HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
Sooo tired...
I was with my girlfriend yesterday. As I was driving back home after dropping her off at her house (9pm EST) I was like "I know something special was happening this weekend. I wonder wh- OHSHTCLOCKDAY!"
Even after missing every submission before 10pm, I still clocked in about 50 points between 10pm and 1am EST. I wish some more of the BB stuff hadn't made it through. Admins will have quite a time rummaging through the crap...

I gained around 76 saves wish Clock day was still here.
Archer I'm a good shot!
Good catch Phantom, I just blew my whistle, and speaking of whistles, I think it would be neat to have a whistle sound effect play every time we blow our whistles. That would liven up the portal a bit, don't you think?

Blow my whistle baby...
"As the old saying goes...what was it again?"
Now see, that's what Clock Day used to be way back when. Quality, hilarious submissions and not a whole shitload of mass saving.
I recommend y'all watch this if you haven't already done so, it's a riot.
Well, clock day was fun. I had 176 b/p points in total this year, much less then my 800+ last year. I i had things to do that had a greater importance then passing crap all day. Oh and i had 9 blams this year, what about you Coop?
Your had to ask him didn't you Buster?! Crap, ah well.
On an unrelated note, check out what is in the portal: lolwut?

There are several good submissions. If you think you may have missed something, go to the frontpage! You'll find something good there. I also liked this one:
Actually I like the whole series, I'm waiting for it to get it's own collection.

Well actually that's pretty easy to do. Just go to your account settings and choose "your" as your first name and "mom" as your last name.
Hai Gaiz, I'm a private courtesy of Clock Day. Been working down at the Portal for 2 full years. And am just curious if it's my place here. So may I enlist?

I'm digging the gold whistle and Private status, your flash is pretty good, and you're helpful to others trying to learn actionscript, not bad. Not bad at all. The only real deterrent for me is that most your posts seem not quite up to par. Still, nonetheless, I'm sure you'll be great for the EGB!

Hey guys, my name is michelinman. I'm 20 years old, and I'm a Pisces. I enjoy long walks on the beach, a walk through the park on a nice sunny day, and a good sandwich every now and again. Yellow teeth are a major turn off. I have ADHD, and I make intricate, random posts that don't correspond with anything going on like this one. I hit private this morning and I'm eager to join the EGB. I've been very active in the NGPD for the past month, and I'll be honorably discharged later today. I'm ready to make the step up and join the barracks now. If you vote for me EGB members, all of your wildest dreams will come true. Look forward to hearing back.
Nice to have you show interest in the EGB Mich. I do believe that you had just been accepted into the NGPD right before the big blowup. That and I've seen you in the Poozy Sig parody thread. I think you'll do just fine in the preliminary investigation.
Hey guys, back from a ban.
lul
So, clock day was a disappointment, considering over 200 flashes were constant spam and not clock related at all. But like religion, it brought us all together. HA!
Anyway, picture below shows my stats, I went to bed shortly after this was taken. Still pretty good for b/p.
Unsuitable Submission
This submission contains age-rated material and requires an account to view.
Another day another spam.

You've got no blam/protect points. You need to have 2500 and a bronze whistle to be allowed in this club. If you're serious about it, the
Newgrounds Police Department will accept you once you have 400 B/P points up until you hit 2500. The way you earn BP points is stated here. UJ flashes are the ones that are purple in the just submitted column. I'm not a member here yet, I'm still pending, so if anyone else says something different, listen to them, but I'm about certain that's how it works. Hope you're serious about it. :)
DD, were you one of the guys that got banned for posting those pics in the stickam thread? That shit was funny. Haha. And does Slash get on very often, or is it usual to wait a few days?

No, I got banned for responding to the wrong people.

He pops in occasionally, every few days. The more patient you are, the faster he comes :3

Sorry about the delay, heh. I've been busy with very nerdy things. Commencing stage one now:
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.
