Welcome to the osu!catch Secret Santa Event 2018!
Introduction
Hello everyone! I'm proud to announce the third year of our annual Secret Santa queue. Every year, more and more people become involved in modding and it's fantastic, so it's a huge honor to be able to bring this around again. This seasonal event is all about giving to others, you shouldn't join if all you care about is receiving mods! This is an event where every week you'll receive a random map that you'll mod, and you'll also receive one mod in return from someone random! Each week will have a 100% random factor, meaning that you'll never know who's modding your set! The goal is to help incentivize and promote modding activity throughout the holiday season. This event will start on the 2nd week of November (November 4), and end on December 16 (The weekend before Christmas weekend). I decided to switch around dates this year since people tended to lose interest near the end or became too busy due to holidays.
How it works
Starting today, by posting on the thread with a message saying that you are interested in signing up, you'll officially be signed up for the event! If you sign up, please send your map selection to me via forum pm. Week 1 will start on November 4th (Sunday). 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 11th, everyone will post their mods on the same day in order to create one big day of mods. On the same day, you'll receive the map you'll have to mod for the next week, and so on. 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
- 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!
- You must post your mod on the day specified. Posting early ruins the suspense of who you got!
- 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!
- 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!
- 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.
- Don't belittle someone's modding skills. This event is even for new people, so additionally you should help them improve as well!
- Please be kind to everyone!
