Stolen Flash Alert!

Original Link: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/57 0056 and http://www.giercownia.pl/gra/23335/wakfu _wielki_turniej_lucznikow/raport/ (exact link to game, I believe)

Basically whatever the hell this flash is (was) was ripped from Wakfu.com, it's hard to tell what part of the site this came from though because the thief completely failed at formatting the game correctly.

Pretty sure we can chalk this theft up as a epic fail...

This smells foul play. Game is completely out of frame, user signed up today, and weird ass comments.

Can't find an original because it seems to be in a foreign language.

Talk about good timing. lol.

Good work in winning where I failed. How did you find the original link?

I just googled the title of the game (i.e. Wakfu) and the rest came up in my search lol, also the game originally came from here. I kind of messed up when I was reporting this theft though, as I meant to include the main link to Wakfu.com (I guess my brain's still tired from my last fishing trip lol).

I have to ask some of you here is it just be, or did anyone else notice a nice little boost in their blam points? I went to log in my stats on the NG log and when they were logged I saw that I had a plus 67 on my blams today. It wouldn't have been that big of deal, but I remembered I didn't vote in the portal today. My guess is that the Admins finally got around to some of that flash has been marked for review for the longest.

But on another note How in the hell did this shit pass?

I would insert a facepalm pic but I don't feel like it.

Haha, yep I saw that as well. I magically earned like 32 blam points today from crap that I had marked down in the past, though it still pisses me off that my "blam to save ratio" will probably never even out due to all the stat-whores (it'd be awesome if the redesign created a better system, somehow).

But on another note How in the hell did this shit pass?

Argh. I hate chocobreak so much, I'm also postive that this thief submitted some choco-shit in the past as well.

Hopefully with some luck this submission will be deleted and some of us will magically earn another blam point ;)

The past two days have made my head hurt i've facepalmed so many times. Tons of useless tests and 5 second flashes passing. A few completely broken ones passing too. Plus all of the stolen flashes that don't get marked up for administrative review when you can tell they are stolen the second you look at the flash. Blind voters aren't the whole reason for it but they really aren't helping the issue.

This is a rarely nice sight.

Blams: 2266 (+34 since last log)
Saves: 14186 (+39 since last log)

I thought the submissions that were deleted showed up on the blam list the day they were deleted.

Sometimes when flashes are deleted, they don't leave behind an obituary. I noticed that the day the "Madness Mods" were deleted.

It doesn't show 10+ obituaries for flashes that were destroyed yesterday, but somehow I randomly got somewhere around 15 blams even though I got maybe 6 in the Portal?

In other news, I currently have a perfect 1:1 blam/save ratio.

The same could be said of a lot of the Choco break flash games I have seen.

It will be a long while before my ratio is even again.

There really isn't even an excuse at this point for anyone to submit any more "Chocobreak tutorial" submissions. The admins even took the time to specifically write out on the "Newgrounds Wiki: The Games Factory 2" page that basically no matter how much a chocobreak submission is tweaked/changed (even if it has a graphic swap) you still should not submit chocobreak to the portal, hopefully this will be the last time we see chocobreak.

Cause next time it's "Open Season" *loads hunting rifle*

Next time it open season? Last I checked Hunting season for Chocobreak flashes never closed. It has always been open season for Chocobreak submissions. Don't worry though you aren't alone in the hunt either.

Loads shotgun

Well, after some consideration and listening to the advice and opinion of my fellow Guards, I am glad to announce that HoboPorn has been reinstated back as an active member of the Elite Guard. As long has he stays active - or lets us know if he needs to go on leave - then he'll remain in good standing.

Welcome back, soldier! Now, let's see that blam rifle cleaned up and in action now!

I did a google search of his name and he seems to be an author on many other gaming websites, and he's posted on NG a few he's made elsewhere.

Private Figter signing in for duty sir!
Served the NGPD prior to this and been serving the good old portal since -07.

What are your orders sir?

Greetings, Private. I am EGSC ByteSlinger, Recruitment Officer for the Elite Guard. You are qualified to request permission to join the 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.

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.

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

I went into the portal just a moment ago and decided to vote on a flash. When I watched it and voted I got the message below.

Congratulations! You just destroyed someone else's hard work! This Flash has been blammed.

Thanks for voting, LittleWashu! Your experience points have already been deposited for today - thanks for doing the overtime!

I don't know about any of you, but it has been a while since I have seen this message when voting on something. So have to ask everyone here when was the last time you voted on a flash to get this message after voting?

I got it a few days ago. It's so rare that it's the first time in probably a month that i've gotten it. I usually am quick to vote on new flashes so that's probably why. Also i'm a loser and saved a pic.

When you click on one of the icons (believe it's the one furthest to the right) it shows a picture of two naked dudes and one them is putting his head up the other guy's ass.........Pretty sure this would qualify as flaggable due to the extreme pornographic content (realy wish I hadn't seen it).

*sigh* :(

I noticed that I had two blams which I did not have before not as many as some others on this page. Must have been a previous submission which I blammed UJ and passed maybe? Not sure what author it was in the obituaries. Still cool though to get free blams points. Anyway I love the first BIOSHOCK fantastic game looking for games like it maybe Boderlands?

I got two in one day about a week back or so.

I miss the good old animation that you used to get, which was supposedly eliminated to prevent blam whoring. Bullshit reason in my opinion lol.

Actually it was about a week ago in Utah, the last time I deposited my points.I agree, I was like damn.Have NOT seen that in a loooong time.

And thank you for re-instating me byte, sir!

Just got situated in more back home in washington. So i'll be using my girls laptop to get on once a day to see how you kiddos are doing.

Hey guys?? Sup?

Been very busy lately, no time for entering NG, lot of studies and all that stuff...

Missed a hell lot of all these stolen flashes, and trying to get more B/P as I can... Unfortunately, I only had time to deposit my exp this week... That's really awful.

Anyways, welcome aboard Hobo!!

Looking forward to see Figter joining us in the future!! :D

Protip: The only penis Byte has is that one she keeps in a cage at the back of the lounge. Where (or how) she got hold of a living disembodied penis, I don't want to know, but the point is, it's a 'she'.

I mean, Byte's a she, not the penis. But then again, would the penis have to have a penis itself to be considered a 'he', or... oh, I don't like where this is going. I'm just gonna go back in my 'shut up' corner now. You get the idea, anyway. :X
