Liaisons (hard word to spell). Alright, first of all, we need to find out who is in the NGDD (I know many members here are or were). To prevent EGB cluttering, I've made a thread at our forums for NGDD members to announce themselves and list any duties they have there. Anyone who feels themselves active enough and knowledgeable should mention that along with their post, as well.

Well... I'm the NGDD General. I am one of the three administrators of the NGDD. I am also the BBS Department leader and handle the probation's for it. I also am one of the users who handles the NDGG Member list. I sort of lost activity there and here due to my collab and untimely events in the collab process. I am currently trying to fix those problem but new ones rise every day and slow me down.

Sir thanks for the news post SlashFirestorm ,the job of Portal Violations Officer. If UnfathomableSin does not come back, would be an area i would love to do. Although i cant use AIm or PalTalk. I dont know if i'm active enough, to qualify for the job. Plus hes still in that department. Im part of NGDD should i add EGB ,in my sig?. As alot of users have done salutes!.

Hey guys. Im not really that active of a member around here as i used to be mainly because of the fact that i have a job that sucks the life out of me for 4 days and when i get days off they go by so fast i dont really have time for much of anything. But i guess i cant be around for ranking up for sometime now but i can be around for posting and reading what everybody has to say.

Sir stolen flash http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/45 6761 from here http://www.addictinggames.com/amberial.h tml. Got Armor games address on it.!

The second one here http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/45 6762 here the proper one http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/43 3068. I could not get the stolen one to load up.

Whistled 'em both. First one's already flagged, need more whistles on the second.

Sadly it passed, I suppose you can only PM Wade now, no other option now.
I did manage to flag a submission today, I hope it will be cleared and I'm not screwed.

Well, I was a bit lazy to include the rest.
Anyway, welcome to the EGB, Marsupial. Make sure to be here as often as you can, and to respect the "little condition" that Slash gave to you.

Anyway, on my side, I don't really know what else to say, besides that I have B/Ped quite alot since I'm back here. I also looked for my Whistle improvement, and after many "Gold Mines" I found out yesterday, I finally got that Gold Whistle! Now maybe I'll go a bit easier on this, before a long way to do to reach the final Deity Whistle.

And about life around, I had to fix some things, which explains why I didn't posted here in the EGB since a few days. Also, after so much wait, today was finally the first day for me at the college... and... my... this is really different from what I expected to see... Yea, quite alot nicer in fact.

Well... this is what I had to say. I wasn't able to follow much of the discussions around.

So how was your trip up there? If you're not an out doors kind of guy you probably hated it. But that is where I am originally from so I do miss it. Still have friends up there too but haven't been back since '04. Where did you visit? Did you like it? Anyway I am jealous that you got to go and not me.

So for anyone who cares I was promoted in real life to the rank of staff sergeant in the Air Force. Or more accurately I have a line number for staff sergeant. It was my first time testing for it too. It kind of sucked that my buddy only missed it by 6 points though. But I promised to treat him real good when I'm his supervisor! Lol!

We were on a cruise ship for a week starting at Anchorage, made visits to Juneau,
Ketchikan, and Skagway

I'm just not active as I used to to be back in the days. All I really can do it get around 20 B/P, review mod, and lurk the forums for 5 minutes. Life and school has taken over. :(

You guys all suck.

Not sure yet. I know I'm gone to Germany all September, and will therefore be internet-free.

I might though. I've been looking at my old stomping grounds to see if it's changed too much to return (or if everyone is a fag nowadays...)

Everyone is a fag now, even Slash and Phantom, and especially Casualty. Eagle might be one, but he hasn't been around too much for me to tell. My Fagdar never fails me.

From what I remember, you were the faggiest of them all. Thats right. I made up a new word.

I kid.

But what I was leaning towards re:faggyness was the quality of the BBS. It's always been a cesspool, but sometimes not even chlorine can fix it...

It's about the same as I remember it. I expected more 10 year olds.

Anyways, reference BP, I've started to watch movies again. It won't restore my faith in humanity, but at least theres nothing left in my mind which can be corrupted...

I'll wait until Sentio posts before deciding what to do.

In my opinion, the option I left up there is what I think we should do. No offense to Sentio; he's been a great member of the EGB for a long time now, being extremely helpful. But I don't like giving power to 1 person; with the amount of inactivity going on with the older members, having a counsel that could bare the loss of a member or 2 seems like the better choice. And even if the members are just gone for a week, the EGB won't be freaking out because that single person wasn't there.

But I'll leave it up to Sentio and you to decide.

Seems I have been summoned... :)

I'd agree with both of you on this, the role has never been especially well defined and I can't say in the time that I have filled it I have done a great deal as a 'Relations Officer', rather I've used the role as a means of gaining some say within the Barracks and being able to help with recruitment and key decisions within here. Certainly I've been active and helped sort out some messes in here during periods when many of the other senior members have been absent, and I'd like to be able to continue doing this should I be around during a problem period. I'm not going to be more active any time soon saying that, but as you so kindly say, I have been her a long time and know how the place runs as well as anyone.

So I would completely agree with the 'tribunal' idea- it gives all of the senior members some say in decisions and doesn't mean they have to remain active all the time to maintain their positions (and I don't think there are any older members that can say they have been active constantly throughout their time here). Of course I'd love to be a part of this still, reduced activity isn't no activity, and I still feel a sense of responsibility for the smooth running of the club.

I won't be on much in the next week (my girlfriend is visiting at the moment so I'm, err... busy), but after that I'll be around a bit more. Still looking for a job so who knows how that will impact my free time...

:::salutes:::

Hey, I have a question for you guys, (and gals if there are any). I have had plans for years now to join the military, and now I am finally old enough to do that. I am planning on starting in the national guard.....

But the thing is, I can't decide what branch in the military; I was leaning toward the army, but my father was in the army and he said the best idea would be to join the Air Force...

Well, honestly, I don't know exactly what to do.... I know I eventually want to join the FBI, but I just don't know if I really want to go to the military; I know it would look good on my resume, but... is it worth the risk?

Your opinions would be helpful.

Well done on getting Commander NEVR, and thanks for the roster Joshiwa. Also well done on getting an award for your, latest flash collab with Yoshi777777. Thats be a thrill to win a trophy. I very much like to go up to Sergent, but at my b/p rate its not very likely to happen soon. Getting lazy writing reviews, need some wake me up time. I love doing revies audios are the worst, i find my brain gets stuck. How to review them help! any thoughts?. Have you noticed that its AntiClock day?.

I draw ever closer, especially with a total of 60 last week, one of my higher scores. Unfortunately, I'll be losing NG time, as school approaches and the summer homework I left for the last minute will be taking up my time. But it's due on the 8th, so I've got some time to dick around. Hopefully that dicking will get me past Heaven in the rankings. I'll be happy then.

Air Force, no offense to any current/past members, is for the pussies. In all reality, only a small portion of Air Force members actually fly planes; most of it is ground crews, maintenance, tower and various other things.

Let's put it this way; I took a tour of McGuire Air Force Base, which hosts roughly 140,000 people (8,000 civilians, and 84,000 Reserve/Guard), and out of the 140,000 people, there were roughly 20 pilots. Granted, this isn't a war zone, but that's only .0001% of the total base, and only .004% of the active duty stationed there. The numbers can't be that much better in the Middle East. Which means if you want a high chance of survival, join the AF

Well, honestly, I don't know exactly what to do.... I know I eventually want to join the FBI, but I just don't know if I really want to go to the military; I know it would look good on my resume, but... is it worth the risk?

If I were you, I'd learn a few languages first, then just go for the FBI. I'm sure that a couple years in the service would look nice, but they want people who know languages, not how to shoot. It's easier to teach you how to shoot than a new language.

Look into some of the more obscure languages of the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. At the National Youth Leadership Conference, a few retired and current generals and such talked about it. I forget the languages they said, but I never heard of them before.

Well, If I were to join the AF, I would rather guard air bases than actually fly. They have a branch in the AF exactly like the MPs in the Army.

Well, I already know Spanish, and a little Vietnamese, and I talked to a State officer, he said a good idea for the FBI would be sociology or psychology; along with English classes. But I really want to learn Arabic

I will, thanks for the advice =)
