It is, yeah. I'm glad I got atleast something positive. And the splash was just perfect for me.

You so sneaky NFX.

It's too bad my idea had been done before; that got me down. Plus everyone kept pointing out how it wasn't exactly a Tempus Fugit in combat (though it is entirely stable contrary to what Scorp theorized). I really thought that 25% faster than chained HP Z-Teks thing would get to people! Maybe I should have gone with 20% faster for the lulz.

I only recognized Jonzu and J's splashes. (the latter of which came in third, which was hilariously unexpected) So Jonzu and ACAMS's bots were the most combat effective and I had the cleanest splash...why did NFX win? Was it simply the comedy of the background story? Boy, the primary target audience of BOTM sure has changed...

I think it might have been the most all-rounded entry, but didn't excel in any specific category. A bit like Mario. I don't actually think Jonzu's splash was the best, personally, I found it very distracting with all the colours and swirls and everything.

Maybe combat effectiveness isn't necessarily as important as it once was in BOTM, though, which might explain why Iron Hornet lost as badly as it did. As people have said, if it's going on the front page, it needs to have some nondescript zing to it, and the splash has got to look reasonably good, so that new arrivals might stick around and give it a look. I'm not a huge fan of going down that road for BOTM, personally, but I suppose it should be fun more than anything else.

    well i voted for #1
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Minor Miner was NFX?  I thought for sure that was JD's.
 
Also I somehow forgot to take into account that although #6 isn't very combat effective, it IS the most technically well-built bot here.  Maybe I would've voted for it if I thought of that... but oh well.

Looked like JD's splash to me as well. Mostly because it was a splash style that was already used by him.
