Another Ciddies come and gone, with plenty to talk about, not the least of which is EOFF's ability to crash the site, which is very impressive.

First off, great job from AG as always. I am always in awe of the level of work and commitment that goes into these awards and without you and/or BoB, these just wouldn't be the same. Though plenty of people have said it, thank you so much for your time, effort, and for wrecking your sleeping schedule just for us.

Next to the BIG, and I mean BIG winner, Christmas, for smashing the record by claiming 1/5 of the Ciddies! To say you have very quickly become an important and vital member here is an understatement. Great work and hopefully, more of the same in the future!

To all the winners, wonderful job in making this Ciddies one of the most open and, based on the prediction results, and for lack of a better word, unpredictable ever. All of the winners were truly well-deserved and I'm very happy to see some first time winners get the recognition they truly did earn.

Congrats to Jess and Paul for having the second and third most votes respectively and to RSL, for coming in 4th despite being more or less absent for a while, including two wins. The power of the beard lives on.


To everyone else, even if you didn't win, feel good that there was someone, if even yourself, who thought enough of you to vote for you. Winning, while satisfying isn't everything, and if you do feel down about not getting that Ciddie you wanted, use it as motivation to make the time between now and the next Ciddies your opportunity to continue to be an active part of EOFF. As this round has shown, you can very quickly rise up to be recognized for your work here, so take heart and keep plugging away.

At the end of the day, we're all winners in our own right because we made this such an enjoyable, though very long, experience. This is just one of the countless parts that make EOFF what it is, and I hope to see each and every one continue to be active and make this place what it is moving forward.

So, happy holidays to everyone and good luck as we go onward into the new year that is rapidly approaching.


Take care all.
