I didn't see that post, but I know better now. It's just a natural reaction for me to tell people to fuck off. Sorry. I usually ignore it, but the other name was replying to posts like a member (since, technically, a member was posting) and they only had like 30 b/p. The audacity of that got me a little pissed. Sorry. Not to happen again.

Apology accepted. If someone is posting like that, and replying to other users like they belong here, you can bet it is an alt account. I used to have an alt (HurtMePlenty, lol), and I did accidentally post on it a couple of times- when you are signing in and out as multiple people it can easily happen. That was one reason I got rid of it (by changing the password and username to random letters that I can't remember).

Just a random thought, but everyone that has been here a while, if you haven't read the FAQ then do so (link in my sig), as it was down for a long time. Everyone needs to be up to date with the rules around here, I don't like having to rant at people (and I only do so for your own good and the good of the Barracks), and I suspect the other officers don't either.

I've got a copy of it and it does have some size to it! Some names on the list are familar while others seem to be either somewhat new or just not the usual people most would think to be spammers, but upon inspection of their flash, they are indeed spammers of the portal.

Nice work Andrea!

Yes, their dancing is horrible. Comes to say that Elephants weren't meant for dancing, now were they? :3

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

Having endured many injuries before, being squashed by two pink elephants wouldn't be too surprising. But I'll try to avoid them nevertheless. :)

It seems like a pretty related note to me, seeing as we are in the EGB. Congrats, and it is an very cool badge.

I got 80 B/P yesterday, which is an all time high for me. hopefully i can keep this up while I'm still on study leave, it will set me up nicely for summer when I wont get many points as I will be out all day most days.

Ive become a private first class!

Great. Congratulations. And congrats to the new colonel.

Today's goal is 3400, but I made up to 3383 last night, so that goal seems rather pissy. I'm going to shoot for as close to 3450 as I can. I'll crack the top 1,000 b/p soon. I'm currently 1,139. And the next update is NEXT Tuesday, right? I just need a few hundred more points to move up a notch in the EGB ranks. I can make that.

Congrats on the rank up, but did you even read PenguinLink's previous post? This is your very last warning- we do not want one line posting in this club. It looks like spam, and doesn't represent this club well. If all you want to say is that you ranked up then go to the level up lounge- that is not what the Barracks is for, though obviously we don't mind people mentioning it along with anything else they want to say. If you have nothing more to say then wait until you do. There are plenty of conversations going on in here that you can respond to, so there is no excuse.

excuse me Im sorry if that was a one liner but I just attained the new rank and I was almost late for school Because Ive got end of the year FINALS, and so I had to make it simple if I didnt want to miss my ride.

True, true. And here is a fun fact regarding elephants- Elephants are the only mammals in the world who can't jump. :)

I don't think I want to know what kind of injuries you endured, if two elephants squishing you is nothing new.

Here is a summary based on the injuries I've suffered in the past: I've been burned by Phantom's fireballs, I've been flung into a wall trying to kill a mating Carebear, I've been smacked in the head by LittleWashu's pans, and I've suffered many Wiimote attacks from members when the Barracks was in a Wii craze. >:(

The classic golden eagle. Gotta love it. :D

Yes, its greatness is making my profile shiny. :)

The Portal is incredibly slow today. It also amuses me how a flash with a small size gets blammed in a matter of minutes when the Portal is in this pace. >:( Goes to show that when the Portal is slow, more users tend to vote at a more rapid rate than went it is at an average pace or a faster pace.

I'm painfully aware that Slash is going to come back and chase me down eventually, but the bigger the lead I get the harder it will be for him. I don't miss too many points in a week, so even at top pace he isn't going to be gaining too much on me.

And I miss those days with Hemlok as well, that really was an epic battle :D. There was a whole day just before Christmas when we switched places 7 or 8 times, and were never more than 2 points apart. Insanity! Back then I was sure he would beat me to EGSC, as I went home for two and a half weeks after that, but it wasn't to be. It's sad that he isn't around here much at the moment :'(.

Indeed, the sexy golden eagle badge is hard to top, as all the others have bars/stars etc, making them dull after a while.

True, true. And here is a fun fact regarding elephants- Elephants are the only mammals in the world who can't jump. :)

LIES! I'd like to see a whale jump :P. You might want to rephrase that to only land mammal that can't jump :D, and even then I'm not convinced. I've never seen a hippo jump!

I'm working on a story now. I started it a while back, but I've recently started working on it again. I think I've grown up a little more in those few months. I've been almost forced to. A lot of things have changed. It definitely gives me more focus. It's not a comedy. It's not an action story. It's a story that has a lot of me in it. I've fictionalized a lot. The main character is a female. That's a fairly significant difference. And I'm not going to make it a stereotypical female character. It's just that it seems that my stories revolve more around men and I don't want to get stuck in a rut. Anyone can write some macho, tough guy bullshit. I could make you six scripts of that shit by sun down tomorrow. This is a more serious tale. Not serious as in you don't wanna read it, but serious as in "no angels" or "Raiden and the Tick fighting a televangelist". I'm gonna have humor in it. All the best stories have a little humor. Fuck... I might not even share it. I typically abandon my writing projects. So few of them are ever displayed... I just figured fans of my stories would want to know. I'm going to have more time on my hands this summer and I hope to get a lot of writing done.

I made my b/p goal for today. The portal's been slow. I've barely made 30 points today. Of course, I've been gone a lot today. Graduation practice, playing Call of Duty 3 with my friends, running errands... I should have a lot of time to get some points tomorrow. Hopefully, the portal will be more active.

Oh, if you missed today's HEBREW MUSTARD, you missed out on a special trailer for a comic this weekend. Check it out on the EGB Forums.

It is pretty damn slow. I was hoping to keep up the 70 b/p pd rate for a week or two now that I;m on study leave but i only got 45 points yesterday. Hopefully i can just make up for it today and tomorrow and I should rank up at some point tomorrow.

Yea, you're right. The Portal was pretty slow yesterday. Even the morning was faster.
For today, I'm aiming for at least 6525 b/p. I have plenty of time to get these points: I don't study at all because I don't need it. I hope the Portal will be faster this time. At this rate, I should get EG Sergeant Major next week.

And, good luck for your ranking up, Solidone!

Talk about a meteoric rise over the last year! I've gone from being a complete forum noob, with just 296 posts, and just over 10,000 B/P points (that I don't get as the total blams and saves add up to around 11k, yet it says my total was 13k :S), to an EGSC and someone with over 1000 posts :D. Considering I had been a member on NG for almost a year and a half at the time of that first deposit, that is quite some increase in stat gains!

And just so this isn't a total stat post, the portal is crap again today. Bring on the Summer!

*salutes*

I think we could all use a portal attack right about now. The portal is so goddamn slow today. I know that we don't WANT the portal to be spammed up, but we could use the fucking points. It's been nothing but a goddamn drought for the past few days. I've barely been able to make my piddling-ass goals. I've never wanted to see red stick vs. blue stick flashes or duck.fla's so much in my life. Goal for today is 3450. I should be able to get it, but who knows?

So I'm sharing some of my weird photo edits and collages in HEBREW MUSTARD. I posted the final part to the first "season" of "Dave the Angel". Remember, you can only see how the story ends, if you vote for it at the end of the month. I know it's a cheap trick, but you gotta have a gimmick.

I picked up my cap and gown today. I've worn the cap all day, even in public. I went to a pizza place with my uncle today at lunch. Everyone stared at me when I walked in so I said "I know I look ridiculous, I'm doing it on purpose." They went about their business.

I feel the same way right about now. It seems as if all the times when I am on and looking forward to deal with some submissions, their numbers are fewer each time and there aren't many coming in after I check all the ones I can.

I am looking forward to your next installment of the series as well, and about wearing that in public.. you're graduating this year?

Back to the portal now.
*Salutes*

Yerp. I graduate on the 24th. Valedictorian. I think it's funny because I'm a very lazy student. I don't really do homework, and when I do, it's always a rush job at the last minute. I never study. I crack jokes all the time in class. School has typically been easy for me.

As for the portal, it's actually starting to pick up now. It was just abyssmal earlier today. I think since a lot more people are starting to get off now, they have more time to submit. I've made past my goal for today, so at least I'm on track. It'd be nice if there were something like a portal forecast. "Today there will be light portal traffic, with a slight chance of duck.fla..." Something like that, but since no one can read minds or predict the future... If any of you know anything about upcoming spam attacks, it'd be nice to know. And when is the next special day? Clock Day is all the way in August, right? It's a long way to August... Maybe this fabled redesign that's supposed to fix everything and give us all erections will be here soon.

Fun game, but you need to get some B/P points, kid. Go to the portal and watch/play the gray submissions. Then vote on them. If you vote a 0 or 1, you'll get a blam point, but if you think the flash deserves a 2-5 and give it that, you'll get a protection point. But here, to get in, you need to get 1,500 B/P points before we can consider you. Sorry.

STAR SYNDICATE STARTING A PORTAL ATTACK

Star Syndicate... looks like they're up to no good again. This is the full text of the message posted on the Star Syndicate:

The final blow to NG we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. Tommorow night, at 12:00 EST, we will launch our ultimate assault on Newgrounds.com and completely destroy the pathetic excuse for a website.

After 12:00 midnight tommorow, no single submission shall pass through the portal. With our new proxy voting engines (which I can't exactly delve into) the portal will be fucked forever as every single submission gets blammed. It won't even take more than one person to accomplish this. So don't sweat it if you miss out on our epic glory tommorow night, you'll get to see the fun for the rest of the time Wade and Tom strugge before shutting the site down.

And of course we have the backup plan, but I'm not going to spoil it in case you don't know (you'll find out in case we get foiled somehow) (which is unlikely to happen after all the planning we've done).

Now all we can do is wait..
