Yeah, I open a new window and start blamming other stuff while waiting.

Does it really grind your gears?

I know it does mine. I hate when things like that happen. What is usually the case is an audio file that takes up 3,000 kilibytes, and then 400k of actual animation. Well, animation in it's own right, it can't always be called that. Now, opening a new window and B/P other stuff can be good, unless you start to vote on the flash your veiwing from the page you were waiting on to load. I usually just open a new page and go to the forums when i B/p. It works pretty well.

Ah, Lieutenant General EagleRock, the man who runs the barracks. Tis an honor to recieve a welcome from you, sir.

That's me. I'm glad you consider such a welcome an honor! Also, having another General in the Barracks is an honor in itself. Glad to have you here, General, sir!

-----------------------

To everyone else, I still want to do another podcast. I am thinking of trying Thursday evening. I could use the following:

- Able Barracks members for the podcast (with Skype, a mic, and headphones)
- Requested topics for Barracks News and/or the Barracks Discussion
- Questions for the "Ask the Barracks" section...these questions should be about Newgrounds. For instance, someone could ask "Who exactly is 'Bedn' and what is his story?"

Thanks, everyone!

I'm not sure, he uploaded a non working swf at first ( when I saw it, and blammed, before he switched the files....Fuck ) But then he submitted it again, don't know why, technically, it should be whistled for being a flash likely to be saved again but is already on the portal, under malicious.

Well, I'm out then. I have a class Thursday night, and an exam Friday night.

Next time maybe.

Plus my mic still sucks.

Eagle

I am sadly going to miss out on this podcast due to the lack of a mic. Over the next week I will be sure to figure out Skype, and get a microphone so I may be able to join in on the follwoing podcast. I do hope this coming one will go well. Best of luck.

I have not made a pro pic in a very long time, so this may not work for you. Have a look and see what you think all and all.

Someone reviewed the the one that was submitted the second time, and asked why he submitted it twice. The author's response was that the first one had bugs and wouldn't work well, which hurt his score, so he fixed things up and submitted it a second time. So I don't think we should blow the whistle, the author should just prepare his flash to be deleted.
Porta activity is pretty high now, excellent. Although I might go to bed in an hour, it's 1:00 AM here, gay timezone. *salutes*

He had horrible wording. "This is originally Tom Fulp's piece. I transformed the file into regular form. Please protect, for NG's Classics inc. sake." Tom Fulp already resubmitted a lot of things for that reason. I whistled it.

WOW!! I've seen some dumb things but stealing from the creator of this site... There's no words for it and I've whistled it already.

On a side note a big welcome to the barracks newest member -TheThwomp- its always good to have a new member so I hope you enjoy your stay here in the barracks

portal is moving pretty well right now. i havent been around long, but things are sitting under judgment just long enough for me to see a good majority of submissions without trying too hard. im loving the influx of horrible flashes under 500 kb because they are so obviously bad and take no time at all to blam. rain is keeping me indoors today. glad i have more planned for tomorrow. hope everyone else is having a good b/p day.

Am I too late for the podcast? I've got skype and a mic and I love talking to people.

Not at all. I am planning on doing the podcast tomorrow evening. If I can count you in, that'd be perfect.

I know some of you already said you can't do it on Thursday, but is there anyone that can?

Also, I could still use questions for "Ask the Barracks..."

At 6/14/06 11:10 PM, EagleRock wrote:

1. Quickly describe the barracks daily activities.
2. Are there ranks within the barracks othen than those of the Elite Guard?
3. Where does the barracks stand on mass voting?
4. Where does the barracks stand on portal spam days, such as; clock day, lock day, glock day, and other various group celebrations?
5. Where does the barracks see itself in one year from now?
6. How do you feel the Barracks are in aid to Newgrounds?
7. What advice can the Barracks give to the user of newgrounds when it comes to the subjects of Blam and Portecting when in the portal?
8. Do you feel that users look upon the Barracks as a positive or negative entity?

These are just some rough questions I pulled on a whim. I could probably think of more, but I do not know what you are looking for or what you may already have.

And who do you think you are to judge any one, you aren't "good" enough to judge him, hell, you aren't good enough to judge the crap of a dog. Now get the hell out of here before I bring new meaning to the term "pain in the ass".

Holy shit I was being sarcastic, no need to burst an artery over it. Coop's a friend of mine so I was talking TO and besides... who exactly was I judging on? All I did was state and opinion on something he said. I consider him a friend, and friends are entitled to talk freely with one another. And no, no one deserves to judge anyone.I know I'm not "good." in the real world I am in fact a huge ass hole because I cant stand the people I'm around. I stopped caring about what people thought of me long ago. lastly, whats with the threat? It's the internet nothing anyone here can affect anyone else because we all have the privilage of non confrontational talking through bbs, chat, etc.

I didn't quite mean it like that. I was in a bad mood a couple of days ago, meaning I voted negatively on flash which should have been (and probably were) protected. It cost me points and I was just musing about it.

Thanks for the defence, Phantom. I think he meant it as a compliment (although somewhat backhanded, since he called me an ass).

I didnt call you an ass, I said you should vote like and ass, and in meant it as like jerk or meanie or whatever term you wish to use. And I only said it like that because I can never find anything good to watch. no matter what I search for, almost everything is just not that great to me.

I'm only posting in here because I want to join but dont yet fit the criteria and thought I chould hang out until then.

Me too, I think I missed a handful of Blam/Protect points last night, but the game was indeed fun. But I wonder how they will root out groups for the second round, as everyone so far has gotten wrong, I think. If everyone got it wrong, then new question. But if one group got it right, then do they just randomly root out groups?

Firstly, your first comment sounded quite like an insult, and as a member, and just a person, I feel it my responsibility to display public protection no matter the actual situation. I have always done it and always will.

Secondly, had I known the two of you knew each other or as you say it “friends” I’d have left it alone and let the two of you to work it out yourselves, but seeing only that post at the time I was not about to begin an extensive research of who you are and assumed you simply held a grudge against him.

And thirdly, proving your point, seeing is this only cyber space I may threaten whoever I wish, wherever I wish and however I wish. And short of tracking you down using FBI technology, there is nothing I can do, meaning those are always, no matter what, simply a statement of dislike rather than a threat and so, are best to be treated that way.

I've pulled the save ratio right back into contention with yesterday, but the overall picture was a little dim, as I only hit 27 points. The weekly average has suffered :(

Haha. Yeah. I just liked the overall joke. If they caught him, then you'd just see him being caught over and over again and know it loops. I like this sig because they just keep running.

The portal today is slow. Maybe because some people are still in school, but I have only blammed ONE thing so far. :(
