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!

A unfinished work in progress of a housey/trance track.
I'm allready an established/Major signed producer so I'm not sure if anybody would be able to give feedback.
But feel free to express how much you love/hate it!

So you're going through and getting the new requests done before the update containing them has even been released? That's one hell of a way to stay ahead of the game!
Got all the requests done today (and I double checked, so I'm pretty sure I didn't miss a request). Hopefully the update will come soon, can't wait to see the 100% completion next to my name again. ^^
Surf Nazis must die! || Wi/Ht? #38
Hello old review request club :) got a new song which I'd really like some feedback on :)
thanks in advance!
Hey RRC, could you review my song? It's a remix for a competition on Beatport. Thanks!
I'd really like to get this one reviewed by some people for next week. This will be my 2nd song this week posted in the forum.
I'd appreciate your guys' awesome criticism on this track :)
Request: I'd love some feedback on my most recent submission, Samurai Warrior. Here is the link:
Thank you to whomever in advance. :)
Hi guys, I have this track pushing in 10mins.
It's a great mix of ambient/ uplifting trance/ chillout/ and orchestral.
I think you will like it a lot.
Here is a link:
Review my animation:
I gave the 2D a childish style, just so you know :D
Please review :3
Thanks!
Hey!
Well i know, i know, i were part of this club but i didn´t make anything, i love what you guys do, and i tried to join too, but soon i realized that i wouldn´t have the enough time to do it, in fact, i´m not made for this, but you are, so i hope you review this, but what i really want is that you guys enjoy my song, i´m not part of the crew but i´ll review some of the submission here, because i like too.

No pressure!
Your education is more important. Good luck at college though!

Nah no worries, update doesn't take too long, and it's our one hundredth, celebrating over 100 weeks of RRC, so I shouldn't be late :P.
And here it is - let me start by saying that this is what I'm talking about :D. 5 100% completions, one nearly 80%, another nearly 60% and another nearly 30%. We made an effort to make this a great update, and our efforts certainly paid off. The stats have rocketed up, with an Average per Request of over 6.50 and an Average per Member of 11.30. The maximum amount of RRC reviews on a request was 7.
To add to the list of good news, Coop just managed to pass 8,000 total points, so that's one great milestone. Haggard is 65 points away from the same milestone, SCTE3 is a bit less than a 100 points away from 5,000 total points and we're 50 reviews away from 8,000 total reviews, all milestones which can be achieved in one week with enough effort.
Like in all great updates there still is bad news - Xenophaje has left the club due to inactivity :(. Also, SkyeWintrest and NimblekidX may join him because they're starting to approach their inactivity limit and 6 RRC sigs were left out. But that last part is hardly bad news.
The good news certainly outweighs it all - only two people were inactive, many reviews were made, milestones have been/are about to be reached, and the stats are remarkably good. Overall, a hugely successful 100th update, don't you think? ;D
Enjoy the update, and good luck with the next batch!

You guys have been quite helpful when reviewing my songs in the past. So once again, my newest song was overlooked, and because of that I didn't get any feedback, meaning I don't really know if I'm doing it right, what I should improve, etc.

Wow, that's really great. Sorry for being the 30%' er, but I still think it's really great for me, because the audio took 55% of the list last time.

Haggard is 65 points away from the same milestone, SCTE3 is a bit less than a 100 points away from 5,000 total points and we're 50 reviews away from 8,000 total reviews, all milestones which can be achieved in one week with enough effort.
Looks like a worthy 100th update.

Sigs Forgotten: 6
Are this the sigs that I didn't write under my reviews + 1?
The Review Request club, the Blammers List (update every 15th), and the Protectors List (Update every 1st). My sig has it all.

Good to see I'm back to over 50% completion rate. Also good to see the 100% next to my name once more. Luckily the list wasn't too big this time.

I guess there goes my 50% overall completion rate once again... :'(

Congrats on all the 100%'s this week guys!
Holy FUuu... that's a lot of audio requests x.x;
Wow! I'm glad I stumbled on this thread, as after just uploading my most recent composition, I was wondering how to get some exposure!
So anyway, here we go, kind of a chip tune with catchy(perhaps annoying) melodies!
Will appreciate and respond to every review that you guys(and girls) post!
Thanks very much!

Hey guys, it seems there's internet access here, but I may not be doing any reviews this week, since this isn't my computer I'm using anyways, so is it okay if I postpone the requests until after this week?

I don't really feel comfortable at the thought of using another person's computer for reviewing.
However, I think I'll review all flash / art requests after I finish my 'vacation'.
Slint approves of me! | "This is Newgrounds.com, not Disney.com" - WadeFulp

And I finished 9% of reviews the previous week. If no more requests come in then I'll quickly complete all flash and art requests to get the 10%.

Yes, it's been on my mind for some time now, but I had more important stuff to do. I try to do the update this week end or the following week.
