I originally wanted to map songs for getting them ranked, but I've lost my motivation in the process - I have few maps ready, but in fact I have never submitted them.

Why do you map?

I selected Other
I map because I want people to enjoy the music even more in a form of a beatmap
Sometimes the music isn't well known or popular. But I find it really nice and want people to get acquainted with it or just let that small group of people who know it have fun
Other times the particular great song wasn't mapped yet and I want to fix that~

Whoa, that's actually hard to answer.
Obviously, I map for fun. I enjoy the music and have fun interpreting it in form of a map.
But let's be honest, I also look forward to getting my first map ranked. That way, more people can play - and enjoy - my map, which in the end will make me happy.
Additionally, having some people know you as a mapper isn't a bad thing either.
Oh yeah, and I think experience in mapping does help a bit for playing as well. If you are a mapper you can understand other's maps easier and eventually have an easier time playing them.
I think I'll go with"Other", because fun is still the most important thing about mapping. (Why isn't fun an option in the poll anyway?)

because i want to see the song mapped, but voted for ranked since it's similar.
I map for fun, because I liked the song, or I think I'd make a fun map out of a certain song. I get them ranked because I want others to enjoy what I did.
I map songs I enjoy in a way I find them enjoyable. Since what I find fun is vastly different from what most people find fun, not to mention breaks tons of guidelines and even a few rules, I don't aim for ranking at all, but I still upload some of them in case some others might enjoy them too.

Other ....
uhhh I don't know. I actually just want to be able to play songs that I like since I cannot stand these "annoying anime voices of 8 year old girls that are actually 22 or chipmunk stuff >,<
That's why I mostly map. I also create them to have something at exactly my skill level.
I also map for my friends .... kind of.
But I am most motivated to map a song when I really love it. and I mean like really enjoying it. I see like a vision of what would feel nice in my opinion and i cannot stop mapping until I can express that vision as a map
I chose "Because i want to express myself artistically " now but it is a close call between "Other"

For fun o3o
playing osu! is fun and I try to increase the fun by mapping songs I like.
I picked "Other"... though I've dabbled in the "to get a ranked map of a song I like" and "to be known" reasons plenty, the ranking process is too long and bogged down with rules to be worth bothering with anymore. Nowadays I go for less glamourous versions of those goals... something like "because a map of this song needs to exist" or "to make something the small handful of people who play my maps would enjoy". Not gonna strike it big this way by any stretch, but at least I get to make my maps exactly how I want them to be. 
Because when I listen to a song I like, I imagine a map and I need to try and make. Basically because I enjoy the songs I map.
Choosed "other".
Choosed "other".
Chose other because it's just fun to map and try out new styles and see what I can do to make the next map even more fun
Well, after I began mapping I keep "mapping" songs in my head whenever I listen to music. A lot of times what I imagine seriously don't fit though, which is why I end up with 39484 unsubmitted maps with a whopping length of 0:10.
Generally though, I map because I like the song, and find mapping enjoyable. I'll try get maps ranked, but I don't really care either way (as shown by my graveyard), so I picked "other".

stress relief and its fun
"Other." When I push for a rank, I want to provide something that other maps don't have. I'm not saying that in an arrogant way, but I'm very particular about how shape and rhythm is used. I also want to try to get different types of music into the community. Not one of my mapped songs have been similar to each other nor to what's currently in vogue. I have three mapsets sitting around, which I'll probably try to rank around the summer. I have loads of ideas for maps otherwise, so I'll hopefully end up with a good workflow of maps.
I also like to make guest difficulties for people, so that I can help people by leading by example or simply giving them less work to do. Unfortunately, almost none of my efforts have been reciprocated by an earnest attempt to rank/complete something. It's a shame, because I tend to make them for good maps. All I want is a committed person, with a good style of mapping, to let me work with them and provide a set with a unique combination of styles.
DEEDIT: I suppose that I also map for e-penis. Luckily, it seems to have worked to an extent.

I chose "Other" since its a combination between "Because i want a Ranked map of a song i like" and "mapping is a fun thing"

It's hard as hell fun to make beatmaps and I just want to try it out how it sucks feels to make a beatmap of your own. 
I love the feeling when someone tells you "I know exactly what you were trying to do here" and they can explain it to me what I was doing. It makes me feel like I didn't waste the effort trying to make expressive ideas within my mapping.
So far there has been only two people who actually told me that they understood though, but that keeps me trying haha.

I choosed the first plus I like mapping. Even tho my style is still sucks as I was using my brain I alway got new ideas and that makes the whole mapping more fun to me.
Because I want to make something people will have fun with. Since I would have a hard time understanding what others find fun, I start with what I find fun. Creating an experience where the player feels like part of the song is a big part of that.

For fun mostly. And in some way, with my songs, to get known (but that's another part of it as it's my songs eh)
Other than that, it's also to let people discover more or less what are the songs we've listened to when we were younger etc. I am careful about what to submit!

I map because it makes fun and also sometimes I wish a Mapset from this or this Song (or mapping a personally better Mapset as the already ranked one). Also, I want to share my abilities in the Mapping Area and want to show how I feel the rhythm of the Song and how I would map it.

Mainly a way for me to make art. Let's be honest though, I was hoping for a bit of recognition from mapping. Oh the disappointment.
I'd only map songs that I liked. Unfortunately I never really got into it, I felt it took too much of my effort and time. I used to regularly hear music that I took a liking to and thought "I should map this shit it's brilliant". Subsequently I'd enter the editor a few days later, stick a background in, map the first minute or so of the song and then get bored and never come back to it.
I don't map. xDDDDDD
I map because I want to rank a song I like to hear!
Through determination I got this far eventually. No ranked map yet, but I'm almost there.

I map songs that I like in a style that I find fun. Seeing it through to ranking is a chore, but it makes the task that much,sweeter if you collaborate with some friends. Mapping meaningful themes is also pretty fun, though I know itll go unappreciated by most. I still enjoy pulling out my old maps from time to time (even all the old guest easies) as well, and it works as a nice gauge of how far I have progressed in mapping.

You know, I tried using tablet once during a show, but I can't seem to cursor around properly.

I have to ask about the last point. How often do you cringe at your old stuff? As I still haven't ranked my first proper attempt, going back to it is going to be a huge cringe fest.Garven wrote:

Sometimes it's a constant cringe. But you know what? I still have fond memories of making the difficulty and meeting/talking with all the people while trying to get it ranked, so I still enjoy it - ugliness and all.D33d wrote:

So why do I map?
I map because I love to do it, it makes fun and yeah xD and when I like the song I have to map it ^^
I feel the same way. I'm probably going to keep 'Windowlicker' as it is, because it's nice to look back at where I was and also to retain what was the result of lots of questions and criticism. Of course, if I could bring myself to add Charles' timings to every difficulty, then I'd actually get the ball rolling posthaste. Maybe even push for a rank again.Garven wrote:

That's probably another important reason for why I prefer to map, rather than play. It becomes more possible for me to share ideas and work with people and it puts me in a good position to help others quite thoroughly. I'm able to go through maps at my leisure and experiment with ideas, while also doing things which help my musicality. Learning to use a limited set of sounds with different patterns opens up a world of creative ideas and I love to map for that reason alone.
I have no ranked map, but I really love to map because of two points.
Firstly, I think that mapping is reaaaaally fun! Seeing the progress from the map is just so nice.
Secondly, I want to express myself artistically. Since I am a little perfectionist, I am mapping symmetrically like, all the time xD I try to make a map look good while (more or less) containing the flow.

I would pick two of those available options on the poll, I had to pick one of these two but whatever. These are:
Because i want to express myself artistically aaaaaand because i want a Ranked map of a song i like.
I map because it's very fun for me, I mostly use mapping as a way to express myself artistically like I do when I draw stuff. I also map to give players more "options" of songs when they want something different to play (with this I'm reffering that I map songs that nobody ranked. I like to introduce new stuff into osu! for everyone). That's pretty much it.

I map because... well, usually when I listen to the song, I can 'see' the notes mapped to it
And when I see it can be a good map, I usually try mapping it
Sometimes it's just for fun and nothing else (e.g. big money, rainbow tylenol)

I like watching replays of others playing my map, and that is why I map.

I'm quite happy to have ranked this map, then. Good to hear it's appreciated.BeatofIke wrote:
One day, I just decided to go to Youtube to watched random Touhou videos. Eventually, i ended up watching a fan-made touhou opening. I couldn't stop watching the video, because I love the video and the song so much XD. Therefore, I attempted to map this song (this time for ranking), since there was none at the time. About 2.5 months of hardship and 4 months of mapping experience, I finally managed to get my first map ranked!
Thanks again SapphireGhost! I feel proud!SapphireGhost wrote:

I map because my English is poor. 
So I started mapping to get to know how foreigners use English in reality. to study in the classes isn't enough at all
The fun parts of mapping in my opinion are about 3-4 things that I can conclude
1) get to know new friends , this helps me practice my English to communicate properly pretty much. lol
2) consult all about technical and subjective stuffs that people are inclined to do the same.
(All related about replying what fixes and non-fixes in my own maps/guest diffs)
3) map the song what I like, I can't map if I don't like the song in the first place. (I think almost everyone tends to think like this)
4) watch replay from test playing/score board to see how far people can go by using any additional mods.
I am fun to watch players play my maps. Even they like or hate, Just to see they play is enough for me.
so the purpose why I map is my English was bad, seems to make sense lol

I map because it is fun. Also picked the first choice. :3
it has come to my understanding lately that the true reason I map is that I'm a sadist who enjoys watching others suffer
that is, play my maps
that is, play my maps
Both for fun and for ranked :3
I want to share the music with others, enjoy it together.

Getting ranked will be good, and getting known as a good mapper is a dream i will realize.

I try to map songs I like that aren't ranked, get so far, and then just give up after a while :/ Part of me also wants to become known for mapping lol.
Perhaps one of these days I'll actually finish a map.

i don't like to be popular just because mapping, i just want my creation will make people happy.

I have mapped songs because I am sure there might be other people that like the same songs I like
I map songs for everyone not just myself
I want people to be able to enjoy their favorite songs

i map mainly for expression, and for the songs i love.
as of now, i'm mainly mapping one artist (though i guess im beginning to open up to other artists now). the artist uses themes which i appreciate, and i try to incorporate them into my mapping. for instance, their latest album laments on the practice of literary and musical plagiarism. i express this by looking at the famous maps when osu! gained popularity such as Highscore, a few modern maps, a few graveyard maps, and a few of my own maps. i copy ideas from those maps and blatantly copy then into the maps of the album.
i've done this two other times (one is a double-album with references of my own accross mapsets, and the other is a loosely selected set of beatmaps which try to relive my experience as a player by replicating styles from 2 years ago, but that last one is still pretty fresh with just one song on the list) but all of them are incomplete, because i cannot push myself.
this looks so self gratifying of a post hahah... if it comes across like that, nothing i can do to change your mind
anyway, that's my idea of expression. it's reliant on reference and context, so i doubt if all of them become appreciated, more so for the same reasons. also, i don't strictly implement this as i sound. i'd say it's an expression for mappers rather than for players. actually, maybe it's all just for myself.

I map, or at least attempt to map in Catch so that I can create something that other people could play and enjoy.
I think I'm actually close to finding that spark that makes me competent in mapping enough to get a Catch map ranked.

And because it's fun XD
Taiko player here. There are many motivations to map. You see, I like to map nutty maps for fun. Recently even, nutty maps because I want to know how strong players fare against them. Ranking a map might be a long term goal, but I'll stick to the firsts for starters.
But lately I came back to the game after like 3+ years and noticed something. That every type of maps existing today actually are pitch based. Pitch based drums? I don't think it works that way (in actuality it does work that way in a way), but thing is every other types are pretty much extinct. I don't really know what they are, but it felt so. Except for following the drums. Taiko is actually quite free imo, it's so free you can make it work even without following the song. There are so much things that works and you just need to make the consistency. From there, you can use the song as a reference and there are certain follow points that could be considered as 'the soul' of the song and it's not the vocal, nor the drums.
In reality though, pitch is king, and that's how the world agreed to map Taiko, or so I heard. It's a shame that the long history of Taiko-ing actually went down the drain pretty much. All that I said was sentiment based, but it rooted from this next statement. I felt that too many modern maps nowadays felt so very soulless. I'll be fair, I still relate to a very few maps mapped by certain mappers. If you're reading this, a Taiko hitting warrior, I'll tell you that since pitch is what it's all about. Maps has felt more balanced (diff wise), a lot are boring, and you're following the pitch. Not really representing the song.
Some people would say that I ignored the pitch, and respect to Jarvis for pointing out my mistakes and made good notes out of my map at some point. But know this. Pitch might be what's going on during the time, but sometimes there are something more significant and you're ignoring it. There's no real way to map Taiko and that, in my opinion is a just fact. Please engrave your soul into your maps. Everybody listens to the vocals, and some the drums too. But in reality, a song is way beyond those, and so is your own spirit.
Hence, this problem gave rise to my greatest motivation yet. I just want to make something fun and memorable.

Pitch might be what's going on during the time, but sometimes there are something more significant and you're ignoring it. There's no real way to map Taiko and that, in my opinion is a just fact. Please engrave your soul into your maps. Everybody listens to the vocals, and some the drums too. But in reality, a song is way beyond those, and so is your own spirit.
Hence, this problem gave rise to my greatest motivation yet. I just want to make something fun and memorable.
Because mapping is fun
