Ah, THAT'S the $4,000 competition. Winner gets 4 grand.

I've seen some pretty good games. I really liked the one where you have to solve the planet disputes but I can't find it anymore. No clue where it went.

Thanks for reminding me.

Oh, and today is the cut-off for it.

Also, I was selected to vote for the top 10 of the month, but I can't find the link to it any more. Ihad it... but now I can't find it.

Perhaps I'm too late in voting?

Oh, the news post about it was so long ago, I've forgotten what's happened.

I don't know that one, but there are some really good ones. One I just saw was about removing bad food from the the check out line in a supermarket. Was a lot more fun than it sounds.

Thanks for reminding me.

Welcome

Oh, and today is the cut-off for it.

Good. I can finally stop seeing these kiddy games in the portal.

Also, I was selected to vote for the top 10 of the month, but I can't find the link to it any more. Ihad it... but now I can't find it.

It's in your account page. The one where you can edit everything. It's at the top.

It could be too late. Whatever. It's not like you saw every submission that needed to be voted on.

So the Clockday is on August 15th right?

I don't think I can really waste my whole day getting B/P points, but I'll surely try to get a couple of points and hopefuly I will be able to finaly make it to the EGB.

no offense to those who will waste their whole day :P

I plan to waste most of my day B/Ping, just multi tasking, doing stuff all whilst protecting (Eh...Voting fairly, on anything that comes up ;P

Well that makes sense...looks like WiggiWorld has a ton of good games to choose from, then! I found a few that I genuinely enjoyed, even if it was a kiddie game.

A year ago, I would have jumped at the idea...but when you're living on your own, it's kinda hard to justify taking a day off for points, lol. Oh well, I'll try to squeeze in as many votes as I can before, after, and during work...but if I don't get a ton of points, I won't cry. Slash will probably pass me AGAIN, and I'll just pass him again later when he inevitably re-fades into non-B/P....ness.

Hey, guys and gals. I just posted a NEWS POST about Spaced Out Pt 2, so if you would be so kind, please check it out.

Also, PenguinLink, thanks for being the ONE person in all of NG to comment on my last news post.

Yes, they definitely have plenty to choose from. I played quite a few that were really good.

I am actually taking Wed and Thu off. I needed to take a day or two anyway that week, so it works out good for me. PLUS, that'll give me a 5 day weekend which pretty much kicks ass. PLUS my girlfriend is out of town that week so I can just chill.

Don't forget to check out my NEWS POST!

Is it just me, or have you been neglecting your posting habits lately? No offense, but you've been posting pictures and posting rather irrelivant things for just about every post on this page, I mean, hell, that's a lot of pictures. Anyway, umm, you'd better get to work on that Clock Day flash, I'm working on mine as we speak!

Maybe on Clock Day it'd be hard to do, but you know well enough that 100 high-VP people can easily blam a non-deservant flash, even if there are tons of spammers out there (who tend to have lower VP).

Dude, you need to check the Barracks a bit more...there's like tons of them in the pantry. We're more stocked than the Dharma Initiative over here...

Oh yeah, let's do a:

DEFCON Update:

Not much of a reason to update, but the Portal was slow as hell a bit before. It is speeding up, though, and warrants a DEFCON 3. I would say it will continue to speed up, even though it's slow for a Saturday. People are probably saving their flash for Clock Day.

Hey, is it just me or is NG Log totally screwed up right now?

Starting last night I can't log my stats and there are errors all over the place. I've tried Firefox and IE, but I'm not having any luck.

Also, so far no comments on my news post. What I don't get about my previous posts is that I can post a true news post, but someone else posts some shit about.. oh... pokemon on the frontpage or some other emo shit and they get 20 comments. wtf? This isn't MySpace.

True but the spammers have strength in numbers, it may take 12 alts to out beat my VP but they already have 20 each and we are fair enough to only use one account, and by using those 20 alts to vote they create less room for Higher VP people to vote, not to mention we both know some high VP users aren't exactly on the good side themselves.

This is a reminder to all Barracks members: while Clock Day is going to be a lot of fun, there is a high chance of malicious, unsuitable, or stolen flash being submitted amongst the flood.

Be sure to whistle anything rule-breaking and :important: COPY/PASTE THE URLS OF ANY FLASH YOU WHISTLE EITHER IN THE EGB FORUMS OR HERE. It's very likely even rulebreaking flash will pass due to the mass-protection waves, so we need to keep a record of anything that needs to be PM'ed to Wade later.

That is all.

No problem, I gotcha. I'll be on the lookout for anything malicious, unsuitable, or stolen. I'll try to get some blams in too. Heh, that may be a bit of a problem though since I already have problems with my blam gun and it getting rusty or misfiring. I'm gonna have to get a new one or build one soon, or Clock Day will be a total bust.

So, How's every one doing? I've been doing just fine since I started on my Clock Day flash, which may be the only project I actually finish that will be decent enough to showcase here. i might submit the unfinished version after I clean it up some. I guess I need to do a lot more work on it though before I lose track of what I'm doing with it and go way off the movie's topic.

Well, I'll be multi tasking!

So, how many of us will be on duty for Clock Day?
I hope that lots of Elite Guard will ge online to protect the portal, cause we all know whats going to happen on Clock Day, and we need a lot of Elite Guards to prevent spam.

I will try to get to 2000 B/P points before the Clock Day and I will also get my new level tomorrow, so my voting power will be higher, I just hope that the portal won't get totaly ANNIHILATED !!!

Like last year, I plan to be on for all 24 hours of it. I doubt I'll be BBS'ing very much during that time period...I'll be more likely to respond to PM's than posts, heh.

The Portal will be a hellstorm of Speakonia and spam.

The only advice I can give any other all-day/night Clockers is this: DON'T SLOW DOWN. If you keep moving, loading flashes while you watch another, you can keep even or ahead of the tide. But if you let your speed down for even a few minutes, the UJ queue will zoom ahead of you and it'll be near impossible to catch up.

Thank Fulp that the highlighting-clicked-UJ-links thing was fixed before Clock Day.

No harm to me. I'd be level 28 right now if I hadn't missed most of my deposits. Although, I could have signed up, back when I found out about Newgrounds. That was around '02/'03. I could have been around the low 40's or something if I had done that.

Great, now I just made myself sad.

All of us. Hopefully. Everyone here should at least be willing to try to do more than just 5-10 flashes that day.

Yes we do. Except certain people don't stand for that principle, and they destroy the reason the portal is around; to let good flashes stay on the site, while the shitty ones are blammed.

I will try to get to 2000 B/P points before the Clock Day and I will also get my new level tomorrow, so my voting power will be higher, I just hope that the portal won't get totaly ANNIHILATED !!!

Meh, I can't over 170 B/Ps in 3 days, although I'm sure there are people who would disagree with that statement. I feel I have a decent voting power (7.35? something close to that), and that should suffice on Clock Day. I mean, even I did go to 2500 B/P and get the extra (what is it, 4%?), it do much good.

Congratulations on a big 3 years! A time to look back on some of those memorable moments since you have been on NG. I salute you sir!

On the subject of birthdays, it is my actual birthday on the 22nd of August. Put it on your calendars and I expect at least 10 happy birthday posts on the day! Also, a birthday pash would be nice :P (I'm not gay its a joke, don't take it as anything but a joke, not that there is anything wrong with being gay I just thought I would point that out. :-/)
