The Challenge Queue (Challenge #2 Has Ended!)

Background:

So a while ago (heh, long while) I had a trivia queue where I would post a question and mod for the person that answered it correctly. Good fun for the community, gives me an easy way to not be overwhelmed with requests, etc...

Now that I'm back. (Whoo!) I'm opening the same thing again, with a few differences. First, you notice that it's no longer a "trivia" queue, but a "challenge" queue. The challenges assigned are going to be a lot more varied, although I'll probably still give out the occasional question.

Interested?

How It Works:

I post a challenge once in a while. (a while is defined as "whenever I feel like modding something")

By meeting the requirements of the challenge, you get a "ticket", a time-limited "right-to-get-a-mod" item. You can put the ticket on any map you want, so long as it meets the requirements (under Rules, below), whether it's yours, someone else's, mine, or whatever. Usually a ticket will expire within 3 days, but that could change. Just prevents hoarding, because I don't want someone with 20 tickets suddenly submit 20 requests at the same time.

Rules:

  1. Your map needs at least +8 priority. Preferably in the 20+ range, but hey, with no more stars around, that might be too hard now.
  2. Your map needs to be close to a bubble. Use your judgment please.
  3. Your map should have at least 2 full pages of mods on it already. Even if your map is technically perfect (aka. rankable), I don't want to go bubble it unless people have given their subjective input to improve the map. Thus, I won't put a bubble post on the first or second page.
  4. If your map isn't near-rankable, and you just want advice, feel free to PM me, and we'll just go through it together. This is just a control because I get too many bubble requests.
  5. I put people on the blacklist when they're bothersome. Don't ask me to qualify that.
  6. MATs and BATs can earn tickets in challenges, but they can't use tickets on their own maps, and their tickets don't expire.
  7. You can't "request" someone. Everyone has their own schedules, so if someone doesn't feel like modding that day, you can't push them to mod. Rest assured, that all tickets will be modded by someone on the list though. :P
  8. In a case where the challenge description directly conflict with these rules, the challenge will prevail.
  9. I reserve the right to change these rules, ignore these rules, or just be a general jerk at any time.

The first challenge is here!

And the first challenge has ended!

Challenge 1: A good beatmap should be fun to play.

...and who better to decide what a fun map is than the osu! player community?

Participants should make a post in this topic. The goal is to see how many people you can get to playtest, and then endorse your map.

All participants should make a post with the map link, as well as a list of screenshots of people saying your map is good in PM.

Every screenshot is worth +1 point. If you can get the user to post here to endorse it, you get +5 points.

Furthermore, MATs and BATs are worth DOUBLE.

Beware, though, one user can only +5 endorse one map!

Example:
http://osu.ppy.sh/s/34710


Contest ends in 24 hours. (9 PM PST, August 17, 2011)

Any posts edited after this mark (after contest ends) will be automatically disqualified. We'll mod the top N maps, where N is a number we'll decide later. :P

Good luck!

  11. eldnl: http://osu.ppy.sh/s/34653 +2- Will be modded by Kytoxid

EDIT: A clarification; this time the ticket will be stuck on your map: i.e. you can't have an awesome map and then pass the mod rights to someone else. Thus, all BATs and MATs are automatically disqualified. :( Sorry about that.

EDIT 2: More clarifications based on questions I've been asked:

  1. One map can receive as many +5 posts as it wants. However, one player can only make a single +5 post.
  2. One player can give both a PM and post endorsement, for +6. (or +12 as a MAT/BAT)
  3. The screenshot needs to be in English, Chinese, Japanese, or French. That should be plenty; I don't know any others. XD
  4. Post endorsers can also change their vote at any time prior to the deadline. After the deadline, if I haven't counted the votes yet and you edit your post, it'll count as a null vote (i.e. the person you endorsed will lose the vote, but a new endorsement will not be counted)
  5. You cannot endorse a map that you had any participation in the creation of: if you're the original mapper, a guest mapper, skinner, storyboarder, etc...
  6. Posts in the map thread don't count. Bug them to post here, or to send you a PM.

So I've played all the difficulties after you did some changes and I can clear the Another for once, but I'm also very happy with the combo colors which make the map WAY more readable.

So I guess that's a star for you, keep up the good work!
Equivalent_old
Out of all, what if the SS contain native language that you didn't know? How can you confirm on that?
Suzully
What a good rule!

Even though it lacks the finger-destroying chaos I normally expect from Shiirn, alll the diffs are entertaining. I'll have to settle for failing the Another diff on DT over and over. <3
