Yesssss Xgor, good job! I'm sad that there's still some whining about copypaste--it really brings the judge(s) into question, since it's an integral part of mapping. Plus, Xgor's use of it was completely tasteful and appropriate. No need to bash on it when it doesn't detract from the music.

Well done to the rest as well--I can't say that I'm disappointed with who's up there, as you're all very solid mappers. It'll be interesting to see how these maps develop as they go for ranking.

congrats guys

No real surprises there. Congratz guys.

Great job everyone ^^

congrats!

Hey, what does that mean ? If I said something that is unclear, PM me, I will gladly try to clarify. Or are you complaining about my not giving your map a score you thought you would deserve ?

RLC BEST MAPPER PLS

RLC best indeed

Grats to all mappers, no matter where you came.

Xgor, I'm especially proud of you for trying once again and winning.

Also, next time try to pick decent songs kk thx bb

3rd place worst thing ever.

Congrats anyways.

waaah congratz to all \o3o/

What happened to Gens' entry in Pink Nightmares? Why does it have so many 1s even though the judges liked it?

ok....

I believe there were offscreen notes, making it unrankable and hence the 1s.

Pretty sure I think that's the reason.

Congratulations. It's nice to see that everything worked out fine and that the deserved ones received the first and second places.

Hopefully we can host more contests like this, less rushed and more awesome. Looking forward to it

Hey, what does that mean ?

Isn't it obvious?
This means you reviewed maps in such a way, that made your points most valueable out of all points gathered by judges

There is always someone being more harsh than others. Putting Shiro here was totally on purpose.

if only i actually finished my mapset <3

I still don't see anything wise in random tie-breakers

If you have an issue with a judge, please PM the person in charge (Loctav) or the judge themselves, please use this thread to discuss the maps winners or not instead, or congratulate the victors.

Congrats to all!

also since when were all "silenced" (5% volume) objects unrankable...? can't we still silence slider ends...?

or did shiro not mean to imply that..? because that's kinda what it feels like he's saying from the different comments i've seen.

Congratulation to all of you ♥

Inaudible objects (volume threshold depends on mp3 volume) have always been unrankable. The only thing allowed to be silenced is a spinner.

I was really cool! Congratulations to everybody!

Just played all the winner entries and the runner-ups. I've found some amazing beatmaps, congratulations to all of you.

Actually this interests me as well. I'm almost positive that atleast at some point silent slider-ends have been rankable as long as they're used in a way that makes sense.

Edit: Whoop yep.
"The end of a spinner (or even the entire spinner) the sliding sound of a slider, and the end of a slider can be silent, but only do it if it makes sense. "

Anything that requires a click needs to have an audible hitsound. Sliderstarts/Notes. Sliderticks fall under this too, because what is the point of having them if you can't hear them?

Everything else can be silent within reason.

Currently compiling oszs with all entries in them. Stand by!

Here they are! The numbers in each difficulty name are the score they received. That way you can sort them by that and play them in order from the zeros to the heros... or the other way around!

Infected Mushroom - Pink Nightmares
Kurosaki Maon - Fuss Fuzz
Tomoya Ohtani - Rooftop Run (classic)

Alright, so sorting by difficulty name doesn't seem to be a thing. It still shouldn't be hard to play them in score order though!

happy30's comment on impossiblexu's Rooftop Run is broken... there's a "<<Disqualified due to hidden sliders>>" that breaks the HTML.

Edit: I'm actually seeing this a lot with his comments.

Congratulations to the winners!

Good wording actually but sadly we cant remove some ticks from sliders due to tickrate limit, and not every tick sounds always good, so i dont see anything wrong with silencing ticks if they doesnt fit.

congrats to all the winners ww

Ya know I found the number of contestants for this contest unexpectedly small... o.o Doesn't anyone else think so?

Yes, there were far too few entries.

you know what that means

... no OAO /shot

Gratz guys great job

congrats to the winner

Maybe next time use that game menu image announcement to announce that a beatmapping contest is going on instead of using the website to announce it under the main page. Not everyone looks at the website let alone the main page. They usually just go and get beatmaps or use multiplayer to get new maps. Just how quickly OWC twitch channel got viewers when it was added to the main menu.

I think people are less interested on beatmapping rather than playing.

Or maybe they didn't like the song selections/rules/whatever. Who knows?

Good point but i'm sure many of those people who don't use the site often won't really know how to map, especially given the time period you have to do it in? The twitch was more successful because it was aimed towards players, whom there are more of as inverness mentioned and not as much work as mapping i'd think
though spreading the news is good anyway lol

For contests, judgement procedure and general setup will be very different. Hopefully we can improve next contests with these changes.

Stay tuned.

Well,

Personally, I didn't even realize this contest existed until RLC told me like 4 days in. I might have figured it later, but I didn't check the forums and the main page that much. iirc, Beatmap contest #3 was actually d in osu! and I'm pretty sure it did help it get recognition. It probably didn't attract that many people, but it definitely helps imo.

The reason the contest didn't attract many people is mainly because of the requirement to make a full set. A lot of people in this competition made a difficulty and promptly got bored. You can see a lot of the failed submissions ed for graveyard.
A single difficulty competition would see far more entries, the only downside being the winners wouldn't be immediately ranked.

Also, two of the songs needed a tad more work to them. Rooftop Run was quite long and Pink Nightmares had a tough repetitive beats section halfway through. Fuss Fuzz' length was solid, although the swing beat probably threw mappers off.

Pretty much agreeing with Charles there.

I am almost sure that was because of the songs lol
The idea was nice tho, one videogame song, one anime song and one electronic song to make everyone happy
Just the choice was... weird
All the songs should have at least almost the same lenght to be fair lol

btw I hope we can have a storyboard contest soon :3

Im not very good at mapping, but personally I didn't make any entry because well, I didn't like any of the songs, 2 of the songs were LONG and repetitive, and mapping hard/normal difficulties. For a mapping contest, rankability seems like a pretty silly thing to judge on.

Not to mention I hadn't even heard of the contest until several weeks in.

Anyways congrats to the winners, all of these maps are pretty impressive in their own right.

Well, the Sonic song was obviously not a good choice, but the 2 remaining ones were pretty fun to map. Next time the songs should be picked via genre, not theme I guess (i.e. "anime" category should be just "japanese"). Also every aspect of the picks should be thought off thoroughly so the songs fit everyone's mapping taste.

It really is kind of baffling that Rooftop Run wasn't cut. If I modded a map of that, I'd probably ask the mapper to edit a loop out of the mp3. Was it to test mappers' ability to handle repetition or something? To me, some of the incomplete maps for that song indicate a good judgment call on how long a map of that song should be. I'd probably have given them bonus points for that.

Length aside, though, it's a pretty good song choice. A shorter version would be fun to map, I think.

I like that some of the judges were willing to comment on incomplete/unrankable mapsets. I kind of wanted to enter but didn't because I wasn't sure I could make a full mapset I'm happy with in the given amount of time. Seeing the comments though kind of encourages me to enter next time. Hopefully it's not too far away!

Also, the map pickers should really look into BPM and the how the song could be mapped.

We could have a song similar to Pink Nightmares, slow but complex rhythm. We could then have some relatively fast-paced and relatively streamy map (not so much that the whole thing is a death stream tho LOL). And then we could have maybe some average J-pop map.

One flaw I see is that it's not just the genre of the music, but also the fact that the beatmaps chosen are not completely different in the way that they will be mapped. I mean the most clear example would be streamy maps vs. non-streamy maps. But there could be other things to consider like songs that have very epic parts and very soft parts vs. songs that generally stay about the same epicness level.

Well that's just a rough idea.

Next beatmap contest will be done with created songs along with a composing contest right before it.

So the most popular compositions will be mapped for the contest.
I hope this idea works out good.

...wow
that will be awesome as fuck lol

also make storyboard contest for the winner maps hue
