Huh? Whats the point? Can't you just PM a user outright if you want to arrange something? Its not like the people on that list are obliged to participate in any event. I guess having a glorified list could come in handy but tbh I don't see this as anything other than more work for everyone involved.

I could see this being a thing if like there was a restriction between messaging other countries, but pinning a whole nation on a few people seems redundant when any player can message any other player providing they arent silenced
I can see your point, but the problem is that not everyone knows who they can contact to organize something.

The point of the list is to allow any player to know which player he could contact to make something.

Because right know yeah, you can contact any player in the game, but finding a player that will be able to organize a match, a tournament, or any other event is not always easy. At least not for any player.

And also, for ambassadors, it will provide them with a list of active players in their country, that will allow them to see who could participate in an event they want to organize. I know you can just look at the performance ranks in your country, or something like that, but contacting every player one by one is really time wasting, and I think being able to have a list of active players ready to play at any time would be a must have.

You do have a good point, my apologies if my reply sounded harsh.

Good luck getting this up and running!

No problem, my post may be a bit unclear, I'll try to change things a bit later, to see if I can make it easier to understand :)

A bit of update.

I added a part explaining what an ambassador's job is, since some people wanted to have more clarification about this.

Also, I added it in the post, but we're currently making a website. I'll say more about it when we have things ready.
IamBaum
Oh u are even preparing a website? I'm looking forward to see it :D

Put me down for Australia too.
(I guess.)

I'll be down for Australia and standard / taiko if you'd like. Whichever you need.
Edit: Kind of stopped being very active on standard as of today.

Before people get elected into this i think there should be some sort of verification that 1: they actually have contact with the majority of the active players in their country and 2: that majority wanted them to represent them. It doesn't seem like there's anything to stop some random people just registering for something they have no capability to do.

I think for now we can put anyone as ambassador, because there is four slots and they're not yet filled.

But if one day these four slots are filled, then it would be better to see with the other ambassadors and the other players if they're okay, and maybe replace one ambassador with another more active.

Also, being ambassador may make them meet another players of their country, so in the end they won't be "random people" ;)

Hmm, this isn't such a bad idea

Although I would like to join for CTB, there's no way I would have additional time :c

This is an amazing idea : 3
Looking forward to the site

Like I said in the OP, being an ambassador doesn't add you obligations or anything.

You'll just receive a bit more pm, because your name will be in the ambassadors public list.

And if you have time, you'll be able to edit the user list of your country, but you're not forced to do so (As long as there's one ambassador to make it, that's fine. Though that's better if all the ambassadors work together).

I added all the persons asking to be ambassadors, but I'll need your email adress (Send it to me by pm) if you want to edit the user list of your country on the doc (Again, you're not forced to do so) :)

First event : Argentina vs France the 20th December at 20H UTC.

Each country has 2 teams, one with no rank limit, one with #1500 limit
- 4v4 in standard mode, 2 bans per team, and 2 switches allowed between maps.
- BO9
- mappool for no limit teams => NA tournament semi-final mappool (http://puu.sh/dmMPD/6e4d1a41ae.png)
- mappool for #1500 limit teams => RO16 OWC2014 mappool (https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/Osu!_World_Cup_2014)
Next event will be with homemade mappools.

Unfortunately, it will be stream only in French at twitch.tv/sorega and in Spanish at twitch.tv/juankristal

For the next events, if anyone is interested to shoutcast in English, just mp me.

Good initiative.
I would like to be an embassador for osu standard-chile.

Also, the spreadsheet should only be able to be edited by embassadors, not anyone.

As for the google doc, it's currently editable only by the ambassadors, but well, it seems like they had a bit of fun :3

But well, I think I can make this public, the website is now up and available. Some things are not totally finished, but it's working, and you can check the list on there from now on.

I'll update the opening post asap, and for now I'll give you the link here :

osu!Ambassadors website

Hope it will be useful !

(Oh and if you manage to find a bug, a hole or something like this, please report it to me)

Edit :

Alright, updated the first post, if you need some informations, it's probably there, and if not, please report it so I can fix it :)
xasuma
I can edit the doc. and I am not embassador. (or wasnt )

With the website going up, the spreadsheet is obsolete then?

Well, seems like there's a bug with the spreadsheet then.

But yeah, it's obsolete now, everything will be made on the website. We're keeping the spreadsheet for now, to have some backup data, but we'll move everything to the website later on.

And you've been added as an ambassador. If you want an account to be able to edit your country player list, I'll need the informations I asked on the first post :)
IamBaum
Ahh nice to see that the Website is already in progress.
I'd already like to register there, but i guess we have to wait some longer before it's possible :)

As I said, since you're an ambassador, you can ask us to create an account for you.

We've just disabled public registering, since we don't want to fill the database with useless user accounts, which are useful only to the ambassadors.

But if you're an ambassador, just ask us for an account. We just need some informations that I listed in the first post :)

Finally, no spanish or french stream tonight. I just can't have any reply by the lovely tournament manager.

So if you want any answer for the question "why they don't respond when they have only 3 clicks to do and gain free promotion and people entertainment ?", just ask them and after mp me.

We thought of the forum, but right now we don't think it would be really necessary, since there is the osu! forum. That will make things a bit redundant.

But well, I just implemented a news system on the website, to make annoucements directly on it. It also have a Disqus comments system.

Feel free to check things regularly and don't hesitate to post comments :)

Question.

I added someone in the wrong mode. Then I delete him from that mode, to re-add him in the correct mode.
But when I try to add him I get this. http://puu.sh/dR9OV/c0225b0623.png

That's because the player already exists in the database. So instead of trying to create a new player, you need to select this player from the dropdown list

Hi
Raiku
I could represent the UK, probably along with someone like Jesus1412 since we are both extremely active community members, have many ties with top mappers/players from other countries who also have similar influence. We both livestream and both have commentated the Osu World Cup.

Give us a shout!

This sounds like a great idea and i would like to be the ambassador for the US Standard if i can. Communicating with players for events sounds like a great way to push the competitive side of things. both i really love to do and this looks like the best place to do it

Every countries are part of the project. If your country is not on the website, it just means there isn't anyone from your country in the project yet. But we just have to add it :P
