Ciddies Mid-Year 2013: VOTING CLOSED (nomination tally now up)

[Baloki]

Vote Baloki for Best Admin!

[LadyJuxtaposition]

Just submitted my votes! Btw, I think my name was misspelled: it's "LadyJuxtaposition" not LadyJuxtaosition. Someone forgotten the "p" between the second "a" and "o". Just wanted to point that out, no big deal. Looking forwards for the results!

[Shiny]

I'll get around to doing this sometime this evening. :shiny:

(So stop sending me reminders)

After a flurry of votes coming in this morning, I've only received one set of votes since. What are you people waiting for?

Voting will close at the end of Sunday July 7, at 11:59 PM EST.

Depending on how much more I have to do, I may end up letting you have through the night as well, but for anyone who wants to vote, plan on having your votes in by the end of the day tomorrow.

Thanks to the 46 voters so far:

I fully expect all staffers who don't vote to be publicly named and shamed and ideally locked in stocks while the rest of the EoFF community throw custard pies at them.

[Del Murder]

When's the revelation for this? I don't think I can have my speech done by Sunday.

[Raistlin]

Depends on the award, so you have a little extra time. The revelations for the MLT awards will hopefully start Tuesday evening and carry over the next couple of days (9th-11th). The big revelations day will be this Saturday, the 13th.

Oooh that's new. Last Ciddies the revelations was all in one go.

[Pike]

Most Ciddies ceremonies do happen all in one go, but Raist wanted to try something different.

[Queen Award, First of Her Name]

Less than 10 hours left to vote! And we have reached 50 voters, with hopefully more coming in today.

I still need to tally some of the latest votes, but your vote still counts, as there are a bunch of close races. Best Member has six people within 5 points of each other, and a number of categories are either tied or very close. There's really only a few awards where the leaders are probably out of reach at this point, so every vote matters!

EDIT: Oh, and yes, I am trying something a bit different this year by extending the revelations and festivities, just to see how it goes. My changes may be completely undone for the next Ciddies, but this should at least be useful feedback for future hosts.

[Formalhaut]

I would have thought there'd be more than 50. We must have more active members than that! What's the voting numbers been like in other years?

[Denmark]

i think 50ish actually fits the trendline for the mid-year ciddies, which are less active than the end-of-year ciddies. don't quote me on that though

It looks like the last winter Ciddies had 75 voters, but last summer was only 37. The 2011 summer Ciddies was 55 voters. So if we pass the 55 voters mark, I'll be happy.

~55 voters is still a bit low considering we had 51 nominators, which was almost as high as last winter's nominations total. Usually more people vote than nominate, so a lot of people were lazy this time. But it's still a respectable turnout overall.
