The Ciddies
Final Voting
Wow, talk about member participation - we've finally cracked into three digits, with 106 members sending in nominations - a massive thanks to you all, as without your nominations, we obviously wouldn't have the finals. With 2,610 nominations being sent in with the names of 316 members, we've definitely done well this time - a few surprise finalists and also, some very unlucky not to get this far...
To be nominated into the second round for an award, a member must obtain two nominations in that award. However, should eight members all recieve three nominations, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for eight members recieving four nominations each, and so on.
The above rule means that a few unfortunate members (I'll detail who they are in the nominations tally which will be posted once voting closes) missed out on getting to the final of either Best Male, Best Female, Best Recognized Member/Former Staff, Nicest Member, Sexiest Female, Cutest Female, Most Missed Member and Most Likely To Get Banned - better luck next time, guys! It was effectively the same for Best Graphic Designer - although only seven got three nominations, not one member received just two nominations.
As with last time, that just means we'll have some tougher competition. Still, a lot of you made it through, and here are the finalists for the 2006 Mid-Year Ciddies!
The rules for voting are simple - vote for one of the listed members (or couples, for Ciddies' #35 & 50) for each award. Send your votes to me using the Private Message system at EoFF. There are no other such restrictions (ie, you can vote for any member for as many awards as they are eligible for). Also, for those of you interested in presenting a Ciddie, please see the 10th post in this thread.
