So I missed a spam attack of unprecedented proportions? Lame.

I'm not back, I'm just checking in. My computer is back in my room at the moment...dude couldn't fix it. I'm taking it in to a real professional as soon as possible, because fuck, this is not funny.

FUCKFUCKFUCKBOREDFUCKDAMN

As for the ol' Computer-Girl, I'm really, really hoping it's going to be as simple (and cheap) as maybe a new fan or some thermal paste or something, and not my motherboard or something. fdsgfdsgfdsgsdfcocks

Annoyingly, it seems my computer is worse than ever now, running hotter than before. Three attempts at publishing a .fla led to restarting. Dicks dicks balls.

ANYway, after a few MORE restarts after trying to view flash (even simple ones), I'm not going to even bother trying to B/P. I guess I'll just try to do the relatively-simple pleasure of scribbling down fanfictions in Notepad documents, and glance at the BBS from time to time until my machine is brought back in.

For the record, I have occupied myself by going back to my ol' Gamecube, playing through Twilight Princess (I got all 60 Poes for the first time), almost done with a run through Windwaker (getting all the trophies, too, bah)...then it's on to Metroid Prime and MP2: Echoes, then GUN, then Star Fox Adventures (my first GC game, haven't played that in a loooooong time), then hell, maybe I'll clear my SSBM data and start from scratch.

So shyeah. Keep on B/P'ing and all. Sentio, you bastid, looks like you're gonna luck out and zoom ahead of me.

But as you all know...

SLASH WILL RETURN

The pink elephants can play some good tunes, I will admit. Too bad I can't say much about their dancing either.

But give the cut down a try. And just make sure if you see those elephants again, don't get too close to them when they're in the middle of a musical number. Because I'm not sure if many of the members here are fond of squashed penguin. :o

Meh, you didn't miss much. It was just 70 or so duck flashes. And it only lasted, like, 10 minutes. But Wade had to be lame, and remove almost all the flashes himself. So out of all those flashes, I probably only got 15 at best.

LAME.

SLASH WILL RETURN

We shall be waiting...

Bleh...

Three days ago there was the bonusstage spam and today there was these duck.fla things...

What is with all the spam lately?

I missed both of those spam attacks; usually I manage to catch the very end of them. I must have the lowest luck out of everyone here in the EGB.

It doesn't look like I'll hit Elite Guard Supreme Commander by the end of the year if I keep missing the times the portal is very active...

Aside from that, how is everyone? I assume you all must have got tons of B/P points from the spam attacks.

I wonder if there will be more...

If I had caught them in time, I might have been less than 100 points away from my next rank.

You didn't miss as much as you could. There have been a few small spam attacks over the last couple of days, then one massive one today (over 100 entries). Sadly Wade deleted them rather than letting them get blammed, so despite voting on all of them I only got 20 points >:(

Shame. Terrible, terrible shame.

though it is really quiet around here without you, so hurry back once I have a nice big lead...

I fried my motherboard on my old laptop, so I hope it isn't that (it ended up being cheaper to just get a new laptop in the end.) It sounds like it may just be the fan, as it is overheating.

I miss my gamecube- it is still back in the UK. It certainly has some classic games, and has a slightly undeserved reputation in my mind, considering the quality of smash brothers, metroid prime 1 and 2, windwaker etc.

So shyeah. Keep on B/P'ing and all. Sentio, you bastid, looks like you're gonna luck out and zoom ahead of me.

Rofl :P Less than 100 points left now.

SLASH WILL RETURN

Hope it is sooner rather than later, just not in the next 24 hours please :D

And a sad farewell to my baseball bat :(. I may get it back if Pimp hasn't deposited yet, though I think he has, so it is now the rusty pipe for good. When I made level 13 I never thought I would get to 14 before the new levels, so this is a surprise to me. 14 is one of my least favourite levels, especially after the awesomeness of 13, so the redesign can't come soon enough now!

Looks like you did get it back. Congrats on the level up, comiserations on getting a rusty pipe.

I should enter the top 1500 B/P today, i currently six places outside. Its not the biggest achievement but its a step anyway. I'm on study leave for exams at the moment so i can just check the portal every so often while revising, and cause I;m at home and not at school all day, i should be able to ger more points per day than my normal 30 for the next few weeks.

If you read Wade's post here , then it looks as if the clock crew has something to do with it. No idea what the fascination with ducks is though.

Thanks, haven't been around the BBS recently so didn't know.

It also seems strange, the Clock Crew just messed up their site hosting just cause of a Spam Day.

Awesome- I made some really good pace last year while I was studying for exams, it can be a real boost for the B/P points. Of course the revision suffered as a result :S.

I noticed that as well, but then I was kind of guilty of it too. In this situation I don't think it was too much of a crime though- after all Wade ended up just deleting the whole lot anyway, so he effectivley mass voted himself to get rid of them. Judging by the complaints that a few good ones got taken out with the endless bad ones I suspect he didn't even watch them. Not that I am complaining, he did the right thing in my mind.

Well, let's hear it for admins, as my blams increased by 17 for the third day in a row. I'd hate to think I was missing out.

I've gained around 100 more blams than saves this week, when usually I would have 150 more saves than blams. Most unusual, but there have been quite a few spam attacks over the last few days.

yeah I'm getting a good few blams this week. Hopefully it will make some impact on bringing my blams and saves closer together which is where i want them to be.

Update from me:

Well, I'm still in Germany and busy as hell normally. Had today off so I made the following attrocity:

Check it out. I think it's not too shabby for 8 hours of work.

Good luck on getting a rank up! I haven't been doing good myself though when it comes to b/ping, but I think that is because I have been doing too good in other areas of my life. I will do my best though to get everything the comes through the portal for the rest of the day though!

Hello everyone, I am announcing my return to the EGB [not that anyone cares, LOL] and my semi-B/P retirement. I will continue to serve the portal, but not as often as I usually do, mainly patrolling for offending Flashes and to view some movies. I also want to inform you of a sneaky theif trying to steal a Flash that's only recogged by those who've played the original here on NG.

Anyway, here is the stolen one and the original Flash by HFreak, a Newgrounds submitter.

I am also happy to announce that I am an EGSC, at long last after a little over a year of B/Ping. Not to brag, but I have to say it is pretty impressive! Then I was going to write some more here, but completely forgot what it was, so this sentence is going to fill in for that thought.

Wow, nice find! I just whistled it, and hopefully enough other people will to get it flagged as well. It did look suspicious that a new account produced something half decent like that.

That is pretty impressive- a full year faster than I managed it! Big congrats on reaching EGSC, and I think a celebration is in order. I've got beer (after all I ALWAYS have beer :D), so it's down to the rest of ya to produce the entertainment, ideally of the female and naked variety ;).

Well, I believe I can do that! Congrats ArtDanVal, and as a true accomplishment of becoming an EGSC I will be the one organizing the party for you. I will bring some liquor for all to enjoy, any kind in particular you would perfer?

So despite missing yesterday's spam-fest, I still managed to get close to my goal for today. I have some points brewing and I should be rather close to 3250. I'll probably get in the 3240s, but I've made over 60 points today. I'd say I've done fine.

Evening all! A few bits of news from me:

I am now level 14 FOR GOOD- not even Pimp can knock me back down now! So Tom, if you're reading, go ahead and release the redesign when you get back- I don't want to be stuck with this rank for too long, as the rusty pipe is a poor mans baseball bat.

Also, I passed Slash :D. Hopefully I can put up a few points before his return and make it hard for him to get past me. That is of course assuming he doesn't rape me (well, I say rape, but it isn't rape if it is consensual...)

And so far we have had 4 participants for the REVIEW CHALLENGE- myself, Snerd, Azentiger and Shanus. You have until Wednesday to compete, and in particular those of you hoping to be on the judging panel (PenguinLink and ILC), should take part- I want to see some enthusiasm for this if I am going to make it a regular thing. If you have forgotten what the submission is: Randomness of Thinking

I think that is it- back to the beer for me, and then getting up at 6AM to get to the pub and watch the FA Cup final- it's barely worth me going to bed :D (or stopping drinking for that matter)

Also, I see that you have changed you aura Sentio. Copier!

I really do hope the update is soon. I am sick of seeing that message in your profile that says "I will make this look better soon, I promise". Its been there for way too long!

Anyways, I really wanted to join in your review challenge Sentio but I am having a busy weekend and I am off to the AFL (Australian rules football) now. Its very similar to Irish football (shanus) if you want to compare. :-)

Anways, I am now only 6 ranks off the top 300 list (I passed two people today) even thought it says I am 308 now, You get the point!

And!

I am only 40 points off 11000 b/p points. I am not sure what the rank is (I havent looked it up) but I am pretty excited, My VP should go up to around 7.38 and I will go two ranks above shanus! Haha Shanus!

Im rambling, Cya all later!

I actually made my own BBQ as I had no idea there was a pack or model anywhere. Which is actually ok with me since it was good practice. And I only use speakonia for clocks and robots. =p Actually, I used the voice of bbq when he is voice acted. At least as close as I could. Courtney Leacock is tough to top. (I know. I've used him)

Let's hope. It'd be pretty sucky if I weren't here for it...

So, basically, because Pimp keeps depositing, the levels continue to go up? I looked into that a little. That's fucked up. I hope they have concrete limits for this redesign everyone keeps talking about. You know what's gonna happen? The pages are gonna be a slightly different shade of gray and the spam attacks will be reigned in a little more. That'll probably be it. There's no fucking way they're gonna be able to overhaul EVERYTHING wrong with NG, not without shutting the site down for a while, thus losing ad revenue. A few years ago? Well, yeah, in fact, they did that when they were moving to better servers. So either this redesign is basically gonna be worthless or it's not gonna come at all. Either way, I think you're all too optimistic about this.

They will have 60 levels after the redesign, but pimp will be lvl 60 straight away, everyone else will be re-leveled accordingly.
