Yeah, I'm in a bit of a slump. Teachers are handing out more homework to get our grades up, research projects are due, and summer jobs are beginning to give out hours. I'm surprised I can even have time to post.

Well,it's the fact that you manage to, which is worth its weight in gold.

Still, the twat of a colleague of mine who can't bring himself to treat me civvily might just cause me to get posted to Carmarthenshire for a few weeks, which ain't good at all.

What do you do? And why doesn't the twat go out there, instead of you?

I'm a Customer Relations Supervisor for a housing developer. My twat of a colleague already does, as that's where he works on a day to day basis. I hope it's all blown over now, so I can relax for the rest of the long weekend.

Oh, so that's why there's a load of flash in the portal. Still, who am I to complain?

Anyway, I'm off to try and update the top 100 review resonses list

Be advised!
MadCow is now eating my dust! >:)
I passed him sometime today and now have about 30+ more b/p points than him. A long time goal of mine so I thought I'd rub it in a little. :D

Hopefully i will still get a good chunk seeing as i don't live in the US.

So again, vote, but don't forget to vote the right way.... That is all.

Will do.

Tomorrow shall be an enjoyable day for me, getting up at 6 AM to be at work by half past. Then work untill 4PM, then meet my friend, back to mine for a few beers. Then there is a kickboxing tournament on in my work, alcohol fueled violence, with hot ring girls, what more could you ask for?

Apparantly, today is Lock Day. And once again, I had no clue about any Day happening today. I really should to try to keep a schedule or something, so I can keep track of all these days.

It was 2 hours, 45 minutes. It was a LONG movie, but I enjoyed it a lot. It IS a hit and miss, though, so only go to see it if you LOVED the other movies and think that Johnny Depp is hilarious.

Well, it is Lock Day afterall, so there's a more submissions. But it's not as popular as Clock Day, so not as many people out voting, so it's bound to get a little backed up. I for one got quite a few points today, I think over 100!

True...I wasn't really counting my points, but since Noon I already racked up over 100 B/P. That's a great sign...and it makes me remember the days when I consistently got over 120 B/P...ahh, the good ol' days.

Anyway, I'm going to bed, but not before a:

DEFCON Update:

I'm reducing the level to DEFCON 3. The Lock Day flashes seem to have curbed since around 1AM, indicating the influx of flashes are done. However, there are still quite an abnormal amount of UJ flash on the Portal, some from over 4 hours ago! This indicates the amount of people voting are definitely not enough to handle the amount, and that we should keep alert. I don't think there will be a need to increase the DEFCON tomorrow, as this will most likely change by Sunday.

'Night all!

I've seen a lot of flash by this one guy. Everything's in German and it rhymes. It's usually pretty cool even though I can't understand it... but does anyone here speak German so we can translate it? I'm sure it's just harmless little rhymes, but I think it'd be funny if they were really dirty German poems or something.

Hey, I finally get around to checking the Barracks again and find this little bit. I speak German fluently, but apparently missed these flashes. If you need anything translated from German to English, I can do it. I'm curious now about these rhymes.

In other news, I made it to level 15 a few days ago. That's the good news. My B/P rate is still terribly slow. It seems to be taking forever to clear those last 200 points until the final gold badge, whatever it is. I can't remember...really need to get back into serious B/P'ing mode. That's the not so great news. I will get there eventually, however.

It seems I missed most of Lock Day as well. A calendar would be nice, if I could get around to marking the days off. Hope everyone is doing well. Keep B/P'ing and guard the Portal.

Salute!

Since it's passed judgement, is there something we can do like PMing Wade about it?

The other thing I need to ask is that I've spotted a movie which has an average review score of 9.40 from about 40 reviews. Should I contact Wade about this as well, as I think it's gunning for Underdog of the Week.

I don't see the harm in trying. Explain the situation to him and he'll either listen and do something about it or he won't. I'm sure if a couple of us pm'd him he'd be more inclined to take action. Congrats on 9000 posts too!

Also to MadCow for 11,000 posts and Arianna1 on that badass level 15 icon!! :)

Mark your calendars for July 18th, Glock Day. I believe that's the next big 'day'.

Unfortunately I virtually missed all of Lock Day, I almost missed my deposit too for a silly suspension at school. Come on, 15 days for smoking a joint? Pffffffft. Hell I could walk down the hall and punch 3 kids in the head and get less...

Congrats to Coop, arianna and Madcow for your achievements.

I missed a lot of Lock Day, too. That party I went to was fucking boring. I got lost trying to find the fucking place. It's out in the middle of nowhere. He invited 50 people and 10 showed up. No girls. So I stayed around because I figured that sooner or later, more people would show up. Plus, I kinda felt sorry for the guy. He'd spent $150 on food and only 10 people came. So after a while, I left. Waste of a perfectly good evening.

New HEBREW MUSTARD section. Check that out on the EGB Forums. Since only a few stories were submitted, I don't think we have to narrow the field down. I'll just set up a poll topic in a few days. While you're off tomorrow, why not read some of the stories for the Literature Contest? Again, only on the EGB Forums. You're a member of the EGB but you still haven't checked out the forums? Goddamn, you suck at life... Click the link in my sig or my sig pic. Sign up and post here that you need to be validated. Someone will validate you as soon as possible.

I missed alot of Lock Day as well, caught the back end of it, and have been B/Ping like crazy ever since. I've gotten around 90 points today, if not more (NGLog is a bit screwy) and there's another 5 hours of good B/Ping left. I should get 125, well I hope I do.

Also I've been noticing I've been blamming alot more recently. I don't know if I'm being more judgmental or if there's been an influx of spam or what??

Anyway back to the portal
*Salutes*

Don't piss me off. That's the second time already. If you got a problem with the way I run things, say it. Otherwise, leave well enough alone. We get enough detractors from people who hate the Barracks; we don't need our own members doing the same.

I'm only messing with you. Shit... And the stuff on the forums pre-dates this so don't go looking for a third strike or something. And it's not really the way you run things... It's just a saying that I find annoying enough to satirize. You shouldn't take these things seriously.

And who hates the barracks? The people that've been submitting these shitty flash productions under 100 kb? They'll get their shit deleted and we'll get our points.

All right!!!

After exactly 30 days, I've hit Elite Guard Master Sergeant!!!

Also, I wanted to do a little something...

How about a little challenge, eh? If you're not too busy...

Design a B/P rank someone would get once they reached 60000 B/P Points. This new rank would give someone a 100% voting power bonus.

Here is mine, Elite Guard Ultimate Commander! In the blue area of the picture is some stuff I thought would be useful in making your own custom badge.

Looks like I'm in.

Okay, fair enough. Joking around in good fun never bothered me...I just thought you were doing it to deliberately piss me off. It's not easy to tell the difference sometimes over a forum and I misinterpreted. Let's keep in mind I just recently returned and I haven't gotten a flavor for everyone's personality yet. That being said, let's move on.

And who hates the barracks? The people that've been submitting these shitty flash productions under 100 kb? They'll get their shit deleted and we'll get our points.

I wasn't referring to them per se. I was referring to people that actually came and spammed our forums in a big way in regular intervals just because of how we voted (F00D was a big culprit of this). They always said similar things to what you said, which is why I took it wrong. Also, we always had moderators that disliked us, which was another fun hurdle to tackle. However, that's probably not as much of an issue anymore.

Hum, a new rank at 60000 b/p. This is enough rushing to get EGSC, but EGUC, like you could say it? That's a little too long between 2 ranks. Maybe add some ranks between, like at 40000 and 50000 b/p.

...Yeah, I guess you're right. I was thinking that a rank that doubles your voting power should be hard to get, but I think 60000 B/P points is way to high...

Maybe just 45000 points would do? And if to get to EGUC you needed 60000, there were ranks at 40000 and 50000 points, they would have to be platinum badges. Much better than the gold badges, huh? :) That is what my EGUC badge is, a platinum badge.

If anyone wants to try this, here is a link to my EGUC badge as well as some stuff to make your own badge (In the blue area). Crappy .jpg messed up my other picture >_<

Anyway, see if you can design a B/P rank badge you would get at 45000 B/P points. Or design three badges you would get at 40000, 50000, and 60000 B/P points.
