There may well be a lot of submissions on the Sunday as well, so you might want to hang around for that. As Pico Day falls on a week day many artists won't be able to submit, and will do so the day before instead. It should be a great weekend of B/P, and if last year is anything to go by there should be a lot of quality submissions.

I was surprised it passed as well but now it will probably get turd of the week so we can see it more and more! Yay... not really. I wish people would think about things before they act but then again most people don't.

I'm going to set everyone a challenge, just because I feel like it :D. I want everyone to review this flash (which Slash mentioned above). The aim is to give it a review that you think it deserves, and not get banned for writing it. Yeah, your playing with the ban stick in order to tell the authors how you feel. I suggest you take your time over it, and make damn sure it isn't abusive or against the rules in any way. All winners get respect, and open access to the cookie store in the Barrack mess for 24 hours.

I may do this again if this goes well- it is good practice for all of you on how to write good reviews.

Get to it!

I want a fucking cookie, so I went ahead and reviewed it. I think I'm going to try to adopt the point-by-point method of reviewing, because normally I'm not very organized, lol, and ramble on. May be longer, but meh. I want to get up to 500 review eventually...

You just got a useful review mark from me- cookies earnt :D. I reviewed it as well, so that is hopefully two reviews that won't get deleted! The point-by-point method is useful to give a review some structure, plus it ensures that you comment on every aspect of the flash- that is why I use it most of the time. 100 reviews is my current aim...

To the rest of you- two reviews to look at and give you inspiration- now it's your turn :D

*salutes*

Well i got 72 b/p points before i deposited for the new day. So noi only have 216 to go until my next rank. Me keeping up this pace and i will have that next rank by this weekend easily.

Not bad- about the same as I have managed today, although considering how busy I was at work today that is pretty damn good. I've said it before, but try and post a little less, but have more content in each- you seem to have a lot of very short posts, many of which say almost exactly the same things. Just work on your posting a little- improving our members is one thing we like to aim for :)

And check out my reviews- I knew asking flash not to give me a Slashfic would result in one for sure- reverse psychology for the win!! :P Just three Slash submissions left to review now- they are really boosting my review count.

Yup, just reviewed it. That was actually kinda fun.

Though my review is mostly sarcastic on my side, I hope it doesn't look like it as I reviewed it as if the guy actually TRIED (which it's more than obvious he did not).

In either case: 0!

Never call someone who is willing to drink your blood the following:

a. A freak

c. Anything other than 'Sir' or 'Madam'

Of course you dont want to upset those blood thirsty people. But i am on and i going to b/p alittle before i have to return to Hell..(School in other words). But i will be back in alittle while so see you alll when i return.

I just read your review, and again gave it a positive mark, so cookies for you as well, assuming no review mods don't take it the wrong way! It is good practice to review submissions like this- anyone can give a good review to a good movie, but it is quite an art to give a bad review to a bad movie and not get a ban for it. It's a shame as the bad movies are the ones that most need the reviews, either to give them good feedback/advice, or to stop them getting review crew pick/underdog :S.

More people need to take up the challenge- the cookies won't last forever (especially with Slash around them!). If this is successful I may well make it a weekly challenge to review the Turd of the week, or any movie that looks like it might get it.

I don't miss school, but at the same time it is better than working (ignoring the getting paid part). University is where it's at- I don't plan on ever leaving :D

All I got was 'Characters remaining: 4,096'. I guess he couldn't come up with anything better :D. And I noticed the submissions title changed again, this time to something a little less offensive (not that that is hard!). It annoys me how people are able to do this after the flash has passed- many of the reviews now look like they are off topic and reviewing something else, which puts them at risk of deletion, even though they were quite valid at the time.

Really there needs to be a way to stop authors from changing titles and swapping flashes after judgement, but I also realise there are benefits of being able to, like being able to correct any bugs. It is something I hope the admins are looking into anyway.

Um, can I get my EGB Cookie now? I believe I did a fairly good job with that review. I normally don't write reviews for those types of flashes though. :/

I still think that they should make it so we can only vote on a flash once in its first week of existence...it wouldn't be a solution, but it'd drastically help prevent the upvoting/downvoting wars for some of the awards.

After the weekly awards have been decided, then people could go back to voting on something daily, because then no one really gives a fuck where the score goes, because it'll barely ever be seen again, anyway.

Also, they should go a step further and make it so a title change at any time makes a flash ineligible for an award. Currently, as long as the title is changed while UJ, the flash can still win one (as in the case of this week's TOTW, which was changed just before passing).

If that flash had the Jew-title from the start, you know it wouldn't have stood a chance of passing...and if they did switch it, it would drift off the portal, unable to win any award.

Let's hope the new layout addresses some of these problems.

Oh.

But no, a bunch of zero-happy people are going to do exactly what the submitters want and make abusive reviews and zero it repeated because it's got an antagonistic title, which will very likely give it Turd of the Week and give it massive publicity.

Yeah it looks like a prime candidate for totw. It is kinda stupid the way the authors of this kind of stuff get exactly what they want.

sigh: I wish Newgrounders were smarter than this. If they'd just IGNORE it, it'd be gone.

I'm sure some newgrounders are, but as a whole, newgrounds is definitely not smarter than this.

Cookies earnt- another good review, the EGB has some very good reviewers it seems :). It isn't the kind of submission I would normally review either, that is why it is so good for a small challenge like this. It isn't easy to review it and give constructive criticism, and also avoid being abusive. You missed out on the incredibly abusive title it had last night as well, which made it all the harder to review.

At 4/25/07 02:03 PM, SlashFirestorm wrote: a whole lotta stuff

I actually think a way to stop some of these turds from getting turd is that if you edit the Flash at ALL it doesn't get a shot at TOW.

Also, once you get any award, if you change the Flash or title it should require a mod to approve that change.

that sounds like a fair idea to me.

Yeah i was going to suggest something like this, either that or it goes back under judgement, but i suppose if the flash went UJ again, the whole process could possibily repeat itself.

-Yay, +1 Cookie for me.
-Yes, It seems like we do have lots of good EGB reviewers. I wish there were more like us. Not many people review in the EGB. Well, not that I know of. I only saw Slash's and Sentio's review.
-Response that I got from the real author.

you should know by now that those are random co authors

Hahaha! No shit serlock. But still, adding more people to something that's not even a flash is kinda stupid. Sorta like mass voting to make sure they get the five. :/

What kills me is that alone is again the NG Portal rules. It says not to add people that didn't contribute to the Flash, so in my opinion all these POS Flashes need to be erased that do this.

Take the first one on the list. Cereal. How many of those Flashes under his name do you think he ACTUALLY did? Not many, I would imagine. Delete, delete, delete.

Sounds fair to me!

Well im back home from school. But i also just just here from the portal and there is only 5 UJ flashes that really sucks. But i think it might pick up pace by about mid-day or so.

Yeah, the portal has been slow ever since i came on. Ive been on for nearly three hours and its taken me that long to get the less than 20 points i need to rank up:

ahem...

Elite Guard Private First Class
2,000 b/p

and one step closer to 6.00 VP.

Congratulations, PFC! Keep up the good work and continue becoming more powerful!

:salute:

Now you're the rank I was when I joined the Barracks...:sniff: memories...

Congrats Solid on the rank-up. Well if i can keep up my 70-75 b/p points a day pace up i could/should be ranked up before Pico Day. But as slow as the portal is running right now i cant really see myself keeping that pace for very much longer.

wow i remember this club back when i used to be into this kinda stuff

My day gets cut down to one eighth the time I will need, all because of school, bedtime, and my dad making my go around '' getting groceries '' probably just to keep me from b/p'ing.
I hate school...

My parents don't like me going on Newgrounds. They think I'm getting viruses from this place. They don't really care since I'm on the old computer most of the time. But I'll find time to get as many B/P into my profile as possible. I'm hoping, if everyone votes honestly (which seems to me that people do on Pico Day), that I'll get a lot. But if I see a trend of bad flashes passing, I'll just quit.

My dad is always pressuring me to change things about my ng account like my profile message. It sucks.

Yeah, whatever happened to Ted? I haven't seen him around NG in a while

I still want to be part of the club. I won't bother anyone and I'll try to keep any offensiveness to myself. I don't want to be taken off the roll or anything and I do like the people here, especially Slash. He's a good guy.

Well my dad does not really care what i go to since i have my own laptop and all. But so far i have only been able to get 33 b/p points and considering the time i have been on NG that's not really all that much. But i am still hoping to have about 70-75 b/p points by the end of the day today.

I'm sure this will be removed shortly, but anyway:

Unsuitable.

Also, I started B/P'ing again a little, I got a decent amount on Star Day. Also, unfortunately I recently got a very severe sunburn, which has resulted in me staying in bed for long stretches of time, so I should eventually reach my next rank. So I guess something good came out of it, lol :P
