I think the MLT speeches should have a length limitation.

I don't like that TIME thing. Why not make it by AMOUNT OF POSTS INSTEAD??? A 1000+ member labeled as newbie??? that's pathetic.Originally Posted by Loony BoB
Because that would just encourage people to spam and get their post count up!!1
Besides spamming a crapload of posts doesn't make you any less of a n00b. It just makes you a n00b who spams a lot.
Get rid of the bus ciddies imho.
Edit: Some kind of a lifetime achievment Ciddie could be pretty suave, I guess. Like, once a year in one of the ciddies, someone could be RM'd or whatever.
true that, I get your point. But still, I don't like labeling people as n00bs and veterans and such, it just REALLY drives away those who join, they'll stay for 3 weeks or so and then realize they'll never be ANYTHING like the regulars/veterans and it'll all really fall apart for EOFF.
stfu n00b lol
SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
YAY!........................:twak:
If people were driven away from being labelled a n00b no one would have joined the internet in the last 8 years.
you mean forums??? People really don't care being labelled a n00b around the internet, but they do hate it in a message board. I mean, not really HATE IT, but it LOWERS the chances of them really staying in the message board at all, they won't feel like they're a part of the family.
Anyway, admins/mods can go ahead and do it, bye bye EOFF
Maybe it's just me, but I feel a n00b and a Newbie are completely different things. A Newbie is someone who is just new to something, be it EoFF, soccer, or the internet. A n00b is someone who acts immature, stupid, and is usually disrespectful in some way, and therefore deserve the different label.
Oh, and I wouldn't get your hopes up on EoFF going away.
Anyway, as for actual feedback, I thought the Ciddies went okay this time. However, like others have said, I think that the bus awards should be retired and something new put in their place. Or just make them like the others and change them each Ciddies, keep things interesting.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
Yeah, those two terms always get mixed up, anyway, it's not like it's going to be on my final or anything.
And who said I'm getting my hopes up :laugh:
I've been here four years and I'm still a noob
To be honest, with the current periods of time in place that qualify members as either Newb/Vet/Reg, I reckon a Newbie might as well be a Regular. Maybe you could leave Newbie as it is but stretch out Regular a bit so that Veteran will also get pushed back.
Rase is completely right. There's a huge difference between a newbie and n00bs. I love newbies and I love being a newbie. The freshness of everything in the beginning is great. N00bs don't get much love from me though.
In any case, it's silly to complain about a best "newbie" award and if you get offended by that award and leave the forums, then you don't belong here anyway.
And my suggestion about changing the newbie/regular/veteran wasn't about changing the periods of time, it was about adding a new category to that bunch. The current time periods are fine, I just think we need a new category for people who have been here for like, over 3 or 4 years.
As for post counts... well, it's quality not quantity.
Yes.
But which Ciddie would that new Ciddie replace? Most, if not all, of the top 35 are pretty set now. Maybe I can do away with Horniest Member or something, but I think a lot of people would be pretty disappointed with that.
Hmm. Some people calling for more Bests, some people calling for less. This is sort of like a swear word debate in the ol' Feedback Forum.
There's no way in hell Best Newbie is getting canned, but I think everyone knows that. I can't think of a single person who has won that award and then gone on to say that they are offended that they have been labelled a newbie. If that really does drive people away, I haven't noticed it, considering EoFF is one of the fastest (if not THE fastest) growing dedicated Final Fantasy forums out there.
The reason Award Guy does the speech for Best Member is because he can provide commentary on what's already gone on during the night and so on. Also, from what I've been told from the last Ciddies, his speech was one of the best of the night (I won't say THE best because that's a matter of opinion). I think Psychotic has done it before, though. Having said that, I'll keep an open mind to other people doing the Best Member speech but - not to be egotistical or anything - I feel that I (er, and AG) have some of the strongest knowledge on the varied finalists, as well as being able to say "this person has already won _______ tonight", which works in my (er, and his) favour.
eest: I'd rather not have that because a) it puts pressure on people who have won an award to retire it when they might not want to, b) it might affect people's opinion of them if they do/don't, and c) it would ruin the whole winning-streak thing.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Why can't you just have 36?
