RENEGADE FTW

[PropagandaClock]

Truth

I agree with LeekClock. Also I agree with Renegade on the fact that there is to little {{}} on the forums. This topic is good proof of that, just because renegade suddenly left plenty-o-people hjump on the bashing bandwagon...
Everyone has bad days, ignore those: remember and cheerish the good memories.

Ill make a {{RenegadeClock}} flash later on. His flashes have always inspired me and still do.


Lastly I do not agree on not mass voting from time to time. Sure I do not wish for someone to get awesome scores on a flash that did not deserve it... however mass up-voting/top50 OLD flashes created by the early seniors is fully acceptable in my mind because everyone understands its a joke and those who do not are the idiots that the clockcrew was created to piss off.

On the topic of supposed 'mass voting' (for how much mass do we actually wield in terms of the cc:ng ratio of users?), I'll post something I posted elsewhere:

My first instinct is to agree that it's childish and unnecessary, but given [the current situation], I am forced to rethink the situation...

It is actually a loophole on NG's part - a fault in the system; neither our movies nor our motives have never been malicious. All our users should have the right to vote for the movies they want to win awards. If NG's own users had the same interest, they would vote too and it would balance it out. NG should just remove those awards that are of no consequence.

Five-en, is like Harden or enlighten, a verb methinks.

nay nay nay it's not even like that

fiven came from "five this" and "vote five on this" we started adding an extra n to the end because it was a common somewhat funny typo and we all spake teh l337
just like how we started adding forward slashes to the end of our sentences

I only wrote five-en with the hyphen and extra e because that flash was set to end of the world as we know it by REM and when he says "fine then" I synched it up to say "five, en"
it wasn't common or anything just a quick gag

fifen came as an elaboration some time later


it goes both ways

If Cadillac takes stuff too seriously he should make his own community instead of trying to sculpt his detachable penis in front of everyone.

[BilliardBall10]

so, hes gone?
 
crap!
 
btw: cadillac, you are a fuck face. not for hating me, but for also making jokes on cc's staff/status. and being an ass.

I never really cared for Renegade. Buttplug told me once that Renegade felt like the end of A Clockwork Orange(the book). Most of us are young Alex, while he's old Alex. He's grown up and matured, sitting in his office dreaming of starting a family, while most of us still want to go out to the milk bar and rape chicks. I agreed to the fullest extent.

That's pretty much how I feel about Renegade. I'm sure he's a nice guy and his intentions are noble, but I never really knew him apart from seeing his attempts to mature us up.

Asking someone to vote five on your new movie is fine. But voting up one movie to try get it into the top 50... it just seems useless, rewardless, unfunny, and lame.

It's fantastic. It's basically our way of slapping the angry little snots in the face and showing them their hypocrisy (they mass vote their video game crap; we mass vote our spam crap- if they throw a fit, they're contradicting themselves).
We genuinely love our spam. How come we can't get them the attention we feel they should?

It's not as if we're breaking Newgrounds. It's been broken for a while (gee, like every day there's a new top fifty movie- wtf!?).

I agree with LeekClock.

Entirely propaganda.

[ToadClock]

We're also not the Star Syndicate here. We're not posting child porn. We're not hijacking people's accounts. We're not spreading malicious viruses. We're not harassing Newgrounds people in real life (or anywhere outside of NG; come to think of it, we don't even harass them on NG).
Yet Tom Fulp threw great stuff their way (constantly giving them front pages, tossing tons of prizes at them, giving them tons of NG privileges and a collection actually updated and other pampering).
And he never really did anything about them. For crying out loud, they hijacked five animators' accounts and used them to spread porn and malicious viruses (which destroyed at least fifty computers).
They've been involved in criminal activity.
Why does Tom let them get away with whatever they want and why does the NG staff not try to control how they operate? Because they're supported by several popular artists (who are cozy with the staff and bring in money to the site with their other submissions)?

[Slurpee]

Star Syndicate get their accounts and shit deleted all the time

[BlackberryClock]

Sad to see Renegade go. We can disagree, but that shouldn't be the end of the world. What we don't need is people being assholes when they disagree, and I'm not referring to Renegade.

I like to sing-a

I like the moon-a and the june-a and the spring-a

[Slurpee]

I like to sing-a

about skies of blue-a and tea for two-a

[PropagandaClock]

When            Spring unfolds the beeches leaves and sap flows in the bough
          When light is on the wild-wood stream and wind is on the brow
                When stride is long and breath is deep and keen the mountain-air
          When stride is long and breath is deep and keen the mountain-air
         
When            Summer lies upon the world and in a noon of gold
          Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees unfold
          When woodland halls are green and cool, and wind is in the West
          When woodland halls are green and cool, and wind is in the West
Come            back to me, come back to me, and say my land is the best
          Come back to me, come back to me, and say my land is the best

       
When            Winter comes, the winter wild that hill and wood shall slay
          When trees shall fall and starless night devour the sunless day
          When wind is in the deadly East, then in the bitter rain
          When wind is in the deadly East, then in the bitter rain
I'll            look for you, and call to you, and I'll come to you again
          I'll look for you, and call to you, and I'll come to you again and I'll            come to you again...

He was banned for evading his previous chill pill and creating an alt - not for his wonderful sense of humour.

I don't think you understand the clock crew. An organised group like the CC voting on one specific movie is not the same as idiots in general voting 5 on movies. Their opinion is just as valid as yours. They don't all decide to vote 5 on one thing, they just enjoy specific types of movies and vote 5, which is completely allowed. This isn't so much a matter of NG rules, but morality in general.

And now, to lighten the thread further, a nice picture of a sweet boat race!

I honestly don't see the problem with mass voting something into the top 50.  In the past, I've seen mass vote called on things that were genuinely funny, yet horrendously animated.  It's not like they even last either, once we stop fiving them, they get buried again.  I think it's funny to say that we pumped something from a low 1 or 2 to a 4+ and got it up there, at least for a day or two.

On the subject of mass voting clock submissions.  I don't know about you guys, but for me I've never been uuber worried about the quality of something as long as it makes me laugh.  So even if it's a work of total spam, if I find it funny, I'm going to five it.

I really don't see what the issue is here, the CC has mass voted for ages, why would that change now?  If you don't like it, then don't do it, don't try to force your opinions on others.

Finally, I have nothing against Renegade and hope he returns, I've seen some great stuff from him in the past and it is sad to see him go.  I'm not entirely sure about the whys of all this, but it seems that the whole situation is being blown madly out of proportions and we all just need to cool our jets.

At least it's all a lot more civil than when Tree DD'd himself.  Shit hit the internet fan, then.

[CelticKnotClock]

I see someone mention Corpsey in this thread and now Tree?
what happened here?
