At 8/8/11 12:18 AM, J-Rex wrote: When does the roster come out here?

I'd like to know because I want to see the top gainers. I just got 233 b/p points in the last week so this sunday to last sunday. Also could someone evaluate me? I know I don't have the whistle but I want to see what else I have to improve besides my whistle status.

The roster is generated the 1st day of the month. The most recent one (as of 8/1/2011) can be found near the bottom of this page in this forum.

Based on a rate of 233 per week, that averages to about 1,010 per month. You would have just made the top-5 list. Please remember, though, that it's not about b/p - it's about voting fairly and being a good example to all of the Newgrounds users. We watch for spam attacks; we work directly with the mods and Tom & Wade if we see serious issues that need to be addressed; we protect for the good of the Portal - not for the stats.

As for evaluating you (and yes, I'll be the one you'll need to impress if you request to join) - you need to work on your whistle - flagging abusive flashes and reviews is definitely an important task here. You are active in many forums, but you tend to have a lot of 1-liners and +1 responses. We all do that occasionally, but you should start developing the habit of working on quality responses - not quantity. You do give generally helpful reviews, and that's a good thing.

Overall, you do need to step it up a little bit, but you're not that far off. With a few improvements, you'll make the cut - when you're ready for it.

Until then, keep fighting the good fight !

Could anyone help me improve my whistle? I've been trying for a few months and nothing.

I believe this is stolen. All that loaded for me is the music and an image of trees. Does it work for anybody else? It's not sized properly, (From what I could see) it's title is World Domination 2, and the description only says Blah blah. It's most likely stolen.

Thanks. Also question if I collaborate with kodiakclock but it's not a spam submission is it okay? Also same question with soup squad soup of the day.

Neither of those are spam, I don't think that would be a problem.

Now would I be still eligible to join here if I joined clock crew, lock legion, soup squad, etc?

It depends. The clock crew and lock legion sometimes have really shitty spammy flash submissions, but sometimes they're really high quality.

And about the soup squad.. Little-Rena is a member of the soup squad and is in the EGB.

So I can join Clock Crew if I don't participate in the spam?

Well, I think you should speak to byteslinger rather than me. I'm not 100% what is and what isn't allowed. I know little-rena is in the Soup squad and has past spam submissions. I know SlashFirestorm was previously one of the highest ranked members in the EGB (previously the rank byte is now, I believe) and he was in the Barney bunch and has loads of spammy submissions.

I'll talk to him later today during the day. If he says I can't join the clock crew and join the EGB I might join the Clock Crew instead.

Like I've said, you can join the clock crew. There's nothing wrong with joining a flash crew. You just shouldn't have flash submissions with absolutely no effort.

From the EGB Recruitment Guidelines:
"Minimum Requirements for Membership

1. A Blam/Protect rank of "Private" or above (2,500 B/P minimum).
2. Advanced Whistle status (Bronze or better).
3. Sufficient posting quality (minimal one-liners, intelligent posts that contribute to threads, etc).
4. Sufficient review quality (helpful and civil, with constructive criticism, regardless of the flash or author).
5. No outstanding bans or recent disreputable behavior.
6. No zero-effort flashes (static images, single frames, tiny loops, etc) after 1 January 2009. "

1. A Blam/Protect rank of "Private" or above (2,500 B/P minimum).

Check

2. Advanced Whistle status (Bronze or better).

Working On It.

3. Sufficient posting quality

No Will Start To Work On.

4. Sufficient review quality

Yes

5. No outstanding bans or recent disreputable behavior

Yes

6. No zero-effort flashes "

Not Sure.

Got it.

2. Advanced Whistle status (Bronze or better).

I've flagged so much shit over the years, never gotten higher than standard whistle, but at least I've never gone garbage :3

3. Sufficient posting quality (minimal one-liners, intelligent posts that contribute to threads, etc).

Err...

4. Sufficient review quality (helpful and civil, with constructive criticism, regardless of the flash or author).

Somewhat, yes.

5. No outstanding bans or recent disreputable behavior.

No bans really, but I guess I could be considered disreputable.

6. No zero-effort flashes (static images, single frames, tiny loops, etc) after 1 January 2009. "

Okay, I guess I'm not allowed in );

First off, it's "Her"... Surprise! Yes, a female geek. And before you even get any bright ideas:

a) I'm way older than you
b) I am NOT interested in anything here other than doing my job
c) And even if I was, you wouldn't have a chance.

That being said, let's continue...

You certainly have the right to join any Club you want - but there is such a thing as being judged by the company you keep. To say you're going to join the Clock Crew but not be involved in spammy flash is like walking into an all-you-can eat buffet and saying "I'll just have one plate". Personally, ex-members of any crew can join (if they meet the requirements) - but I'm not certain about being active in something like the Clock Crew AND still being able to uphold the principles of the EGB.

The answer is this: we will judge YOU by YOUR actions and YOUR involvement. If you choose to join other crews as well, and you can stay within our guidelines, then I have no problem with that. But if you cross the line too many times (just as it would be with anyone else here) - you're out.

My job here is to find potentially new recruits, or start the admission request process if someone requests to join and passes the initial qualifications. I do not make the final decision unilaterally - all admission requests are discussed in private and ultimately voted upon by all active members.

So when someone wants to join - they're not just trying to convince me that they're qualified - they need to convince the ENTIRE Barracks.

Just something to think about...

I thought I HAD a chance! Awwwww :'(

Anyways, I think I didn't day thanks for the Roster, so, thanks bytes! Also, I'm in the 24th level now. Yay!!

Keep on B/Ping guys! :D

Count me in.
But I am confused on one thing.
Our ranks are based on our whistle status and voting power, yes?
Thank you.

I would like to rejoin! I feel i have some time i can dedicate to this place once again! I forgot how this works do i have to be voted on again or do i just resume where i left off?

Our ranks are based on Blam and Protect points, which you get by voting on purple submissions in the
flash portal.

Your B/P rank isn't currently high enough to join the EGB, but it is high enough to join the
NGPD.

I believe it depends on how long it's been since you left. If I recall correctly, AnalPenguinFarming wasn't gone very long and asked to be re-added to the roster and was again without being voted on. You haven't been gone that long so we probably won't have to vote again.

No, your rank is based on how many blam and protect points you acquire. (aka B/P points) The more you collect, the higher your rank

You are not ready for the Elite Guard - you must be a rank of "Private" (2,500 total B/P ) or better, and have a bronze whistle. You can start your training over at the NGPD (Newgrounds Police Department). Talk to TailsPrower - he'll have more details for you.

Welcome back! The good news is that you left on good terms; but you have been gone almost a year. I will PM Eagle & Coop and get their thoughts. Most likely, once they OK it, you'll be back on the roster. Good to see you again!

Ya I needed to get away from my obligations here due to i was slowing down my activity here around a year ago. Ok sounds great! Oh and i don't know about the EGB site anymore i don't remember my password and i think there was a transition of sites around when i left. I looked at the one i had bookmarked and there's been no activity for almost 2 years!

SUBJECT: NEW APPOINTMENT FOR RECORDS OFFICER POSITION

After much deliberation and discussion about all of the potential candidates for the previously vacated position of Records Officer, we are pleased to announce that EG Brigadier General Jolly has been selected, and he has accepted the position with the understanding of all of the requirements that it entails.
It was a very difficult decision to make - we had no "bad" candidates. It was very close, and for those who were not selected, please be advised that this is not any indication of your abilities, or lack of them. You are all outstanding members, and we are proud to have you all here. (If you think of it as a NASCAR race, it was a photo finish - and Jolly won by a bumper.)

Let us all welcome Jolly to his new position as Records Officer for the Elite Guard Barracks.

That is all.

Yes, we have a NEW forum now hosted on EagleRock's server. You will need to PM him (or send him e-mail) to ask to be set up as a new user. As for your reactivation - as soon as I hear from the command staff, I will let you know of their decision. It shouldn't take too long...

*Salutes*

I'm pleased to see that the Barracks have decided upon a new member to take on the rosters. And on that note, I also want to give a hearty congratulate to Jolly for his appointment as the new Records Officer! I'm confident that he will fulfill his duty well :)

I'd like to request for rejoining the EGB. I was originally a member from '06 up until I think mid '10. I was taken off the roster due to inactivity, but I've been a lot more active recently and I feel that while I will never be as active as I once was, I will stay active for a long time to come. I understand things have changed slightly since I posted here last but I'll catch up if you'll have me.

It's good to see you back, PP. We can understand that real life has a higher priority than any on-line world, and by all means, you'll need to keep that balance in check.

Because you did not respond to PMs or the forums regarding the last roll call, you were marked as AWOL and suspended from the roster. As such, I will need to contact EagleRock, Coop and Rohan and let them decide if they will approve your reactivation directly, or if we need to put it back up for discussion and a vote.

Glad to see you around again - give me a few days to see what the command staff has to say.

SUBJECT: REINSTATEMENT OF MASTER SGT. POSSIBLEPANCAKES AND COMMANDER IDIOT-BUSTER

I am happy to announce that the reinstatement requests from both of these members have been approved by the command staff, and they are now considered active members on the roster.

As a reminder - if any Barracks member can foresee that they will be away from Newgrounds for a while, please PM Brig. Gen. Jolly or myself so that we can put you on "leave" status. This will ensure that upon your return, a simple request for reactivation can be made without requiring a command decision.

Let's all welcome back PossiblePancakes and Idiot-Buster with a hearty "HUZZAHHH!"

That is all.
