Truth be told, it's about an hour or two to get the stats pulled, input, analysed and presented.

That looks very hard to do, and it looks like you have it down to the dot. Your very good for doing those and you should feel very good that they look so good.

I just take the stats and show people trends. I took on that list, along with the Saves and Responses, simply because these lists were things that I was rated for and I felt that there were like minded people that wanted to talk stats with me.

Yeah, it's all to do with those insane blammers of yesteryear, when Blams were as easy to get then as Saves are today.

I think that's easier to enter than the Protect list because you don't have as many blammers as you do protectors. Pretty close to protect list too and I never knew it.

With the amount of Saves you can get on any given day, it's easier to get onto that list, than the Blams - we're seeing a lot less movement on the Blams list, as there's not many blammers in the top 150 that are still active.

Out of the 1.9 million accounts registered on NG, I'd guess that all of 1% are currently active with regards to ANY activity, let alone B/P (only about 250,000 accounts have any B/P values to their names at all). I get why the saves list would go faster than the blams list (it's just plain easier to find save-worthy stuff), but there's bound to be a lot of redundancy in most, if not all, the lists you could make involving NG accounts while making no mention of sign-up dates or any signs of life from them.

Then again, I don't spend anywhere near enough time on NG to ever be on any of those lists, so what do I know. Meh.

So, I thought I might as well get this out of the way, since I've been inactive for a good while now.

I'm resigning as the Chief Barracks Officer of the Elite Guard Barracks.

I wish I wasn't, but...my heart just isn't in it anymore, and spending a lot of time on something I don't feel heartily up for only succeeds in making my work sloppy, and I'd rather that not happen. I'm not resigning from the Barracks---just stepping down as leader---so if anybody needs any help regarding the EGB or the things we do (or Newgrounds in general, or whatever), I'm still completely available.

As my last act as commander, I make the following decree.

EagleRock, should he choose to accept it, is again instated as Chief Barracks Officer.
Phantom, should he choose to accept it, is again instated as the Lieutenant CBO.
RohantheBarbarian, should he choose to accept it, is moved from Emergency Command Officer to Second Lieutenant CBO.
And lastly, I will place myself as the Emergency Command Officer, in the event that balrogs kill all of the above.

I've also decided to keep up with the recruitment procedures for now, since scanning the thread a couple times a day isn't time-consuming. Should my inactivity become semi-permanent, EagleRock can choose a standalone Recruitment Officer or whatnot. I can still do the bi-annual EGB rollcall if need be, and can handle any clerical shit regarding officer changes, as well as questions regarding FAQ changes, forums stuff, whatever.

So yeah, better to quit without any major screw-ups than force myself to continue and end up doing everything half-assed. It has been an honor commanding you, and an honor to help fend off the pointless idiocy in the Portal. I'm back to being a soldier, and even if I do leave for good someday, Slash always returns.

Seriously, though - I do understand and respect your decision, and I know it was made with a heavy heart. But I do agree with you in principle: if you know you can't give a job your best effort because other things pull you away, then it is in the best interest of all to step aside and give someone else the reigns.

It will be good to see him more active in the barracks

Even if you didn't mention it, I'd have reappointed you the Recruitment Officer. Unless we magically have hundreds of new applicants day-by-day, it's the perfect role for you.

I sad to here this SlashFirestorm but I'm not to shocked as you say you have been thinking about this for a while. You have been absent but its better to resign then slog on if your hearts not it anymore, we will miss you but hopefully one day you will return salutes! Hope you do well and return sometime in the future. I don't think I would ever get on the top blammers list but hopefully my blam per save ratio is good. Good work there it was under admin review SlntCobra1. I brought Dead Or Alive 4 because I been watching movie based of games some of them are not to be Dead Or Alive movie from 2006 was pretty good ,although some do suck somewhat. I'm not into fighting games but I don't mind them I like Tekken and Soul Calibur.

It's sad to see this happen. But as other people have said, if you don't feel motivated to do this then there's no reason why you should still be the CBO. And anyway, you'll still be around if we need you so you won't disappear completely :)

Also, classes have finished over here. That means that I won't have to go to school for some months and I won't have any major responsibilities. So I will have more free time, even though surprisingly I have a life and I will spend time doing other stuff besides NG (so I won't be here 24/7), but I will certainly have less things in mind and I will spend more time coming here.

Not a lost cause, certainly.

^^This. I was thinking of the old portal mods idea a little while ago, and it came to me that if you could have a team of mods who could see who voted what on which flash (coupled with the ability to vote-ban people), it would make a lot of lazy statwhores think about their actions here.

Don't know why we have audio mods and art mods while not having flash mods, but the idea must've been brought up before, so there must be a reason why it's not a feature (yet).

The main problem there is that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps if we could convince more people to think a flash was going to be blammed, they would change their minds and their votes. Not that I'm encouraging people to vote to Blam stuff, more to vote for what it deserves.

Unfortunately, there's no real way of sending that message to everyone who doesn't realise / care. Reviews aren't for that, and mass-PMing people would just cause annoyance and little else (especially when you don't know who would benefit from such a PM).

Yeah, unfortunately, I've seen the trend shift due to certain regular Flash that get past the Portal that people will instinctively vote 2-5 on because they know the Flash series either has enough history to pass or has enough people behind it. As it were, this caused an eventual shift from a blam-happy NG like 2001-2003 was to a save-happy NG like 2007-present.

The main problem there is that it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps if we could convince more people to think a flash was going to be blammed, they would change their minds and their votes. Not that I'm encouraging people to vote to Blam stuff, more to vote for what it deserves.

I've been saying this for years. My whole contention is that by doing what we do here (promote unbiased, fair voting, no matter the person, Flash history, etc.), we are shifting towards a more neutral NG which does not have a preference towards blams or saves. The more people that do this, the more prevalent the fair voting comes into play. Let's remember that a Flash only gets 200 votes UJ, sometimes less depending on how high its rating is. The means that if we can get more and more to commit to fair voting, anyone trying to skew a Flash's vote to force a save/blam now needs to work harder. The more of us that commit..the more and more they will fail. Eventujally the general public will catch on and cause another global shift in voting habits, just like it did from blamwhoring to savewhoring.

Should we check to see if Rohan hasn't been eaten by one?
Either that, or he got kicked to death by his own horse.

I was always more of a Gondor lad ;)

Ouch...I am a LotR whore...and that joke hurt my brain. :-P

But yeah, if Rohan doesn't respond soon, I'll assume he's gone inactive and appoint someone else in the role, at least for now. Unfortunately, I know little about Rohan, but if Slash was willing to appoint him as Emergency Ops, I'm assuming he had a high opinion of the guy. Therefore, I'd like to give him a chance to respond to see if he's going to be active. Otherwise, I'll look to give the role to someone that plans to be more active.

Since you have a garbage whistle, you cannot flag Flash submissions anymore. The only way to improve your whistle is by flagging abusive reviews. Best thing to do is look at recent Portal entries and evaluate the reviews there. If you see blatantly malicious or abusive reviews, go ahead and flag them. Over time, you'll bring yourself back to a normal whistle level, and eventually hit that bronze. If you are unsure about something, don't whistle it. It's better to err on the side of caution than give yourself more negative flaggings.

As far as B/P, just keep at it. I'm sure you'll reach Elite Guard level in no-time. In the meantime, you might want to check out the NG Police Headquaters, as they will probably accept you and they can also help you wtih review flagging and polishing up that whistle. Hope it helps!

I also think that having an IRC server is a great idea! I have a lot of experience with IRC because I used to use it a lot in the past, and it's also very easy to use so no-one should have a problem with it.

Really? I thought that people with garbage whistle could flag flashes too... Weird... Anyway, EpicFail, since now places like Rage's thread don't exist anymore you'll have to go review hunting by yourself. Try to always look in low-scoring flashes (including the turd of the week), submissions by groups such as the DD or anything that can be considered hateful, and things that some people don't like (such as Foamy or anything that a certain group might dislike).

Anyway, if you have any doubt, we are always glad to help! If you have a question concerning reviews, you can always ask them in this thread. Happy flagging! ;)

I remember when I first signed up, it was almost exactly how it is now. Everyone had about a 3 to 1 blam to save ratio. Crazy how much things have turned around. Clock day '07 is to blame!! And I agree Coop. The standard of what is saveworthy has dropped a mile since those days. Or maybe it's stayed the same, and it's become easier to reach that level as flash has gotten better and tutorials are easier to find. Who knows?

Me too. I thought it was the same deal as reviews. You could flag all you wanted, but you were just along for the ride. Your whistle had no bearing whatsoever. You just guessed which ones were serious enough to get whistled and hoped that other people got them. I've never really heard much about the flash side of it though, so it's very possible he's right.

IRC sounds like an amazing idea! I'm totally down for that if you want to start it up eagle. I love how convenient it is.

Once I reach deity, I'll review hunt every now and again, but other than that I'm staying put.

I swear, I'm gonna strangle this software!!!!!!! Strangle? MORE LIKE FUCKING THROTTLE ITS ASS!!!!!

Sorry it's taken me a while to respond to this, the last few days have been more hectic than usual for me. Before I go any further, I'd just like to thank Slash for all he's done during his tenure as head of the Barracks, as well as the faith he placed in me even back when I was a relatively new member of the Barracks. Hopefully sometime in the future you'll be able to make a grand comeback, just look at Eagle. So yeah, sorry to see you step down, and thanks again man. Really.

Unfortunately, I know little about Rohan, but if Slash was willing to appoint him as Emergency Ops, I'm assuming he had a high opinion of the guy. Therefore, I'd like to give him a chance to respond to see if he's going to be active. Otherwise, I'll look to give the role to someone that plans to be more active.

Apologies again for not responding sooner Eagle. At the moment my situation is this; I have a pretty hectic schedule which basically sees me in college from 9.00-19.00 on pretty much a daily basis, plus given my course I have a lot of lab reports to due. However, with that said I generally still find time to deposit, and then check over the Barracks thread to see if there are any issues requiring immediate attention. So generally, I'm lurking every day, but in the last few months unless there's something pertinent to be said I've lost the motivation to post, and being one who's never posted for the sake of it as is, I probably come off as ridiculously inactive.

In a nutshell, with your blessing I'd be delighted to accept the 2LCBO position for the time being, and if the situation becomes untenable then I may reconsider my position.

Long time no see Coop :P When I stopped posting in the LUL I pretty much lost most of my motivation to post for the time being, unless it is something I really wish to say. As I've said before, I will be around more for Christmas, which will hopefully translate to more regular posting.

And lastly, I will place myself as the Emergency Command Officer, in the event that balrogs kill all of the above.

Should we check to see if Rohan hasn't been eaten by one?

Either that, or he got kicked to death by his own horse.

I was always more of a Gondor lad ;)

My horse wouldn't kick me, look at my horse, my horse is amazing!

Haha, thanks for the vote of confidence michelin, I appreciate it.

One last thing. While I do feel I can maintain the role of 2LCBO should Eagle be ok with it, I feel that perhaps the time has come to relinquish the post of NGPD Liaison Officer. I still lurk the NGPD occasionally, but not often enough, and I still shoulder some of the blame for their locking a few months back as I had promised Tails after the warnings to try and keep things in line. Had I been more active, maybe the whole mess wouldn't have happened.

Regarding my successor, I will leave to Eagle to decide who should assume the position, and how they should be chosen, but I'd like to put my two cents into the decision for what it's worth. There are a lot of great ex-NGPD members here, all of whom would make excellent Liaisions, but for his maturity, activity in NGPD affairs, and displaying his responsibility by maintaining their roster, should he want the position my choice would be Lizzardis. Now again, he may not want the role, or Eagle may feel that there's a better candidate, but Lizz has been a fantastic presence in both clubs and I feel he should be rewarded for his efforts.

Well guys, that's pretty much it. I've got to tear into some lab reports (as usual) but just keep in mind, I am around, and you can always catch me via PM.

Dammit! I have tons of intermission ideas but I can only do it once every five or so chapters!

Just hope I won't forget them all...or most at the very least.

Well, wait no longer, because the IRC server is up! Feel free to join and have fun!
The server name is egbirc.eagleworld.net, so join whenever you want! I've enabled multiple services, so check the motd for information!

Crazy how much things have turned around. Clock day '07 is to blame!! And I agree Coop. The standard of what is saveworthy has dropped a mile since those days. Or maybe it's stayed the same, and it's become easier to reach that level as flash has gotten better and tutorials are easier to find. Who knows?

I think it's a combination of both. Let's remember that back in the day Pico was top-notch Flash. Nowadays, Pico looks mediocre. So, the quality has gone up over time, and the amount of highly-competent artists have gone up, too. Also, like you said, Clock Day '07 started a trend of spamwhoring.

IRC sounds like an amazing idea! I'm totally down for that if you want to start it up eagle. I love how convenient it is.

Well, now that it's up, I hope to see some people signing on! So far, I've registered #EGB for regular chats and #Violations as our violations desk. Enjoy!

I know you're mad, but let's try to keep the anger out of the channel. I don't want spammy posts taking this place over and causing problems. If you need to rant/vent, you can use the forums to start your own personal bitch-fest. :-)

He certainly did a number of this place. Back in the day, when I'd be inactive for a couple of months, I'd come back and have a bunch of issues to resolve. Since I returned last, not a single problem was around. The guy knows how to run a tight ship. :-)

Apologies again for not responding sooner Eagle.

No apologies necessary. Life is full of personal issues to take care of, and I'd never blame someone for their personal life taking precedence over Newgrounds.

At the moment my situation is this; I have a pretty hectic schedule which basically sees me in college from 9.00-19.00 on pretty much a daily basis, plus given my course I have a lot of lab reports to due. However, with that said I generally still find time to deposit, and then check over the Barracks thread to see if there are any issues requiring immediate attention.

I've been there myself. I would spend all day and all night at college, starting at 8AM and only coming home around 10:30 at night after my last class. In the middle I'd either be working, studying, or doing whatever. Life is hectic, and I can certainly sympathize with your plight. Still I'm glad you find the time to post/lurk/deposit!

In a nutshell, with your blessing I'd be delighted to accept the 2LCBO position for the time being, and if the situation becomes untenable then I may reconsider my position.

Since you are lurking on a regular basis, I think the position would be good for you, as I am sure you'd be able to jump in in case myself or Phantom are not around. You have people vouching for you left and right, so I know you are the man for the job. :-)

Long time no see Coop :P When I stopped posting in the LUL I pretty much lost most of my motivation to post for the time being, unless it is something I really wish to say. As I've said before, I will be around more for Christmas, which will hopefully translate to more regular posting.

I'd never dare go back to the LUL..there are just way too many congratulations to keep up with :-P I love the idea of the place, but time is ultimately lacking for me there. :-)

My horse wouldn't kick me, look at my horse, my horse is amazing!

I'm not going to lick it. I don't care it if tastes like raisins.

I'd say that's a fair assessment of the situation. I'd agree that it is probably time to pass it onto someone that can be more active in the NGPD.

Regarding my successor...my choice would be Lizzardis.

Well, I think you hit the nail right on the head with that one. As you said Lizz is kind enough to manage their roster, and he is highly active with the NGPD as well as the EGB. I can't think of a more perfect person for the role at this time. His actions speak for himself. All that's left for him to do is accept. :-)

Well guys, that's pretty much it. I've got to tear into some lab reports (as usual) but just keep in mind, I am around, and you can always catch me via PM.

*salutes*

Slash has already taken the liberty of adjusting the official roster, but I will just wait on Lizz accepting the NGPD Laison role before updating the roster there as well. In the meantime, check out the new IRC! I'll bring cookies!
