Of course, you would be ordering Barracks members to vote or whistleblow, but your expert judgement would help make credible recommendations for the members here.

i would never tell barrack members how to vote: it 's not like i'm the pope or so (luckily) so i am not infallible, i will not make a judgement call. if i see it necessary i will give advice though but the other members are free to follow (or not) that advice,

I feel you would be perfect for this position, sir, and hope you choose to accept it. However, if you do not want to, it is completely understandable, as Elite Guard Generals are very busy with their duties. We'll understand, sir. I eagerly await your reply, sir!

while i was writing this post i have become a Supreme Commander. i will accept. and i'm sorry i didn't reply earlier but when i stopped by to wish you all a heppy New year i didn't stop to read the new posts.

anyway now the important stuff. seen the rank-upof various members, seen the new year and seen my final rank-up i declare a open bar. drink what you want guys. The party continues

Excellent work on your promotion, Supreme Commander nimmer. *salutes* Looks like you're the 42nd person to reach EGSC (excluding SevenStar). Drinks, umm, I don't want any alcohol, sorry. :P

I guess this means the nimmer needs a new sig because now he has 5 stars... Well congratulations to nimmer on catching up the 4 points he needed from the last time I saw him...

Congratulations, Supreme Commander Nimmer, sir! All your hard work paid off! And at last, the Barracks has an EGSC in our ranks!
If/When (it's when most likely, lol)I become an EGSC, I intend to continue to keep B/P'ing, just not as much...like, drop the pace to 50 a day instead of 100. What's the point of having a high voting power if you're not going to use it, ya know?
I just got on the portal (I slept in due to all that drinking last night...) and it seems somewhat slow...I hope it speeds up soon as we enter peak hours, because I have a long way to go to reach Sergeant First Class....
Well good hunting everyone! :salutes:

DEFCON Update:

The DEFCON still remains at DEFCON 3. It was left that way overnight due to the strong possibility of malicious flash entering the Portal around New Years time. Luckily it did not occur, and we ALL could have a Happy New Year. :-)

Good to hear, sir. And may I congratulate you on being promoted to Supreme Commander! We are honored to have our first rostered Supreme Commander here, sir!

Of course, sir! Perhaps I wasn't that clear, but your duty would NOT be to tell people how to vote, but rather make judgements on ones you think would need it. For instance, if you saw someone says they think a flash is stolen, yet you think it's not, you could reply, "I don't think the flash is stolen. Look at this: (evidence here)" It would be a reply like that, not saying how to vote. If it looked like it was stolen and you feel the need to back up the person, you could say, "I think you're right...it does look stolen (reasons and evidence here)." I never meant more, sir!

Either way, I'm sure you will know what to do, as you are the one most qualified for the position.

I was thinking the same myself. Of course, I will want to drop the pace as well.

the portal has been slow today. but it was busy this morning. it has calmed down a lot since then. and i have a lot to go until i earn staff sergeant, so the portal better pick up soon.

Thanks for telling us Red, but I'm sure every one here can see it for themselves... a nice gesture but if others are like me they will keep an eye out on the portal all the time.

EGFL Dream_of_Duke reports for duty, sir. It is my pleasure to see that our barracks eventually has a commander. On the other hand, I am also getting very close to my next rank up. I could have ranked up yesterday if I decided to b/p hard. But I just thought that there would be something else to do on the last day of 2005. Nevertheless, I will probably be an EGC by tomorrow, sir!

Awesome job nimmer, for earning Supreme Commander.

Just giving the barracks a heads ups but in the Wi/ht forum theres a new topic called the Top 2000 Exp Users, and basically its a list that gets "updated automatically".

How does this effect the Barracks? Below is a question from the threead

Is it possible for you to make a top 2000 B/P list?

Yes I might eventually, but not for a while. I'm starting with this first and maybe in the following weeks or months

Wouldnt that be awesome? an automatically updated list of the top 2000 b/p users! Now dont get your hopes up "might" can mean alot of things but every single current member of the elite guard would qualify.Even DaMainman (<3, BTW be more active if you read this!)

Speaking of lists ill make a new update of the Barracks membership sometime this week.

Happy New Years everyone!

I wonder how many people woke up after 2pm...

Cool Nimmer, for reaching EGSC.

That was my dream, to reach EGSC by the end of 2005, but I guess I couldn't do it.

Thanks, RedGlare. It was a nice gesture, and we appreciate it. However, it is against our rules to post about Barney Bunch, as we are very capable of surveying the Portal and seeing what is out there. So, for the future, I'd appreciate the cease of these posts. Thanks, though!

automatically updated lists are frowned upon by the fulps.

i didn't i had to be at my uncle's place for a dinner at 2pm.
and after that my grandparents also for a dinner.

Day's end report:
114 points today. Not bad considering I slept in so late. I plan to shift my sleep schedule a bit so I can step up my average point gain. My average for the past two weeks, excluding the three days I was away, is about 125 a day, but I'd still like to go faster...

I want to eventually overtake a certain superior officer that has a similar pace...heheh...

Becoming EGSC these days is necessary to stop the portal spammers.
Just don't give up, even though it might seem hopeless. I've seen comrades just give up B/P and even giving up on depositing points.

DEFCON Update:

The Portal has died down, and so has the DEFCON. It has been reduced from DEFCON 3 to DEFCON 4.

sounds like you're doing just fine sir. you'll be in the top 300 soon, that's for sure. as for me, i have gained about 140 also, plus or minus the ones uj. but i think i'll take another pass at the portal and then turn in to my rack. good hunting for those points to all. *salutes*

Call it a year in review or whatever you want but right now im taking a pleasant trip down memory lane.
I can hardly believe whats been accomplished, Its just starting to sink in now that this topic is only about a month old and is already 40 pages!

I almost wonder where id be without the Barracks... probibly have thousands less of b/p , NG in all wouldnt matter as much, still have around 600 posts. maybe even miss a few deposits but Id never be inactive.

EagleRock I remember when I first noticed you it was in the B/P ranks 51+ on page ... ( ah here it is) 246 . I wrote down your stats at the time because you said that you would be on the list someday, it reminded me of myself way back in august. I could find the page but to give you an idea its before -absentminded- started doing the updates. around page 230-240 I think.
So (back to the topic) I wrote down what you had and you had 1981 blams and 988 saves. less than 2000 basically and now 41 days later its inevitable you're gonna make it.

Ghost_Phantom For some reason at the beginning of the thread I didnt like you too much, cant remember why ( maybe I will in the morning) but I was ... suspicious of you, I think it might of been because you were with the NG Mafia and at the time relations between the two crews was a bit shaky.
How stupid that was.

A little sad thing that keeps bothering me is the absense of the regulars whe the thread first began, like Coop83, DaMainman, boloneyman, Andersson etc. ( heh i just noticed their all lv 13's.)
But we have some good promising young guys like Grizzley, SlashFireStorm, -Platinum- and -Mitsubishi- and ofcourse alot more but those were the first I could remember.
So I guess that balances it out. But still :'(

Not to forget K-Pingu who in my opinion is whats holding the NGPD together, a few times ive wandered over there and they have a nice friendly, casual thing happening. It would be a fucking shame if a mod ever shut it down... oh BTW anyone else see their own forums made by K-Pingu?

Oh and Dream_of_Duke I didnt mean to insult you or anything im just thinking about the long road this club will have an im trying to have the higher level users to sort of be role models for the new joiners, "model posters", what I said completely backfired and I am sorry about it. Your a good guy.

Bahamut7 your a good guy too.

Oh ya and EagleRock before you said something about making a game or something like that... well anyway I think it would be a great idea. Or have you even thought about it recently? Let me tell you first-hand its fucking hard. I made a flash but it honestly looks like it was made by a blind kid with crippled fingers - (takes quote from maddox) I never submitted it, its just that pathetic.

i think that unless you take screenshots of the portal like, every 5 mins it's very hard to discover proof of fileswapping.

Ive tried that a few times of when I thought there would be a file-swap, but I never got lucky and caught them red-handed.

It is still just ideas in my head, but luckily 90% of the game's work would be actionscripting (as it will be a sim game). I'll feel comfortable coding it once I get the game's mechanics ironed out on paper.

Well if it isnt obvious enough yet, but im a little tipsy right now so my comments might be a little ... light hearted. I tried to have proper grammar and the whole deal but I can only do so much right now eh?

It stands for Absence Without Leave. Technically, most of the time, I am not AWOL, as I have said beforehand that I would be on leave and do have valid reasons, but AWOL just sounds so much cooler, sir...

I don't plan to stop anytime soon I hope to get to EGSC by the end of this year the only thing I need is more exp.

Well with the holidays coming to an end no way will I be able to keep the same pace I had until now but I'll just have to keep trying. Damn I have so many things to do for school and stuff I will not see the light of a computer monitor in days... If only I was old enough to drink or dumb enough to smoke...

I am sorry to give you this image with such low quality but I made this however:

Unfortunately, I have lost some time on the internet today and last night because of my fucking sister needing to do her homework during my fucking time on the internet. I'll try and get to B/P'ing since I only have today and tomorrow left and then it'll be school!

Don't worry. It only applies to if the question has already been answered (excluding those posts made shortly after the first answer) or if it doesn't answer the question to what the person wants to know about. Just saying here's a helpful picture and posting the picture doesn't bother NGling now. Look at the last post in that thread. :P
