If your gonna do an end of day report keep it to one a day and don't just post it alone instead add it to a multi-quoted post.

Many people are already unhappy with what goes on in here...

Slash, Newgrounds can be a fun way to pass the time but your taking this a little too far I'm actually getting a little worried about ya. ;_;

How long do you think you'll keep this up for?

I think the number of officers has gotten out of hand awhile ago and this is a good opportunity to set it right, or at least better.

That's great JoKeR, but the way I read it he asked us to make a list and then he will either give the 'ok' or make some changes himself.

PM me at the EGB forums and we'll schedule a little chat time at the EGB chatroom (I'll supply link then) and I'll invite Afro_sauce to go there also, we'll talk in depth about who's in and who's out k?

good work though this will be handy

I've almost gotten 100 B/Ps today. wastedwizard and I should be heading up to Sergeant sometime later... Although he will get there a little before me, lol, as he only has about 6 or seven until his rank upgrades.

And then I'm heading over to the gym to swim, workout, and eat TacoBell. ^.^ (god, I LOVE those grilled stuffed burritos....).

7 Days seems very fast, if I leave home for a week I'm outta here? A little harsh don't you think, how about 7 days till a temp is assigned ( chosen earlier on by the absent officer ) and make it for good 30 days later?

One time, I went to Taco Bell, to order a chicken taco. I get my taco and it tastes weird. I look in it, and there is red and white liquid...in the chicken! I just put it down, and my family paid the bill, and we left. I'm never eating at another Taco Bell again.

rule no.1 of life: ALWAYS be nice to the one serving your food.

sounds like it wasn't cooked long enough. Which is sorta stupid.. cooking meat isn't very hard. Hell, I cook steaks for myself everyday with little effort, and I'm a dumbass about everything, lol.

Yea, I know that 7 days are short, but I just do not want to see the work gets delayed because of someone's absence. How about this deal, if an officer is gone for more than 7 days and his job will be replaced from the eighth day. However, if he comes back to the barracks, he can have his job again. In that case, the work will not be delayed for too long, is it a better deal?

I'm not sure but I do know that such decisions is not up to neither of us to make, only Eagle will decide on this, but personally there should be a V1 point ( the point of no return for aircraft speed ).

It sounds reasonable in my opinion. I would be willing to substitute any1 if they ever had to leave for any reason (vacation, business trip, etc.).

On another note, the portal seems to have dried up, so I'm leaving for teh gym early. (sigh) Sergeant will have to wait.. See you guys tonight.

I'm sure with a slight sig adjustment and a bit more activity there people will understand who you are in no-time.

That's good! And I'm sure the Barracks members will agree in that we're glad to have you serving those positions!

I read your post, Police Captain, and I don't think there's much to worry about. There is a policy in effect that determines your inactivity. I'd really have to drudge it up to find it. Major Major_punk made the inactivity system, which I'm sure he can find (or I'll find after a while). I can guarantee that it does reflect inactivity in members depending on their history.

As far as inactive officers, I really do not like such a harsh policy (7 days) on ousting a person. I really feel inactivity of an officer is a judgement call.

I still think the officer position is good to have. Besides, the Laison positions don't really command that much power to warrant them as being a problem. Now, if I had 10 positions on part with the Relations Officer position, that might be a problem. However, Laison positions are good to have and can really help if anything comes about in the future. Besides, it shows that we still care about our allies.

I think the number of officers has gotten out of hand awhile ago and this is a good opportunity to set it right, or at least better.

I don't so much think the officer count is out of hand. I just think we need more active officers on the roster. However, I'm not closed to the idea of removing some officer positions.

I have conversed with _Legend_ today over AIM. He has told me that he is no longer interested in holding the Barracks Intelligence Operations Officer position, so it is now vacated effective immediately. I am interested in retaining the position, though, as I feel the reconaissance power is good to have. This will all be worked out in the future, though.

Naturally. Honestly, that concern for the positions really showed me who cares about their positions here, too. :-)

I don't know if such strictness is necessary, but I'm open for ideas. One idea I was having was to have Lieutenant positions for the more important ranks so that absences can be filled in easier without taking away a position so quickly. That was really the "new positions" I was talking about earlier.

I'll clear this all up tonight, so don't worry.

I'd support 30 days over a mere week. My computer's power supply blew out a short while back, and I was gone for a week...say I hadn't had access to inform the Barracks of that, and I come back a week later to find my position gone? A week's just too short, IMO.
I agree with a possible point of no return. Like, after a month, we could consider an interrim officer, and after 45-60 days maybe, make it so the position is permanent. I know a lot of people do their jobs, but simply aren't on the Barracks consistently enough.

Eagle, surely Major_punk made the activity system when the barracks were just founded. But now it has developed to a nearly 200 pages thread with more and more members joining in. When the thread was made, I was just a citizen and I am getting close to EGP now. In other words, the original system could be outdated. Personally, I think that there is a need to update the system since EGB has much more work to do than it used to have with more members joining in. Still using _thefallenone_'s example: if his job gets replaced since the eighth day instead of just now, the recruit job would have been much better although the current work is not half way bad. Plus, the replacing system will discover many talented members who may not know before they take the jobs, so it is a way which talented COULD be used in the maxium. In addition, the new system will also motivate the officers who leave to show up again after their absence since they will have something to worry about. Eagle, uyou may want to reconsider? ;)

Considering the most advance thing I have ever seen is MS paint this is big. It's 1:30 AM so I'll start tomorrow, thanks a lot.

Sorry for the double post, but Eagle, I said that the officers could take their jobs back if they come back. There just needs to be some replacement when they are gone for long.

At 3/13/06 06:21 PM, hot_and_charming wrote: Eagle, uyou may want to reconsider? ;)

Honestly, I do not feel it is outdated. The activity system is rather intricate and is meant to gauge activity based how long you're been here and how much you've posted. I don't really remember it, but it goes something like this:

If you are a full member (30+ posts or so), inactivity happens in 30 days.
If you are a newer member (10-30 posts), inactivity happens in 15 days.
If you are a brand new member (<10 posts), inactvity happens in 5 days.

That is probably wrong, as I haven't found it yet. I will search it up later tonight. I really feel this system is strong in determining membership strength, as we had members that gave us 1-2 posts back then as well. Trust me; the system is not outdated.

In regards to officers, I plan on having Lieutenant positions for those postions that are more important. If the main officer is not in the Barracks at the time something is needed, the Lieutenant takes over. The less important positions are used sporadically and can be swapped out as necessary.

Once we start fresh, I will be stricter with our inactivity policy.

There are tons of tutorials to help you out, especially on the GIMP site. If you need help with a specific aspect of it, feel free to PM me on the Forums or something.

Hey eagle, can you validate me on the forums for our site? I still can't post. :(

Just so you know, you could post, just not in the Barracks Main Floor. However, you're validated, so you can post with full membership status now.

I'll get crackin' on their tutorials tomorrow, I've written a 2 post story for the mafia to once again prove my writing abilities and calm them down, and now start making art. Or at least some easy stuff like tracing letters with a different color.

Excellent idea! I am managing to start posting here more often so I can keep my activity up to date.

At first I was looking at it and had no idea what it was but then once I read it I found out how useful it can be.

I dont know if you have it but I have the mojority of the Barracks members profile links in html format so you can link to their profiles, I can send it to you if you want =P.

good evening to everyone still active today. i see there has been much activity ive missed, thanks to the stupid computers at school. thanks to peregrinus and ghost_phantom, sir, for the nice pics. people are so nice here, i think ill make a little collection of all my seemingly pointless but self-fulfilling milestones captured. i appreciate the efforts. im excited now to hear that eagle has some new things planned for the egb. i have no doubt that they will be beneficial to all. hope the b/ping is going well today for all those that have had the chance. ill be browsing around for the remainder of the night if anyone needs me. back to teh portal! *salute*

Off topic, I've made a couple of pics for myself and these will be my final ( hopefully ) work in MS paint. The real charter is the "Phantom" from the game "kingdom hearts" They actually made something good in that game theme...here & here .

On topic: My average for this week ( on day 3 ) is good so far and I hope to keep it up and push these other fast B/Pers away.

I stopped using it because I didn't like what I made. I'd rather just use common sense for who's a member then some official policy.

thanks, sir. you definitely posted this right as i had it loading in another window. youve saved me some humilitation and a blam point. much appreciated.

Ok, this might be a long one, and sorry, but I really can't be bothered to quote every relevant post (its almost 1AM here and time I was asleep really) so bear with me.

First up welcome to all of the new members, there seem to be more and more joining every day. It is particularly nice to see them so active!

Secondly, the idea of having Luitenants is an excellent idea for those positions that are most important. It isn't the fault of the officer in charge if they are absent for a week or two due to vacation or internet trouble (see Slash recently for example), and it would seem harsh to remove them from their position due to inactivity. However, although there are a lot of members here now, how many are qualified for officer or luitenant positions?? It may be an idea to make an officer in a less important role (maybe mafia liason- I don't know what that involves, but it doesn't seem much) a luitenant in a more important one to ensure that the most active and respected members remain in control. Should more recruits join then this can always be changed.

Finally, I ranked up to Elite Guard Praporshchik at long last about 4 hours ago, but was out training when it happened hence the delayed celebration! It feels so good to see a bit of gold in my profile :). Bring on the 1500 point gaps!

End of Day Report:

About 40 points, plus the rank up :)
No reviews, whistles or posts, as I have been out almost all day

So, off to the bunks at long last!!

*salutes*

congrats on joining me in the prap/1500 levels! its now a long road ahead until second lieutenant for both of us, and i expect to see you there not too long from now. hope 8k b/p feels good, cause now the going gets tougher. good luck!
