Hey, I'll be leveling up to Private in the next few weeks, and I was just wondering, if I don't have at least a normal whistle, will I not be accepted into the EGB?

A normal whistle or higher is required to be an official member of the Barracks. You can still hang around if you have a broken whistle, but until it's fixed, it's sort of a provisional acceptance.

Aha, statwhore. J/k, we're all statwhores, but never in all my time on NG have I ever gotten more than 50 B/P in a day (with the exception of Clock Day, which I dread). I'm just aiming to get to level 20 or higher by the end of this year and hit 1k reviews, which I'm slowly working on. I'm also aiming to get to 1000 blams some time in the near future.

I have a long road ahead of me, don't I?

Wish me a happy birthday, soldiers, because today is my 3rd NG birthday. No need for cake, save it for my actual birthday later in the year ;P

Seems like I've been on NG for much longer than 3 years though...

It's one of those paradoxical times where on one hand it seems like it was only last week... but on the other hand (and especially when you think that my 2 year NG birthday was before the redesign was even launched) it seems a LONG time ago...

Here's to the start of my fourth year on NG ;P

Is it a good thing that it seems longer? Or a bad thing? I was contemplating this the other day, and I didn't manage to come to a conclusion, because for me, like I said earlier, it definitely seems like it's been much longer than 3 years.

ponders:::

So I sat here fro a few minutes thinking about that myself and I came to a conclusion that it really wasn't a bad thing but more of a NG maturity. Something to the affect that when you first get here you are overwhelmed by everything but then as you lurk you learn more and more. If you stay here long enough you become a regular and get use to the inner workings, so as in me saying it felt longer it really wasn't saying that its been a bad experience, its just the fact I have gotten so use to everything it just seems that I have been here longer.

Yeah, I'm prepared. I have my water, my bucket, and a bunch of junk food stocked up for it. Now all I got to do is clear being out of school that day with my parents and I'll be all set.

Also, I know someone already said this, but Clock Day is ALWAYS going to be on the fifteenth of August. I burned that into my brain by repeating it about fifty-kajillion times.

Oh, you're complaining about that? =P

Well, at least you can post on something portable. I wish I had a portable thing I could use NG on, then I wouldn't need to turn on the PC late on the night, for example.

Also, why can't you watch Flash on it? No Flash plugin?

I have my strategy, but I don't know if the EGB has a specific one (I wasn't around here last year's Clock Day). Mine is something like this:

0. (yeah, z-e-r-o) Sleep A LOT the day before (14th) until 11:30 PM, then the party starts;
1. Open Portal Guard and set the time to 10 seconds;
2. Watch the Flash until you get a notion of what will it be, then vote. Seriously, they won't stop coming, so you won't have time to watch all of them. And yeah, you can blame me for that, but it's necessary to try to stop the mass-voting;
3. If you catch anyone using tons of multiple accounts, write it down somewhere. I think someone here will PM wade with a list of spammers.
4. Drink coffee, it's gonna be a looong day.

Also, Clock Day this year will be on a Friday, so stay as late as you can, because it isn't like, August 16th and it's over. It keeps going on after a while.

Well, technically it can't be blamed on the actual CC, because a lot of other people make a Clock flash, but aren't really part of the Crew. Mainly because it's easy (can be done with no lip/eye animation, speakonia voices), and it'll get some 2's by those who are fans of the Clock Crew.

The KK, on the other hand, started out an average club, turned to spam, tried to clean up their image, then died.

4. Drink coffee, it's gonna be a looong day.

Yeah, but you'll crash with a couple of hours after drinking it. But you can always drink another one.

Hey it's been awhile since I've posted here so I thought I'd drop in and say hello to you all. I'm doing good finally got some leave from work. Me and the wife are taking a road trip down to Florida to go to Busch Gardens and Disney World for a couple of days. Thank god I finally got some time off! Work has been hell lately and I really needed the time off. Seems like the only time I'm posting is when I get time off too. Hope all of you are doing well.

A big congratz to Coop on passing DoD! I'm sure he's not gonna like that very much! It's funny how obsessed DoD is about his computer stats. Kinda sad that he places so much importance on something so...unimportant(being polite) to the point of being arrogant. Anyways congratz and have fun rubbing it in his face when he comes back.

Sentio I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I know how hard it can be myself having lost my mother a few years back and then my aunt a few months ago. The important thing is to be there for your family. Newgrounds will be here, it should be a place to enjoy...not a habit. You also graduated too! That's awesome. Weren't you studying biology? That's what my dad does. Good luck on your future endeavors, hang in there.

I was going to say something else to someone but now I don't remember who or what...oh well.

Still keeping my b/p pace going strong. Also got level 31 the other night and 10xp the next! I like my meat cleaver! The first level in awhile that I truly like looking at.

Clock Day. Just the name of that event makes me shudder. Never has there been a day of such insane spamming.

Last year I was intending to do the 24-hour run, like I did in 2006, but the sheer level of utter, utter shit passing made me lose any desire to sacrifice my mental sanity and I quit about halfway through. Clock Day is a day when one frame shit passes, and not just from popular/prolific authors...but fucking anyone. Bah.

I'm not sure if I'll bother participating this year (I highly doubt I'll submit this time around), but if I do, I'm not protect whoring. I'll use my +1 URL method to watch and fairly vote on every single flash, and that will almost certain involve me zero'ing the vast majority of it. Not like I need to be generous for the points, I'm a Supreme Commander.

Hey all, just an apology for not being here for so long, but now that I have EVERYTHING in order and I can start actually reviewing and everything again, I'll also have more time to do my duties and Liason to the Elite Guard Barracks. You all can expect a new report, full of spirit for this upcoming Friday evening. I'm sure I'll have plenty to say!

Glad to hear everything is going better for you now. I've been in a similar situation, where RL circumstances have hindered my NG activity, but thankful to say that I managed to get back to normal last week, which is nice.

You all can expect a new report, full of spirit for this upcoming Friday evening. I'm sure I'll have plenty to say!

I look forward to reading it. Come September, I'll know for sure whether I'll be able to join the NGDD or not. It all depends on how much time I have left over when I'm at university. Hopefully I should be able to join and give you guys a bit of a boost ;)
