Well, I decided to participate. I'll create a good map and submit it for the jury's review.
I'll try to be more polite with my expressions, and I hope the readers of this thread will forgive me.
This map, I'm sorry, esteemed map author, although it's better to call it an RMG (Random Map Generator) creation, because he is the true author (I'm not making this accusation without reason, because old-school players, to which I belong, are very familiar with RMG's drawing methods), so, this map is only marginally suitable for a contest of this scale (even critically so, almost like a Fault), and the words "I'll create a good map" are inappropriate both in terms of the process and the result.
Therefore, I might receive some negative feedback from the contest organizers, which they will send to you. I ask the author to improve the map, mainly based on the points that can be found in the threads about map-making skills, in particular, regarding excessively open and closed spaces, and also based on the criteria for rejecting elements of RMG-style map creation, such as pre-set scrolls and Pandora boxes, banks, Hives, and prisons. And, of course, in my opinion, the main oversight is the possibility of playing as the "enemy" side, even in a team.
I believe I have the right to make such statements. My map, which I mentioned earlier, is undergoing final testing, and it was created completely from scratch, with dozens of iterations of the gameplay, dozens of revisions to the plot based on my own imagination, and hundreds of test runs of individual elements of the game. Special mention should be made of the complex work on those map elements that I asked the organizers about in a separate question.
By the end of this week, my map will be presented to the jury. And this will be a legitimate challenge to compete for the title of map creator, even if it's not a prize-winning title.
Thank you for organizing the contest and to all the participants. I apologize for the harsh words, but as I would say myself, "...because I was extremely upset."
I will accept appeals...
I bid you farewell, pure Hero of Map and Making, although, of course, my nickname doesn't stand for that...
