SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
Well, so here we are. What a long, strange trip these last couple of months have been. We've seen some great ups and some mighty hard obstacles to overcome. Yet, through it all, we've continued to come together as a community and bond as best we can. The Ciddies, in my mind, represent this bond, regardless of who wins or who doesn't.
Scrolling down the list of winners and nominees, I was struck by the wide range in people, some were new, some were vets, some seemed like shoe-ins, others came up big on the biggest stages during this. Great diversity here and it's only fitting that the awards should show that.
In regards to the Ciddies I somehow managed to win, I recall what Mike Caine once said, "Though I may be the winner, that does not make me the best." We all have so much to offer one another and frankly, I'd like to share all of what I've gotten with each and every one of you as I've learned and gained so much insight from all of you. Winning these only affirms my hopes that I might be doing some good rather than just helping in vain and I'm deeply honored and even more humbled by all of this, as all of us winners are.
It's a mighty fine forum we have here, and it'll only get better as we all grow and learn from one another.
Congrats to everyone involved in this, be you a winner, a nominee, a voter, or just someone who read through the pages and pages of posts.
Loony BoB/Award Guy, I want to thank you personally for always giving your time, effort and heart to this place, to share with us all that you have and then some. Hopefully, now you have ample time to relax and recover.
Take so much care everyone.

Hi, congrats to all the winners, nominees, voters and Award Guy.
You're slipping down the chain, Del.Originally Posted by Sephiroth1999AD
So, congratulations to all the winners. As I said before, things have been quite different this time round. Well, except for BoB walking away with most of the Ciddies.
Quite right. Out of all the forums I've posted at over my 'Net years, this one is by far the most involving and personal one. Posting at EoFF is quite an experience, even if you don't get along perfectly with every member here. I'm just glad to be a part of it - and you should be too!
Well done to all the Ciddie Champions, and good luck to everyone in the next awards.

That was beautiful.And congratulations for being the Ciddie Magnet of December 2004.

Aww, I went to bed just when it was getting good and missed all the fun. How sad for me.
I can't believe I lost Horniest Member again! You people just don't understand. You just don't get what's in my head.
And no more Best Admin for me. Finally! Screw modesty, I seriously never did anything to deserve that one.
I still think of Chaos as being cute though... Kinda weird to think of her as sexy. o.O I went to Winged Soceress on that one.
And I will do my best to live up to my shiney new Evilest Member Ciddie. *bows and begins plotting*
Congrats all the winners and unwinners.

So another great Ciddies competition comes to an end. Award Guy, despite being a unidexter () for the duration of the competition, has pulled off a stunning award marathon once again. Surviving on little more than a Cow, A Kit Kat and a Peacock, he defies the odds yet again and dedicates a whole day of his (short, if Baloki has anything to do with it) life to provide us with up to the minute Ciddies coverage. The entire Eyes on Final Fantasy community wishes to thank you, AG, and perhaps one day, if you keep it up, BoB will set you free at last. Until then, back in the basement for another six months! *prods with broom*
As for the award winners, congratulations to you all. You're the best that Eyes on Final Fantasy has to offer, and that is not a feat to be taken lightly. When you're lying in a ditch, bleeding from your ears and mouth due to numerous gunshot and stab wounds to the head, alone, unloved, and with the planet consumed by nuclear conflict, at least you can say to yourself; 'Well, at least I was voted Most Likely to be Driving the Bus by that group of internet nerds I used to chat with'.
And for those who didn't win, don't be disheartened. There's always next year, after all, and just because a few elitist jerks don't appreciate you doesn't mean you're not a valued member of the forums. After all, We all had a good time, discussing, voting, and eagerly awaiting the results. In that sense, we're all winners.
However, in an actual sense, only the people who won awards are winners, and that's the only sense anyone cares about.
Seriously though, I'm looking forward to the next Ciddies already. Although of course, first we've got the Screen Name Tourney, The Video Game Awards, the rest of the Decathlon, the Elections, and countless other projects that our fellow EoFF members work so hard on for our enjoyment. There's never a dull moment around here, and that's what makes us such a successful site. It's not the award-winners or the admins alone, but every single member who's ever taken the time out to share their thoughts, start a thread, or joke around on these pages. Every single person who comes here, be they the head administrator or an unreconised newbie, makes this community even better than it was before.
Except Meat Puppet. He can just go to hell.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
I was planning to start up the "Name that Game" competition once again after the Decathlon, but I'd appreciate some dates for these other events so that I don't dilute their presence.

More random info...
These Ciddies saw nine first time winners! Trumpet Thief, Denmark, Kirobaito, Rinoabella, Yazoo'squeen, TasteyPies, Ouch!, >>--heartshot--> ♥ and Fuzakeru all won their first Ciddies yesterday. Some waited three years for this, while Rinoabella waited just over four years - I'm pretty confident that's a new record!
Extending their 3+ winning streaks today were Award Guy (Best Signature), Matty Pie! (Cutest Male) and ShlupQuack (Best Female), all reaching their fourth consecutive wins. Farah also managed to makehis fifth consecutive win - as Most Helpful Techy branches off the old all-inclusive Most Helpful Member Ciddie. Although Leeza was at center stage in this regard - her sixth Nicest Member award in a row means she now sits one spot behind Wyllius' record of seven consecutive wins in the same award. Wyll's record run was put to a stop as the feisty Scotsman's votes ran short of Psychotic. Wyll is no longer an active poster at EoFF, so it's good to see EoFF's voters moving with the times - however Wyll's record will never be forgotten, that's for sure.
Farah has interestingly now managed an odd record - he has won using more names than any other EoFF'er. He's used crono_logical, Guu, Arche and now Farah to get to his five victories, all in the Most Helpful Member/Techy award.
Del Murder's three Ciddies put him into the top ten all-time winners of EoFF Awards / Ciddies. He jumps ahead of HOOTERS into the #10 position. Shlup, the previous #10, also moves up as HOOT hits #11. Shlup now resides at #9.
New entrants to the all-time list (you require three wins to get on it) include The Captain (tied for #21), eest and Psy (both tied for #36), Big D, Rye and Trumpet Thief (all tied for #42). Trumps took home three Ciddies yesterday.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
but we <3 RSL.
6th Best Member again! but with fewer votes! and Psychotic to contend with this time! AND The Captain! but my sincere congratulations go to BoB.
I will do my best in the next six months to earn a Ciddie with a little more respect attached to it than that one. ^_^ but what the heck, it's my first ciddie. I'm a-keepin' it.

Bow before the mighty Javoo!
oh yeah, a couple more things.
Who is it that votes RSL for every award?
and have you ever considered a "best non-staff member" award? Because the top two vote-getters for best member are on staff. and there are some deserving non-staff members.
I can't reveal who voted for who - that's up to the individuals to say for themselves.
That's what the Best Veteran etc. awards are for. I'm pretty sure Unne has won Best Member while not being on staff so it's possible. Cap'n was tied for the lead at one point, too.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
