I might be retarded but what am doing wrong
You have to put MANUAL VOTE in all caps above your vote submission.
I know some others aren't doing it but i have to tolerate them to some degree or else the votes won't be in the ballot and I don't want to be a pedant

🔥VOTE NOW - THE TOURNAMENT IS LIVE!🔥
Hosted by: @enchanted_elixir & @Notcel



🎶FUOTY 2025 ANTHEM🎶


Please, do not DNR this thread. It contains almost all of the answers to your questions and contains all of the rules.
I recommend skimming the Voting Rules section (in the What is FUOTY, and how does it work? section),
the How to Submit Your Official Nomination Vote section
and the How To See Who Is Winning! Official Leaderboard section

(TOTAL ESTIMATED TIME FOR THE TASK ABOVE: 3-5 minutes)

FUOTY (Forum User of the Year) is looksmax.org's annual championship tournament to crown the most influential, entertaining, and legendary user of the year.
Since its debut in 2022, this electrifying bracket-style spectacle has evolved into an ever-more popular, pulse-pounding arena of charisma, strategy, deception, mass propaganda, campaigning, espionage, defamations and eviscerations, cleverness, epic comebacks, upsets, tears, begging, and sheer entertainment, pitting the site's sharpest strategists, boldest personalities, and most magnetic influencers against each other in a quest for eternal forum legend status. Imagine diving into a whirlwind of meme-fueled campaigns, razor-wit banter, and high-stakes alliances that draw thousands of votes, spark viral drama, and crown one unstoppable user as the year's undisputed king.

It's not just a contest—it's a thrilling ride that ignites and destroys friendships, unleashes creativity, provides endless drama and humor, and turns ordinary threads into epic battlegrounds. Jump in, rally your crew, and carve your name into looksmax lore—who knows, 2025 could be your year to dominate and inspire the masses!

It's our fourth annual FUOTY! Anyone who participated or spectated FUOTY (especially in 2024 & 2023) knows how entertaining the drama can be. :lul:

HOW FUOTY WORKS

Your core goal:
Pass qualifiers, never lose an elimination match, win first place.

FUOTY is divided into two main phases: a long qualification round to narrow the field, followed by fast-paced elimination matches.

Qualification Round
During the qualification round, people may submit up to three votes for other users. There are rules as to how you must vote, which will be discussed later.
Users may campaign, message and proselytize other users to vote for them. Votes are only to be submitted in this thread and on the form provided below. It's important to copy this link so people can come here and vote for you.

Example Voting Submission
Code:
ABC123
Vote 1: @username1
Vote 2: @username2
Vote 3: @username3

Example of a valid FUOTY 2025 qualification round vote.
View attachment 4422629

Qualification Round Voting closes on December 21st, 2025 @ 09:00 EST (9am EST), and the top 16 users with the most verified votes advance to the elimination matches.

In the event where user #16 and #17 have the same amount of votes, the user with the most reputation points will advance.

Elimination Matches
The top 16 most voted users will be declared, put into brackets at random, and the matches and their dates will be announced on December 22, 2025 @ 09:00 EST (9am EST) in a thread. Elimination matches start on December 23, 2025 @ 09:00 EST (9am EST)

View attachment 4422636

During an elimination round, users have exactly 24 hours to vote. After 24 hours, the poll closes forever. Participants and their allies must focus on accruing as many votes as possible and dominate the other user (getting more votes) to proceed to the next round. Draws are broken via whoever has the most reputation points. Voters can change their vote during the 24-hour time period, and votes are visible to everyone. This process repeats until the finals are completed. There are rules for voting here too, and they will be posted in the thread for every match.

Qualification Round Specific Rules
RuleDescription
Vote IntegrityA ballot must contain valid, non-self votes. If a vote is cast for a non-existent or banned user, that ballot is void, and they will have to resubmit the vote.
Deadline EnforcementVotes submitted via the Google Form after the official deadline of [DECEMBER 21, 2025 @ 09:00 EST] will be automatically rejected by the system and will not be recorded, no matter what.
Vote RejectionAny of the hosts are able to, at their discretion, unverify and reject a ballot during the elimination rounds if the user is caught not following the rules. The host must contact the user they unverified with the reason why their vote has been unverified with strong evidence supporting it.
Vote ReinstatementAny of the hosts are able to, at their discretion, reverify a ballot during the elimination rounds if the user demonstrates evidence proving they followed all rules. The user must contact the host who unverified their vote with the reason why their vote has been unverified with strong evidence supporting it.
Verification PriorityOnly verified votes are counted.
Perfect spelling is mandatoryYou can not make typos on your username or your votes. If someone is named @xxx234 on Looksmax, you must insert the user (whether it's you or your vote) exactly as it's written on Looksmax, with the @ in front of it. This is because the system can not distinguish between @xxx234 and @XXX234, and will treat them as different people and the person won't be able to get their vote. Imperfect spelling ballots will be voided. You will have to resubmit the vote.
No Duplicate NomineesA single ballot must not contain the same nominee multiple times. This is enforced for all 3 vote slots.Vote Voided. Their entire ballot is rejected and unverified. You will have to resubmit the vote.Maintains fairness and prevents ballot stuffing for one candidate.
Verification Content MatchThe verification post in the official thread must exactly match the username of the form submission and the content (usernames) of the votes cast.Vote Voided. Rejected during the automated or manual verification sweep. You will have to resubmit it, and you could get in trouble.Guarantees ballot integrity against fraudulent posts.
Pledge RequirementThe voter must explicitly affirm on the form that they have read and agree to all tournament rules. Failure to do so results in instant rejection.Vote Voided. Rejected instantly upon form submission. You will have to resubmit the vote.Ensures accountability and informed consent to the rules.
Only Latest Ballot CountsThe automated system counts only the latest, fully verified ballot submitted by any given voter. All previous submissions, even if verified, are overridden.Previous Vote Discarded. Only the most recent submission timestamp is used for counting.Allows voters to correct mistakes or change their minds during the voting period.
Full Ballot BonusA user who submits a fully valid ballot containing exactly three unique votes receives a bonus of +1 point added to their own tally (self-vote) in the Qualification Round.+1 Point Added. System logic applies the bonus point to the voter's score.Incentivizes voters to engage fully with the nomination process.
Host Discretion on Error MessagesHosts may write custom error messages on voting submissions at their discretion.Host(s) change the error message. This displays why their vote was discarded.Tells users why their votes were invalid. They can learn from that.

RuleDescription
You can change your vote within the 24-hour voting window.Allows voters to correct mistakes or change their minds during the voting period.



FUOTY 2025 is the FIRST FUOTY that utilizes a fully automated voting system built from scratch to ensure fairness and transparency, replacing the time-consuming, error-prone manual counting of past years.

Key Features:
  • ✅Auto-validation: Prevents self-voting & duplicate votes.
  • ✅ Live Leaderboard: Updates every 60 minutes automatically.
  • ✅Deadline Enforcement: Rejects late submissions instantly.

The new system is:
  • ✅Automated
  • ✅ Accurate
  • ✅Fully transparent
  • ✅ Fraud-proof



Some things you should know before voting.

Mandatory Verification Step (CRITICAL!): After you've submitted your vote, your vote will be PENDING until you complete this step.
  1. After submitting the form, you will receive a unique 6-character verification code via the email address you provided.
  2. You MUST post it in this thread in the exact format below (see image below)
  3. The automated system updates the leaderboard every 60 minutes, so the leaderboard won't refresh until that has passed, or unless I verify it manually.

I'll get to your votes, everyone.

Had to clean the voting log out, tell a bunch of users to vote properly, and got started on doing manual voting...

But, I have had only slept 5 hr 22 mins in the last 59-60 hours and it's taking a huge toll on me so I'll have to count the manual votes later today.

Sorry everyone.
Goodnight.
