Merry Christmas everyone!

Apologies for the month-long hiatus, some delays along with OWC and school exams have had me put this off for longer than I had wished to. Loved voting has returned as a Christmas treat and starting in 2018, my goal is to have these polls run as timely as possible.

This week will run similarly as it had to last month as we're still working around the new website's features in making this possible. Strawpoll links have been created for each individual map, which you can vote on now to see your favorite maps enter the Loved category!

All maps for this week have been previously nominated under the old voting system.
Due to complications explained in the thread above, maps which did not qualify under the old system will be given one final chance under the new system, and will not be re-nominated after this week.

We are still playing around with an approval rating required for a map to qualify, though the last group results had their cap set at 75% approval. Because this change hasn't been enacted for modes outside of standard, the threshold is still variable.

Here are these week's nominees for osu!taiko!

Circle People has kindly offered to make regular map showcase videos if you want to see what each map is about and why it was nominated!
Use the timestamps in the description to jump to whatever mode you're interested in!

It was the first of it's kind actually, aspire maps came afterwards.

Here are the final results!

Thanks to everyone for voting in this redemption round. After review, it seems as though every map aside from Intersect Thunderbolt and Double Impact had a significantly higher positive vote, with the 3rd lowest percentage reaching 88% positive vote, and The Fool achieving an astonishing 100% approval.

Due to this, in future rounds the threshold will be set at 80% approval to qualify and may be subject to change if this runs into issues.

According to this new rule, the following maps reached sufficient votes to be moved into the Loved category:

Excision - Live Wire by -Kriston-
Whispered - Fallen Amaterasu by lolcubes
IOSYS feat. Takatsuki Sakura - Seiya no Special Shooting Star by Ntiger
witch's slave - Daraku no Sono by Ryui
tarolabo - eth ken by _yu68
DJ Noriken ft. Yukacco - Lucent (JAKAZiD Remix) by morijo-
Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Fool by LZD
AKIAKANE - Hankyou no Barrier Seed by _yu68

Thanks again for voting!
