Well, look what the cat dragged in, a newcomer! Sort of. Looks like last time you applied you were either looked over by accident or simply forgot the welcome wagon. Congratulations on your rank of Private. That's one tick off the list.

Yes, it's a good start.

Hmm.. I see you've already applied to the now defunct NGPD. Shame what's become of that place. A lot has changed over the years. You'll note that @EagleRock left us some time ago. Our current CBO is @byteslinger. Should she affirm my overview, you will be granted entrance to our Cadet program. If she or any other officers object, you'll have to do some leg work.

@EagleRock and I go way back; he's a good guy with a big heart, but as with many people here in Newgrounds, real life takes priority. As such, I have the honor of being the Chief Barracks Officer here, and more importantly, the privilege of working with the finest group of people I know. As such, I trust their judgment implicitly, and I do concur with @EDM364 that you are qualified for the ROTC. With a little training and guidance, you can work on that silver whistle and more detailed reviews and posts.

Am I addressing you properly with all the 'sirs'?
That depends on your concept of sir, maggot! Drop and give me 2.5 minutes to think up another memetic phrase! Now that you're fresh out of pushup position, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to review our manifesto, code of conduct, and await debrief.

"Sir" is fine; it denotes the respect for the position, and not the gender base of the officer. However, I also will accept "Dark Queen over all that is not Linux" (an inside joke between EagleRock and me)

You have your orders. Dismissed!

@byteslinger, awaiting your confirmation.

@EDM364, I will confirm this appointment. I now open the floor up to all members of the Barracks to weigh in, publicly or privately, with their support or objections. Barring any major issues, I will issue a formal announcement within 48 hours.


RECO EDM364, out!

Thank you, job well done!

EDIT: HOLY QUANTUM TACOS WITH BBQ SAUCE ON TOP. I just realize that this was a crew with a specific joining requirement and recruitment policy.

Apologies in advance if I broke any in-house rules.

It doesn't even work if it's not on the discoverykids.com server because it uses links to other apps on their site. Yet it still passed judgement. Sad!

Speed painting videos are fine but crap like this is not. To me, it just says "look at how little effort I put into this 'game' to get into the portal as fast as possible."

I preface this by saying that I have no idea why a person who got locked before for breaking all sorts of rules (StaticSkull) is allowed to have another account and just continue like before.

You are, however, deluding yourself if you think this submission is any worse than the average speedpainting on Newgrounds. Speedpaintings are allowed and this submission doesn't break any rules, so it will stay up. The EGB is not for witchhunting, if you endevour to get rid of the user (something I support, taking the lying about breaking the rules nature of StaticSkull in mind), then aim your message towards the adminstration, as no portal mod can help you with that case.

Personally, I think that any of his submissions (art, movies, games, etc.) should be taken off based on the fact that he is avoiding the locking of his account by creating multiple others but that's not up to me to decide.

Not witch hunting, was unaware speed dev videos were allowed. Speedpainting I'm aware is always allowed, guess I shall keep it in mind for speed dev videos as well now.

What I see in the video is him painting a character of the low quality game up to 4:32, the rest is programming and moving flash boxes around (the only part worth debating about if it breaks the rules). Speed dev would be someone exclusively recording himself coding a game. You could make a fair case that the majority of the video is not a speed painting and worth deleting but I am not hedging my bets of it staying unpublished, with how generous the rules have been interpreted for SkullKid in the past (up to allowing him more accounts and letting him still submit content).

HellboundGoth/StaticSkull is a douche for the way he's manipulated and violated the rules.

Regardless of that, I voted to blam that submission based on its quality, but now that it's passed judgement I don't think it warrants Mod intervention.

I give most speedpaints a flat zero and don't know who's coming to NG for that type of content. Fair enough when the finished drawing is really impressive (though imo it's more suited to the art portal with maybe a youtube link to the process), but when the artwork isn't even good I just don't understand what people are seeing to think it deserves 2/5 or above.

I don't know how clicker games ever pass judgement either though and they almost always do, so clearly my tastes and those of most portal voters are totally disparate.

Anyway, in other news I just ranked up from Master Sergeant to Sgt. First Class and now I'm also packing a shiny deity whistle! The latter is mainly thanks to all the stolen content over on the audio portal (and to the audio mods for being so quick to remove it).

I'm looking forward to the next roster update since I've been really active on the portal this past week or two.

Agreed. Speedpaints are artwork over time, and should be uploaded to the art portal for proper reviews.

The term you're looking for is "point whores" - since mathematically it's easier for something to pass than it is to be blammed. It's all about rank points. Been that way since the portal was opened.

Congrats on your promotion and the deity whistle! I did notice that on the current roster scan, and yes, it will be mentioned in the August 1st roster update.

I'm looking forward to the next roster update since I've been really active on the portal this past week or two.

You've been doing fine! Keep up the great work!

The art, yes, the videos, no. Speedpaint videos has been discussed and deemed to be ok. Some are great and it's interesting to see awesome pieces go together sometimes. But yes, then there are the other ones. That's where we give the Newgrounds Community their voice in the matter.If they pass one that has crappy art being produced, then that's their decision. Yes, vote appr0priately, whatever your heart desires.

This is true. People have forgotten that it's about whether it's good, enjoyable, and worth keeping, not about whether something works, even tho it sux.

This passed judgement but I suspected it's just a compilation of several other people's work:

For some proof, I took a screenshot of the first loop and reverse image searched it, which lead to

this reddit post

(nsfw) where it's credited to someone named Ellowas, and the second loop lead back to

here

(nsfw again), where it was uploaded under the username Arhoangel who seems to be the original creator as well. Some of the other loops in the compilation also come from this tumblr page.

The NG user may or may not be responsible for adding sound to the loops, but even so that means most of the upload is still not his.

Just your friendly neighborhood porn detective keeping it real over here.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2017-07-19 20:26:24


This has been uploaded and presumably blammed at least twice already, unless it was removed for another reason. Rule breaking?

I found in the Obituaries that it got blammed once, but I did not see the submission then, so I don't know if the author made improvements to the upload or not. Considering that it got blammed yesterday, though, I doubt it.

Removing it now.

I think this is the same thing uploaded

yet again

under a different title. To be honest I didn't exactly commit the previous uploads to memory so he may have changed or extended it.
