Yo Phantom, easy on the insults; We all make mistakes, we're only human. If you want us to improve on a certain subject, state what we are doing wrong and politely correct us-don't go bitching about "the old days." You might have made this crew, but we're the backbone of it. Without us, it would disappear within days. With that said, I think you are a good leader, but your mind has to get in gear.

No. Flaming is why I am who I am. I don't take shit from anyone, don't come to me with flaming related shit. I'm not in the shit business.

The new generation of NG is what's wrong, complete fucking idiots. Grow up. If you expect to go anywhere without at least one asshole like me, get real.

You might have made this crew, but we're the backbone of it. Without us, it would disappear within days. With that said, I think you are a good leader, but your mind has to get in gear.

What the fuck are you on about? Backbone my ass, I'll be just fine if some people left, because we are removing weak links. All I am doing is making sure people don't fuck up while carrying our name in their post count. I don't care about anything else. But if you're in this NG club, you respect your superiors and do as you are told. Commands are called commands, not requests, because they come from a superior, who knows what he's doing.

In short, just don't fucking hurt other people here. Only I get to do it.

Alright everyone, this is where I step in. Even though I couldn't have stepped in earlier because I've been working my ass off.

The flaming in the NGDD has to stop now. If anyone has a problem with the decision of a leader, you PM that leader, and if it's an insult then you PM them with an insult. This is starting to look like a shithole while all of the members are insulting the leader. Enough is enough. You think it's unfair? PM me.

Anyone who wants anything done, PM me with your problems, and DarkSoldier, Phantom, and myself will work out the problem. I figure that's as fair as I can get for you guys.

NeonFlame, and anyone else trying to get into the NGDD, you need to start PMing me if you're trying to get back in. Insulting Phantom isn't going to get you back. I like you guys, but insulting someone who is a leader here is definitely going to make your chances of returning slim.

If you think the way I'm handling things is unfair, then that sucks. This is the best way to work things out from here on. Through PMs.

Happy Clock Day btw.

The main reason I avoid arguments. They drag on and on, and I don't see any accomplishments getting done.

Yeah, despite the fact I lacked will to browse the 'under judgement' section to rack up a whole bunch of points. Bleh.

I agree. I've decided to take the high road with all future frustrated members. So....

sirtom, your NGDD account XR has been nerphed for that witty, witty joke.

No I understood it was a joke sirtom, but it was just a bad time for a joke. I'm not trying to yell at anyone or point the finger. Everyone is entitled to joke around, but if I was in Phantom's position at the time I wouldn't have taken it as a joke. No hard feelings.

I had come from the outside of the conversation, I didn't even know what the hell they were talking about, sure I could have read but I thought a quick post to maybe, lighten the place up a bit. And maybe there are hard feelings when I loose all the XR I got for reviewing audio, took fucking ages to do. Also how can I complain to the leader of my department when my department doesn't even have a leader.

Kind regards -

Lol, nice job sirtom :) You came a long way from where you were before. You are going up a thousand, and I can't believe I'm in the top 1,000 for blams/saves. I'm so close to pimp and Ramagi, I could shake their hands :D

You have actually passed Pimp's rank. I think in total I gained just over 1500 ranks on cc day. A brilliant result. and in 2 days I have come from top 10'000 ranks to top 8000 ranks.

Quite frankly, I didn't pass anyone on clock day, but considering nearly everyone in this range of B/P was active on clock day, I'll just keep working.

Helwo, I'm back from my camping trip, as you can see. And let me tell you, it fucking sucked. No sleeping bag in an unusually cold August weekend, sleeping on a tarp and dirt. Breakfast lunch and dinner was PB & J sammiches, with a food challenged after lunch (I got stuck with the pickled pigs feet). And I had to listen to the most annoying fucking kids in the troop. Worst camp out I've ever been to in my 60-70 camping experiences in my life.

Well, anyway, on Clock Day I got 80 points, give or take. That's more than I've ever gotten in one day, yet it only moved me up 1 rank. But I did make Sargent, which is what I was aiming for.


Happy

Yes, it is true I was inactive. But if you look a few more pages I post that I had to go up north to be with my grandpa. Who is dying of cancer. So I took a leave of absence.

I missed that post because of events concerning Gu-rrilla and I apologize. I feel for your grandpa as I have no more grandpa's alive ;(

Now, with things somewhat sorted out I'm simply starting fresh and applying once more.

Alright, well then... let's start off with the basics.

Well...i don't know if you know much about what you're suppose to be doing on your probation so i will just list them.

Lets get down to the length of your probation.

It Starts: August 18th 2008

It Ends: August 29th 2008

Now, I'll just recap the BBS Department Summary:

The job of the NGDD BBS Department is first and foremost to be responsible BBS posters. They are not here to be spammers and assholes around the BBS, but instead be role models for the Department of Defense. Their job extends from creating interesting topics all the way to answering questions posted in the Where Is/How To Section. They are also in charge of informing moderators of unseen spam and keeping an overall friendly board environment.
Your job does not require you to be a robot, and it does not require you to be a negative, no-fun person. Be yourself on the forums, but be helpful not harmful to other users and their opinions.

Requirements: A good, non-spamming poster

So basically what we want from you during your 10 day probation is good posts around the BBS and GET YOURSELF involved into the discussions that the NGDD has (the good discussions that is. Not a flam war discussion!). You have to be active here so we can understand why you should be a member here. Getting yourself banned or anything like that is not a good sign in the BBS Department. Last time i got banned was before the re-design. I post wisely and make no spam posts and that's what shows a good poster! Try to help users in Where Is/How To Section using your knowledge. That gives you a good summary of what we want from you during your probation and if you do make it as a member we want you to continue doing that as much as possible. Do better if you make it as a member actually!

Good Luck Because You'll Need It!

Haha, now your getting me nervous saying that I'll need it :0.

Thanks for the opportunity, though. I promise I won't let you guys down. It works out perfectly because I'm home alone all week. My folks are going to Florida.

So I'll have a lot of spare time to be on the BBS.

Damn. Does anybody know how many ranks you would go up if you started at level zero and got, say, 500 saves on Clock Day?

This place on the third page!?!?

Unbelievable. I play MGS 3 for the second time for a couple of hours and what happens over here? We go inactive >:(

I won't stand to see this happen especially when my department is becoming inactive. Looks as if I will be kicking some people out. You think I won't do it? Just watch me.

SoulMaster71, you're one of the people I would have never expected this from. According to my data your last post here was July 27...

Lotus, you haven't even went through your probation for the BBS Department yet :\

Marsupial, you haven't even chosen a department for which you would like to be in inside the NGDD.

youngblood26, you haven't posted here in like a month.

iCurrie, you disappeared from NG's. It's already been a month.

NintendoMadness, I don't know where the hell you've been.

MrFinland, you haven't posted since August 2nd here. I know you said you were going through some personal problems but either way you said you would be active or something like that :\

DELUCA2400, you randomly post here yet want to be a member when you choose to post at random times and be inactive for the most part.

RSQViper, well... I don't remember if you had said something for your inactivity but either way you're inactive and as a department leader it doesn't look too good for you and when people apply for the flash department.

Night-Mare, inactive. I don't even know why we accepted you in the first place.

Andrea364, I don't know what happened to you and neither do I really care.

head2toewinner, you've been inactive from NG's for about 2 months now.

TheNossinator, you're inactive here and that's all that needs to be said since you decide to post at other threads but not here.

ShortMonkey, I don't know why you're inactive but its almost been a month. Something most have happened. I know you wouldn't betray your collab without a good reason.

Cole, well... you post like ever 3 months.

You need to calm down. Some of those people (as you pointed out) have had some personal problems in their life and need some time off of NG. Others just like taking a break for a bit. Some people are that list are just low-level members of NG in general; here for a few months, even a year, before this place gets too boring.

So we cut the newer members of both this club and NG, and keep the older ones on in hopes of having them return.

I was lurking, nothing interesting to post about. Big list. I think people who mentioned they'd be inactive, should get some sort of temp pass to work it out until they are ok, I've been there myself you know. People who I don't know well, you can remove. But I'll insist on Finland and RSQViper to get some time to work things out. PM/IM them just in case.

I can see your point there DarkSoldier, and I must agree I don't have a good enough excuse to explain my absence, but don't be mistaken, I have been here lurking and read every single post that has been made, but haven't felt I could take part in the conversation, guess that's a part of my nature these days. All my personal shit keeps it's status as unsolved and I am afraid I'll have to stop wishing to find a solution and move along with it. All the excitement and hopes for my own apartment and easier access to school and free time have been long lost. So. I apologise for this inactivity and I hope I can do better. It's been troubling lately I can tell you that, and I have met my fair share of meaningless promises. Hell a load of my free time goes to schooltrips now.

Looks like he has left the site ,as for the leader they post when they do. I did post everyday maybe i should again. It is sad to see this club getting so inactive. What can be done to change this?

Of course this happens during my apprenticeship :/

I kept on looking at this thread and no one was posting, and I didn't know what to talk about since I'm kind of new here.

That sucks for the people you kicked out. But hey, if your not going to be an active member than there is no use of you being here.
