Hi, welcome to the club.

Thanks dude !

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

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.

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

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 : ).

Lol, yeah thanks for talking me about this club, it's so great !

Nice to see you, to see you, nice :P

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

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...

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'll let perfect-insanity deal with this :P

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

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. ;-)

...............................

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.

Kthx. :D

As Haggard said, it'll be dealt with on the day of the list. Sure one of the request last week was deleted before the list was put up. So don't worry about it :P

To reviewers - this is the list of requests made between the 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 9 days time - on the 12th October. If you haven't already completed them, I suggest you first review some stuff from Shanus' list on page 189.

To requestors - if you made a request since my last list and it is not listed below, I have made a mistake. Being human, I may potentially have gotten the link wrong. Let me know in either case.
If you make a request after this post, it won't be included until next Thursday/Friday's update.
The Sunday/Monday list is just a repost of this.

Lol, it's been a while since I submitted something to be reviewed.

It's a little VG loop. Short and sweet, short and sweet.

Hey guys. First I'd like to say thanks to everyone who's reviewed the other requests I've posted here, it's much appreciated and I've tried to reply to as many as possible.

Secondly, could you guys review this please?

Kthx.

I was also wondering if I might be able to join this fine establishment.
I'm interested mainly in upping my review count.

Sorry I haven't been really active these last few weeks, but college work and revision are consuming a huuuuge part of my life right now.

I'll try to get some movie reviews done now, as I love helping people out with their projects.

Thanks for reading ;)

Ok, I gathered 64 points this week :
*4 Audio reviews with RRC at the end => 32 pts
*4 Flash reviews with RRC at the end => 24pts
*1 Flash review without RRC at the end => 5 pts
*I posted on the thread => 3pts

TOTAL : 64 pts

Doing the update now. Just seeing how the new link feature works.

Well I think you should try it and see how it looks. It may be pretty cool, but it may be a big mess also. Either way I think you should at least try it this time and then we can decide on it after this update.

At 10/6/08 12:21 PM, Shanus wrote: Doing the update now. Just seeing how the new link feature works.

Nice idea, but would you then be able to fit all of the requests in? With it changing the size of the posts somewhat radically, you might find yourself limited by the number of requests.

Still, look forward to the update :)

Cocky52 won't review it unless I post it here, which is why I'm going to post it here!

Additional Comments: Also WTF Haggar missed 2 reviews???

Yeah, I wanted to do them on Saturday, but I have been away all day. I did a few on Sunday, but not all as I figured I would have enough time on Monday. I reviewed two more today, but couldn't motivate me to do the rest (had some stuff to do, also I'm feeling a bit sick since Saturday evening).
Ah well, shit happens... and not long ago, Coop missed some reivews, too. And I still caught up one review over the last few weeks. XD

This is a madness flash. I am still learning, I don't mean to sound boasty when I say I think I'm getting better. I'm good at frame-by-frame which my next project will be on. I would like you guys to give me some achievable advice in your reviews :) It always makes me feel nice when I read your guys reviews, they are always so nice :) All ideas will be taken into account and all reviews will be responded to! Thanks so much guys!

Ah, too bad. Maybe if you did it in two different posts like the EGB use to do. All the requests on one post and all of the rules and the members list on another post. That might give you enough room to try it out.

Putting together a streak again. Next weekend, I'll have over 1,000 Requests completed :D

When you went on about the post messing up, was that when you were trying to use the new posting script? If so, it's a shame, because that would make the updates more visible, when you scan through to try and find the requests for any given week. It's either stay as normal, or upgrade it to 2 posts worth of work. It should simplify it, because you don't have to produce links for everything :P
