That's what we are here for. To brighten up your day even if its only marginally. :)

She's too busy typing up text to be on AIM chatting. Just now when I was trying to finish Chapter 2, I was getting bugged by Lizz "is it done yet" every 10 seconds. ;-)

Haha. Yeah. You know you love it though!

*Cracks whip*

Now get to work on chapter 3! :P

Enjoy!

I did do. Teehee!

Happy Halloween to you too my friend.

Hey guys, have you watched all those [oo halloween] flashes in the portal? Apparently the Owl Orchard is just attempting to flood the portal. Watch out for any possible rule-breaking flash.

Yeah I saw them. *Sigh* They seem to not be doing much harm, and the beginnings of them is very good, however they are all the same just with a few changes, which rules out them being malicious.

I think we should just let them pass. Besides....They have to run out of flashes SOME time XD

Also, sorry for being inactive for the last few days, it's just a matter of time until I get fully active again.

Ah no worries. As long as you bob in from time to time so we know you haven't been locked up in some prison somewhere stupid, like Taiwan for trying it on with a shemale.

We will be happy as long as you are safe :)

Yes I have seen them all its really annoying after the first one, they are all the same and they say about about something to do with Friday the 13th I guess I will keep an eye out on that date! Nice Halloween stuff in the portal don't know why Owl Orchid are flooding the portal though. Some of the names sound like former Kitty Krew members odd. The Weebl in my view is back to best. I'm getting a little tired of the Halloween theme though. However I don't think the OO are submitting anything breaking the rules yet.

Foamy voice of reason!

Pfft...bring it in. Whether it's 1 flash or 1,000 flash, they all get deleted the same. The Elite Guard will protect the Portal!

I know you people hate this, but it's worth doing. I'm raising the DEFCON level to DEFCON 2. Keep on the lookout throughout the night for more of these stupid flash, and be willing to be alert to protect all flash coming through the Portal!

Nothing to be scared about, Lizz. I, for one, don't give a crap that owls may be a protected species. If these Owls start shitting on the portal, they're all gonna die. Remember, Cobra has his tank, and if things go bad, well, I can just jump in time and...oh, on second thought, let's just stick with the tank!

I apologize for the posting of the abusive review. I in no way intended to go against any rules or regulations of the BBS or this club. I have been away from the forums for quite some time with the exception of my return to the NGSM. I have clearly missed a great deal of news in the time I was gone. I will be sure to review the current guidelines before any other mistakes are made on my behalf. I hope that I have not caused too much trouble. I would also like to thank you for not pursuing any disciplinary action.

On a side note, for those of you who do not remember, I have been a long standing member of this club. I would assume in my absence that my status here has fallen to the wayside. In the days of the Newgrounds Mafia I was a liaison to them for the Elite Guard Barracks. At this time I do not have the ability to be an active member, but in the near future I plan to return if I am still welcome. I will be sure to read up on past events and try to get up to speed before becoming active. Thank you all for your time.

Hey guys, sorry for not being more active, but with college and everything I have neither the time to B/P nor the motivation to post much. That being said I'm checking up on the Barracks daily to keep up with matters (and see if Eagle has posted the next chapter of BITB yet :P). Good to see all is quiet in the Portal...oh wait...

I reckon it's an empty threat to be honest, and even if they are planning a flood, there'll be enough people around to clean up, and if things got really bad, well there's always the admins with a shiny red button to fall back on.

Barracks Roster 1st November 2009
Welcome to the roster :)

Hello all, this is my 2nd roster and lets just say....This time it didn't take over 4 hours! Haha!

I think it was quite easy this time around, and I hope I didn't get anything wrong. I'm quite confident I didn't...But I still have doubts.

Anyway, as you will see, a few people have entered the list taking the amount of members from 32, up to 35.

"How does that work?!?! There was 32, and now there is 35....But FOUR members entered!"

Well Insanimation left remember? So 32 + 4 - 1 = 35. They entered the list because Slash kindly let them in due to them not replying to the roll call on time, but they did reply in the end....So I added them. 2 users (ever-vigilant and Zornkatzu), I could get the data of from my back-up roster....The other 2 (SupraAddict and Andrea364) however, I didn't. Mainly because it was 2am and I was tired at that point when I added you. I'm sorry, so therefore you are in the roster as *NEW*.

I hope you don't mind. Also, I would just like to add, if I may without straying TOO far off topic....I think you should all go and see the new film by Michael Jackson entitled, This is it. I went to see it today, and I thought it was great. It gave a real insight on how much preparation and how much of his heart he devoted to his music.

So, without further ado, I present to you, my 2nd roster. Again, I hope nothing is wrong, and please accept my apologies if it is.

Lizzardis - 2k Blams, 8k Saves, 10k B/P

It's been too long Eagle. What's going on? I feel like I've retired from the portal. Life took over for me. :(

I'm just doing what I am told. I was told to take off users after the roll call, and keep users. KidneyTheif was a user which I was told to keep. Would you like to be put back on the roster? You will have to be added as *NEW*, but you will be added.

Sweet. Did it again. WHOOHOO!! I'll be getting to the "assigned" reading shortly. Had to do a little catch up. Email, B/Ping, etc. Hmm, 796 for the whole month, not too bad. That comes out to an average of 25.67 B/P per day. Also, only 101 more B/P from my next rank. YIPPEEE!!

Top gainers, repeat offenders: Byteslinger (10), Coop83 (9), Lizzardis (3), SlntCobra1 (3), EagleRock (2)

Nice, 3rd time around. YAY ME!! I guess the only reason I didn't really get into B/Ping until about 7 months or so ago is because I used to think it would take forever before I could make any real difference in the portal. Was anyone else caught in that frame of mind when they first started?

Wait wait wait.....You were not even on the roster to start with. I have only just realised that.

If you want to join you have to ask for membership. I'm sorry for the confusion, I thought that you were on the roster before the roll call, according to SlashFirestorm's list....You were not.

I'm sorry.

Now now I'm sure that it hurt your poor little feelings that somebody made a similar thread to your cherished EGB, but I found the attitudes and actions of some of the members of this club in this thread bordering on getting themselves bans.

Not one of you offered a link to this thread or the NGDD as you so vehemently demanded of the OP to find himself.

As apparent by the OP's reaction to your posts, this is precisely why you shouldn't be twats in other threads. You really shouldn't even post a reply unless you are trying to be helpful and are at least offering a link to where you believe the user should have gone first.

It is not up to you to decide whether a thread in this forum continues or not. It is up to the moderators. Going into a thread to tell a user that his club doesn't belong and then arguing with him over the merits of having such a club is exactly what the intention of the backseat moderating rule is there to keep from happening. Just because you didn't specifically say "lock this" or "this should be locked" does not mean that you didn't do so in as many words with your posts.

Honestly, if this is the kind of elitist dickery that we have to deal with, perhaps the moderation team should reconsider the validity of these types of clubs. I don't know if it's taking in former NGPD members who got that club locked and a lower standard of member in here or a circle jerk culture of elitist attitudes towards the rest of the site, but if that is how you guys are going to act when a like-club topic is made, it's almost as bad as the squabbling between the anti-anime and anime clubs back in the day.

I'll let EagleRock decide on what to do with toiletpaper and porkchop.

Interesting choice of words to start a post. You take it as a fact that the comments made by one person associated with this club are shared by all. You also came to the conclusion that we would be offended by someone starting a club similar to ours.

I respectfully reply that you are incorrect on both assumptions.

Not one of you offered a link to this thread or the NGDD as you so vehemently demanded of the OP to find himself.

That is true, but then only a few members have had a chance to look. In fact, if it wasn't for your post bringing it to our attention, we probably wouldn't have known about it.

As apparent by the OP's reaction to your posts, this is precisely why you shouldn't be twats in other threads. You really shouldn't even post a reply unless you are trying to be helpful and are at least offering a link to where you believe the user should have gone first.

I read through those posts. So, there's a slight disagreement on whether this new club is redundant to the NGPD or the EGB - and that disagreement is voiced by only two people, of which one is a member of the EGB. It did not degrade into serious name calling, and although Porkchop may have been a little rough around the edges, there is no harm in his pointing out that other clubs exist, and this new one could be redundant.

It is not up to you to decide whether a thread in this forum continues or not. It is up to the moderators. Going into a thread to tell a user that his club doesn't belong and then arguing with him over the merits of having such a club is exactly what the intention of the backseat moderating rule is there to keep from happening. Just because you didn't specifically say "lock this" or "this should be locked" does not mean that you didn't do so in as many words with your posts.

What you are perceiving as back-seat modding seems to me to be just some misplaced advice. I seriously doubt Porkchop meant anything other than to point out the possible duplicity of this new club. You are correct in that it is up to the moderators to lock threads and make judgment calls on posts and forums - that is certainly your function. But in this case, I think it was more of a case of misplaced intentions. I know Porkchop, and I seriously doubt he meant to do anything but point out a few facts.

Honestly, if this is the kind of elitist dickery that we have to deal with, perhaps the moderation team should reconsider the validity of these types of clubs. I don't know if it's taking in former NGPD members who got that club locked and a lower standard of member in here or a circle jerk culture of elitist attitudes towards the rest of the site, but if that is how you guys are going to act when a like-club topic is made, it's almost as bad as the squabbling between the anti-anime and anime clubs back in the day.

Elitist dickery? Again, you are judging this crew based on the misinterpretation of one member. I will be the first to admit that we are far from perfect, and the age range of the members in this club goes from 14 to 30+ (and I'm on the high end). With this range, you will get a variety of responses, ranging from youthful exuberance to mature analysis. EagleRock and SlashFirestorm keep a close eye on those who bend or break the rules, and I have seen justice meted out when someone crosses the line. However, when these rare incidents do occur, they are usually handled by PM, e-mail and/or IM directly between the mods and EagleRock and/or SlashForestorm

I'll let EagleRock decide on what to do with toiletpaper and porkchop.

ToiletPaper is not part of the EGB. He drops in once in a while, but he is not a member here.

As for Porkchop, IMHO he's done nothing more serious than give misplaced advice, but yes, EagleRock will take it from here.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I am sure you will be hearing from EagleRoch shortly.

So Rock can decide about someone who isn't on the roster?

Someone's having a bad day, well it could've been worse...

Maybe I should make that same assumptions on mods perhaps?

As for Porkchop, IMHO he's done nothing more serious than give misplaced advice, but yes, EagleRock will take it from here.

Thank you Byte. This was the point I was trying to get across in my post before it was deleted for some strange reason.

I hope that now the EGB members will not turn into the NGPD. No not on the posting side, but mentally. The NGPD became scared of the mods because of one or two visits, that cause the chatting to stop and the thread to become almost one existent. Then they did one thing wrong and the whole thread got locked.

*Sigh*

Welcome to the roster :)

Hello all, this is my 2nd roster and lets just say....This time it didn't take over 4 hours! Haha!

I think it was quite easy this time around, and I hope I didn't get anything wrong. I'm quite confident I didn't...But I still have doubts.

Anyway, as you will see, a few people have entered the list taking the amount of members from 32, up to 35.

"How does that work?!?! There were 32, and now there are 35....But FOUR members entered!"

fixed. Sorry, the inner grammar nazi in me twitched.


Well Insanimation left remember? So 32 + 4 - 1 = 35. They entered the list because Slash kindly let them in due to them not replying to the roll call on time, but they did reply in the end....So I added them. 2 users (ever-vigilant and Zornkatzu), I could get the data of from my back-up roster....The other 2 (SupraAddict and Andrea364) however, I didn't. Mainly because it was 2am and I was tired at that point when I added you. I'm sorry, so therefore you are in the roster as *NEW*.

Oh boy gosh gee wilikers what is this place I'm so new here what do i do?! No but seriously, thanks for adding me back on, and when you get the chance, could you reactivate my barracks account? Thanks I appreciate it.


I hope you don't mind. Also, I would just like to add, if I may without straying TOO far off topic....I think you should all go and see the new film by Michael Jackson entitled, This is it. I went to see it today, and I thought it was great. It gave a real insight on how much preparation and how much of his heart he devoted to his music.

I saw the film, it wasn't too too bad. I wish I could have seen it to its fullest extent, but hey, whatta ya gonna do?

I'm sorry.

Well, speaking for the Barracks, we have no issues with anyone similar to our club. In fact, we embrace it, and have done so in the past. However, it is up to the moderators to decide what clubs stay or go. The NGPD, for example, was initially allowed as a similar club to the EGB, but many clubs such as the "Safety Patroller's Club" were locked because they were too similar to the EGB and NGPD. I have no issues at all with clubs as such, but I respect moderators' decisions as to what is suitable for Newgrounds.

Regarding the posts, I agree with you that they are less than helpful. However, let me be clear that at this point in time, neither of the two are currently Elite Guard Barracks members. ToiletPaper, as ByteSlinger noted, is not officially a Barracks member and is in reality just an occasional visitor. PorkChop, on the other hand, was an active member of the Barracks but recently resigned due to the inability to be online. As of now, he's not on the active roster as well. However, I will take whatever means necessary to ensure our integrity here is held true.

As apparent by the OP's reaction to your posts, this is precisely why you shouldn't be twats in other threads. You really shouldn't even post a reply unless you are trying to be helpful and are at least offering a link to where you believe the user should have gone first.

I agree. I'm not too happy that either of these people spoke for the Barracks in an unofficial manner, and more helpful posts could have been provided to the user.

It is not up to you to decide whether a thread in this forum continues or not. It is up to the moderators. Going into a thread to tell a user that his club doesn't belong and then arguing with him over the merits of having such a club is exactly what the intention of the backseat moderating rule is there to keep from happening. Just because you didn't specifically say "lock this" or "this should be locked" does not mean that you didn't do so in as many words with your posts.

Again, I agree fully. As I stated in the beginning, I embrace clubs similar to ours, and we are not "elitist" in any way. While lines should be drawn as to how many groups like this can be on Newgrounds, that is ultimately up to the moderators, and we respect their decisions on that as they may be.

Honestly, if this is the kind of elitist dickery that we have to deal with, perhaps the moderation team should reconsider the validity of these types of clubs. I don't know if it's taking in former NGPD members who got that club locked and a lower standard of member in here or a circle jerk culture of elitist attitudes towards the rest of the site, but if that is how you guys are going to act when a like-club topic is made, it's almost as bad as the squabbling between the anti-anime and anime clubs back in the day.

To be honest, our standards have become nothing but more stringent since the club started. We require no less than an exemplary post quality, Elite Guard rank (of course), a bronze whistle at minimum, and a deliberation period where members vote and state their opinions on the potential recruit. Afterwards. the officers ultimately decide on the user's acceptance or rejection.

Since the NGPD was locked, we have not accepted a single member that was formerly a part of that club. However, if we do get someone interested in joining, they will be upheld to the same stringent requirements we've always had. I assure you the EGB will never tolerate spammy or post + 1 type response like the NGPD was locked for.

I'll let EagleRock decide on what to do with toiletpaper and porkchop.

Again, let me state that neither user is an active EGB member at this point, and did not speak on behalf of the Barracks. However, if either wish to become members of the EGB, these actions will be considered for the future. I apologize for the misunderstanding and misrepresentation of what we stand for here. If you wish for me to comment further, I am available via PM or AIM. I'll be happy to answer any of your questions.

Sorry dude; you need at least 2500 B/P and a Bronze whistle or higher to join here. Of course, you can help out with reporting portal abuse if you want to, you'll just have to wait until you get the required stats to be an official member.

Just make sure you read up on what counts as portal abuse beforehand, if you wish to help out around here. ;)

It's nowhere near as bad as Cricket - we invented a game that can only be played in the sunshine, in a country where 58% of the summer, it rains.

Perhaps we could use a more stern approach towards these vagrants?

I'll let EagleRock decide on what to do with toiletpaper and porkchop.

I'm aware of the comments regarding this, but as they do not speak for us, perhaps our best policy would be to distance ourselves from them. I know that you have already done this to a certain extent, but we could use an official stance on this.

I know that my position might be more stern and less forgiving than others here, but if things like this happen again, I am not expecting the moderators to be so lenient. We have been warned and should be seen to take action.

Wow, who'd have thought that the EGB would've been warned by the Mods. This is a dark time indeed. All we do is politely tell the vagrants who wish to join our requirements and that they can help report abuse(NOT REVIEW ABUSE) and we would link them to the NGDD, but they're currently revamping their entire department.
