What's a gimmick map? Can we have some more context?

It's not like a "weird" map out of 1000 thousand maps really makes a difference. This is both special and playable, so why not?Arrival wrote:

This is clearly, obviously, undeniably, NOT FOR RANKING. Or well, you could rank Blue Dragon's BIG MONEY BIG PRICES or all the CRN AR10 at this point.
I understand that for the need of the mapping contest everyone has made something special, and the map in itself is not "bad", but you CAN'T make an objective rank on it. Seriously, why do you want to rank something like this ? Just put it on spotlight or something... This makes no sense at all.
If all "special and playable" maps should be ranked, I think the game would be kinda apocalyptic right ?Leader wrote:

It probably isn't, since Approval is made for crazy maps like this.Arrival wrote:

I don't see what's unfair about this - First of all, if some map from an unknown mapper had won, it would be ranked now instead. Secondly, it's not unfair that this can get ranked while other similar maps can't, since it is a reward for winning the contest.Arrival wrote:

An APPROVED map shouldn't be just "playable", It should be GOOD, to get approved. I mean it's just one difficulty. This map is playable, yes, but it's not GOOD, sorry. (Or well, if so we should change something in the ranking system).
I just don't understand why, just because it's the Beatmapping contest, this map should be approved. And the pp-gain is, imo, not an excuse. Then let's rank all the """""special"""" maps no ?
I'm not against spotlight this map, but definetly not putting it in a rank system.
PS : I'm not hating the map, I just think it's unfair for other players who make.... "stuff" like this but get spit on because they are unknown or whatever.
This map good, but break rule about only 5+ minutes approved maps (2014 rule) is bad for system.Arrival wrote:

i'm re reading this - and this is no reason to rank this map, change rule about 5 minutes, and rank after, if you break rule -> rules == s**t.Stefan wrote:

I highly suggest reading this and to re-think about this.
That's what I wanted to hear.KRZY wrote:
I think I understand why this was approved, but it might be a good idea to clarify that this map was approved as a one-time exception for a specific purpose different from ranking normal mapsets, that the approval of this map does not guarantee maps with similar patterns will get approved, and that there will/won't be more of these "one-time exceptions" depending on whether there actually will be or not.
Then I feel sorry for you. Complaining about this won't help too.randomizer89 wrote:

Well that actually doesn't work. Exceptions like this actually disprove rules, as in "if that map was approved why can't mine be approved too?". Especially when the mapper is a BAT, you could argue it's all favoritism.KRZY wrote:
