The EGB has a policy that you should vote on a flash based on what YOU think it deserves, regardless of whether it will pass or be saved. We don't vote just for points here.

Read the EGB manifesto for more information.

I do im sorry i dont remember the game you mentioned, but alot of games are stolen. So thats why i thought it may have been. I dont like to accuse people of stealing, so its your game fair enough. By the way another review and i have 700 reviews!. I cant belive that. Well i got a couple of blams as somebody, i think its underdog this week was spamming. Hn how to get turd of the week they got blammed.

I made a drastic decision today: from now on, I'll log everyday on NG Log, instead of doing it weekly. This should give me even more motivation to B/P.

Anyone else logs daily there?

You should see some of his responses to reviews he doesn't like. They're very funny, check them out any day.

It's not any user's fault for suspecting theft, add your website to the NG's list of ranked websites that are owned by users, so that people may be less suspicious.
(Displaying an e-mail contacting option of MSN or just the plain e-mail from archgames.net may help people too.

Add it through "My Account", "General information", "Web URL". Also. Nice game.

For a while I was doing 100 B/P a day average and even more, got the the Hall of fame once too...but now things are just more busy. Oh well, still.

I stayed away from this club because of my garbage whistle that I thought would be impossible to get out of because of some stupid marking when I first started marking reviews, but after finding about 5 pages yesterday of abusive reviews I have seemed to make my way out of garbage and into normal. I was wondering if I could be considered for becoming a member to this club?

Greetings, Sgt. Major. While you are waiting for our recruitment officer,Slashfirestorm, to come along and start the recruitment process, you should give the following material a thorough read-through:

Barracks FAQ

EGB Manifesto

Also, if you need to know who the people in charge are around here, have a look at our list of
officers .

Once Slash comes along, he'll explain the recruitment process to you and get things started.

Alright, I gave all of those a look over and I'm in the process of saving all of the links.

Sounds good, do I have to refer as people ranked higher then me as sir or anything of the sort?

Just in case.

Well i log on Newground Log every day i think ,i logged about 140 times now. I love it its a wicked concept Casualty, came up with. Reviews now 700!, i written 83 in about two months. I only had 3 audios reviews before that. I wanted to be on the top 100 review, list but they seem to have gone quiet lately. My sound mixed now my b/p rate, crap. I love to be higher im just lazy when come to doing that.

I also log everyday. I even sometimes log several times a day just to see if I moved up in any rankings.

Reviews now 700!, i written 83 in about two months.

Congratulations. I've decided not to do any flash reviews until my audio reviews catch up. The only flash reviews that I do come through the review request club or if I see something I really want to review.

I didn't have any audio reviews a couple of months ago. Then suddenly I wrote about 40 in one day and just kept writing them. I'm not good at writing audio reviews, but that's probably because I don't really know too much about music itself.

LOL. I log my stats each day, and just log them again 2 or 3 times over the course of the day to see how I'm doing. I'm not quite as avid as you, but NG Log is a very useful tool.

Meh if I had the time I could average that or more a day.

But who has the time these days? I barely even have the time to get 50 B/Ps per day anymore. I look at all these people getting 100+ B/P per day and wonder how long they spend at their computers each day, with the curtains closed to keep out the sunlight... slowly getting rickets.

Not to belittle their achievements through my bitterness, of course.

If you want. If you get into the barracks, the only people you really have to listen to are the officers.At 7/10/08

Try not to post in here loads until we come to a decision on your recruitment. Seeing as we're judging you, it's best that you don't make too much conversation with us for the time being, so that we can discuss you from an unbiased point of view.

Welcome to the Barracks! Glad to hear that you fixed your whistle and would like to join us. I'm the Barracks Recruitment Officer, Supreme Commander Slash Firestorm. It's my job to examine new prospective recruits and see if they've got what it takes to join the EGB.

Let me explain how the recruitment process works.

Currently you are in "Standby Status" while your case is considered. During this process, me and the other Barracks members will take a look at your record---posting quality, review history/quality, flash record, etc---and see if there are any problems.

Don't worry, we're not too strict about these things; we just want to make sure that you have a decent posting record (not too many one-liners and no flaming/spamming), don't make abusive reviews or rulebreaking flash, etc..

After a period of discussion amongst the Barracks members, I (or my superiors) will make the final call. Assuming that no objections are raised, this Standby Status should only last approximately 24 hours. I will PM you with the final verdict.

All EGB members can go to the appropriate thread and give any questions, comments, or complaints about this new recruit (must be signed in to view/post/vote). If there are no outstanding issues after 24 hours, I'll make my decision. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

My computer is finally fixed!

Feels great because now I can continue B/Ping and finishing up my 3 Second Collab!

Some of you guys need to check into the EGB forums a bit more. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one posting over there... gets a bit lonely ;_;

Do you want to make me lonely?

I'd rather this thread be active then the forum.

I've made forum for threads on NG's and hell they suck up activity and eventually the NG's thread dies :(

There's no reason that both can't be active at the same time, other then laziness. I post in both simultaneously all the time, just have it open in a different tab.

Perhaps I'm asking too much.

Active at the same time? Unless the forum allows you to spam then no one is going to go through the trouble of making a post that they would post in this thread.

Not really. You're asking for activity from both the forum and thread and I did the same with the Playstation Empire and now that thread is inactive like hell but now it's starting to pick up.

LOL. You're completely misunderstanding me, dude. I'm not saying I want people to post the same stuff that they'd normally post here, I'm saying that I'd like them to go and chat a bit more over in our forums about OTHER stuff, as there are already a bunch of threads over there that people wouldn't (or normally don't) discuss the content of here.

It would be pretty pointless to have this thread, and then an independent forum that serves exactly the same purpose. Our forums are more like the EGB version of the general forums on NG, for example, but split up into sub-sections. The reason that people don't post over there isn't because they say everything they need to in this thread, it's due to laziness, or forgetfulness, or lack of interest.

I think the main reason is people would rather post here/The BBS is because they would +1 in their post count.

The EGB is hosted on InvisionFree which is easy to hack. If someone were to get 1000 posts on a forum hosted by IF and then some guy hacks it then ALL those posts are useless and probably lost. On NG's, it's most likely not to get hacked any time soon. People would prefer to post in a not so hackable place then an IF forum.

Regardless of the hacking. The EGB began with this thread. I believe that the forum should be reserved for all conversation not relevant to the EGB, Portal, or one that should be kept secret. Everything else SHOULD be on the thread, because this is where we started, this is where we recruit and this is where we rule...kinda.

If that's true, than I've just lost what little faith I have in NG people. People who think that post count actually matters are complete morons.

Who gives a shit about post count? The point is to enhance the community. Right now in the EGB barely anybody seems to know each other, which in of itself reduces inactivity, because less people have something to say to others.

Doesn't matter anyway, I know I'm fighting a losing battle here.

That sucks your going to miss clock day but I'll bet you'll have a blast in Alaska especially if you like outdoors type stuff. I grew up in Anchorage and Wasilla, some of my best times were spent up there. Anyway I can deposit for you if you still need someone.
