IMPORTANT NOTE:

Hello all barracks members. This is your barracks roster maker Sterockicy here. Just making a quick post to assure you that the barracks roster update WILL be made and posted this Tuesday. I know I stated that I would make it last week (and I didn't) but I had work and well, after a hard day at school the last thing I want to do before work is an update. This Tuesday I don't have work so I will get one done for you all.

Be patient and don't start mass murdering random people out of anger and frustration in a hope that it will somehow make an update happen.

I vote zero on the spin-offs always. They're basicaly a copy from the original one, which isn't that great, but sometimes they're pass-worth. And the spin-offs are way crappier than the original "series", SoulMaster71 did a comparation of each of them a few pages ago.

Ok then. I got quite some B/P this week and I'm close one becoming a Staff Sergeant. And then a Master Sergeant. And then a... AHHH, so many Sergeant levels! NEVR was right about this!

Not quite all of them. I left out Elite-Sniper's Stalin-based series about freeing the Pokémon that Hitler caught, and the Chairman Mao-based series about killing all the Pokémon that Stalin freed. And since then, MilfredmousZX, Fleek, and Morgan Freeman have all gained spinoffs of their own. Probably the only one that's any good is the one-off by Bahamut, more because it has animation and a plot than anything else, and therefore is not so much a spinoff of the original series as a tribute movie.

The 1 must be the least-used vote on the bar. I rarely, if ever, use it... But still, yeah, there are far too few Blams in the Portal now. Kids in middle school come to NG, and they don't care about the Portal or about quality Flash, just about the points. They are just as likely to vote 5 on a 10MB blank screen as on the next Waterlollies...

sorry for that :P

Id like to get more blam points, but it seems like the submitters smartened up and either stopped posting shit movies or joined a crew to protect their shit movies.

I miss the old school days when only extremely good (by todays standards of ng flicks) ones were passed and even the mediocre stuff was blammed back to the stone age.

*Sigh* its gonna take forever to get my blams to the holy grail of 15,000 (I want to get my b/p to an even 30,000... 15k for b and 15k for p).

I wish the shit authors would either post more spams or theyd stop having so many fucking crews to protect their sorry movies. I mean damn, Im in the KITTY KREW for gods sake and no offense to my brethren, but I at least TRY to make my submissions semi-entertaining, I cant stand even when my own crew submits 2 looped frame garbage.

I see this a lot with many of these spam groups. There are always a few people in the group who can make decent flash (If they all can only some choose to submit good stuff) while the rest submit garbage. It has been like this with the SS, BB, and also the CC (yes even the clock crew has submitted some spam flash movires) The problem is that even thougth you know it is spam the standards for th portal have went far too low. Now it seems anything get protected due to "Most" statwhores who vote 2-5 for the protect point.

Like you I also remember when the portal had higher standards and if it was back in 2005 a lot of this stuff would have been blammed But ever since they changed the portal checkpoints everything went to bad to worse.But what can we do other then vote the way we feel about a flash and move on?

On a side note how was even one's evening?

You're a Kitty, you know it's not CRMV! Only the Clock Crew ever has enough members on at one time to affect the total score by .2 or more, if what some of the KK tells me is true. The other spam crews rely on protect whores to pass their shitty movies.

I miss the old school days when only extremely good (by todays standards of ng flicks) ones were passed and even the mediocre stuff was blammed back to the stone age.

Maybe some of the mediocre stuff shouldn't just be blammed on contact, much of it is from young artists with little talent who actually tried... But the obvious spam, which is what should be blammed, is passed, due to little 11-year-old idiots running around and getting saves, and allowing spammers to take up server space and bandwidth with 8MB single-frame movies. They are traitors to Newgrounds, more so than any spammer, and almost as much as the Flash thieves.

You and Kottbullar, and sometimes 50vmp (though he can get pretty lazy at times), try. But the rest of the KK, no offense, have either succumbed to an extreme case of lazyitis, or like LordZeebmork just want to abuse and exploit NG... And as far as them being either non-spammers or crew-protected, look at Fleek, he's got no crew behind him, and he always gets passed! So it's not that there's less spam, it's that people are too lenient of it.

The things that don't get through the portal don't get through because people don't actually put any effort into the flashes that get blammed because they know that some idiotic retard votes 5. :'(

Sorry I haven't been around, I've been playing my Orange Box since I got it Friday, and since I'm going away on Tuesday, I felt that I should get some hours into it.

Beat Portal; great game, albeit short, but great none the less. Would have liked to see it be a little harder, but I'm not complaining. Also, great ending.

It's not stolen. It's just a single frame, by some idiot trying to get himself noticed so that people can join his poorly-thought-out hate group. That same moron PMed me earlier about joining his group. He did not get a response. He will not get a response.

You notice how, if you right-click it, there are no buttons for next/previous frames?

It's because there ain't none. One-frame, with non-visible elements to beef up file size.

It passed? It motherfucking passed?

Ah, ha, no way in hell. Leave this one to me, gents---it's mine.

there should be something like "acting like other author to get high votes" on the 'BLOW system'

maybe like

This movie is stolen.
This movie is malicious (e.g. auto-spawns pop-up windows).
This movie is unsuitable (e.g. hardcore adult, porn slideshow, hateful, illegal).
This movie is spam (e.g. single frame, white screen, one image flash).
This author is acting like someone else.

I understand what you're saying here, and it makes sense to me, seeing as it's against the BBS rules to impersonate BBS regs, mods, or admins. It should logically follow that impersonating well-known flash authors in order to help your submission pass should be against the rules too.

Of course, once the flash has been viewed, in most cases it becomes fairly obvious that an impostor submission is not by the author that is being impersonated. Heck, even clicking the link to their profile will solve it for you, but some people are obviously too lazy to bother with that, because these flashes PASS, which shows that people are voting high on them regardless.

So much shit is passing lately that shouldn't be, and all because it's become common practice to just vote 2-5 on submissions by spam authors, just to get the point. I look at various profiles and I see '07 users with 5,000+ saves and less than 1,000 blams. I find myself only getting around 10 blams out of every 30 submissions I vote to blam, and getting nigh on 100% of the saves from the submissions I vote 2-5 on.

The sad fact is that nothing can really be done about this unless everybody changes their voting habits, which unfortunately I don't see happening anytime soon.

I'd say Portal was better than Half-Life 2 in a way. It was toally original and I'm suprised no one had made it before because it's so simple. It madea great chain of flashes aswell.

This movie is spam (e.g. single frame, white screen, one image flash).

There's more kinds of spam than just that. There's stolen movie clips with faces of the author's character and others Photoshopped over the characters in the movies, there's anything with square waves, there's misleading titles (fake hentai "games" and such), there's mislabeling a submission as Adult when there is little or no adult content other than the name... The list goes on and on.

This author is acting like someone else.

Again, there's varying degrees. Would the old caps i/lowercase L trick count (for example, Aivin-Earthworm or Krinkeis, with the i's capitalized in the right places to make them look like Alvin-Earthworm and Krinkels)? Or how about a while back, when someone signed up as "krinkils"? And there's another interesting story along these lines, starring an enemy of mine who stole an account that had apparently belonged to ZONE-SAMA or something and used it to submit a fake hentai Flash under the name of the Zone Archive. Would that count as "impersonating a popular author"?
