How bout a review for a newcomer?
I'm holding back the urge to post more, I'll wait for a review lol.
Mmhm.
Check it outttt. I write muzicx.
Copy and paste from my old blocked thread:
Hey everybody! So a couple of weeks ago, I got fl studio 9 and I've composed some stuff... Personnally, I don't think it's that good.... *sniffle*
So maybe you guys could give a little critique, help a guy out, point out the oh-so-many mistakes in these pieces?
Much appreciated.
Let it all be a dream

Hey guys, can I get a review on this? Thanks!
Sorry for being a day late, but here we have update #75. Generally it's a pretty quiet week in terms of reviewing. SCTE3 as usual managed to review all the requests, which saved us from getting quite a few requests without a review, and other members such as the two new members, Coop and I pitched in a bit to help out. The max amount of RRC reviews on a request was four but then again the minimum was one.
Outside of reviewing, the week isn't as quiet. We lost two members, EpicFail and CurvyPixel, unfortunately, but with those two lost members we gained two members - Nomader, a new member, and sixflab, an old member rejoining. Regarding milestones, we finally reached 2,000 requests, which is a pretty big number. This update is #75, which is, like, 3/4 of 100, if you can call that a milestone...
So anyway, now that that's over, enjoy the update. I rushed this one because I have stuff to do and finished it in around 20 minutes only so there might be some stupid mistake or two here and there. If so, point it out so I can fix the spreadsheets and facepalm.
Without further ado, the update...

Again i'm a litte dissapointed that I couldn't review more. Especially since it wasn't too large of a list either. But this week's list also isn't too big so I could make more headway on getting back to that fifth place position I occupied for so long before :P
Alright, hopefully this Thursday I'll be able to tackle a good number, I should have a good bit of free time. Stupid essays (grumble college grumble). Thanks for the welcomes everyone!

Oof, not as many as I'd have liked to do. Hopefully this week I'll get the chance to do a good rush of reviews, I'm pretty disappointed I only got three done.

He possibly removed them around the same time he cleared flash from his account.

Seems like a good idea to me. Having a first post with a bunch of broken links doesn't help much. Nice find btw. I never even noticed they were missing.
Can you please review this audio?
leg in one hand, brerb in the other
i worked really hard on this one

I could add some to the list next week if you want me to. I can easily go find some stuff with no reviews on them. :P
If you've got some that need reviewing and will supply us with a constant stream of responses, then I'd be very grateful.

I'll let you see for yourself. Don't let my opinion sway you, it's down to what you think.
I made a sad song. Anyone want to give it a listen?
Well I realize this is basically the audio review request club now. Which is why I don't post here anymore, I know you guys would rather review flash and don't wanna bother you with moar audio. But I have this thing that I never got any sort of response on (not that I tried very hard) which is laughably simple and shouldn't take you too long.
At 3/25/11 04:39 PM, SCTE3 wrote: Not going to guarantee that they will gives responses but they are all pieces with under 50 reviews. Actually you could find those any day coming right out of the portal as well. But yea, would you like me to add some to the list next week so we have some flash to review? Along with art?
Sounds good. I think I'm speaking for everyone when I say that we all like variety in our requests.

Looking for a few reviews, I'll gladly review in return (As long as the review is at least a tiny bit helpful, I hate "I love it!" or "I hate it!" reviews).

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 FattyWhale for maintaining it for so long. Thanks also to Sonofkirk for starting this new thread and doing many updates.
Have fun!

I was referred here by daethdrain after a request for people to play my game in the general forum. Go ahead and laugh.
I'm not at all sure if an outside site hosting my game falls within the bounds for this thread, so I'm tentatively requesting feedback on my game. I'm using Game Maker, and it'll only let me export the game in exe format.
You'll have to download it here in order to play it. I am aware of the inherent distrust of exe files, so I am in the market for a cheap version of flash so I can finally start submitting my games here.
If anyone sees this, please let me know what you think of it.
@SCTE3 I thought as much. Was worth a shot. Really can't wait to get flash.
