it's like that one episode of Hey Arnold I watched as a kid.... Chocolate Boy was the greatest chocolate fiend in the entire town. All the big 5th grade kids would slowly dangle ONE piece of chocolate to a huddled, starving Chocolate Boy. He was so desparate for chocolate, that the 5th grade kids would tell him to "roll-over, "sit", etc. and he would do it, belittled of his dignity just so he could have that ONE piece of chocolate. One piece was never enough, so he would go on doing it as long as possible, just to have only ONE piece each time.
What the cartoon doesn't tell you, though, is that he eventually dies of Heart failure in his late 50's because of too much chocolate as a young kid. His ashes we're scattered to the four winds in accordance to his will, and all chocolate companies eventually dried out after a diminoshed source of income.

You people certainly have posted a lot during my absence. About the inactivity system, I believe that it is still fine although there needs to be some slight improvements. I will comment on it at the forums when Major_punk finishes the improvements. I sort of like the idea of having a replacing system, but 7 days are a bit brutal. However, 30 days are a little bit too long as things may get delayed in that span. Personally, I would say 20 days as the limit. About new members, say give them 10 days as the limit. By the way, JoKeR's update on page 189 was nice, I like the idea of reminding inactive users weekly so that they can remember it if they drop by.

I think I'm getting addicted to Newgrounds..... lol, this B/P thing is pretty awesome, and just keeps getting better as I get rewarded with higher and higher ranks.. I love it.. This must be Tom's ingenious way of addicting us to the portal so he doesn't have to sift through the portal himself....
But I'll overlook this because I'm just a mindless Corporal drone whose sole purpose is to protect the portal. :D

You really think so? Honestly, I haven't given out positions in a while. I'm only considering the Mafia Laison tonight because the member in question was recommended by Lt. Col. Ghost_Phantom.

I guess I just have a higher standard for what an officers qualitys should be, but basically to sum it up in a sentence:

I want the Barracks officers to be like the Newgrounds mods.

Now for you guys who just read that I don't want to hear any "OMFG but those n00bs b@nned me!!" think about it, they're all loyal, knowledgable, trusted, experienced, respected, willing to do the dirty work, willing to sacrifice and able to calm an argument.

Now wouldn't that be a good guideline for picking our Barracks officers?

The big four, in my opinion everything else is just a branch off an already existing position.
While I agree that the "big four" is important, I think other support positions are necessary. If you are really concerned, I might even tier the officer positions. However, that might not even be that necessary, as we really know who are most important here.

I don't like the idea of ranking officers, sure some will be respected more but I'm not a fan of that because things can change in an instant but for those rankings to be updated will take too much time.

I will explain my stance later tonight once I return home.

Alright, I'm gonna go to hit the bunks now anyway. And I don't mean to sound like I'm challenging you or demanding anything, but I want to get my two cents in before it's too late.

I would like to clarify something that me and Dream_of_Duke seem to disagree on, lol. What is the Barracks "official" policy on whistling resubmits? If you haven't seen the Wade thread that Blue Hippo showed us a bit bit, give it a read. I believe that we should listen to Wade on this and simply blam resubmits unless they break another flag-worthy offense such as real pornography or auto-spawning pop-ups. For Dream_of_Duke's view, see the NGPD most recent page. I'm looking for EagleRock's say on this, but of course anyone can voice their opinion on it.

The only thing about that thread is that it was posted almost 2 years ago. I, myself, don't believe that is being upheld to this day because I constantly see blammed material being resubmitted by the same author on a daily basis. That is just my spin on it. So forgive me if I am wrong, Sir.

Hello, fellow Elite Guards!

Well, I promised you all that I'd address you tonight, and I shall deliver.

There are tons of talks about inactivity and whatnot, but in my opinion, they are all moot points right now. Activity in an officer position is really dependent on the position, isn't it? Therefore, I'll leave the inactivity debate aside and talk about each position one-by-one:

Chief Barracks Officer

Naturally, this is Yours Truly. I certainly don't plan on letting the Barracks down anytime soon, so you can expect me to be here for a while. I think we can all agree that this position is necessary.

Barracks Relations Officer

This position is also vital, as the Relations Officer is in charge of dealing with all Barracks Relations (duh). I think we can all agree that this position is necessary, and that Lieutenant Colonel Ghost_Phantom is exemplary in that position.

Barracks Recruitment Officer

This position, in my opinion, is also important, as the Recruitment Officer is the one that introduces the new members to the Barracks, and should be here at all times to answer questions for potential recruits. The current position holder, Captain SlashFirestorm, has been exemplary in this position.

Barracks Records Officer

This one is a given. We need to keep track of the Barracks Roster on a regular basis. Our current Records Officer, Captain Afro_sauce, has done great rosters in the past, but we have not had a roster update in a while. I suggest the Records Officer position be taken into consdieration, as I feel regular updates are necessary in the future.

Let's go over the other positions, now:

Barracks Advancement Officer

This was awarded to Supreme Commander XwaynecoltX, as he is excellent at motivating others in their B/P styles. However, our Supreme Commander has been inactive lately and this position has kind of fallen by the wayside. At this point in time, I recommend vacating the position indefinately and not including it in the current officer list anymore. I will of course keep it in the list as a past position, but it will not be filled by another member.

Barracks Portal Violations Officer

This officer position seems to have controversy, as many would argue it is not necessary. However, I feel Portal Violations is an important aspect to the Barracks, as flagging flash and reviews is a vital part of our duty to protecting the Portal. Our current Portal Violations Officer, Supreme Commander nimmer, has been reliable in the past, but has lately been inactive in this role. However, it is obvious that another member here has been active in this role. Therefore, I petition Lieutenant Colonel LittleWashu for this position, as she is constantly serving in this role. I mean no respect to our Supreme Commander, but I think we all can agree that Lieutenant Colonel LittleWashu is the most qualiifed for this role.

Barracks Portal Operations Officer

I think this position is important in times of extreme Portal activity, and is not really a constantly needed position. However, it's not a position to fall by the wayside. When those times come and strategy is needed, we need Portal Ops to lead the way. I still entrust Lieutenant Colonel Ghost_Phantom with this role. He has ben the Interim Portal Ops since TITROTU's absence. At this point, I am appointing him the full Portal Ops effective immediately.

Barracks Intelligence Operations Officer

This is another position that I consider important during times of Portal threats. -Mitsubishi- was notably good at Intel Ops, gaining information about upcoming Portal activites and threats. Our current Intel Ops is _Legend_, who has declined the ability to retain the position. Therefore, this position is vacant. However, I am not removing this position, as it will eventually be needed in the future. However, unlike Portal Ops, it can be left alone until said time.

Barracks NGPD Laison

Many would argue this position unnecessary, but I feel it important to keep up Barracks/NGPD HQ relations. Sergeant Peregrinus is perfect for this role, and I see little need for change here.

Barracks Mafia Laison

Just like the NGPD Laison, this position is important for Barracks relations with the Mafia. Lieutenant Colonel Ghost_Phantom has personally recommended Private Turkeybean for this role. Seeing as noone had objections, I am appointing him effective immediately.

I feel these changes will help the Barracks run more efficiently and the new appointments will give us needed positions filled. I would like to deliberate more on our Records Officer. If Captain Afro_sauce feels he can still fill the position, I am glad to keep him in the role.

Let me all know what you think!

I never flagged resubmits, unless they were done in rapid succession. However, after being exposed to Wade's post a few days ago, I stopped flagging resubmits all together. That being said, I'm with Wad e on this one and against flagging resubmits. It will submit-ban them for half a month and keep this tripe off the Portal.

Agreed, of course, lol. You've always been a strong source of leadership for the Barracks, and in the 100+ pages I've been a member, you've never disappointed even once.

He likes his job though, so I suppose, if he can hold back some of his sexy, he's okay. :-P

Our current Records Officer, Captain Afro_sauce, has done great rosters in the past, but we have not had a roster update in a while. I suggest the Records Officer position be taken into consdieration, as I feel regular updates are necessary in the future.

It is an important role, particularly with the rapid growth the Barracks has had recently. If he feels he can continue, great, if not, yeah, we should look for someone who does that kind of thing easily.

Barracks Advancement Officer:
At this point in time, I recommend vacating the position indefinately and not including it in the current officer list anymore. I will of course keep it in the list as a past position, but it will not be filled by another member.

Yeah, it is kind of low on the priority list. Most of us Elite Guards know how to B/P effectively, and if not, there are many members who can help.

Barracks Portal Violations Officer:
This officer position seems to have controversy, as many would argue it is not necessary. However, I feel Portal Violations is an important aspect to the Barracks, as flagging flash and reviews is a vital part of our duty to protecting the Portal.

I mean no respect to our Supreme Commander, but I think we all can agree that Lieutenant Colonel LittleWashu is the most qualiifed for this role.

I agree. We love you, Nimmer, but it's hard to compete with the flagging machine LittleWashu is, hehe. She's more than proved herself with her ascension to the Gold Whistle, so I support her. Protecting Newgrounds is about more than just B/P's, and since most of the Barracks members have silver whistles, we can make a difference...and she can help those without silver whistles attain it.

Barracks Portal Operations Officer:
I still entrust Lieutenant Colonel Ghost_Phantom with this role. He has ben the Interim Portal Ops since TITROTU's absence. At this point, I am appointing him the full Portal Ops effective immediately.

Agree. It's pretty obvious TITROTU ain't coming back anytime soon, and Ghost_Phantom has been a consistently active member who excels at his duties.

Barracks Intelligence Operations Officer
I am not removing this position, as it will eventually be needed in the future. However, unlike Portal Ops, it can be left alone until said time.

Agreed. The fileswap threat has all but vanished, but it's a good idea to have this position available in case a new threat should someday arise.

Barracks NGPD Laison
Many would argue this position unnecessary, but I feel it important to keep up Barracks/NGPD HQ relations. Sergeant Peregrinus is perfect for this role, and I see little need for change here.

Agreed. He was a strong member when in the NGPD and still provides help to them when needed. Even if he makes fun of me to his ex g/f...lol.

Barracks Mafia Laison
Just like the NGPD Laison, this position is important for Barracks relations with the Mafia. Lieutenant Colonel Ghost_Phantom has personally recommended Private Turkeybean for this role. Seeing as noone had objections, I am appointing him effective immediately.

Agreed. Luckily we haven't had any problems with the Mafia, and with a good liason, hopefully none will ever arise. Congratulations, Private!

Let me all know what you think!

No problems from me.

I never flagged resubmits, unless they were done in rapid succession. However, after being exposed to Wade's post a few days ago, I stopped flagging resubmits all together.

Hence the importance of this role. While Major Major_punk has mentioned the "Big Four," I think this might make it the "Big Five."

Exactly. I'm glad you see my point.

Agreed. The fileswap threat has all but vanished, but it's a good idea to have this position available in case a new threat should someday arise.

Right. Like I said, the position should stay around, but can be vacated until needed. Of course, I and Portal Ops can determine when this is necessary.

Agreed. He was a strong member when in the NGPD and still provides help to them when needed. Even if he makes fun of me to his ex g/f...lol.

I would daresay he not only helps keep up relations between us and the NGPD but also helps the NGPD in their own duties. Lately, as he claims, he has not had as much push there, but I'm sure he'll remedy this soon.

Agreed. Luckily we haven't had any problems with the Mafia, and with a good liason, hopefully none will ever arise. Congratulations, Private!

That's my goal...keep everything smooth. Also, by appointing a new Mafia Laison, we can really send the message that we take our alliance seriously. Make us proud, Private Turkeybean!

Thanks for the clarification, sir! Besides, more points for us! Heheh.

Haha...I'm just supporting the recommended course of action. Besides, it makes more sense to blam in my opinion. Whistling submissions as such just gets everything all messy. Blamming is a simple solution as many will blam a resubmit anyway.

Great update, sir! I must mention, though, that Lieutenant Colonel LittleWashu is not the current Portal Violations Officer yet, as she has not accepted the position. However, I'm sure this will work itself out soon enough.

Well, I'm off to the bunks...another hard day at the Barracks! See you all on the Portal tomorrow!

Thanks, *permission o be blunt, Sir!*

*Permission granted*.

Why the hell would she say no? But for the sake of technicalities and boredom I'll change it.

i know i've not been the most active officer lately but the trouble is that at the moment i'm not able to do the night shift (cet). and it's a rather hazy position: you have to discover the tefth and to find out the original. plus posting and stuff anyway if the need exist for me to give up my position for a downsizing of the officers mess no prob. as the older members will remember i allways warned ER for overstaffing. i see that the faq has been adapted. very well.

This officer position seems to have controversy, as many would argue it is not necessary. However, I feel Portal Violations is an important aspect to the Barracks, as flagging flash and reviews is a vital part of our duty to protecting the Portal. Our current Portal Violations Officer, Supreme Commander nimmer, has been reliable in the past, but has lately been inactive in this role. However, it is obvious that another member here has been active in this role. Therefore, I petition Lieutenant Colonel LittleWashu for this position, as she is constantly serving in this role. I mean no respect to our Supreme Commander, but I think we all can agree that Lieutenant Colonel LittleWashu is the most qualiifed for this role.

actually i think littlewashu has a different profile as i, she uses all the whistles. i tend to focus on stolen flashes. but i agree that she is the most qualified for the role. As i allways said i considered my role here as a temporary one and am willing to take a step back. an advisory voice and peacekeeper is more my style anyway. in the background.


I agree. We love you, Nimmer, but it's hard to compete with the flagging machine LittleWashu is, hehe. She's more than proved herself with her ascension to the Gold Whistle, so I support her. Protecting Newgrounds is about more than just B/P's, and since most of the Barracks members have silver whistles, we can make a difference...and she can help those without silver whistles attain it.

indeed protecting the portal is certainly more as just b/p and i am glad i could help this club realising that. the only regret i have is that i didn't offer my position to littlewashu myself.

I do beleive, from what I saw, that nimmer or LittleWashu deserve thus position. It is hard to choose, for one, I don't know who has been here longer. Two, both are very high in one field. So, I will just role along with everyone here I guess. But good job doing your jobs guys!
