Congratulations on your new ranking! I said it before but hey, I'm saying it again. 1,000 points can be done in two weeks if you commit to it. Good job on the new ranking, I hope you make it to Staff Sergeant soon!

That's the badge I had when I joined the Barracks. *Sniff* :*)

I am commited and I will try my best to make it SOON! Going away on the 29th Dec. so I better hurry up with it. Its only for one week (without any computers!) but it sure is enough to drop those precious rankings, which I definately DONT want.

Again, I'm not responding to your posts to tell you how to vote. You can vote anyway you like. I agree with you, some of those flashes are pretty funny, but most of them are not. I can understand you saving some of them every once and awhile but if your going to save every single one, I don't think that's right. I don't think all of them have made you laugh, I could be wrong, I'm just saying it is highly unlikely. Most of all of the spammers flashes are about racism or giving people seizures, that kind of stuff isn't funny to me. I hope your not saving all of them, just the ones you find amusing. I can accept that.

Make it simple. I blam when it is crap and protect when it is funny. Sure those crews have bad reputations, but some of their work is really GOOD. I have the full rights to protect those who I find entertaining, there is nothing wrong with that.

Hey, what's up guys. I just had like two dakaries, which isn't much, but jeez. Anyways, I released a Flash today called "[as] FIGHT FOR NG! part 6" which is a series a friend and I started. Anyways, as for the mass-voting, I find it sickening. Even though I know they will pass, I vote 0 anyways, unless I find them humerous, then I vote 2-3, mostly two.

On the news of Flash, I'm making a Flash, of 3.00+ quality, which will slightly revolve around the Barracks. I don't know if I will submit a Christmas episode or not, but I'll still try. Anyways, Hemlok, you and I should make a collab. I don't know if you have any previous Flash experiance, but if you do, that will be wonderful.

To DoD, if EagleRock hadn't restrained me, I would have taken a Wiimote and shoved it in your ass, just for fun. :D

Well, I get around a 70-73 pace normally. This week wasn't very normal, per say.

Still, congrats on that.

Now you're changing your story. Voting 2 on a flash you find funny enough to protect is not a problem. I have admittedly voted on a few that I felt deserved protection. However, your reasoning is completely ignorant of this an is simply saying you're "giving up" on the fight against the mass-voters.

Let's make things simple: There are three groups of voters on NG when it comes to mass-voting:

1) Mass-Voters - Groups that submit flash to get them passed.

2) Stat-Whores - People that do not submit flash to get it passed, but vote to protect undeserving flash simply for the points.

3) Fair-Voters - Those that vote on the flash for reasons that are based on their quality, NOT for a vote.

I think you're just trying to cover up what you mean. You said you started voting 2 because you hate passing by your potential points. Now you're saying the flash are worth 2 points. Pick your story, first. Either way, it sounds like you're just being a stat-whore and are going against what the Barracks are trying to do.

The point of the Barracks at this point is to change Newgrounds by removing the power from mass-voters. How? By turning stat-whores towards fair voting. How? By getting people to vote fairly. The more fair votes on a flash, less for mass-voters. Eventually, once we can get enough people to vote fairly, flash will start to be judged fairly. Then, stat-whores will change their votes simply for their selfish reasons, to get the points.

Giving up on our cause is giving up on the Barracks. And, frankly, I don't believe that you started voting 2 just because you like some the flash. While that may be true, the main reason is that you're just being selfish about your points. If you're going to be selfish about points, this is the wrong group to be a part of.

Excellent work though sir, I look forward to the next installment.

Maybe I could use some one for proof read...Bah. I just have to take you on that offer.

Very nice explanation EagleRock! I kinda noticed his story shifting myself. Still, can't blame a man for liking something. If that is the true side of the story.

Well, I'm hitting my bunk for a nice sleep. Sadly, I will probably be on briefly tommorrow since I have to drive over to my cousin's house and celebrate his 18th birthday. I'm leaving fairly early and comming back hopefully not too late. Everyone, keep up your B/P habits and defend the Portal while I am away! I hope you don't miss me too much while I'm gone.

You all probably handed out the booze after reading this. :(

Stats-whore or not, Eagle. Let's say that I want to blam those undeserving entries. However, I cannot get them blammed by myself. If I post here and say: "Hey, let's all blam those undeserving entries to hell." You are going to say that I call for mass voting in order to get the entries blammed. Then you will say that EGB is against mass voting and blah blah blah... Anyway, Eagle, like it or not, there are going to be many stats-whores voting 2. Even if I vote 0 on those entries, they will be saved anyway unless WE mass vote 0 to get them blammed. But since you are against mass voting, I am not going to post here and ask everyone to vote 0 in order to get those undeserving entries blammed. Personally, if I vote 0 or 1 on an undeserving entry, but it still passes the judgement, I will feel sorry for myself because I failed to stop the craps from getting in. Let's face it, we will need more than my 0 to get those flashes blammed. So Eagle, here comes the problem: If I vote 0 and tell everyone else to vote 0, you are going to say that I am calling for mass voting. If I just vote 0 and do nothing else, those entries are going to be saved which means that we failed to stop the craps from getting into the portal. If I vote 2, you are going to blame me for being a stats-whore. Eagle, I have no clue what to do, tell me!!! >:(

You're missing the whole point. I am telling you to do NOTHING but vote fairly. If we can encourage people to vote fairly, quite simply, we are going to be able to get the correct vote out of people. Whether or not that vote is 0 or 2 for a particular flash is regardless. The point is that you do not CARE whether it gets blammed or protected. Instead, you convince people that a fair vote is the right one. That way, undeserving flash do NOT get protected by mass-voters, while those that are deserving of passing judgement are passed. It could not be simpler.

If you need me to tell you how to vote, vote this way: VOTE WHAT YOU THINK THE FLASH IS WORTH. If you think it sucks, give it a 1 or 0. If you think it's good enough to pass, give it a 2-5, depending on how good it is. NO OTHER FACTOR should be brought into your judgement, especially wondering whether or not you are going to get the point. If you are so worried about your precious points, don't worry. if enough people follow suit and vote fairly, it will either pass or fail justly and not by mass-voting means. And right now, you are right...your 0 will not be enough to blam it. However, the more people that believe in this and fight for it will add to the power of fair voting. Eventually, mass-voters will not be able to overpower those that are voting fairly, and the flash will be blammed (or protected) fairly and justly. Eventually, if enough flash follow this trend, stat-whores will follow suit, breaking mass-voter's power forever. Therefore, your points will eventually be swung toward what is right, not what mass-voters want. It is a long-term goal, but it is a just one nonetheless.

I am still not convinced you are only voting 2 just because you think the flash is funny. But if you do think it's funny, and feel it deserves a 2, then give it a 2. However, if another flash is sucky and deserves a 1 or a 0, give it a 1 or a 0. Don't create a "rule" for voting on any particular type of flash, judge each one as it comes. You are apparently having difficulty determining that you do not have to vote the same on flash from the same group. It is fully possible to blam one, for example, Kitty Krew flash, then save the next one. Take each as it comes, and be unselfish about the points. If you do that, you'll eventually get the points you deserve by voting fairly. I really don't think I could explain it clearer.

Either way, it's late and I need sleep.

And STOP with the damn talkback to the spammers, even if you're "talking to yourself." IGNORE THE SPAMMER AND LEAVE HIM ALONE.

I'm done for the night.

Look, firstly I will not take orders from you, and secondly I was giving the man a fair warning if he didn't know any better, my job is to act and correct, yours is to sit still and watch. Not the other way around. There aren't many things I'll stand quiet too, which you should know by now, but taking orders from any one not technically above me is like a slap in the face.

By typos I meant places where the word you have typed isn't the one you meant to type- word wouldn't pick it up as you have spelt it correctly, it just isn't the word you wanted. There really weren't all that many errors, and like I said it didn't ruin reading it, but neatening it up a bit would just make it look and feel better (at least in my opinion).

I know that you have a higher position, a better rank and reputation than me, and you can choose not to listen to me. But you know that I am right on this issue. Eagle has the policy of ignoring the spammers. You can decide not to listen to me, but you really follow our leader's policy no matter how angry you are at the spammer. Ok, I hope that you can listen to Eagle and quit arguing with the spammer RIGHT NOW. Appreciated. :)

I woke up today really pissed off so this spammer landed on the wrong guy. And for the time being we’ll ignore him and continue our conversation as normal.

Ok, Phantom, I contacted ramagi to shut the spammer up. Until she comes and bans the shithead, I do not want to hear any response to his posts by you and any other EGB member.

I am not acting like a commander. I am just trying to keep the order here. I know that Phantom should be in change here during Eagle's absence, but like he said, he is not in a good mood right now. I am just helping him out by contacting ramagi so that we can bring an end to the issue.

Alright, the guy's ban is effective right now so consider it all taken care of. Back to normal I guess.
