While we appreciate your enthusiasm, general membership for this club requires a rank of private or better (2,500+ B/P points) and a silver whistle. May we recommend that you first start with the NGPD, as they work with newer members of Newgrounds, and you can begin to build up your experience there.

Thank you for your inquiry - when you've levelled up, please contact us again.

So that's what that music was...
I tried playing it and got up to the second rotation of colors (~40 times) and I accidentally clicked the outside of the buttons so I failed. Anyone beat the game yet?

This video is excellent! I love the simplicity used with it, but I can't help but feel that it was stolen.

For one, it was made in 2005.

Another point is the website which it should be hosted,

blue2.net

is gone, and the creator was called, "Zackhix."

You're right, it really does not look legit.

Here's another ZackHix animation: http://www.stickpage.com/armsplay.shtml

I don't think the user that posted the copy you posted is capable of that polished animation. I'm holding out on whistling, though.

Also, this author seems to be reuploading the exact same game to see if he can't get a better score:

I always though it was at least a Bronze Whistle. It's what I had when I was accepted, anyway. Have the requirements been raised?

Not that I remember. When I joined up those were the requirements I faced as well. Even with the bronze whistle, Glides is far from being accepted. His rank and whistle is too low. By the way, speaking of B/P and whistles, where is the August roster? I would like to see how much I've improved :)

Welcome! I'm Slash Firestorm, the Recruitment Officer and Commander of the Elite Guard Barracks, and I'll be guiding you through the recruitment process. Here's how it works.

First, I will present you with the shortened code of conduct for the Barracks, along with links to the relevant FAQ's on our forums. You must read them, understand them, and post here again confirming that you accept those principles. A simple "yes, I agree" will be sufficient. This process serves two purposes:

1) Ensuring that you're not a "drive-by applicant" who asks to join and then never comes back, and

2) Ensuring that you know how we operate so there won't be any complications in the future, such as "wait, we're not supposed to be mass voting?".

After you agree to the code of conduct, the Barracks community will discuss your qualifications and decide whether to allow you into the group. Our requirements aren't too strict; beyond the main qualifications of 2500+ B/P and a Bronze Whistle or better, we'll be looking for sufficient post quality (low number of one-liners, intelligent posts that contribute to the topic), helpful reviews, any potentially problematic flashes, stuff like that. After discussion and a vote, I'll make the final call and PM you with the results. Assuming that no objections are raised, the process usually takes a day or two.

Here is our abbreviated Code of Conduct. Read it, learn it, and post again with confirmation of your understanding. If you can't abide by these principles, say so.

*****

1. Voting fairly.

This is the foundation of the Elite Guard Barracks. All members are expected to give every flash a fair vote, regardless of who made it or what their group affiliations are. We do not target any flash group, not favorably or in opposition; our only enemies are those who break the rules of the site, not those who merely bend them.

Everyone has a different definition of quality, and all members are expected to vote based on what they honestly feel a flash deserves, not on whether they think the flash will pass or be blammed. While Barracks members are proud of their high ranks, and are eager to compete with others, a high B/P score means nothing if achieved through petty point-whore voting, and any member who admits to doing so will be removed from the organization.

2. Stopping Portal abuse.

Numerous stolen, malicious, and unsuitable flash are submitted to the Flash Portal every day, and it is our job to ensure that as many of them are removed as possible. Members are expected to report any suspicious flash to the Barracks, including any evidence or doubts that they might have, and only whistle something if they are sure, beyond a reasonable doubt, that it is whistle-worthy.

Just as with B/P, points mean nothing if achieved through inappropriate means. There should be no blind rush to whistle a flash that is merely suspected of wrongdoing; it's better to let an uncertain case go by rather than wrongly whistle an innocent submission. If evidence of wrongdoing is discovered after a flash passes judgment, we can always (and will always) inform Wade of our findings.

In the case of a beyond-reasonable-doubt rulebreaking flash, members are encouraged to share their results with the Newgrounds Police Department and the Newgrounds Department of Defense.

3. Cleaning up the review system.

Members are expected to be familiar with the review guidelines and whistle abusive reviews when they come across them, and report severe cases of abuse to a review mod. Additionally, members are expected to write helpful reviews, offering constructive criticism and remaining civil even when the author refuses to do so. We must set a good example for other Newgrounders, in hopes that they will improve their own reviews as well.

4. Setting an example for others to follow.

Barracks members are expected to post intelligently, contributing to threads rather than merely dropping a one-liner opinion on it. Flaming, spamming, and other ban-worthy behavior is strictly prohibited, and extreme misbehavior will lead to removal from the EGB.

Members are also expected to act civilly towards all Newgrounders. You are expected to be helpful and patient when dealing with newer members, whether simply showing them the FAQ or explaining more complex concepts that they do not understand. Concepts such as fair voting, intelligent posting/reviewing, and keeping an open mind are essential for newer members to learn, and we are just the ones to teach them.

For those with more experience, you are expected to show respect and understand that they may, in fact, know more about Newgrounds than you do, even if you're a seasoned veteran. This applies both to fellow Barracks members and Newgrounders in the general population.

Members are expected to put reasonable effort into any flash or audio submissions, and be careful with who they become Portal Buddies with. We are quite generous with our definition of reasonable effort; examples of unacceptable submissions would be static images, single frames, ridiculously small loops, or purposefully bad music. Anyone submitting rulebreaking content would, obviously, be removed from the Barracks and reported to Wade.

5. Not starting shit.

As mentioned above, the Barracks has no enemies beyond those who break the rules of the site. Our roster has included current and former members of various flash groups, including the Clock Crew, Barney Bunch, and Kitty Krew, and we are open to anyone willing to follow our principles. Barracks members are expected to be civil to others and not start fights, and anyone found to be starting shit with anyone, even if they deserve it, will be removed. You are representing the Barracks with your actions, and if your actions do not reflect our principles, you will not be a part of the organization.

6. Remaining active with the group.

Barracks members are expected to remain reasonably active in the thread, as well as with their duties. Those who are inactive for long periods (months) may be removed from the roster at any time, and rollcalls are occasionally sent out to all members to determine who is active. Members who expect to be inactive for some time due to IRL reasons (such as school, employment, vacation, etc) should inform the Barracks in advance.

Hello there I think as long as you post fairly often its okay lots of users are inactive for months, and when say we have an PM asking if we are still want to in the Barracks then we reply back. If not then you get let of the list and have to rejoin. You see in EGB we have a monthly Roster of who has the most b/p so if your still on the list its okay. Sorry if that is confusing. I love you level by the way level 33 two levels higher then me.

Anyway sorry I only seem to post stolen stuff I have preoccupied lately by my console. I cant decide for sure If i want another XBox 360 because there seems to more games on that console, that I cant get on my PS3 but I'm worried about getting another duff one again with the RROD.

Hmmm, ok well I guess I'll give it a shot, I agree to the terms and conditions!

P.s. The 360 is definitely way better for online play (even though it's $50 a year) because it has more and better games. As far as RRoD concerns go, you have a 3 year automatic warranty from the RRod and the E74 error, so if you happen to get either of those you get a free repair if you ship it to them. It'll probably take a few weeks to fix and get back to you but hey, it's still free for that. Haha

Is it just me or have we been a bit off topic as of late... about half of the last page was full of conversation about a good breakfast or something. To me this place seems like it is full of meny new members and the old memebers are going away slowly. Because i can say at the begining of the year there were about 4 or maby even more memebers that are really not that active anymore. Alot of the users who post alot were not here posting at the begining of the year.

Just saying so.

Barracks members can go to the appropriate thread for discussion and voting. Remember that you must be logged in to view/vote/post, and speak now or forever hold your peace.

Partially my fault, as I haven't been as active in the past month or so. With Clock Day less than two weeks away, and the next housekeeping session (including the bi-annual EGB rollcall) next month, that'll be changing soon.
