The End of Year Ciddies, 2004 - Finalists Revealed - Voting has closed

[Kirobaito]

Also up is Kirobaito, who claims he was "robbed and molested" after not winning last time. But that's what I did to him regardless of him winning. He liked it. Really.

When did I ever tell you that?

[The Captain]

"I declare this to be a showdown, or perhaps a hodown (I'm hoping that's a dance they do in the Wild West, if not it'll be something involving hookers...either way, COOL!)"

Here's an interesting tidbit for you Psy-

The term "hoedown" was indeed coined in the Wild West, and it meant a combination of the two things you were hoping for:

Men would enter a bar or brothel and would do what is now the modern version of the squaredance, and whatever women they finished the dance with, they took to bed with them.

It's amazing the things you can learn when you work part-time at a book store.

Take care all.

Otherwise people will just vote based on name and reputation rather than on who deserves each award.

Or we could just look in the photo album to see who is the sexiest. <3 Bert!

[Strider]

It doesn't really matter, since I think the same people have won those sexiest/cutest awards since the dawn of the Ciddies.

[Psychotic]

Why you telling everyone else my bidnez?!

It's the future! Tell me off then

When did I ever tell you that?

You didn't, I made it up to make the predictions more interesting.

[Flying Mullet]

Hey Award Guy, what's the tally on votes and members so far?

[Cz]

Well done for asking a statistical question. I can hear his whoop of glee from here.

Part V of the End of Year Ciddies, 2004 Commentaries.

This is it, the final 10, or first 10 awards. These are usually the most important, and last to be announced, because they're the most important of the important awards. Anyway, let's move on to them!

1) Best Member
Agent Proto
Big D
Del Murder
Denmark
Giga Guess
Loony BoB
Psychotic
The Captain
TheAbominatrix
Trumpet Thief
Well, what do you know, it's just like last time, except we have a bunch of new faces on board. However, most of them new faces are long shots at winning the big one. Well, in any case, this one always tight among the finalists. They deserve the nominations, because they're the best of the best. It will be especially tight among the likes of Del, BoB, Big D, Psy, and The Cap'n. TheAbominatrix, being the only female for best member, will have a tough time competing with the boys. Agent Proto, Denmark, Trumpet Thief, and Giga Guess, worth mentioning, will have a tougher time, mostly because they're new faces to this award. (except for Denmark, he was nominated last time.) Overall, the top 5 will battle it out. Proto's Prediction: Loony BoB.

2) Best Male
Agent Proto
Big D
Del Murder
Denmark
Giga Guess
Loony BoB
Psychotic
The Captain
Yamaneko
Similar to the last Ciddies, we may see BoB dominate this. However, he has plenty of challenges. Especially with Psychotic. Together, they always seem to battle. It's like never-ending. However, BoB has an advantage over him. It'll be tighter among the two, while the others may try to sneak a win. Proto's Prediction: Loony BoB.

3) Best Female
anime_angel
fire_of_avalon
Fuzakeru
kikimm
Leeza
Rusty
Rye
ShlupQuack
TheAbominatrix
Xander
Lots of new faces for Best Female. Who's been around since last time would be a couple of them. The new faces with a possible chance to win would be Fuzakeru, Rusty, or kikimm. Of the old faces, ShlupQuack, TheAbominatrix, and Xander. ShlupQuack, however, should continue her streak. Proto's Prediction: ShlupQuack.

4) Best Administrator
Cid
Daryl
Dr Unne
Farah
Loony BoB
Roogle
ShlupQuack
It should be a lock that ShlupQuack would win this. However, with the promotion of Loony BoB awhile ago since the last Ciddies, it will be tougher for her to win again. We also have Dr Unne and possibly the owner to consider as well. While Shlup and BoB fight for votes, the good Dr Unne should ease to victory. Proto's Prediction: Dr Unne.

5) Best Cid's Knight
Big D
Del Murder
Kawaii Ryûkishi
Leeza
Matty Pie!
RSL
Xander
Yamaneko
Now that Loony BoB is out of the picture, the winner is more fuzzy then it has been in the past. The finalists with the best chances, would be, about all of them. However, it will be especially tight among Kishi, Matt, Xander, and Yams for the prize. Proto's Prediction: Kawaii Ryûkishi.

6) Best Site Staff
Baloki
bennator
CloudDragon
Cloud_Strider
eternalshiva
Flying Mullet
Heath
Samuraid
Strider
I know, I know. eternalshiva won last time, but it will be tough to repeat, now that the race is now tough. With Flying Mullet, Strider, and possibly Baloki all in the mix, it will be a brawl for the win. Proto's Prediction: Strider.

7) Best Recognized Member / Former Staff
Agent Proto
eestlinc
Endless
Spatvark
Squally Leonharty
TheAbominatrix
Ah, who doesn't love a bit of excitement? Here, we have several big names for this one. First, there's me, Agent Proto, the past winner and first FS to win. Then, we have RMs, eestlinc and TheAbominatrix. Between the three, it will be tough. The others, have not posted in quite awhile, except for some appearances by Endless, but that's about it. The real challenge is Proto, eest, and TheAbo. =) Proto's Prediction: Agent Proto.

8) Best Veteran
Citizen Bleys
fire_of_avalon
Jebus
Levian
Psychotic
Rye
ShlupMoo
The Captain
We all love Bleys, right? Well, it's great that he's lovable, but this time around, he has a tough time to repeat as Best Veteran. We have the likes of Jebus, Psychotic, Rye, ShlupMoo and The Captain around, and all should give Bleys a hard time. I think it's time for The Cap'n to win one of the big awards. Proto's Prediction: The Captain.

9) Best Regular
Carnage
Del Moomba
Dixie
Doomsday
kikimm
Necronopticous
nik0tine
Starlight Angel
TasteyPies
Trumpet Thief
Ah, a bunch of first timers. We have Starlight Angel, Del Moomba, Doomsday, Carnage, and Necronopticous. Which one shall take the Best Regular, as well with the others? Well, it looks like we may have a surprise. Proto's Prediction: TasteyPies.

10) Best Newbie
beyondthegrave
General Zod
KFCruelty
Marick
MoonsEcho
Penguin
Yazoo'squeen
Who doesn't love the newbies? ^_^ First off, I won this award when I was a newbie, so whoever wins shall be joining the likes of me. Anyway, who do I think has the best chance? Well, I don't know. It's tough, but it's great to see the new members are joining and getting into EoFF. It hasn't been like this in quite a long time. So, every finalist has a great chance. The four I think that have the best chances are KFCruelty, MoonsEcho, Penguin, and Yazoo'squeen. Proto's Prediction: MoonsEcho.

[Psychotic]

I was going to stop taunting you, but really, not predicting me for Best Male? (Or any of the other 17 nominations I have, for that matter...)

If there was a "most likely to pee his pants in glee" award, you'd win it. ^^

[Psychotic]

Change "his pants" to "IN PROTO'S BED FOR BEING MEAN" then yeah

[Flying Mullet]

Psychotic wins the "We Psychotic" ciddie.
