But there is no autodeletion like people claim, and it is much easier to simply notify the admin through e-mail rather than bust our butts attempting to lower the score that much. Also, how do you know that the deletion occured due to the score? Couldn't it be due to an e-mail to the admin behind the scenes?

*slaps self* E-mail, why didn't I think of that earlier? Thanks for the idea, Master Sergeant!

Well gentlemen, I have just emailed Tom. I suspect that he'll be right on it. I'll report to you after we sort this out.

Ya ive been dreading this too. Damn 1500 is just so damn much more than 1000 eh.
Oh well i guess its easier than going from EG General to EG supreme Commander

Heh I even complained about police lieutenant (500 b/p) to Police Captain (1000 b/p) only a 500 gap.

You mean about that DBZ file-swap? Its not worth bothering him about. I highly doubt hell be right on it either, that is if he does remove it.

Before you go AWOL without inspecting the barracks, let me take you on a quick tour:

Please note this is NOT just another B/P club. I was debating making this group as I figured either people would make fun of it or accuse me of copying other clubs. Really, this is a place where the NG users can congregate and talk about anything, with the following rules:

- Anyone can post here, as long as they are in the Elite Guard or are genuinely interested in the Elite Guard.
- You must act like you are in the army. If you are not in the EG, act like a potential recruit.
- Respect your superior officers, just like in the army. If you're a private, show respect to a sergeant. You can joke around and everything, but at least keep with the whole theme and act like you are being insubordinate.

Well,here's a tip to keep this club up and running.

1.Never just post with a "Reporting in Sir" or anything that falls in that kinda catagory... That can be considered spamming..Cause a few mods warned the NGArmy about that awhile ago. (I should know,I used to be in the NG Army awhile back).. Add more conversation to it..

Just don't walk the path the NG Army did and you won't have any problems..

Thank you, SIR! I appreciate your tip! The only "reporting in" post anyone gives here is for their first post in the Barracks. Usually it is complemented by a request to join, but those that have been here already do not do so. I will make sure to watch this, as well as the BB submit posts.

Thanks again, Captain, SIR!

Well, That might be, but Tom always updates the portal, so he might come across the flashes that have low scores.
It could happen.

Tom doesn't update the portal, the portal updates itself. And though he MIGHT come across those flashes it's highly unlikely that he would take them off just because they have low scores.

and it's highly unlikely he will take them off just because one user asks him to. unless there has been foul play.

or alot of users ask him

True, sir. That is why I said that the person e-mailing them must show proof! Very good point, though, sir. If you see a fileswapped flash, just make sure to report it. Enough e-mails with sufficient proof of fileswapping (or other foul play as General Nimmer mentioned) will turn the tides.

yeah, and mailing them for every flash you hate will only work counter-productive. think of that.

i just wanted to mention that before some people get the idea of mass-emailing the fulps.

Well, no, sir. I only mean specific cases, such as fileswapping. Poor quality of flash is purely judgemental based on those voting while the flash is UJ. Surely you didn't think I would just be spamming Wade Fulp's e-mail with flash I dislike, sir!

Well so far I have kept my quota for ten days in a row... I hope that in 4-5 days I'll have my next rank. I'm on the portal way too much...

Well, unfortunately, I am way behind today due to my long absence. I was actually about 100 points ahead yesterday and was ready to move up my schedule, but today was so low for me! I only received about 35 points so far with little hope for catching up. Oh well. There's always tomorrow.

Congrats on your schedules, though!

sorry to hear about that sir. you'll catch up in no time!

thank you sir. i'm just worried because i may not be able to keep up my schedule. i say this because i might be gone all of tomorrow. but, that just means i'll have to work twice as hard the next day to earn it all back.

We'll see, Corporal. I am currently at 44 B/P with about 20 UJ submits, which should bring me up to around 62-63. That's pretty good, as I can make 140 B/P tomorrow, as I'll be on the Portal all day tomorrow.

Don't worry, Corporal. Losing a day isn't the worst thing to happen...just keep up a diligent schedule when you can and you'll see higher ranks before you know it!

oh i'm not worried about it sir. i'm below 100 b/p points for my new rank. so one day shouldn't halt my promotion too badly.

I greatly appologize, sirs! I had taken a 2-day leave-of-absence to be with my family for the holidays. I will resume regular patrol sarting tomorrow!

I hope you all had a great Christmas!

Sincerly,
Private First Class -Mitsubish-

i think we do fairly well on that. we dont talk about games or what happened at home today. so i think we're doing good in that category.

ouch, you have a lot of trust in this thread, don't you? well, when you decide to, you're welcome to. and thanks for all the advice you gave. even though it's all pretty much in the faq, but most people don't read them. so it's good you restated them.

Well, if you peruse the history of the Barracks, you'll see I have trouble with the exact opposite... :-)

Well, we do have a real simple basis for the Barracks, sir...this is the Elite Guard Barracks. Topics can range from the daily Portal activities that we have covered and can even be just shooting the breeze with fellow Elite Guards. However, one thing is unchanged here...we always show respect to our superiors, and always remember we are in the Elite Guard and must act as such.

By the way,it's NewgroundsSPG...I'm updating some info on my alt accounts..

I noticed, sir. I just happened to notice your three alts in your sig before and was curious.

Oh,I forgot to add that I might join..I'm not sure,I think I'll just stick around to see how this club winds up..

Well, sir, we believe that the Barracks are a great place to be, and I, as the Chief Barracks Officer, plan on protecting the integrity of this place. If you choose to join, Captain, sir, you will of course be welcome here! We appreciate your advice and I, at least, plan to follow it. However, I think your hints really dictate simple common sense, which I would hope the members here have. I do not forsee problems in the future because of this. In fact, right when I opened the Barracks, Supreme Commander Ramagi came around and had questions about the Barracks and our intentions. After explaining, she seemed satisfied and left us be. I certainly hope to have similar relations in the future.

Again, thanks for your concerns, sir. We will heed your advice carefully! Hooah!

Well I guess the gun sim faze is behind us. My schedule is improving and I predict this is going to be a smooth sailing for now... not much more to say at the point, wouldn’t want to sound like a stat fanatic.

Well, it was Boxing Day yesterday, so I can see why the portal was slow. I think I only gained around 50 - 70 B/P yesterday, which isn't too bad, but I could've got more.

Me too, but we'll just have to wait for TITROTU to get the list done.

Yep i had around the same, well atleast i think i did, but yes it was very slow, maybe today will be better...

Is he even going to continue it seems like it was started but then so-so, well i hope he does in anycase...

P-Bot is a very useful ally of the Elite Guard.

And though he MIGHT come across those flashes it's highly unlikely that he would take them off just because they have low scores.

Not just highly unlikely. He would never take off a flash, because it had a low score. It would be soley for other reasons.

I'm sure he will, but as I said, it's christmas. So if he's a little slow on the list, then I understand why he will. All I have to do now is wait patiently for him to finish the list.
