Nominations will close on May 24th, and the first match will be held June 1st: the first day of Faggot Month!
The short explanation is: nominate EXACTLY three people for BIGGEST FUCKING FAGGOT ON THE FEDIVERSE!
The legalese follows:
Rules for nomination:
1) Reply to this thread with EXACTLY THREE (3) valid, different users on Fedi. 2) Each nomination carries equal weight: each nomination is exactly one nomination, no more or less. 3) Thirty-one (31) nominations will be taken. 4) People who are almost unanimously believed to be women are not eligible for nominations. Women cannot be faggots! 5) Nominees must MUTUALLY federate with at least one of: poa.st, lab.nyanide.com, or nicecrew.digital. Everyone else is not meaningfully on Fedi. 6) No more than 6 total entrants are allowed from any instance. If this rule causes there to be fewer than 31 entrants, then this number will increase. 7) Past winners may not be nominated. Instead, something special will happen with them at the end of the tournament! Right now, that means Judge Dread, and only Judge Dread! 8) The tournament organizer - CMD - cannot be nominated! Instead, CMD automatically takes the 32nd seed, and is a participant regardless of the outcome of nominations, due to the iron-clad internet rule of "OP is a faggot." 9) Users of any Pedi instance, regardless of whether or not they federate here, may not be nominated, nor may they nominate. 10) Nominees must have used their main fedi account at least once since February 2025. 11) Nominators must have held an account since February 2025 that federates with at least one of: poa.st, lab.nyanide.com, or nicecrew.digital. 12) Any activity that appears to be a credible threat against any of the participants, nominees, nominators, or voters will result in CMD muting you - and as a consequence, you will not be able to participate in the tournament in any capacity except as a participant or nominee. Doxxing is such an activity.
Clarifications: 1) Rules apply to people, not accounts. If your home instance has blown up since February, but everyone knows who you are, then you're OK to nominate. 2) If someone's eligibility changes due to rules 4 or 10, eligibility takes precedence. 3) If someone's eligibility changes due to rules 5, 9 or 11, ineligibility takes precedence. 4) Regarding rule 10, the phrase "used their main fedi account" refers to any activity that is ever visible to at least one user on any instance that federates with either poa.st, NCD, or lab.nyanide.com. This excludes simple logins, but includes any post, like, repost, DM, or reaction that any individual claims to have seen.
@Sui@CSB brought up in DMs an admittedly interesting point by which a certain interpretation of the rules excludes both himself and this person from the tournament. CSB locks posts, and Based Lunatic fucking deletes them, so how can you argue that they're actually using the accounts?
If not for Based Lunatic I'd have just gone and told CSB "nah" and not said anything publicly, but Based Lunatic's *significantly worse* behavior in this regard means that I really do have to say something.
A) I am remaking this thread as it has begun to experience difficulty loading.
B) I am appending the following clarification:
"4) Regarding rule 10, the phrase "used their main fedi account" refers to any activity that is ever visible to at least one user on any instance that federates with either poa.st, NCD, or lab.nyanide.com. This excludes simple logins, but includes any post, like, repost, or reaction that any individual claims to have seen."
This is meant to clarify the two cases of CSB (whose posts are followers-only) and Based Lunatic (who deletes his posts shortly after making them). This is to set in stone the obvious interpretation of that rule.
@BasedLunatic@Sui Yeah, I can understand being on edge when you have Sui's 9001 alts on you.
I can assure you that even though this Faggot Tourney *did* start out as a bit of a targeted swipe, as the tournament organizer I will be treating all entrants equally well/poorly, and that I do not have any particular horse in this race.
I *will* give out advice on how to not fuck things up for yourself, but that's a courtesy I offer everyone. :konata_happy:
@Sui@BasedLunatic To reply to that first one, which I was in the process of doing until it got deleted:
No fucking *wonder* people take swipes at you, holy shit! :reimu_sigh:
A good chunk of people last year voted for CSB just because he restricted posts to followers only - it wasn't the majority of people voting for him, but that's a compelling argument for voting for you in a tournament where lots of people are going to be exposed to you for the first time.
Right now you're seeded pretty high (8th) so you're probably going to take a few rounds just from that.
@Sui@BasedLunatic He currently has two nominations. This behavior seeds him highly in that group, making him the 12th seed out of 31. Unless there's a massive rush, he's in and I can't refuse to put him in.
