I told you I'm not an artist - I can't really do original work. What I was trying to do is see what kind of image we're looking for. I just threw this together so we can get some ideas where to go. That's why I'm not on backgrounds - I can't draw to save my life. I'd like to learn, but I don't even have a tablet. I'm sure your original hand-drawn work will be far better than this. Please don't take it as a personal affront.

No disrespect intended, but do we need to have a sign saying "SlashFirestorm Commander"? I mean, it's great while the place is running well, but if something fucks up, it does tend to point the blame straight at him saying "This is all his fault", knowing full well, that if anything he's going to be the one trying to restore order.

I see your points. But I would think that if we have been established for 4+ years, we might have set up a more permanent base camp beyond a tent? As for what's on the sign - hey, it's a sign, we can make say whatever we want. If you don't want to put Slash's name on it, that's cool. Remember, this was just a concept, and I expected some feedback - but it does make everyone think "yeah, that's close, but" or "What the hell is she drinkin?" or "nope, not quite". That's all good. Let's get the creative juices flowing!

Cool pic, but yeah I think it may be too rustic (as Coop says, I'd expect some sort of bigger establishment). Nice try though!

Actually, it does, because if you're constantly checking the EGB to see the latest activity, you will probably read the thread and be online a lot longer than you would if you had nothing to read here.

I didn't thought about it, but I have to admit that you may be right. While on NG, I would probably spend much more time in the EGB thread (though still it doesn't mean I would be online for more time).

What's your verdict?

Yea, I agree, it is just useless to upload nothing but a black screen, I see no point in doing something like that.

Well, it doesn't matter too much, but look at the NGPD. It's way more active than the Barracks now, and the rate of flashes you see that they catch a day is a lot higher. Not saying they're better, but just saying, they're less lax than we are now about telling others about malicious flashes and whatnot.

I'm going back to the Portal now.

Considering what inevitably happens when the NGPD gets, uh, really active, I'm not exactly pushing to emulate that.

Hey, how does this look to y'all?

Yes I know I don't have the NG Tank, so just bear with it for now

This is just a mock-up.

Eh, not always, it's just a few users who don't know how to control themselves. I think a little play is good, as long as it isn't breaking the rules of NG, or obstructing the work in the organization you're in. Unfortunately, not so long ago . . . Well, you know what happened. Now that it's solved though, I think they make a pretty good example . . . for now.

That's an interesting idea for a pic, btw. What's all this going into?

Oh, wouldn't you like to know?

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! TOP SECRET CIA, FBI, SBI, Secret Service documents here. NO LOOKY LOOKY!!! IF YOU LOOKY, YOU GET DUNGEONY!!! jk jk jk

I'll probably filly you in later, it's 2 am here on the East coast.

Yea, tell me where the upload picture button is on the EGB forum and I'll gladly do it.

FYI, I'm being sarcastic.

I would if I could Lizzardis, but alas there's no damn upload picture/browse... button in the forums. Slash must've forgotten to encode that when he was making the site. >_> So until there's an upload button, the EGB here on NG will have to do.

Firstly, it's invisionfree, so all I did was set some options and customize a few things. Secondly, the "file attachments" box below the post box should let you upload .jpegs or .gif's under a meg in size. For larger images or .pngs or whatever, try a photo hosting site like Photobucket and [img]url of image[/URL] it.

Incidentally, non-business banter is fine here, but if it get anywhere, anywhere near what the NGPD had at the time of their final warning from the mods, e-heads will roll. For long and involved discussions, use the forums (if these flash ideas or EGB imagery things get much longer, for example). And, of course, only report flash you highly suspect is stolen/malicious---remember that it's better to let something questionable pass judgment and report it later than to rush and wrongly flag something.

Remember that this the Barracks, not the NGPD or any other group, and we maintain certain standards of intelligence regardless of the topic (as in no "lol fruit rape" crap will ever have a place here). Be friendly, but don't behave like a moron.

How about uploading them to some image uploader? I used Imageshack for the images i used there
And this is not an art forum, while major images of final work can be put in here, putting all the process of the image here is not a good idea at all...

There is no upload button, because EGB forum wasn't exactly for that

Meant to say this:

Hard to switch between HTML and BBCode sometimes...

The perspective is screwed up - try working out where you want to view the image from, as it's conflicting at the moment. The side wall comes up too much for the perspective, so that needs to be sorted before adding extra details

Ha! It wasn't a few users! If anything it was most of the active ones! SC, Krev, Brick-Top, SpiffyMasta and another.

Okay . . . Then several, lol. I really didn't see anything too bad about that, other than the pineapple ass rape, but then again, I kinda didn't really read through all of it, so I had virtually no clue what was going on.

An EGB flash. Go here for more info.

Ah, thanks for the info.

Also, I totally agree with Coop on what he just said, lol.

This guy joined yesterday, and has submitted 3 decent flashes so far..

There are 3 possibilities:
+He has a large back catalog.
+He can produce flash exceptionally fast.
+He is a fraud.

What do you think?

Now, evidently I've been away from the thread for a while, since all of a sudden the Portal-centricness of the Barracks is evidently way down again. With so few spammers left, seems nothing's going on there... It's better, I guess, but I'd still like to see some action in that region again, instead of just a stream of "same old, same old" stuff. Actually, I kinda just want to see some familiar faces in the Portal: people I know from the BBS, or maybe people I've seen Flash from before. All I see anymore is unknowns though... Until today.

IOSYS Flashes recently began appearing on NG, and I smell a rat. See, there's absolutely no mention of Newgrounds on the IOSYS OS main page, nor on the link page, nor in the blog (it's all in Japanese, but Newgrounds would be in English if it was there, and if a banner was put up for it the tank logo would still be recognizable). The IOSYSOS account signed up with a gmail.com e-mail account, rather than an e-mail from iosysos.com. Just bringing it to people's attention that there might be a thief hanging around... What's with all the stolen Touhou stuff, anyways? First the Final Test thing I caught of BlankScreen's, then something similar submitted by one "xXxDeidarAxXx", now this...

Basically the amount of:
~ "OMG PINEAPPLE ASS RAPE"

I'm glad I had a length of posts, upwards of five to ten in a row, where all I would do was discuss stolen flash/whistle-able flashes in each one, and nothing else within that post. And I'm damn proud of that.
Also kind of proud that when going off-topic, I wasn't insulting or +1'ing. Always tried my best to rep the EGB after I ranked out of their Rooster and was still allowed to post there.

:D

Same here, but some didn't really see it that way. Oh well, what're ya gonna do?

It does indeed sound like something fishy is going on with that guy. A reasonable course of action would be to PM this user, ask him to verify his identity (by, say, adding a mention of Newgrounds to his blog or the site's link page), and give him a week to respond. If he doesn't respond favorably, turn over your findings to WadeFulp and let him deal with it.

I'll go ahead and take care of that personally, since it's been a while since I got my hands dirty, lol.

Yes not as much spam as before SoulMaster71 but Chris Beer has submitted flash which broke the rules the same garbage over and over. I think the latest TOTW may have been stolen he keeps making new accounts and breaking rules. http://crbzk.newgrounds.com/. Also Gender-LessHooker and FF have been busy. But not as bad as a few months back. I did a Google of his name and the website you linked came up but he may have copied the name still some of his comments looked odd still good idea to PM him SlashFirestorm. Also NGDD is active again.

Besides SoulMaster's comments, if he doesn't respond according to Firestorm, he could possibly be all 3. Giving him a week might be too much time; suppose he responds and it's just a front? All we can do is wait, I suppose.

Well, I submitted a flash about two days ago, if that counts. : /

IOSYS Flashes recently began appearing on NG, and I smell a rat.

Yeah, I highly suspect those are stolen, in light of the fact that the site is in japanese, and the account that is submitting these flashes is from Gmail. Keep an eye on them.

Anyways, I'm going to get back to the portal now. I need to catch up to the rest of the B/P'ing world.

Well... it seems that everything has cooled down over at the Police so we'll be opening our doors to the elite guards once again. I apologize to anyone here who frequents the NGPD for the inconvenience. Thanks for all your patience and cooperation.

Sorry about this, I meant IOSYSOS is a thief, but that steal doesn't change anything does it?

Doesn't change anything (we knew your reference), but before those movies went to YouTube they were made by the real IOSYS in full-quality .swf format. Best example: in Sansuu Kyoushitsu, you'll notice the (9)s in Cirno's eyes ("Cirno" is the usual Western spelling, though "Chirno" is closer to the pronunciation from what I've heard) in the Flash, while the YouTube version, due to compression-related quality loss, lacks such detail.

Final proof of theft, the man's own admission on each of his Flashes. "I'm just a fan of Touhou and IOSYS, I'm uploading for your entertainment~!"

Also, OK, evident return of the KK is one thing, might even be good if they've turned fully to better Flashes, but a clearly stolen Flash movie is now featured on the front page of Newgrounds! While even before this incident it was one of my favorite Flash movies, and I can certainly understand the dude's desire to spread the joy of Touhou and of the IOSYS Flashes... Grr, now I'm pissed.

Damn KK, oh well. In other news, I got out of my third traffic ticket via driving school. Wow, Thankfully no one recognized me and thank God I didn't have to deal with the "Three strikes you're out" policy that lies within the Criminal Justice system.

Sure, I'd be happy to do it for you Lizzardis.

I'm currently depositing for Puddin. :( I don't like depositing for people, but I always end up having to do it for some reason. XD

Anyway, submitted a new flash. Like I said I can only do the very basic things with sprites so if I did the basic stuff like I did in this and everyone else chipped in with zooms, pans, other details, etc.. then it may turn out well.

Anyway, very generic and very mediocre, but if you guys don't mind my work then I'll get to work on the EGB flash as soon as I get the backgrounds and sprites.

Chill Lizzardis, I helped Corky a few days ago by depositing for a few others because he has dial-up(poor guy) and I have hi-speed Wi-Fi, he asked a favor from one EGB member to another and trusted me not to go fucking with anything. So I did just that, I deposited and noting more.
