Since this voting system will give an official osu! badge I think doing an official form in the osu website should've been the best way to manage this. It's really tedious and takes a bit of time doing this form manually + finding all the maps... The issue here is that, imo, lot of people won't even nominate or won't nominate more than a few categories and just a few options for ea.

Not trying to devaluate the hard work but doing something more friendly for the people to participate would've been better I guess.

Maybe you tried to do something more official but the staff couldn't do it in time? ... idk. Hope everything goes well though!

its more of a last minute thot handsome and i built up

next yrs is gunna b more sophisticated Xd

Oh nominations are still going? I thought it ended 12 hours ago
At least I still get a chance to nominate

Alright I'm 4 hours late but nominations are closed. Everything will be tallied up and votings will be open this Friday, stay tuned!

Votings are now open! Didn't have much participation, so pretty much every valid candidate was put up as a nominee instead of a top50 limit. , votes are PM'd to me, and vote responsibly!

nominees aren't sorted in any meaningful manner

Sanae-san not a tuuhea song tbh

You may want to add Irreversible to the list

I still wonder who nominated me for outstanding contribution

What was the criteria again for outstanding contribution? (Didn't there used to be a write up on each category).

Also suggest sorting names in alphabetical order.

there wasn't writeups for every category, and outstanding contribution would basically be anyone who has contributed to the mapping scene in 2016 outstandingly, very big surprise! there are some stretches in nominees but i left them there cuz there wasn't a very strict guideline, and most 'joke' nominees won't be voted in either way.

edit: also a quick update, Grand winners get 6 months of er, while Minor winners get 1 month! prizes sponsored by VINXIS and -Mo-!

i hope scuttle bug gets ranked in time

I'd like some proof as to why people in outstanding contribution are in there.
I obviously don't stalk all of them and I have no idea what they did in the past year, so how can I cast a fair vote about them? =w=

First of all I'm curious as why I'm in there too.
I'm not saying I should or not be in there, but rather the reasons why I'm there. Whatever those reasons may be you should also confirm them with the in question, since some nominator can just assume things on his own for things that someone may haven't done at all (just trying to bring up an interesting possible scenario).
Maybe someone helped a lot with an osu!booth in their country at some sort of event or maybe they got a lot of stuff done behind the scenes in general, not just modding/mapping activity (which imo is not enough to qualify someone for this). Stuff that only few witnessed and can actually say "yes, this guy worked his ass off for the game"

^ But I'd like to know what those things are, thanks

Wait, so Gensou, Yume no Owari isn't?

If you want to bitch about a map not getting nominated, bear in mind you could have nominated it yourself. Even if it was your own map.

@MrSergio - people just nominate. Unless they actually gave reasons for why they nominated people (which wasn't required), no one running the MCA can actually answer your question - unless you'd like an answer like "Cuz someone nominated them/you".

The system through PM is so complicated that I doubt whether there will be more than a dozen of people vote for something different from their nomination.

Std as always

Hi relevant person!

I don't understand how it's complicated.

You have 13 votes split among 7 points. you list what maps/s you want to give X amount of points.

I'd be shocked if someone actually used all 13 votes for each section, there isn't enough content for that.

If I knew I could vote for myself I would've participated huehueueh

Then please remove the oustanding contribution bracket lmao.
As I said there is no meaning in blindly voting on assumptions. Differently from the other brackets, this one can't really be based on "subjective stuff": I can say that X's mods are better than Y's imo, but if someone contributes to the game is a solid fact. By itself it shouldn't even really exist a voting, since it's something you can decide based on objective stuff.

it's more of a 'unnecessarily complicated' than anything. formatting and all, i can understand where he's coming from. we just lack a proper system to vote for stuff with verification (which is why we didn't use Google Forms), so this'll have to do.

i don't see how that's a reason to remove it. this vote is purely subjective and opinion based, if a feels that X didn't contribute, he wouldn't vote. yeah sure there's the fact that not everyone who contributes aims to get their name out there for exposure, so the average person won't 'notice' them. but i think it's a fair compromise so that the people who contribute get at least some sort of recognition, rather than none at all in the name of 'fairness'.

tbh you could have set up google forms but require the to pm for verification (within a set amount of time or w/e, that is) that it is actually them that casted the vote.

very roundabout way of 'ing', and also unreliable and possibly the same or more complications.

You are changing the topic. What I meant is that I spent almost a whole afternoon composing a single PM with given format, not counting time spent checking beatmaps and people. This simply sucks.

thats why i didnt participed xd

I spent like a half hour. I barely paid much attention to the mapping scene much all this past year and I still recognized 90% of the nominations just by name. Props to you for going into the nitty-gritty and comparing and constrasting beatmaps and people against one another, but it really shouldn't take all day to throw down some votes.

If you were going to go that deep into detail, the format being more suitable for that would not have saved you a significant amount of time.

maybe using survey sites in the future would make things go smoother and faster idk

we'r using a website next yr anyway Lmoa
