Disclaimer: I won't be participating nor judging

How to participate:

Download the desired mp3. Make a new map in Edit mode. Put the correct title and artist, the correct difficulty, and then the correct timing. Then, you'll later submit the .osu! So you just make a map with an mp3, and that's all there is to it. ;) No registration or anything is required.

------
Rules are basically the same as last time.

You have til August 31st, 2009 to map.

Prize: I'll draw whatever you want, as long as it is PG-13 (lots of blood and such is okay, but nudity isn't). Also, no humans, I can't draw them (hybrids between humans and animals are A-OK, as long as it isn't a human with, say, cat ears and a tail, I mean like a dragonman). Yes, I can actually draw. I'm usually just too lazy to. Scanner downstairs for best quality.
---------------------------------

So, I'm sure you've all heard real music. However, once in a while it's fun to delve into the oh so fun realm of... Character songs! Why are they so fun? Because they're songs. Sung by characters from the show. Often not sung in the show. They're more of a 'fun' thing, really. It's often a relief from all the serious music you listen to. But are character songs mappable, you ask? Yeah, some are. Not Agumon Ondo though. Or other Agumon songs. Gosh, that guy can't sing! ><; Nor can Takato, now that I think about it. *ahem*

Other stuff is two posts down.

Judges:

1. Cyclone
2. Mogsworth
3. Larto
4. DawnII
5. foulcoon
6. Sinistro

Judging Criteria:

-Basically, all that matters are these things:

A. The map is as close to rankable as possible. Don't worry about this, it just means to map as you always do.
B. How fun the map is overall. Your map can be technically correct, but still be not fun at all. Again, just map as you always do.
C. How neat it is. Don't be sloppy, please.

AKA it varies from judge to judge, but yeah.

So, just map the best you can, that's all, really. Judges, judge as you want, out of 10. I'll be glad to pretend judge your map if you want to see how you would probably do. ;)

Submission:

To submit your entries, either

A. Upload it somewhere and PM me the link (DO NOT UPLOAD TO UPPPY OR YOU MAY BE DISQUALIFIED BECAUSE EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR ENTRY). mediafire.com and megaupload.com both work. .osu's are small, so just about any free upload service should work, actually. Ask in chat if you don't know how to forum PM and/or upload.

B. Email it to me at examon@live.com.

C. Copy and paste the contents of the .osu into a PM (forgot about that, hehehe).

I am playing through every map to make sure it

A. works
B. doesn't have any obvious errors (by obvious, I mean just by playing it, 90% of the osu! population would see it. By error, I mean indisputable, unrankable error. Basically, if anything would cause it to be a nuke.)

I won't reject any entries, but if there's something that's quite wrong, I'll point it out and ask if you want to change that. Then I make it anonymous, and put it up in a secret place that the judges will be PMed when it's time. :P Which will be the beginning of August.

EDIT: Fixed due to small overlook. orz

I'll sign up.

For mapping.

I guess.

Do I need to sign up? It's not very clear. =S

Where are the rules? Link please.

Can judges submit maps as well? (Probably not, but no question is a dumb question!)

...I'd like to add something else...but we'll have to wait for the day of reckoning.

Sad to say, they can't, because otherwise there would be a bunch of bitching, no matter how it was done. -.-; And I don't like bitching, because it leads to drama, which leads to stress, which leads to me wanting to strangle the hell out of a bunch of people in chat. We don't want anyone strangled, so...

'Sides, since it goes by just adding up the scores, you'd only have 4 scores instead of 5, since we wouldn't let you judge your own map. :P I say "we" because the community would be against it.

EDIT: Before anyone ask, yes, English character songs exist. They are few in number, but they exist. I chose what is probably the funnest one and most liked out of that limited number. Was a tough decision.

Oh, and I'll be timing offline for these, so don't get any sneaky ideas. Just in case anyone was going to ask that.

Might I be able to judge?

*might be interested in mapping* Deadlines are usually the only things that will get me to stop procrastinating...

And on that note... *rushes off to try and finish one of his own WIPs*

Make a map right now. It must be ranked, have 100+ votes, and have a rating average of 9.0 or higher by May 30th. If you do this task, you can be a judge!

Otherwise, no, sorry. Looking for experienced people here. <_<; Did add two judges so far though.

I'd like to judge. But seriously I will never be able to get a rating average of 9.0 cuz many stupid people vote 1,2,3 -_-

rating average of 9.0

wat


Well, I'd love to judge if you let me.

I offer my judging services.

He didn't mean everyone had to have a map like that, just someone who has never mapped before, he's essentially saying NO WAY.

This. It was a test just for him. :D Larto and DawnII added, I'll think about lesjuh (might have to add another judging slot ;_;).

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, one of the reasons I'm not judging is so people have someone they can ask questions to, particularly about their map. Mostly just advice stuff. I can't judge fairly if I'm helping newbies. 'Sides, do we really want another Metalik? Considering I'll be on for most of the day during the beatmapping part of the contest, I'd say it's a way to make myself useful. Horray for PMs! (No rules about letting non-judges mod your maps, if you use PMs. Judges can't mod your maps though, but that's common sense I think)

Oh, also, please, no one map the wrong song this time, considering the mp3 will be posted here. Someone did that last time, and I really don't want that to happen again. ><;

I'll be a judge. Sure.

And who will object?

Some people only want BAT's (or really high ranked people) to judge.

But Zatoichi is a COOL DUDE, so he's certainly qualified in my opinion.
