Howdy stranger, good to see ya back around these parts, it has been way too long. Know where you are coming from with the not being around too much though, hardly on at all myself :(.

Howdy! Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not being on for such a long time, but I'm trying to get back into my groove. I just miss the good old days here in the Barracks. Hopefully I'll make some new memories and friends while I am here again.


You finally going to make that push to Supreme Commander?

You know it! 686 points to go. I forgot how close I was. :)

Come on, you didn't put up much of a fight to stop me from passing you. I know it's been tough, but now you've got to focus on these last few hundred points.

Not really, mine's only a little higher than yours. That's because you're in level 11, in a couple of months your VP will be higher than mine, because you're a Staff Sergeant and I'm a Private First Class.

Not for now. As both your B/P and experience level grows, you'll get a better voting power. You're level 11; you're not going to get a good voting power because you haven't been on here for a long time, nor will the B/P increase affect your VP as much because of the low base power.

yeah.. I know that....

hey... but, have you notice (yes... of course you have) that the max is 16VP...?
that not a lot... If a user have been on the page more than 10 years and have the max. rank... I think 16 is not enough VP... don't you think so... ppl get to much VP at the begging... and just a few on the high lvls...

Well, compared to the VP of everyone else, it's pretty good. It's more than double my voting power. But Tom doesn't want to give a lot of power to 1 user; if that user is "persuaded" to vote a certain way on a flash, then that flash would go in whatever direction the user voted in.

Not really - I've just realised that I've got the highest Voting Power of all EGB Members. You're using your votes constructively and as a result, you're getting more experience and B/P. Over time, both the bonus to your voting power from your B/P and your base voting power from your experience will grow.

In theory it is. I'm one of the 105 Supreme Commanders attempting to check this out. The results should be with me somewhere inside the next 10 years :P

that not a lot... If a user have been on the page more than 10 years and have the max. rank... I think 16 is not enough VP... don't you think so... ppl get to much VP at the begging... and just a few on the high lvls...

For me, it's not about how much voting power you have, it's about how you apply it that counts. Users of your level and VP can make a difference, you vote, just like everyone else.

It's 11.11, counting the rank I have, which is Supreme Commander. I just need more power to take crap down. Now the question is, how? :(

Gave it a 4. Pretty damn funny, and it's close, but not compared to the top movies (which you killed off) on Newgrounds.

Well... no answer by Slash...

I'm sorry, but you can't enter the EGB... to enter you should have 2500+ Blam/Protect points. That gives you the NewGrounds rank of Elite Guard Private
Take a look of the ranks here... http://www.newgrounds.com/lit/badge_list .html
Is not a real life rank... so, sorry

Same here, haven't been around in a while. Apparently real life is getting in the way of my NG time with the demanding things and all. I just watched RAB 19 too, good, but I expected more of it. Seems our best animators are getting lazy falling short of our expectations. No matter, anyway, I'm back with a new bad ass level and B/P badge.

I just saw it, and thought it was pretty good. Not the best of the series, but still pretty damn good.

Seems our best animators are getting lazy falling short of our expectations.

I don't think it's that, rather than us expecting so much of the animators that they can never truly ful-fill whatever it is that you want in the newest episode.

Well, either way, I had expected more from our famed artists than what we got. It just seems to me that the flashes we're seeing today are thrown together/rushed/unemotional/pointless/wi erd or may fit into some other category. NG is supposed to be a godly flash site with GODLY animators, don't you think that they should atleast try to become better instead of staying inside of the same boundary? I think that EVERYONE should atleast make an effort to improve, don't you? Get my point?

I hope you guys don't mind but I'd have to jump in a b/p race to motivate me to start b/ping again lol. I've gotten so lazy lately that I just deposit and post for a little while. I've been post whoring a lot to get back up to an average of 1 post per day...I'm pushing hard to make it there.

Major news, well I also haven't been able to post in the EGB as much lately, and Aldlv had to make the update. God damn life.
