Well, seems like the shape trend is calming down. The past two days were pretty crazy with the spin-offs. I got 72 B/P on Saturday, and 38 of them were Blams. Good to see that not everything passed, like in Clock Day. =)

What has been bothering me here a little are the abusive Flashes. I've stumbled across some of them. I always post in the abusive stuff thread, and most of the times here as well. But still, some of them are passing. Dammit.

Also, this week I'm aiming for a 50+ B/P pace. Yesterday I got 54 B/P, I hope I can keep this up until next Sunday.

Hey there! Just wait until our 2IC SlashFirestorm shows up so the recruitment process begins.

My opinion is that he "forces" his jokes. They aren't original jokes, so he tries to find a way to make them sound funnier. Hell, most of his Flashes are overrated, in my opinion.

They are funny, indeed. Although most of them are overrated. Hopefully this trend will end soon enough.

I usually aim for forty in a day although lately due to school work I've been struggling to meet this target. However, I sense that things are starting to get more relaxed again. Also my weekend total B/P was a pleasing 183. I seriously didn't leave the portal yesterday until I had 100 B/P in 24 hours.

I suppose that's the side effect of not having anything to do on a Sunday. A shame that I've got shit to do, really. In fact, I'm really going to lament the Portal's lack of presence on Saturday, as I travel to and from London for the Newgrounds Meet.

Any Barracks members joining me?

Yeah, I know when school interferes in Newgrounds. I'm still on vacation (southern hemisphere, summer etc...), I will only get back to school in February 2nd, and until then, my pace shall be great. And I believe I never got more than 100 B/P in a single day, my record is 91, I believe.

I wish I could, but it's pretty obvious why I won't go. Hell, I really want to go on one of these meet-ups.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2009-01-12 23:06:57


No but a Newgrounds meet up you mean you meet Newgrounders in the flesh? how surreal is that. Sounds very cool though I have not heard of it before. So what members have you met before?. I have got 13 b/p points today a total of 1 blam, and 13 saves very good. Been looking at the portal and doing loads of links. People asking why it got front page etc, Its great you have got time Sir-Nuts to get so many b/p per day. I guess you must sit by the computer all day right?. The badges look so cool but I will not get them at my slow rate. Coop83 the meet up again sounds cool. I'm going to report a flash which passed vile and NSFW stuff.


Archer I'm a good shot!

So, I was promoted today from Private to Private First Class and also I got 3,000 B/P Points at the same moment. What's with the voting difficulty today? I know majority of you experienced that today.

Slightly surreal, but since pics of the users who are going to show at this meet are appearing on the internet, so it's not all bad news. I feel like I've already met some of them in the flesh, so it's all good.

Sounds very cool though I have not heard of it before. So what members have you met before?.

No major celebrities yet - I've met Dangan and EnglishPhantom so far, but EP doesn't count, as he's my brother. I'll be meeting up with BBM, Dangan and a few rowdy English folks on Saturday morning and acting like chavs with them on the bank of the Thames before meeting up with the Admins and heading to Namco. Should be a good day.

Sorry for the delay...

Welcome to the Barracks! 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 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.

Barracks members can go to the appropriate thread for discussion and voting. Remember that you must be signed in to view/post, and speak now or forever hold your peace.

Hello Phobotech not enough b/p as Sir-Nuts said almost there though. So your brother is on Newgrounds? I found his account here http://englishphantom.newgrounds.com/ Does not look like he has been active since 2007, does he come on here anymore?. So BBM? that's BananaBreadMuffin right?. I was on Newgrounds Log, and I saw who last logged there stats funny, seeing Malachy without his gold aura. I know it sounds sad but I love the picture of when you see how far you are to your next level. At the moment I'm around 11.475% so I can only see a vague image of level 29 still exciting though. The vile flash got blammed anyway knew though it would salutes!


Archer I'm a good shot!

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2009-01-13 22:49:05


Phobotech, why don't you ask to join on the NGPD - Newgrounds Police Dept.
they are a B/P club for user with the police rank, from 400-2499 B/P points
and when you get to private, you can ask again here
consider it as a training before joining the barrack

good luck

Well, for the record, there has never been, is not, nor will ever be an edit post button on the NGBBS. This feature would lead to far too much abuse for the moderators to cope with, so it was decided that there should not be one.

As a result, reading what you are posting prior to pressing the post it button is a must.

My fucking sound gone again no voting for me till it decides to come back, nice of it to decide to stop working sarcasm here. Looking at latest Turd Of The Week I was annoyed to see it had be won by The Food Face Force

They submitted some hateful stuff wonder if it will stay there? LordZeebMork alt got underdog wonder but for how long? it remains so is anyone guess. Last weeks underdog got deleted. It sucks when authors steal awards even for TOTW it should be won fairly. I agree about not having a edit button you should double check your posts before posting. Imagine the abuse it would get if such a feature was on Newgrounds. Anyway I can now see a faint picture of Staff Sergent now.

Well, despite the fact my local ISP had router issues the past few days, I have managed to squeak out some more blams and whistles. A lot of crap still seems to be sliding through, and some of it is downright wrong. There is one account, "kanamomashouse", that seems to take delight in racial slurs and posting negatively racial flashes. I know we can keep blamming and whistling him(?), but where does Newgrounds draw the line between free speech and racism? I think it's probably some young idiot attention whore, but his wise-ass attitude could get him in a lot of trouble IRL.

That's just my opinion. I will continue on fighting the good fight. Oh, and a positive note: I just made field promotion to "Colonel", so now my voting power is 8.8.! Just what I needed - a bigger hammer!

Time to get back into the trenches!

Slash won't mind me saying this on his behalf. Despite your OK presence in the NGDD, an overwhelming majority feels you are not yet ready for the EGB.

We strongly suggest you start raising your blam count, so that it doesn't appear you only save movies regardless of their score, improve your reviews by looking at how the members or other good role models do it. The same applies to your posts. one line posts are just a bad impression on the more intelligent amongst Newgrounds societies.

In short, no, not yet.

Interesting today went to dentist had no fillings funny, I was watching a film on YouTube called The Dentist! and before that IT good film IT was. Yes the FFF are getting annoying spam and racist flash maybe alt of someone. I have blammed . Also those silly Cyberen flashes keep passing. Has illwillpress lost some of his fans? only his last one got 4,000 views lots, but not as much as I would of thought he would get.

Latest one made me giggle love the jokes. Still not got a email telling me that my favorites artists have released there latest flashes.

Major Nuts reporting in!

LOL, Major Nuts...

Today the Portal isn't doing great, with a total of zero under judgement submission right now. Heh, it's been the save over the past few days, but it's the first time I've seen the Portal with no UJ submissions in a pretty long time. This might screw up my goal, which is to get 50+ B/P this week. Hopefully the Portal will catch-up later today.

Also, the spam crews are still attacking the Portal and making their shit pass. But we have gone through this topic numerous times. If you have time, have a read through this post.

And yesterday, I flagged three flashes, all of them got pulled instantly. =)

Yeah it's going pretty damn slow I managed to get 38 yesterday thought which is more or less on my target of 40 a day plus my 183 on the weekend are compensating alot.

I think it's a mix of the two, the only thing we can do is give them the zero. I hope Wade goes on a bit of a deleting spree with those Food Face Force ones soon.

What I only realized lately was that actually your vote does make quite a difference, when you have a voting power of 5 that makes 1/20 of the decision for the first threshhold yours. Which is quite alot when you think about it.

And yesterday, I flagged three flashes, all of them got pulled instantly. =)

Same here, I'd probably be there if it hadn't been for people making accounts just to make abusive reviews for whistle points.

Also I just wanted to tell you that I'm overjoyed to know that despite being crap at maths and physics my school report is going to be sufficient! Which is great news because that makes this means I'm not standing with my back against the wall for the rest of the school year :D

On a less positive note I have to get up really early tomorrow just to get my damn absence book thingy done (normally I'd have to be at school at 9:30, because of this it'll be 7:15) :(

Talking about B/P, today I got 11 points so far. Yeah, I haven't been active at all today. Lately I have been getting more blams than saves, which is great :D (hence the evil aura). My P/B ratio is slowly going down :)

Luckily all that shape spam has stopped, it was really annoying. It's OK if you find some of them funny, but almost all of them were just crap.

I can say the same for myself, according to nglog about 6 months ago it said i would average about 2,000 blams per year and now it is up to 4,400. I would say this is much better, but most of the flashes i blam seem to pass with 1.75 or less that gets on my nerves after awhile.
