I decided on the storyline of my Clock Day submission. I don't want to give too much away, but it will involve the legendary warrior Slash-Clock, and a devious evil force seeking to destroy America!!!

Lots of comedy, action, satire, and tweens! Be there...Clock Day, 2006!

</shameless self promotion>

lol, effort, yes. Quality? lol...you'll see. :-/

Oh, there will be sex. But TRUST ME, if you knew who the villain was, you wouldn't be interested in any sex scenes, lol.

Day's end report:

161 points. Now THAT's what I'm talking about. ^_^

Speaking of big point gains...Clock Day! I just finished the script, downloaded some sound bits from Flashkit, and am about to open me up some .fla and kick its ass into .swf!

There will be clocks and warriors and elderly ninjas and Naruto music and cavity searches! And tweens, and horrible attempts at FBF that will end up looking jerkier than...some jerky comparison!

It will be grand! ^_^

Can a creative storyline compensate for horrible graphics? Will the mass-voting of Clock Day be enough to get this to pass? Find out, Clock Day '06! :-P

Good hunting, everyone! :salute:

Guess we will have to wait until Clock Day, and see for ourselves.

Find out, Clock Day '06! :-P

Now I'm even more eager for Clock Day to come.

ohoho! so we have a villan do we? this should prove to be highly entertaining. i was disappointed though to see wonchop released his early. his stuff is always really good and i like watching it.

no way am I getting banned for a daily report

All made in MS paint. lol

Anyway, it's just so cool knowing Slash is back. His flashes, his "Oh I got 170 B/P, I can do better than that," attitude, WELCOME BACK SLASH! :D
Yes, I know he came back like a week ago, I just had to say this.

Anyway, MY Studio 8 should arrive by Monday. If I work hard, you may even see a flash from me. :D

Actually, this time, I'm going to try to make it all in flash. Although my skills are still pretty bad, I'm getting more and more comfortable working with flash, and hopefully that means that I'll get better and better.

My only worry is "animating". Not to so much making some basic movement, but more of it being both my first time animating, and also my first time synching animation with music. It's easy as pie to synch speakonia to a picture or tween, but animation? The closest I've ever come to something like this was my "Liz's Birthday" flash, which I never submitted on Newgrounds (although I might if she lets me, lol). That one didn't really have animation, but it was, by far, my most complex and time-consuming flash to date.

Luckily the music part is only around 90 seconds long, so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. I can maybe do a DBZ-type thing, and have both characters staring at each other angrily for a chunk of it, to kill some time... XD

If I find I'm just utterly not ready to animate and synch, I'm going to just use tweens cleverly, lol. Hopefully it'll pass anyway, due to it being Clock Day and all.

Anyway, it's just so cool knowing Slash is back. His flashes, his "Oh I got 170 B/P, I can do better than that," attitude, WELCOME BACK SLASH! :D
Yes, I know he came back like a week ago, I just had to say this.

Yeah, I am crazy. My flash style is "improvised", and my B/P style is...just fucking loony, heh. Today might not be that good for me, though, as I woke up less than an hour ago, and I have to work on my flash all day today.

Anyway, MY Studio 8 should arrive by Monday. If I work hard, you may even see a flash from me. :D

It takes a good while to get used to even the most basic things on flash, like preloaders and tweening, but yeah, making flash is awesome. Good luck on it! ^_^

He's a NGPD member, and very close to EGP. All aspiring Elite Guards, even those not in the NGPD, are allowed to post here; they just cannot be members until they attain Elite Guard rank.

Guess what? It just arrived in the mail today! I've started making a flash, scrapped it, and started working on something else. XD

It's pretty hard animating, expecially movement. :(

After being away for a long time... I'm back. Because family trips suck.

OK I didnt know that was allowed. I've always thought of posting here being very strict, sorry.

Hey Casualty! Welcome back! :D

It's kind of been odd with you gone. Here's a recap of what you missed.
No more EOD reports

That's it. :P

hi guys can i join ive got 50 more points until level 3 and ive got 2 save points and 2 blam points!!! w00t

Level is irrelevant here, and to join you need to be of Elite Guard rank. But hey! You've got 4 B/P points already! Just 1496 more to go! :-P

Once you reach 200 (Security Guard), you can apply at the NGPD, to spend your time there while you work your way up to Elite Guard Private.

Good luck! :salute:

oh i had more b/p points than you before my accounts were deleted

welcome back casualty. you were gone for a long time, it seems. i think you may have left before i did. so its been a while. but one thing:

At 8/11/06 05:05 PM, -MetalDart- wrote: No more EOD reports

thats not exactly true. no more just posting stats. you can throw up a daily report, but there has to be something more significant to go along with it. you cant just say "ohh 50 points. good day" from now on. needs more substance, thats all.

Oh, I didn't realize who you were at first, lol. Still, alts and deleted accounts don't count...not to mention I'm fairly certain most people here wouldn't want you joining.

Permission to come aboard, SIR!

sorry safety patrol, but your not qualified to join the elite guard barracks yet. you need to be of elite guard status (as the title explains) by having a minimum of 1500 b/p points. you are close, however, to being qualified for the NGPD. once you reach security guard, hop on over and join them. you can come back here when ready. good luck.

also, ive found another source of abusive reviews. the user's name is Larzo and hes got almost 40 now, most of which completely suck. i forgot how to link user profiles, so youll have to locate him on your own. adding him as a pm contact is easy in my opinion. if your looking for some whistle points, check him out.

Congrats! Keep up the good work! ^_^

I'm very close to my next promotion...should get it early-ish tomorrow.

I have learned that animating flash is insanely difficult...sigh. I've never exactly been...artistically inclined...but damn, lol. I guess it's tweens for me.

Congratulations on your new rank, your over one-third done getting the rank of Elite Guard Supreme Commander! Keep up the good work First Lieutenant.

Day's end report:

133 points...not bad considering how much of my day was absorbed by flash-making.
My promotion is very near at hand...I didn't realize how close! Tomorrow, easy.

So yeah. Flash. I don't know how the hell people like Zekey can make animations so fast, or so good...I can't make a stick figure draw his guns! :'(

Remember that, everyone who doesn't make flash, or doesn't make flash well...even simple flashes require a lot of work and talent. I understand why flash authors respond to vicious reviews from flash-less people with "Flash by XXX: None"...because it's a valid thing to say to those people. Even flashes you give mercy-two's to, required a lot of practice and talent.

When does your summer end? Maybe Clock Day will help. :)
As for me, I may be inactive for a while. I am so addicted to Flash right now. :'(

well not yet, but you can still get there fairly quickly if you try hard enough. itd take some work, but who knows? plus, your nearly in the top 300. so ill go ahead and send you a congratulatory basket in the mail. it should be there in 4 business days.

but seriously, nice to have another barracks member up there!

so now, my daily report for 8/11
Blams: 10827
Saves: 6536
Total B/P points: 17363
Total B/P points acquired today: 114
B/P Badge: Elite Guard Lieutenant Colonel (137 until next grade)

this is funny, because i got the exact same number yesterday :P pretty good though, as im not usually at that number most days. theres a lot in the portal still, though, so im getting a good jump on tomorrow. if i manage to hit 140, ill be able to call myself colonel next report!

good luck to all.
