Lieutenant Chief Barracks Officer - It's Phantom. Not changin'.

He'd kill us if we tried!

Relations Officer - Still Sentio, and he's still doing a bang-up job.

Yes.

Recruitment Officer - We don't technically have one, as PenguinLink is inactive.

If no one else seems to fit this role, I could take it over again (especially if someone else becomes NGPD Liason), but I'd prefer having some new blood (new EXPERIENCED blood, of course) taking over. It should be someone rather active so they're around a good chunk of the time.

Records Officer - I don't know who currently is holding this (my records got lost with our old forums), but we all know who should fit this role.

I WONDER

NGPD Laison - We do need one. Granted, Slash is taking over that role, but should he do EVERYTHING around here?

Heh, yes, I'm mainly doing it because I happen to wander in and out of places and talk to people while doing it. I'm not a NGPD graduate...maybe we should find one for the job, as I know we gots some around here.

We do have other positions which I have since suspended, including the Portal Operations Officer, Reconnaissance Operations Officers, Portal Violations Officer, etc. These positions were needed when we were much more hated, but are since not necessary.

Rest in peace, Barney Bunch.

I'd like nominations from the Barracks as to who should fill which roles (and don't nominate yourself, geniuses...:-). Also, I'm sad to say that our old forums seems to be down for good. We need to settle into the forums that Slash set up. I may fix it up a bit and secure the forums a bit more, as I've had a lot of experience running forums for quite a few years. The ranks tend to disturb me a bit, but it seems like a huge hit with the members, so I'm not sure what to do there, lol.

Yeah, I managed to set the forums up, but I'm not really experienced with it (this is the first one I've ever made). Eagle's got the tech, I got the...creativity, heh.

As for nominations...hm...I'm really more narrowing it down at the moment than having someone specific. A lot of people here could fit the jobs, but we need to find out who's interested, check to see who's done a good job at the roles in the past even when not an officer, etc.

Incidentally, Slash is doing a good job maintaining the FAQ and performing Forum Admin duties, so I may need to think up a new officer that fits that. Technically the FAQ is the job of the Relations Officer, but I'll have to think about that one.

Supreme Commander Firestorm, Head Officer of Sexy.

...what? Oh, come on, I was kidding.

Ventrilo is simple. You download the client from www.ventrilo.com and install it on your machine. You run the program, and it will bring you up to a slimline client that allows you to join a server. You can see who is connected and chat. It is mostly used with World of Warcraft or similar games to allow people to chat while the play in groups. However, it's also good for simple voice chat. PalTalk is good for that too, except it's free, and it's a much smaller footprint on your machine. Data transfer is also "cheaper" in terms of bandwidth, so you get higher quality sound than PalTalk.

Also, it's free to run a server, so I got one running on my Linux box right now...

I am nominating you to take the place of Recruitment. The FAQ technically falls into that category as well, so you'd be perfect for the part. If anyone has any objections, say so now, or forever hold your peace and accept him as your Recruitment Officer.

Records Officer - I don't know who currently is holding this (my records got lost with our old forums), but we all know who should fit this role.

LOL...I think we all know, so I can cut the foreplay. I nominate Sterockicy and Shanus for the roles of Barracks Records Officers. Now, I don't know how you do want to do it. SInce Sterockicy was technically doing it first, he could be the Barracks Records Officer with Shanus as his Lieutenant Barracks Records Officer, or if you two want to be equals and be Co-Records Officers. It's really your call, guys.

NGPD Laison - We do need one. Granted, Slash is taking over that role, but should he do EVERYTHING around here?

Well, since that's the case, I can nominate Andrea364 for the role. She did express interest in it and posts there, so she'd be a good person for the role. Of course, I want to let people give me opinions

Yeah, I managed to set the forums up, but I'm not really experienced with it (this is the first one I've ever made). Eagle's got the tech, I got the...creativity, heh.

Haha...I can tweak it up and play with it to make it more secure. Also, I'll restore a lot of the old forums, like the Records Room, so we have appropriate places for stuff.

Supreme Commander Firestorm, Head Officer of Sexy.

That's an implied officer, buddy.

Anyway, I'm back for the evening, so I'm going to switch over to my MacBook and watch some Lost while I write more of the story...

I just got signed-up on Ventrilo. Not much of a headache.

I would like to add that when you join you need to make a NEW Profile.

And when you join the server, put eagleworld.net for server name AND host name as I had some issue with that.

But other than that, it's not too shabby. Just had to figure out how to chat, so I set my chat button to INSERT for now.

Yeah, I'd have no problem taking that job again. I'm on a lot of the day, I'm very chatty with people anyway, I know the ropes very well...heh.

You can't be a Citizen and a Private at the same time, citizen!

To join the Barracks you must be of Private rank or higher (2500+ B/P). You seem to know how to B/P, as you have a handful of points, but you need many more!

Don't be too down, though...once you reach Security Guard rank, you can apply at the Newgrounds Police Headquarters, where, if accepted, you can spend your time until you reach Private.

Hope to see you come back with a lot more points, Citizen!

ah it's been a while

Not really, you can just listen and you can use your user comment to talk. FIX IT DAMNIT! Heh, but there really isn't a real need for it, you can listen if you want.

Check out the incomplete Advanced Barracks FAQ for B/P'ing to see some of the special days.

If anyone has any more big days (as in serious big days...no one gives a fuck about something like Robot Ranger Day), post about it in the FAQ suggestion thread in our forums.

Ok nice, but I think I might not gain a lot of points cause I hate spam and clocks are know to be great spammers :P

but some of the Clocks are great animators and I'm looking forward some of their stuff.
I also hope to get a lot of points so I could finaly be a true member of the EGB

Cool man, I never had to reasons to celebrate at once, actually now-a-days I hardly have reason to celebrate at all but I see your point.

I wonder how many of you are sleeping right now, see, it's 5:40 over here and virtually nobody's awake and I'm bored. Hell, I already voted on all the UJ's I could find and I'm still bored as hell. Can atleast one of you get over to Ventrillo so I can have something to do?

I'm awake, but I'm about to take my morning swim.

Gotta get there before the AIDS kicks in and it gets closed.

AIDS is transmitted via fluids of the body as we all know (do I need to describe them?) so if you get a load of people with AIDS swimming in your pool with a cut or seeing someone particularly attractive the fluids could get in to the water and infect any orifice that they encounter. There you go, nice solid facts (not facts have no evidence to back them up and are just the ramblings of a sleep deprived 19 year old with an over active imagination).

There isn't really an important need to change anything around right now. Except giving Stereokicy (sp?) and Shanus credit for the lists they've worked on. Maybe if Hemlok doesn't show up for another few weeks we could consider some more changes but for now everything is running smoothly.

True. Hemlok I'm not so worried about, though. We do need an NGPD Laison and a Recruitment Officer, though. Like I said, I think Slash would do good for getting his old officer role back, and Andrea364 would be good as the Laison. If no one gives me any suggestions other than this, I'll make it official tonight. Sterockicy and Shanus will be able to choose how they want to share the Relations Officer role, and Slash and Andrea will fill in the other gaps.

If I remember correctly, there's a way around that by making a post in the forums and authenicating that way. Also, if you were locked out for Clock Day, that sucks.

Well, time to write more of the stupid story like I keep on saying I will. Chapter 10's almost done, I just need to finish up the content and work on the chapter flow. Then, I'll be off to Chapter 11!
