Dude, I just wake up and got a heart attack.

OAO Dahell?! Ano, to the ex-MATs congratz and thanks for ur hard work! ^^

I thought i've gone color blind to see all the purple guys gone orange

Holy cow.

All the previous MATs must be very happy now. \:D/

Well, this change sounds pretty reasonable for me.

I wonder if all of the former MATs feel that way right now. lol

As a previous leader to this team and one of it main driving forces in its infancy I'm proud to see this change. I think down the line this was bound to happen and I only see at as more growth for the team when this team was created it was simply a group nothing more nothing less, but for the last few months I think we can all agree they have been the driving force of this game in of beatmap moderation. That being said they are no more or less to us, we are equal so the team has ran it's course and the end result is a decent team dedicated to help and make osu! as fun and cool as possible! I'm glad I was able to be a part of it, and to all the team that have now moved on to the BAT I say welcome not that you haven't been welcome from the start! To any of the MAT that are now BAT Don't stress the new role you have too much because the only thing that has changed is now you can approve of things! I can't wait to see the great things to come from you all. Of course if any of you have any questions I'm sure you have been informed. Thanks for being awesome and keep up the great work! Yes I wall'ed the thread. I couldn't be more happy about this!

The only thing that changes now is that people will stop writing XAT/*ATs when they mean the Team in general I guess lol

What the fuck Ephemeral, you're 22 days late.

Not sure how to react to this. I'm pretty happy that such a measure was taken, but I really really wished the previous MATs did not get moderation powers. I just feel that some of them are definitely not fit or ready for the job. For personal reasons, but I still very much dislike it.

Oh well. Gratz.

In some way, I have to agree with Color :/

Yeah, that's the one thing I dislike here.

Let's just see how it goes. If someone fuck up, they will just get out of the team ~

i've yet to hear one compelling argument/substantiation behind that claim - PM me with an appropriate argument for individual where you think this is applicable and i will consider it

I could, but I'm not going to. I want to give them a chance as well.

You'll hear from me in the next few weeks if things go south.

yep. me too ........
For many who are new to and those who have worked so long
have injustice

I like this. The gap between MAT/BAT was thinning over time, so this is the best thing to do for the team imo. I just hope they won't go nuts on the community moderation side and simply stick to the modding bit.

.. Bye MAT

gratz everyone who got promoted to BAT

:3

Good Job!

R.I.P MAT

Good Luck BAT...Wish u all the best (?)

That was... unexpected, omg D:
Definitely a good choice though, gratz to the new BATs!

Congrats - let's see how it goes.

Well, this feels a bit weird imo, and I currently think the old system made more sense xD

but I think the ones who did these know what they do xD

done.

Wait wha-
Wow.
Well, this is interesting.. Congratz, I guess?

Wow nice

I don't even....

Gabe and Elly in Red = hot

I find the change really reasonable and it's great since some people still thought BATs are only there to rank stuff.
Not sure if Congrats is the right word because we only got BATs now~ Congrats!

This is worth a shot!

I can only feel a little sad with all these people's reactions of surprise and dislike... To you guys, think it twice.

And all the people quoting Natteke, heh..

It's not about dislike, it's just about that all of them got moderation power, and some people think that they will abuse that.

Abusing power will be the equivalent of a death wish :p

the team knows how i feel about people who abuse their permissions

seems like something cool for me
congratulations to everyone~

RIP MATs.

Yahoo~! BATs

all i'm gonna say is i have thought about this, multiple times, and still very very unsure about this change

now next round is BAT Application?

This will be interesting... xD

Happy April Fools!

what scared me is that it's past the 1st

what have i missed from being in class for several hours...

EDIT: Not necessarily implying this as a bad thing; I'm happy for those who got promoted. Grats to them. This was just so unexpected on when it was going to happen.

"Man, I haven't updated my MAT/BAT activity chart in a while. I better go do that"

>Next day
>MAT ends.

FFFFFFFFFF-

let's see how this goes.

Nice! Congrats to everyone!

hmmm well waw

Lol jesus

Heh, reminds me of the days when only BATs existed \:D/

eh old o.o

well, congrats!

I think, old BATs will not take bubble reqs, because they were BATs when it wasn't a mainstream.
sorry for my ingrish

I really hope they step up the modding quality as BAT. I'm not referring to all MATs, but the ones I am referencing know who they are. This responsibility hike might do the community some good or it may be disasterous. It all depends on how responsible people actually are.

Give them a chance 1st!

There was a lot of MATs who gave priority to modding friend's maps. Now they're BATs. "Step up"? Don't sure.

I have to agree with him in this point, some MATs aren't really well modders to even be MATs, and BAT is a bit too much for those people. Congratz for those who deserved it.

Just give them a chance and take a look at how they behave with their new powers before you start leaping to conclusions. Near future will show who is able to take enough responsibility, speculating right now is useless unless you can give actual examples.

BTT: Congratulations everyone!

MAT has existed so many years, but now MAT is end, as a result, everyone of MAT is promoted to BAT, I want to know whether they have adequate time and activity to be qualified for a BAT.
Inactive are so many, they do hardworking before they the team, but some of them become inactive after a short period of time.

Agreed.

Challenge accepted.

Now who's going to be on the front line?

I just came back and saw this owo

Oh, nice! Congrats to the 27 ~

oh, finally the teams have merged! i hope this ends up well. uvu

Congratulations to all the new BATs!

Here's your prize!

You're so pretty in red! *3*

Good luck to everyone. :3

Never forget.

LOL.

That is a lot of new people with power, you better hope this was not a bad idea :/
anyways congrats to everyone

I hope that all these new BAT will show better discretion with what gets ranked than the previous lot.
This was a change I advocated for a long time ago, but with how the standard of ranked maps has changed since then I fear it may not improve things much. It is perhaps just shuffling the cards while really what we need is a complete new deck.

Congratulations to all the people on the list!

interesting change; let's see how this unfolds

congratulations to all newBATs

Wow turn of events...

Yay.

Let's be positive, everyone.

Do not start with negative thoughts even before we will see how things come out, let's give a chance to everyone and see how it goes.

Just wanted to say this :3

Well, thinking on this point he's right, maybe the extinction of the MATs can bring good things.

I read the title and thought, OMG MATs were gone :c
I hope you have a nice control for all new BATs as many people said their statement, as many MATs aren't ready to be BATs, but well~

Now speedranking will be twice as fast as in the times MAT existed :I

can we also merge the name colors

Ok. Lets be positive just because we can't change anything with our words..
This is not be negative... This is be realistic.
I don't have arguments to the idea of ''The MATs is needed here in the community in osu!'' .. But I can't the idea of ''The end of the MAT'' too..
inb4 ''BATs Promotions''

IMO. Stop Finding and Changing the people and start making audits for the work of all the people in the team..

I honestly cant believe most of you have such a low regard for the former MAT team. Not just anyone could get into MAT, and just because you got more power doesn't mean you automatically abuse it. Ephemeral has also clearly stated that we should know what he thinks about people stepping out of line. Every action has a consequence. Have a little more faith.

I will say that everyone is a human being and human beings by nature make mistakes. That of-course doesn't excuse you if you abuse your power. I'm talking about mistakes, not being a idiot.

Each day is a learning experience. I personally will strive to improve my modding abilities to the utmost.. to become a better modder and mapper that I am currently. Even I know I have a lot to learn still. I'm no fool.

I don't think I'm the only one that thinks this way (or so I hope.)

*Edit
Fixed some grammar.
