modders throw a fit over a map with uncomfortable parts with sharp motions made on purpose to emphasize sections
beatmapsets/852901/discussion/1782610/general

Mapper uses varied spaced jumps for variety. Some modders claim inconsistency, some don't. Great example on how structure and consistency can be subjective. Arguement is that consistent inconsistency is still consistency.
beatmapsets/829956/discussion/1738992/general/pending

Maper uses 1/16 and 1/12 doubles within the map to emulate 2B and impactful double tap feels, respectfully. Modders claim it doesn't follow music, that 2B has no place in a ranked map, and that players don't play those notes the way the mapper thinks they are played

Fight me.

I have definite principles and opinions. Yet what is the worth of them in an environment where leverage is only gained though sucking the dick of the various higher-ups, who think that this game is their own little kingdom where they delight in inflicting their arbitrary will upon other people. It's a bit hard to 'fight' anything in this location, where my only means of communication can be deleted and revoked if it goes against the agenda of these established people. But before you call me ineffectual, maybe you should ask yourself where half the old population of this subforum has gone. Where there's a will there's a way, don't think that some casual commentary by me is a serious attempt to 'fight' anything.

a good question to ask yourself in all things

What is the value of truth, harmony, and morality? That is the goal of my values. You know, the usual stuff. Now, what principles do you hold?

Oh boy, what have you done abraker,
You caused a bird fight, both of them sizzling hot, guess they're grills
Ephemeral is in fact, a chick

i don't have principles because i'm staff obviously haven't you heard?

You don't have to tell me. Don't feel too bad, you're not an exception. It seems that most people don't have much integrity or any guiding principles when it comes to being mod or similar positions. The only person I trust is myself.

that sounds like a very lonely existence

It's lonely when you're betrayed by someone you previously thought you could trust.

doesn't seem very smart to remove the possibility of trusting anyone else ever because one fuckstain dicked it up

imagine how worse things would be if everyone worked that way

With that kind of thinking, you can never trust anyone to help you get off your knees. And eventually you need to retire and give someone else the torch.

Oh what's the matter? having 4/5 of the BNs in your mode being inaccessible because they do mod by their own accord or being "too busy" isn't so bad.

I don't know how Standard mappers can even complain.

Like honestly, my last ranked map was in late 2014, and that was already hard enough to rank a map. Now it seems I can't get any attention either because not enough people, or they forget, or they don't like the song/map. Either way, it pisses me off. Like, I want to rank maps, but if this system is going to get harder and harder, then what's the point if they're going to look at other mappers who have been mapping for 6 years and go 'ok instant rank'.

Well, it really doesn't. Bad maps are getting ranked anyways so that shouldn't hesitate you to get something ranked.

If everyone follows your advice and begins mapping/getting things ranked, 1) there will be a boom in Pending maps which would make ranking a map take even more time than it takes now, and 2) it would make the Ranked status absolutely worthless.

Look bois, Stefan got his map ranked, you can rank anything

JK ily mutual me

Fuck the 5 minute marathon thing. I want to map one difficulty, pour all my love and hard work into it and be proud of that one baby. Unfortunately, 4:24 needs to have 2 more difficulties. It took 1.5 months to map a 4.67 star map that long. I have work, I have a life, and I can't be bothered with making more than that. I can't be bothered mapping more than one diff of anything long than 2:30. I'd rather complain about the lack of ranked maps than waste my time doing this.

Oh hear this:
