Does "Aiming for mat next month, Still doing this" really helps? I saw on some people profiles those kinds of sentences, and what I thought is: "Wait, They are just modding maps to get MAT and cool nickname colour? ", So my question is: Does this kind of sentence HELPS, or makes you in even WORSE situation, while standing for MAT ?

It won't help you get noticed. Posting consistently good, helpful, and descriptive mods will get you noticed.

Good question though, Sync have only "130" kudosu (so sorry for using kudosu for comparing), While I see some people with about 300 kudosus still not being MAT, so how does it work?JAKACHAN wrote:

Quality over quantity.

i highly doubt that. people become MATs because of their hard work and effort when they mod, and how much they're helping the community. kd doesn't matter when you mod, but it's about how descriptive and helpful you are to the mapper.LunarSakuya wrote:

Don't ask, complain or rave on about how good you are, how many posts you've made, or how you've worked so hard and are still not a MAT. Put yourself in our shoes; would you want to promote someone who keeps whining?Having a goal is fine, but making it the reason you're modding/helping the community is not the way to go, being promoted to MAT is a priviledge granted to the people that are descriptive and helpful to other mappers to help make their maps rankable and increase their quality, if you do this only for the sole purpose of getting a purple name, you'll have very few chances of making it in (Hint: none)

It's good to have a goal. For instance, I have a goal to get on the kudosu rankings. There's nothing wrong with wanting to achieve something.
If I wasn't in such a shitty mood I would write this huge thing about how a great MAT should be and why some other crap, but I'm in a shitty mood, so I won't.

People who make good MATs are people who have the goal of being a great modder and helping people out and being awesome, not people who's ultimate goal is having a shiny name colour. If you want to be recognised as awesome, work on being awesome.
There's nothing innately wrong with aiming to be a MAT, but I think it should be secondary to wanting to be great at the things a MAT should be great at.

Isn't that a good thing, as many people aim at MAT, we can get more mods; if no one aims at MAT, it's harder to get mods, so it certainly helps wwwwww
also, you made a typo in the title lol

No, it does not help whatsoever, and it took me, myself, a long while to realize that. Quoted from what I posted on the New BAT/MAT announcement thread,
' I was pretty dumb to do it myself before I got promoted.' 'it doesn't help you acomplish anything and it makes us recognise you as somebody who is only aiming for a higher position. If you're good enough quality-wise and behavioural-wise, trust me. The team WILL recognize you, so please don't say stuff like that in your signatures or user pages.'
so, i agree with what sync said; quality > quantity. don't go on a crazy half-assed modding spree hoping to get tons of kudosu then hoping just because you have a high amount the teams will recognize you.
so.. yeah it doesn't help.

Two easy ways to fuck your chances for any giving round:
1. Go on a one-difficulty modding spree.
2. Have "I'M AIMING TO BE A MAT" written in your profile/sig.
So, it does help if your goal is to not be a MAT! \o/ But uh, don't do it. Just be helpful and don't be an asshole. Oh, and don't write shitty mod posts.

There's nothing wrong to have a goal. Just don't go around showing your goal to EVERYONE to support / notice them. That is not the way to go.
Eh wont help all that much. Although it may gain the attention of someone who will then look at mod posts you make and then if those are quality enough, then you may get it.
Although those who get MAT make mods that stand out from the crowd. You wont get it by just saying you're hoping to get it. Although again if they don't know you want MAT, there's a slim chance they'll consider you unless you're pretty well known.

"His mods are good, but... It seems like all he/she cares about is the title of MAT. Eeeeeeeew!"

There's a lot of modders who mod for the sake of not making maps suck :>. That's how it was before MAT, and it still happens like that for some people during MAT >3<~.[CSGA]Ar3sgice wrote:

^ WHAT the FU.. ?!
I find it funny how several people who posted in this thread had the exact phrase: "AIMING TO BE MAT!!11!!1!111!!" in their profile/signature.
At least now that the problem has been addressed by the community and higher-ups, the problem is slowly dissipating.

words help a whole lot in the process.awp wrote:

Ironically enough, someone who did have "AIMING TO BE MAT!!1!!one!!1!!!" did recently just get into the MAT.
This is something the staff should look over before recruiting people into said team.
