    So welcome to the Appreciation of Nature.
    ============================================================
    Standard Idea:
    In this competition, you the forger will be in charge of making a map with a heavy focus on a natural environment. Therefore your map should convey a 95% natural environment of sorts. It doesn't have to be realistic ( feel free to use my natural maps as examples ( divinity, trench, etc. ) ). However it is, it should be gorgeous.
    ============================================================
    INSPIRATION
    Why? Simple, Thanks to me playing Monster Hunter World, I have seen some stunning and creative natural environments. I have personally loved forging natural maps so I want to see more people bring there own "Worlds" to live.
    ============================================================
    Now for those of you wanting to know the scoring here is a breakdown:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    RUBRIC:
    Gameplay: 30 pts
    - Risk Taker: 10 pts
    - Weapon Master: 10 pts
    - King of the Game: 5 pts
    - King of Play: 5 pts
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Environment: 70 pts
    - Most Unique Environment: 30 pts
    - Accent King: 10 pts
    - Master Seam Binder: 10 pts
    - King of Rocks: 10 pts
    - Reason For Being: 10 pts
    ============================================================
    "WAIT" You may say, "there is a section for gameplay, game-type are we developing for?" Well for you the answer is pretty simple:
    ANYTHING YOU WANT
    That's Right my lovely fellow humans, this goes for whatever you want, You can slap together a map for Slayer, FFA ( MY FAVORITE ), Infection, CTF, BTB, Dominion, Extraction, or even a *GASP* Minigame. This means each will be judged for Gameplay on its own terms and judged for gameplay for its gametype. if your map supports more then one Gametype, pick the primary gametype of the map, that will then be used to judge it.
    ============================================================
    REWARDS:
    Above I had listed a bunch of really odd names for points rewarded, well here they are explained and if a map has the highest score in this genre, they will receive the respective title.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The: RISK TAKER goes to the player with the most unique map ( gameplay wise ).

    The: WEAPON MASTER goes to the player with the WEAPON best layout.

    The: KING OF THE GAME Reward goes to the best minigame submitted.
    ( I define minigame as any game that is not on the disk, sorry infection mains )
    ( SLAYER VARIANTS that define a new experience go here ( Extermination is an example )

    The: KING OF PLAY Reward goes to the best core map submitted.
    ( Infection, BTB, Slayer, etc. go here )

    The: MOST UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT goes to the map with the most original layout.

    The: ACCENT KING goes to the map with the best use of bushes, shrubberies, and accent parts

    The: MASTER SEAM BINDER goes to the map with the least seams throughout the terrain.

    The: KING OF ROCKS goes to the map with the best use of rocks.

    The: REASON FOR BEING is the map that throughout the map itself explains why the Spartans are there.
    ( Map Description and Name will be considered, no outside lore will be considered. )
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "But Fred what about real rewards, are there any?": Well I will answer you because you asked me: THERE WILL BE:
    The overall winner will be given:
    ***DRUMROLL PLEASE***
    5.00 US DOLLARS (Via PayPal)
    [Yeah I am a broke College student don't judge]
    ============================================================
    DUE DATE:
    All maps must be submitted by 11:59 PM of MARCH 12th, 2018.
    ( All Maps must be new: Started at the earliest of Jan 1st, 2018 )

    ============================================================
    Good Luck to all! May the most creative and fun map win!

    Does poop count as natural geometry?

    @purely fat poop could be used as an accent piece but I do not believe it would count for natural geometry. I mean terrain pieces, rocks, trees, and plants when I say that. However, if you wanted to go with a rotting corpse theme or something then I guess that could work as an accent piece if the map is 95% made of natural objects from in-game than yes you could have fecal matter on your map :) be creative and try to surprise me :)

    The race competition is paid and still has next to no entries, you'd be lucky to even get one for this.
