Welcome to the 2nd iteration of Mapping to Pander: Taiko!
Mapping to Pander (M2P) is a contest with two primary features: there is only one judge, and you may map any song.
Your goal in this contest is simple: you must create a map that panders best to the chosen judge for the contest. The judge will not be given any criteria; it will be up to them how they score and rank the entries, either by making their own criteria, or simply sorting them from best to worst.
Each iteration of the contest will have a different judge, with different tastes and criteria from the last.
There will be a few rules to abide by, but for the most part you are free to submit whatever song and map you desire.
