OMG I was online when it happened I didn't even think of asking. Also I could be sly and say I had silver. But I won't.

Yeah I saw that one a few minutes ago, definitely a waste of a flash. Terrible.
And thanks for approving me you guys, yay.
Hey guys and girls of the EGB.
It's been a while since I posted in here so juast thought I'd give you an update on how my general B/Ping is going. Well this month has had clock day and I think I'm just passing the 100 gain mark for this month, so it has to be said giving the opportunities for a larger then my avarage gain that this month has had to offer I have not done too well. Having said that I have done well considering that I'm not in college at the moment and am using library computers to get online.
Next month should have a larger amount of gain thanks to slacking off at college :).
Thanks for the info Jolly I'm glad to know its not the Soup Squad. I saw Tom Fulp news post I did not get a PM, but its mean what that person did. I have been flagging reviews but my whistle status is still the same still need to keep an eye out. Cool to see another spot the difference game on the front page seems like ages since the last on.

Author's comment - "one of my favourite memes" It's a very poor attempt at theft, considering that these days I guess the kids don't even consider it theft, but it is.
Its gone quiet on here again I have finally done a review after ten months, my last one was in october last year for TOTW which got removed. This one was for Sonic Shorts: Volume 7 here
May rejoin the RRC 3 years since I quit I like doing reviews for flashes.

Barracks Roster as of September 1st, 2011:
Hey guys, I'm the new EGB Records Officier. As I'm sure all of you know by now, Lizzardis decided to step down a few months ago and I was chosen to replace him as the Records officier. Thanks for choosing me, by the way.. I really wasn't expecting to be chosen.
So, anyways.. This is my first time doing the roster, and to be honest I have no idea what I'm going to put into the introduction each month, so unfortunelty I won't be able to provide a long introduction each month like Lizzardis did, but I'll try to provide a little introduction each every time.
I hope I didn't post this too early or anything.

Hey, Jolly!
Thanks for the roster - you did just fine. Eventually you'll loosen up a bit and add your own style to it - that will come in time.
Good to see some previous members re-activated again - that's a good sign of positive growth and strength in our numbers. Also, we welcome Luke as our newest member - I'm sure he'll be adding to the good deeds we do on a daily basis.
Overall, a good month - we're doing our best to stay on top of things in the portal, and everyone is doing something to help. Well done, all!

BAD PUN WARNING:
Would you call this a "Jolly Roster?"....
Am I still a part of this? Or was I formally kicked out...

Well, once I figured out you were previously known as PuddinN64, I did some research into the roster - it looks like you've been placed on administrative leave and marked as inactive. What that means is that you're NOT "kicked out" - you're on extended furlough.
You are always welcome to post here and join in the fun - and if you have the time and desire to be more active, we can reactivate you with a simple PM to the command staff. All we ask is that if you wish to be reactivated, please make every effort to stay active as much as you reasonably can on our forums and at the portal.
Good to hear from you again, my friend. So, what would you like to do???
Think about it - we're always here!

I finally got on the milestone and the promotions list :), it's odd that both of the first came on the same roster. It's a double celebration.
The List:
No. B/P / Gain / Average / Level / Change / Username / Rank / Posts / Level

So I'm no longer in the bottom rank and I'm getting quite ahead of SongSalad, still miles off overtaking Pride though and I can't begin to imagine how long I'll be a Pvt. First Class. Cross my fingers that I'll get another promotion before the end of this year.

I think that this was taken from somewhere, not sure though...
There's a senorgif tag at the top and the author mentions he liked the GIF, so he took it and used it with some music and submitted it.
Can someone help me find the origin of the pic? Because it's classified as stolen if the gif is lifted, isn't it?

Thank you Jolly for the Roster did not even know you were the new EGB Records Officer, congrats and a wonderful job. Anyway I have not moved in terms of b/p but have done another review amazing, in that I have not done any for a whole year almost. I'm also now level 41 I like my new weapon. Have noticed the spammer called Vegeta40 has made another account here.

Thanks Jolly! good to see my name on the roster! You forgot my 7,000 blams mark, but since i wasn't on the roster till now it probably wasn't your fault. Ya i say him in the portal a few days ago... look at his 3 submissions the all should have gotten blammed. Some how they all passed, not too surprised there but i will be keeping a eye on him.
Just to inform you all :::if you care::: i only have 71 b/p points till i reach Sup. Commander!
Hi everyone, can I join? I'm currently a Master Sergeant and I try my best to help clean out the portal. I usually blow the whistle if I notice anything that is blatantly stolen or malicious. And I vote pretty fairly even if it keeps me from getting some saves. I noticed this thread a while ago but I don't know why I never asked to join. But now I feel like if I'm allowed to join I'll be able to help out the site a little more. :)

Welcome! I'm Supreme Commander ByteSlinger, the Recruitment Officer of the Elite Guard Barracks. After a cursory review of your profile and posts, you seem to be a decent candidate for the Elite Guard. 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, I'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.
