It was a joke. We talk and joke on MSN alot, so I guess it's an inside joke. He's not turning emo, but we're making theories as to what would happen should the portal dry up completely for several hours...

On another note, congrats on leveling up! When did that happen? I seemed to miss it...

Probably sooooo many reviews you flaggefd. I kinda hate you for flagging tons of reviews and getting a gold whistle now. From now on daily, I gotta check the Abusive reviewers thread and flag any abusive reviews I see there and try to get a gold whistle.

And for fuck sake, 5 new pages?!?!

good luck in that. here are some more tips for flagging in the abuse review thread. check out the old pages in the thread there are always some leftovers that people forget to flag. check out all the pages some people have caps lock issues or make high rating abusive reviews just so they don't get marked since some people tend to look at more low rating reviews then high rating ones. oh check my profile under my favorites some of them are my favorites while others just have a lot of abusive reviews to flag up. Lastly don't lose hope and keep flagging I wasn't out for the whistle when I got it I just did it for 2 reasons.

1 to get a good laugh at people who didn't know how to review
2 to get the abuse of NG

As for not registering for the forums I didn't and still don't have a steady Email address.
this one I have now is not even steady. I had to keep changing the email address of my NG account just so I could keep it active so that was why I never registered. also why cant there be 2 people in charge of that role. I focusmore on the abusive reviews then I do on the abusive flash I get so deep into my flagging that I sometimes don't look at the portal I missed out on at least 3 abusive flash movies because of it so why not make nimmer in charge of the portal and I will do the abusive reviews that way the job could be don't more effectively. oh and if someone knows how to get a free account on the internet please tell me so I can register ok :)

I noticed your new introductory post there, already. Thanks for the extra effort, Sergeant!

______________

I'm glad people are agreeing with the changes so far. I realize many believe that the position count is getting out of hand, but I still don't feel that way. There are only 5 positions that really warrant constant staffing (Chief Barracks Officer, Relations, Recruitment, Records, Portal Violations). The rest (Portal Ops, Intel Ops, NGPD Laison, Mafia Laison) are really positions that are needed for specific time periods. Of course, there's no need for more positions at this point. However, Lieutenant positions are a different story.

These positions do not really require Lieutenants, since their application here are based on situations that need them. However, if extra manpower (or womanpower) is required in any of these positions, a second Officer can be appointed in that case:

Barracks Mafia Laison
Barracks NGPD Laison

Both of these officer positions are rather specific and don't really require an assistant. However, if necessary, a second one of each can be appointed (and work concurrently on the same level). Naturally, other Laisons to different groups might come up in the future. If any new Laison positions open up (new or concurrent), they'll still be equals and still report to the Barracks Relations Officer.

Barracks Intelligence Operations Officer

This position is more of a support position, as it reports directly to Portal Ops. Similar to Laison positions, if more Intel Ops are necessary for recon purposes, they will be concurrently appointed.
Barracks Portal Operations Officer

Barracks Portal Operations Officer

I consider Portal Ops kind of like a war general for the Barracks. Since the Chief Barracks Officer also deals with Portal Ops, I don't see the need for more than two Portal Ops besides him/her. However, if more than one Portal Ops is needed, they will be concurrent as well (like several generals sitting in a war room, for example).

Barracks Portal Violations Officer - As important as this position is, I do not know if the need for a Lieutenant is necessary. Concurrent Portal Violations Officers might work as well.

However, I am seriously considering adding Lieutenant positions for some of the "Big Four" to bridge the gaps when some members cannot be here in the Barracks. Here are my current suggestions:

Barracks Records Officer - This position probably warrants a Lieutenant, as record-keeping is very important to the Barracks. This way, if the Records Officer cannot make an update one week, his or her Lieutenant can take over for that time.

Barracks Recruitment Officer
Barracks Relations Officer
Chief Barracks Officer

Actually, I do not think that any of these three positions really need Lieutenant positions, as they rely on each other in the first place. For instance:

If the Recruitment Officer is absent and a new recruit comes, the Chief Barracks Officer or the Relations Officer give them the necessary introductions.

If the Relations Officer is absent, the Recruitment Officer acts as the Relations Officer in his/her absence. Also, the Chief Barracks Officer supports the position if necessary

If the Chief Barracks Officer is absent, the Relations Officer steps in. Also, if both the Chief Barracks Officer and the Relations Officer are gone, the Recruitment Officer takes over.

SInce these three officer positions feed off of each other so much, there is no need for Lieutenants in these positions.

While your forte might be on abusive reviews, you can't say you don't flag flash on the Portal! Fact remains, you are not just an expert on abusive reviews. I've seen you give expert guidance on flagging flash in the Portal as well. Therefore, I see you fully qualified for the position. However, if necessary, Supreme Commander Nimmer might be re-appointed as a second Portal Violations Officer if necessary.

As for a steady e-mail address, I recommend www.gmail.com to you.

Will do, Sir.

Both of these officer positions are rather specific and don't really require an assistant. However, if necessary, a second one of each can be appointed (and work concurrently on the same level).

Indeed, I agree that the NGPD job has very little to do as is, however, I recognize that there will be times when I may be on a vacation of something of the like, and may be unable to filfill my duties.

I don't think I need an assistant, as my position can be easily done by Captain Firestorm if need be. He's on 18 hours a day, and already posts there fairly often (being Recruitment officer).

What do you think, Sir?

Necessary and filled. End.

Barracks Relations Officer

Phantom represents the Barracks very well, hes been here for months and is firm what what he thinks is right. No problems here.

Barracks Recruitment Officer

Slash fits this perfectly, hes a nice approachable guy and very helpful. No problems here.

Barracks Records Officer
I suggest the Records Officer position be taken into consdieration, as I feel regular updates are necessary in the future.

Is it alright with you if I have a little talk with him in the next few days?

Let's go over the other positions, now:

I'll take these are still debatable then...

Barracks Advancement Officer

I also think vacating this a good idea, to be honest I doubt he even knows hes an officer here.

Barracks Portal Violations Officer

This position holds alot of potential, I'm curious to see how LittleWashu handles it.

It'll be sad to see nimmer without an officer position, though he holds alot of respect.

Barracks Portal Operations Officer

Why do we need someone to give us a strategy when voting on the portal?
I need an example of what exactly you mean by this.

Barracks Intelligence Operations Officer

This can be useful, but whoever takes this position must be active but only post important updates.

You have my full support. I don't like removing people from positions unless necessary, so any work you can do to better the situation is just fine by me.

I'm really set in keeping the ones I have already, it's just a matter of who is installed in those positions.

Haha, true. The position is no longer needed, though.

Barracks Portal Violations Officer

This is one position I'm still in the air about.

Barracks Portal Operations Officer

Why do we need someone to give us a strategy when voting on the portal?

Well, protecting the Portal isn't just as simple as voting. It's important to gather information and predict actions of the Portal's adversaries. For instance, if someone is planning a huge spam day, it's good to be prepared. Portal Ops is in charge of taking information from Intel Ops and determining predicted courses of action. Also, Portal Ops should be heavily involved with other long-term strategies (which are currently classified).

Think of Portal Ops as a security advisor of sorts.

Barracks Intelligence Operations Officer

This can be useful, but whoever takes this position must be active but only post important updates.

Agreed. Keep in mind that Portal Ops takes care of this job as well, but it's always good to have more than one person gathering information.

I will except this position since it is something I already do. besides with higher whistle power it will be just that much easier to help keep NG clean from bad reviewers and abusive flash. oh here is something I want to share with you. To everyone there it may seem Impossible to get a gold whistle but the bar is not as high as you think it is. keep that in mind.

Thank you sir. I have always tried to maintain quality communication skills. I have found that valid comm. skills can give an edge no matter what the task. If somone is unable to communicate, especailly with opposing parties, it is very difficult to mediate situations. it has been noted that there has been nothing to arise between the mafia and the barracks in a very long time, I plan to keep it that way. I understand that Ghost_Phantom's recommendation took this a very long way. I will not let you, phantom, or the barracks down.

I wanted everyone to know how I felt about the matter. I do not want anyone to sit back quietly contemplating different aspects of this, and not saying anything. It is always better if anyone has anything to add to do so while it is small, rather than let it expand to somthing much larger and more difficult to deal with.
