I volunteer.

Though it'd be a pity because I have to post the map lists.

This is more of a heads up to not provoke ephemeral. You know better. Be better than the ones you're trying to get here.
Ephemeral
A very fair point, Gladi. I would be inclined to agree if 17 pages and numerous attempts from dozens of other people had succeeded at all, but alas, it has not, and now I am here.

Moral superiority is not the goal here, it is to keep this thread ordered and pointed towards a specific purpose beyond simply shittalking staff members for trying to make the game better for everyone else.

Thank you Ephemeral, you are much appreciated.

SPOILER
Belgium's roster is not yet listed on the wiki so I had no reason to join the drama anyway

I have a question about the group stage:
Group Stage 8-9 Nov 2014
Does this imply there will be no matches on friday?
I'd like to know so I can postpone my friday activities if necessary.
manjumochi
Go Brasil! (And Japan, if Brazil can't play or be eliminated).

SPOILER
At least I can support for some countrys, I hope. (Or this is prohibited, too?)

PS: looks like my posts on this thread were shitposts, I'm sorry (I was believing that was good ideas, but they were considered shit, as almost I ever do in life :cry: ).

Sorry for being late in the thread. But indeed we need to learn how to make available discussions here, rather than just showing bad feelings, flaming, baiting. ( For example I know we have fun in copying posts in Chinese community, I know we have no bad intention such as insulting or something else. But this is not an appropriate attitude for discussing, that is only for talking some thing not too serious.) These will do no good for the game.
Just saying that we need to adjust our attitude towards discussion. For Chinese speakers, if you get trouble in communicating in English, I'd like to be your translator. Better than Baidu or Google. (Translation of the last sentence: 如果有正式的讨论性质的东西,而英文交流又吃力的话,可以找我当中英翻译,比翻译机稍微强一点)
Wishy
With all due respect, "serious and appropriate" discussions already took place several times but it just doesn't work, there is reason shitstorms happen, it's not that everyone's out to get you and troll you but that there is an actual problem.

Point has been made anyways so let's see what management does/say about this, which according to what we already experienced is gonna be nothing, so let's drop it already and wait.

And I have to tell everyone what Ephemeral says is right, OWC has always been managed this way for years and there are no "special rules" coming up right now, they were used before but not written down on the corresponding wiki, kind of extra official, but nothing's changed and this OWC is just like every other.

Also peppy said something about allowing crowd funding. Actually it doesn't make sense in the current state of affairs, but if anything, I'd like to see it being more uhhh, accessible?

Is he afraid of another accidental showing of NSFW Babe as it happened on CWC? Afraid of DDoS/other issues that might ruin the show?

it would be cool if we'd be able to buy an owc compendium. predicting the outcome of matches and predicting which map will be picked/banned the most etc. is really fun if you can easily compare the predictions with other players having such a compendium.

osu! is a game that works kind of in a gray zone, since it is based on illegal content.

Still nothing about our case is resolved and it doesn't look like it even will be till like the beginning of the next owc... how nice from our dear administration who cares and thoroughly inspects every possible case in "breaking the rule part"... peppy also disappeared somewhere after i said to him exact person who has done nothing against the rules... great...

well, good luck to everyone who can participate and is still want to compete with i guess decent players, but clearly not the best :/

Hey everybody.

I stepped out of this entire discussion, because it was nowhere my call to make what regulations apply in this kind of topic. Let's say that I - for myself - want to stay neutral here and I will consider for myself all your brought-up arguments in order to improve the further registration regulations for future world cups, starting with the next upcoming Taiko World Cup 2015 in February.

Please understand that we can not change the regulation at this point for the OWC 2014 anymore, due to the organizational strains and restrictions, especially when you consider that there are not only 1 world cup but 4 world cups per year (and I also need my few weeks to breathe inbetween).

Be assured that I, for myself, have recognized your concerns, hence why I tried to discuss with some of you to make my point clear. We accept your opinion on that and will consider your point of views in future regulations.

For this OWC, unfortunately, the things are as they are now. Please keep in mind that I can not guarantee that the regulations will be any enlightened anywhere. As a future recommendation, I want to say that everyone should stop multiaccounting, cheating or account sharing at instant - to avoid future hassle. Always try to understand that I am also not willed to let people join the tournament I am working on for months over months, while they are blatantly violate the rules and cause me even more extra work. You might consider this as unfair or not impactful enough for this tournament.

Always keep in mind: Imagine how it would be if the participants of your own tournament try to boss you around about what is right and what is wrong. This is your tournament after all, so you make the rules. You are not forcing anyone to join.
I am well aware that the OWC is an event everyone anticipates for, I am well aware that you want to compete against the top of the top, hence I want that too. I want to make this awesome for everyone.

But I have this simple, very simple requirement to make you join: Stop making me and my comrades here extra work by breaking the rules. You are making us trouble on many other fields, independent from this tournament. If you are making me trouble, I do not give you the opportunity to join the events to make your e-penis grow any further, WHILE you are basically making a fool out of me and my comrades. I hope you understand that point.

Anyways, we try to stay neutral here, on all judgements we fell, on all cases that were rejected. I was sorta stunned seeing this happening, but I can not help if the top players are not interested in obeying the rules - and therefore forfeiting their privilege to join the tournament I and my co-hosters work almost 40h a week on. Please RESPECT my and their work. And in order to respect that: Stop breaking the rules.

Moreover, it is not my fault that you fail to read a rule set. When you sign up, you agree to the tournament rules, so I can await that you read everything again and again before signing up. Whoever doesn't has no right to complain retrospectively.

Try to understand my position in specific. I want to bring you the biggest experience ever, so stop being so selfish and understand why I am not willed to let people being disrespectful upon me to join a tournament I am basically hosting (apart of all origin, cheers to lesslunatic and fartownik for the initial work in hosting this)

To bring this entire discussion to an end, I have splitted away the posts for this, storing them in a good place so I can furtherly revise them to improve this tournament for you. Your word has been heard, your warning has been sent. But now, I want to reopen this topic in order to make people discuss the schedules, the mappools and the drawings. Let's have a good OWC, anyways. Put your grunge away and let's enjoy this, because that's what I want to.

In order to clarify: I won't refrain from furtherly remove any discussion about the above addressed topic in order to make the topic focus on what it should focus for now. This is mostly because this topic leads to nowhere for now and we won't find any compromise here in a decent manner. I hope you do not consider this as censorship, but mostly as a regulative measurement to give the map selectors and the playing teams the opportunity to actually discuss the tournament self

Unlocked. Keep this on line.

I don't want to immediately kick off the unlocked thread with an argument but I have a suggestion to make. Lewa brought up a point on ask.fm which I haven't seen mentioned before, link here: http://ask.fm/thelewa/answer/119270679030. Basically, the wording of the rules appears to be very ambiguous and subject to different interpretations. Perhaps future rules (and/or the current rules) can be made more clear and concrete to help prevent future arguments surrounding them?

We will surely reword this. It might be misleading and not cut clean enough, so I will look into this to reword the article and the ruleset to make clear what we allow and what we do not allow.

Happy osu! Official Tournament #1

I'd really fancy discussing about mappools and schedules, but I can't see them yet. I was sure the mappools were to be released 7 days before the match, not 6. Please guys, there is nothing wrong with posting new mappool when there are still matches going on.

Last year it was map pickers' fault for being lazy bums, but this time the pools seem to be done beforehand so take advantage if it.

Whatever the scheduling will be, saying this in advance.

We would really appreciate having two matches on Saturday.

I think I always released them on Sunday, for years now. I am on it, tho, should be up in a few mins. (the mappool, schedule needs a bit)
Melt3dCheeze
Do you think you (Loctav) and the osu! staff are willing enough to publicise what you guys did to solve this issue of "BOYCOTT OWC" after this tournament is over? It's best to know what actually happened rather than us being in the dark. You'll reinforce positive ideas by actually telling us the process, rather than having an image where we depict the osu!staff as lacking confidence and showing inconsistencies in their decisions.

Loctav, I thank you for listening to other's opinions and take them into consideration.
I really do hope that the staffs can consider a preliminary round for all the countries, each has a seed number and will have an easier time through the preliminaries. That way, more country can have the chance to participate. It's down on execution anyway, as ranking doesn't mean anything in multiplayer.
Let's hope for a successful OWC! :D

Just a piece of advice for commentators.


While Yoiduki Mayuta's DU is acceptable in transcription (It's because the Japanese using roomaji input type DU to make syllable づ appear), it is a voiced TSU sound, something you would pronounce DZU, not DU. There is no DU sound in standard Japanese.


I'm pretty sure the japanese titles and names will be pronounced in terrible manner, but I just hope you avoid doing basic mistakes. (like pronouncing my name as Hamachi or sth - happened last year)

Just a little thing that I want to suggest, do not leave this for later, it may not affect this tournament but the problems are on the table right now. Remember that this happened on the CWC 2014 too. I could add some points on the discussion itself if you want to handle with this problem now.
Nwolf
I love how people still think that boycotting can only be understood as "making the tournament better"


But please, just stop this discussion. Because it is fun for spectators to watch, no matter you like it or not. It is fun for more than half of the teams participating so the problem is probably in the whiny teams.

Isn't it usually romanized as "zu?"

I'd be impressed if the commentators learned some Japanese phonetics. Wouldn't take too long to look up the IPA for Japanese and learn the proper production.

That wasn't my question. It's a different zu. I'd never heard of づ being romanized as du before.

I found DZU more appropriate than ZU for the commentators to understand, that's all. This is because zu alone would point at "Z" sound being a fricative. Whenever I hear the Japanese speak zu, I can feel some kind of plosion, this is why I used DZU for commentators to articulate the sound in the best manner possible.

as to DU, if you want to use IME as to type for example 片付ける, you are to type du on your keyboard for the correct zu syllable (unless your IME is very intelligent as to correct you).

You should really read this thread before asking weird questions.

Stop asking then.

I don't know why you're being so hostile. I'm literally just curious as to why some of these players aren't allowed to play. Nothing more, nothing less.

The stream schedule? The match schedule is on the wiki.

Since some matches overlap each other, I guess only the chosen one will be streamed (like last year).


And last year the match schedule included a note whether a given match was gonna be streamed or not.

When will the rosters be updated? I heard there were some last minute changes for some teams.

I want to see Brazil vs Japan but at the same time we have South Korea vs Germany... (Both of them will be great games, I believe).
Would be nice if we have option to see (or at least on other time) some replays.

Don't we get VODs? Although I agree it's different from watching it live..

It would be cool to have another channel streaming as well, but the streamer availability would have to be pretty higher than it is right now
