But telling someone with 41 Blam/Save points how to vote is unnecessary, especially as he did not ask about how you vote, but said that he was a raising NG member, meaning that he is on his way towards high stats.

DEFCON Update:

The DEFCON is being increased from DEFCON 4 to DEFCON 3 as the Portal entry rate has increased to one every few minutes. This warrants the higher level as usual.

I have to say your level of confidence in this comment is so high that made me laugh, sir. Good to hear the Barracks big wigs have the confidence to head up the Guard here!

That's a good point, sir! I mean, it is common sense, of course, but that is the first time I've seen someone actually say it here.

That's a good point, sir. I have seen many examples of the posts that really put Newgrundling in a fume (understandably, as it IS annoying...). Second Lieutenant Ghost_Phantom did answer the question first, and he did answer it in words. The picture was only backup and was not just a "OOH, HERE'S PIC THAT CAN HELP J00" post. I wouldn't worry about it, either.

That I'll have to agree with, too. However, the picture wasn't totally out of line like Newgrundling was referring to. He was the first to answer, after all, sir. Of course, we'll be more wary of this in the future. Barracks protection is vital, and we do have to do everything we can to ensure our integrity. Thanks for the tip, sir!

Hey EagleRock. I wish I could B/P as fast as you do. You level up every week or so, damn it.

I'm sorry over the picture. I didn't notice he had some points... All I saw was he was a civilian... I'll make sure I'll be more accurate next time. But odds were he didn't know B/P had ranks and just voted by chance at a time. So I took an unnecessary step with the picture but the rest was most likely needed...

Well the "offence" Tom_s00 made in this thread was just as off-topic as this one, and Tom_s00 did get banned (Even though Newgrundling lifted the ban later because he felt that he had not warned members for this enough before he started to ban members for the offence).

However, I just wanted to say it so you don't walk into a thread in the General forum section, nor the "Where is/How to" forum section and makes that misstake.

It's actually not that hard. I'm blessed in that I am near a computer virtually 24 hours a day. I actually do a lot besides go on Newgrounds, which proves you can be on Newgrounds AND have a life! :-)

I checked that thread, and Newgrundling was instigated by another user before he banned Tom_s00. However, don't get me wrong, sir; you do have a very valid point, and I'm sure the Barracks members will be more wary before the helpful pics are posted.

Well, that is definately a mistake I don't think anyone here would make. We all know the high rate of bans that spawn from those types of threads, and would be very careful in our replies. Thanks again for the heads-up, sir! Guidance like yours is definately vital to the Barracks, and we appreciate it!

Ha, anyone else notice that the TOTW, which was fileswapped, got deleted? I know it would have only been there for another couple days, but still...it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside... ^_^ Ha...the Barney Bunch is becoming less and less of a threat, it seems. There is still the occasional crappy flash, but their fileswapping shenanigans seem to be coming to a close (with the exception of the TOTW). Which is great because we can't get blams off of fileswaps...lol...

Ah, thanks for telling me that. I couldn't view the obitaury page of it, but I'm sure the account got deleted. Good admins for dealing that abusive flash. Since that flash got deleted, I wonder what will be TOTW tomorrow.

In fact, all the fileswapped BB moives get deleted by Wade. But hell yea, the deleting speed was much faster this time. As Elite Guards, we should be more aware of the fileswaps than their usual craps since we can blam the craps. I know that it is hard to recongnize a fileswap, but here is my method: I try my best to memory all the moives/games that I watched/played in recent weeks. So if BB put a moive/game I am familar with underjudgement, I will blam (even whistle sometimes) it straight away. In addition, I check all the authors' profiles before voting. If a NG user's profile is not clickable or just signed up in the past a few days, and he suddenly makes decent flashes. There is a good chance that it is a BB moive.

i don't think that sleeping in will change much for the points sir. wheni get up in the morning and check the portal, only anout 10-15 new entries are in the portal. but i don't know about the blammed ones. but i odn't really think that you should be screaming at yourself in the mirror for that sir. :P

the portal slowed down a lot lately. i know it's late but it's come to a halt almost. but that's pretty much all you can do, just refresh the portal now and then. i check out other parts of the site like the other forums and the audio portal also. hope you get back to your above your current average points.

as if it's not already way up there. :) *salutes*

I wonder how long you can keep this up, grab as many as you an now because soon you'll notice just staying at a specific rank is difficult with so many people trying to pass you. In a way its addicting, just knowing that if you take a day off expect to be 2-3 ranks back... or in your case 20-30 ranks back. For now.

Heh, I know what you mean, I used to try and wake up as early as I could just to get maybe an extra 10-15 points then go back to bed and sleep in :P, I wouldnt recommend it because you'll find yourself not going back to bed at all and staying on NG.

Right now im really trying to push myself to get a peak b/p number, I know that after the holidays my b/p per day will be drastically reduced to maybe 10-20 a day. So I know that this is my last chance to set a peak number.
So far my recent peak is 55.89, which I am not quite satisfied with. But since I went out New Years and didnt get home until like 10pm the next day I only gained 15 points from Dec 31-Jan 2nd. thus dragging my average to 55.55. Right now im at 55.58 but I had a 70+ day today so my average is probibly in the 55.60-70 range so im starting to bounce back.

Thats what I do also when the portal is slow, But usually I will have a second window on the BBS. boosts my post count + my b/p count at the same time : )

Well I'm back for a miraculous 8 hours here for me to catch up on my B/P. Also if I'm lucky I'm hoping within the next to weeks to break into the top 200... It's not gonna be easy but it’s worth it. Now the next time I'll be able to waste my entire day on NG is on weekends...

Today will be my last day off school. It sucks, but what also sucks is that I woke up at 12:30 today. :S Oh well, I'll make the most of B/P'ing before I go back to school. :(

You'd be suprised. For fanatics like us, 10-15 missed points is a big loss! Though I'll admit, I wouldn't be screaming in the mirror over it.

I think his goal is to attempt to pass me. However, looking at the stats, I'm slowly pulling away from him, so I'm not worried. Nice to know I'm a bullseye for people, though. Makes me feel like this Newgrounds stuff isn't all for naught, sir. :-)

One question, though: what do you mean by rank? Are you referring to your numerical ranking based on other users, sir?

I like making people realise that I am back at work today. I got 11 days of holiday, which was great. Now, I've spent nearly a whole day in the office and I'm feeling tired, but I haven't made as many BP points as I'd have liked.

Sir! I'm was wondering if i could go through training to join Sir!

Luckily, I'm off work until mid-January, as I work at the training facility. However, I can usually do my B/P there as well, as there is little to do but maintain the location. I'm lucky! Once I get a real job, I'm sure my B/P will drop drastically, of course.

Surely, citizen! To start your training, get out to the Portal and protect the Portal by blamming and protecting! As you get more skilled in your B/P, you will be offered many job positions and will move up in status. Once you become a Security Guard, you can join the NGPD Headquarters. There you will find other officers to work with until you reach the rank of Elite Guard Private, where you can become a member here! Until then, visit the NGPD and come back here from time to time and let us know how you are doing!

Sorry, the "job positions" like is incorrect. It should be this.

Thank you Sir!

Oh, I'll get you, EagleRock, sir...I managed to wake myself up an hour earlier than usual! It'll take a few days to jimmy my sleep schedule to where I want it (awake from 7-midnight), but once I do...it may take months, it may take years, but I will catch up with you, sir...haha :-)

Quite the long-term plan I see. Honestly, I don't see myself so dedicated that I'll be getting minimum 100 B/P a day for the next few years... Hell, I'm getting married next November, so I'll be busy come Spring with planning it. Plus I'll have graduated grad school by May, which mean I have to find a real job, which ends my tenure of B/Ping on the clock...
