Private123's Contributor Application

A honest -1 from me.
Your only true contribution has been SolitaireStation, and I wouldn’t consider an example of something done thoroughly.
You joined the Discord the 30 of June, and only sent a message two weeks later on the 15 of July where you shared a station that you had been doing in secret, with it being almost fully finished and only asking for any sort of feedback now.

Honestly, it really felt like you just walked into the discord just to share your map that you wanted to add to Fulp (and did most of it without asking for any sort of public help or feedback)
But let’s talk more about this contribution of yours: SolitaireStation.
Designed with the other Fulp maps as inspiration, it has shown to be rather distinct.
Due to where its design comes from, it feels like simply a copy of Heliostation, using wide hallways, siding decals, and feeling like the only gimmick is “its huge”. It has hallways designed to be empty yet at the same time feel really closed due to the way the decals are aligned.
Several issues have arised in the forum thread for the map but it feels as though you’ve left this work to the contributors.

I am aware of your current occupation and your current situation being the main reasons you haven’t been able to work on this map too much, but I really feel as though this shouldn’t have been merged in the first place with how incomplete it is.
SolitaireStation, although a contribution of yours, was highly rushed and now we, as a contributor team, have to fix it in your absence.

Multiple pull requests have been done in the timespan since it’s been merged, all mainly related to fixing issues that weren’t addressed before it was merged, which I find shouldn’t be the case if this map wasn’t rushed with missing key features.

#448, #453, #463, #468 and #488.

This station could have potential, but due to maintainer’s mistake it’s been rushed and is deemed as incomplete. Looking at these pull requests can tell you that the map is in a tolerable state of playtesting.
I don’t want to have assumptions of your reasoning behind creating a station without feedback or prompted to do so until it’s almost all done, but IMO it feels like you just wanted to leave a ‘mark’ on this server by making a huge map. A huge project for a first-time contribution is not going to end well, especially when you release it so early and hope people fill in the gaps.

In short, my verdict is:
