My bad, by the time it made my post your movie was already out of the top 50 UJ movies. However....

Congrats on your movie passing judgment... And with almost a score of 4.00!!

Besides the clock day frenzy, has anyone had a problem like I'm having with submissions, you click on one and it gives you an error message saying the flash never existed and it was just submitted...This has already happened to me 3 times in the past hour.

Oh that's fine, your congrats are for me. :D I worked hard on it anyway, me and my team actually, I did the art and animation, they did the major effects. Amazing no? Are you going to review any time soon?

The extreme Clock Day load is really hampering the servers, I'm having a bit of the same problem...

Exactly. Granted, you might be a bit more forgiving during Clock Day (let's be realistic...I know you're not all perfect and wouldn't expect you to be), be fair, and vote fair. If they put effort in, it's probably worth the protection. However, blatant spam, no matter how tempting the point, isn't really worth 2 or higher.

I think it's a site-wide issue. I had the same issue 3 times (and a fourth one just now), probably with the same flash. I've seen that happen on other days, too, confirmed by others as well. It's probably a site bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

The FBF action was definitely not bad. Not 5 material, but definitely good. And the effort shows.

Yeah, I had that issue too. Server load probably blipped the servers down temporarily. If one day could kill Newgrounds, this is it.

Thanks! You have no idea how messy the FbF was to do, I can send you the file if you'd like. Anyway, I had originally been working on y mini tutuials before I realised what day it almost was. I whipped up the last part at the last second. well, I gotta go to bed if I don't want to miss school tomorrow. G'nite!

My computer restarted from overheating once already, but I discovered that if I adblock the Clock-y header and other background stuff, my computer runs several degrees cooler, so I should be okay now as long as I don't try to load too many flashes at once.

Hey, I vote fairly.

FAIRLY QUICKLY LOLOL

Seriously, though, I'm trying to watch em all, heh. I'm not bothering going back to the portal page between flashes...I'm just +1'ing the submission ID's in the URL. XD

What he said. ^

So in the first hour I've already gained 101 points, and a few blams. Hopefully I can top 200 before I go to bed whenever the portal slows down tTen I'm getting up at 7:20am sharp to continue for virtually the whole day. So much potential today. ^_^

Make sure you watch This ONE: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/39 3489

I made it in about 5 minutes.

And... well, at least it's fucking funny and doesn't just say "VOTE 5" and then get nearly a 4 point fucking 0!!!

Seven.

That's how many Flashes have been blammed in the last 2 hours.

Wow. So much junk gets thru. Even my piece of trash got a 3.8.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2007-08-15 02:07:48


Hi guys, Clock day is upon us!

I just got home from school so I am wondering

Did the mass ammount of clock day submissions only start 2 hours ago or has it been going on all day?

I really hope it only just began!

I am ready to protect the portal everyone. Sterockicy signing in and not signing out for many many hours. I have a feeling its going to be an all nighter for me! I mustn't let Shanus pass me!

Well, I have to quit for the night, thanks to work. Hopefully I'll get some B/Ping in during work tomorrow, to bring my count up higher... I landed 123 B/P...not bad for a critical voter on clock day, lol.

You know, clock day is fun for the first couple hours but now with SO MUCH CRAP in the portal I don't feel like it any longer. I've been trying to blam all that crap but it all gets through, I'm losing hope for the portal.

I can't agree more, man. It's a huge downer to see absolute pieces of shit get thru. Out of anger I made a POS and it got thru with a 3.8 (now a 3.7).

That's the worst part of it. Someone makes a flash and it has a WORD in it or some crap loop and it pops out the other side with rave scores. I mean, if people are going to go down and vote to pass crap, it'd be nice if they at least got away form the 5 and hit 2 or something.

Don't say impossible. Two more got blammed in the last hour...

Two.

Both with passing scores, though so the artist probably did it themselves or a mod did it for some reason.

They weren't blammed then and a mod can't delete submissions. Only an admin or the person who submitted them can and to be honest with you.. I don't know if Wade or anyone else will be deleting submissions this year like years before. Theres just too much going on at the moment with the redesign and all.

I submitted two things myself and both got close to a 4.0! I know they were bad though so don't hassle me too much. :(

I'm protecting the portal (Protecting being the optimum word) at the moment. I've been on for about 1h 45 and I'm up to about 75 Saves, 0 Blams. Not for the want of trying, there si some real shite coming through with "Happy Clock Day" written on it, which saddens me, when I see it going on to get a blue score.

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 think we're swimming against the tide today, unfortunately. I'm still trying to lay the smackdown on some of these faggots though.

Hey everybody Happy clock day! Well it seems i have has a very good day todya. Cause i co-authored in two of Lotus's flashes. And in my frist 2 hours of clock day i have gotten 100 b/p points. So hopefully with this kind of pace i should be able to move up a couple of ranks come next update. but for now i am heading back to the portal. There is still much work to be done there.

Certainly against the tide, but I am still finding my ZERO button when it is deemed necessary. The blue scored crap is grating on my nerves. It makes me kinda mad that there are some seriously quality Flashes out there getting buried under the tide of shit.

HEY! RSQ POLL TIME!
Q. What are you doing on Clock Day other than just B/Ping?

*You have been polled.

Me? I've got movies going on in the background. I started out with "Clerks II", moved into the Adam Sandler domain with "Click", "Anger Management" and now "Happy Gilmore." I'm living off of Tostitos, Frozen dinners (2 so far) and alternating between Coke Zero and Water. Oh, and playing with my two dogs and my ferret.

I can pretty much safely say that this year's clock day is much more of a failure than any other year, the spam is flowing through like chunks of shit and anything with clock written on it passes, and while the quantities are looking good and I assume so far there have been about 300 but it will hardly reach 1000 by the end of clock day, and even then anyone who has gotten the whole 1000 points has little to be proud of seeing as he/she must have voted protection on some god awful shit, and I will have none of that, for me clock day is over, I have some 200+ points and I'm quite sad that is all it took to bore me out of clock day, but it did. And with that, I'm leaving the house, screw this, this is now no more than a casual spam day and I wish to have nothing more to do with it. Goodbye.

Meh, it's possible to vote fairly and still get a lot of points. I've been zero'ing a lot of those tiny little pieces of crap (lots of B-clones, etc), and I've managed to get 327 points so far.

I'm a bit pissed off that I missed the first 6 hours of clock day because of sleeping, but 50 points for my first 30 minutes aint to bad. Been zeroing some stuff too, that'll hurn my points no end.
Well good luck everyone else, too bad I've probably only got like 5 more hours left >_<
