DEFCON Update:

Ugh...I really need to do this more. I'd say DEFCON 3 right now.

As you might have noticed, I've still been away for a while today, mainly due to personal problems. Luckily, I'll have plenty of time tonight. Time to enjoy the Barracks with my fellow Elite Guards!

Congratulations to you, Sergeant Major!

I've been pretty slow this week, needing just 150 points at the end of Sunday! However I am finally here, and with it gone over 2000 saves, and soon 5000 blams.

Yes, it's been slow, but at least you make it, Sergeant Major. Enjoy your promotion and keep diligent on the Portal. Don't let slow days get you down!

Hurrah!!

Hooah!

you flatter me sir. :P but i am trying to get more barracks time because i havn't done so in a long time. i also want to start end of day reports but i never remember to keep track of my stats. so hopefully i'll remember tomorrow to at least write down everything until the report.

Ehh, it won't. It's a situation with a very long history and a long time to get out of. However, I wouldn't want to talk about it here, as I don't want to detract from the Barracks atmosphere. Also, I consider this a place where I can escape from my problems and just do what I want to do on here. Moving on...

Nice to see you want to be more involved...if you're looking for a very easy system for remember points, do it my way:

At the end of your day, know tenths digit of B/P that you had (I had about 13,490 yesterday, so that would make the number 9). At the end of the next day, note the same (right now, I have 13,581, so that would make it 8). Naturally, I made around 90 points since I got up this morning. It's estimation, yes, but it's very fast and no crazy stat records are necessary. Give it a try.

On other Barracks business, I updated the Barracks Roster in the forums to reflect Rslegend's taking over the Intel Ops position, which I should have done a while ago. Let me know if I messed up anyone's rank.

it doesn't seem too hard. i'll give it a try.

Please be sure to give us an update on the situation when you find out more!

I didn't really do anything about it for a couple of reasons so I don't have much more info on that... all I really know that's new from yesterday is this post by Afro_Stud.

Congrats on the promotion, it's great to see you around here more often to. =)

I should post a picture of my clipboard with my stats etc one day. It has everything. ^_^

A few people need a rank update like harryjarry, K-Pingu and myself but those are only users who come to mind at the moment.
But as I was looking for the_fallen_one1's new alias because he changed it a few weeks ago. The question came up, should he still be an officer?

Personally I strongly feel he should not for two reasons:

1) Hasnt been here since Febuary 2nd.
2) Ghost_Phantom does his job.

Thoughts?

-------------------
150+ pages! yay.
End of day report:

52+b/p. (damn!) 7 posts.

I had a pretty poor day. ;_;

End of Day stats:
Roughly 5 B/P poinmts. I was extremely busy today, and I decided that i'll just enjoy the fact that I have a new rank for a day or so before hitting the flashes and reviews again.

Any luck with the whistle points?

You'd scare people away!

Thanks for the update. I'll change it after decision on the below issue.

But as I was looking for the_fallen_one1's new alias because he changed it a few weeks ago. The question came up, should he still be an officer?

I took your points into consideration, and yes, he is no longer an active member. However, who would take replacement? Should we just vacate the position?

Ideas, soldiers?

Posters and a lot of pop up ads. Seems to the quickest way to get messages around these days. Replacements can be best found on monster.com. Wonderful little site; though at times it can feel crowded.

A BBS shout out from the general section might do it. I'll work on something from there.

Well since I'm a known member in the mafia and if I may, in the barracks as well, the mafia-Barracks Laison position is hardly critical or even needed... Though we should have a spare in case I have to leave for a while one day.

End of Day report!!

Yeah, it's only 3:30AM NG times, or 8:30AM here in the UK, but I havea really busy day ahead of me and I'm pretty sure I won't be getting near a computer again (it's results day for my semester one exams, so much drinking is required + I have a water polo match later as well - begs the question, just how much alcohol can I consume to still function well in the match, whilst taking the edge of the inevitable fail in my exams??)

Anyway, the result is an enforced leave of absence for the rest of the day, hence getting up to do this early and at least get my experience points. I should be about over the weekend though to make up for it!

Points 6 (assuming I voted correctly, all are still UJ)

On a side note thanks to everyone for your kind words about my promotion, I'm trying hard to become a regular member of the Barracks, despite very little free time.

I hope everyone has a good day in the portal, and that is really slow so that I don't miss much!! :P

*salutes*

Day End Report:
A solid 97 b/p points today. 3 reviews. I'm just about halfway to my next promotion. I'm already getting excited. Good luck to everyone els protecting the portals. It hasn't been that busy of a day. :salute:

ARGH! I can never seem to get any whistle points, no matter how hard I try. What is it that I'm doing wrong? I'm whistling stolen/malicious/pornographic submitions and blamming them, but I never seem to get any whistle points. I have no idea why. Can anyone help?

Whistle reviews, there is a lot more reviews than submissions. Whistle a lot of reviews and very soon your silver whistle is coming...

On a side note after a week of corresponding with a file swapper of a flash I reviewed, he finally agreed to have it deleted. I think I taught him a voluble lesson.

He's done shit in the past that I didn't like him doing, but this has gone way too far.

150+ pages! yay.

Yep, probably around a month until we get to 200 pages.

I had a pretty poor day. ;_;

Yeah, the portal seemed crappy yesterday. I missed out most of the time on the portal and the day looked crap. Meh.

At 2/24/06 10:17 AM, XwaynecoltX wrote: Yesterday was really good in the portal, as for today i woke up abit early but found very little to work with...

Well, there were under 200 flashes submitted yesterday. I would've only called the portal good yesterday if it said over 200 flashes were submitted. And yeah, when I woke up, there were only around 7 flashes to vote on. What happened to where I saw 18 UJ flashes to vote on? Did I wake up too late? :( Oh well.

Its friday so i hope it gets better throughout the day, this week has been abit slow for me but i hope it will get better...

It's been quite slow, but I'm lucky I've been off school this week (I'll be going back on Monday. *cries*) and I've gained a nice amount of B/P throughout the week. I've gained over 400 B/P this week and I could get it to over 500 B/P (70+ a day) if I B/P well tonight,

BTW, I'm now under 1000 B/P to Elite Guard General. Expect me to get EGG at around 14th March.

So how is everyones Friday morning???

Meh, I was only up for around ten minutes in the morning. :P

I've made about 700 already this week but I'm still 300 short of my ultimate goal...I guess I'll have to keep trying and strike up on a good week like in Pico day, I hope every one here will be there to balm all those bastards who will send crap in that day and all the idiots who mass vote it for being Pico... it's going to end in one of 2 ways, almost all saves of total crap or... almost all blams of total crap... Let’s hope for option 2.

Eh, nothing going on in the portals today. is it me, or are we getting alot of Defcon 4s and 3s.

My morning was terrible but not because of the portal someone left some bad milk in the fridge and I wind up drinking it >_< but reading some bad reviews made me forget about that well bad to the now more active portal

That must have sucked... Sorry to here... Maybe you will have better next week. Current average 124 points.

How the hell did that spiral shit pass? It's no file swap, I saw it UJ. I guess people are stupid these days...

I didn't like it either.
But it has a low score, so it seems people hadn't watched it.

I don't know a flash like that passing maybe calling them stupid is going easy on them.

It was already blammed!

Don't you break the rules when you make a flash with a title or comments saying anything about free blam points?

lol, me too. Wait a second, I b/ped for 15 seconds and got 1 point. That's right, 1 point! :P I was extremly busy this week since mid terms would be next week, I had a trip in hell yesterday as I had 3 papers due for today. I appreciate that it is finally weekend now so that I can wrap some points so that yesterday's miss will not kill my average too much, the thread only had 1 page during my absence, so I guess that everyone is busy with mid terms as well?

No kidding, the author's comments probably iced the fate of the submission already before it was blammed. :D With current pace and how how crap people make every day, I will get my 10000th blam point around 9th, March.
