Now if only we could tell you story to the rest of Newgrounds.

Sadly though some people think that it's impossible for someone to change for the good.

I am sick and tired of so many other users complaining about their whistles and claiming that their is a glitch in the system.

I only thought there was a glitch for a short time and that was because BR put the thought in my head awhile ago in the abusive review thread. I realized there wasn't one when Malachy bit our heads off for assuming it.

I try to tell them over and over that there is nothing wrong and offering to help but they just need to learn that its their own judgment that is wrong, that has the glitch.

Yeah, I even made a guide to try and help them, but apparently people didn't trust me because I had a garbage whistle. Now that I have a better whistle I've had a few people tell me thanks for making it because it was very helpful. Just goes to show you that just because someone has a garbage whistle doesn't mean that they don't know what they are talking about. Sometimes it's just because of something they did in the past.


But alas congrats on getting your whistle up to gold.

Thanks a lot.

I don't get why they'd complain in the first place. It's easy to spot out abusive reviews since they just love to be so blatant with it. I never had a trouble with the whistle system, it isn't broken. People just like to complain about something,

People are just morons, basically. Nothing much more to it than that.

I've never had any real trouble with it either. People like complaining, and scapegoats. "DON'T BLAME ME FOR MY GARBAGE WHISTLE, IT'S A WHISTLE SYSTEM GLITCH"

Really grinds my gears.

I know what you mean, lucky I don't see complaints like that too often whenever I post. Speaking of which.

Don't lie to us now, just admit you can't flag properly and over time we will forgive you. :P

In other news I hope you gain motivation over your realization about how close you are to getting Commander.

Why you little...!

Nah, I don't even flag anymore really, except when the odd stolen submission or something comes through the portal. I always liked the Gold whistle too much to bother hanging out in Rage's thread or anything trying to get it up to Deity.

So many people have Deity now, anyway. I like to be a tiny bit different. ;P

In other news I hope you gain motivation over your realization about how close you are to getting Commander.

Yeah, as long as you don't rocket ahead of me like a speeding train towards EGSC. I'm having enough trouble balancing my time on NG with everything that I have going on in life, ATM...

Still, hoping to get EGSC before the year is out, but I dunno exactly how much luck I'll have with that. With my old pace it was feasible, but now it seems like it may well take a bit longer. :/

The vote was unanimous; Little-Rena is accepted into the Barracks. Welcome aboard.

First thing you should do is sign up at the EGB Forums, so you can contribute to discussions about future recruits and the like.

The recent bump in recruits is awesome, especially with a new EGSC in our ranks. Kick-ass.

Also good, but I know that I can outrun pretty much everyone in the office. The fact that most of them smoke really helps me in this respect

I never said that I wanted to bite you again. Should the need arise for me to bite you again, I have noted the requirements. It's only a few kB of my memory space :P
Actually, I have an interview for Sunday in an Internet Supplier company, so there's a chance I'll be upgraded and be worth quite a few KB's to bite.

In that case, it would be a case that people would have to byte you :P

Oh yes I will do that as well as attempt to put some more recent posts onto the forum, it looks like it died a little. I have signed up to the forum, account is just awating validation now, thanks for the unanimous vote.

I'll have a chat to Wade about that submission when I next go on AIM.

I seriously hate all these Pigletface flashes. People need to stop voting high on them for free saves and actually vote on them based on what they deserve. I ALWAYS give them either a 1 or a 0, which IMO is what they should be getting.

Welcome aboard man. ;P

Can't complain, although like I was saying to Joshiwa after I did the roster on Tuesday, we're coming dangerously close to the character per post limit on the second half of the roster again. I'll probably have to snip down the 13 'Supreme Commander' ranks to just 'EGSC' to free up some more space... beyond that, all I can do is remove the ranks after the names completely, but I really don't want to have to do that.

Yeah, it's pretty slow over there. People mostly only seem to go there when there's a new member in need of discussion. ;_;

A small few though I have watched haven't been all too bad, no real point to the ones I've seen but they looked okay, better than some stuff that gets through. The majority I have seen though aren't that good, I generally 0 them even if they do pass.

On the subject of our private forums... I know a lot of you don't check out the EGB forums on a regular basis, but please have a look at this thread so that you can spread the word. And do try and look at the watchlist whenever you get the chance.

Sorry Sir im just curious as i thought that was the requirement. As Josiwa sent you a pm then i must be wrong. SlashFireStorm sent me a pm when i joined back in Febuary. I know its quiet its usually picks ,up on tuesday when there is a roster.

To join the EGB as a guardsman the requirements are only that you're a member of the NGPD who is genuinely interested in joining the Barracks once the required amount of points has been acquired.

Hey guys.

I believe this is stolen.

NG version: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/45 0703

Original: http://www.wieringsoftware.nl/charlie/

It's odd that someone should copy an entire program...

I posted the same thing in RageVI's Abusive Reviews thread.
