Why do you map?
Total votes: 161
Polling ended
I chose "Other" since its a combination between "Because i want a Ranked map of a song i like" and "mapping is a fun thing"

It's hard as hell fun to make beatmaps and I just want to try it out how it sucks feels to make a beatmap of your own. 
I love the feeling when someone tells you "I know exactly what you were trying to do here" and they can explain it to me what I was doing. It makes me feel like I didn't waste the effort trying to make expressive ideas within my mapping.
So far there has been only two people who actually told me that they understood though, but that keeps me trying haha.

I choosed the first plus I like mapping. Even tho my style is still sucks as I was using my brain I alway got new ideas and that makes the whole mapping more fun to me.
Because I want to make something people will have fun with. Since I would have a hard time understanding what others find fun, I start with what I find fun. Creating an experience where the player feels like part of the song is a big part of that.
Other.
I want to attract the bitches with my mapping skills. They just love sliders.

I map cause...
It's fun.
It's fun.
For fun mostly. And in some way, with my songs, to get known (but that's another part of it as it's my songs eh)
Other than that, it's also to let people discover more or less what are the songs we've listened to when we were younger etc. I am careful about what to submit!

For sharing my mapping skill~

I map because it makes fun and also sometimes I wish a Mapset from this or this Song (or mapping a personally better Mapset as the already ranked one). Also, I want to share my abilities in the Mapping Area and want to show how I feel the rhythm of the Song and how I would map it.

I'd only map songs that I liked. Unfortunately I never really got into it, I felt it took too much of my effort and time. I used to regularly hear music that I took a liking to and thought "I should map this shit it's brilliant". Subsequently I'd enter the editor a few days later, stick a background in, map the first minute or so of the song and then get bored and never come back to it.
I don't map. xDDDDDD
I map because I want to rank a song I like to hear!
Through determination I got this far eventually. No ranked map yet, but I'm almost there.

A plus on that as well :3mm201 wrote:

I like to try and find the rhythm of songs and form a map out of it
For fun

All of you should buy a tablet.
I already have one, it doesn't help much o3o [/offtopic]Andrea wrote:

I map songs that I like in a style that I find fun. Seeing it through to ranking is a chore, but it makes the task that much,sweeter if you collaborate with some friends. Mapping meaningful themes is also pretty fun, though I know itll go unappreciated by most. I still enjoy pulling out my old maps from time to time (even all the old guest easies) as well, and it works as a nice gauge of how far I have progressed in mapping.
It takes time to get used to tablet as wellAndrea wrote:

You know, I tried using tablet once during a show, but I can't seem to cursor around properly.
Buy Tablet ≠ Become pro!
I have to ask about the last point. How often do you cringe at your old stuff? As I still haven't ranked my first proper attempt, going back to it is going to be a huge cringe fest.Garven wrote:

Please don't turn this into a mouse vs tablet discussion, thanks 
Sometimes it's a constant cringe. But you know what? I still have fond memories of making the difficulty and meeting/talking with all the people while trying to get it ranked, so I still enjoy it - ugliness and all.D33d wrote:

So why do I map?
I map because I love to do it, it makes fun and yeah xD and when I like the song I have to map it ^^
I feel the same way. I'm probably going to keep 'Windowlicker' as it is, because it's nice to look back at where I was and also to retain what was the result of lots of questions and criticism. Of course, if I could bring myself to add Charles' timings to every difficulty, then I'd actually get the ball rolling posthaste. Maybe even push for a rank again.Garven wrote:

That's probably another important reason for why I prefer to map, rather than play. It becomes more possible for me to share ideas and work with people and it puts me in a good position to help others quite thoroughly. I'm able to go through maps at my leisure and experiment with ideas, while also doing things which help my musicality. Learning to use a limited set of sounds with different patterns opens up a world of creative ideas and I love to map for that reason alone.
I have no ranked map, but I really love to map because of two points.
Firstly, I think that mapping is reaaaaally fun! Seeing the progress from the map is just so nice.
Secondly, I want to express myself artistically. Since I am a little perfectionist, I am mapping symmetrically like, all the time xD I try to make a map look good while (more or less) containing the flow.

I would pick two of those available options on the poll, I had to pick one of these two but whatever. These are:
Because i want to express myself artistically aaaaaand because i want a Ranked map of a song i like.
I map because it's very fun for me, I mostly use mapping as a way to express myself artistically like I do when I draw stuff. I also map to give players more "options" of songs when they want something different to play (with this I'm reffering that I map songs that nobody ranked. I like to introduce new stuff into osu! for everyone). That's pretty much it.

I map because... well, usually when I listen to the song, I can 'see' the notes mapped to it
And when I see it can be a good map, I usually try mapping it
Sometimes it's just for fun and nothing else (e.g. big money, rainbow tylenol)

I like watching replays of others playing my map, and that is why I map.
Though, I don't know why I star----- oh right, one of my older friend made me to.

Mapping is fun, and it become even better when you see people enjoying it.
