Elite Guard Barracks stats:
_24,077 : Revewing Population
___,752 : Reviewing Average : : : : : : : - _51

This stat caught the most attention from me because since the Barracks is so closely tied with the portal and flash animations, you would think this number would be well over 1,000.
But instead were barely 3/4 there, and if it wasnt for ~X~ the average would only be 339!. By next saturday I would like to see signs of improvement, an average of 1,000 is something I want the Barracks to have.

Actually I might just do that, this "Afro" thing is causing some confusion for me.

See on my alt, previously known as major_alt, I changed to Major_punk to hold onto the name but I woke up this morning and logged onto Major_punk thinking it was my main and grabbed at least 10 b/p points with it and didn't realize what I was doing until I came to the "post a message" screen and I had to confirm I read the rules which only happens on your first post etc etc.

I'm an idiot.

Am I to understand that our Barracks averages have all dropped since page 77? Sheesh.

Yep, that's exactly what it means unfortunately. The loss of high stat users such as Sekky, TITROTU, Domnikathor and NewgroundsSPG in such a short period of time was simply too much.

End of day report: 108 b/p,
I noticed your daily average went from around 60 B/P a couple months ago to a 100 B/P now. What happened?

Kept my stick on the ice ;)

Ok, thanks. It'll be a while before I can do that, but I am going to keep depositing. It's a bit less then a month till I hit level 10, yay. The portal has been slow today, but thats just because its a weekday. I was sick today, thats why I am not at school. Amazingly, I was allowed to use the computer, usually when I'm sick I stay in bed reading all day.

So maybe I will gain more then 10 b/p today, lol, I haven't been b/ping much lately, but today I am. I saw a stolen movie, but it was already flagged when I tried to get at it. Dang, if only I had seen it before I went to eat my soup, lol.

Happy blamming everyone! (and protecting)

I'll have to capture the ten K moment and the 9999 moment... once thing at a time. While voting on the moths best flashes I of course saw some really good ones... I loved the game, dragon wizard ( one of my favorites and is on my favorites ). And I saw most of the flashes, I of course gave nice spot to PLADIN because I love-Jazza-... there are so many good ones I couldn't help wanting to vote on them all...

Yes, but if he has HER in the picture, it will prove. Also, if he takes a picture of her on Newgrounds, that's all we really need to see. We know what she looks like based on hot_and_charming's profile, so we have a gauge to base it off of.

well, it's all very easy. sometimes i deposite for him. but when i'm surfing the BBS as well, it can happen that i forget to log out and check back in my account. So yesterday i posted with sizzler's account. When i realised my mistake i quickly changed the nick to -nimmer- so DoD wouldnt be confused , and know who replied to him. Now that enough ppl read (and quoted) it, i gave sizzler his name back. this way you can prove show the original author of the post by the quotations.

Makes sense to me, sir. I must say it did make it easy to understand it was you, and was a great plan. Thanks for that explanation, sir!

That is a good point...I must say, I would agree to this. It will be very hard for me, as I rarely get time to do stuff on NG other than Portal protection and posting here. However, I will do my best.

Yayness, thanks to everyone for commenting on the list.

I did it a lot faster then I thought I could, definately way faster then the first list. So now that I know this I will try to update a lot more, I didnt know it was possible to do it this fast, I thought I would have had to finish it today.

Hehe I guess I forgot to change my name on the list and Afro_punk's. I didnt even think about it so I am not sure what I would have done.

And yes, I have slowed down quite a lot in B/P. I get all I can in my spare time but sometimes that just wont cut it haha ^_^.

Expect me to post here more too haha O=).

nimmer, your your first post here about here is so freaking funny that I almost fell down from the chair because of laughing. (I am still laughing so badly) :D:D:D Salutes while laughing. I have not had such a great laugh for a long while, thanks. sir. You know, I could argue with the doubters for the rest of my life if I wiish. But I just don't want to look like an idiot. So I guess it is the time to ignore what the doubters say and focus more on contritubing to the Barracks since the fact will not change regardless what they say.. For those who know me, you should know that I am very hardcore, call me a flame dragon if you like. But hey, nimmer's post is so funny, (still laughing) which makes him a cool dude. Salutes!

A falme dragon flame a lot, right? You see, I am very hardcore, so I flame a lot too when I am pissed. Just kidding, lol In fact, other people at Duke call me flame dragon. Dragon is the symbol of China, I am Chinese. So I guess that the nickname fits me. ;)

I'm pretty sure the worst they could do is spam up our recruitment section, as I :believe: that's the only place guests can post.
The NGPD continues to get attacked by people who don't have lives. Good luck in dealing with it, and remember that if they return to the NG thread, ignore them.

Besides, as a 18/7 mod those posts won't go far... Check it out, I'm he only one logged on at all times. Since barracks members are mostly civilized mods aren't really needed but with cases like this I'm gonna put my delete power to good use as a temporary setback while EagleRock banns them.

BTE: EagleRock, I never saw a ban option in the mod options, is that a pure admin thing there?

2). I wasn’t there when the DoD thing happened but I would like to at least give him the benefit of the doubt because I the dumbest thing I’ve ever done was to make a single B/P point on another account while depositing for some one else. Ever since when I’m a point away from a new rank it really pisses me off… I don’t think DoD would do something equally as stupid and with more points… I do give the benefit of the doubt.

Well i deposite points on other multiple accounts even before i became EGSC because i knew i'ld hit it sooner or later. and that in my case it was more important to hit it as when io hit it. but as you, i give him the benefit of the doubt. but not because i gives good arguments, cause he doesn't. just because the arguments made against him don't do the trick neither

The slowing of the Portal is starting, but we're still at DEFCON 3. We'll see what happens over the next couple of hours.

Unregistered users cannot post in our forum. We require people to sign up in all locations but the recruitment forum. The recruitment forums is easy enough to manage, and I know how to ban people. Trust me...I have our forums well under control.

Hence why you are the moderator, sir. I can easily ban people if necessary. I ask you to NOT delete the malicious posts, but rather PM me so I have the ability to ban them. If you delete the posts, the evidence goes away. At least make sure one post from each spam session stays. If that is done, it will make my life easier.

BTE: EagleRock, I never saw a ban option in the mod options, is that a pure admin thing there?

Just an admin thing.

I believe EagleRock meant to say you were acting like an asshole. “Don’t shoot the messenger!”

Hell no. When he said "are you threatening us," that is what was the similarity. Cornholio said "Are you threatening me?" a lot, which was my reference.

I hope noone was confused by my statement.

This has been a few weeks in the planning but i'm gonna try to keep this short:

Due to lack of duty on my part, I have decided it is time to step down from Barracks Records Officer.

I'm passing on the officer position to EG Second Lieutenant harryjarry (afro_sauce).
Lately he has been doing all the gritty work and a fine job of it I might add, so it's only reasonable he should have it.

He has already accepted the position over a week ago when I first offered it to him so theres no need to hold your breath for his response, it's official now.

I still plan to regularly update the Barracks averages once a week also, mostly because there easy to do and I enjoy them. =)

Lately he has been doing all the gritty work and a fine job of it I might add, so it's only reasonable he should have it.

I would definately agree. He has done excellent rosters lately, as it seems that you have imparted all your excellent techiques to him. I have no doubt the new rosters will continue to be just as good as they always have been.

He has already accepted the position over a week ago when I first offered it to him so theres no need to hold your breath for his response, it's official now.

Now wait just a damn minute...no officer's position is official without MY APPROVAL!

...okay, I approve. :-)

Actually, the First Lieutenant addressed me in private on this matter, and I have been in support the whole time. Even if he didn't, such a recommendation from a respected Officer like First Lieutenant Major_punk would be hard to ignore. Congratulations!

I still plan to regularly update the Barracks averages once a week also, mostly because there easy to do and I enjoy them. =)

It would be great to have you stick around and do that, sir. If you want, I would be prepared to have you keep your Records Officer position, but have you become the Lieutenant Records Officer while harryjarry takes on the Chief Records Officer position. If not, I understand either way.

Either seek help, or get another hobby, okay Praporshchik? If 120B/P a day isn't good enough for you, I don't know what to say. If I were you, I'd take up a hobby that is more inclined to perfectionists.
