Thanks for the update.

Also, in happier news I am now in the top 300 b/pers!

awesome, huge congratulations on that.

Random word: Pesticide!

cool.

46 // 03172 // 0567 // 040.5 // 009.8+ // Solidone

Well 40 a day is certainly an improvement. I only wonder what i could have got if i had time to get on the portal for more than a hour on friday/saturday/sunday. Its still good pace all the same. I got another huge haul from the portal yesterday, 82 B/P, thats my best ever in a day. This whole study leave thing is really working out well. I won;t be able to rank up again before the next update but my goal for the moment is to get over 100 B/P in a day for the first time.

Don't worry about it, as you say most of us are asleep at that time anyway. Thanks for taking the time to do it :)

Also, in happier news I am now in the top 300 b/pers!

Congrats! From now on you are going to be watched :D

Finally. Sorry if I stuffed up EagleRock’s line, I made a bit of a stuff up a few weeks ago and its corrected now. I am not sure if you really got that many points and I am sorry if I made a mistake. It will be better next fortnight!

He has 1000 points too many again, and his daily gain seems a little high to me considering he missed most of the last 2 weeks, though I don't know for sure. It had me worried when I saw him that close to me!

Top 5 Gainers:

pepeatumi - 1187
Sentio – 1267
Pwroftheseagoat - 1331
PenguinLink – 1237
Seamonky – 1089

Nice, another second spot for me, though what is with the order? Pwroftheseagoat should be top, with pepeatumi in fourth... Congrats to all on the list anyway!

Special Congratulatory list:

Top gainers, repeat offenders: pwroftheseagoat, PenguinLink, Sentio, Seamonky, pepeatumi!

Congrats, I guess that means the same 5 came top two weeks ago as today :D

New to the list: Azentiger, Dante-Son-Of-Sparda, Akatsuki321, Ursiruss!

Welcome!

Top 3 biggest average rises: EagleRock + 66.9, ArtDanVal + 51.4, hongkongexpress + 15.3!
Random word: Pesticide!

Some big gains there!

07 // 36793 // 1089 // 077.8 // 010.6+ // Seamonky

My next (extremely optimistic) target, simply because he is next on the list. I don't think there is any chance of me catching you any time soon though, what with only two months left of being free to B/P.

08 // 33728 // 1267 // 090.5 // 000.3- // Sentio

A slightly slower pace than two weeks ago, but I'm pretty much steady as a rock as far as pace goes, hovering around that 90 per day mark. Hopefully as the summer comes that will go up to 100.

09 // 33723 // 0937 // 066.9 // 066.9+ // EagleRock
10 // 32819 // 0005 // 000.4 // 044.7- // SlashFirestorm

Two potentially fast people behind me, so I had better watch my back!

At least my average is about where I want it. And considering that I missed out on a lot of points, my total gain wasn't too shabby. I didn't make my goal of staff sergeant, but I'll get there before the next update.

I'm going to post a new section to HEBREW MUSTARD after I make this post, so don't forget to check it out on the EGB Forums. Not a member? Well... we're not that exclusive. For fuck's sake, we let Sentio in... er... JOIN TODAY? You can find the link in my sig.

NO EXCUSES, SOLDIER!!!! NO SLACKING OFF HERE!

...*ahem*...<jk>... I certainly didn't put forth the effort to make this list, so any updates you provide are quite appreciated. I always said that the Barracks Records Officer had a tedious job, so any updates like this are well appreciated.

Also, in happier news I am now in the top 300 b/pers!

I can’t wait for the update.

Grats to you! Keep up the good work!

You did boost my B/P by a good amount. Although I'd like to keep those B/P, I'm afraid Newgrounds won't let me. Oh, well.

Top 3 biggest average rises: EagleRock + 66.9, ArtDanVal + 51.4, hongkongexpress + 15.3!

I'm back! Not nearly to my previous glory, but I'm back!

Random response: Zesty!

09 // 33723 // 0937 // 066.9 // 066.9+ // EagleRock

Again, wish I had that, but I don't. Hopefully the correction next update won't kill my ranking in a bad way...

Very true. Slash was a legend in his own right with his daily star-pace days. I would only hit 100-120B/P where he would hit 160-170! Ah, well. We'll see if he can't get his butt back on Newgrounds...

*salutes*

*salutes*

In other news, I got my computer case today! This thing kicks ASS! For those interested, I have a link with specs and pictures here. Now all I'm waiting for is my CPU, motherboard, and graphics card, and I'm all set to build my computer! If only this damn shipment would get here quicker...

Also, I changed my profile, since I've had the same one since 2000-frickin-3. Also, I would update the DEFCON, but I see no need, as we're still chugging away at DEFCON 3.

Time for lunch!

In other news though I am currently on vacation and unable to b/p or even really post for a while. In my return though I will make up for lost time!

I hope all is well with everyones' b/ping and I hope the portal has been seeing some good submissions recently and not so much spam.

Hey, I'm dropping in again with some stuff to tell you guys, and it's not that kind of good news bad news crap either. :) ( I'm happy and not so gullible today )

55 // 02124 // 0000 // 000.0 // 000.0+ // KermitTheMuppet

Who in the hell is KermitTheMuppet? I never heard of him before, he should be easy to pass.

59 // 01823 // 0114 // 008.1 // 003.9+ // TheThing

A bit slow now aren't we, shouldn't you be bringing that sum up a little? You're lagging behind us soldier! Drop and give me 20!...

Unless you'd prefer not to, but it might help you train for the next football season. Gotta keep in shape right?

Aww man, look at that it's pitiful! I thought I'd be faster than that... But then again, right now I'm on dial up and the connection is like 12 mbps, which is SLOOOOOOOOW. As you can imagine, it slows down my B/P a lot. When I get back to dad's I'll have a fast comcast 100 mbps connection again. Looks like I have a little competition, or not, for the next week or so.

I noticed that Total B/P is only two years from my birthdate. That so reminds me of 1337. That means I'm to young to be on this site for about a year, maybe 10 months. Lol, I crack myself up sometimes, haha. :) I'm so stupid it's not even funny.

Yes, I joined when I was 11, and that means my profile will always be 2 years off.

I just got EliteGuardPrivateFirstClass today, despite the problems I'm facing which I mentioned earlier, yay me! :) I hope this'll inspire you new guys to work hard out there in the portal, it pays off eventually, believe it or not. And please note this includes anyone below my total b/p, which may or may not have moved since the rankings have been posted. So just err... Do your thing, I guess. My internet's cutting in and out so I won't rant and complain anymore, sinc it's proven useless.

Does this post seem overly long to you?

He should be back soon- he was back to his old self briefly a couple of weeks ago, but it's taking him a while to get his computer fixed up. Now that I am ahead and pulling away I know he won't rest until he has caught me again :(

Congrats on the new rank! As you say, if you just stick at it you get the rewards eventually. Just look at Coop, he has kept a steady pace for some time and is now getting close to EGSC.

Not at all, we like long posts around here :). Better that then a load of short posts to say the same thing! Good to see you back :)

I hope not! I'll be stuck at home until late September, during which time my B/P will suffer a lot, but at least back at university I'll have a good connection, even if I don't have much time to use it. The other problem will be being in the wrong timezone again of course, but I tend to stay up late during term time so that shouldn't be too big a deal.

I don't want to see everyone pass me again :( (that means you EagleRock, Slash, pwroftheseagoat, maybe Hemlok... oh crap!). I'm not going down without a fight!

Scary...looks like he finally took over my B/P for sooo long...he was gunning for me ever since he freakin' joined the Barracks. I held him off for forever, too.

I'll put it this way. You will never surpass me simply for one reason: I am the 69th Supreme Commander on Newgrounds. That alone speaks awesome. :-)

Thanks for saying that, Odyssic, but I don't think I'm so fast at B/P. And even if I was, there will always be Sentio, and Slash when he will return, and some others. So I have a lot of competition. Maybe I'll make the Top Gainers in the next update, but I won't count on it. All that I know is that I will get my next rank, and enter in the gold badges ranks.

Ok, Im just posting before school to show that I have fixed up EagleRocks bit. Here is what it should be:

10 // 32264 // 478 // 34.1 // 34.1+ // EagleRock

There you go. That should be more accurate.

Also, Sentio. I know that the top 5 gainers is out of whack. I was in a real hurry to finish before bed and I forgot to put it in order. Its funny how all of the same people are on the list again.

Finally, I going to be going to camp in under 4 weeks so in two fortnights time someone else will have to do it for me. I am planning to make a video that shows what is needed to be done to make the update. It should be pretty cool and you will get to bag my accent and laugh at my face.

I will give you a link to the video once its made!

Then if anyone wants the job they will be able to do it properly and check out my awesome update maker in excel!

I doubt I'll ever be able to get that kind of gain again. I was helped by the long weekend end, easily getting 50 or 60+ in the 3 and a half days I was off. I also made $70 bucks in that span, so it was a pretty good weekend for me.

Thanks, and don't worry, I will... As long as I have a computer, connection, a mouse, keyboard, fingers, hands etc. I will. You can bet your badge on that... The only problem is the tedious bothers, this and thats of daily living. I guess I shouldn't complain though, all I need to protect the portal is right here in front of my face.

:) Heheh, not everybody thinks that way you know, some people think my long speech like posts get a little umm... Well... Annoying sometimes, but if it makes you guys happy I'll post gargantuan paragraphs and gigantic segments of text. I'm actually counting the sentences, lol, I'm such a geek, but in the good way. It's all because I have a life outside the electronical boxes of countless circuits, diodes, solder and all the little tiny insignificant parts of a computer that make the Internet and life itself so grand. After this post, prepare yourself for really lengthy words and extremely long sentences, nearly incomprehensible to your common seventh grader, since I will be developing my skills as a poster. A tidbit of advice: If you can't understand just read around whatever you're struggling to comprehend, it helps.

I flagged it much earlier, but I didn't get around to notifying you guys before pwroftheseagoat posted. I had predicted he'd get to it before I even stepped through the Barracks doors. And for lack of a better word, he beat me to it by a mile. Nicely done pwroftheseagoat. Yet another stolen flash thwarted.

Did Phantom not say that salute chains would not be tolerated or something a while back?

It's sort've an odd coincidence that once Phantom goes away for a bit, Eagle returns back to his rightful place... as if on cue or something.
Also ArtDanVal has passed me in average b/p per day with that jump in his pace.

I don't know. Most of the girls I talked to only cared about certain things, like a good personality, and a good sense of humor. Then again, most of them have been known for talking crazy.

I have considered it over the last few updates. I realize the list is getter bigger and that not all of the members are actively involved in the EGB and some not even b/ping at all. I am just not sure who I should remove. I can see at least 10 users who are not active at all on NG so I guess I could get rid of them next fortnight.

Thanks for pointing this out. I just needed someone to point that out to push the idea over the edge and to actually commit to doing it.

Thanks again for the update, much appreciated.

No worries. It’s a great feeling when you can get the whole barracks talking about the update after you spent a fair bit of time making it. I like seeing people excited even if they are on a computer in a different part of the world. I am sure you got that feeling when you used to make it!

Oh and I just got a call from Coles-Myer, I got the part time job I applied for yesterday! Its time to start earning some money!

Still, I can relax that since the data pull, I've passed LittleWashu and will continue to (hopelessly) pursue the reamining 123 B/Pers above me in the ranks.

A few things going on around home to stop me from B/Ping as much as in previous weeks, but I fully intend to carry on and get myself the remaining 4k in record time (for me), to ascend to Supreme Commander as soon as possible

Damn straight. What's the sense of being part of something unless you take it WAY too seriously??

That's great to hear. :D I wonder what you'll name your newly built computer once you finish working on it. :)

Hmm...I really don't name my devices. My XP install on my new PC will probably be "EagleBox," while my Ubuntu install will be "EagleUbuntu." I'm very, very, VERY creative with that. My MacBook is named "EagleMac," my USB Ubuntu install "EagleUSB," my PDA "EaglePDA," and my cell phone "EaglePhone." I use a very sophisticated and complicated method to naming my devices. It's so sophisticated that I dunno if you caught on.

I'll put it this way. You will never surpass me simply for one reason: I am the 69th Supreme Commander on Newgrounds. That alone speaks awesome. :-)

You make a good point, 69th is pretty unbeatable. I briefly thought I would be the 100th, but a few people in front of me slowed down, and I kept up a high pace for about 6 months.

I can;t wait to see who wins now as there were a good few aweosme reviews done for this challenge.

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/870 . Just a random suggestion, its a very low scoring shooting game, i played it and there isn;t all that much too it but there is plenty of room for constructive criticism. just a random suggestion though, feel free to hoke about yourself and find one. it is a very old submission is the only thing.

the portal has been quite weird for me over the last few days, a lot more blams than saves, not that im complaining, if my blams. saves get closer together its certainly not a bad thing.

You have to be an Elite Guard rank to join here. you currently have no B/P, you have yet to serve the portal at all. try the NG Police Headquarters first. And check out the post by Bluehippo in this thread if you do not know how to get B/P points.

What kind of a Chief Barracks Officer would I be if I didn't at least take part?

that being said, I better win... :-P

Nope. They are as crazy as they always were. However, when you marry them, you're around them a lot more and you realize more and more craziness as time goes on. Of course, it all balances out. Girls may be crazy, but guys are just dumb.

For starters, I'm not Sergeant EagleRock, but Supreme Commander EagleRock. I was Sergeant a long time ago when I first started the Barracks. Also, to be a member of the Barracks, you need to be a member of the Elite Guard first. If you go out on the Portal and do your duty, you'll find that you'll work your way quickly into the NGPD, which will then give you the ability to join the Elite Guard. It's a long road ahead, but it is worth it!

I checked your records, and notice that you have not one blam or protection point! I'd advice to hit the training department here and train up on protecting the Portal, which will get you started on your way. Also, I notice you haven't posted too much on the BBS, so you might want to get a few good posts under you belt as well, so that we can be a judge of your character.

Best of luck to you, citizen!

I would most certainly be upset if I didnt recieve a "YOU STUFFED UP!" post. Even if I dont make one mistake in the future that would be a stuff up on your part. Then I could say "HAHA, YOU STUFFED UP BECAUSE YOU COULDNT SAY I STUFFED UP!"

Either way, One of us is a stuff up.

I plan to go throught the update on Friday and clean it up a little.

I might be getting close to Deity whistle soon.....i can't wait. I found out that i be level 10 on.........august first......WTF? By then the new layout and levels should be coming out. Which means i need to deposit to keep ahead and get to the higher level icons as quick as possible.

Oh, not so good. I'm already out of school which is a plus... You're lucky, I'm gonna be level ten in 31 days if I deposit regularly. The new layout might not be out by then though, I really don't know why though. Well, I got so bored today I typed this, hope you're happy with it.

This sucks, my connection just cut out thanks to a stupid phone call, I hate dial up. When it finally comes back the movie I'm viewing will be already judged... Stupid dialup, always ruining my plans to B/P on every chance I get. Man, I can barely get this post in. Don't expect me to post here much, the connection keeps cutting out.

I probably got in one B/P, I didn't even get to deposit today. I know, I'm complaining a lot again and I'm not keeping my word about posting with huge words and all, but I'm just too hacked off to really feel good enough to. Today you'd be lucky if I even showed up once or twice around here, but all I really have any time to do anyway is sit around and read the PM's I get from people. I guess I'll just finish typing 8 paragraphs or so to make you all happy about the long posts I'm preparing for you. * counts sentences * Counting this one that's four. I wish life was easier than this a lot of times.

Well, I guess I'll tell you what happened today in what little time I have left. Today I stayed in bed til about 10:00 in the morning, since clearly it isn't night yet. I was awakened by my mom telling me I had a guest and her ordering me to get up and get dressed to see my cousin Tanner. This didn't bother me that much until he told me that we were going to the garden, but I didn't show it for fear of disappointing him or something. I had to crawl underneath the fence of the pasture and get my white shirt all dirty with mud just to get there, and then I had to crawl through two rusty old little tomato cages, run to the potato plants.

This was bad enough I thought, but it got a little worse as we went along, Pawpaw Gunn was waiting in the tater patch for us to pick the taters without gloves even though there were briars and sticker bushes everywhere. And he even made us take the buckets all the way to the fourwheeler, which was about 50 feet away and it was a really hot day too. It was around 90 degrees out. Finally after an hour of potato digging and picking, we went inside the house while Pawpaw rode his fourwheeler around the garden, then we found out we had to take some of them all the way to my mom's house, which was around 200 meters away. If it wouldn't have been for mom we'd have already passed out in the sun on the way out.

We stayed inside for a while and played video games until we got bored, and my mom and stepdad went to go dig up some stuff, then we went out again into the boiling sun. We went to the dirt pile, and I had to crawl under the fence again, this time the barbwire caught me, and in the crotch of my pants too, good thing I'm not a guy, or that would have hurt. We finally were near it and my parents nearly spotted us when they were turning into the 'pre driveway' and we really had to hurry to the trees. Tanner nearly stepped in fresh horse crap when we were near the corale, thank God he didn't, it'd never come off, Tanner slid under the fence, which was gross because he almost touched the feces when he did that.

As soon as he was hidden, I leaped over the 6 foot fence amazingly, then tumbled down to the ground, and seeing an opening I ran to where he was at. Suprisingly, they didn't see me, despite my clumsy attempt at stealthiness, perhaps the glaring sun prevented it. We then proceeded to the dirt pile and began digging, then Bubbles, a really big dog sneezed, scaring the piss out of Tanner literally. We were making a giant get well soon dirt wad for Logan, my other cousin, who had been sick all week and we soon realised we'd need shovels, so I had to find a good way to get out of the corale, and crawl under yet another fence just to get a shovel I left in the big pile by Logans house.

When we got back in the insane evil horses were trying to get in so we were prepared to climb the old rusty barred fence. When we saw them go to the water trough we were somewhat relieved, but I thought we should go back to Pawpaw Gunn's place to cool off. When we got there we headed straight for the hunting trailer, hoping it'd be atleast a little cooler inside. Not to my suprise, it was about 120 degrees in there and as soon as we got in we went right back out to ask if we could stay in it and turn the airconditioner on so it'd be colder than the exterior. We got some mountain dews and stayed in the trailer until about 5:00 fixing it up for when they went hunting. Then Mawmaw came and drug us inside.

Pawpaw Gunn had cantelope slices on the table for us so we ate two of them. I had tons of salt on mine. then his mom barged in on us and made Tanner get ready for church. Well, I ran home... So err... Here I am.

So I've pretty much covered just about everything that happened today. That's about all I feel like typing today, my fingers are worn out... Bigtime worn out... Guess I'll see y'all later. Is that long enough for ya?

Lots of stuff.

You do know you didn't quote that, right? Was that on purpose, or was it an accident. Well, just in case... Here's a tip I learned forever ago, to quote something in a post, simply put a colon, ( this little thingy here : ) hit the space bar, and continue typing. Can you remember that?

LOL i have high speed internet. Also today feels good to be a gangster, i just got over 4k post. I feel proud and accomplished for this. Hopefully by the end of june i'll have 5k post.

I have high speed at my dad's house, which I call 'internet heaven' because it has 100mbps, mom's ( where I'm at right now with 12kbps ) is 'internet hell'. I'm working on my post length and post count, which is no problem since I'm good with grammar, spelling, and all the good stuff your local language arts teacher will be willing to teach you in class. Another tip from me: Try typing in paragraphs, it looks more professional and can make your posts seem a lot longer than they are. Atatsuki, please work on your grammar and post length, that way your 4k of posts won't make you look like some ten year old with a broken keyboard, no offense.

That reminds me... I just realised that I wore off a spot on my space bar by using it so much. Where it used to be rough like the rest of the keyboard now there is a big smooth spot on the right side where my right thumb hits it. I guess I get so bored while my mom is still busy doing the bill and taxes that I type for a long time and it makes lots of little smooth spots on the keyboard. Mom and Dad think I use the computer too much, I think they work too much and the don't pay enough attention to me.

What do you guys think eh?

Does anyone need more tips? I have tons more where those two came from. If you're going to ask for tips, do it over pm or just flat out ask me now. I'll be going to the portal in a few minutes. :) See ya in a few minutes.

Hmm...that doesn't seem right. Even FiOS only gets around 30-40mbps. Hell, my router's internal network is 10/100mbps. Are you sure you're not reading the Windows popup that says "Connected: 100mbps?" That's only your internal network speed. My cable connection clocks in at around 12-16mbps downstream and 1.5mbps upstream, so that doesn't seem right. Try http://www.speedtest.net/ to see what your speed is. Also, 12kbps is slower than dialup. You're probably hitting 40-56kbps at home assuming you have dialup, unless you're confusing that with 12mbps, which is about the speed I have with Optimum Online broadband cable.

I'm confused :-/
