Coop - 70K saves, 99K total B/P

Thanks for the update, Jolly. I'm only sorry that I couldn't oblige with the big 100k for the January update.

The List:
No. B/P / Gain / Average / Level / Change / Username / Rank / Posts / Level
01) 99,662 | 1,239 | 39.97 | B | +024.40 | Coop Sup. Commander | 17 | B
02) 84,597 | 1,345 | 43.39 | A | +012.84 | byteslinger Sup. Commander | 10 | C

Still, within a week or two, I will be the first barracks member to achieve 100,000 B/P How sweet that will be!

The second one is what I was doing earlier in the month, if you keep at it for hours upon hours and give yourself very little sleep you can get 50 in the day by voting fairly, even if you vote on upwards of eighty or so submissions that pass despite your wishes.

Emm it is then, and good luck to you too. :D

Happy new year everyone thanks for the Barracks Roster, I did not realize it was that time already. I have not moved much in terms of b/p. Well this year so far 5 points for me in b/p flash, flood day 2012 Clocks Crew were submitting some flashes so I got some b/p. I'm really glad Xmas is over I love christmas day, but I felt the holiday goes on for to long. I also got but may trade in Dragon Age 2 not really a fan of Bioware games.

Well happy new year, lol.

Also, the low scores for Daily Winners are showing, are all of you voting on flash that passed while you slept and what not? Because it's not good to see low scoring winners, todays won 1st with under the threshold for the blue score, or is there some other reason for this?

No, my apologies. It seems that the holidays have taken their toll on most of the Barracks, and they are all recovering from too much merriment to answer the call. We have had a number of members check in, and it does look positive - but we need a few more to make the quorum.

As a reminder, ALL EGB members are expected to participate in the voting process. If you haven't done so yet, please weigh in on IzzyDude's application request.

That is all.

Sorry, civilian, but you need at least 2,500 bp points, a silver whistle and a chunk of worthy posts and reviews before we'll even consider your request to join the Elite Guard.

If you are truly interested in joining the barracks, please examine the following materials:
The Barracks Manifesto
The Barracks FAQ

Hope that clears things up for you...

Hey, byteslinger, I logged in to my account but it said it wasn't activated. Do you know of any administrators who can verify my account? Assuming you're not one.

Done and done, should be up and running on the forums now. Let me know if you have any problems.

All this talk of the private forums got me thinking "Dear God, I don't believe that I have ever even used or posted in them". I really must get to posting there. The only problem is that I'm quite busy with my own stuff at the moment, so there is little I can do about it right now, i will soon though. i hope.

You seem like people who know stuff like this.
Is a review like this abusive? :

I've heard that a review with three or more lines with one character spamming are abusive. Until now I marked a review like this with abusive, but I still see them very often, and not deleted. Is this just because it takes long for the review moderators to handle this or that too few people mark reviews like this as abusive? Or do they generally not count reviews like this as abusive?

I also know the general rule "Don't mark a review as abusive if you need to ask if it is", so I won't mark them as abusive anymore. But I'd still like to know.

The private forums are great, but the problem with them is that (sort of like with this thread), activity is extremely unpredictable. You can end up checking back on them every few hours for a few days and end up not seeing a single new post, or you can end up not going on for the same period of time and there's been a burst of activity, although overall they seem more quiet than previously.

I think that general Newgrounds activity is on the decrease to be honest. It's sad to see and I know that compared to most of the EGB members i haven't been here for long at all but even I have noticed a drop. I guess the re design will give a bit of a jump to the activity on the forums.

What's the general rule on these things? Been a while since I've seen one. I sure hope the general crowd is smart enough not to pass a broken preloader, but it has happened before.

It used to be that madness mods classed as stolen, I don't know if anything has changed.

Stolen flash!

Okay, I attempt to login, says it's not the correct password, I ask for a password reset, I enter it, it rejects it, and now because "I've exceeded the amount of failed logins" I need to enter a code. It doesn't accept the code, and so I ask for a new password. I enter it, but it still rejects it. What do I do now?

Basically, you have a silver whistle. While it will bring the reviews to our attention, it's not as effective as a gold or deity whistle. If multiple people whistle it, we can deal with it straight away.

If you've got some reviews like that, send me a link and I'll take a look. Don't forget to whistle them ;)

Doesn't Y8 have an account here? I looked around for a bit, but I found nothing, despite recalling having an account with Y8 in the name submitting quite a few flashes earlier last month.

It's the new year and stolen stuff already I will get on to tom Fulp about them. Never ceases to sadden me the amount of possible stolen stuff passing, don't people check or care about it. Anyway I have noticed lately too Little-Rena the Daily Top Five having lows scores seems, to be more common,then it used to be what is going on I cant figure it out?

If anybody find stolen content and can give conclusive proof that it is indeed not the property of the author and it has passed, I'd suggest posting it in the icon mod thread - preferably if you are one, but as long as you intend to help out then I can't imagine people are going to get up in arms. Seeing as Tom frequents that thread far more often than Wade or anybody else, really, check up on their personal messages, it's likely to be taken off later that day or two to three days later in the worst case scenario - certainly far quicker than it takes for an admin to find the flash in their inbox and then work on the request, clearing all of the illegitimate flashes far quicker.

The watermark on the loading screen is proof enough that the flash belongs to Zone Sama and not the person who submitted this.

Insert facepalm here

Sorry for the double post, but here is another one that is stolen from the same author.

I don't know whether madness mods can be classed as stolen since the reason's in the name: They're mods. They can be altered.

Then again, most of the madness mods are usually similar if not the same, and so may be classed as stolen.

But I don't think that's necessary because the madness mods I've seen all have a broken preloader and never finish properly loading, and so get blammed instead.

I'd say it's better to blam them to be on the safe side instead of whistling and possibly getting a garbage whistle.

You only lose whistle points if the flash got marked for review, then the Admins return it to the portal. Otherwise if the flash passes judgement it flagged are cleared without losing whistle points.

Well I meant that if you did whistle it and it got returned. I should have been specific.

Oh.

But then that means there's no harm in flagging submissions, right? Because if not enough people flag it then it'll either get blammed or saved, and whistle points won't be lost.
