Thanks for the update, Shanus. I've just got back from my holiday, the first time I've had a holiday in about 10 years, though that doesn't really count that 6 month holiday I took to Leeds, when Ienrolled at the University...

I'm back into the swing of things today and I'm chasing down the 1,000 Reviews crew. Let's see if there are any good flash out there that are begging to be my 1,000th review...

all things on this page have been reveiwed
page 143:100% reveiwed

Interesting... but doesn't count for the updates. Only the requests that are posted in the update posts count towards your percentage. So please stop spamming this thread every time you "reviewed everything on page x".

And please put more thought into your reviews! One liners don't help the author at all! Tell them what you liked and what you didn't like. And tell them how they can improve the things you didn't like. Reviews like ""its pretty good" If only it were real..." don't help the author at all!

I'll defiently start doing that...So only those posted in the Shanus updates count?

thats a little more helpful for me to know...
Also there is a thread in general that was just getting shitty and still is...
However if i reveiw more I'll put more thought into then

your a great help Haggard

What if everyone got 100% one week and everyone recommended one? Lol. maybe if you have over 60% overall completion and 100% the previous week. So that very inactive users dont just suddenly do all the reviwes one week to recommend something.

I'm not sure we need that limitation. A "very inactive member" who did 100% for the last week could be coming back for real. We ought to encourage them, not wag our fingers.

As we're all recommending id like to recommend this audio to be reviewed lol - People Die - Knights Of 21 Oak

This is fun ^_^

But I'm glad to see that my suggestion has gotten legs. Yea!

To requestors - if you made a request within the past week and it is not listed below, I have made a mistake. I am, after all, only human. Let me know if the unthinkable has happened and I missed your request or got the link wrong.

To reviewers - this is the list of requests made between the last update and now. Haggard or Shanus will probably tally the points for these reviews on the 11th May. If you haven't already completed it, I suggest you first review some stuff from Shanus's list on page 143.

General Rules for Requesters:
If you are planning on requesting reviews, please do the following:
-Make no more than 3 requests within one week.
-Please respond to reviews.
-Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you request. Please be patient.
-Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
-DO NOT request without putting a link.
-DO NOT say "Review everything".
-DO NOT request reviews for the same submission more than once.

A lot of requests this week.

I split up Movies/games as the two are so different.

I've added the spotlight submissions - maybe Shanus or Haggard can suggest a guideline for maximum #reviews a submission should have for it to be a recommendation?

Plaintext version here.

Holy shit! I have to work REALLY hard to get them all done in time, as I'm going on a little vacation (ie I'm going to a festival :D ) from 8th to 11th of May... good thing that I already reviewed some of those...

I split up Movies/games as the two are so different.

I like that. Now it's better to see which requests probably take some more time to review (I usually spent more time with games...)

I've added the spotlight submissions - maybe Shanus or Haggard can suggest a guideline for maximum #reviews a submission should have for it to be a recommendation?

I don't care that much, to be honest, as long as I don't have to go through hundreds of pages, heh.
But to make it a little easier for the guys who'd like to make recommendations, I'd say a submission shouldn't have more than three pages of reviews.
Also that way submission that are somewhat unnoticed can get the recognition they deserve. Submissions that already won an award shouldn't be a spotlightsubmission either (most of the time those submissions have more than three pages of reviews anyway).

Yay. i was gone and i'm back i will do all requests this week. I PROMISE =D

Glad i reveiwed all of them so far.....also i have no requests of things to be reveiwed for the moment

Ok, so, it's like two weeks or more since I submitted, but I forgot about this crew of awesome people until now. Reviews will as always be appreciated and, um, yeah? <:)

Oh and the link of course : Oasis

27 Requests. All I can say is thankfully I'm back from my vacation and now I get to spend most of Monday catching up with this list :)

All reviews done!! And just in time for the update lol!

that makes us both 100% done in time for it

i just made this

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1 41636

I'll respond to all reveiws given

special request since i already reveiwed 100% given so far..

thanks

At 5/3/08 11:51 AM, sistem69 wrote: Can I join ur club?

Welcome!

I recommend you start by reviewing the stuff listed in my recent post.

I looked at your reviews though and hope you don't mind me saying you could improve your reviews somewhat. Firstly, make sure you're using the entire range of scores - not just 0/5/10. This lets authors know more clearly how much you actually like/dislike their stuff.

Secondly, when reviewing, you could perhaps cite some specific examples? Even if you loved everything, give one or two examples of something you liked. Saying, "Graphics were great! The explosion when the giant was killed and the wiggling on the ghost were specially awesome!" can be a lot more rewarding to an author than just saying, "Graphics were great!". By making praise somewhat specific, it can be made more meaningful.

And if you're not too keen on the movie or game, citing SPECIFIC criticisms/suggestions for improvement become extremely pertinent.

Having a link is greatly appreciated, but was never obligatory.

On a somewhat related note, I've noticed that everyone else seems to link to page one. Surely linking to the latest page (stick in /999) is more sensible - so folk can immediately see the newer rules and lists?

If you're talking about the 'spotlight submissions', those are recommendations rather than requests. I don't think they necessarily get any extra reviews. I'm not sure if mixing the recommendations with requests is the best thing to do, but open the floor here.

Nonsense. Requests are completed on a strictly voluntary basis. If you don't complete them all, that should be of no concern to the individual requester. I don't think that there should be a maximum or a minimum on requests, as when we get good weeks, these will mean that we get a good chance to spread the word about the Club.

Hi there i really like writing reviews for flashes can i join please thanks.

SoulMaster71 here, requesting to join the Review Request Club! I've been wanting to get back at reviewing recently, and this seems the perfect place to get back into it.

Hi, welcome to the club! Your reviews look very good, no complaints here. ^^ Just keep it up!

Start with reviewing the requests Bezman posted on page 145 of this thread and tell us next sunday how many points you made. You will then be included to the list.

Points:
**Please also keep track of your own points. If you see something missing, I probably made a mistake**
**To be on the list, you must make at least one review, posters only will not be counted**
5 points for a review on a requested movie/game
7 points for a review on a requested audio
+1 point for putting "Review Request Club" at the bottom of a requested review
3 points for posting at least once throughout the week
5 points for referring a new member (must mention you in first post)
7 points for reviewing all requests for that week

Well said. The club should just be focused on getting out reviews to those who appreciate them and feel their submissions were overlooked - just like Agak stated in post 1 - stats are of secondary concern.

Not that I don't respect you folk who've managed to retain a 100% completion rate whilst also giving great feedback.

At 5/4/08 04:27 PM, phantomlassuk wrote: Hi there i really like writing reviews for flashes can i join please thanks.

Sure - as Haggard said to Soulmaster, just start by reviewing the requests in the list above, then let us know how many you reviewed sometime before next Sunday night.

At 5/4/08 05:40 PM, phantomlassuk wrote: do you also need to put that in your sig thanks.

What's in your sig is up to you, but as you can see from mine, I approve of linking to the last page.

As long as you review, that's great. :-)
