@epicusernamehere I would just move the black king back and forth, and then with white I would play h3 and then triangulate the king once.

Busted 
Can you at least tell me how good a competitor this position is to others you've seen?

As a clearly legal position, it's not really a competitor to the illegal positions. But your post was much preferable to those of the spammers who put four kings or twenty queens or no black pieces on the board.
Wow... I can't believe I didn't see that!
yes, it just needed one useless move from black

Right. Don't overlook the king's ability to heptangulate.
But this way is quicker.
This position looks quite normal until you think about it. Black to move.
You're right. And it still looks quite normal even after thinking about it.
