Just came here to post it.
Pretty fast on that one, Coop, lol.
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
God must really hate me, because just as I decide to get more active my computer explodes :l
Well, it didn't literally explode, but it stopped working and it won't even turn on. My sister kindly allowed me to use her laptop so I could post this here. So yeah, this means that won't be active for a couple of days D:
BTW I didn't reply to any post because I'm just not in the mood for it >:(

Sorry about the delay, but good things come to those to wait - and the good news is that Jolly has now been accepted into the EGB as it's newest member. Let's all welcome him aboard as we do to all new members, and make him feel at home.
Colonel Lizzardis:
if you would be so kind as to add him to the roster database, that would be appreciated.
As you were!

Welcome to the Jungle Jolly!
It'd be more appreciated if you like Free Bird, you could join me and Cobra and listen to that masterpiece...

LittleWashu that game also made my browser crash twice should I report it?I'm not sure it passed. Welcome to the Barracks Jolly love your user name it is really quirky and cool. I saw Tom Fulps Winds of Changes sad but not surprising, but hopefully it means no more of those hentai quizzes with not activity just pictures passing I wont miss them. It will be interesting to see what the audio portal will use, I like the use of audio music from the audio portal being used in flashes.
Archer I'm a good shot!

It passed, and I just reported it to Wade. Hopefully it get removed before it get's turd of the week since I am guess that is what it might get.
So remember EGB if you play a flash that crashes your server it is abusive and is up for flags.

I don't have the direct link, I'm assuming the site clears all flashes every hour, similar to 4chan, but it's the 404 page for swfchan.
This may also be a working version on NewGrounds.

Try looking at the piece now - the flash has expired, while it is still under judgement. Classy.

Yea I caught that one. Voted it 0 right away. I knew it was stolen. Getting a bit ridiculous today with stolen flashes. I'm up to 3 so far.
Yea, I farm Anal Penguins. Do something about it.

Yes, I had noted this one as well, but I am struggling to find it anywhere that doesn't require a sign-up. I'll whistle as necessary, hopefully other users will get the heads-up as well.
Take care of yourself.
Looks like we have a habitual Flash thief on our hands...
...also stolen from meetandfuck.com. What is it with Flash thieves nowadays? It's like they have to share their entire folders of lifted games and movies, which makes their thievery much more obvious when they come from different sources.
Take care of yourself.
Uhh, those thefts are so damn idiots...
Also, did you guys notice the Winter layout and the level icons??? I didn't like my winter icon... Seems too feminine. :| lol
Good job catching those stolen flashes guys!!

The account owner says that he just "stumbled upon" the game which means that he didn't make it. Furthermore, it is his first submitted game and the quality is excellent. Which, isn't much of a case... but combined with saying he "stumbled upon" the game it defiantly means he stole it.
Actually, if you go to his recent, you'll see that it's actually not his first submission. His first submission has been flagged (pic below).
This is the flash:

Reporting for duty.
Greetings, Sgt. Major Illegal-Product. I am EGSC ByteSlinger, Recruitment Officer for the Elite Guard, and I will be processing your request for admission into the Barracks.
You are qualified to request permission to join the Elite Guard. 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. However, with the holidays upon us, it may take a little longer to get a quorum.
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 rule-breaking 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 roll calls 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.

Yay! It's voting time!! Cool! love to vote.
Hey guys, hope I'm not a bother, but it's been pretty dull lately in the internet environment and I figured it wouldn't hurt if I lurked around and lent a helping hand in the darkness.
been a long time since I did any B/P but I think after so long, I got the itch for it again. maybe not to the crazy perfect paces I once had, but to a normal, not destructive level.
It's nice to see new people around here, anybody care to catch me up on the main stuff since I last stopped by?

Hey Phantom!! We had new things here since you've been discharged from duty!
A lot of people joined the EGB, including me! Also, we have a new personal forum, here it is.
I never talked to you, so, Hi Phantom, and I'll let somebody else that know you better than me answer your questions.

Of course! It's always good to hear from you! You have been missed - and we can always use talent of your caliber to fight the good fight!

The key is to find your balance. If you only get 30 B/P a day, and 10 of those are blams, at that rate by the end of a year you helped bury over 3,600 crap flashes - a very significant contribution, no matter how you slice it. You just have to find the balance between Newgrounds and real life, and do what is comfortable. Any help is good help - no one is judging you!
It's nice to see new people around here, anybody care to catch me up on the main stuff since I last stopped by?
Well, we've had a bunch of new recruits in the past 9 months, including RogerBK, Rabid-Animals, ThePigeonMaster, EmmDubya (was mwmike), SpiffyMasta, Seed419, TheSongSalad, Ronald-McDonald-LOL and Jolly. These new recruits have been very active in the portal, and have been instrumental in the identification and removal of stolen and abusive flash.
Our ever illustrious leader, EagleRock, has been really busy IRL, between a well-deserved promotion at his new job and the endless construction of his man-cave in the basement of his house. He pops in once in a while..and when he's not here, Coop and I get to run amok...er, I mean help lend a hand on keeping things in order.
Also, since I manage and monitor NG logs, I did some analysis recently, and overall, in the past 18 months (on an average day) the # of flashes submitted dropped from 130 to about 100. To make matters worse, the site-wide save/blam ratio went from 2.1:1 to almost 3:1 in that time. That means that more and more users are only looking for points, and not caring what crap is saved.
That just means that OUR job is now more important than ever, and I am glad to see that all of our "new blood" is so active and positive.
Other than that, it's been fairly quiet. Maybe...TOO QUIET.... ** Dramatic music plays**
Anyways, it's good to hear from you again! Glad to see you back!

You said that we shouldn't talk about that in here - the imagery might disturb and upset the children.
Still, preparing for the Xmas break does give me a certain degree of flexibility with various NG goings on, so I'll be trying to make my stance a good one over the break. We'll see.

Well all of this is good to hear and I'll do my part as best I can. I wasn't even aware that another user-name change occurred, but I'm glad it did so most users should now be happy with their user-names. And if not, it's not my problem.
Nice to hear about Eagle, he can be a rare sight at times, that lucky son of a cannonball.
Funnily enough, I haven't seem to have gone down much in the B/P list since I was last around, months ago. If only we were given just another 30 or so more B/P ranks, I'm sure interest would grow. But ever since the rank was known as EGSC and it's done changing and marking one's accomplishment, it just gets a little tiring. The year or so leading up to my EGSC went by very fast, but since then...
Anyway, you get the point. I'll just lurk around now.

Damn been a while seen I have seen Phantom around these parts but anyway good to see ya once again. But as for me I have become less and less active around the EGB mainly due to the fact that I just never know what to really say at times. But I do lurk around and check up on things regularly.
