I'm really sad to read this as I always liked your submissions. I think I understand your point of view, but as others have stated, right now we are simply overrun by audio requests (over 30 new requests in just one week!), so it's impossible for most of us to keep up with the reviewing.

I didn't realize a thread like this existed. Cool.

I should note that the only reason I am posting 2 submissions is because it is technically one movie divided into two parts. Whoever reviews it can just leave their review on the page for the second part. Thanks.

These are old, but I worked really hard on them and they don't have many reviews.

Thanks in advance.

GUESS WHAT. I managed to finish this requests list in only five minutes!

Mich made an AMAZING Requests List maker (whoever wants the link to it can PM me) which just requires you to copy/paste the links and it does all the HTML for you. It saves over an hour of work!

Right then, a much better requests list than last time. A decent amount of Flash/Art, and although naturally there are loads more Audio Requests, there are very little Extra Audio Requests and at this rate we shouldn't have such a busy week next time.

Enjoy reviewing! The update will come in another 16 hours or so... Or on Monday/Tuesday if I don't have time.

Heyoo, its sunday. I only got 3 reviews done with 3 tags

Response to Review Request Club 2010-11-07 09:15:34


Hi, weekly post here!

I got your message about how people shoudn't post requests every week, or at least not for every post they make. I totaly agree about it, and yet I'm the guy that has posted a request every single week since august...

And yet the reason I do this is because at least half of my submissions have been underrated in my point of view...

Worry not though, for my long streak of requests is soon coming to an end.

This week, one of my most underrated songs, that I paradoxaly find one of my best work:

Long live the RRC!

Cheers,
Samuel Hébert

Response to Review Request Club 2010-11-07 18:32:46


As promised, here's that update.

An OK update this time. Like last time, SeeD419 saved the list again this time, since if he didn't review any, then we'd be left with 19 requests which haven't been reviewed, so good job SeeD :3. That being said, Rory and LogicalDefiance, two audio reviewers, have joined the club (they didn't post their points but because of our current lack of members, I thought I could close one eye). LogicalDefiance did three detailed reviews, and Rory did a somewhat impressive eleven helpful reviews.

Not to mention that Coop83 is only a few points away from the 7000 total points milestone with Haggard a few points behind. None of the RRC signatures were forgotten, by the way. Except SeeD who forgets them on purpose :P.

Still, we've lost two members. Makeshift, and Domo... again xD. Also, there were a number of inactive members this week, a little more than usual. And man I haven't reviewed for a while...

Anyhow, that's all the comments for this week. Enjoy the update.

Response to Review Request Club 2010-11-07 18:34:21


NOTE - READ THESE RULES, EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY READ THE RULES IN THE FIRST POST. THEY ARE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE RULES IN THE FIRST POST AND THEY HAVE NEW IMPORTANT RULES!

Hello! Welcome to the new Review Request Club thread. This thread is meant to give the club a fresh start and make it a pleasant place to stay. In order to do this, it goes without saying that you must follow the regular BBS rules and read the C&C Advice Thread before posting if you are new to this forum.

This club aims to increase the exposure of the most under-rated Newgrounds music, art and flash artists. The other major purpose of the club is to offer the Newgrounds artists high quality feedback so they can constantly improve their work.

To the requesters:
Every Newgrounds user is allowed to request a review as soon as he submitted something. To get your work reviewed, don't post here without thinking but follow these few rules:

- Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
- Make no more than 3 Flash and Art requests between two updates (that's one week), and no more than 3 Audio Requests between 5 updates (that's four weeks).
- Please respond to reviews, reviewers like it and some of them are statwho... oh wait, interested in stats.
- Be patient. Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you requested, or if you requested more than 1 Audio submission, you may not see reviews on your second submission up until 3 weeks after you requested, and you may not see reviews on your third submission up until 4 weeks after you requested.
- Do NOT request without posting a link, be kind, reviewers are not robots.
- Do NOT simply say "Review everything" or just link to your profile.
- Do NOT request reviews for the same submission more than once.
- Do NOT request reviews for a submission with over 50 reviews.
- Do NOT request reviews for spam. Spam is only there to annoy, not to be critically analyzed.
- Unless you are a club member, only request reviews for YOUR OWN submissions.

To the reviewers:
If you want to join the club and complete requests, simply post in the thread saying you would like to join. Then, regular members will go through your reviews and determine if they are good enough to be part of the club. Your reviews are required to be helpful, developed and well-organised. If you need help with writing good reviews, read Fro's guide to writing helpful reviews.

Once you are accepted, you can start reviewing stuff. If you are a new member of the club, once you understand how the point system works, please post - one or two days before the update - the total points you've earned during the week. This is considered as a sort of application form, and if you fail to do so, you will NOT be added to the club.

Points System:
List updaters will keep track of each member's points in order to build a list. You don't need to post your points before each update but you can keep track of your score on your own so any error can be fixed. This is how points are counted:

5 points for a review on a requested submission (movie, game, art, or audio).
1 point for writing "Review Request Club" at the bottom of a requested review.
3 points for posting at least once throughout the two weeks.
5 points for referring a new member (must mention you in first post).
7 points for reviewing all requests/recommendations between two updates.

Club Updates:
Each Sunday or Monday, a list of all the members is created, counting up their points, featuring various stats and posting a list of requested submissions. Assuming you review the submissions in that list, you will get points for them accordingly in the following members' update, around a week later.

Don't forget the lists are built and updated by humans so it may be possible the update is delayed due to various real life reasons. If it ever occurs, don't get mad; calm down and wait :).

Frequently Asked Questions:

Should we have an FAQ?
I don't know. It kinda seems like overkill.

Why a new thread?
The main idea was to give the club a new and fresh start. Since the old one was flooded by requests and not updated any more, the RRC regulars thought creating a new thread would be best for the club.

Should I link to the club in my forum signature?
There's no obligation to do so, but it's certainly appreciated. Remember that you can put a high number in place of the page number in the URL and if that page doesn't exist yet, Newgrounds will take you to the latest page, whatever it is. For example, "http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/107 2042/999" will take you to the latest page of this club.

RRC Signature?
Yes, at the end of each review, if you want you can write down 'Review Request Club'. There is no obligation to do so, but you'll get +1 point if you put the RRC signature in your review. You can add anything you want to it, E.G.: *Review Request Club*, |Review Request Club|, -Review Request Club-, etc, but as long as 'Review Request Club' is clearly written, you will get the point. You are also allowed to add the sig in any reviews other than requests in this club, as long as you are a club member yourself. It's all the more exposure for the club, and it's very much appreciated.

+1 point if I put the RRC signature in my review... I'm not sure if I get it correctly.
You gain 6 points for a review on a request with "Review Request Club" in the end of it, as opposed to 5 points if you hadn't added the signature at the end. If it's still not clear, read this.

Does the Review Request Club review for non-NG stuff?
No. It must be an NG submission. If you have a non-NG submission which you would like us to review, then use your common sense and upload it to NG. Also, we will only review using the 'Write a Review' method on submissions. We won't send reviews by PM, review in your newspost or review in any particular thread of yours.

Do I have to review all the requests?
No you don't have to, just do your best :). Though completing them all will give you 7 extra points.

Which requests should I review?
If you want to get points for the next member's update, look for the latest requests list in the club thread and review the requests from that list. If you review any requests from various posts in the thread which would have been posted after the latest requests list, you will be getting points for the member's update after the next one.

can u review allz mah flashz guise? kthxbai.
No.

If you have more questions, feel free to post about it in the thread or PM a member and if your question is frequently asked, it'll be added to the FAQ.

---

That's all about the club, though this new version of the club couldn't be opened without mentioning the old thread regulars who have made it a great place to spend time. Kudos to Freelance-Magician for creating the original club and to milinko959 for maintaining it for so long. Thanks also to Sonofkirk for starting this new thread and doing many updates.

Have fun!

By the way, you guys wouldn't mind reviewing this, will you? It's a remix of ParagonX9's ridiculously popular song, Chaoz Fantasy.

I haven't requested here in a while and I miss RRC reviews :P. But if we get a busy week this time I'll be sure to exclude it from the requests list so that we won't have too much to do.

Gah, sorry for the triple post.

Awesome news Steph! Anything to take a load off the work you have to do for the club is great. Make's it more fun and less tiresome.

Right then, a much better requests list than last time.

Much better indeed.

Haha, I do what I can. Hopefully we can get some others up to speed before I get burnt out ;) I suppose it's inevitable, but I'd like to maintain an 100% as long as I can.

I don't know what it is that makes me not want to put that in there. I just feel like I could leave at any moment and I'd forever have the RRC plastered on my reviews even though I wouldn't be a member anymore, lol. That and I suppose I feel if I write it in there it's like the only reason I came to the submission was because they requested it, which doesn't seem as genuine. I suppose that's like the times where someone was reminded to tell you happy birthday right in front of you...doesn't mean as much, lol. If none of this makes any sense, that's because it doesn't and I'm crazy :P

Nice reviews, Rory. I always see yours on the submissions I'm reviewing. Very helpful and well written. Reviewing audio is definitely your forte.

Looks like I was busy reviewing as you were busy updating - I managed to get a rare audio review done yesterday, but that's okay - I'll see if I can double up this week, instead.

A decent list this time around, so I'll focus on getting some coverage for reviews across the board this time around :)

Thanks for the update, Steph.

Haha, sure thing FidgetFrenzy ;) Glad you could stop by.

Steph will throw your song in the next request list. If you're interested in doing some reviewing with us, read the rules and get a feel for how the club works first. Your reviews aren't terrible, but could use some improvement. You can read one of the guides in the links provided for some tips, or just make sure you spend a good amount of time giving constructive criticism in the future =)

Absolutely. Your reviews look great. Hop to it! *cracks whip*

Okay, maybe the whip was a bit excessive...but yes, go right ahead ;)

And if both of you decide to write some reviews for the current request list, be sure to tally up your points before the next update at some point, until you are added to the list - You can find out how to do this in Stephs super long rules post. Happy reviewing to the both of ya!
