    I might not be correct but sometimes on vote3.skyblock.net it doesn't think you did the captcha but still says you have already done it, but because it thinks you didn't solver the captcha correctly, it doesn't count it

    The total number of possible votes varies because we don't cut off the monthly votes at exactly midnight of the first of every month. It's currently a manual process that Noobcrew takes care of as soon as he can after midnight on the first of every month. In addition, there are timezone differences between the voting sites, which we have no control over. While these uncertainties may allow a player to get an extra vote or two one month, it acts both ways: that same player will have a disadvantage next month since those votes won't count toward next month's totals.

    As for the vote counts shown in game using /votetop, they are not official rankings because they don't properly account for ties between players with the same vote count.

    We use a more formal and repeatable process to tally the votes at the end of the month:
    • Players are first sorted by vote totals
    • Then, players with the same vote total are sorted by the timestamp of their final vote. This means that among the players who all had 90 votes, those who got their votes in first got priority over the ones who voted after they did, because they reached that total first.
    • In case of any identified alts, only the one with the highest total and earliest final vote timestamp is considered, any others are excluded so other players have a chance to win
    This process is time-consuming and resource intensive, so it is not feasible to calculate on-demand in-game, which is why the in-game totals given by /votetop are not calculated the same way, and should only be used to give you a general idea of what the vote totals are.

    Hopefully this clarifies a bit how the votes are calculated.
