The Mid-Year Ciddies 2006 - Finalists Revealed!

[Owen Macwere]

I can't afford to make actual gold statues and send them out, sorry.

don't worry. now only making these participating thing is enough.
I want to thank ciddies it helpped me get friends and well be happy.
thank you AG

No problem. And we now have 4,883 votes from 115 members... and still 29 Ciddies have no more than five votes seperating them - that includes two ties, and in one of those ties there are three more members within two votes of the leading pair. I can say that some of the biggest Ciddies are still very much up for grabs, and in one of the Ciddies, two of the nominees have at least 40 votes each...

[Yamaneko]

You can't really be sure those weren't my votes. This is an injustice!

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

It was a judgement call I was willing to make.

[Owen Macwere]

I am so excited about this thing LOl

[eestlinc]

EDIT: Oh, and replica votes are not accepted, especially when they're that obvious. Sorry, eestaneko, but I can't accept the votes from Yamlinc.

There's no rule that says I can't tell Yamaneko how to vote. He asked me who to vote for in each category and I told him!

[Loony BoB]

There's also no rule that says AG can't say "sod that" and not accept said votes, mind you. It happens almost every Ciddies. Votes should always be made by the person to reflect who they alone feel should win, without outside influence. Saves on people getting two dozen newbies to vote for them in something (this has also happened, although it wasn't two dozen, it was more like ten).

[Dignified Pauper]

can we spam PM advertise!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!???!?!?! Because that would be AWESOME

[bipper]

If I put in a vote for dignified pooper; award guy knows who I mean - right? <3
er yeah, I did this for several of my votes- so just kinda wondering if they get tossed.

[Old Manus]

And voting 'Jojo' is invalid too, so be aware.

[Chris]

I just sent in my Introduction speech. That was not easy to write.

[KentaRawr!]

Mine was very easy to write. Because I'm lazy.

[Denmark]

which categories are still available to be presented? such a list would be useful.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

There's a list a page or so back that has been kept updated, but I suppose I can do a quick update here too... so, at the time of this post...

I so far have 12 completed speeches in. I encourage presenters to go for more than one, now.

Also, for those stats whores like BoB and myself, here's a lovely graph which shows just how close a lot of these Ciddies still are, even after 115 people have voted...

[Rase]

Speech sent. I'm pretty happy with it

EDIT: Man, one of those has 21 votes between the top two? I think I may know which one, if the last Ciddies are any indication.
