I'm back from school! This means it is time for the Portal to fear my power!
--------------------------------------------- ----
*Sigh, I'm loser*

Anyways, I completely forgot about BlueHippo, I havn't seen him on AIM recently, but still. I think I may get on Battlefield after I clear the Under Judgement list. EagleRock, I'm starting out on WoW again, I'm going to be an Undead Warlock, so if you are an Alliance member, you are a faggot and completely disgraceful to all the EGSC.

I left the Alliance side because of all the 10-year olds, but enough about WoW.

So I have an idea for a position in the Barracks. The "Barracks Programming Officer", who will command a team of programmers that will help out the Elite Guard Barracks when a program is needed to be implemented. I'm not a great programmer, nor would I wish to take the BPO position if it were created, but maybe part of that team under the Officer's command.

Speaking of programming, my fellow Barracks members, I'm designing a program called "The EGB Defcon Defense System." EagleRock will be the only one able to change defcon levels, but you could download the program once I release it, so you could know the Defcon level at all times. It would also let EagleRock comment why it is at such a level.

One more idea. I think we should also implement an official "Barracks Rescue Officer" The BRO will be in charge of contacting admins of improperly blammed/whistled Flashes, or ones that passed, but broke rules. I have no idea who could fill this position, but I think it would be a good idea.

Hemlok is a great person here, no doubt about it. But what I was saying is that an EGSC should take over the position because it is the ADVANCEMENT Officer. Sure Hemlok is doing a wonderful job at advancing on the rankings, but we may need a more established (in the term of getting the highest b/p rank) user to take over the position for now. It should be a close call between BlueHippo and ADT. But since Hippo is a close buddy of mine, my vote goes to him.

If you want to get a higher whistle level then I suggest you stop talking down about yourself and check out the abusive thread. If you take the liberty to do so, you will find marking abusive reviews is much quicker, and easier then flagging abusive flashes. I bet if you spent one day flagging abusiv reviews you will get a Gold whistle.

I mentioned the Abuse review thread to DoD numerous times already. I don't think he wants to get the gold whistle that way or he may be too busy with school to go there. Otherwise I think he would have been there.

Also it was made official months ago... =P

Yeah a few of the most important things about this position is being friendly and a decent knowledge of the b/p system. Donthurtme definately fits that criteria.

As for Black-Flame, you're just beating me by a measly 5 points. I WILL pass you and I will catch up to Sterockicy. I had four more points than you yesterday. I had 90; you had 86. I just wonder when I will.

Really did you count how many we both had at the start of the day. Awesome, Its seems you are keeping good track of our progress. Ive now hit the 2900 mark and have passed it. I hope I will be on the computer enough to get up to the big 3000 and rank up. At the rate you are going you will most likely catch me, It will just take you a long time. Actually come to think of it, you will pass me pretty soon. Im going on bloody holidays since school is out in Australia. God dammit! Oh well, up and till then and after then I will be back and B/Ping like a mad man!

Good luck.

I go on holidays on the 29th of December for one week. Thats when you will pass!

Thank you guys, but I think you should know being an Advancement Officer isn't just about engouraging members on raising their B/P ranks. It's for reviewing and flagging abuse as well. Some people don't think that reviewing or flagging helps out the portal, well at least they think it doesn't compare to B/P but they have different effects. Reviewing could help out flash authors on what the did wrong or what they need to improve on, more of these reviews would make an effect on having better quality flashes under judgement. As for flagging is self explanatory, whistling any unsuitable flashes out there helps clean out the portal a lot. I think BlueHippo would make a great advancement officer, I would be more then happy to hand over the role to him without any second thoughts. I would also like to help out as much as possible so it's really EagleRock's call on this one.

Whoa, today has been a busy day for the barracks... Assigning and nominating roles to members. I just wish EagleRock picks Members who are willing to do the role they are substantially initiated to and I wish all of you good luck. Both Bluehippo and Hemlok seem worthy members of the role being assigned to Hemlok, but I still believe Hemlok should be assigned that role. In my view, although BlueHippo may have more B/P points than Hemlok, that doesn't matter quite much because what matters is the quality and persistence one attains to his role. Hemlok seems to be an active member in the Barracks, reviews often, and is active in the portal. Both of them are great canidates for the role being given, but my vote still goes to Hemlok. Choose wisely, Sir EagleRock!

Yes, this place has been rather busy with all of these roles being handed out right and left. I'm glad you think I would make a good Advancement Officer. Like I said before, I would mind handing the role over to BlueHippo, but it seems he hasn't been as active here in the Barracks as he use to be. Whatever EagleRock decides I will be happy with. I agree with you, it really doesn't matter on what ranking you are in B/P. You can be a Private and still engourage members to improve on their stats. Thansk for believing in me, PengunLink!

Choose wisely, Sir EagleRock!

Indeed.

Also, I would like my other members to provide nominations for the laison positions we need, as well as input as to Donthurtme taking up the Recruitment Officer position.
Again, LittleWashu for the NGPD Laison and Pepeatumi for the NGDD Laison. I think you made a great decision on putting Donthurtme as the Recruitment Officer. I am certain he will not let you down.

Hmm...the pepeatumi nomination is definately a good idea, as others have mentioned pepeatumi for a role in the Barracks. However, I would definately say LittleWashu's time is too wrapped up in her whistleblowing and flagging to concentration on being a NGPD Laison. I would prefer another Barracks member to do that while she can concentrate on her role as the Portal Violations Officer.

It's really simple, Lieutenant General. Your ability to help others advance is not necessarily based on you being EGSC. Also, I am not merely talking about B/P, but involving yourself in all facets of serving and protecting the Portal. Hemlok has proven himself as being the perfect person for the role of our Advancement Officer. He can serve well as an outstanding role model and has, which is important to me, high spirits here in the Barracks. His enthusiam is, rankly, infectious. All things considered, Hemlok is the best for the role. While I considered your words carefully, my decision is final. Thanks for your input!

Jeez...I love you, too!

So I have an idea for a position in the Barracks. The "Barracks Programming Officer"

Good idea, but I do not consider it necessary at this point in time.

Speaking of programming, my fellow Barracks members, I'm designing a program called "The EGB Defcon Defense System." EagleRock will be the only one able to change defcon levels, but you could download the program once I release it, so you could know the Defcon level at all times. It would also let EagleRock comment why it is at such a level.

Intriguing. I'd have to see it in action before I condone it. If it is good, I can host it on my server.

One more idea. I think we should also implement an official "Barracks Rescue Officer"

This position sounds good, but is in fact redundant. LittleWashu's role is in charge of such rescues. If she sees fit that a position like this is necessary, I might consider it. However, since noone would really fill the role right now, I shall let it pass for now.

Well, I already explained why you received the nomination. You stood out right away once I returned, and there is not one word bad against you. When I offered you the position, it was not an idea, it was an appointment. You have the role, and you are the most qualified for the role.

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

ELECTIONS UPDATE:

Okaaaay.

Hemlok is now our new Advancement Officer!

As far as the Records Officer, no adjustment is necessary as Major_punk is already Relations Officer.

I am debating about Donthurtme as our new Recruitment Officer. The reason is that we are currently lacking a Relations Officer. Also, since my Lieutenant is in support with sharing roles, I feel the need for a Relations Officer. I am thinking that Donthurtme is more qualified than just for the Recruitment Officer and should take up a position as Relations Officer. I would like deliberation on this.

Also, There is a recent member, PenguinLInk, that shows great enthusiasm, knows the Barracks well, and would be a great candidate for the Recruitment Officer.

As far as the Mafia Laison, I am thinking of keeping Turkeybean as laison, but I would like nominations.

For NGDD Laison, I am considering pepeatumi. However, others have been nominated. I would like to make sure the Barracks in in concordance with this appointment.

Lastly, for NGPD Laison, I am considering one of two members. First is HomerDough, as he has been nominated and was a former NGPD member. The other is Socially-Failed, as he was, of course, a NGPD member and a long-standing Barracks member. I would like advisement as to this role as well.

Of course, Socially-Failed, getting this position will mean you keeping your nose clean and stop getting banned...:-)

Wow, I'm flattered that you think of me so highly. I'll endeavour to my best in whatever role you see me being most useful in here in the Barracks. This has been my first home ever since I discovered the BBS and I'd love to give something back to it.

Also, There is a recent member, PenguinLInk, that shows great enthusiasm, knows the Barracks well, and would be a great candidate for the Recruitment Officer.

He may not have been a member long, but his enthusiasm certainly is infectious. On top of that I think he posts more often than anyone else here. Being active for large parts of the day is pretty essential for this role so he would certainly fit the bill.

For NGDD Laison, I am considering pepeatumi. However, others have been nominated. I would like to make sure the Barracks in in concordance with this appointment.

As I said before I think he would be an excellent addition to the officers here in the Barracks.

Lastly, for NGPD Laison, I am considering one of two members. First is HomerDough, as he has been nominated and was a former NGPD member. The other is Socially-Failed, as he was, of course, a NGPD member and a long-standing Barracks member. I would like advisement as to this role as well.

Both would do well in the role. HomerDough is another fairly new member here (I think- I lose track of members :), but he is active and posts well enough to merit consideration. Socially-Failed has been a member for quite a while, but has been inactive until the last week or so. If he is going to be around more now then I feel he is probably the better qualified of the two (no offence to HomerDough- this is based purely on experience in the Barracks).

Good point. Not to mention LittleWashu has become a beast again in B/P! I hope you pick Pepeatumi since I think he best suites the role and would make a great Laison. I can't think of anyone better then him at the moment.

Eh, I don't see a problem with it. He was once a drop out of the Barracks and left for awhile. Now that I have seen him back he has made great improvements. So, as long as he doesn't quit again, I think he will do fine.

All things considered, Hemlok is the best for the role. While I considered your words carefully, my decision is final. Thanks for your input!

I was going to explain what an Advancement Officer was in depth myself but I was a bit skeptical on posting since he asked the question to you. I'm glad you responded and straightned everything out. Again, I will do my best as the new Advancement Officer!



So I have an idea for a position in the Barracks. The "Barracks Programming Officer"
Good idea, but I do not consider it necessary at this point in time.

I think it sounds like a good idea as well.

Do the Barracks members here feel Donthurtme up for the role of Recruitment Officer?
Yeah a few of the most important things about this position is being friendly and a decent knowledge of the b/p system. Donthurtme definately fits that criteria.
I agree.

Don't mean to sound redundant but I agree as well!

Well, I already explained why you received the nomination. You stood out right away once I returned, and there is not one word bad against you. When I offered you the position, it was not an idea, it was an appointment. You have the role, and you are the most qualified for the role.

Great! I'm happy that is all settled. I haven't really seen BlueHippo around here lately.

ELECTIONS UPDATE:

Okaaaay.

Hemlok is now our new Advancement Officer!

Hoorah!


As far as the Records Officer, no adjustment is necessary as Major_punk is already Relations Officer.

Sounds good. He has been doing a fine job.


I am debating about Donthurtme as our new Recruitment Officer. The reason is that we are currently lacking a Relations Officer. Also, since my Lieutenant is in support with sharing roles, I feel the need for a Relations Officer. I am thinking that Donthurtme is more qualified than just for the Recruitment Officer and should take up a position as Relations Officer. I would like deliberation on this.

I'm fine with that, as long as he gets a role. He deserves one and is experience enough to have one. As long as he doesn't mind switching roles, I think everything is a go!


Also, There is a recent member, PenguinLInk, that shows great enthusiasm, knows the Barracks well, and would be a great candidate for the Recruitment Officer.

He hasn't even been a member that long. He shows great enthusiasm both as a member of the Barracks and at B/Ping. It would be a good idea to give him a role. The real question is what best suits him?


As far as the Mafia Laison, I am thinking of keeping Turkeybean as laison, but I would like nominations.

He's the only one I know of in the Mafia besides Phantom. Turkeybean would make an astonishing Mafia Laison, the only problem is how active he has been lately. I don't know if he is posting in the Mafia lately, but he sure isn't posting here very often.


For NGDD Laison, I am considering pepeatumi. However, others have been nominated. I would like to make sure the Barracks in in concordance with this appointment.

My vote is for Pepeatumi. He is well experienced and already a member of the NGDD, he would fit the role well.


Lastly, for NGPD Laison, I am considering one of two members. First is HomerDough, as he has been nominated and was a former NGPD member. The other is Socially-Failed, as he was, of course, a NGPD member and a long-standing Barracks member. I would like advisement as to this role as well.

It's half and half at this point for me. HomerDough has improved greatly since he has joined the Barracks again, but I'm not so sure if he will just quit on us again. I doubt he will, but you never know. Socially-Failed would make a good NGPD Laison as well. He is experienced and has been a member of the Elite Guard Barracks for quite some time. I just don't think his frequent bans can live up to being a Laison.


Of course, Socially-Failed, getting this position will mean you keeping your nose clean and stop getting banned...:-)

Exactly.


Thoughts?

See above. :D

He may not have been a member long, but his enthusiasm certainly is infectious. On top of that I think he posts more often than anyone else here. Being active for large parts of the day is pretty essential for this role so he would certainly fit the bill.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, Donthurtme. I try to be active as I can.

Hemlok, I understand I haven't been a member for long. That is very true in your part. I don't really deserve a role, but if Sir EagleRock wants to assign me one, I would be more than happy to serve the Elite Barracks with the best of my ability.

Haha, I see how you could have taken my words the wrong way. That statement about you not being a member long was a good thing. I hope you read what else I said too. I want you to have a role, I just don't know which one would best suit you.

I completely understood what you said. "The statement" about me saying I don't deserve a role was my personal opinion. Sorry if there was a misuderstanding, Sir Hemlok!

I understand you haven't around for a long time, but you understand what the EGB is all about, and the fact that you're a relative newcomer makes this more impressive.

And let me tell you, if EagleRock puts enough trust in you to assign you a role then you must be doing something right, and it that case.. You deserve any role you get.


My name is pepeatumi... But you already knew that!

Wow, I can't believe I actually got nominated for something. Homerdough- is quite a good member though, and whichever one of us gets the position, I'm fine with.

As for the other officers, I don't remember specifics, I'm sure they will do a great job. I always like seeing the Barracks expand and members who deserve promotions, do indeed recieve them.

Fudge dapping.

Yeah Hemlok. I'm prety sure I'm not going to leave this place again. This place is greeat. and to Sociall-Failed, I'll be happy if either one of us becomes NGPD Laison.

If you win, oh well.
