@Hanyuu YOu should read the OP. Apparantly, we don't have a mapset selector, yet :P

And srsly. Stop spamming. I don't feel like wiping out this thread every time. It's easier for me to restrict your posting privileges in this forums.
Macacito
isn't Hidden an inappropriate mod?

[Edit] Talked to farto; gonna do my best on helping with the map selection process. I have a lot of map lists already, gonna sort out and provide the best for everyone to enjoy.

GladiOol send me this over FB.

So, I posted that I wanted to be captain of the dutch team.
I posted I want 8 players in my team because the last 2 years we had problems with getting enough players.
I post that when bad maps appear, I'll leave, but the team won't

And I ended up with saying HD might give a few problems, but I'm okay with that.


Why on earth would and admin who reads this be so butthurt that he edits my posts, then delete my posts and then ban my posting privileges.
Really? I just want to know why. I'm not even being rude or anything.

NL true owc #2 champions!


Gladi edit: Loctav, if you don't like my posts contact me in-game or PM. Don't EDIT and DELETE my posts and then BAN me for YOUR actions.

He posted properly. He's sorry if it mad you mad in any way, but the fact do is that NL played a few rounds with 3 players because of the problem they had with getting enough. Why can't they just have 8?

Again, Gladi wants his posting rights back etc. so he can discuss this with you in a normal matter/way. There's no need to ban him for 2 hours just because you don't agree with him.

Any chance of including a losers' bracket for this? ie. double eliminations format

It'll take a lot more time on scheduling though..

I'll be captain for team Canada
I already have a good idea of who will be in the team, but if you think you have a chance please PM me in-game~
also spread the word if you can.. because I don't have time to PM everyone ;_;
Tanzklaue
just allow 8 players. there is really no reason not to do it.
it makes it easier to get dates to play, the teams can use their players more tactical ("ah streammap? jumpy, go out, streamy, go in"), and the more people are playing the more fun it is to watch and participate. and, of course, it's easier to get someone else to play if some players can't play on the given date.

if you look at professional tournaments, then you will see that most of the time, the bank of substitutes is often even bigger than the team on the field, for the same reasons.

Meh, let's hope Jappy finds out about this and tries to organise something.

Guys you should throw some discussion about whether scores or accuracy matter more because scores give really random results that are unrelated to play quality especially with today's maps. Maybe tourney would be better off with win-by-acc and not win-by-score..?
thelewa
The scoring has been win-by-score in the past tournaments so I don't really see a reason to change it
XPJ38
Being able to FC a map / get a good score on it at all times is a quality required to play the game, especially in multi. It shows how good you have become on the map. So no, we should keep the win-by-score system.

I beg to disagree. It's possible to play intentionally in a way that mis-plays maps correctly and yet has a much higher, more reliable chance to combo consistently on maps (at the loss of accuracy). Especially in multi, if you play for a score win, it's in fact better to play like that instead of playing correctly because you can always get random miss in the middle of the map and have the entire score ruined and get random'd out if you play legit. There are more than enough cases where one player has both higher acc and less miss than another yet less score from another due to combo, and it feels really unfair if the latter gets the win when it's clear the first one played better.

thelewa wrote:

Reason would be: to improve and make progress instead of getting stuck with sub-optimal decisions from the past. Focusing on accuracy and miss instead of combo would improve the quality of plays.

Either way, would be nice if some discussion was made on this before a decision was met; even if you just stick with scores in the end.
silmarilen
in single player score matters less because you can replay a map 500 times, in mp you can only play a map once so your score shows how good you are at the map. especially in an OWC you are pretty much expected to fc it anyway.
but please dont turn this into a gameplay and rankings topic.
thelewa
Loctav is going to clean up the thread anyway, so just go wild.
Aqo

silmarilen wrote:

in reality most people won't fc; unless we pick very ridiculously easy maps. that's why I'm bringing this up. this affects the map picking process heavily
thelewa
Most of the maps picked for OWC are going to be normal Insanes, with slightly increasing difficulty for each round. I don't remember what maps were played in last year's Finals, though.

edit: I just checked the last thread, you should use it for advice too. The maps for the Finals were on the level of Chousai Kenbo Sengen and F.I, so not really hard at all. They were basically all the tiebreakers and a few extra maps.
XPJ38
Aqo, your point of view makes sense (even if you forgot to mention all the other cases in multi where the winner also gets the best acc), but OWC must reflect osu! logic: the better your score is, the higher you are in the rankings. That's all. It IS sometimes unfair, but it's the way it goes. osu! is not an accuracy-centered game.
nazal99x
Is that tournament
for std or all mode ?
thelewa
Standard. There is already a 2013 Taiko World Cup thread.

Loctav in OWC, too? Interesting.

BTW No more 'rubberband-like schedule', I hope.
