Congrats to all the participants, especially Sir, Michael, Deep, and Ikkerens. ;D  Nice job!  * ZTrumpet hopes Sir, Michael, and Deep spend their money wisely. :)

After seeing the originality results, I would like to know how mine varies so much (it got 8, 8, and 18) and how Sir's (14, 15, and 19) stayed so high for being a ported game.  Don't think I have the wrong intentions (I think Sir deserved to win), but isn't Advanced Wars a port?

----Jump! Fun Facts----
The idea for this entry came just after I read Finale TI's post about that he wouldn't be entering Nostalgia, 7 hours before the deadline.
I finished checking Omni then I wrote the main game engine.  This took about 2 hours.
Next I think I did my homework and other chores.  I came back to work on the Main Menu.
Everything worked with about 3 hours to go except high score saving.  I implemented it and it crashed.  I revised the code and it crashed.  Then it crashed some more.
I gave up and went to bed an hour before the deadline.  I couldn't fall asleep and kept thinking about Jump!  I suddenly remembered one of Builderboy's posts referring to confusion on Copy()rThis was also my mistake.
With 4 minutes to spare, I got out of bed, changed the code, and entered it.  This is Jump's journey to the contest. ;D

how come you got the idea when you read that Nolstalgia wasn't going to be entered?  or was it a coincidence?

and also, I remember reading somewhere that DJ said since there's never been a Advanced Wars port, it wouldn't affect originality some much, but idk why yours is so varied.

Maybe it seemed a bit like The Impossible Game blended with

I think each vote got multiplied by 32.5 to use 300 as the highest in order to make the poll and judging 50/50

Sir got 8 votes, 300/8=32.5
