Please do not move this to modding queues subforum, it's intended as purely a holiday event, and then it will be closed.



Introduction



Hi it's me again, I'm sorry that you have to keep seeing posts by me, but this time, I'd like to bring around something that hasn't really been done for CtB before. In order to celebrate the holidays this season, and to attempt to cover up a rough patch in mapping and modding that has been going around, I've decided to make a "secret santa" type of event. This will be a weekly event in which you mod one map and you will receive one mod in return. That's right, that's all there is to it. The twist is that the map that you'll get will be completely random, hence defining the "secret" part of it! The goal is to try and promote some positive interaction between community members for the holidays!

How it works



Starting today, mappers and modders can sign up to be a part of the first week of this event by posting in this thread. If you sign up, please send your map selection to me via forum pm. Week 1 will start on November 19th (this saturday). On that day, you'll receive a pm on the osu!site which shows you the map that you'll be modding this week. During that week, the only requirement is that you mod that map to the best of your ability but don't post the mod yet! After 1 week has passed, on November 26th, everyone will post their mods on the same day in order to create one big day of mods. If you want to drop out at the END of the week, please notify me so I can remove you. Please don't drop out in the middle of the week, as that leaves someone without a mod, and that's not cool.

Rules



  1. You MUST be willing to mod maps. If you only want to receive mods but not give in return, then this event is not for you. The purpose is to create an environment in which players can willingly give and receive!
  2. You must post your mod on the day specified. Posting early ruins the suspense of who you got!
  3. Don't ruin the fun for others. Telling people preemptively who their secret santa is ruins the fun of the event, and that's not good!
  4. If you do not give a mod to someone, you will not be allowed to participate for the rest of the event. This is the time to put differences aside and enjoy the holiday season!
  5. Please give a map that a majority of the playerbase is able to play. If a low rank player gets your 9* marathon map, it won't be fun for either party.
  6. Please be kind to everyone!

Everything will be randomized, so I won't be making any changes on my own! That ruins the fun!
Remember guys that if you're signing up for participation, be sure to state that so I can add you to the members list. Don't forget to send your map to me too!

The first set of PMs were sent out today! Remember to not post your mod until this coming saturday! Thanks to everyone who participated!

Below this post can go for anyone who'd like to sign up for week 2, or if you're already in week 1, if you'd like to drop out you can post here as well.

Just to clarify, there is an automatic continuation for everyone participating this round, and we don't have to "opt-in" again? Hopefully people don't go afk without informing anyone (:

Correct! If you don't express your desire to drop out, then you'll automatically be considered as in for the next week.

sorry people, had a pretty depressing week so I never really bothered with it. My fault entirely (thanks to JBH who offered but I turned him down cuz I thought I wasn't retarded)

Gonna restart it this Sunday!

I added a poll to the original post, please vote on it!
Xinnoh
I want to vote yes because it's a good system but I want to vote no because of your memes

It's a pretty difficult decision to make... voted yes though because I quite like this idea and do think it would be great to carry on with it.

Also if you could remove me from the queue because I won't be able to make it next week that'd be gr8 m8

This system actually is helping me keep regular activity and make progress on my own maps, 10/10

i kinda like the idea of carrying out after the holidays but instead of having it as a weekly event, we try to do it as a monthly event during non-festive seasons (aka normal days)

and whenever a particular festive season draws near, we're going to have it back as a weekly event again.

feel free to give any comments/debates for this idea of mine~
JBHyperion
Got the heads up from ascendance that he won't be able to carry this on and that I can take it over from him (assuming people still wish to do so). I'll be sending out PMs to interested people for the last "holiday" round on Tuesday (27th) for posting on the New Years' weekend (31st). If you don't want to participate (or previously withdrew and want to rejoin) please let me know ASAP.
JBHyperion
Little bump - final week PMs have gone out. Terribly sorry if anyone gets someone they got previously, or if I suggested an incorrect map. Don't have a lot to work with here xD
