What would you call yourself?
Total votes: 274
Polling ended
I started of as a player (well, rank #15 at one point sort of speaks for itself), but with less time to play this year I've mainly been contributing to the feature suggestion and BAT/Global mod forum, plus some chat issues.
Mainly a player, I'd map or mod but I don't have the patience and quite frankly there are better people out there for the job.
Also somewhat here for the community, but honestly it feels like the community has been degrading recently. At least in the areas I frequent.

I'm a spade. For those who don't know what that means:
I suck at playing most video games, but I'm usually a lot more knowledgeable and involved in a game's world than just playing it. When I say "world", I don't mean on a fictional level only - I also mean how the game works as a program, but the lore and backstory of a game are also very important to me. Probably explains why I like mapping (when I have the time) and storyboarding, but not so much playing.
That, and all I have is a laptop. Which can barely run osu! at 30fps a lot of the time.

Voted #2. I'm a decent player and I mod on occasion never had a fond talent of mapping though and I don't see myself contributing much at all actually. ehehe
Moderator extraordinaire.
Maybe.
Edit: Also, I made LadySuburu great. All me. Sort of.

#3. I play and map/mod the same. However, I don't think I would be in osu for this long if the community wasn't good. (In #osu and #mod or a few threads, not all of them)
Currently for me, I'd say I do about 45% playing, 45% modding, and the rest is mapping (or attempting to). Of course, this doesn't factor in all of the time I spend here on the forums. 
EDIT: But in the future, I'd like it to even out to 1/3 each. <3

map modder now. we always got pending maps to take a look.

I see myself as a Beat-clicker, I've tried mapping in the past (See my one map that I attempted) but it's just not for me, I don't got the patience or the talent to make successful maps, so I'll leave that to people who can.
I've also attempted to be part of the community and help around the forums, but I just can't commit to too much at one time, and since I have troubles continuing to be active for long periods of time, I just dropped of the face of the earth and stuck to playing osu! and occasionally sitting in chat.

So far it's about what I expected - a very even 50/50 split . Will be interesting to see if it keeps going that way.

I'm glad there's so many things to do on osu!, so I chose 3. Of course as usual, I've started by just playing and having fun and making friends. Until I discovered that Taiko is very great as well.
But I started to be amazed at the quality of some maps and decided to practice making my own things, which is going great thanks to everyone's help getting me better at this. By using the forums I've made a couple of friends just by modding around and finding great things in the Random Forum.
I hope I do get active around more little by little, getting to know you guys better, rather than just business modding.

I play for fun, I mapped few songs, some never completed, its kinda fun and kinda helped me play better like thinking what the mapper is thinking. Not much of my maps were modded properly, made few skins, I think people liked some.
Is there an "All of the Above" option?
I mean, first and foremost, I play. Beyond that I am a (lazy) BAT, I make a few (cruddy) maps, I have 2 (incomplete) skins, and sometimes I even spend time doing nothing but talk on IRC. Not to mention I'm working at getting the first official osu! tournament underway (though there's still nothing else I can do to further this at this time...), and also play a big part in organizing maps for monthly rankings.
Huh... good thing I excel in 1 area..... I'd be pretty pathetic otherwise

I like doing constructive stuff.
BAT duties obviously, mapping occasionally, playing from time to time, sparsely doing Support Team work and generally hanging around in #osu and #mod with all the cool people there.

I'm here for the music so I play, mod, and map, but don't really do anything else.
I enjoy mapping and modding the most so I guess option 2 suits me.

I'm more like beat clicker.
Hidden sucks my modding time. I can't moderate my playing desire.
I would hit for #1 position if I have enough time......
Uhh well but I want to maintain my BAT color RED/ORANGE
And mapping? lol To make beatmap "ranked" is as hard as FL+HD+HR+DT
I would make maps if I have enough slots...... Everybody mod my map plz

I was trying few times to start mapping, but I just cannot make it through the beginning - how to do what... but who knows - maybe I'll learn how to map one day ^_^ for now, just player
Chose the first option, even though I do have interest in making maps. It's just that... I can't dedicate myself enough. I'll probably try it again, especially now that I have some ideas on maps to make... ah. Better stop being lazy already.
I need to play more :/
I usually just mod and map right now.
I picked second option

I picked second option
50%play, 40%mapping, 10% skinning.
skinning is only for personal use skin though

3 - mod/map/play
I both play and map/mod. I lean towards the play side more though, but i still do both nonetheless, so option 3
I play, map, mod and skin, and am learning to storyboard.
Speaking of which I should finish my current WIP skin

I guess I'd have to say option four. I tie option two, modding and mapping, into skinning quite often, so two is a close second. Pretty much every map I make I look to skin or SB or something visually, and take on graphical work per request often enough. I only play enough to hold my rank really.
I'm a player, but I want to start to mod some map, I like help people :3
Bye
Bye
So I chose third category. I mainly play the game, but i like to help people with beatmaps, hang around editor etc. also i like to chat. On #osu there are a lot of cool people. And that makes osu! so awesome 
also i like to chat. On #osu there are a lot of cool people. And that makes osu! so awesome i'd be in the 3rd group..mapper and player..even thou i still suck compared to most people. practise makes perfect thou
i guess im a little of everything except skinner/coder. i mod/map every now and then, i play ofcourse. i love creating and hosting events like tournaments for example, then again it's a little difficult to come up with different ideas for events ^^
I'm between option 2 and 3... but i ll go for 3, cuz i still play maps that i like, mostly in multiplayer.
I'm a mapper/modder. I only play to test and mod maps.
'Cause I suck at playing insane maps
I really can't decide between playing and mapping.. do both about the same.
but I can be a tester too XD...
When I first joined, my only interest was mapping (didn't even knew about modding yet). The result was "Party Night" OH GOD
I started playing osu! later and I eventually became more skilled at it, and I still have interest for modding and mapping so I guess I fit for option 3.

At the beginning I was good at playing maps, and created a few records before I decided to quit playing and become a fulltime mapper. I rarely played since July, so I suck at playing osu now
I'd say I can't really decide between both.
I used to be a beat clicker, haven't been doing so much lately with these new set of good players, so I tend to map/mod more. But when I'm tired with mapping, I sometimes play for fun :)

3rd option for me too, I don't play alot lately though ;(
I'm a mapper and sort of a modder. I do just have osu! open for irc a lot though.
I am here for the community but I do love the gaming!!

Right now, I would say the second... hardly play anymore, and don't really do much else.
Mapping and modding. I had some more interest in playing a year ago or so, but now I have way more fun mapping =P

For this and future reference for these polls; can our individual votes be seen by anyone? And if so whom? I mean I know we can see total votes on A and B, but could you see that I, Pokebis, voted A and say, awp, voted B?
I'm a mapper/player, but actually there are different ways of playing maps imo. If playing means playing for score, I'm just a mapper who plays some few maps.
I used to play a LOT multiplayer, but I'm a bit short of time now :<

Pretty much player-only these days. I play both single and multiplayer (mostly tag coop).
There was a time when I dabbled in mapping, but the process of getting it perfected and ranked kind of turned me off from ever attempting it again. Any maps I make these days lie unfinished on my hard drive. I might submit another map someday, we'll see.

I play for fun. Screw rank, for the most part.
I have a few projects like "fuck - you" and osq2osb which are SB-related. Sometimes when I look at #mod someone is in need of a storyboard, so I help them with that.
I'm on the support team. Woo!
I playtest maps for people if they ask. I think playtesting (with the mapper spectating) with a few comments afterwards is the most effective form of modding.
The community is great and I ... support it quite a bit, if you can call it that. =]
Distributions? 35% playing, 30% community, 20% storyboarding/coding, 10% support, 5% modding.

I'm pretty much on IRC the whole time; I only play the latest ranked maps and even then most of those are really boring so I'd say the last option since all I do is sit in chat and talk.
Well, if the stupidity level of the chat isn't too high.

I'm a demon without computer access for one more week! At that point a new hard drive will indeed arrive. Hazaa
Seeing as I am a BAT with little spare time in osu!, I am naturally a map/modder... more of strictly a modder though. XD XD
I map occasionally but still play. Not really a community person.

I was hoping there would be one like "Plays a lot, maps sometimes", cause that would be me
I'm a beat clicker, but sometimes (once every 3 months or so) I try to make a map just to see if it turns out good. But the maps always end up graveyarded because I get bored after making one difficulty, and they're not that good either. So I chose the first option because I do it the most.
For sure, I'm a mapper, sometimes playing, but mapping most of the time.
Modding? not a lot. but modding.

I figure since I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask, rather than waiting a week to add the next poll, I will roll over when the poll hits 500 votes, or a week (whichever comes first). Not sure if we'll hit 500 that fast this time, but hopefully it'll catch on. If you have any friends which haven't yet voted, please get them to .
.well... to be honest, i'm just a beat-clicker
but i want to create my own beatmap... my 1st beatmap... but i feel that to create a beatmap is very very hard and you need to be very patient for a modder, and later a BAT to bubble it, and later another BAT to ranked it...
or only i'm not good in editor :p i found it kinda complicated
i have more than the year in osu and i swear to have at less one beatmap ranked xD

I voted 3.
A few months ago I started mapping and I'm really "addicted" to it (now I have 3 ranked maps so I think I'm doing it right ), so now i'm addicted to everything in this game! D:

On a related note the options themselves are rather uncompromising:
Sideconditions like "I'm a beat-clicker. No interest in making maps" create a specific tendency and leaves out subtle cases like "created a beatmap but is primarily a player".
That would probably confuse voters.

Because I usually modding/mapper and playing.....

2 years later, necrobump...
my old laptop broke so i don't play as much osu! and I only get to play it 3 times a week when I get to go to my grandparents house. There are laptops and computers at my school and you can play osu! on them but if a teacher finds you playing games on a computer your school email will get termintated (harsh right?). What I do now is go onto the osu forums whenever I can at school and tha's pretty much it. I love the forums so I just hang around here most of the time.
4 years necrobump.
