Congradulation, Sergent.
This means your VP is higher, which makes flashes go or stay more effective.

Sorry for the double post, sir! I am steaming right now. Can you tell me why I am still not appointed? Even people like Major_punk who never has a clue about what he is saying was appointed. (He said that I was a spammer. All I want to tell him is what he said was fucking bullshit!) In addition, a Elite Guard Private was also appointed, WTF? I joined the Barracks earlier than he did, I have much more b/p and exp points than he has, and he was appointed? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Yes, I have not posted here for a while. Actually, I have not posted here too often since the damn Major_punk had his brain sucked by a damn zombie and said that I was a spammer. I just feel that it is much more important to b/p than posting here. Plus most of the posts here are non-sense for me anyway.

So I cannot understand why people keep on posting something obvious here and lower-ranked people get appointed earier than high ranked people. To be honest, when I joined the Barracks, I had high hopes. But you guys have disppointed me enough. So unless justice is confirmed, I am going to say: Fuck this damn thread and those brain-sucked idiots here.

I'm glad to see none of us has lost their sense of humor and so it shall be! With every private or most not surprisingly strong extraordinary members .The Barracks slogan, which you may say to any prospect lower in rank than the poster... Just an initiation ceremony of sort, the first day tease if I may.

Humor is vital in life. Even if you hold a serious position, humor is the key to keeping a balance on life's problems. Indeed, we shall have our little initiation ceremony where we'll say that to all new recruits.

"Make sure to remember our motto: ..."

It'll be glorious.

Good to hear, Sergeant! You know what would be interesting to know? It would be nice to know our total B/P as if all active members voted on a flash at once. It might give a clue into our power.

Praporshchik Major_Punk, if this is not hard to do, could you do it on the next update? I imagine it would only take a quick formula in Excel if you do it that way. If not, no big deal.

I was dropped 5 ranks and you had one alias letter incorrect. Enough said about who is the picky one... Now to Dream_of_Duke, Myself and the_fallen_one1 were appointed because of close relation to other clubs that may be vital o the Barracks. What talent do you posses that requires us to let you have your own line of work?

If you shall excuse the double post. I felt this one deserves it. I am slow to anger in a forum, but this has done it. Prepare to see me in rare form.

At 1/4/06 05:21 PM, Dream_of_Duke wrote: Sorry for the double post, sir! I am steaming right now. Can you tell me why I am still not appointed?

There are two reasons why you have not been appointed. One, I do not know in what capacity you can serve us best. Everyone that has been appointed so far has exemplified a way in which they could be valuable as an officer here.

Two, you have not even bothered to suggest to me a way in how you can serve us! I specifically stated to you that if you wanted an officer position, suggest one! I would consider it! But no. Instead, you have chosen to whine and complain why you haven't gotten a position yet. What would you do if you were me?

Even people like Major_punk who never has a clue about what he is saying was appointed. (He said that I was a spammer. All I want to tell him is what he said was fucking bullshit!) In addition, a Elite Guard Private was also appointed, WTF? I joined the Barracks earlier than he did, I have much more b/p and exp points than he has, and he was appointed? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I will not have you insulting my officers! I have appointed them for a REASON! Praporshchik Major_punk serves his Barracks very well in providing our roster! Everyone else here has been appointed for a reason, including the new Private. If you perhaps were a little more involved, you would have noticed that Private the_fallen_one1 was expected here for a while, and was very active in the NPGD HQ. He did many things there, and is considered a valuable addition to the Barracks. One of my officers specifally pointed him out as a prime candidate for a Laison position that I have been trying to fill for a while, and I accepted the idea. Therefore, he got the job.

Yes, I have not posted here for a while. Actually, I have not posted here too often since the damn Major_punk had his brain sucked by a damn zombie and said that I was a spammer. I just feel that it is much more important to b/p than posting here.

You've given two good reasons why you haven't been appointed yet. One, you don't post too often. In fact, most of your posts recently were just about yourself. You don't even bother to recognize what others are doing or bother to congratulate others' achievements. What kind of posting is that? Two, in case you didn't see what I wrote to you and to Praporshchik Major_punk, I specifically stated that those spamming accusations were to be null and void. It was supposed to be water under the bridge. Praporshchik Major_punk has forgotten about it, but apparently you just can't let go.

Plus most of the posts here are non-sense for me anyway. For example: the DEFCON goes up and you, EagleRock will post a long post whenever BB attacks. As an Elite Guard, we all know what to do when BB attacks. (vote 0) There is no need to waste time posting those meaningless trash.

In case you didn't notice, my DEFCON updates are NOT about Barney Bunch flash. They are about the state of the Portal. Also, my DEFCON updates are not their own post; they are part of my regular posts, which does nothing to the post count at all. The DEFCON (if you actually bothered to research it) is not about what is on the Portal, but how active the Portal currently is and whether there are any current Portal threats or rumors. From there, members can determine the amount of protection necessary. It does not tell people how to vote, nor does it address specific flash at all. The only way individual flash are involved is if a trend of flash is being shown by current UJ flash. If that is the case, I might decide to raise the DEFCON in anticpation of future flash. Please research things a bit more before you accuse me of posting meaningless trash.

I am sure that I am doing much better than most of you here despite I have to deal with the pressure from Duke which is one of the best in the nation. As a result, I feel that I deserve to be appointed much more than someone who has been appointed.

Oh, really? Well, I personally am involved in quite a bit more than your little college worries. Not only am I in grad school full time, but I also work part time as webmaster and as an IT professional. I am also getting married, which requires plenty of planning. I am ALSO trying to find a more permanent job once I graduate to pay for a HOUSE that I am currently in the market for.

Do you see me complaining about a workload? I think not. In fact, I see my fiance four times a week to enjoy my time with her, I play all of the games I want, I post here as often as I want, I consistently get 100+ B/P a day, and I have straight A's.

If you're having problems dealing with your undergraduate degree, don't take them out on us here.

We all know that the NG Army thread was locked. So I cannot understand why people keep on posting something obvious here and lower-ranked people get appointed earier than high ranked people. To be honest, when I joined the Barracks, I had high hopes. But you guys have disppointed me enough.

If you don't understand what the Barracks about, maybe you don't belong here. You seem to value B/P over participating here. We are all Elite Guards anyway. If B/P was more important than posting, why bother making the Barracks at all? This is not about B/P, this is about participating with fellow Elite Guards in conversation at you Barracks when you are NOT B/Ping. That seemed to fall past your awareness as well. Noone else here has a problem with the Barracks; it is only you.

So unless justice is confirmed, I am going to say: Fuck this damn thread and those brain-sucked idiots here.

If you're going to be like that, you won't be missed. However, if you wish to be reasonable, I suggest you read up on what this place is supposed to be about. Even after all of this, I'd still be willing to work with you if you want an officer position. However, judging by your attitude, you are probably way beyond that. It's your call.

To other members, I apologize for my anger. I've bent over backwards to placate this situation, and it just now exploded in my face. I hope noone's respect for me dropped.

I see now why everyone respects you so much, eagle rock sir.

Not at all... Mafia debates make even this seem like child play. When you have an argument with some one that last about 60 posts (2 pages of pure arguing ) you will know how the mafia can get... Right now we are at peace but from time to time a 3 page argument over Prospects or politics will spark so this is honestly nothing yet... Also I forgot to congratulate or new Sergeant -Platinum-. *salutes EagleRock for being in ( a world of shit) and not bitching about it*

What talent do you posses that requires us to let you have your own line of work?

Let me ask you something. First of all, what do you mean by saying that you have close relation to other clubs? If you meant that you posted here, so do I. Secondly, the_fallen_one1 was a Police captain 2 days ago and he got appointed as soon as he came to the barracks. What did he contribute the barracks since he only came in 2 days? According to your logic, Quite a few former NGHQ members would be appointed in the EG Barracks since they had relations to other club before coming here. You know what? The appointment of a newcomer who just came in 2 days ago was messed up. They should contribute to the Barracks much more before appointed. What I suggest is that there should be a b/p limit for people who are under the consideration of appointment since our job is protecting the portal. (I would set the b/p number at 12500+.) Because of the messed up logic of appointment, guys like Bahamut7, Anderson, LittleMiss and I who have contributed the Barracks with our massive contribution to the portal safety and the Barracks are left out. I am sorry to say that, but I cannot see the damn future of the Barracks.

Firstly, let me say that I sadly won't be able to patrol as much as I wished to today, because my friends are INSISTING I go bowling with them tonight. I tried to resist their hot female charms, I really did! But I have failed. I'm crying at the shame of my weakness...really, I am! The tears are just invisible! XD
I'll get points until they arrive to pick me up. Plus I got on the portal extra early, so it'll compensate. Everyone kick ass in my stead! :salutes:
Now, on to another topic...Sergeant Major EagleRock, my respect for you has not dropped...in fact, it has been enhanced. I think you've been overly patient on this matter. Dream_of_Duke, I have no personal problem with you, as we've never really talked one-on-one, but I have to agree with Sergeant Major EagleRock: unless you can give a good reason for you to be whatever position it is you want, don't complain. I am not questioning your ability to serve...your rank shows that you are dedicated to the portal, and even if you leave, you will still have that distinction. However, in this thread, we should show a measure of patience and respect to other members, officer or not. So, with all due respect, sir...suck it up, or leave.
I hope this matter is fully resolved quickly and peacefully. I joined the Barracks only a few weeks ago but it already feels like home, in the sense that a thread can be a home, lol. I don't like seeing it riddled with senseless arguing.
In any case, I have things to do. Good luck in portal duties, and good luck with this situation. And thank you, EagleRock, for showing why you are so respected here. :salutes:

Oh please Dream_of_Duke... did you even open your bloody eyes long enough to see that the_fallen_one1 has his job because he has a connection to the mafia which only the 2 of us have? He has a position but it is more of a sub position of mine... not to mention the transparent arrogance of your words saying most of us who aren't your rank are unworthy of any position... Maybe if you had a bit brains and weren't so quick to start snapping at people who might just talk back you would have been made an offer. Besides what position could you have? Mine? You cannot establish communication long enough to see what's around you... once you do something admirable and stop being such an ingrate and self-centered maybe you will be made an offer. But for now leave me alone before I have even begun this debate.

Now this friend EagleRock is how we do things back in the mafia, no blabbing and straight to the painful truth.

lol at you, EagleRock. You actually made me laugh. First of all, I had a post here on page on 41 introducing my methods of recognizing BB fileswaps and nobody noticed. At least nobody had any comment about the post. Secondly, as I said already, I had my special ways to recognize BB fileswap and most of the time, they turn out to be BB craps. So I would like to be an anti-fileswap director. Don't forget that I go to Duke and I consider myself knowledgable. I am not bragging, but unless you can find some Elite Guards who go to Princeton or Harvard, I would also like to be the school knowledge director although it does not have anything to do with the Barracks. Fourthly, I am very familar with the NG/BBS general rules here. So if some low level users come and ask questions like how to do this and that, I am more than capable to help them. In addition, you said that I did not congratulate people. But hey, if you want to congratulate people, the level-up thread at where is/how to is a good place. I do not congratulate people, but it does not mean that I am not happy for their achievement. I am happy for everyone here who ranked up. In addition, I am one of the top 10 users who joined the Barracks. I have been there since page 9. In general, I believe that I am more than capable to be appointed here (if you read this post, you will know what I can do.) and I want your serious consideration.

Well I made Lieutenant General During my absence. I forget where I left off so um yeah. Me Killing and saving in the portal as been its lowests since last year.

Congratulations for that. (I normally don't congratulate people, lol) I know that it is extremly hard to rank up once you are a general since the gaps are so big. That's why it is awesome for you to rank up since it won't happen too often. Considering that you are a daily hard worker at b/ping, I am sure thatyou will make to EGG in the near future.

I'm not going to even bother replying to Captain Dream_of_Duke's next post, as it seems my superior officer has the post well-handled. It's great to have mafia blood in the Barracks!

Now, onto his next post:

At 1/4/06 06:35 PM, Dream_of_Duke wrote: lol at you, EagleRock. You actually made me laugh.

Good. I enjoy laughter, and I am always glad when I can share it.

First of all, I had a post here on page on 41 introducing my methods of recognizing BB fileswaps and nobody noticed. At least nobody had any comment about the post.

You suggested something that I sugged pages before that. That's why noone replied.

We already have one, who is Supreme Commander nimmer. We have determined, with Supreme Commander nimmer's help, that attacking pre-fileswap is dangerous, as it puts innocent flash in jeopardy. Perhaps you didn't see that either. For someone who claims to be knowledgable, you seem to miss a lot of important posts.

I am not bragging, but unless you can find some Elite Guards who go to Princeton or Harvard, I would also like to be the school knowledge director although it does not have anything to do with the Barracks.

As a matter of fact, you are bragging. You don't see me bragging about my accomplishments, do you? There are things about me that you don't know that I'm very proud of, but I don't flash them about. One of them is my being and Eagle Scout, but that is not even the biggest one. In fact, I won't even say it, because I don't like to brag.

Fourthly, I am very familar with the NG/BBS general rules here. So if some low level users come and ask questions like how to do this and that, I am more than capable to help them.

Congratulations. You pass the requirement to actually post on the BBS.

In addition, you said that I did not congratulate people. But hey, if you want to congratulate people, the level-up thread at where is/how to is a good place. I do not congratulate people, but it does not mean that I am not happy for their achievement. I am happy for everyone here who ranked up.

In general, I believe that I am more than capable to be appointed here (if you read this post, you will know what I can do.) and I want your serious consideration.

Things apparently don't get through to you, especially for someone who is so proud about being accepted into Duke University. I wish to remind you that respect is a big part about being in the Barracks. You have not exactly generated a lot of respect from your actions as of late.

I was a bit misleading before. What I meant about not congratulating others is not just that you don't talk about that, but you don't address anything else. If you look at the posts, they all flow. Everyone is talking in topic, then you come along and talk about something completely unrelated. Usually this is why you aren't responded to.

You did make a good point about being able to help people with BBS rules. In fact, it might be a good job to consider. However, I will not award it to you until you can demonstrate that you can post here like everyone else and not throw hissy fits like this. I will consider you for the position, but only after you have demonstrated your ability to post here and participate and not complain about a position. If you do that, you will not only stop being accused of being spamlike in post, but you will be repsect. With that respect, will come your position.

Like I said before, I'm reasonable, and the choice is up to you. Are you willing to realize that being a Barracks member is not just about B/Ping, but also about respect? If so, you'll have a much better time here.

I really hope I made myself clear this time. My patience is exhausted. In fact, I have to go away for a while, as I have things to do. I will be back as soon as I can.

Oh yes, congrats on your promotion, Lieutenant General iscRulz. I believe you are our first Lieutenant General here!

listen DoD most people want to be an officer or something but for such an appointment a certain degree of involvement is requiered . such involvement you do not show with posts like these

with such posts you show your place is as a dutyfull member not as officer. while i was in BC i saw thejoe grow to greatness and acquire his place between the staff before i became a staff member. it took me a very long time to get modded at BC, more as a year at least, maybe two. and when bc merged with adg i lost my modship (because there where to much mods). i took it like a man. i made one complaint. and only one.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Yes, I have not posted here for a while. Actually, I have not posted here too often since the damn Major_punk had his brain sucked by a damn zombie and said that I was a spammer. I just feel that it is much more important to b/p than posting here.

well it is a social group and as a social group and thus posting IS important here. Personally i do not think you're a spammer but you walk a thin line sometimes (e.g. the above post) . and everybody does that including MP and ER and me. but i would like to see

To be honest, when I joined the Barracks, I had high hopes. But you guys have disppointed me enough. So unless justice is confirmed, I am going to say: Fuck this damn thread and those brain-sucked idiots here.

So if you believe in the NG-rankings to be the officers then you consider me as your supreme commander? Well let me tell you this, in a year or so when countless people have made it to EGSC how will we make decisions? because then we'll be all equal. as fantastic as something like that is, it is not easy to settle an argument . and ongoing quarrels could lead to the final dissolvement of the club. and as you know recreating topics isn't allowed . there would be, in the end no place for a club as this one anymore.

there are two ways of dealing with this: take it like a man and improve your ways (at least stop complaining) or be a cry-baby and leave. those are the options. and that choice is up to you.

Sorry for my absense from posting here, sir. There have been alot of things on my plate recently, however I am still on track of becoming Elite Guard Corporal before school starts up again.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Enlisted starts at Private and NCO starts at Sergeant, with Officer taking over from Second Lieutenant and on (with Warrant Officer being an officer rank for officers with specialized jobs, like chopper piloting and such.)

And EagleRock, Sir, not only did my respect NOT drop for you in that post, but I am practically applauding you from my side of this screen.

*sigh*
Anyways, I'm under two hundred B/P points from the next Sergeant rank, but it might take until the end of the week what with my twisted waking schedule (I tend to get up at 2 in the morning and go to bed around 6 or 8). Plus the fact that my classwork takes priority over watching movies on the portal and judging them. :/

Thanks for your post, Sergeant Major EagleRock, it was quite helpful. The Elite Guards could be banned by mods if they are not careful while posting. I also get banned from the BBS for quite a few times. What I am thinking is that if the Elite Guards here get banned from the BBS, they will not be able to share their brilliant ideas about contributing the barracks in time which will be a big loss for the entire barracks. As I said, although I have also banned for quite a few times, I have learnt a few ways not to get banned. I would like to share my experience with the other members in the near future. I will be more than happy if I can be considered for the occupation which helps our members to avoid BBS bans. To the matter of being arrogance, I know that I am, and I apologize if I have hurt anyone's feelings. Of course, I will try to work well with the other members here since we all want to have a good time. As you may have noticed, I prefer putting promises into actions than talking about it. But I promise you guys that you will be able to see a new DoD from now on.

Secondly, the_fallen_one1 was a Police captain 2 days ago and he got appointed as soon as he came to the barracks. What did he contribute the barracks since he only came in 2 days?

that IS a valid point, i know how you feel, you feel like it is nepotism.
and that is something we have to watch out for, ER and other staff.
and i certainly hope you read this post DoD. however they say that he was a very active PD and maffia member. (heh sounds more like a rotten apple ;) ) anyway i don't question his appointment but maybe you should, in the future, wait a bit before making someone officer or show some proof why he was elected. as officers we are responsible for a fair governance of this club. and i do believe that even though we should adress eachother as in an army, our members should have a say in the way the club is run as well. and they should have the possibility of making complaints about how the club is run.
i think that is one of our priorities when the club will have it's own website.

maybe some sort of Barracks Court forum or so . in such a court there would be equality of votes 50 % for the officers and 50% for the members. and the results could be binding or not.

just a little idea here.

Actually i studied history at the VUB it was not an elitarian school but their history section was the best of belgium. I am not bragging, but belgium has one of the highest scholarly levels of the planet earth. furthermore my current studies are library studies (to become a librarian aka knowledge manager) but again i am not bragging.

If possible, I'd like to mention myself to appointment for officer status. I could be in charge of Infiltration and Data Collection, to aid in the defense of the portal. Just a thought that I wanted to pass along. Back to the portal I go!

if it's ok with you guys i could provide a forum for the barracks.

I sure hope so and I hope my post was at the very least a wake up call for you.

I have to commend you, Supreme Commander nimmer, on making a great post. What you said was a lot of the things I was trying to articulate in words, which didn't seem to help the matter much. I certainly hope him hearing it from you makes a lot more sense to him.

Your experience in the BC clearly helps us here, and proves that respect means a lot. Indeed you always find a way to demonstrate why you have the respect you do. Thanks again, sir!

There have been alot of things on my plate recently, however I am still on track of becoming Elite Guard Corporal before school starts up again. Should I attain that rank, I will have attined the highest rank attainable by a Junior Elite Guard member. Since (and correct me if I am wrong):

Your list is a little skewed, PFC. This is indeed what the ranks are:

Citizen Level - Citizen through Security Officer (even though Security Officers are accepted into the NGPD as recruits)
Police Department Level - Police Officer through Police Captain
Elite Guard Soldier - Elite Guard Private through Elite Guard Corporal
Elite Guard NCO - Elite Guard Sergeant through Elite Guard Sergeant Major
Elite Guard Warrant Officer - Elite Guard Praporshchik
Elite Guard CO's - Elite Guard Second Lieutenant through Elite Guard Supreme Commander

NCO (or Non-Commissioned Officer) refers to the officers that are enlisted, and are not commissioned. This follows the traditional US Army officers. Warrant Officers are a step in between, as they are sort of Non-Commissioned Commissioned Officers. Praporshchik is a Russian term for "Top Warrant Officer" or something similar. All other ranks are considered Commisisioned Officers.

I hope that clears things up for you, PFC.

And EagleRock, Sir, not only did my respect NOT drop for you in that post, but I am practically applauding you from my side of this screen.

As always, all of your support is appreciated, and I thank you for it.

I'm glad you think so.

The Elite Guards could be banned by mods if they are not careful while posting. I also get banned from the BBS for quite a few times. What I am thinking is that if the Elite Guards here get banned from the BBS, they will not be able to share their brilliant ideas about contributing the barracks in time which will be a big loss for the entire barracks. As I said, although I have also banned for quite a few times, I have learnt a few ways not to get banned. I would like to share my experience with the other members in the near future. I will be more than happy if I can be considered for the occupation which helps our members to avoid BBS bans.

Thank you for your suggestion. It sounds like a good position, and will consider you for that position. However, let's give it some time and let the smoke clear. However, your suggestion has been duly noted.

I am glad to hear that. Indeed there is nothing wrong with pride, but arrogance comes from displaying things you're proud of high and proud. I'm glad you realize this now, and would be glad to see you post more in the future. I'm sure soon enough you will gain the respect of your fellow Elite Guards, as this was one step in the right direction. Thanks for your understanding, Captain, sir!

I like your ideas that you wrote, Supreme Commander, sir, and will consider them seriously. I also thank you for backing up my fellow officers!

Well, I will consider it, but could you describe to me what your duties would be? You are very unclear in what you want to do. thanks, PFC.

Somehow I feel a forum is a bit redundant, considering we are posting in a forum right now. However, if you wish, you could draft one up for review. I would say it would be more imperative to have a basic website like the NGPD HQ's before a forum is made.

Any ideas?

Please note I will be very busy from here until tonight, and will have minimal time to be in the Barracks. However, I shall return around 0100 hours at the very latest. Hooah!

I calculated it. Going at the rate I went today, 77 b/p a day, I can become a police captain in 5 days, and elite guard private in 12. This is of course, going on linear progression. Unfortunatly, I won't be able to that, as the big variable of school is coming soon.

My appologize, sir! As an Infiltration Officer, I would be in charge of gathering information from various places (be it on the Newgrounds BBS, or other forums) and devivoring regular reports to fellow EG members. Such infiltration targets may include the Barney Bunch, or other such froups known for spam. As well, I will also be in charge of Data Management. This means that any info posted on this thread will be recorded by me for any future reference.

isn't that called the civil air patrol? i may be thinking of something else.

it sounds like you will be busy with this position.but you could pull through.

Thank you, sir! However, the groups that I infiltrate (so to speak) will only be those chosen by high-ranking Elite Guard Officials. Therefore, I won't necessarily be constantly gathering information. As for data management, I guess I'll just have to keep up! :)

Today was bad for me, i woke up way late, and now im watching the USC game so today will not be good on B/p oh well, atleast i have the game hehe...

So what about everyoneelse?
