seems like it would be fun to get young, aspiring stat whores that we can teach the proper way of doing it.
That's a good point - I'm sure there's still a lot of kids out there who just vote for points rather than voting how they SHOULD be voting (i.e., the way they feel about the submission).
As for the roster ideas, we can cross that bridge when we get to it, I'm sure we could figure something out.
I've got a few ideas, but it doesn't matter for now, as everything fits in comfortably as it is. It would be a bit stupid to have to change the roster again so soon after doing the expansion.

First of all, can anyone explain me what's the purpose of the NG Mafia. I read some pages but I couldn't really get their point.
No idea. I was hoping that somebody else might be able to explain it to me. I just saw that there was a vacant officer position and thought I'd mention it, to see if we could get anybody who would do well in that position.
Whatever, I like reading your posts. They're always worth reading, even when they are a small one-liner (which doesn't happen very often, anyway).
Meh, I sometimes write one-liners. I wish to dispel the myth that you should ALWAYS write massive posts. Sure, it's better to write more if you can, but in some situations, it's really not necessary to write more than a few lines - for example, when answering a simple question in the Wi/Ht forums.
I noticed your "semi-absence", as you called it. Even though, your posting count here is still higher than some users.
Well, that's not particularly surprising considering we have some users who haven't posted in here for weeks, or even months in some cases ;P
I've seen some members that have a good posting quality and are acceptable here in terms of stats. I even thought of asking them to join here, but I didn't want to look like a dumbass promoting us via PM. I know, Slash once mentioned it that the maximum we could get was "a fuck you and a PM blocking" but, still, I don't think I have courage to do so.
You can always PM me their usernames if you find any potentially suitable people, and I'll let you know what I think of them, and possibly even drop them a PM if I feel they'd be a good addition. Still, there's no reason to worry about PMing someone about joining a club or something (especially a well-established club such as this one). I occasionally receive PMs asking me to join clubs or outside websites/forums, but I just ignore them if I'm not interested. No point wasting energy yelling at someone via PM.
A good way to kick things off if you feel the need to PM someone about joining the EGB is simply to say something like this:
Hey,
I'm a member of the Elite Guard Barracks (EGB), a well established club based upon the protection of the Flash Portal here on Newgrounds. I noticed you fulfill/exceed (depending on user) the entry requirements, and simply wondered whether you'd be interested in joining. If you are, feel free to PM me for more info.
~NEVR
Sure it would be nice. It's always good when someone new comes. As for the Guardsmen... well, Tails posted here a few days ago, but where is he now? I'd like to see him posting here again.
That's kinda my point about the Guardsmen. As it is, I notice a lot of NGPD users feel like they want to stay in the NGPD - and even one or two EGB members still hang around in there more than they do here. There doesn't really seem to be a great level of interest, and I'm not sure if that's because we're seen as too formal in comparison to the PD, or simply that they're more like a lounge rather than a club dedicated to an ideal (no offense NGPD'ers, just an observation).

Haha, at my current pace, I won't be catching you for a very long time. I'm trying to get back into it, but we'll just have to see how it goes.

Hey guys! How is everyone?! Well I apologize in advance if I'm breaking any rules by posting here, but it is in regard to Phantomlassuk's last post.
There's no rule that says you can't post here, but I'd advise you not to frequent the EGB until you've fixed your whistle problem, etc. The odd post every now and again is OK, though.
I looked into this problem and contacted sevensize, a review and forum mod, and he is going to contact an admin to have the stolen submission removed.
SevenSeize is actually a woman, despite her changing her age and sex on her profile every few days ;P
