That'd be pretty much everyone. It's Clock Day...mass protecting is the theme of the event.
However, while it can be fun to be a bit more lenient than usual, if you see a shit flash, don't be afraid to give it the score you feel it deserves. Even if it doesn't get blammed, at least you tried.

218 points so far today - a personal best and I'm not even halfway through the day :)
On a happy note, though I'll definitely be hitting Sergeant soon. 24 B/P to go!!!
Nice one, I've got just over 1,000 to go until Supreme Commander now, which is great.
HEY! RSQ POLL TIME!
Q. What are you doing on Clock Day other than just B/Ping?
*You have been polled.
I've been adding music tracks to my library, creating an Ultimate Playlist for my time spent of World of Warcraft later this week, amongst other things.
I've also found some time to write a few reviews and make more than my daily average of posts, as you can plainly see here :) 10k will be mine soon.

That tactiv has probably cost me about 50-60 Saves already. I'm not going to give up, as I'm determined to get 1 Blam today!
Will anyone be a bad enough dude to get some b/p for me today while I'm at school?

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.
I definitely feel you, man. Seeing this makes you wonder wtf is the point of this day. I understand the whole "Not Great" Flash getting thru, yeah, but the B clones and fucking "C's???" getting thru is ridiculous. It's too bad this is what Clock Day has been reduced to.
SPAM attack Day.

Well good luck everyone else, too bad I've probably only got like 5 more hours left >_<
*SALUTES*
I had to get some sleep myself. 6 hours lost ehre as well, but I don't care, I needed it. Going again in the portal now, though.
But something grand happened while I slept.
I BECAME A SERGEANT! YAYYY!!!!

Lenient, true, but still, some of it is plain ridiculous. The only things I can be lenient on are people that are genuinely trying. I mean, hell, how many of them are there? There's a few, granted, but most are clock flashes, a good amount of them bad. It's kinda depressing knowing that most of this stuff passes free, but I don't think of it as points lost.

Oh, I forgot to add to me last post. I'm on vent (and I FIXED my mic, I think) so if anyone wants to chat it up a bit while B/Ping, drop on in.

Cuz see, a long time ago, he got ticked that I didn't ask him for my EGSC sig. So then, post re-design, I figure I'll ask him for a new sig first. But he doesn't say ANYTHING in response for like, a week or so, so I go get one from the Sig Makers. THEN he posts and yells at me for going to them.

The average quality of the flashes in the portal seems to be going way, way down (even by Clock Day standards). Not mentioning any names, but I doubt I have to.
Incidentally, I posted a thread in our forums. Y'all should give it a look when you get the chance.

I actually just dropped by our other forum and read your post.
This is disgusting. People are just writing things in Flash and submitting.
It's a shame.

It's just getting worse. Every single flash that has passed judgment on the main page is blue right now with the exception of one (which is green). It's just getting way too crazy.

Indeed, Slash has gone from mostly-protecting mode to Dark Blamming mode. The crap levels have become near-intolerable even to a very lenient statwhore like me...
Although I still haven't got a SINGLE blam point yet.

Ugh, there's so much purple and blue in the portal. I feel like those colors are starting to burn into my retinas.

Don't be surprised if it stays that way by the end of the day.

Hello everyone and happy clock day as well. It has been a while since I last posted here so I will ask the same question I always do how was your day? Mine has been a mixed day with dealing with some annoying bossy people at my job (the bad) to doing some B/P in the portal (some of the good) That is right I am B/Ping today people. Other then that enjoy clockdas.
Smooches ^_^
Well I log on at what I make to be 10:36 in the eve and I decide to look at the portal. Quite a few clock flashes I wonder why. Shit. It's clock day today and I just missed the whole thing. I am a total tard for missing the biggest event in the portal of the year. Oh well, I still have madness day to look forward to. Who am I kidding, that isn't going to be nearly as big as clock day for the first few years.
e-v

That sucks man, I almost missed all today too with the internet randomly cutting out on the WORST DAY POSSIBLE.
I woke up early at 7:20am, didn't connect until 12:30pm. Ran fine from 12:30 to 3:15pm but then ofcourse it went out again until like 5 minutes ago.
I figure I missed somewhere around 500-700 points because of this. >:(

Have you seen the portal? Everything is green or blue!
Everything is passing! Even the pure shit!

Yeah, you won't. If you haven't seen the portal, it's all blue.
This makes me wonder; how is the "best" Clock Day flash going to chosen? They all have 3.5 +, so the awards wouldn't be fair, like the voting is.
Also, the portal is at a stand still right now, or as close to it as you can get.
Also, the NG server is overloaded, which could be why the portal is at a stand still, and why this post won't show up 5 minutes after I wrote.

And while you're at it, why don't we get the Sarcasm Police in here.
:-P
Since I have 10 seconds now between UJ entrants, here's a quick:
DEFCON Update:
We're still at DEFCON 1, even though the Portal is finally slowing after 23 hours of insanity. I'm sure there will be a strong influx of people rushing to get in their submissions before midnight, so keep wary for surges of new UJ flash. More to come past midnight.

Never like this. Every flash has at least a 3.5; Before, even though the flash passed, it had a 1.6.
I don't care that the flash passes; I just don't want to see so many good scores.
Hey guys, another Clock Day flash is out, and all FbF as well, since we did it in 30 minutes though it's not quite as good as the last one, but as I promised, Phantom, I put your music to good use! I bet when batting averages get back mine'll be A+ thanks to Clock Day! :D
Despite shit getting through, I'm making an effort to put a good flash through and that's what matters right? 3 Flashes passed by me today, WOOT! That makes how many flashes I've got now???

Yeah, I checked out you clock tut. It was ok. I liked you first one you put out today a lot more than the others.

Well, this shit is finally about over. A huge rush at the end and the portal is all purple. I think it's fair to say that Clock Day has become a disgrace to Newgrounds. The very few great Flash that were submitted were buried under a pile of shit. And those fucking spammers using alt accouns need to be banned right off of NG for life. I swear a lot of these BS Flashes were just those guys using alt accounts. How lame can you get?
CC Day has put a FOUL taste in my mouth. Fuck this day. It's absolute bullshit and I can't believe NG recognizes it as an official day.
It makes sense that Clock Day has become the day where shitty flashes pass judgment. Hell, wasn't that what the original "B" is all about?
But seriously, I feel sick! It would not have been that hard to blam the crappy movies. They stat-whores still would have gotten their points... Only blams instead of saves.

I get the whole be more generous thing on a day like today. But the way it was twisted into something more disgusting than funny is not cool.

Exactly... Instead they 5'd everything and every single FLash is grossly disproportioned to it's proper score. I mean, everything is blue?
There's a difference between a poor Flash passing and a blue score for crap.

That's what I've been saying for a while...and that is our goal as the Barracks. If we can start turning the tides away from mass-voters and overpowering them, the masses will follow. After all, the masses go where the points are. If blamming becomes the mode of choice for crappy flash no matter what, that will take away the power of mass-voters for good.
However, Clock Day would definitely be hard to stop.

Same here, but my buddies insisted on getting sme through before ClockDay ends. *sigh* I still need to groom them into good users so they can get along with the rest of the NG world. Still, you did enjoy the flashes right? After all, most of the other stuff was total crap.

Yeah, but I hate that i didn't get as many points as I'd hoped to get. *sighs again* Well, atleast I have another shit load of flash I made today. Too bad that the rush hindered the quality.

It's still worth celebrating, even though nothing really major happened. We still got some points right?

Hey guys!
Happy late Clock Day!!
Anyways check out my submissions (2).
There short but hey i've seen shorter.
Ow the portal voting is insane i had to stop because flash movies where coming in crazy and i could not keep up.
Everybody is voting 5 and i'm voting fairly but i'm not gaining any b/p points by doing that.
should i just 5 like everybody else?
