I have to say I think they finally got the hint. All's well that ends well, IMHO. It looks like their topics are more serious/non-spammy, yet they are still light-hearted and fun. That's what the goal was all along: still having fun and keeping the happiness alive, just making sure to follow the rules in the process. If they keep this up, they'll be working to prove to the mods that the unlock was not in vain.

Cobra: This is two times I've had to say it. Spammy posts are expressly forbidden in the Elite Guard Barracks. Please re-read our FAQ and pay close attention to the responsibilities of Barracks members. You are not to perform any action that puts the Barracks in jeopardy. As is evidenced by the NGPD lock, the mods are not keen on people performing spammy posts, no matter how short-lived the "stint" is. Please do not make me comment like this a third time, as it will not be as pleasant. You're an officer of the Barracks now, and your actions need to be more than just satisfactory as a member, they need to be exemplary and should be a role-model to others. We all know you're not a spammy user, and your experience in flagging shows you expertly know the difference between a spammy post and a non-spammy one. Therefore, there's no need to resort to it here. Having fun in our forums is fine, of course, but here it is expressly forbidden. Please keep this in mind for the future. Thanks!

-----

Anyway, I never liked ending a post on a sour note. So, I'll remind everyone that IRC is still running, and I invite everyone to chat it up! Also, I AM still working on my story, I promise. I've been busy lately setting up the IRC server and reconfiguring my netbook, but that's all past now, so I can concentrate on the story again. I'll hopefully get Chapter 6 out soon!

You're right, I guess I was just having a bit too much fun. I sincerely apologize for my recent behavior. It will not happen again Eagle.

Usually when I get caught up in a moment where energy is high and everyone's having a good time, I guess I somewhat forget that I need to cool my jets and transition from one thing to another. Spiffy was on the IRC last night, he, Ismael and I were having a good time and were just screwing around for the hell of it, and some of that behavior transferred into our thread.

Again, I deeply apologize for my actions, Supreme Commander EagleRock.

Well, let me state that "fun" is never an issue here...the whole friggin' point of Newgrounds is to have fun. I would just like the spammy posts to be kept down, which obviously you understand.

I understand fully. Of course, the IRC server and forums are at your full disposal to use as you wish (as long as your are not causing issue for others, of course), and any actions there are acceptable, as they are under my jurisdiction. However, the BBS is run by the NG moderators, and we are to abide by the rules and code of conduct. So, no worries.

Again, I deeply apologize for my actions, Supreme Commander EagleRock.

Accepted. You got the hint. And don't think I don't want you having fun around here, as that is a conflict of interest for what I created this place for. :-) Thanks for understanding!

I would like to try the IRC Server but I'm not sure if I understand how to install it, I'm not very keen on chat rooms I get nervous and not use them but still its sounds cool. Well for the past two days the awards for the Top Five have been hacked ,and stolen I think by the Duck Division. This is bad enough but on stealing the two awards was bad. There have both been deleted if you look http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1124 345 Number 4 was stolen and on the 22nd http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1124 084 Number 2. I don't know how I missed this guess better be on alert. Anyway off topic I love Fable 2.

Actually, they were just regular thefts, although one of them seems to be turning into a recurring appearence. Some moron is uploading stolen stuff (ala fileswapping-101), but instead of spam, he's changing it to the deleted Frankie Foster flash. I dunno if this is just some hilariously butthurt /b/tard trying to put his precious 30 seconds of crap hentai back on the site, or an attempt to get NG in trouble for hosting something they've been told to remove. Either way, it's doomed to failure, pointless award thefts or not.

In the submission agreement, it states that NG will not be held responsible for legal repurcussions resulting from of what you upload. Ergo; it's impossible to blame NG for having legally sensitive stuff uploaded to it, regardless of what it is, since you (by uploading it) have already made the legal claim that it's yours to upload. Therefore, those wanting to pursue copyright infringements will go for the original uploader, not Newgrounds.

Just a quick post asking for some help and I'm pretty sure this is the right place to come. :)

I plan on making a thread on general that is basically the same as the monthly writing competitions. Instead of the person winning money if their scripts places in the top 3 they are instead going to have their movie created by myself and a couple of friends.

So does anybody want to be a judge of this? I need someone who knows a good story when he/she reads one and someone that can be sure to stick with the process. Drop me a PM if you're interested.

Don't worry, it's pretty easy :)
If you want to get on irc, you should install a client first. I use mIRC which can be downloaded from here. Then you can follow this step by step guide to install it.

If you need any help, feel free to ask!

Game mentions en.flashwing.net but the submitting user seems to have no connection to that site, and no mention is made of a Newgrounds submission on

the game's official page

.

Also, KoF as I've played it uses a four-button rather than a six-button attack scheme, and the match I played had Guile's music from Street Fighter II. It's like someone at Flashwing made a Street Fighter clone with KoF characters. Just a perspective from an old fighting game player.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2009-11-24 16:24:59


Sorry to double-post, but stolen by the same dude, from the same place. A full version of the same game, this one even more blatantly Street Fighter. My first fight was Ryu vs. Ryu with Ken's music. That's right, they claim to make KoF in Flash, but it feels more like "Street Fighter II Flash: The SNK Invasion!"

Eh, I check the sign up date of TwistedLord, it happens to be 11/8/08 and he has a prior flash submission that checks out fine. Also, just because the game site says it was published 4/22/09, doesn't mean the author was just testing the water so to speak to see how people would like it. So after an extensive 7 month test, I guess he got the thought of putting it here. I wouldn't flag it. But that's just me.

A response to a comment on his first submission: "Yea the game was found from a website and they must have issues with the spelling at times" Doesn't that comment sound a little odd? Referring to the game as if it were someone else's work? Oh, wait, I'm pretty sure it is. Also, this response from v0.9 (of the more recent ones): "But remember i just download this type of game to get it." Sounds like a confession to me. I'll contact Wade about it later though, since right now I have something else to do.

Some other observations about this:

- In the flash, the opening scene says "videlectrix", that makes me think that the game is from here: http://www.videlectrix.com/videlectrix_c atalog.html
(also, note that in the author's userpage, there is no web displayed, and the author's email is from aol, which is pretty suspicious)
- Some of the author's older flashes are considerably worse.

I'd say he got the flash from videlectrix and uploaded it here.

And remember that we are supposed to vote the flash depending on its quality, whether it's stolen or not.
Anyway, the flash was flagged.

Hi there well as you can see lots of possible stolen flashes being reported, and I'm glad that the one EagleRock posted got flagged. You can see maybe about using irc which is a chat room I think so hopefully that explains idiot-buster. Thank you Ismael92 for your very helpful reply I looked and it looked like a Windows one I'm using a Mac. The portal been busy and I printed off a walkthrough for the game I'm playing on my XBox 360. Did not get the guide as the reviews on it looked not to good this was on Amazon.

Not exactly. You actually have to have a privite ranking or 2,500 b/p points, right now you have about 40; so you know how to do it. You also need to have some quality posts and bronze whistle to go along with it. Hope to see you back.

I'm not even sure that you understand what this club is for. We're not (by and large) a role playing club that models ourselves around being in the army. We're to do with the maintenance of the Flash Portal.

First of all, to join, you would need to be a Private Rank (2,500 Blam or Save Points, also known as B/P), plus a bronze whistle and some decent posts. Perhaps you could work on these before coming back to us.

Oh, and from what I've seen, CoD 6 is much better than Resistance on the X360, but when it comes to PC play, I'm not entirely sure.

Actually, to be honest, "Videlectrix" does not exist. It is a fake video game brand created by the Homestar Runner website (www.homestarrunner.com). Homestar Runner has been around for the longest time and is quite a fully site, too...once you get to know the characters a bit on there, the Strong Bad Emails are some of the funniest Flash animations you'll ever see. The whole Videlectrix thing started off because the author loves classic video games and he basically emulated that through Strong Bad, who was talking about "awesome classic games" like "Secret Collect" and other games that are basically Atari-like and involve a bunch of dots going around the screen.

I have a lot more background on these games, including the Strong Bad Email that "Stinko Man" is based on. I'll provide them if you guys want. Either way, I highly recommend checking out homestarrunner.com and start listening to the SBEmails...you will laugh, I promise.

If you're using a Mac like me, I recommend Colloquy. It's a free client for Mac, and it's arguably the best for the Mac OS platform. Joining my server with Colloquy is really easy too. Just click "New server" on the Connections window, enter your nickname, and enter "egbirc.eagleworld.net" as the server name. All the rest can be left alone. Once you're in the server, click "Join Room" and enter "#EGB". Enjoy!

Well, IRC can get boring with only a few people on. I want to try to get everyone to log in on a semi-regular basis, so that way whenever you join, we always have at least a few people on IRC. During the weekends or whenever everyone's off work/school/whatever, it'll be one big Barracks chatroom! So, assuming we get more people to join and help people like plantomlassuk and Sheizenhammer get on, we'll build up a nice userbase and make the server worth actually joining. It'll certainly be better than forcing everyone to use AIM and organizing a chat room every time we want to talk. Plus, we can create as many rooms in there as you like, so we can make private rooms, a warroom, and things like the #Violations channel (like I already created) for discussions on rulebreaking.

Oh yeah, one more thing: For people using XChat (like Sheizenhammer), I've posted step-by-step instructions on how to configure it on the EGB forums here.
