Should ET maps (like Thanatos, Little Hearts, unlimited spark) be allowed for ranking?

I agree with Xcrypt about the definition of "overmapping".

Lots of general rules weren't taken into account when o!m came out, I think it's time for us (aknowledgeable o!m community) to rework some of these. I'm willing (we are all willing) to discuss these, so what about we create a new thread made for RC discussion, talking about one problenatic RC at a time to avoid confusion, and submit a rule change/new rule once we've reached an agreement (and without straight denying them because someone of higher authority said it sucks so it must not be implemented even though they have no clue what they are talking about. I want to hear people's true opinions. Not some ready made ideas which aren't even true in the slightest to begin with.)

On a side note, care to explain what "technical mapping" is ? x_x

I just meant it as in someone who spends a lot of time thinking about the structure of the map etc, not just throwing stuff in there because you like a certain pattern or because you feel like it.

Oh ok I thought you were referring to a certain mapping style or something (asked Specter as well lol). So basically mappers who know what they're doing.

Well, I said "I define" but I could freely say "We define" because it's a common definition in std, as you said. In fact, I agree with your definition too, Xcrypt. My definition is surely incomplete and I think we can discuss about these things in a new RC topic (ask Loctav for being more sure, I only THINK you can :/ )
And, again, we allow hard/ET/extralunatic maps as long as they fit. As you can see, there are some ET maps ranked, like Thunderbolt or Akasha, no BATs complained about them.

They make up excuses in order to call that map overmapped, just because they feel like it's too hard.
Never happened this. This would be ridicolous.

Either way, I hope you don't see this as an offense but maybe a way to rethink the definition of 'overmapped' in mania.
Don't worry. I know you are not here for offending anyone, we are only discussing.

Thanks for the reply.
If you agree with my definition, could you please give the ghost diff by agka another look? I've checked it in editor myself a couple times, all notes make sense to me. At 100% speed, there's a few notes that do not make sense to me because it is too hard for me to follow properly (those are the hardest two sections with fast big chords) but when I look at them at 50% speed I can clearly see that nearly every chord/note is mapped to a sound that makes sense.
If you disagree would be nice to know exactly why.

Yes that's true, some hard/ET maps are ranked, and I feel like it's going in the right direction, but I also feel like there's still a lot of huss fuss. A lot of good hard maps are denied as well, more than good hard maps are ranked. I also think that this also gave the community like a feeling that they shouldn't bother even trying to rank harder maps because 95% of the time it will get denied anyway.

I think it's not the right place for talking about, we can have an IRC chat about this.

I never saw hard maps denied unless they were overmapped.

Here's a question.

What if that overmapped diff can easily be tackled/pass by those advanced/ET players? Doesn't it make them rankable for it?
As I said above, it's a fact of game rules, not of difficulty.
Could you link me to the rules so that I can understand(?) it better, perhaps?
dionzz99
bump this..

*Thumbs up* holy moly..

EDIT:
if ETozer's map ranked:
1. Scoreboard is only a few.like ET person only
2. even if other player join the scoreboard. probably NF,EZ, or HT.
3. few S by ET,much B,C,or D by us who are noob ;w;
4. people may download but didn't play it (just a souvenir lol)
5. the map may give +1000pp if around 99% or something
6. some other possibility that i never thought....

Still, mania BATs are decreasing though. :P

Redxas has been studying for quite a while, Shi-Ra wants to quit, and PROGUY just can't handle everything by himself. O!m really needs a few new mania BATs to keep the ranking process going smoothly. D:

/me pokes BATmanager
Entozer
Objectively speaking, Mania is harder to mod than standard. Maybe it's possible to tone down the rc? Or broaden the team that manages mania maps. Assign someone to handle specific aspect of the map. Have someone check the patterns, have someone check the hitsound, have someone check the consistency of the diff, have someone check the relevance of the notes, etc etc.

I'm pretty sure Entozer doesn't want to be bat again due to his experience of being a bat.

I always wonder where you pull this bullshit from.

This thread started to be stupid, because if you want harder maps, map them - but map them reasonable.
