Does dl'ing the packs count as playing new maps, because lately I've been too lazy to go the Beatmaps section

Oh, sorry, forgot to pm in the forum here.

How would somebody nominate maps for monthly charts if they don't play the new ones? (:

Makyu wrote: 4iw5y

We must be active on forums?
just asking, may try to apply

You need to be active in the Ranking Chart Forums after you have been added to the CAT. How active you are elsewhere in the forum doesn't matter too much. But a bit of forum activity can be a good point to become a CAT anyway.

Damn it Makar, stop dodging my question, I don't feel any sense of satisfaction at all from that answer.
Also, an important role like CAT can be motivation for changing that behavior.

Alright, I'll be a bit more direct: It doesn't matter if you presently play new maps or not, but as you can tell, it is important for you to do this if you are added; nevertheless, if we see you currently actively play new maps, it will help us in choosing applicants.

shouldn't there be a space after the word "new" in the title?

Nope, they wrote 2013 NewMAT Applications also like that.

I'd want to apply but i thought i don't have any experience about that

It's my time to shine

does ing the CAT makes you unable to participate in the charts? i mean be in the rankings?

I think that shouldn't matter as long as even a proud grammar nazi understands what's written there.

Just do it and say in how far you want to improve and work on yourself. We won't neglect your application.
A small advice for everybody: Stop having those self-doubts. Just try as good as you can and you'll see if you're accepted or not. Always saying that you would not be suitable for the CAT just gives an image as if you have a little lack of self-confidence.

im talking about the fact that simply anybody can knock on the door and apply for a place in the chart team. a team which was supposed to resemble quality. it's now just a random bunch of people gathered around who vote for the maps they like most (like it already was, i was in it), but that will now simply tremble down even further. it's just sad to see that happen.

so what do you suggest to change this situation?

Simple. A carefully selected team of people who know what they are doing.

I consider it's not a Problem to give new dedicated Players a chanche to help the Community

i think a better structured plan as what to consider a "quality"-map would be helpful

which factors are more important then other..

the Difficulty spread?

The Patterns?

the diversity of the different genre categories?

etc.

isnt that exactly what they are doing now?
you make it sound like anybody that applies has a chance of getting in, but that would be stupid

@silmarilen:

believe me, i've been in it. anybody can just . how are you going to determine one their skill in making a good objective judgement over a map when all they have to do is send in a PM saying: hello i like chart maps very much fun. pls let me . k. bye.



@Kingkevin30:

The minute you start to categorize maps in a chart on how ''good'' they are, is the minute you have accepeted objectivity within it. You cannot say a map is better than another map if it's purely opion based to begin with. That would makes this entire chart a hoax.

Then we'll go on in the process. When something is good, then it is. For if it's not, it's not. Sounds confusing, but it's fairly simple to comprehend. How 'good' a map is, is part of the map as entity. It's an attribute of that entity. The only real problem with trying to make the best damn possible objective based judgement is that it will always be clouded by your own opinion/view on things. That is exactly why it's important to establish a team of people who know what they are doing and dealing with; so they can discuss and end up with the best damn possible chart.

Keep it with a bunch of random people who vote for what they like rather than what is good, and you'll end up with bad charts.

errr I dont think you become select just to send that kind of msj, see this with positivity and hope the select guys gonna do a nice work imo

GladiOol: Anybody can apply for CAT, but not everybody will be accepted. The selection process will take about 2 weeks, where I will carefully select a group of applicants for the CAT to discuss who should be in and who should not and why. Things have changed since you have left ;3

Also, I will say this again: It is safe to assume I got your verification PM. If I see that somebody sends in a application using the form and fails to send me a verification PM (and believe me, I'll know) then I will PM you myself to .

ok already submit

Thanks ><

Good Luck :>

I think it will be good team!! I`ll try to !

Is it possible to still apply and maybe be qualified if you don't play as heavily or have less time?

Only reason I ask this is because before my laptop died, I was playing like everyday. Now, I barely play as much since I'm borrowing another pc (a.k.a. playing while the pc owner is sleep).

Nothing is preventing you from sending an application :p
All you need is good mapping/playing experience, I guess. If you're able to tell why x or y map is awesome and should be on the chart, you pretty much have your chances.

Oh yeah I Forgot Mapping Skills Ur the Best Mr. Color!

It's not needed to have mapping or modding experience, yet recommendable to the CAT. If you're an experienced player, you should know what's fun to play and what not without having any knowledge of mapping.

Nevertheless having mapping experience is a plus that helps to distinguish what's good and not.

Deif has a point. Being a veteran Player is good but being also a normal mapper/modder is a plus.

Good luck to everyone who will give it a try!!

i might not be chosen QAQ i mod maps but i have no kodosu but you all got plenty QAQ

YunoFanatic, did you read the post carefully? Who cares about HOW MANY KUDOSU you have?

No modding experience is required, but it is a plus.

All what you need are:

1. Being active in playing newest maps (How will you vote for maps if you have not even seen them?)
2. Have an experience in playing (How will you vote for maps if you do not know what the real good map looks like?)
   

   We are primarily looking for with a good amount of playing experience;

   I am not saying that you will be not accepted, but I can't really say that since April you have gained a lot of experience in a game.
3. You need to be able to give an opinion and state the reason WHY this or the other map is worth being in a Chart. Explain what is good and what is bad there.
4. Furthermore, this was not specified here, but a good expression in English is recommended. (While reading your replies and posts I cannot say that you have a good command of the language and can prove your statements so that people would understand it..)
   ↑ I am not saying that my English is perfect but I am sure that when someone will read my lines, he will understand what I wanted to mention here.

What's not clear? Just try to be confident and show that you are worthy of being a member of the team.

Ok Didnt see that coming

So, what exact qualities are being looked for in a CAT application
I wrote that I click a lot of dots and know what good maps are
i hope that's good enough

You gonna see if that's enough when you gonna be accepted or not.
Most of the needed qualities are already described in that Thread and the OP. Just check it again if you feel unsure. But please avoid to write a 2nd application.

There is probably no limit - they take people which are just good for this position.

Indeed there's not a real limit. The more people who can help, the better. That doesn't mean everybody who applies there will be selected, but only the people who really deserve it.

Just be patient and keep tuned with future announcements!
