The only real requirements are having 2,500 B/P and a decent recent posting history (not too many 1-liners or 1-worders).
That's really about it.

You do have the qualifications to join. You have intelligent posts and good reviews (I've seen you in the WWE club and know you're not a moron, heh), intact whistle, and are of Private+ rank.
I know some of the newer EGB members might be hesitant when they see your connection to the KK (although I can't say that I know how active your involvement is), but let me ease their minds: I checked out his flashes, both co-authors and solo submissions, and none of it is rulebreaking or stupid-redundant. I made worse during my Barney Bunch days, so it's all good. In fact I kind of liked a few of his solo works, heh
I'd actually like having a KK member in the EGB, because it can help clarify the Barracks' purpose to those who don't know us (as most probably consider us a mass-voting club or an army roleplay, lol).
Anyway, the Barracks is basically about fair voting. We don't tell members what to vote on or how they should vote. We are not the enemies of any group, either. Barracks members are only expected to vote on flashes based on how they enjoyed it, not for protection points (or blam points). The main role of the EGB is to have a group of high-ranking voters who vote based on their definition of quality, as opposed to the huge chunk of the Newgrounds public that are point-whores.
We're stat-whores, yes, but we liked our stats to be earned in good conscience, heh.
We spread the message about doing so, hoping that we make a difference, as small as it may be. We also report stolen flashes here and to the NGPD to be investigated, and if something rulebreaking/stolen manages to pass judgment or is fileswapped, we make sure Wade is notified.
We also serve as a sort of tutorship for new NG members; since most Private+ users are long-time members, we can help lots of new sign-ups, whether it be as simple as linking them to the Newgrounds FAQ or guiding them through flash-making.
Lately the EGB has also gotten more focused on review work and whistles, and one cannot join if they have a Garbage Whistle. We have a whistle improvement project for those who want a shinier whistle, although it's currently postponed until the Barracks forums are re-done.
If you want to join, give the Barracks FAQ a read at our forums, and if you're interested, register there and I'll validate you. That's really all you have to do to join up.
Slash's call
was absorbed
by the darkness.
Thank you, SlashFirestorm for the clarification. I have registered with the forum.
I would, however, like to clear the KK thing up. I had been a member of Newgrounds for 5 years with no affiliations because I didnt feel the need to join any crews. When I had seen how bad people LOATHED the KK more than any of the dozens of spam crews that do the exact same thing they are guilty of, I was curious as to why they were hated with so much more intensity. So I decided to start talking to them and see for myself. As it turns out, the KK (In my humble opinion) are some of the nicest people Ive met me 6+ years here at newgrounds, and have a surprisingly good sense of humor and wit. I ended up falling in love with the KK members and joined shortly after, As irony would have it, my involvement with them is to the point that I am a Kitty (The only higher rank in the KK is administrator or mod)
As long as it isnt a problem for me to be proud of my KK friends or my involvement with the Krew, I would be happy to join the EGB, and I also thank you for not passing judgement on me for my KK ties, which the majority of NG users tend to do. This seems like an awesome crew that a person can be proud to be a part of.
I really don't care if he's involved with the KK, I think they're hilarious, regardless of how shite their flashes can be. Some of them really make me laugh out loud just seeing that they had the beans to submit it into the portal. So I have no problem with him joining, clearly.
Yea, I farm Anal Penguins. Do something about it.

I can relate to that---I went through something similar with the Barney Bunch. They got a lot of heat from the public because of the handful of people that submitting fileswaps and computer-crashers, despite the fact that most of the members submitting nothing more harmful than secret episodes. I ended up joining them and, like you, found a group of funny and nice people. They taught me the basics of flash and we had a lot of fun on Secret Episode Days and such.
It certainly isn't a problem for you to be proud of your group affiliation---most of us at the Barracks know that the majority of KK guys don't break any rules, and we don't hold a whole group accountable for the actions of a few. Most KK flashes make me laugh, myself, like the Barney Bunch of old *sniff*.
So yeah, welcome aboard.

Incidentally, it seems that the post history glitch (you couldn't see anyone's posts after New Year's in their history) has been fixed. Swell.

Sweet, something to look forward to then :)
I agree, it was pretty damed funny. Just not epic. I save epic for... well... epic things.
I thought it was more epic than Waterlollies.
Also, on a B/P note: I am liking the trend I am seeing a little better than the usual trend. MUCH more stuff was blammed yesterday than normal. Today my Saves barely outweigh my Blams. Sure, it's partially because I vote to blam things that end up passing (even though they SUCK ASS), but it also means that things are getting blammed that SHOULD be.
Yeah, I've had 3 days with 10-20 Blams, when I'm usually struggling to make double figures. Hopefully, the trend will continue.

Definately - I can check how many posts I've made today, without having to resort to my spreadsheet.
I remember when it was normal to see people with more blams than saves, and people were acquiring Blam points a lot faster Protect points. I used to have twice as many B points than P points. As u can see that has changed significantly. Yet, I to, have noticed that in the last couple of days I have been getting more B points than usual. Hmm...

Hm, pretty quiet today up in here.
Well, ol' Slashy would again like to inform the Barracks about another extremely swell piece of music that I found on the Audio Portal. This track, by uziwave, is great for calming shattered nerves, like the ones you sometimes get after a long, hard day on the Portal.
SLASH APPROVES.

Wow. I saw that UJ, too. Interesting hack.
I wonder if it has something to do with you adding a buddy and if they haven't approved it you can still co author them.

If I had to wager a guess, it might have something to do with replacing co-author ID's in URL's manually or something. But I don't know. In any case, yeah, hopefully it'll be fixed before it's exploited like crazy.

Yeah i have this flash submission which i didn't submit and all the people that were on co-author list didn't submit it either. I couldn't find out who submitted it since it was flagged for abuse and this happened a long time ago.

Pretty interesting hack. It doesn't really harm NG, although it does prevent the population from knowing who submitted a flash. But that could be a good thing; if the average statwhore can't trace who made the flash, they might not give it a 2 or a 5 because a certain author made it.
where's EagleRock?
what's going on right now?
sorry I'm not online a lot, don't kick me out of the EGB :'(

Actually, that is now different than it was. It WAS BigFuzzyKitten posting the Flash and then he somehow made a workaround and coauthored M-Bot, P-Bot and all the actual NG Bots.
Now for some reason all authors are missing.
Also, I did a search on BigFuzzyKitten's flash and he has very few now. I'm wondering if a hammer was dropped or if he's doing it to all his Flash. Either way, I didn't see anything else after the letter "D" when I looked.

This flaw thing is really getting out of hand.
We need the admins to take immediate action.
I already pmed Wade but i don't expect to get a response.

We should just wait out the storm. When the glitch is fixed, I have a feeling that anyone who abused it more than once or twice is going to be e-sodomized.

You're right, they are. I clicked his drop-down menu on a Flash and there weren't many. They ARE all listed under Flash in his profile though

I like how he did it as a "favor" to the admins.
You know, vice actually EMAILING someone and letting them know? Hopefully a nice ban is in order for him and anyone else doing it.

That would be nice yeah, I can't stand those guys, 571 submissions...
But all the spammer crews have already been kicked a couple times in their e-balls, so there have been some good work done against those guys, and I hope they will all end up burning in HELL !!!

I like hearing admins say this.
I like it a lot.
I hope that Wade takes some serious actions against BFK this time. Any "mercy" will only encourage more spamming crews to challenge the authority.
