In December 2021, we hosted a game tutorial contest for Dark Forest. So far, we have received over a dozen submissions, most of which are technical analysis articles.

The following winners were selected by community judges. Contributors who volunteered to participate in the judging were keke, snowtiger and Erica.

In the interests of fairness, judges will not be able to contribute to the contest, but will receive a POAP with a ⭕ contribution value (community members can gain a ⭕ by participating in any of Guild W's constructive activities available to them, for example, the testing and the brainstorming of the DF community round game.).

Each winner will receive XDAIs and a 1/1 POAP with 1 ⭐ or ⭕　contribution value (⭐ - same as our quarterly beta contributors), please DM @gn#5110 by the end of the week with the ETH address you wish to receive the prize.

The XDAI awards will be distributed this week and POAPs will be distributed as soon as they are approved by POAP official.

Winner: elitemetaverse.eth

Community comments:

1. This author explained many technical features in detail, such as how player birth points are generated, how maps are randomly distributed, etc.

2. Detailed analysis of the implementation logic of player birth points, game maps and artifacts, as well as pointing out bugs that have been exploited by players. These articles allow people with some coding basics to easily understand the implementation details of DF on several important game logics.

3. Very diligent DF content creators! Each contribution is a clear and concise way to understand one of the principles of Dark Forest!

The Dark Forest is a complex on-chain game and it is not easy for new players to understand the game and win in a short time. This guide is invaluable in guiding new players step by step to know how to play DF!

1. The article mentions an exciting vision and imagination of the possibilities and gameplay of future 3D coordinate games.

2. The author has written a number of articles for this contest and has presented a vision of gameplay that will inspire the building of future games in Dark Forest.

Since there were no eligible contributors for the Rabbit Hole Exploration Award (8 winners, 25 XDAI and a 1/8 POAP with ⭕ contribution value each), we decided to change it to the Dark Forest Community Friendship Award, which is given to Dark Forest contributors who have been helping new players.

The nominations are based on the results of the forms collected by the Dark Forest Chinese community last year, and the list is as follows (as discord username):

Velorum#2595

modukon#1691

nightlostk#5236

Erica#5887

snowtigersoft#7221

yyzz#1017

Cromad#7892

It's not a big reward, but getting this POAP means that your kindness in the Dark Forest community has been remembered by some of the Chinese community and people want to show their appreciation to you!

Dark Forest is a decentralized game with a community consisting of players from all over the world, and it's the game that brings everyone together to break through language barriers and build together.

If you are not a Chinese or Japanese speaker, but would like your contribution to Dark Forest to be known by the East Asian community, or would like to become good friends with players from East Asia and learn about the culture of the East Asian community, feel free to talk to us and Guild W will try our best to be the bridge between the East and West communities.

Due to the excessive number of NFT prizes set up for the last Community Round and the very time consuming communication with the numerous number of sponsors, our design contributors are still being designed.

Another reason for the delay is that some of our core members have suffered family changes in the past two months, for example, two operater members have suffered the death of loved ones from serious illness at the same time.

All prizes will be distributed when the design work is completed, with the XDAI prize will awarded first. For next community round, we will optimize the award scheme.

Another good news is that we have secured the assistance of a metaverse project similar to OnCyber, who are currently assisting us in modelling a spaceship with the waterdrop shaped pavilion that will be used in the future for Dark Forest related 3D NFT rewards presentations and the game live. :D

2. 新手迈向冲分进阶选手的实用指南。

获奖者：bitnews.eth

社区评审观点：

黑暗森林是一个比较复杂的链上游戏，对于新人玩家来说，在短时间内理解游戏并取胜是一件不容易的事情。这篇攻略从游戏战略角度，无微不至地指导新人玩家一步步入门游戏，难能可贵！

**获奖者：**elitemetaverse.eth

社区评审观点：

1. 文章中提到对于未来 3D坐标游戏 可能性以及游戏性的展望和想象令人兴奋。

2. 作者为本次征文撰写了很多文章，并且提出了游戏性的设想，这对于 Dark Forest 未来游戏的建设有启发意义。

由于兔子探索奖（8个名额，每人 25 XDAI 和一个 1/8 带有 ⭕ 贡献值的POAP）没有符合条件的投稿者，我们决定将其改成黑暗森林社区友情奖，发给一直在帮助新人玩家的黑暗森林贡献者。

该提名根据 Dark Forest 中文社区去年收集的表单结果决定，名单如下（为 discord username）：

Velorum#2595

modukon#1691

nightlostk#5236

Erica#5887

snowtigersoft#7221

虽然奖励不多，但获得这个 POAP，意味着你在黑暗森林社区中的友好行为已经被一些中文社区的用户记住，大家希望向你表示感谢！

黑暗森林是一个去中心化的游戏，社区由来自世界各地的玩家组成，是这个游戏让大家走到一起，冲破障碍，共同建设。

如果你不是中文或日语的使用者，但希望自己在黑暗森林上的贡献被东亚社区了解，或是希望和来自东亚的玩家成为好朋友，了解东亚社区文化，欢迎和我们交流，Guild W 将尽力成为这座连接东西社区的桥梁。

由于上一轮社区活动设置的NFT奖项过多，以及与众多赞助商的沟通非常耗时，我们的设计贡献者仍在设计。另一个延迟的原因是，我们的一些核心成员在过去两个月中遭遇了家庭变故，例如，有两位运营成员同时遭遇了亲人的重病去世。

所有奖项将在设计工作完成后发放，其中 XDAI 奖将提前分发。关于下一次社区轮游戏，我们将优化奖励方案。

另一个好消息是，我们获得了一个和 OnCyber 类似的元宇宙项目的协助，目前他们正在协助我们建模一个飞船和水滴形状的展馆，未来将用于黑暗森林相关 3D NFT 奖励的展示和游戏直播。
