That was a hoax for april fools. When you go to I-mockery, theres a blog about the prank, and how they left the change up for the 2nd in order to make it even more humorous.

yikes its been a while since anyone made a post here. so i think ill take it upon myself to revive the barracks with good news.

it seems that praporschik world_famous has gone MIA after he went AWOL and killed all those babies :(

hes being replaced by 2nd Lieutenant world_famous, who should hopefully not be such a noob-baby-killer.

so yea thats basically it :)

Hooray! It's not nice to kill babies. They're much better eaten while still kicking.

*Taps Major SlashFirestorm on the shoulder*

AHEM...

Good day, soldiers! Sorry about my absence, but I was unable to post until I cleared some things out on NG. For those of you that interested, just IM me on AIM.

DEFCON Update:

The Portal was running at a steady DEFCON 3 all day, and continues to do so. Keep alert for those flash, as they're coming in at a nice, decent rate!

In regards to other things, I was lurking, but saw nothing really to respond to. Any topics at hand, soldiers?

I really need to learn how to refresh the page before I post.

Congratulation on your "promotion," Second Lieutenant!

Also, what happened with Colonel Ghost_Phantom? I read his post, but can anyone else shed more light on the matter?

i dont know whats happened to ghost phantom sir. wastedwizard was the one who was going to talk the matter over and deposit for our departing colonel, but neither has sent back any information regarding the issue.

other than that, no real news. other than what bonus stage just posted. and thanks for the congrats sir.

Thanks Second Lieutenant. I was wondering about that and thought I was the only one in the dark.

No problem...I just made Colonel myself, but I can't show it, since I'd have to give up my pretty madknt sig to do so...

dont worry, colonel. were all in the dark as of now (atleast i think we are) because nobody has mentioned it yet. ghost said he would if he ever came back, but thats just it. we might never know. but about the sig, why dont you just ask him to edit the one you have?

Eagle, you can also go to an animate sign club and they will update your BBS sign if you ask nicely. ;)

How to get back into your account after being locked out:

'Go to make a post on the BBS when you're not signed in, type in your username as Ghost_Phantom, type in your password, fill in some random letters as the title and body then in the attachments try attaching a picture that's either a jpg or a gif that's over the filesize, then go to make the post and you'll be told the picture's too large, that will sign you in and any area of the site you visit will be signed in.

Alternatively just make a post using your Ghost_Phantom account and you'll get signed in that way too"

Major_punk, I just noticed that you are level 11 now. The icon looks cool with your dark aura. Congratulations on the promotion.

He looks too much like Ghost_Phantom. It's almost annoying...

lol, in a week or so, I'll be level 11, dark aura, as well. XD
But by then Ghost_Phantom will be level 12, so it'll be alright.

Personally, I think that level 12 works better with light aura. A dark aura will make it too red sice the barbied boxing glove is red itself. The level 13 baseball bat looks better with neutral aura. I may change my aura to the fittable colors once I level up. :)

Ihave noticed a lot of this too, I cant remember who but I was always getting these two people mixed up for that reason.

There are also a couple red aura level 10s here, but slash shall be level 11 soon...

I am moving up ranks slow but I ant wait until I reach the top 100 =P.

If I do.

Well...it is good that I am a light aura user. Before Major_punk leveled up, I saw at least 3 guys with dark level 10 icon, how confusing! Eagle has the same level and aura with me, but he is easy to recognize for his eagle sign.

Yeah. And I'm safe being a neutral aura user.

Oh I see what you mean. This is kinda unrelated but I've decided I'm gonna bump up gfox's old top 50 saviors thread and start updating it with the top 100 instead, and do it roughly every 2 weeks. I'll get the first one done this weekend.

I'm very excited about it. =)

Heh, well I think black and red really look good together so I use them as much as I can. Like in my profile, sig pic and level icon.

Although I might change my aura when I reach level 13. =|

Well sir, I congratulate you on your promotion. You have come a long way. Per your sig, madknt I am sure will be able to fix it for you, but I gave it a try. This may provide as a temporary until you are able to get a true updated sig from him. It is just a thought.

Eage looks awesome with the EG Colonel badge. An eagle for Eagle, what can be better? Plus, in European culture, eagle stands for power and war-like. Nice badge, EagleRock.

Eagle did you smudge your sig to get that badge in if so i can make it so it isnt i just need the origional sig
salutes

madknt made the original sig. that one with the colonel badge was turkeybean's work. check in with him.

Haha this is kind of like when Major_punk got Elite Guard Major or whatever rank that had major in it.

Eagle for Eagle and Major for Major I suppose.

Where is the Pink or Afro badge?

DEFCON Update:

Still DEFCON 3, I'm glad to report!

I would, but I don't want to bother the guy. He was nice enough to make me the sig without me asking, and I'd hate to ask him again for a sig...that's just me. I did consider it, though.

I thank you for updating my sig! I wonder, though...how did you mimic the effect that madknt did on the Elite Guard badge? I use the GIMP, so I know a bit about image manipulation, but you matched it perfectly...would you care to share?

Yes, I love eagles. Eagles mean a lot to me for many reasons, including the whole power and war-like manner. I just generally love the bird, too. Also, being an Eagle Scout kind of gives you an affinity for the animal... :-)

I REALLY NEED TO REFRESH BEFORE I POST...

Sorry for the double-post, soldiers...

If I had the original picture, I wouldn't have this problem. ;-) But yes, as Second_Lieutenant world_famous said, madknt made the sig. Of course, I hope PFC Turkeybean lets me know how he modified the rank to look like it does now, so I can do this myself in the future.

You are very welcome sir. I do not mean to bother you, but if you would not mind, I beleive the update I am posting on the bottom is a great deal closer to the original. I have found minor flaws in the first that I felt obligated to fix. I will of course leave the final judgement to you, but as I said, the one at the bottom is fixed. Thank you for taking notice in the matching. It was a little trial and error. I used a couple techiniques, but the main was a spot healing brush. I was able to clear the old badge from the sig, and add the new one over top. Using the spot healing brush makes it as though the bg is brought to the front. It can be quite handy for situations such as these. Thank you sir, enjoy.
