CLUB INFO
...............................

General Rules for Requesters:
If you are planning on requesting reviews, please:
- Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
- Make no more than 3 requests within one week.
- Do us a favour and respond to our reviews.
- Be patient. Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you request.
- 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.

General Rules for New Reviewers:
If you are planning on completing requests, please do the following:
- Post in this thread to let us know you'd like to join.
- Understand the points system and keep track of your own score. You will only be added to the list if you post your own score within the first week.

Points:
**Please also keep track of your own points. If you see something missing, it's probably 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/recommendations for that week

Club updates
Each Sunday or Monday, Haggard or Shanus currently create a list of all the members, counting up their points, calculating various stats and posting a list of requested submissions. Assuming you review the submissions listed, you will get points for them on the following members' update, 6 or 7 days later.

On Thursday, Bezman currently creates a list of all requests and recommendations made up until then, since the previous thursday. This can be seen as a 'preview' of the list that will accompany the following members' update on Sunday/Monday. The points for these are tallied 10 days later.

Requests made between the 'preview list' and the 'members' update' carry over to the next preview list. So you will always have over 9 days to finish the reviews. (Feel free to review submissions as soon as they are requested!)

FAQ
Should we have a FAQ?
I don't know. It kinda seems like overkill.

Should I link to the club in my sig?
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, NG will take you to the latest page, whatever it is.

So if you link to: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/4834 48/999
then anyone following that link will always see the latest page.

I don't understand what recommendations are all about!
As mentioned under this section in each list, '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.'

As long as your name is on the last 'All requests completed' list, feel free to recommend something you've enjoyed from the portal.

You could use this to let us know about something you think is specially awesome, yet overlooked. If there aren't many game or movie requests, maybe you could make a recommendation so we have something to review.

Does the Review Request Club review stuff for non-NG stuff?
Short answer: no.

Long answer: Milinko used to include youtube requests in the list of requests, but the introduction of a points system didn't leave room for such things. You can request reviews here, but some of us may not have accounts on Myspace/Youtube/whatever or may simply be disinclined to review things outside NG. It wouldn't get nearly as much attention compared to if it were a NG submission.

I'd suggest putting songs on the AP, then making a request that way. It lets us give feedback whilst staying on our favourite site. ;-)

Plaintext version here. If a new page hase begun and this info has not been posted yet, please copy the text in the link above and post it, thus keeping this info at the top of each page.

I'd like to apply for the club, as I enjoy writing reviews to help people out.

Review all my songs please.

Sorry, but you can only request three submissions at a time and you can't post a link to all of your submissions. You have to post three separate links to the song itself. For future reference you can find these rules on almost every page.

Hey guys, i mad a BLEACH animation, its pretty cool. Check it out?

A lot better then last week when we didn't have any flash submissions to review at all. Oh, and my Birthday Collab is in there. >:]

The ghost train by jim mas (xzomxbie)

Um, didn't we do this several weeks ago? I mean I already reviewed this submission awhile ago at least.

Audio Requests:(9)

A decent amount of audio reviews. This should mean that I will have over 320 audio reviews by the next update for the top 100 audio reviewers.

7. 2034 | 261/0261 | 100.00 | 16/16 | Corky52

I see I crossed 2,000 points in the club now. :) It's hard to believe that I have done 261 reviews that I probably wouldn't have done otherwise. Here is to 3,000 points and 300 reviews as my next goals here.

9. 1045 | 136/0600 | 022.67 | 00/16 | WritersBlock****

I'm sure being audio modded has taken any chances of WritersBlock from staying with the club anymore. Congrats on getting modded.

The usual. Too bad we couldn't get more people up here.

Additional Comments: Should we keep Bezman on the list, just as we did with Milinko?? Thoughts??

Hm, I would vote for a yes just because of the contribution. I don't know though it's really up to you guys on what you do. Maybe you could make a different section starting now of something like, "Past Top Reviewers" or something like that and only keep the top 10 or maybe only the top 5. It's only a suggestion though.

All Requests Completed:

I think that we're seeing a lot like the regulars here again. Also, it's nice to see the ratio of 3:2 Audio:Flash requests, which is much better than last week.

I'll have a prowl around the portal and hopefully come back with something that's worth sticking a review on :)

I don't know who the Shades Gang is, but apparently they make pretty decent flash. I think this is worthy of underdog at least. It did win daily 5th. My spotlight recommendation.

Can I have two spotlights? One for flash and one for audio? If so then I would like to also recommend this audio submission to review.

Just dropping by. :-)

Noticed that this got missed:

Sure! You can review the stuff Shanus listed above.

Come back before next Sunday, let him know how many things you reviewed (and how many points you're due) and you'll be put on the list. :-)

Hey - that's my line! ;-p

Thanks again for taking over.

I've been getting early nights so far and though uni was easy last week, everything's really kicking off this week.

I'm being relatively organised, getting enough sleep, doing some running and hopefully this time next year I'll have a kick-ass 3D animation and a BSc.

Having you take over really helps. Now I've got no excuse. ;-)

At 9/29/08 12:26 PM, Shanus wrote: Additional Comments: Should we keep Bezman on the list, just as we did with Milinko?? Thoughts??

I vote no. ;-p

Seriously, I'm flattered that you would even consider that, but any work I did for the club (in assembling a bunch of review lists and a couple of 'review updates') just pales in comparison to Milinko's weighty effort (instating the points system and running the entire updates himself for nearly 2 years).

I think that it almost takes away from honouring Milinko if each person that updates the list gets 'drop-out immunity'.

Maybe a nice thing would be for anyone who feels like it to make some sort of list of 'past list maintainers' on that wiki-thing?

If you guys want me to edit the .txt file at my site or whatever, just let me know. (PM or e-mail if you have it)

I might start doing quick reviews if I feel like it, but it's good prioritising other things. :-)

Hey, wassup guys, just submitted a new track to the AP, could you review it? I'll respond to every review ;)
It's hardstyle btw.

Link.
Thanks in advance:)

Hi guys, Corky52 talked me about this club and I would like to join ; ). Could I ?

Hi, welcome to the club.

Just start reviewing the requests Shanus posted in his update post (I noticed you already did start. ;) ).
Report back on Sunday or earlier how many points you gathered and you will be included to the list.

Your reviews look fine and this club could need a few more active reviewers. ;)

Yes welcome to the club. I haven't welcomed you yet. ;) Even though I recommended you join.

Just start reviewing the requests Shanus posted in his update post (I noticed you already did start. ;) ).

He was one of the few that came in here, noticed the big list of rules, and read them unlike most people who just come in and ask to join or link to their own submissions without doing it the correct way. I'm hoping the one person not too long ago isn't expecting us to review his stuff when he left the link and said review all of it.

Report back on Sunday or earlier how many points you gathered and you will be included to the list.

I knew we needed something to spark the club a little bit. He's great at audio reviews and wants to get better at flash reviews so I told him this would be the place to do it. I may go searching for another member sometime this week or next week to get the club going after losing some good members.

Lol yes, I couln't wait anymore to start reviewing all these request :P. I like this requests system a lot, and also the updates are amazing.

Sure, but I have a question, do I get 1 bonus point each time I add "Review Request Club" at the end of the review or I do just get 1 one bonus point for writing "Review Request Club" in all my reviews ?

Your reviews look fine and this club could need a few more active reviewers. ;)

Yeah, and also, it will help me to climb ranks in the list I update : The Top 100 Audio Reviewers and also in the other list I took over : The Top 100 Audio Responses : ).

I think that anyone who gets as many points as you and sticks in the club as long should stay. Granted you weren't as an important member as Milinko, but you've played your part. So it's still not up to you. :P

I might PM each member of the list and see what the wanna vote. And the majority will rule :P

Maybe a nice thing would be for anyone who feels like it to make some sort of list of 'past list maintainers' on that wiki-thing?

Hmmm, we could do something like that...

Same, but I can spare an hour or so a week. :P

Damn double post, clicked post a little too enthusiastically

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

So my next list will probably be the last list done on the Monday, as my I'm finally getting decent broadband in my college abode. So just giving you fair warning to have your reviews done by around 2200GMT, which is about 5PM newgrounds time.

Sorry for any inconvenience. But the list on a Monday digs into studying time. And I know I usually do them on the Monday but I will change too :P

Honestly it makes no difference to me which way the plaintext version gets put up, I can put it up on a file hosting site, e-mail it to Shanus, or send it Bezman it makes no difference to me so whatever is easier you you

also Corky has brought it to my attention that xzomxbie's request, the ghost train, had been previously requested in early August, in case that affects the scoring for this week

You get +1 point for every added "Review Request Club".
It's some kind of advertisement for this club and you get rewarded if you advertise it. ;)

Nice catch. The request shoudln't be counted to the totals in that case.

CLUB INFO
...............................

General Rules for Requesters:
If you are planning on requesting reviews, please:
- Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
- Make no more than 3 requests within one week.
- Do us a favour and respond to our reviews.
- Be patient. Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you request.
- 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.

General Rules for New Reviewers:
If you are planning on completing requests, please do the following:
- Post in this thread to let us know you'd like to join.
- Understand the points system and keep track of your own score. You will only be added to the list if you post your own score within the first week.

Points:
**Please also keep track of your own points. If you see something missing, it's probably 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/recommendations for that week

Club updates
Each Sunday or Monday, Haggard or Shanus currently create a list of all the members, counting up their points, calculating various stats and posting a list of requested submissions. Assuming you review the submissions listed, you will get points for them on the following members' update, 6 or 7 days later.

On Thursday, Bezman currently creates a list of all requests and recommendations made up until then, since the previous thursday. This can be seen as a 'preview' of the list that will accompany the following members' update on Sunday/Monday. The points for these are tallied 10 days later.

Requests made between the 'preview list' and the 'members' update' carry over to the next preview list. So you will always have over 9 days to finish the reviews. (Feel free to review submissions as soon as they are requested!)

FAQ
Should we have a FAQ?
I don't know. It kinda seems like overkill.

Should I link to the club in my sig?
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, NG will take you to the latest page, whatever it is.

So if you link to: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/4834 48/999
then anyone following that link will always see the latest page.

I don't understand what recommendations are all about!
As mentioned under this section in each list, '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.'

As long as your name is on the last 'All requests completed' list, feel free to recommend something you've enjoyed from the portal.

You could use this to let us know about something you think is specially awesome, yet overlooked. If there aren't many game or movie requests, maybe you could make a recommendation so we have something to review.

Does the Review Request Club review stuff for non-NG stuff?
Short answer: no.

Long answer: Milinko used to include youtube requests in the list of requests, but the introduction of a points system didn't leave room for such things. You can request reviews here, but some of us may not have accounts on Myspace/Youtube/whatever or may simply be disinclined to review things outside NG. It wouldn't get nearly as much attention compared to if it were a NG submission.

I'd suggest putting songs on the AP, then making a request that way. It lets us give feedback whilst staying on our favourite site. ;-)
