Hello everyone. - Dia dhuit

Everyone in the Irish community would be very grateful if we could have our own channel (#Irish)

All of the Irish players would greatly appreciate if you took the time to add this as we feel like it would better the players involvement in the community , The only way us Irish players can currently communicate to each other is over a Facebook group and Discord server that we have but many other Irish other players do not have these.

People may not know that Ireland has its own language ( Irish - Gaelige ) and it is a massive part of our culture. Many of us prefer to speak it rather than English. Having our own channel would give us a great opportunity to finally meet and communicate with other Irish players and to strengthen our community, Over the past few years the Irish Osu! community/rankings has quite grown and is still growing today.

We would very much appreciate it if we could have our own channel.

Thank you for reading this. - Go raibh maith agat le haghaidh léamh.
-Demon and the Irish Community

I agree! I feel like we could definitely get more of a community feeling if this was added.
There seem to be a few groups of players already but with this channel we could bring everyone together.

Since most irish fellows have been learning irish since like 5 years old to the end of secondary school, it would be nice for people to have a platform to actually use it for anything more than to pass exams. Even if it is as small as an osu chat

Please calm down a bit with your posts. You definitely shows that you want a own channel to chat but it's kinda unnecessary to leave posts like "pl0x" and "I agree". Instead, make some suggestions and/or leave more reasons why you need it.

As it stands currently, it's not easy to become involved in the Irish osu community. While we do have at least one that's running right now via a skype group, it's very difficult to find people who are interested in participating in said community, and most of the group are only the higher-ranked players. It's difficult if nigh impossible for someone to get into the group without knowing a current member.

I think part of the intention behind the creation of an #Irish group would help those who are interested in discussing the game and meeting up with others of the same nationality, as well as speaking the Irish language, find each other.

Personally, when I was new to the game, I had no way of interacting with others from my country without seeming like a creep. My only option was to directly message someone, and hope they cared enough to respond. I only started to be a part of the Irish community when I gained a high enough rank, and started to get noticed by others.

I think an #Irish channel would help said newer players find a niche in the community they could fit into, instead of being forced to keep to themselves, like I was.

As i stated in my original post we have a group on Facebook (Irish Osu Community) and we have various Skype groups that we would converse in, But many of the Irish players are not in these groups as they simply don't have Skype and Facebook and we don't really have anywhere else to converse with them.

I don't mean to be rude at all, but this can't be the only feature suggestion with those kind of replies. There is an abundance on many posts both passed and stagnant.

True, which many do. But showing is still showing support, even if it is a half assed comment. A #Irish chat would be beneficial for the education of Irish players, who dedicate much time to osu and still must work for exam results. Having an outlet for subconscious Irish revision would be perfect, both for raising the community standards among Irish players and bringing fun to the use of the Irish languge.

This is the reason behind everyone wanting an #irish channel.
I honestly felt like this too.
I barely interacted with anyone from Ireland when I first joined, if it wasn't for Demon messaging me, I wouldn't have realised there was such a nice community from Ireland, and then I wouldn't have even known! Well, I was a little late to the party, but I think an #irish channel will
really connect the community, and who knows, we might even have the chance to really get to know some amazing people.

Channels are not groups for communities, they are groups for specific non-English languages.

"Ireland has its own language ( Irish - Gaelige ) "

Last time i checked Irish isnt an English Language :^ )

"Irish (Gaeilge), sometimes referred to as Gaelic or Irish Gaelic,is a Goidelic language , originating in Ireland and historically spoken by the Irish people"

Understood, but this would be a sole requirement for the channel rather than a community of players from Ireland. We would need an indication that there are a significant number of speakers of traditional language speakers for this to happen.

*FWIW half my family is Irish, so i'm very much aware :P

So how exactly do we give an indication of how many of us can speak Irish when we have no place to speak it?

Get more people that speak the language to provide their vote in this thread, and star it!

My point was being made in response to the opening posts, to confirm that language specific channels are not community group for those who live in a certain country. The requirement for us to justify opening a language channel is that we have a large enough collection of players that speak the actual language to justify operating and moderating the channel.

What purpose does the #English channel serve if the English speaking community already has the #osu channel to use?

Im gonna say one thing. In my eyes all countries that are on osu should have a channel for themselves because as it is now if some random Polish guys starts playing this game and he finds the #Polish channel then he will go there for help because thats his community when you look at it. So what we speak English and not our own language. When I was new to this game I had nowhere to go, sure I went on #English or Polish because I am polish but there was no one from my own country around as the Irish ranking has just under 800 players I believe but it would have been nice to have somewhere to go right away instead of waiting 8 months till I creepily stalked one of the top players because I didn't know if this guy was nice or not but as it turned out hes now one of my best mates both online and in real life and who knows how many other amazing people there are left to meet, but who knows since there's no way to simply go on and say hi to everyone at once while most countries do have their own channel as most have their own language.

I'll tell you why in a few points:

1. The game was born in Australia, is developed in the English language and services the highest percentage of players in the English language. this won't change.
2. #osu is the default channel for ALL game clients when first started, server side announcements are made in here and it is for general chat surrounding the game itself, which just so happens to be... English).
3. #english is an overflow channel for off-topic discussion in the English language due to the large percentage of players that use this language.
4. We're not trying to have a deliberate stab at minority groups here. If you want more proof, we've never made an #Australian channel either ;)
