It was like kapomwa or something like that. I hate how people change their sns to get people to write bad reviews and give it 0's so they can get turd. I normaly 5 them so at least they'll get alittle farther away from their goal of turd.

I have done the same thing. Turd of the Week and Under Dog of the Week are highly contested by these garbage crews. In all truth, Under Dog of the week should go to someone who actually deserves it. Someone that for some reason was voted low, but has a decent review score because people saw something in the Flash that was worth it. Not for the a-holes that had all their crew friends vote 0 and then review 10.

It seems like the admins wouldn't allow such names since not everyone on newgrounds are teenagers. I'd expect having aittle kid read "fuck you faggots" would be somewhat wrong.

This BLOWS by freaking mind that these are allowed as names. Hey, I understand that NG is all about breaking the mold, but names like these are just stupid. There is no point to them at all except to get attention.

I know Tom wants higher brow ads on this site and if these places he wants or even wins to advertise here see things like this they may very well NOT want to be affiliated with NG and pull their stuff.

ex. If you were Pepsi would you want your add to be around and affiliated with a Flash named "N-WORD FUCKERZ" made by someone named "EATPU55Y"? HELL NO you wouldn't.

It was very nice news.

Actually I just edited it as soon after I posted it I received an email from Tom who HAS ACCEPTED MY BYTESIZE!!! Looks like it'll be on the frontpage at some point! I don't know when, but I don't care!

btw, I love my 7.51 voting power :D
You're lucky you have a high voting power mine's sadly only 6.98. I need to get more experience so i can get a higher voting power.

Mine is at 7.78 now. 6.29 base. It'll be a bit higher soon when I hit Staff Sergeant, then I hit my next level in 18 days (just a few days before my 3 year aniversary of being a Gold Member).
With "You Love This Movie" hopefully releasing September, me ranking up in September and also Leveling up and hitting my 3-year anniversary, looks like September is going to be a busy NG Month for me! A damn good busy month! Hurry the fuck up, September!!!

Review mods need to start banning again once that happens there's gonna be a more far newgrounds for animators. Yeah i like random humor and rarely crews do produce good random humor but if they do which is rare they turn it into somethin stupid,racist,or offensive. I see a ton of good flash that get washed away and forgotten because of crew doing that. They work maybe 15 minutes on a flash then have their friends 10 it so they can get awards as people that try hard get barely anything for their hard work. I think that kinda stuff is just contributing to the lackof great flashes coming out nowadays. When i first came on(not that long ago) thee seemed to be a much higher blamming rateon crews and better flashes coming out but not anymore.

This BLOWS by freaking mind that these are allowed as names. Hey, I understand that NG is all about breaking the mold, but names like these are just stupid. There is no point to them at all except to get attention.

They'e just there to piss people off. It seems like wade would stop this all he has to do is make a new post saying offensive,racist,and names of flashes tht are only used to get a lower score will be deleted. I hope that days come soon but sadly it wont probably.

I know Tom wants higher brow ads on this site and if these places he wants or even wins to advertise here see things like this they may very well NOT want to be affiliated with NG and pull their stuff.

Plus it's limiting the age of people because i know if i was younger my parents wouldn't allow me to be on a site that says"fu you n word,porn or no,spongebob incest,and etc."

ex. If you were Pepsi would you want your add to be around and affiliated with a Flash named "N-WORD FUCKERZ" made by someone named "EATPU55Y"? HELL NO you wouldn't.

It's just limiting the amount of money newgrounds receives and making to put more ads up.

Ok guys I know some of you have probably been wondering where the update is, but I missed it. Partly cause of a dodgy internet connection and also due to the fact I've been busy trying to sort out college. So hopefully Stero will sort me out a data sheet for next monday, and I'll get a two week one done, sorry for the inconvenience

lolefight

I'd rather use the internet instead of doing homework at night. That's why I do it in the morning. The only good thing about my 'concentration camp' school is that my schedule lets me get around that, despite the 5 pages per class rate that homework is being doled out. I won't be checking the forums again tonight because I have 3 minutes left to use the internet and I wouldn't have that if mom and I hadn't struck this rather unfair deal. It's better than nothing though, I have to admit.

It wasn't immature. It was just dumb.

Yup, that's me an idiot who jumps into things before she really knows what she's doing. I was kinda careful not to say a couple of things though.

I know. My school cut-out field trips in 7th grade, after we went to some shitty day camp for science stuff. But then we went to Hersey Park, and that made up for it.

They cut out MayDay for us this year, but they might bring it back for us 7th and 8th graders if we act mature, which is highly unlikely.


You don't go to a school; you go to a concentration camp.

Oh sure, make me hate school even more. The only good thing about my shcool is band, and even that isn't very fun anymore.

Well, your stats that you posted in the private forums would suggest that's true.

Heheh, what'd i tell you, I don't take jack from nobody. I do the picking on and they cry like babies.


Meh, I'm slowing down. We're short-staffed at the pool, so I've been having to work a lot. Oh well, I'd rather have the money than the B/P points

Me too, cept I'm not old enough to get paid for any kind of work yet, so what's the point in working? Anyway, I'll be back some time tomorrow morning so mom doesn't fuss. She's looking over my shoulder as we speak, which is quite unnerving, especially for someone like me, who is trouble prone. She's correcting my spelling now, what does that tell you? lol

NO EXCUSE SOLDIER...YER FIRED!!! (flips hair so I look like Donald Trump)

LOL, it's NBD, Shanus. I'll put it this way. I will not be mad at you as long as every update you do either matches or surpasses my best roster. Considering I have done NONE, I think you're in good shape. :-)

Incidentally, I have been documenting a lot of Barracks rules so I can make up an official rules list (not an FAQ...that's for newcomers and duly maintained by Slash). One thing I wanted to bang out was a more formal way of determining inactive members, including officers. Major-punk did one a long time ago, but I think it's high time we redid this. I want the Barracks Records Officers to have input first, though, as they're the ones that maintain the rosters and would be the best to come up with something. No rush on this, of course. Thanks again for all your hard work, guys!

Oh yeah, one more thing...if you want a laugh, check my new blog post I'm about to write...I'm sure some of you can relate.

Malicious. It also seems to have slown down my Internet, but that could be a coinincidence.

So, yeah, I've had a pretty good day. I went out on another date, and expensive one, with my girlfriend. When we got back to her place, we laid down on the beds and snuggled while watching Scrubs. Then I finally got home and got right back into getting use to my tablet whilst B/Ping.

I'm hoping to rank up within the next week, however, I'm not sure if that is doable right now, as I have a 10-page essay on how I believe that the human brain works as well as a bug collection for Biology.

How was your day, Barracks?

So do I. But at night, I'll split my time; 15 minutes of internet, then 5-10 minutes of homework. Also, I'd like that deal explained.

Yeah, otherwise it might have ended up making you look immature.

They cut out MayDay for us this year, but they might bring it back for us 7th and 8th graders if we act mature, which is highly unlikely.

What's MayDay? And they just say that shit so you guys act good. They probably say "Oh, you guys were bad", or just not tell you about it, and hope you forget.

You don't go to a school; you go to a concentration camp.
Oh sure, make me hate school even more. The only good thing about my shcool is band, and even that isn't very fun anymore.

Most kids in my Middle school liked band. But they had a fun teacher, even after he reached tenure. But once the high school band director reached tenure, he was a huge dick.

Well, your stats that you posted in the private forums would suggest that's true.
Heheh, what'd i tell you, I don't take jack from nobody. I do the picking on and they cry like babies.

And from what I understand, you like that. ;)

Yeah, you. Your parents don't make you pay for school clothes. Hell, I have to buy most of my shit, and that's after I'm forced to take out half of the paycheck to put in the bank.

Anyway, I'll be back some time tomorrow morning so mom doesn't fuss. She's looking over my shoulder as we speak, which is quite unnerving, especially for someone like me, who is trouble prone. She's correcting my spelling now, what does that tell you? lol

That is. Wouldn't be ironic if you were making a post on how much you hated your mom?

Just while your all talking about the rosters I thought I'd make a small announcement. Shanus' who was the one doing the update this week has been extremely busy. I just recieved a PM from him then saying he couldnt do it. So there will be no update this week. I will do the update next Tuesday so dont stress, it will just be like what it used to be. I'm not sure for how long Shanus' will be to busy to do the update so I might be making it every 7 days after that for a while.

Oh and the update is This craigalan, I will add you to it on Tuesday!

Here we go with another chapter!

The Barracks Under Fire

by EagleRock

Chapter 15 - Stepping Towards the Light

After EagleRock fell down, BRS rushed across the side street that came across the wine cellar exit. He had seen Phantom peek out of the doorway and instinctively grabbed a flashbang to blind him. Phantom fell back as he tried to clear his eyes. Shots from BRS' AK47 sounded through the air as Phantom's vision slowly returned. The shots kept coming closer, meaning his time was running out. The three remaining hostages were waiting behind Phantom, obediently waiting for his move.

Meanwhile, EagleRock reached the end of the long corridor that came from the hostage building only to find the alleyway there empty. He slowly crept along, gun hoisted, ready to peer into the marketplace area, the famous area where most battles in cs_italy took place. He didn't see anyone, but that didn't mean they weren't there.

All of a sudden, a grenade flew over his head. EagleRock dove to the left, trying to get away from it as much as possible. Thankfully, the grenade had overshot his position and detonated away from him. He struggled to get up and rushed around to a back alley, entering the marketplace from another angle. From there, he saw Newgrundling hiding behind a cart of vegetables, aimed at the other entrance.

Just as Newgrundling saw EagleRock, he turned to shoot. Before he could, EagleRock shot at the vegetable cart, spraying vegetables all over the area, making it hard for either one to see.

Phantom's vision was returning to him, but BRS was closing in. Phantom gritted his teeth and leaped over the ledge he was on and flew in the air towards BRS. He shot his TMP at BRS, which sprayed towards him, hitting him in the chest and head several times. As Phantom fell to the ground in a painful thud, he stood up and hovered over BRS's body. As he shot one more bullet into BRS's head, he said, "Not this time, asshole." He then heard shots nearby of EagleRock's AUG and an AK47.

He knew time was running out. Fighting the urge to assist Eagle, he ran as fast as he could towards the hostage rescue point, all three hostages behind. It was only a question of whether or not EagleRock could hold out.

Both Newgrundling and EagleRock were shooting at each other, neither one hitting the mark. The marketplace was strewn with splintered wood and food that covered the whole area. Both of them had exhausted their ammunition and had drawn pistols at that point. EagleRock's Desert Eagle echoed loudly off of the stone walls and metal rooftops of the nearby homes, hitting all kinds of food, but not Newgrundling. By the time his seven shots were exhausted, Newgrundling had popped up from his cover, Glock in hand.

Just then, the loud foghorn sounded, indicating the match was over. Wade's voice boomed, "The hostages have been rescued. Counter-Terrorists win!" EagleRock dropped to his knees in relief, dropping his pistol beside him. Newgrundling looked at him and lowered his weapon.

As EagleRock looked up at him, Newgrundling said, "You're lucky...this time."

EagleRock panted, "Why not just kill me now?"

"Even if I wanted to, I can't." He then stepped away from the mess they made and walked towards his teleportation pod, back at the hostage building. EagleRock looked at him as he walked by, wondering the implications of his words. He stood up to go back to his teleportation pod, but felt extreme pain. He was bleeding in several places, thanks to several gunshots he sustained. He knew that he'd pretty much be dead if he didn't have the effects of the adrenaline shot in his body, but it couldn't help stop the fatigue and pain he was feeling. He knew this was the second time that he avoided death. As he slowly walked back to the pods, he heard Wade's ceremonial ending of the broadcast:

"Well, that's about it for today, folks! The Elite Guards put in a good show as they tie up the match count, three to three! Tune in tomorrow for a special match to celebrate Clock Day! Wade Fulp...out!"

"So now he's fucking Ryan Seacrest," said Phantom, as Eagle approached. As the two returned to their fellow soldiers, they were greeted by many cheers and hurrahs. EagleRock, however, wasn't happy.

"Dude," said Supreme Commander LittleWashu, "you can't be upset now. We took it to them like we needed to!"

"Yeah, but Viper's dead."

"He was brave," she continued, "and he died for us. At least his death wasn't in vain, as you got two of them and saved the hostages."

"He was brave for sure," said EagleRock. "I think it's only fair that he gets the recognition he deserves, too. I'm posthumously promoting him to Sergeant, as he did too much for us out there to not be."

"Agreed," said Phantom. "He was a great soldier."

"I'm just getting sick of all these promotions, though. I love promoting people, but not posthumously!"

"Well," said Slash, "let's get you fed and rested. You're running yourself ragged, Eagle."

"Okay," he replied, "but we need to talk together. It's important."

"Over dinner, then," said Slash. The twelve soldiers all went to the mess hall and consumed their meals. While the meals themselves were excellent as always, they somehow never satisfied the soldiers. After having their fill, EagleRock started to talk and mentioned his encounter with Newgrundling.

"Okay, look. This is a serious problem at this point. We know they want to kill us, but we need to know why."

"...Why?" said Slash. "What difference does it make? If they're trying to kill us, they're trying to kill us."

"Agreed," said Phantom. "Personally, if they're trying to shoot at me, I don't contemplate why they were compelled to do so."

"Still," said Eagle, "this makes no sense. It's not like we're not doing what Wade wants us to do...in fact, we're the best at holding up the values that he strives for!"

"Well," said Slash, "maybe they're not trying to kill us...maybe they're trying to test us."

"Test us?" Phantom stood up. "What kind of a test is this??"

"What if they're trying to find the best of the best and empower them even more?"

"Then," said EagleRock, "why kill us all, and why pit us against the moderators?"

"Maybe he's trying to prune out the weaker of the group. And the moderators...maybe he's trying to prune them too. You know how bad some of the mods are."

"Yeah," said Phantom, "but it's not just the bad ones getting killed out there. And what's up with Newgrundling saying he couldn't kill Eagle if he wanted to?"

"I think the guns don't work outside the playtime or something," said Eagle.

"Maybe you're right," said Slash, "It might have something to do with this being a test. I can't see Wade doing this for bad. For all we know, the survivors will be promoted to have all kinds of powers...mod status...ability to save or blam Portal entrants at will...getting stuff through the Portal without judgment!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" said Eagle. "What good would that do for Newgrounds? That's just way too much power that no one needs."

"Still," said Slash. "Don't you wish you had more power sometimes? Don't you wish you could control the Portal at will and have people do whatever you want?"

"First off, no," said Eagle. "That's power run rampant...it'll only corrupt you. And you can get that kind of power if you want...it requires hard work and respect from others."

"Oh, don't get so pious on me. All the shit you did so far and people shit still gets through the Portal. What the hell do you expect...people to just give up a chance at getting promoted to do the right thing?"

"Ugh," said Phantom. "We went over this shit already. If we all vote fairly with our enhanced voting power, we'll overpower those rouge groups. The Portal would stop being corrupt...simply because credit would turn to those voting fairly!"

"Anyway," said Eagle, "it still doesn't make sense. All I know is Clock Day is tomorrow, and some of the best soldiers in Newgrounds are not going to be out their protecting the Portal. I just wished I knew why."

"Whatever," said Slash. "I'm going to bed." He and the other soldiers retired to get some sleep before tomorrow's match.

Little did they know that the night wasn't over yet.

End of Chapter 15

LOL...there's reasons for you saying what you did. Also, let's not forget...NOTHING quite fits you unless you're actively screaming and/or shooting something... :-)

First, I would like to say that was a great chapter, Eagle. Good to see you two were able to win the round and good ol' me didn't die in vain.

Second, I am going to be out of town and in the woods and on a canoe for Saturday and Sunday, so I'll need someone to deposit for me those two days. I'll probably be back Sunday, but just in case, the two days would be very appreciated. I will <3 forever who does this for me. If I die in the canoe trip, please deposit for me until I am a pipewrench as if I cannot acheive that goal in this life it would be nice if you could acheive it for me in the afterlife.

Third, a bird shit all over my car today at my house and BOTH of my dogs peed on my bed! I can only hope this is good luck and NOT a sign of the Apololypse. I like Earth the way it is, thank you very much.

Nice chapter! Although I'm beginning to feel like this is Lost; each episode leaves you with more questions than answers.

Me no can count. It will be my SECOND year, not third.
