I'm going to join this nifty club here. Don't bother with telling me how it works, though; I've already lurked around. Thanks.

Welcome! Is it safe to assume that you understand the rules and how things work here? If you're not sure about anything, check out my post near the bottom of page 162. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Someone here will be glad to walk you through any questions. :)

Just like I could have gotten points for reffering you? I don't know if you were going to join anyway, but I still say that I reffered you. XP

Well you did refer me, but doesn't it say in the rules that I have to mention it in my first post or something. If it doesn't matter then, yes Metal-Therapy did refer me over AIM. If your allowed go ahead and add the points next time you give your totals.

Nah, it's not a big deal, I was just kidding. If I really wanted to get points for reffering you then I would have said so in my point totals for that week.
Glad to see another new member, though. Good job getting the word out, Cork.

Yes you do get points for that... unless of course, I forgot to add them, so telling me on early Monday/late Sunday in a PM that you get referral points is advisable. ;)

I'd like to get some thoughts on my latest song "Heal"
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1 56913

It's a remix, and I made it into a progressive trance song. I usually don't make trance, nor do I make progressive music. So this is a first for me. Any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks in advanced!

Well, I love reviewing songs. Mostly trance, techno, dance, etc. But I do review the occasional Ambiance and Hip-hop songs.

I'm not sure if there is an 'approval' for someone to join the Review Request Club, so I guess I'll start reviewing what ever is thrown this way.

*inserts generic, slightly altered welcome message.* :P

Great! Welcome guys! If you would like to join here, then just simply start by reviewing the request list posted by Haggard on Page 162. It's the current list for this week, you have till this coming Sunday to finish it.
Besides reviewing, the only other thing you have to do is add up and post your points here in this thread once your finished writing the reviews.
You get points for writing reviews, and for other things as well. You can see how many points you have total, along with how many reviews you've done and you percentage rate, among other things, once your name is added to the user list. (You can also find this list in the same post I linked to above.)
1. Here is a key for tallying up your points when the time comes
You get...
5 points for every movie/game request reviewed
7 points for every audio request reviewed
+7 points if you do ALL the requests for the current week
+3 points for posting here throughout the week
and +1 point for EACH review you write "Review Request Club" in. (You can look at my reviews for an exapmle, if you wish. :) ) -You don't NEED to write it in your reviews, you just get an extra point for it. :P
I think that about covers everything. I know its a lot to take in all at once, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I, or any other member here will be glad to help walk you through anything you need help with. Have fun!

Oh, and both of your guy's reviews look pretty good to me. It's great to see more potentially great new members!
And on a side note. Like I said, you guys can start on the list I linked to in my previous post, if you want. But it's a big list, and it's due THIS Sunday. You guys just might be better off waiting until this coming Sunday for the new list to be made. (Bezman, one of our fine memebrs, usually makes an update around this time of week, too.)
You've still got time, so as far as I know it's up to you. :)

Once again, any questions, feel free to ask away. :P

To requestors - if you made a request since my last list and it is not listed below, I have made a mistake. Let me know if I missed your request or got the link wrong.
If you make a request after this post, it won't be included until next Thursday/Friday's update.

To reviewers - this is the list of requests made between my last update and now. It's a 'preview' of the list that will be posted on Sunday or Monday - Haggard or Shanus will probably tally the points for these reviews in 10 days time - on the 20th/21st July. If you haven't already completed them, I suggest you first review some stuff from Haggard's list on page 162.

General Rules for Requesters:
If you are planning on requesting reviews, please:
- Make no more than 3 requests within one week.
- Respond to reviews.
- Be patient. 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 posting a link.
- Do NOT just say "Review everything" or just link to your profile.
- Do NOT request reviews for the same submission more than once.

Movie Requests:(2)
MSC 3 by Anto (AntoArts-Admin)

Spotlighted Recommendations:
Loop: Bass Loop AL by A L (AoLun)

You get points for reviewing recommendations as if they were requests.
You may make a recommendation if you reviewed 100% of the previous weeks requests and recommendations. It should be over 3 days old and have under 50 reviews.

Plaintext version here.

New Spotlight rules. (over 3 days old/under 50 reviews).

There were a few folk who requested reviews but only linked to their profiles. As the rules state, that's not allowed.

I'll add them to the list this time.

But in future, please ask the original submitter to request the reviews. I think it's good for submitters to see the thread themselves and it looks good when more names are posting in here.

Welcome to the club, both of you.

Always great to have more reviewers on board!

The list above is 'due for' 10 days time, so if you start with that list, you'll be able to stay ahead. If you feel up to it, review Haggard's list for Sunday though.

Love you.

Alright, I will give him a PM sometime and tell him to request his own for now on.

On another note I love how many audio reviews are coming in each week. I'm really getting my audio review count up from what it use to be. I want to get them up to where my flash reviews are.

Sure thing!

*looks at reviews.

hmm... the sign-off seems familiar...

Anyway, I'd suggest you maybe try to be more specific when making criticisms.

Rather than saying a song "was just all over the place." or you 'just didn't feel it', maybe try to think about what in particular turned you off. Was it the lack of variation? The fact that it wasn't evocative enough? That the mixture of styles didn't mesh together?

Try for a bit more clarity.

Also, even with a song you like, try to make a suggestion if you can and even with a song you hate, try to give some praise - authors have feelings too! ;-)

Anyways, it'd be great to have you on board and I suggest you start by reviewing the submissions in the list above over the next week, then posting within the next 9 days to state how many you reviewed from that list and how many points you're due.

There's a new list each week but you can also just review stuff as folk request them if you're already ahead.

Can someone please screen the submissions before they are put on the request list? I know it doesn't happen often but when someone wants something they know is spam reviewing, it's just annoying and well, a waste of time.

I'd like to see spam requests like this one rejected from the list.

In my opinion a good reviewer will even review spam submissions like regular submissions. Of course that's just my opinion and I actually do find some spam to be funny and entertaining. Of course I didn't find the submission that you linked to funny in any way, but who are we to say that a submission isn't review worthy or that it is just spam. You never know. What you consider spam someone else may like. The whole situation is opinion.

I'm not saying all spam but something as obvious as that, I mean that flash doesn't have any value, I've seen other flash submitted as requests with no value as well as audio. It's like you might as well just say "Improve on everything, nothing in this is worth watching." that's pretty much all reviews on spam say, just with more padding :x

Points for week-ending July 13th, 2008

11/11 M/G: 66 pts
15/15 Audio: 120 pts

+7 pts for reviewing all requests
+3 pts for posting

TOTAL: 196 pts

(+1 point for including RRC in reviews included in totals)

Well, by looking at some other people's point posts, it looks like I'm the only one who knows how to use a calculator here again this week... -_-

unless of course some people forgot RRC in their reviews, or something. In that case, I APOLOGIZE! ;p

I am SO glad to be done with that bloody list. I was going to reply to Little-Rena's post about screening spam submissions, but I'm too sick of typing at the moment. Maybe later... ;p
..Long story short, I have mixed feelings about it. :/

Hey guys, I'm currently working on the list that Bezman put up yesterday. Really taking at least 10 minutes per review.

While I was doing this, I started wondering how many people are in this club? And is there a list of the all-time top people somewhere?

Thanks

Yes there is. You can see it on Haggard's list update on Page 162.

Thanks
