I wish my application would be accepted <3
All applications are accepted and personally read by me and staff.
So you all should know your applications are being read!

On a side note we're already gotten a ton of great applications, this round should be one of the best in awhile.
Thank you all for taking the time and showing interest in the MAT. Keep them applications coming!
Gonna give this a try :3
Shohei Ohtani
I was thinking about submitting an application.

But then I'd be auto-denied like last time, lol >w<~.

Good luck to all of the MATs though.
Make sure to check the main post from time to time to get detailed updates I just added the cut off for this so if you are interested get your voice heard and send them in guys!
ztrot for MAT!

:p
I'm sure that we'd be really dedicated to read and “inspect” you (don't worry you'd be omitted

hope all people who deserve it could be chosen :3
Good luck to all applicants.
;) ;)
Heh, I guess I don't have the guts to be a MAT yet. That needs a lot of helping hand (Yes, do modding as good as possible and as often as possible) to get there :D

Good luck on the applicants!
"And of course, being friendly and respectful to everyone in the community and the staff"

yea sure.
wow

i don't want to be mat though, wwww
best of luck for everyone who is going to apply, i hope all your dreams will come true ! o/
good luck to everyone applying~

hope to see more mat modding queues \o/
wow :D

I volunteer, currently only mediocre at mapping. But I'm learning fast.
Btw good luck to everyone OAO;;
GL for all appliants :D

Same as me, I'll just wait and see the new MAT
Uh... I'm speechless right now. I didn't expected any , neither that people would even think about me.
Thank you really much for your trust into me and of course good luck to all applicants. ^^
Decided to send an application anyway, as compelled by Deni and someone else. I guess it'd be very cool.
Best of luck to everyone!
-Bakari- to MATs!
Please,do not write things like "x for MAT" or something like that. This has been said many times,and it doesn't help the staff with any of the choosements,on the countrary it would just make the situation worse.

Welp, dropped an app in. Here's hoping for the best.
Did so too. We will expect people to be in, but surprises too, don't we ? ~
I wish best of luck again to all applicants, kids, you can do it all ! If you've not been taken this round, improve yourself !
This is the first time I've actually seen an open MAT application...

Let it be. Even if it affects nothing, you don't need to make them don't do that. They have the liberty to appeal their wish. If you don't like those things, just ignore them.

It would be nice to have more MATs who are able to mod Taiko, there's a shortage of them at the moment~

All the MATs I can think of off the top of my head that can mod/map taiko.

Knowing more than 1 gamemode is always a plus though. :p

Are you sure? I don't recall that happening. I the "Think you know what it takes to be a MAT?" thread that basically was this with a fancier title, but yeah. I didn't do any research about it back then as I wasn't interested in modding.
The first few rounds of MATs were indeed open applications just like this.

Yeah, I do this.

Good luck to all who apply! I'm really looking forward to seeing the results.

I looked over a couple of your mods and you do indeed have the potential. You should definitely mod more. :oops:
Just because someone is good at mapping does not make them MAT material. It's one thing to map well, it's quite another to be able to put into words why someone is not mapping well and what they need to do to fix their mapping.

If you want my view of what a MAT should be. MATs need to be critical. They need to know where to draw the line between mapper style, and mapper error and not cave in when the mapper disagrees. as MAT you are the expert. You are the one who is trusted with upholding quality standards, so make sure you know what those standards are. The mapper is ignorant when it comes to quality standards. In any point where this is not correct, then you are the one who is ignorant.

A MAT is fair. MATs should make sure that they are modding maps from a wide variety of music, and mappers. If you only like a small variety of music, then perhaps you should take some time to expand your modding capacity so that you wont be only modding certain types of maps. A part of being fair is not being biased. If you only mod certain types of music, you are only catering to people who enjoy the types of music you like.

Bias is a problem with many mappers and pros alike.

Those who specialize in particular gamemodes are the exception.

Unfortunately, the newMAT process has changed (again) and thus we are currently not accepting any more applications. We will look into the current ones and update the OP with more details as soon as possible. The moderation team as a whole apologizes for the confusion.
Yeah. 5 minutes.

Modding amounts doesn't really determine criteria.

Like, Agnes had like, 50-60 kds when she became a MAT, and now she's a kawaii BAT.

On the other side, modding a lot doesn't mean you're better. For instance, I'm not really qualified at all to be a MAT, but I have like, 500+ kds.

Poor CDFA. :(
Sweet! I really appreciate what these guys do. I've tried having a modding queue before, it's a REAL drain on your time and mental energy. Plus, when you're at my level, you always come across that ONE map you can't clear. And then your song library is full of unranked songs when you're just playing (although you can filter them out). xD

But yeah, great to see that there are new MATs being added to the team! Hopefully we can get all of these unranked maps knocked down in number someday soon. :D

Quantity will never beat Quality. However no action makes nothing. Irony ._.

What do you want them to say? Even if you quote kevin's sentence, it won't stop them and why locking the thread..? D:
They could actually provide examples as to why they deserve MAT. X for MAT states nothing about the person. This is not a popularity contest, one's qualifications must be shown through example.

I guess that's one of the main problems when trying to get new MATs involved by applications. To know the "quality" of a mapper, you must have received a mod from them, at least that's my opinion. I can't state on mods from other people if it's not for one of my maps.

Anyways, the current staff should be able to get through this problem and find the right for the staff.

What bakarotcarrot said.

Will x for MAT change anything? Nope. It shouldn't sway voting from any staff. It's not like it's going to be based on popularity. "Omg someone said val for mat, okay that's a vote from me"

Quantity doesn't mean nothing. If you're best modder ever but you only mod 5 maps per year, you won't contribute more than a common modder who mods 50+ maps per year.

Also the amount of maps you check is a good index that imply your experience in a degree. Not everybody here is awesome genius isn't it?

but ofc, those whose modding quality extremely poor don't count.
You have to fulfill the Activity as well as your Experience and the Skill of Modding to be qualified as MAT. I find it bad that people always saying "Quantity < Quality" and ofc this is true, but it should be not forgotten that the Activity of the Modder is neccessary.

just quote it, MAT is not only good at modding, but also need to contribute to the community. That is, despite kds amount is not important, it also cannot be ignored. At least, it shows your wish to help others by practical action but not only words.
My guess is that the best MAT is one who has a balance in both quality and quantity.
Thus, Quantity = Quality, for me at least :oops:

So what I say here is that you do your best while at the same time keeping the quantity of maps you mod / help.
Quantity < Quality means bigger help from one mod, but can't keep up with the amount of maps. I don't have all day if I have to wait till the end of time!
Quantity > Quality means lower than usual help from one mod, but can do mod a lot of maps. Some would demand that the mod can be better than this.

Of course, I would like to use Quantity = Quality as my principle of modding. Of course, you start by helping little, but by time you can do better mods and for more mappers. Once you reach to the point that people liked your mods a lot, while also many say that your mods are quick enough for most people, you may have a chance to become MAT.

Just my point of becoming MAT I guess. I still have a long way to go.
Wow :3333
MATs need to be mature and intelligent too. Quality is very important, but MATs need to know how to conduct themselves. If you can't get along with people, then probably you're not going to make a good teammate. I learned this lesson already and it has made me a better person.

Quantity isn't really important. Quantity is how mistakes happen. BAT mods can take well over an hour. My mods usually take over an hour. In order to give a truly exceptional judgment, one needs to not rush things. Bad things happen when you rush. We may not mod as much in a week as other people, but our quality shows through the thought we put into our mods.

If you look at bakari's mods you can tell they are designed just to be pushed out. The mods tend to be error prone, because the modder rushes through the checking process. A modder that rushes is not someone you want as MAT. It's realistic to expect at least 3 mods a week from the average MAT, because not everyone has the time to make quality mods.

The problem with the current system is that the MATs are not efficient in finding and modding maps that need to be ranked right away. It makes sense that many good maps get ignored, because every MAT is doing his own thing without any direction or objectives. We do not need MATs who can mod faster, we need ones who mod maps more fairly and openly. If rank ready maps are going unchecked, that's a problem, and it's not because MATs aren't modding fast enough, it's because they have their priorities elsewhere.

Edit: Fixed up sloppy sentence structure- added detail.
I don't know if this thread is supposed to be open for such discussions, but it dosen't bug me at all.

Anyway, I was thinking about some people a bit. And actually I would say that TheVileOne would be a good MAT.
I saw him pretty often in the Forum, modding maps and etc.(which mods were fine(though didn't checked the latest)). Not to mention that he is pretty active in the forum and open for every discussion in a friendly and clear way. Personally I think that's also important - beeing able to communitcate/contribute to the community.

He is the only one right now I could think about, since he is really active in many topics. That's why I think a litte from my site would be reasonable/okay.
I actually do agree a lot with Ono, I am extremely sure TVO will do a good job as a MAT, as well as Gabe. Even though some of my mods take sometimes over 3 hours for a 4-diff mapset, I can't stand strong in front of these two modders. Having read their mods, I feel small but determinated, so they must be.
I can't add much stuff about this as Ono pointed much things about TVO which could apply to Gabe too.

I'll go against kevin's quote and proudly say TVO and Gabe for MAT, but I still wish best of luck to all applicants.
I think it would be interesting if we could also send nominations with up to 3 names and reason why we think that person, or people would make good MAT's. maybe not for this round since it's all ready started, but might be something nice if there are open applications again

Now, that's a really good reason why somebody must be part of the MAT.
I also think TVO would make a good MAT. He writes wonderful mods in which he explains everything thoroughly and persists when the mapper denies to change a vaild point he makes. Not only are his mods well put together, he's also (from what I've seen) very intelligent and doesn't hesitate to provide and speak out his opinion during a discussion of a topic that a lot of people feel strongly about, even if/when he is going against the majority in of opinion.

Good luck to all of the applicants in general as well. There's a handful of you out there that really deserve it. :oops:
Thanks for the . I didn't really expect it since everyone was so focused on other people. Even more surprising is that the people that other people are voting for are the same people in of me.
