Yeah I get kinda annoyed by the whole "Non-standard gamemodes are minigames" mentality. So many people in this community seem to have that thought.abraker wrote:
I don't think Ephemeral played enough mania to understand what goes into it and I believe he has just slightly been exposed to the culture thanks to some occasional drama over at r/osugame. Ultimately the "I don't even know what a mania is" is a valid response, though a not satisfying one. I have yet to see the latest coffee hour, but if he didn't say that they weren't real rhythm games with sarcasm, he needs to be dragged to the mania subforum and be executed there with extreme prejudice.

hey i didnt say anything about it being "real" or not, just that i had no idea why 1-3k weren't considered. apparently it is because they're not considered in depth enough to allow for ranking from a mechanical perspective, but i find that even questionable
I know that it's not you saying this, it's the people creating ranking criteria, but there are a lot of very good maps that would fit being ranked that are either 2K or 3K (I don't know about 1K, to be honest), that fit the current criteria perfectly and are very fun to play. They contain patterns that challenge the current meta patterns, and they can be very diverse, especially 3K.Ephemeral wrote:

Theoretically 1k can be ranked too, but it is a question of what aspect of it would one find being enjoyed enough of it compared to other keymodes. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole to completely alien territory, then we can also rank storyboards too. I'm sure the creators would enjoy creating such things more than the player experiencing such things, so such creations in the scheme of things would work only as a creativity viewpoint instead of playability. I am not even going to bother trying to justify how such would work out from the rank table's perspective because this concept is either too far ahead of it time and/or too alien for us to even ponder about right now.johnmedina999 wrote:

Now, before Khelly comes in and kills me for supporting ranked, having these maps ranked would bring a lot of exposure to these maps, as a large amount of people (sadly) play only ranked.
And I know I might as well be yelling to the wind here, but it's nice to think about these things.
