And Sir-Nuts, I just looked, and no, it's not the EXACT SAME one as the game that comes with Windows is not Japanese nor is it dark in the main color. It's just a ripoff is what I think.

Alts. Some of which were probably stolen during the last phishing PM wave. How many times do they use the same account for stealing review awards, anyway? It's never more than once since the accounts are permabanned afterwards.

I have suscipicions that this is stolen on account of the user has no previous work and the flash has white borders around it, the kind you get from downloading the .swf. Plus the user submitted it from an AOL email address and the original is from i6.com.

Nrrrg, must become active again, I only came on yesterday to make a newspost about something I found in a Sam and Max game, lol. Which then reminded me to come back on today, maybe if I had more to make newsposts about, I'd come on.

It is sad when the weekly awards get mass voted by some spam groups. Duck Division they make dozen of alts and get Underdog or Turd of the week. I hate when that happens. Hello Little-Rena you like PC games what sort? I have only played a few Theme Hospital by Bullfrog but I never really got into PC games. I like console games but I don't know how motion control without a control pad will work. I find the idea of Project Natal now called Kinect off putting still time will time.

Yeah, like you'd have done any different, in the pursuit of profit.

Look at it as karmic retribution - the US has waged wars across the world for oil and as a result has ruined the lives of plenty of innocents. Now that it's happening in their back yard, they aren't too pleased, all of a sudden.

I'd like to point the observers here to the industrial accident in Bhopal, India. Union Carbide didn't react as quickly as BP did to this issue and as a result, a few people got given small jail terms (a few years), which isn't really how we do business.

Actually, if it were up to me, we'd have NO oil rigs or refineries anymore. We have the ability and intelligence to create alternate fuel sources (bio-diesel, hydrogen, solar, safe nuclear, etc) that are cleaner, more abundant and ecologically sound right now. But that's not economically popular. There are people today that harness the limitless source of power from the sun and converted that to clean electricity, running their entire homes on it. True, the conversion equipment may be expensive at first, but after a period of time, it will pay for itself. No burned hydrocarbons. No leaking oil or gas. No environmental impact - and NO profit to the oil companies.

Look at it as karmic retribution - the US has waged wars across the world for oil and as a result has ruined the lives of plenty of innocents. Now that it's happening in their back yard, they aren't too pleased, all of a sudden.

Unfortunately, it's not true karma - it's stupidity. And it's not just the US waging war for oil. Oh, we're guilty as charged - but our misguided wars to make sure that the oil flows brings benefits to ALL other countries, including the UK. True, your petrol prices are much higher than they are in the states, but that's because your government wants to (a) make more money per litre, and (2) eventually force people to consider alternate sources of fuel and transportation.

I'd like to point the observers here to the industrial accident in Bhopal, India. Union Carbide didn't react as quickly as BP did to this issue and as a result, a few people got given small jail terms (a few years), which isn't really how we do business.

Or, how about Chernobyl? or the Exxon-Valdez? Or maybe the long list of pipeline accidents?

The question isn't why it took so long for the companies to help clean up their mess - the question is why did they have to happen in the first place? And for those of you harboring conspiracy theories - how many of them weren't really "accidents"?

It's not just the USA - it's ALL countries that depend on oil and gas. We just happen to be the biggest gluttons on the planet - but we are not alone.

So, tell me, what kind of electric car do you drive, Coop?

I play verious games on the PC, the Call of Duty series, Sims, Half-Life, Moonbase Alpha (it was free), Mafia which I can't wait for 2 to come out, GTA, Command and Conquer. The list goes on lol, I never really got into console gaming, I have a PS2 that I got preowned, mostly just to play the .hack// games on but I also took it on holiday with me a few times, I have GTA: SA for it.

I prefer playing PC games because I can play most in a window which means I can switch to a browser or converstation during the game, during waiting moments or games that have unskippable cutscenes.

Ideally, I should get a second monitor.

Same here. I want to punch those idiots that say things like "You can't build wind turbines, they destroy areas of natural beauty". Eventually, I'll have to settle for "How would you prefer a nuclear power station there instead?

First off, there is no oil under Afghanistan. It was purely retaliation for 9/11. But Iraq could have been a variety of things - Bush trying to finish what his father started, for oil, to create an ally in the Middle East besides Israel, or for WMD's.

A lot of other countries agreed with the US in that Iraq needed to be handled, for whatever reason. Many of those countries didn't receive shit other than a pat on the back. Whether it was the right, is another thing.

Our fuel prices are ridiculous - £45 for a 10 gallon tank of diesel. £1.20 per litre, £5.40 per gallon...

I agree. But it's also a luxury for you guys. You don't necessarily need a car for every day tasks. Sure, it's nice, but for the most part it's not necessary. For most in the US, the current gas tax policy is actually from the 1950's, where the government wanted to promote suburban growth. And because of that, gas needs to be cheat in order to keep the economy going.

Yeah, but Union Carbide still haven't done anything, have they?

Because it happened in India.

Nah, smallest is around a 1.6 liter. But I'd say the overall average would be something around 2.5-3 liter. Of course, I'm just estimating on that figure, so it may be wrong.

You have to wait a bit for it to work it looks like it has errors. The user who submitted it seems very new and unasccoiated to the submission. The game supposedly comes off of OK100.com which is all in chinese so I can't see wether or not it really came from there.

Private Pigeon wants to join to the Elite Guard Barracks to Protect the flash portal *salutes*

Greetings, Private! I am Supreme Commander ByteSlinger, the Recruitment Officer for the Elite Guard. You are indeed qualified to request permission to join the Barracks - however, there are a few things you'll need to read and understand before you join, but don't worry - 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, we'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 (or so)

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.

*****
In addition to the above, please examine the following materials.

So, just let me know, and we'll get you started! And, please, for the love of GOD, do NOT quote this entire thing! :-)
