Are these people crazy? I heard that stealing from the Japanese is punishable by death!

I'm clocking out for the night. Spretznaz will be here for his shift soon, no doubts.

Damn. Got one more. Looks like it's stolen from plumbergame.com Not just that but his other 2 game submissions look to be stolen from there also.

Rabbitrun.com's actually a gamesgrow alt-so it doesn't really matter if it's stolen or not.

Are these people crazy? I heard that stealing from the Japanese is punishable by death!

I heard the ACLU raised a terrific stink about that a few months ago. Now they just cut off your hands like the Iranians.

Isn't that what the staff are doing now?

Oh, and what say the mods about this one?

It's a shooter that's been done a thousand times before, with a Simpsons skin, and from a questionable site.

Yeah, it has been done a lot.. and both of their submissions are exactly like that. Removed.

Apparently the shovelware sites are now using PMs to recruit-or have they been doing it for a while and I just haven't gotten any?

I'm talking about shovelware sites, not those dating/porn site spambots.

"Hello, I have started a gaming website called Smashing Flash Games. This gaming website is like no other it rewards its user for being active and playing games there is a $3 prize up for grabs right now! I currently have 100 games on the website.

At least he knows English, I guess.

Don't know why you'd message Jonas, he isn't a portal mod.. and isn't at all active on NG anymore. Jonas is a BBS, Art, and Audio mod.

Here's the list of Portal mods:
Afro-Ninja, Alexander, Asandir, Auz, Bahamut, DiMono, EJR, ForNoReason, Jay, Jolly, LegolaSS, Pride, reverend, RogerBK, RohantheBarbarian, SCTE3, Sectus, Simon, ThePigeonMaster, Travis, YoungAndWise, Zachary and ZJ

gamejunkie is keeping an up-to-date list, so check his news post if you ever need the list again.

You can post malicious, stolen, or shovelware submission here if you want to. I would rather all submissions be posted here rather than be PMed about it.

Post 1 of 2

Barracks Roster as of October 1st, 2012:

(Yes, this will be a double post - there's a lot going on this month)

Well, everyone, it's been an interesting month, with good news and bad news.

The bad news is that the volume through the portal has dropped, and what is coming through is mostly crap. Yet for some reason it all seems to pass, despite our best efforts. It's not for lack of trying - I just think we're the ONLY group of users who know that that "0" = "BAD". This time last year, the portal averaged about 75 submissions a day - and about 12-15 a day were blammed. Now, we're averaging closer to 55 submissions a day, with maybe 3 or 4 blams. The B/P ratios have gone into the toilet - we're looking at about 11:1 (P:B) these days. [ As a note, 5 years ago it was 2:1 (PB) with over 105 submissions per day ]. GameJunkie made a good point in one of his recent posts: You should still be able to get a blam a day off the Portal if you're hitting high numbers. And most of us do. But it seems like the rest of Newgrounds gave up on fairness - they're just in it for the points. So be it - we are stronger than that - we are better than that - we will always do the honorable thing, total points be damned!

The good news is that all of the latest batch of new members have really stepped up to the plate (especially GameJunkie and Spretznaz) - I see a lot of positive activity on the forums and a lot of crap being hammered into oblivion. Well done, indeed! Jolly and Decky have been handling the curve balls as well, and overall, I am very pleased with the effort and results.

Also, there are a lot of milestones and promotions to applaud - indications that we, as a group, are still very much active and fighting the good fight.

With that, here is the first part of the roster:

Milestones::
BrokenDeck - 10K total B/P
byteslinger - 81K saves, 94K total B/P
Coop - 80K saves, 110K total B/P
Cootie - 30K total B/P
Decky - 9K saves, 11K total B/P
GameJunkie - 32K saves, 53K total B/P
Gimmick - 20K saves, 22K total B/P
Jolly - 32K saves, 38K total B/P
Spretznaz - 5K saves, 5K total B/P
Tycrane - 30K total B/P

Promotions::
Cootie - Sup. Commander
Decky - Praporshchik
Gimmick - Lt. General
Spretznaz - Sergeant
Tycrane - Sup. Commander

Entering The List::
Sectus

Congrats to all!

O' yeah. It's time for another roster. Lets see how I did this month.

we are stronger than that - we are better than that - we will always do the honorable thing, total points be damned!

I have to admit it is becoming an increasing worry of mine about the decreasing amount submitted and the even more decreasing number of blams. If it carries on at this rate they'll be a submission a day in a year or so and chances are that'll be a test, shovelware or a walking cycle.

The good news is that all of the latest batch of new members have really stepped up to the plate (especially GameJunkie and Spretznaz)

I too have noted this. They have really brought new life into this thread. I think this is the most activity I've seen since I became a member. Good show lads.

Jolly and Decky have been handling the curve balls as well, and overall, I am very pleased with the effort and results.

Time to pat myself on the back I think hahaha. No but thanks Byte, I've tried my best.

Milestones::
Decky - 9K saves, 11K total B/P

Double milestone this month :).

Promotions::
Decky - Praporshchik

And a promotion too, it has been a good month for me. Congrats to all the other milestone passers and promotion getters (nice display of pure english lit power there) this month. Keep it up :).

Entering The List::
Sectus

Welcome Sectus, if I haven't already said it.

The List:
No. B/P / Gain / Average / Level / Change / Username / Rank / Posts / Level
17) 19,221 | 0,000 | 00.00 | F | +000.00 | Ismael92 Colonel | 0 | F
18) 11,369 | 0,691 | 23.03 | B | -017.64 | Decky Praporshchik +2 | 10 | C
19) 11,335 | 0,000 | 00.00 | F | +000.00 | IzzyDude Praporshchik -1 | 0 | F
20) 11,271 | 0,000 | 00.00 | F | +000.00 | AnalPenguinFarming Praporshchik -1 | 0 | F

So I also became the top ranking Praporshchik this month as well as achieving that rank. I know it's not by much but I say it counts. Also have you seen the size of the gap I now have between me and the next user up. It's by far the biggest I've faced, may be at number 18 for a while.

Yay, my first roster! Time to mark this one in the books.

Well, everyone, it's been an interesting month, with good news and bad news.

It's not for lack of trying - I just think we're the ONLY group of users who know that that "0" = "BAD".

I actually have to agree. I was talking to some General regulars a few days ago-not the shitposters-and they had no idea what shovelware/gamesgrow/any of that was, even though they B/P almost every day. I think that the problem is that the only time shovelware was even mentioned outside of the EGB was Tom's original news post, which I assume is largely forgotten by now.

This time last year, the portal averaged about 75 submissions a day - and about 12-15 a day were blammed. Now, we're averaging closer to 55 submissions a day, with maybe 3 or 4 blams. The B/P ratios have gone into the toilet - we're looking at about 11:1 (P:B) these days. [ As a note, 5 years ago it was 2:1 (PB) with over 105 submissions per day ].

I've heard from more than a couple places that while the volume may have decreased, the quality dramatically increased-and that the majority of flashes are actually worth saving now. But you're right about the fact that I pretty much don't see anybody new joining up these days-except shovelware accounts, of course.

The good news is that all of the latest batch of new members have really stepped up to the plate (especially GameJunkie and Spretznaz) - I see a lot of positive activity on the forums and a lot of crap being hammered into oblivion. Well done, indeed! Jolly and Decky have been handling the curve balls as well, and overall, I am very pleased with the effort and results.

Again, a sign of an increase in quality-and I have no intention of stopping right now. Too much junk out there these days.

Milestones::
Spretznaz - 5K saves, 5K total B/P

I've almost reached a 10:1 P/B ratio-but what am I supposed to do if I'm only getting 1-2 blams a day?

Promotions::
Spretznaz - Sergeant

How long have I been a Sergeant? I really need to check this stuff more often. Anyway, fairly good month, considering I can't B/P as much as I was-school's ruling my life right now.

Top 5 Gainers::
Gimmick - 1,183 (16.15% of total)
Jolly - 1,020 (13.93% of total)
Coop - 968 (13.22% of total)
GameJunkie - 739 (10.09% of total)
Spretznaz - 736 (10.05% of total)

Seriously? I'm in the top 5 with only 736 points? People need to start B/Ping-I really don't think I should be on this list.

The submissions definitely used to be lower quality, even in late 2010. There were a lot more crappy walking cycle, pivot, stick figure, etc submissions. Here's my B/P ratio for a few days in July 2010.

07/19/10
Blams: 493 (+17 since last log)
Saves: 2361 (+49 since last log)

07/20/10
Blams: 514 (+21 since last log)
Saves: 2413 (+52 since last log)

07/21/10
Blams: 531 (+17 since last log)
Saves: 2465 (+52 since last log)

I regret not starting B/Ping earlier.. I could have so many more blams..

Happy it is the time for the Barracks Roster again but I'm saddened to here about the state of the flash portal, there must be away to get people to care about the b/p system. With the option to support Newgrounds the portal needs to be looked at ,the people who vote unfairly should be ashamed and have there b/p reset to zero. I cant see this happening it is sad to see the decline with flash now. Anyway looking forward to the Halloween flashes at the end of the month.

Hells yeah, I'm surprised there hasn't been an art collab started this time around, I probably should have started one a few weeks back, o'well. Hopefully some of the true great creators of dark flashes like Doki or MasterAardvark will come up with something.

I'm sure one of the flash mods will pick it up and help find the original. I have to note that is the funniest description I have ever seen in a flash link. Hats off to the man for that creative spark of originality. Who in there right mind would click it though, I mean, You said it's stolen and I want to help but I really don't wanna click that.
