161 points not bad today I got around 132 points (would have been more but I watched two DVD's I got for my birthday so I missed out). Looks like I'm getting my new rank by tomorrow...well today and I'll most likely submit a audio later today and I would like it if you all vote and review it (good or bad).
Well I'm calling it a day see you, guys later today.

DEFCON Update:

The Portal has no signs of slowing down, causing the DEFCON to remain at DEFCON 3 overnight for the second night in a row. Quite the busy Portal for this time of the year!

Jeez...only about 130 here. I was out for many hours today and missed a whole bunch of flash. Oh well.

True, the mafia was locked once long ago but it was unlocked so there is no reason to blame the barracks especially with the high level of posts we maintain...

Yes, but if we keep playing along with these people that keep making these copycat clubs, it'll be a black mark on the Barracks. My point is not so much that we have a problem right now, but I want to stop it before it starts. Also, sir, I would like to thank you for your actions here.

*salutes, stands at attention*

At ease, Police Lieutenant.

I just recently quit my duty as a NGPD officer, due to some of it's members actions and plans, and I don't think I will go back until they start going the other way. But I still want to become a member of the Barracks whenever I reach my first EG rank, and I was wondering if I could still join no matter if I wasn't a NGPD member at the time of my request. I will await patiently for my answer.

Well, Lieutenant, you have shown that you are not in accordance with the NGPD's current behavior patterns, which means a lot here. Since you are lacking a place to stay right now, please find a bunk in the Barracks that you find to your liking. You can stay here as long as you want until you either return to the NGPD or finish your Elite Guard training. While I cannot make you a member yet, I can authorize you to post here on a regular basis. Even though you are not a member, you are an official recruit here and call this place your home.

I know that you along with most of the Elite Guards support the NGPD, but I felt it was then the right time to leave, even if it is for a short while.

Thank you, Phantom, you know you can always count on me, and I know I can always count on you. I hope I reach my Private rank soon, and I promise you I will do my best as an EG. For now, good bye. I will see you soon, friends and officers.

You don't have to leave, Lieutenant, as I said earlier. Having a good potential recruit like you hang around will be a good thing. However, do as you wish.

Thank you, Chief Barracks Officer, sir. It boosts my confidence (although many people have said that it is too high alread) knowing that I'll be a full-time EG soon enough. If you could be so kind as to explain to me why my opinion is so important here, I would appreciate it, sir. Sadly, as of now I don't see a future with me and the NGPD, much less the NGPD as a whole at all. I really do hope they change their ways. I will make my stay here enjoyable and important, I'll be giving my complete best to qualify as a member and as a friend to you all.

Very much, sir. The respectable and friendly welcome I received fortify my beliefs of this being a great club even more. I thank you for your time and your concern.

I've decided to join the other Trainees and call this place home (although I already live in an extravagant and heavily-fortified mansion already :-), and give my complete potential to becoming a great Elite Guard, and a NG member.

Sir, yes, sir! *swoons*

I think I should go to my bunk, sir, if you don't mind. I feel quite dizzy and weak.

How dare you, every one here has a voice and a voice to be heard, plus you are once of the few active cross club members. Like me, Red, K-Pingu and _TheFallenOne_. You with me have knowledge of all 3 clubs. Even more so because you were a part of the NGPD which I wasn't because by the time it opened I was no where near their levels... Your voice has plenty of power, just like any one else.

Every one freeze NOW. I was just as the barracks forums and what cruel joke was it to remove the logo? EagleRock? I'm sure you have a good reason but sharing is recommended.

That's ok, we all have those kind of days which we are buried by works. :P As long as you keep on b/ping every day, your rank up fast at this stage, sir. I started to b/p every day at the beginning of January, 2005. By then, I was just a level 7 user. (I pretty much laid off in the fast two months.) Guess what? I promoted to EGSS when I became a level 10 user. What am saying is that as long as you b/p every day, you will get your promotion soon. I am positive that you gained more than 100 points yesterday which would give your weekly average a huge lift. I am also sure that you will have a nice b/p day again tomorrow. ;) On a side note, I have 4000 experience points now. :D Salutes!

I'm sorry, I think I need to re-state my question. How does my opinion of the NGPD's current state mean so much in here? Is it that you agree, disagree, or anything else?

And Phantom, maybe you meant to reprimend me in that post, but honestly I felt flattered reading it.

I just read through EGPC K-Pingu's post at NGPD, it was so touching that I feel like crying right now. (Yea, I am emotional.) :'( I certainly hope that NGPD can survive the disease of spamming. If it is locked one day by a mod, (probably by Evark, he locks and bans people a lot more often those the other mods.) I will be very sad too. But there is a realistic question I want to ask. In case the mishap inevitably happens some day. What do we do to the NG police? If NGPD is locked, they will all be dismissed. Eagle, I am sorry to be negative, but we have to do something to save the police if their thread will not survive. :( What should we do?

DEFCON Update:

The Portal has finally decided to wane its surge of entrants. The DEFCON is being reduced to DEFCON 4 for the rest of the night. Expect it to go back up right away come morning.

When did I say your opinion was "so important here?" If you're referring to when I said "that means a lot," I was referring to your decision to leave the NGPD. I mean it means a lot for you to have left the group in its current state rather than just stick around and watch it die. I would normally say, "Why didn't you try to fix it?" but in the case of the NGPD, I understand. Also, you did make an attempt at that.

Very much, sir. The respectable and friendly welcome I received fortify my beliefs of this being a great club even more. I thank you for your time and your concern.

I thank you for the kind words to our Barracks. It means that we're doing something right.

Excellent. We shall see what happens tomorrow not only on the Portal but in the chaos that is the NGPD.

Have you perchance viewed the forum in Mozilla Firefox? The logo doesn't show up in Firefox due to a bug that Forum City, USA is experiencing. I've already had conversations with the person running Forum City, USA, and he is attempting to fix it. Otherwise, I didn't change anything, and it still shows up in Microsoft IE.

The First Lieutenant was encouraging you in his post. I think he thought you didn't understand why we cared about what you say. Fact remains, anyone that has vested interest in the Portal (like yourself) is a friend to the Barracks, and their input is valuable. I wouldn't say you are more important than others when it comes to input, but it certainly isn't less important.

Well, I need to retire to the bunks myself, soldiers. Talk to you all tomorrow!

You know, Captain, there isn't much we CAN do at this point except plead with them. If I really wanted to, I could have taken over the NGPD HQ...but as you know, that is not my style. However, if the NGPD wanted me to take over, I would consider it. I'd hate to be so presumptuous that they would ask for me to do so in the first place, so I'm leaving it to pleading.

However, if you read my post, you may know that I'm done with the pleading. In the meantime, we just have to see what happens.

You are too used to the hierarchy of the mafia. People are a lot more equal here... I still hang out in the mafia but the people who run things aren't that active, same cannot be said about our founder... I'm telling you, if Strauss doesn't wrap it up and do something soon no way will I have reason to hang out in the mafia too much...

Haha, I barely notice the hierarchy. As you may or may have not noticed, I didn't want a Capo nomination, and I always have a say on who will join us, no matter what anyone else says. I also treat Ghost like an equal, for example, I would push him into a pool if I ever had the chance.

EagleRock, thank you for your kind words and wise advice. I could reply formally to you, but I'm getting tired of all this yelling in between the bunks, and Jenkins has fallen asleep (Oh, yes, what a comedian I am :-B). I'm going to retire now, I have an appointment tomorrow morning and a party in the evening that I don't want to miss.

Good night, to all of you having a night, and see you later to all of you that aren't.

Just like everyone else, I am very sorry to see that NGPD has gone the opposite direction which will lead to the eventual self destruction. I understand that you do not want to take over until they ask you to. The only way that I see to save NGPD from that miserable ending is to let K-Pingu back and retake the command since people there give him lots of respect. I know that he ranked out already, but he is the last hope to save the thread. I believe that he will probably have to take over again as the emergent commander of NGPD until a leader with similar level of abilities is found. Eagle, please allow him to go back and retake the command. The time that will decide the fate of the thread has come.

I'm not the countdown time but if I may, I'm rather close to a long awaited promotion exactly 15 days after my previous one. By the way one of the greatest army style movies with the ranks and stuff it "Scent of a Woman". Look it up, great movie... makes me want to get to the higher ranks...

The Silver leaf or as we know it Major. Thank god I finally passed the voting average..

Congratz ghost, it will be a long long time from now when I get that badge. I'm not really sure when I will get the next badge, I don't have a very consistent b/p rate. Some days I really b/p alot, get like 70 points(thats good for me, I know its low compared to alot of yours), and some days I will maybe check the portal once and get like 10 b/p points. Oh well.

*salutes*

those are about the numbers i get during the week. but the weekends are the big hauls for me. and some days i only have enough time to vote on around 10-15 submissions. but at least i get some points. it's better than getting none at all though.

Yeah, for me, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'l only be able to get around less than 20 B/P each day. Monday, Thursday, Friday, I get around 25 - 40 B/P each day and the weekends, around 100 B/P each day. There are things I do outside the house on Tuesdays and Wednesdays other than going to school.

Usually from 10-11 AM until 2-3 AM CST. Today I had internet problems and couldn't get on Newgrounds until noon, which sucks, but the portal was active last into last night, so hopefully that'll make up for what I lost. I doubt today will net as many points as yesterday.
Really, I'm happy when I get 120+, and satisfied if I get over 100.

Argh, like I said, today went off to a bad start, what with my :insert several obscenities here: internet...hopefully there will be a major pick-up in the portal that can help me make up for my losses. Good hunting, everyone! :salute:

yeah, and this is all happening when i don't have a job. but i might be getting one soon and the numbers may go down a lot, especially since i will work during noon and mid evining on weekends and if push comes to shove, then i'll be working at night on week days.

Maybe so but you weekends sometimes add up more then what I get sometime for the all seven days but everybody here can guess why I would B/P so much

Thanks, this rank is a lot shorter to pronounce so I'm happy. About B/P... I usually B/P half in hour before school and then for about10+ hours after school... but here 2 AM through about 6 AM is the portal is active time meaning unless I stay up late all I get is leftovers...
