Your submission must not be a pointless "demo" or "preview" without any redeeming qualities.

_Barracks Roster as of April 1st, 2035:_


Well, Spring is in the air! The warm days feel good on these old bones. I figured I would have retired long ago, but I've just been having too much fun.


Who would have thought we would make it to the 30th anniversary of the Barracks? So many folks have come and gone, and many have returned. Funny enough, the roster is almost the same as it was 13 years ago - just some different numbers.


We've been through a lot these past years. Just when we thought we were past Covid, a new bug runs rampant through the US. They called it Syphon, which may have been an acronym for "Shit your pants, hon". Instead of coughing or headaches, you just suddenly developed explosive, projectile diarrhea that smelled like Staten Island on a hot summer day. The sale of adult diapers skyrocketed, along with perfume and Axe body spray. While they were never sure exactly how it started, some still speculate that it was caused by Amazon's genetically modified beef cattle. They did feed the masses, and for a while PETA complained, until Jeff Bezos bought PETA and sent them all to the moon base on Elon's luxury space liner.


We survived the Great Secession in 2032, when Kamala Harris was elected as the 49th President by an astounding 32% margin. The Southern states lost their collective minds, claiming again that the election was rigged; but ever since they instituted fingerprint/retina scan registrations for all US citizens in 2024, every vote was legitimate. In a concerted withdrawal, the states previously known as Oklahoma, Texas,Arkansas, Lousiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee broke away, forming the newest third world country, Godsland. All of the big tech companies migrated back to the US, leaving that large chunk of land to fend for themselves. With poor education and social programs, their society quickly polarized to the super rich (oil barons, cattle, mining) and the destitute. We still see the commercials today: "For just $3 a day, you can help feed a starving Godslander and their family..."


In the process of breaking apart, Mexico declared that New Mexico and Arizona were never ours to take, and after a lengthy court battle and years of historical record research, we discovered that they were right. So we had to give them back the land - and only the land. Fortunately, Texas was close by and had plenty of room for the displaced inhabitants - and now most of them are serfs to local farming families.


Elon Musk, and his clone, Happy Man 2, were successful in establishing a vacation hot-spot on the moon. Working with Disney, they built Disney Tranquilica, located at the first moon landing site, Tranquility base. I'm seriously thinking about going with a few of my cousins; at only $200,000 each round trip, which includes the space flight, a night layover at the International Space Station House of Pancakes, and 4 days at the park, it's a real bargain!


We were all worried when they passed the Digital Patriot Act of 2033, which required that all citizens of the US were to have validation chips implanted just behind thier left ear. Every child born since then, and every registered citizen, is now part of the Federal Information Network. We no longer need to carry ID or credit cards or passports - for our safety, we are scanned and monitored where ever we go. I do feel so much more secure, knowing that if someone attempts a crime, the local government will know that immediately and come to my aid. Let's face it, they've been monitoring us for decades, so why not just make it easy on ourselves?


Along with that chip, I had my PNI (personal network interface) installed. It's so nice not needing to buy any hardware to get online or do work. The virtual screens float over my eyes, and the non-verbal thought interface makes it so much easier for me to communicate, especially with my arthritis.


You all knew back in '28 I opted in for my bio upgrades. New synthetic lungs, kidneys, liver and heart make me feel like I'm 40 again, which is a good thing, since I still need to work to pay off the loan to pay for those upgrades. Hey, $2,000 a month for 25 years is a small price to pay for 25 more years of health and happiness. I'll have to figure out what I'm going to do in '53 when this lease runs out - do I opt in to buy the upgrades outright, or re-finance for some better models?


But I'm still so glad that I'm part of the Barracks, with all of you fine folks. We've had a lot of laughs and a lot of tears, but we all stuck together and made it through.  EGSC @Guthrie finally opted in to that final neural implant, and now he never needs to sleep (not that he ever did before). But he's less edgy and better adjusted, and as always, is a solid performer.


EGSC @Exedor follows suit as well. He's been helping the newbies at NotSoNewgrounds for decades, and has made friends with all of the underprogrammed AI bots that troll the server. Yes, even "special" programs need love, too - and Exedor has a big heart.


I hope you all have a wonderful April. Oh, and a PSA - remember to slather on that SPF 200 before you go outside - ever since the ozone layer collapsed in '29 the UV radiation has become a real pain. But it does make barbequing so much easier - just marinate your steak, toss it on a metal plate and put it outside on a table; 20 minutes later, perfectly medium rare! How convenient!


Have a great month, and keep up all the good work!

_Barracks Roster as of April 1st, 2022:_


Good day, all. Hopefully, some of you had a chuckle over yesterday's roster posting from the future. I figured it would be an interesting idea to imagine what we'd talk about (and experience) if we were still together in 10 - 15 years. Rereading it, I realized it was a little dark and foreboding, but I can attribute that to too many hours of binge-watching Dark Mirror and Upload. But it does make you think - if we're not careful, things can go from bad to worse.


However, today we have good news - @Anonymous-Frog and @EchoTense01 are officially on the roster, bringing the EGB back over 20 registered and active members. It's nice to have some new faces in the barracks, and along those lines, we've just received another request to join the barracks from SFC @Tox. At first glance, it looks like a good match, but as always, we'll bring it up for discussion among the senior officers before a decision is made.


(NOTE TO ALL STAFF - PLEASE PM ME YOUR INSIGHTS ON TOX'S ENTRY REQUEST ASAP - THANK YOU!)


I hope Spring brings new life and hope to everyone, and that maybe, just maybe, this year will be a little closer to the "old" normal that we haven't seen in a while. Gatherings, instead of separation; kind words in person instead of harsh words online; togetherness instead of loneliness, and unity instead of division. It doesn't matter a damn what religion you follow, or your political views, or your identity alignments - we all need a little lovin' every now and then.


For us old folks who remember when the Beatles first published this song, these words still hit home:


"Life is very short, and there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend.

I have always thought that it's a crime,

So, I will ask you once again..." (We Can Work It Out, The Beatles, 1965)


In the end, we're all just people trying to get by.


And that's one of the reasons why I'm proud and honored to be part of the Elite Barracks - this is a fine group of folks who take the time to help others and keep Newgrounds safe, in a professional and courteous way. They do the right thing, not for money, not for glory, but for the simple fact that doing right is its own reward. It's been a great tradition for almost 17 years (yup, founded in 2005 by EGSC @EagleRock, an old friend of mine!) and I hope that as long as Newgrounds is around, we'll be there, supporting the site and the users the best way we know how.


Thank you , one and all! *SALUTES*

Elite Guard Barracks, AT-TEN-TION!


This is your self-awarded with honorary supporter status of June, self-promoted and self-recruiting Lieutenant General speaking. You seem like you could use a hand by having me use the BLAMz00kas to sh00t n0 eff0rt submissi0ns. You may notice my profile page has no favorites (this is intentional and planned to be used as a place that I'll use to post suspicious submissions to be flagged). ROTC members can check it for whistle improvement practice. As for the rest of you soldiers, you can also use this service.


Now that that's clear, where do we fill out the paperwork for joining?

That playlist has an inappropriate meme before memes were a big thing. It might be "illegal" in the middle east, but then again, so would other things, like eating lunch during this month due to ramadan. My way will probably be completely different.

Well, first off, mister Redmage4, no one calls attention here in the Barracks unless you're a ranking officer - and you're not. There is a level of protocol and respect that will be maintained at all times, and by all members and visitors.


Secondly, this is not a "blam club" - we encourage all to vote fairly and with their own discretion, and it is actually against our manifesto to openly target any submission and promote it as blammable. We are tasked with the monitoring and removal of rule-breaking submissions (stolen, re-uploaded blams, copywritten material, improper maturity level, etc.). Submissions that are not rule breaking, but just poor quality / no effort are not our problem. If everyone votes fairly, these poor submissions will fall out on their own.


Thirdly, rule breaking submissions are generally reported here, reviewed by the mods, and handled rather quickly. We do not require a separate posted list. While you are certainly free to maintain your own list and do with it as you please, it is not needed here in the Barracks. The ROTC officers will work on their whistles primarily by checking on improper reviews for submissions, and again, each will flag an entry as they see fit. They are taught what to look for - but not told what to do.


I can appreciate your enthusiasm, so I invite you to visit our website and read our Code of Conduct to become more familiar with us, our history, and what we stand for.


When you have, think about if you're ready for the responsibility of being an Elite Guard. If you still do, then try your request again. We'll be here...

Do not swap out your original entry with something totally different.

what does this rule mean exactly?


do these 2 (or the latest) submission/s violate that rule?

That rule means that once you post an animation, you can't replace the video/flash with something unrelated to what was originally submitted. You can add new scenes, remove new scenes, upgrade it to 4K, clean up errors found in the original, just not something too drastic, such as replacing a Pico animation with a Madness animation with different plots.


I'm not sure if those two submissions break that rule, as they're the same submission. Was one of them supposed to be something else?

I don't know and that's why I'm asking, it's a 3D figurine that was rendered with a program, the second post adds 2 rather small things, a something like a 0.20-second delay before the character starts to spin and a small thong. Other than that it's the same animation/3D art...

AND I don't know if such an item should actually go in the art portal instead of the movies portal

This is your self-awarded with honorary supporter status of June, self-promoted and self-recruiting Lieutenant General speaking. You seem like you could use a hand by having me use the BLAMz00kas to sh00t n0 eff0rt submissi0ns. You may notice my profile page has no favorites (this is intentional and planned to be used as a place that I'll use to post suspicious submissions to be flagged). ROTC members can check it for whistle improvement practice. As for the rest of you soldiers, you can also use this service.

Now that that's clear, where do we fill out the paperwork for joining?

Well, first off, mister Redmage4, no one calls attention here in the Barracks unless you're a ranking officer - and you're not. There is a level of protocol and respect that will be maintained at all times, and by all members and visitors.


I was merely following the rule of the founder of the Barracks by acting like this is the army.
Secondly, this is not a "blam club" - we encourage all to vote fairly and with their own discretion, and it is actually against our manifesto to openly target any submission and promote it as blammable. We are tasked with the monitoring and removal of rule-breaking submissions (stolen, re-uploaded blams, copywritten material, improper maturity level, etc.). Submissions that are not rule breaking, but just poor quality / no effort are not our problem. If everyone votes fairly, these poor submissions will fall out on their own.


I know, and it is for that reason I blam what is sure to get blammed. I believe I got my honorary supporter status by making tactical blams of not even ten second submissions and doing the same with re-posted blams.
Thirdly, rule breaking submissions are generally reported here, reviewed by the mods, and handled rather quickly. We do not require a separate posted list. While you are certainly free to maintain your own list and do with it as you please, it is not needed here in the Barracks. The ROTC officers will work on their whistles primarily by checking on improper reviews for submissions, and again, each will flag an entry as they see fit. They are taught what to look for - but not told what to do.


Understood. It might not be necessary, but my own list could have not yet noticed submissions that don't follow the rules.
I can appreciate your enthusiasm, so I invite you to visit our website and read our Code of Conduct to become more familiar with us, our history, and what we stand for.


Thank you. (Already looked through everything.)
When you have, think about if you're ready for the responsibility of being an Elite Guard. If you still do, then try your request again. We'll be here...
I am ready to enlist in the Elite Guard
