To avoid any confusion...

@^: Same here.

Well, i just wanna say: thank you for this TWC. It was fun to play with you guys. It was also fun to watch others in their thrilling matches.
Good luck for all teams!

I just hope you will have lots of fun during the Taiko World Cup.
Remember... there are no losers. There are only teams that didn't manage to win.

Did some of you already lose (or feeling that you lost for sure)? Doesn't matter!
We are a one step closer to a better community (+1 Lepidon :3)
Who cares about competition? This one got our countries closer for sure ;D (oh hai there, Slih ;3)

It was so much fun to play Taiko. Especially with you, guys. :?

Good luck to the rest of teams again.

Best wishes,
Dark~

Over and out.
[a little edit]
Forgot to add: I have to quit osu!. And again, it realy was fun. Thank you all!

Goddamnit DarkSty, you sure are a very sympathic guy, man

We will miss you, DarkStoorM.. ;_;

Give your best against Germany B, and maybe Poland will qualify ~~
Backfire
What the...why are you leaving? ;A;
Acrith
If I could say something..

DarkStoorM, you were a good player. There's still many people that ask me "Why the best players, who have skill and ambitions must leave the game?.." - And I can't answer them. I only hope that you won't quit osu forever, and you won't leave us - Taiko players, because you have achieved too much to waste it.

Through this TWC there was a moments of fun, moments of hard competition, and there was sad or almost depressful moments. You won't feel them through normal playing osu!, or on normal multiplayer matches. There was everywhere a spirit of competition, which gaved us power, and ability to keep fighting. It's a great feeling, really.

And I want to thank you - Taiko World Cup Staff, in particular the organizer of this tournament - Lepidopodus. You made a really good work once again!..

I want to thank you - Community of Taiko World Cup. Thanks to team that we were challenging, those words of good luck before game, conversation about stress, about.. everything. (aabc263, thanks:). There was a lot of fun to watch and play with you. I won't forget it for long. But it seems a career of Poland this time is over. Just want to wish good luck to Germany B, and our incoming match - I hope it would be excellent.:)

That's why I'm trying to help everyone. Because it's really wonderful tournament.

Good luck everyone, do your best, try to be the best, and reach the top!..

Goddamnit DarkSty, don't do this to me man, we wont hold anything against you and we won't try to stop you with anything you are going to do but we will very much miss your presence here and you are indeed a great buddy, don't think of leaving before you give each and everyone in here a big thad hug and kiss, we will definitely need it to overcome your loss but man, this is very regretable, i am at the loss of words, please overthink about it man. <3

Uh... guys... you won't miss me, believe me... I am just an unknown, random player.
The truth is that I was playing Taiko, because I just wanted to try it out. It was like playing something different than osu standard.
I liked Taiko, but didn't play it much, just to get good in it or something. It's just fun to play it.

Acrith, I am not a good player, goddamnit. I have never passed even a one Taiko diff (maybe one, lol).
My "skill" is as same as the rest of polish players. I mean passing only an osu difficulty. We have many players like that.
And I am not different. Taiko is just too hard for me.

Locher, sure:
/me gives a big hug to osu!

I will just login this night to watch the second round.
I'm out after this.
Maybe I will login sometimes... I don't know.

Farewell~

Don't be funny. You have never passed even a one Taiko diff? Maybe you're telling about that 240bpm overmapped songs that Firce made. I still trying to told you that you're really good taiko player, and you were doing well on this tournament. I could make a large list of people who agree with me. Sometimes I think you don't believe at yourself...

Don't ever give up! even if you think you are unknown, look how many people care, so many people want you to stay... you even said it yourself, it's not about winning or losing, it's all about having fun. You got the chance to meet all these people and had the opportunity to play with these wonderful people. This is a step closer to achieving a better taiko community. You want Poland to go far? Be apart of that process! Help Poland become better, they need you. Such spirit and warmth helps everyone, and one bright light will lead to many others.

I'm not going to force you into staying, but you even yourself said that taiko is fun for you to play. If it's fun, then there's no reason to leave. What, just because you think you suck? If it's the least bit enjoyable, that's a good enough reason to keep your presence around here. It's not right to just leave because you think you suck, if because other people's skill level scared you out of it or made you feel bad about your own skill, it's not right...

It's just not right... ; ;

well good luck DarkStoorM.
DarkStoorM
Well, xcherry, you convinced me enough and thank you. Maybe it's a bad idea to quit.
But I don't know... maybe I will play just from time to time. I was just addicted to osu D:
Didn't have time to other things, because I had always osu opened D:... that's why I wanted to quit.
But it doesn't change the fact that Taiko will always be too hard for me... haven't seen any sense to train more \o/

wmfchris, sowwie for off-topic. Didn't know that they will start posting like that :P

Though this might be the inappropriate place for this, I'd like to say this openly instead of PMing you, lepi :

Though I've been a referee for one match only, and was quite a fun experience, I'd like to retire from TWC Staff to mind my own business. I'm deeply sorry for this, but the latest events have forced me to retire from that and Taiko in general. The real reasons won't be said anyways, personal choice. You can ban me if that is your choice.

I wish to everyone but 4 people good luck. The 4 people KNOW who they are.

It's sad, that people leaving us.

I can only wish you good luck with.. everything, _gezo_, but I don't expect what you'll read it.

Yeah, but sadly he don't really care about TWC and stuff, it's just attention-whoring, saying "Hey, I'm here" D: .

I'm ready to replace Gezo as a referee, if need be. I don't regularly check this topic though, so if you would like me to replace him, feel free to sent me a forum PM.

I hope this doesn't cause any commotion or trouble inside the tournament, that's the last thing I'd like to hear.

Good luck to the staff and the players.

It seems like a lot of people are retiring / have thought of retiring lately.
I hope this TWC won't have a bad aftertaste concerning this matter ...
Loctav
There is no need for extra referees.
In worst case, I take over all slots. This quit might or might not have reasons. But this is not our concern (even
If the way of announcement seems inappropriate for me)

And to stop this drama, everyone should focus on training the maps.

Tomorrow 1-3 begins. Finally.

Like Loctav said, we don't really need extra referees. If need be, me, Loctav, and Wmfchris can cover for some of the matches.
