Mid-Year Ciddies 2006
Winner Revelations Thread

Hello ladies and gentleman, good morning, good afternoon and good evening to you all and welcome to the official winner revelations thread for the tenth ever Ciddies. These Ciddies have been brought to you by various sponsors including the Ciddies Committee, Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums and Chatroom Community, The Cookie Monster Smilie and A Picture Of A Turkey Hitting A Dog. Once again we have our highest ever participation, and we also beat the December 2005 Ciddies in every area possible - more nominations, more nominators, more nominees, more finalists, more votes, more voters! Awesome stuff - you can't ask for more than that! A massive thankyou to everyone who got involved. We also have more presentation speeches completed on time than last year, which is great!

I'll be your host for this thread, meaning that the thread will be extremely lengthy - at an estimate, it'll take about 12 or more hours to get through all the Ciddies (and Highwind Awards). With the help of all of my many volunteer presenters, I hope that we can keep you entertained and bring in a crowd of posters to the thread - I'm relying on you guys to post your thoughts as things go on. I refuse to double post, so if you guys aren't posting, I won't be either! No double posting should be done by you lot, either... so don't get too spammy, okay?

The Ciddies will be revealed in reverse order from #50 to #1. In the first post for each Ciddie, I'll be giving you a bit of detail as to who won the award last time, who was the leading nominee (by amount of nominations) and who our Ciddies Prediction Party members predicted to win - a big thanks to all seventeen of them for providing their thoughts to help make things interesting. After that post, the presenter will give a short or long speech - there will be a variety of them - and then I will reveal "Those that didn't make it", leaving just 2-3 members with the possibility of winning. After that, the winner will be announced... that means at least four posts for every Ciddie! YOu can imagine just how long this thing can end up being.

Along with the Ciddies will be the Highwind Awards, as introduced last December - one for Forums Staff and one for Site Staff. The unique thing about these awards is that they are voted on purely by the staff associated with them, and I'm sure the winners will take great pride in receiving them. These are in acknowledgement of the fact that a lot of the work done by the staff of EoFF is not seen by the general public, and only the staff can give a fully informed opinion on how well their peers are doing overall.

Now, one last thing - this will probably take me a hell of a long time, so there will be breaks throughout the thread where we can all go and eat, drink, sleep, that sort of thing. Well, I'm hoping it won't come to needing to take a break to sleep, but you never know - it's happened before! So please bear with me as the last eight of so hours I've spent awake have been non-stop work on getting this stuff ready for you all.

This speech was quite a ripoff of December's one, which I apologise for, but I was running out of time after typing up the tally and sorting out all the speeches!

So... y'all ready for this?
