Perhaps I could get a review on my two latest audio submissions? Its all about Pico.

ch chchch check it out

Do you get points for putting the address of the form on a non-requested review (I like to review games /movies in the flash portal)?

So, I think Shanus will do the update this Sunday, did I get this right? ^^
If he doesn't update on Sunday, I will definatly do it on Monday.
Maybe we can make an arrangement: Shanus takes over the club as "prime updater", and if he doesn't update on Sunday, I will update on Monday as a "secondary updater".

That seems perfectly fine to me. As there will be some sundays when I will just wanna pass out from tiredness :P but yeah perfect. And if things aren't done by Monday we'll sort something out :D

It was just soem simple stuff I learned a long time ago before I even left secondary school. I might do a complete "marco" type spread sheet at a later date, just all depends on my mood and/or if mylaptop crashes :P

Whew! I've completed reviews for everything requested since Shanus' update on page 139. Counting the few I did before my first post, my score is 220.

Flash Reviews: 18 * 5 + 13 with [Review Request Club] = 103
Audio Reviews: 14 * 7 + 9 with [Review Request Club] = 107
Special Points: 3 + 7 = 10

I feel winded. As a writing exercise, it's been quite challenging to write something meaningful for everything I could read. Beforehand I wouldn't write anything if nothing came to mind, but since finding this club I'd search for something I could honestly say for each submission. I hope the quality of my reviews hasn't suffered much.

I'm giving myself a break now. Ciao!

The review request club is like not going to well(i think) usually i got from like 8 to 11 reviews for every submission I requested now i have only 3......
can anyone explain this?

Just a small drop off in the 100% club. Obviously we've lost milinko, so that's one review gone. I'm guessing that Shanus, Haggard and Little-Rena will ahve given you some reviews bafore the end of today. We've just got to maybe trim the members down to make the updates easier and see if we can encourage people to review more. I think the newbies see people like me at the top, having reviewed all requests for months now and that my points total is maxing out every week, so no-one will ever catch me.

Now I know how Pimp feels :P

Well the week before last you requested reviews on Prelude pour la Gaieté and Swimming and someone forgot to add em to the list if i remember correctly and i was the only one who ended up reviewing them, check the date on my reviews.

I could totally catch you!! :P Eventually. Maybe...:(
I dont think thats why they're not doing it, the points chart cant be that important to them can it?

Well, now that I'm finally done with all requests you have one review more. ;)
It's been a busy week for me, so I could review as fast as I wished I could.

Has anyone ever done a demographic survey of NGers, I wonder? I just noticing, um, how many people here are teens (surprise!), making me feel my age. Even TomFulp is younger than me! yoinks! Not that there's anything wrong with youth, but I'm surely not the only greybeard here, am I?

Quite a random place to ask, but I'll answer anyway. :P
No, you're not the only "oldie" around here. I - for example - am already 26 (which still is 9 years younger than you :P, but isn't quite "teen" anymore, too ) and Recon Rebel is already 43. There are a few other users who are 40 and older and a lot users who are 30 and older.

Ok, that's a relief, I suppose. Thanks.

Yeah, I suppose it was a random place, but I felt I would ask where I most knew the other posters. I'll try to stay on-topic from now on. Like, we can only include Flash or music for which reviews were requested for points, right? But I could dig into older requests for more stuff?

Also, I've been wondering about the Blam and Protection points. I figured I'd contribute votes and reviews for stuff under judgement to get some of those points, but it hasn't worked out. Is that because I've had poor judgement or bad luck, or am I simply going about it the wrong way?

You're welcome. ;)

Fair enough. But there's a great forum for those kind of questions, the Where is/How to?. Most people there are very nice and very helpful. Plus, you'll meet some of the nicest users of NG there. Not that people in this club aren't nice, but not all of the nice Wi/Ht-users are here :P

You can review some older stuff if you'd like to, but you'll only get points for the stuff on the most recent list. Or else it would be VERY hard for the updater to keep track of the points.

Also, I've been wondering about the Blam and Protection points. I figured I'd contribute votes and reviews for stuff under judgement to get some of those points, but it hasn't worked out. Is that because I've had poor judgement or bad luck, or am I simply going about it the wrong way?

You now have 6 blams and 16 saves, so whatever you do, it seems to be right. ;)
But you don't have to review "under judgement"-stuff to recieve B/P-points. You just have to vote.
If you vote 0-1 and the submission is blamd, you'll get a blam point, if you vote 2-5 and the submission is saved, you'll get a protection point. There are no other ways to get those points.
If you gather enough points, you will ascend to the next rank. You can view a complete list of the ranks and how many B/P-points you need to get there here

I would like to say thank you to ta2ce and MacGuges for taking the time and reviewing my 3D animations. Just one question about MacGuges review, how would I go about anti-aliasing the pictures?

All reviews completed, just in the nick of time too i suppose, i was really not bothered doing em this week but they had to be done. Must keep up my 100% score. :P

You do know that there were 18 requests in the last update? Not that you need to do 100%, but I thought I'd mention it in case it was an oversight.

Um..on the 139 page those games/videos to review that Shanus posted are only 16...Or am i counting wrong?

Well on my actual stat post list thing I've got 18. But you won;t be on this weeks list. But your points still carry so don;t worry. I'll give you a little while to post your points as the updates ahve been a bit screwy.Oh same stands for MacGuges, you've got your points but wont be on the update.

And the update will be soon, don't worry :D

I'm sorry, I don't know how you'd do that. The exact steps would certainly depend on your 3d modeling software, but I haven't any experience with that myself. You'd be better off asking in the Art forum, or a forum for your modeling software.

But in case you're unclear about what anti-aliasing means, I'll briefly explain that. Anti-aliasing is a computer graphics technique that uses color depth to soften the edges. Without anti-aliasing, when the computer draws a diagonal black line on white it would find each pixel the line would pass through and paint it black. Often the human eye can make out the points formed by the rectangular black pixels next to white space, which distracts from the perception of a perfect, smooth line. Since modern monitors can display millions of different colors simultaneously, it's become practical to calculate unique color values for edge pixels. This is anti-aliasing. The anti-aliasing algorithm first requires that a square multiple of pixels (such as 2x2) be rendered for each display pixel.
A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 (3 display pixels)
A3 A4 B3 B4 C3 C4 -> A' B' C'
Then the color value for each display pixel is calculated by averaging its square set of rendered pixels. The greater the ratio of rendered pixels to display pixels, the smoother the effect of anti-aliasing.

What this means for you, naturally, is you need to configure anti-aliasing for the rendering stage of your project.

I've been away for what seems like weeks now and I haven't made any new songs, been busy as hell. However...I think I'll still be part of the club. I'll try being active again sometime in May. Not like it makes a difference since I'm not well-known here, but sorry : D

Could I get reviews on the song "Intensity of the Chase"??

*Ahem*

I forgot to mention in your post this:

General Rules for Requesters:
-Please do us a favor and respond to reviews if you request them.
-Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you request.
-Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
-DO NOT request without putting a link, I don't have the time or patience to get the links myself.

To make things easier...

Intensity of the Chase.

Hey guys, just checking up. Haven't been here in a while. Sorry for not reviewing.

But yeah sorry guys, I'll be editing the Spreadsheet this week I think, just to make it do all the work, but again apologises, just gotta get my laptop working now :(

Yes, I read this. ^^

I will begin with the update in a few minutes. Don't know how long it will take me as I've some other things to do right now. But it will be done today! (except for when my PC crashes... ^^)

Phew, finally done with the update. Shanus, your spreadsheet was a BIG help!

I added a new rule, concerning the inactivity of users. See details below and please tell me what you think of it.

That list is inacturate because it was made before the update should have been released. I requested a flash on page 141, I don't want it to be over looked, need a new updated request list.

Okay, here's an update list, hope I've not missed any, also one of the flash on the previous list was deleted, so that's fixed with this one. But I would suggest putting an updated on on the update post and not keeping them seperate, it's very confusing.

Don't worry, it will not be overlooked. The whole idea of posting the requests-list a few days before the update is to give people a whole week (and more) time to do the requests. If we include the list in the update post, people will have less than a week time to do all the requests.

Bezman will catch up with the requests-list from where he posted the last one, so your request will be on the list next week...

I've just posted an updated list, it's very messy when you leave request for two updates.
