Hello everyone!

I'd like to announce the creation of a Team Queue to unify the mappers and modders of a osu!mania community. After some discussion, many of us felt like it was time to make a change, and creating this queue should be able to push the highest quality mapsets quicker to rank, as well as help new mappers and modders improve their overall quality.


Why did we form a team queue?

Currently, the osu!mania ranking system is in a difficult state. With very few BN's currently active, this organized queue should funnel all maps into one place, in which if your map is accepted, could guarantee you a mod from a BN or QAT. This Team Queue will be used to take the immense workload off of our current staff team in order to evenly split the work between all participating members and further enhance the quality of maps in our community. This queue will also improve the speed at which maps are ranked, as now, all maps are in one place for our BN's and QAT's to check should they deem the set worthy of an icon. This team is open to any player by a vote of the current staff of our queue. That is to say, if you are found to be an active modder with high quality modding, you will likely be voted in. A note that modders in this queue may accept mods from other sources, but it is HIGHLY DISCOURAGED, as it defeats the purpose of this group queue.

The System

Maps placed into this queue will be placed into a list in which it will undergo a 3-Day voting phase. During this phase, the members of the team will quickly check/playtest the set and vote on whether or not the mapset will be accepted for further modding. If the map is accepted by the team, we will send members to mod the map and hopefully bring it to a level of which it can be qualified at. If the set shows it has the quality to be qualified/bubbled, a BN or QAT from the team will be able to check the map and determine for themselves if a set is worthy of a bubble/heart. WE WILL NOT FORCE THE BN'S AND QAT'S ON OUR TEAM TO LOOK AT YOUR MAP. This is done based on their own discretion. They aren't our slaves, we are here to help them out in a time of serious struggle for our community. If a map that we modded previous to qualification (within 1 week) gets disqualified, you may resubmit the map to this queue, and we will instantly accept the map for a re-modding so we can get your map back to ranked.

In order to circulate and revive the mania modding community, it is necessary for you to do one of the following:
  1. You can mod 3 mania maps that are NOT listed in the Team Queue and provide proof that this was a high quality mod. This is a really important factor so try your best modding.
  2. You can mod 1 map that has been rejected by our team and placed into the "special list". (Maps are placed on the special list if we believe the mapset has potential or is very close to becoming a quality mapset).
Please ensure the quality of your mapset to be of the highest, so that way you have a higher chance of your mapset being accepted by us! The higher the quality, the more likely your mapset will be to recieve mods, or even icons from our team! If your mapset does not meet the minimum quality we require to be accepted or to be on the special list, we will reject your mapset with a brief explaination (not a mod) on what we believe you should fix before resubmitting. We're here to help you, not to do all of the work for you.


Here's what we hope to achieve:


In total, we would like to attempt to unify the mania community into a place where a mapper can safely ask for mods without waiting months for a reply. This system, while currently untested by our team, will hopefully bring forth new mappers, modders, and potentially even BN's! This system will hopefully encourage others to mod other maps in order to recieve multiple mods on their maps. Remember, you're giving away a small bit of your time in modding 1-3 maps to receive a great deal more from our team! In the end, we hope to take the weight off of the shoulders of our BN's and QAT's who have been working extremely hard for us, in the absence of others. Now is our turn to give back to everything they've done for us.

Please be reminded that this is NOT the actual queue, just an announcement. The queue is taking place soon in this forum section as well.

Thank you for your time!

That can be really good actually. Sad thing is that I dont know indonesian :/

If you know someone who is capable to do it and wants to do it, tell him to catch me in game so we can talk!

And about joining, good to know, during this first weeks we probably wont be accepting a lot of people but who knows?
Arzenvald
hope i could try to find one, plus if joining this group make stuff done easier & faster, i will support this..

In relation to what Unago suggested I can very well translate this in French if it turns out to work as intended.

Question : as I understand it is sort of a special kind of M4M queue where you have to give proof you have modded stuff with reasonable investment and in exchange you receive a mod from the Mania Modders Association right?

Q.Q toilet paper omg..
Pretty much ya, personally i like how in 3 days, member picks / vote to accept the map.. i imagine how if in 3 days most/all requested maps are good enough for qualification & voted as accepted..

Pretty much yeah. Afaik if your mods are deemed low quality then your request can be rejected. Also you're not guaranteed that we accept your request as we choose those most worthwile to mod. But ask Juan or take a look at TNA (taiko thingy) for detailed info :V

Its like an special M4M but you are free to mod whatever you want. We will post a list of rejected maps by us every week (maps who made it into the voting phase but wasnt good enought) and people can also mod those maps in order to get mods from us. If your map is good enought for us and the mods that you made also are then we will mod your map and eventualy give icons to it.

Sounds solid, thanks for enlightening me!

hai semuanya!

saya ingin mengumumkan pembuatan "Team Queue" untuk menyatukan para mapper dan modder komunitas osu!mania. Setelah beberapa diskusi , banyak dari kami merasa ini saatnya untuk perubahan , dan pembuatan queue ini diharapkan dapat mendorong beatmap kualitas tertinggi menuju "ranked" lebih cepat, serta membantu mapper dan modder baru mengembangkan kualitas mereka secara keseluruhan.

apa alasan kami membuat queue ini?

saat ini, sistem "ranking" osu!mania sedang berada dalam kondisi sulit. dengan sedikit BN yang aktif, modding queue yang terorganisasi ini diharapkan dapat menyalurkan semua map dalam satu tempat, dimana bila mapmu diterima, dijamin mendapat mod dari BN atau QAT. Queue ini akan digunakan untuk mengurangi beban berat anggota kami dalam rangka membagi rata tugas antar anggota yang mengikuti dan menambah kualitas map dalam komunitas kami. Queue ini juga mengurangi waktu suatu map di-rank, untuk saat ini, seluruh map yang berada di satu tempat untuk para BN dan QAT cek mesti dianggap layak untuk sebuah icon. Tim ini terbuka untuk para player sesuai pilihan / voting dari anggota queue kami. maka dari itu, jika kamu termasuk modder aktif dengan kualitas mod tinggi, kamu mungkin akan dipilih masuk. Catatan bahwa modder di queue ini mungkin menerima mods dari sumber lain tetapi SANGAT DIHINDARI, karena tidak sesuai dengan tujuan queue ini.

Sistem kerja

maps yang masuk dalam queue ini akan dimasukkan ke suatu daftar dimana akan dijalankan seleksi / pemilihan selama 3 hari. selama fase tersebut , anggota tim akan segera mengecek / testplay dan menyeleksi / menentukan layak atau tidak kah mapset ini di-mod lebih lanjut. jika diterima , kami akan mengirim para anggota untuk nge-mod map tersebut dan berharap dapat membawanya menuju posisi yang cocok untuk dikualifikasi. Jika set-nya memilki kualitas untuk dikualifikasi/bubble, BN atau QAT dapat mengecek mapnya dan memutuskan jika set ini layak di kualifikasi/bubble. KAMI TIDAK MEMAKSA BN DAN QATS UNTUK MENGECEK MAP ANDA. ini berdasarkan kebebasan masing-masing. Mereka bukanlah budak kami, kami disini untuk membantu mereka dalam waktu penuh perjuangan untuk komunitas kami. jika map yang kami mod masuk kualifikasi dan didiskualifikasi dalam kurun waktu 1 minggu , anda dapat memasukan mapnya dalam queue ini lagi , dan kami akan langsung menerima mapnya untuk re-mod sehingga kami dapat me-rank kembali map anda.

dalam rangka menyebarkan dan menghidupkan kembali komunitas modding di mania, sangat diperlukan bagi anda untuk melakukan salah satu dari berikut :
1. kamu dapat nge-mod 3 map mania yang TIDAK termasuk dalam daftar queue dan berikan bukti bahwa mod ini memiliki kualitas tertinggi. Ini faktor penting jadi cobalah sebisamu.
2. kamu dapat nge-mod 1 map yang telah ditolak oleh tim kami dan yang dimasukkan dalam Special List / Daftar Khusus. (map masuk dalam daftar khusus bila kami merasa mapset tersebut memliki potensial atau hampir dekat menjadi mapset berkualitas.)

Pastikan kualitas mapmu adalah yang terbaik, sehingga kamu mendapat kesempatan lebih tinggi mapmu diterima oleh kami! makin tinggi kualitasnya , lebih mungkin lagi mapsetmu akan mendapat mod , bahkan icon dari tim kami! jika mapmu tidak mencapai kualitas map yang kami inginkan untuk diterima atau masuk dalam daftar khusus, kami akan menolaknya dengan penjelasan yang rinci (bukan mod) terhadap hal yang kami yakin harus diperbaiki sebelum mengirim lagi. Kami disini untuk membantumu , bukan melakukan semua hal untukmu.

ini yang kami harapkan untuk dicapai :

secara keseluruhan , kami ingin mencoba menyatukan komunitas mania dalam suatu tempat dimana mapper dapat meminta mod dengan aman tanpa harus menunggu balasan sampai berbulan-bulan. sistem ini, walaupun belum dicoba oleh tim kami, diharapkan akan membawa mapper, modder, bahkan BN baru! sistem ini diharapkan akan memberanikan yang lain untuk nge-mod map lain untuk mendapat sejumlah mods terhadap map mereka. Ingatlah, anda menyisihkan sedikit waktu ngemod 1-3 map untuk mendapat yang lebih bagus dari kami! pada akhirnya , kami berharap kami dapat mengurangi beban BN dan QAT kami yang telah bekerja keras untuk kami, tanpa orang lain. sekarang saatnya membalas budi hal yang telah mereka lalukan untuk kami.

Ingatlah bahwa ini BUKAN queue, hanya pengumuman. queue akan tersedia di forum ini juga.

Terima kasih untuk waktunya!

oi semuanya

ini udh bikin Team Queue biar mapper sama modder mania digabung. doain aj ada mapset keren bisa cepet dirank. sekalian juga ngundang org baru.

buat apa team queue ini?

soalnye susah ngerank map di mania. BN jarang aktif. forum ini juga buat staff biar tugasnya dibagi rata jadi gk kebeban. trus makin cepet mapnya dirank, klo mau mapnya masuk list harus pantas buat dirank.

sistemnya

lu kirim map lalu diproses 3 hari buat seleksi sama testplay. klo bagus ntar dikasi mod. klo misalnya map yg udh lu kasi diqualified tapi didis lagi, kirim aj gpp. ntar dimod lagi kok.

ada syaratnya klo mau ngirim map :
1. lu mod 3 map yg bukan di list mereka. ngemodnya yg bener jangan asal trus kasi bukti lu udh mod 3 kali
2. lu mod 1 map yg ditolak mentah mentah sama mereka atau yg di special list.

klo map lu ditolak ntar dikasi alasannya. jadi lu bisa perbaiki mapnya.

oh iya ini cuma pengumuman. queue nya ntar kelar kok.

kurang greget apa lagi coba...
