I'm really enjoying doing reviews again okay I did only 1 but its really nice when people mark your review as helpful. I would like to get to 800 reviews it would take me a little time as I have 736 as the moment. Looking forward to Madness Day its its on 22nd of September end of the month. It is like a month after Clock Day hopefully ,it will be busy and not to quiet.


Archer I'm a good shot!

O hai guyzzz. Remember me??

After some weeks away from the EGB, I'm back, but I wasn't really away from Newgrounds, I still tried to deposit my exp everyday and I think I managed to get some B/P points...

I see I missed a voting, congratulations ngfan!! Hope you have lots of fun... Now, go and clean the bathroom, and then, my room, but, watch out, you may find some weird stuff... :P

Anyway, already voted in Asandir's thread. Good luck my friend, hope you join us soon :D

*Salutes*


Hey you, looking for fun? Join the Elite Guard Barracks

Galleries are not allowed? Why aren't they allowed?
I'm just curious because I think I might have passed some in the past.

Stolen flash.

Stolen from:

http://www.emanueleferonato.com/2007/05/
15/create-a-flash-racing-game-tutorial/

The author even says that it is what he did during a tutorial, and he clearly just lifted the source FLA and changed the language. Nothing else at all.

Also, is this a good time to ask whether I can join or not? I've been focusing on improving my posts now, seeing as that the forums, mainly General are boring nowadays and I've lost the motivation to get to 10000 posts, so eh, better just increase quality. I'm not a drive-by applicant, since I instantly go to this link whenever I see a suspicious flash in case anyone else has reported it for confirmation; I've read the Barracks Manifesto and FAQ as well.

But I have a question, and this may not be as confusing to you as it is to me, but I find it strange:

There's one line in bold: We stand for giving every flash a fair vote, no matter what and there's this other line just a few lines below:
We do not tell anyone how to vote, no matter what

Isn't that self-contradictory? Because the first line tells me that you should vote fairly if you want to be, or stay in the Barracks but then just a few lines below it states that we're not being forced to.

Yea but they generally just aren't allowed anymore and neither are most quiz games as they have little to no value or reward anyways.

Alright, got it. Thanks for explaining that. :)

From the EGB Manifesto:

"We do not tell anyone how to vote, no matter what.

The closest the Barracks will ever get to telling someone how to vote is telling them to vote what they feel the flash deserves. A flash may be given anything from 0 to 5 by different voters, and they should be able to vote what they feel is right and fair without criticism from others."

It is a little self-contradictory, but not really. The not telling people how to vote part means that the EGB members won't ever tell anyone to give any flash a specific score.

I'd approve you of you joining. :)

Okay - I won't have to post that wall of text again - I think you got the idea.

With that, will all active EGB members please join the voting and admission discussion for Legnus on the forum now.

But I have a question, and this may not be as confusing to you as it is to me, but I find it strange:

No, it's not. We are stressing that every Barracks member should vote fairly (even though 'fair' is subjective) - we do NOT force a vote up or down, nor do we recommend saving or blamming any specific piece of work. We are only enforcing the 'vote fair' requirement - in other words, we don't tolerate group votes or voting on a flash just to get Protect points. We need to lead by example - we are all educated individuals, and know right from wrong . Flashes or reviews that are blatently breaking the website rules need to be identified and handled accordingly. Obvious rule-breaking entities need to be dealt with accordingly.

Hope this explains things a bit - give us a few days to get a quorum of votes through, and we'll let you know sooner than later.

Until then, keep fighting the good fight - see you at the front line.

I know you mean well, so I'll try to make my point without being too much of a jerk:

If you feel that there are abusive reviews that need to be handled, they should be discussed on the PRIVATE EGB forum - and you need to contact SlntCobra1 (our current Portal Violations officer) privately as well.

We DO NOT annotate abusive reviews on this forum, as it will begin to look like "Rage's Thread for Abusive Reviews" - which is now closed and forbidden to ever re-open again. It caused a lot of grief with management as many people were whistling borderline reviews - or reviews that weren't abusive. It became an administration nightmare, and many users wound up with garbage whistles.

In the future, please post your findings on the EGB site, and definitely keep SlntCobra1 informed.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I'm just making it known that I am still here. I have been busy this summer. Hopefully I will have some down time once fall Q starts up on monday.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2011-09-16 17:33:25


I have suspicion that this is stolen:

It's very easy to find Super Mario Bros speed runs on YouTube, and Newgrounds isn't the place for this anyway.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2011-09-17 17:18:51


That flash was well know on YouTube how dumb to try to steal it. I sent a list of stolen flashes to Tom Fulp I got a reply and they were removed. However I'm always on the look out on the portal. Madness Day on 22nd of September looking forward to it, and hopefully more submissions. Madness day is more poplar right? I have done one more reviews this flash is really funny, I love watching funny flashes.


Archer I'm a good shot!

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2011-09-18 07:52:18


Well...not much to say here, this flash was submitted many times without being changed. Flag as malicious.

### OFFICIAL BARRACKS MEMORANDUM ###
TO: ALL MEMBERS OF THE ELITE GUARD

FROM: EGSC BYTESLINGER, RECRUITMENT OFFICER

DATE: 18-SEP-2011

SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF LEGNUS AND ASANDIR TO THE BARRACKS

I am pleased to announce that both Praporschik Asandir and Sergeant Legnus have been accepted as the newest members of the Elite Guard Barracks. I am sure they will make excellent additions to the Barracks, so let's welcome them as we do all new members.

Our ranks are growing nicely - it would be great to see 2 or 3 new members join every month and help us keep the Portal safe and sane. Maybe this is the start of something good...

Thank you all for your time and input during the vote and the discussions. They are always greatly appreciated.

As you were....

Congrats guys. I hope to join in the near future. I just have to improve some post quality and need to work on my whistle. Asandir was helping with my whistle and it probably would've been bronze if Canas wouldn't have got hacked.

Not sure what to do in that case. It is basically just a coloured version of Asdf Movie 4.

Actually, I remember someone recolored Leo & Satan a few months back, and submitted it as "Leo & Blue Satan" or something like that. Probably one of the most amusing thefts out there, and you don't see it often.

Unless it's a recolored Madness Interactive, those were pretty common for a while. I'm glad we don't see any more of those massive turds.

What do Madness Interactive "Mods" count as, anyway? Half of them don't work, and none ever have sound, yet they pass. I wonder what goes through the minds of whoever is voting on them.

Also, welcome to all three of our new members! Always good to see new faces.
I look forward to some introductions on the EGB forums.

I think some people blindly vote 5 on madness submissions. I vote 0 on almost every madness submission I see... I don't understand why the madness series is so popular. All it is is mindless violence.

Too bad it passed...I'll try and see if I can convince the user to remove the flash, rather than having to resort to telling Wade about it and having him giving ShadowMike101 a penalty.

Have fun on Thursday. I'll just hope someone out there will take a different spin on Madness and make it amusing rather than the same old violence that I've seen in thousands of other Madness submissions. If anyone here does come across any good Madness submissions, be sure to bring them up.

Hey guys, I just wanted to kind of check in and tell you all that I probably won't be here much but I'm still going to try my best to vote on as many flashes I see in the portal honestly. College makes me busier than I thought so I won't be able to come here much. But I got Portal Guard (if anyone here doesn't have that get it now) and I just realized how awesome it is. Keep up the good work guys and I'll try my best to help out. It's nice to see that you're all finding stolen submissions. :)

Also, congrats to Asandir and Legnus. I think you'll both fit in well and I'm glad to see that you're both part of the EGB.

I would, but it doesn't play a sound for me when ever it finds a new submission, so it seems kind of useless to me. I'd like an updated version of it that plays the sound like it's suppose to, and maybe you could put in your username and instead of the commander take it showed your B/P rank and your B/P points below it.

I'm not sure if it plays a sound for me since I have that box unchecked. I'll test it right now though. Anyway, I don't think the sound is that important since it makes a little pop up notification that tells you whenever something new is submitted. I prefer that over sound.

The commander icon doesn't bother me. Think of it as a goal to reach. :p

Good news: The flash by ShadowMike101 was removed. I got a PM from him, and it was duly removed. If it was not deleted by the admins, it seems as though being friendly may be better than using brute force.

I would have thought that some of them would get rather annoyed at the fact that there flash was removed for whatever reason. I guess he was having a good day or something.

Stolen flash submission. This person has had 3 accounts now for the same exact purpose... to submit games about Justin Bieber. Every submission is stolen from different sites and they're always sized improperly.

Stolen from here:

http://www.games2win.com/en/romance/play -kiss_bieber.asp

I PMed Tom about the previous two accounts, and he said the same person submitting these also submitted sonic hentai on another account.
