Hm, I might give this a shot :D

I mean, it's Stock, meaning I don't have to download DSL or anything :D

...what's the weightlimit for LW again?

Scourge's splash would be a dead giveaway.  XD  I mean c'mon, it's going to have Umino or some anime character in it right?  :D

I... uhh...

Yeah, you got me ^^'
I'm really that predictable :3
But it's also my most outstanding quality, if you get my meaning O:
If they know it's mine, they probably won't vote for it, so I need a different tactic

(Just to see if I can actually make the darn bot first XD)

You could also attempt to imitate someone else's splash style. I still have to get a working prototype running.

JD did a pretty good job of imitating a JoeBlo splash this BOTM... I really thought Joe made that.

I have bot done. Now for the splash... :3

Working prototype up and running! Now just to test it out, and give it a name and splash.

I wouldnt call that imitating.. JD has some good candy skills of his own.. just doesn't enter very much so people haven't picked up on it to much..

He name doesnt always come to mind when trying to figure out splashes.. yet mine does despite not entering the last 2-3 BOTM's :P

Post by: NFX on April 05, 2011, 06:47:10 AM
I need to do something different with mine. It's getting too predictable. Hopefully I'll do something different enough, once the prototype's working,

Post by: Scourge of teh Galaxy on April 08, 2011, 11:57:10 AM
I finished the bot and am now working on the splash. Should be done by tonight :D

btw, do I submit the bot itself as well, or just the splash? I know, it's a stupid question, but this is my first time doing this ^^'
Title: Re: BOTM May 2011
Post by: G.K. on April 08, 2011, 11:59:19 AM
Submitting the bot is not mandatory.

It's not just the quality of the candy, it's also the text layout, the color scheme, and the big closeup shot of the bot in the middle, stuff like that.  It just looks like one of your splashes.  The only thing that threw me off was the fact that it's a Robot Wars replica, which you've never been known to do.

Thanks! Being compared to Joe's splashes is a compliment in my book.  :D

Now I need to imitate a Clickbeetle splash...

Ok, I have an entry built.
I just need to finish its splash.

JUST NOW, AT THIS VERY MINUTE, I FINISHED MY SPLASH AND SUBMITTED MY BOT!
....Now I play the waiting game.

Did I reveal my bot's name? No, no I did not.
....That, or ACAMS is trolling me over my entry.

But J, I think that people aren't allowed to tell that they've entered...
Title: Re: BOTM May 2011
Post by: NFX on April 13, 2011, 07:32:03 AM
It kinda does eliminate some of the secrecy of it, if you tell them that you've entered.

Why so much secrecy?
Title: Re: BOTM May 2011
Post by: Scourge of teh Galaxy on April 13, 2011, 11:15:03 AM
This is the first time I've ever entered, so I thought I might as well give a bit of notice.

Not next time though. You'll have to pick it out yourself next time :D

This.

Everyone else says they are entering, nobody else goes crazy.
I say I'm entering, and everyone explodes.

It was not directed at only you, it was directed at EVERYBODY!!!
About half the entrants post here that they entered every month, and I can understand it because they think I check to see if their entry uploaded........I DON"T......I check about a day before the deadline and if I have time and feel like it I let the offender know his bot did not meet the rules (if I catch it) and give them a day to fix it.
