This is a resubmit:

This looks so famililar! But I'm still trying to find the source material.

It's a clip (GIF?) that's been run thru a filter, and he had many art and animations removed at that time. That small explanation above was all that was needed to get it removed, so someone recognized it back then.

Hi everyone. The past few months I have come across thegames8/awesomegames8 increasingly often and thought a little about what is weird about them. I have posted initial findings concerning their as of then newest game "Ultimate Ship War" in "Question about thegames8..." (

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1332917/2

). The following is pretty much the same I wrote there because even those quick initial findings are in my eyes sufficient to warrant a more in-depth investigation by someone able to confirm or deny this stuff. Some of the data are 6 days old as I don't feel like looking it up again. If you don't think this amount of data sufficient feel free to look for more.

Observation 1: Games by thegames8 are pretty much immediately frontpaged.

---> This suggests a huge amount of high votes in the very beginning.

Observation 2: Their games have a huge number of votes per view in the beginning. This ration diminishes with time.
Supporting data:
Ultimate Ship War: 3,284 votes / 12,396 votes âo/oo^ 26% -----3.78 stars (6 days old data)
Ultimate Ship War: 4312/ 22,055 âo/oo^ 19.5% ----- 3.64 stars(current)
Ultimate Gear War: 5196/11703 âo/oo^ 44% ------- 4.27 stars --------(newest game)
Rambo Robot Mayhem:4953/27015 âo/oo^ 18% -------- 3.78 stars --------(2. newest)

Compare this to what data I gathered from the very first 7 games on the front page 6 days ago:

601/7,785 âo/oo^ 7.7% for Human Invasion,
1061/24303 âo/oo^ 4.3% for Ghostly Me,
473/7086 âo/oo^ 6.6% for Bertie the Butcher,
1380/31774 âo/oo^ 4.3% for Obsolescence,
466/7355 âo/oo^ 6.3% for Vast,
613/20849 âo/oo^ 2.9% for dotLife and
884/33521 âo/oo^ 2.6% for Mars Colony.

3. Observation: All publicly available information on what opinion people have on these games is predominately negative.
Supporting data:
Ultimate Ship War: 9 out of ten pages reviews rated the game at 1 star or less (90%) (6 days ago)
Ultimate Ship War: 13 / 14 vote 1 star or less (~93%) (now)
Ultimate Gear War: 3.4 / 7 vote 1 o.l. (~50%)
Rambo Robot Mayhem: ~8 / 10 vote 1 (~80)
Castle Guard 2: 6.4 / 10 vote 1 (64%)

I hope you are all able to draw your own conclusions from this. If not I will gladly spell it out for you. I will highlight some of the more interesting tidbits immediately though: Ultimate Gear War currently has 44% of its page-views lead to votes. Additionally nearly all those votes seem to be 4 or 5 stars. This is quite frankly ludicrous when compared to the normal ratio of votes per view that seems to be between 2% and 8% on the one hand and the strongly negative public opinion as evidenced by nearly 50% of reviews giving it 1 or less stars. Even more extreme is the discrepancy of Ultimate Ship War where an astonishing 93% of reviews hate the game which clocks in at an excellent (if ever-so-slowly diminishing) 3.64 stars.


There should be a way to edit <s>posts and</s> reviews. No strike-through?

I don't see a remarkable change in Tono Tovira from daeperez's earlier upload harlem-shake.daeperez.

Also how do I show the submissions like you guys do instead of just links like I've been doing?

Well, you have to to simple write the link of the submission on a seperate line, example:

"http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/618144"

Just without the quotation marks.

Also, Gerkinman made an interesting newspost called The Newgrounds Portal is completely broken where Tom Fulp and other staff members talk about the issues about the flash portal, maybe some of us can add something to the discussion.

I don't know what I would contribute to that discussion. All I know is that I do my part by voting on every thing in the flash portal as soon as I can and as often as I can. Maybe the reason flashes aren't getting through faster is because this trend isn't carried out by enough users.

That's nice to hear! I also recast my votes when a new day starts to help reaching the needed votes. Bit discouraging though when some flashes are under judgement for 5 days.

Well, I think there are a good amount of reasons apart from the one you mentioned. One being that submitted content is divided in different portals, then the classic portal only shows 50 under judgement flashes but there are often more. Today is the first time that out of those 50 some of the bottom ones passed. Apart from that, there is possible less incentive to vote for the general user, increased voting power doesn't help much to counter the people who save everything and newcomers probably stop gaining exp when they notice that it takes month or even years for later levels (nothing that I mind personally but we are living in a fast paced society and other sites have different ways to level up in some ways faster). Lastly, lots of regular users show frustration over the issues with the flash portal and simply leave - and having a loyal userbase that votes on stuff daily is needed. My guess is that new users mostly check the front page and don't even vote on under judgement flashes.

I brought these up before. Is someone submitting nearly identical copies of the same flash twice not an issue?

They're exactly the same, yet he added a hat on the loader pic and changed the background pic. Everything else is the same.

Then shouldn't one of them be removed? I was under the impression that an older submission gets deleted when an improved is submitted.

Krev! Long time no see! Yes, we're still around - some new faces, some moved on, but we're still fighting the good fight.

So, how's things in the real world? It's great to hear from you again - you have been missed!
