I tried to steer clear of critiquing this map after yet another update.
It hasn't been added, but I might as well suggest what needs to be done to get approved.
It may not be easy to take, especially since I am not involved in map-making for TF2.
I am currently learning to import texture packs and giving credit to those who have them published on GameBanana.
Starting things off..

This map could be best described as a rough draft of something bigger. It may not be added, but what's stopping you from expanding?
In other words, you have the skeleton of a DR map. Now make it fit what best interests you, Ellis.

For example, make it turn into a Skial map.
Replace a trap of a player waiting to be voteslayed when caught lol. Boss can be Bottiger. Humi can be a report on skial being approved against them. This is all for example, so I would not know what will interest you to put your personality into it. Replace the textures of the walls with something like the forum background.

When you are done transforming your map, release it as a new map.
I would make sure it is absolutely perfect unless there is a bug causing the server to crash or just more ideas that will change the map entirely.
Have playtests before releasing it so you don't have to update the map until another season.
You like L4D2, so why not incorporate the game into a DR map? dr_L4D2?

Personally, I don't think this is going to get added. Since It's your first map, that's great. I do believe you could always make another map that's better than your first map.

I'm going -1. Good luck on your journey with mapping.
