You're tellin me. Just finished all the ones from the second list so I am as of now 100% completely caught up.
Although I didn't add review request club to the bottom of any of my reviews...mainly because they were mostly all audio and apparently we don't need anymore advertisement there :)
Dear RRC,
Do please drop in on Wikigrounds and take a look at these Pages: RRC and Reviewing. As you can see, the pages could do with more info, links, refs and pix. Please do improve them. I would also appreciated it if you went into the Talk page on Reviewing and told me your thoughts on these and other pages, plus your ideas on what is Notable on Newgrounds on the subject of Reviews.
We are the Dragons & Spirits. We are friendly people. Best Wishes, Ice!

Thanks in advance!
thanks, I found it sounds great
Hi. I'm not very new to the Audio Portal, but I'm still learning every time I make my songs. My biggest breakthrough here was probably a very faithful 8-bit remix of 'Down Under' by Men at Work, but I'm honestly not too proud of that because while making 8-bit remixes are fun, I'd like my original music to be seen and reviewed too.
Given that, I'm glad I found this club. In the past few months I made a song that I think is one of my best, but it never got reviewed. Here's the link.
I spent a lot of time on it and I really don't want that time to go to waste, so if any of you could review it that would be great. Thanks.
(Also if things aren't too busy I'd like to join the club and help others out.)

Your reviews don't really say much though.. you should try and put more effort into them.

im back RRC :D with a new track :3 plz do review it i need many opinions on it :S
thx <3
I haven't been reviewing at all, and I'm sorry. My internet is going up and down, which has cost me a couple of long-written reviews. I decided I would just not bother for a while. So now my internet is working smoothly, AND I have headphones!
still no review on carry around fate, you know what ill just repost it in that case
Also another so the one that comes after that will have to wait wich is going to make the last one a single one (as ive made them in pairs, and since carry around fate wasnt reviewed that wont work anymore and i hope the same people that reviewed this albums previous tracks will review these and wont get confused on the story now)
and skipping the ultimate roamer (as that one 'has been reviewed)
Original, classical and retro videogame music composer. (No longer take project clients from newgrounds but if you need a track or two from what ive got pm me.)

so that makes it three reviews this time for me.

lol why did you go through my reviews?
Furthermore why would you tell me my reviews need more effort when your reviews look like this:

His reviews from 2006.

Well, actually his only 2 flash reviews.
The other audio one was recent. I didn't even bother looking that's just the page you get when you click "reviews' on his profile. I just wouldn't be calling people out on having 'not enough effort' in reviews when your main review page looks like that.

I'm not a flash reviewer, and those two were made from when I was 12 lol.
Listen, my recent audio review for that song I thought deserved a 10. Whenever I do, I don't feel the need to go and write an essay on it.
I'm not trying to bash you dude, so sorry if you got it the wrong way. I just feel that since we don't have a lot of audio reviewers, the people that review the audio shouldn't review on just " this is good, but I don't like this part, change it ".

Yeah, I know what you mean. Happens all the time on 10's.

Well I think I posted before saying this, but it's really hard for me to write a lot about audio. I try and write what I can but when I'm all out of opinions it just feels wrong to fill it up with pointless filler.
Flash is easy to critique for me, and I can usually write an essay on one, but the problem with audio is that I know it's subjective so it's hard to really give them criticism you know? I mean, if I don't even listen to that type of music, who am I to tell them it sounds bad? Idk...that's just the issue I have, but I always try and write at least a paragraph.

Steph mentioned to me that most people link their stuff for exposure, so it's fine to continue reviewing like that if you want. I just think it would be more helpful for the audio artists that link their stuff here is to get more thorough reviews.

Well I'm just saying, if your most recent audio review is a one liner, I don't think you should really be telling me that mine are insufficient when mine all at least a paragraph. Seems a bit hypocritical. I'm not trying to be an asshole either, I'm just looking at the facts, and I'm afraid that's just the case...
Don't want any bad blood in the club. Just makes the page look cluttered.
Anyways just wanted to come by and say thanks to all of the people who did 100% in my absence last week.
Should of posted this first.
NOTE - READ THESE RULES, EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY READ THE RULES IN THE FIRST POST. THEY ARE AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE RULES IN THE FIRST POST AND THEY HAVE NEW IMPORTANT RULES!
Hello! Welcome to the new Review Request Club thread. This thread is meant to give the club a fresh start and make it a pleasant place to stay. In order to do this, it goes without saying that you must follow the regular BBS rules and read the C&C Advice Thread before posting if you are new to this forum.
This club aims to increase the exposure of the most under-rated Newgrounds music, art and flash artists. The other major purpose of the club is to offer the Newgrounds artists high quality feedback so they can constantly improve their work.
To the requesters:
Every Newgrounds user is allowed to request a review as soon as he submitted something. To get your work reviewed, don't post here without thinking but follow these few rules:
- Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
- Make no more than 3 Flash and Art requests between two updates (that's one week), and no more than 3 Audio Requests between 5 updates (that's four weeks).
- Please respond to reviews, reviewers like it and some of them are statwho... oh wait, interested in stats.
- Be patient. Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you requested, or if you requested more than 1 Audio submission, you may not see reviews on your second submission up until 3 weeks after you requested, and you may not see reviews on your third submission up until 4 weeks after you requested.
- Do NOT request without posting a link, be kind, reviewers are not robots.
- Do NOT simply say "Review everything" or just link to your profile.
- Do NOT request reviews for the same submission more than once.
- Do NOT request reviews for a submission with over 50 reviews.
- Do NOT request reviews for spam. Spam is only there to annoy, not to be critically analyzed.
- Unless you are a club member, only request reviews for YOUR OWN submissions.
To the reviewers:
If you want to join the club and complete requests, simply post in the thread saying you would like to join. Then, regular members will go through your reviews and determine if they are good enough to be part of the club. Your reviews are required to be helpful, developed and well-organised. If you need help with writing good reviews, read Fro's guide to writing helpful reviews.
Once you are accepted, you can start reviewing stuff. If you are a new member of the club, once you understand how the point system works, please post - one or two days before the update - the total points you've earned during the week. This is considered as a sort of application form, and if you fail to do so, you will NOT be added to the club.
Points System:
List updaters will keep track of each member's points in order to build a list. You don't need to post your points before each update but you can keep track of your score on your own so any error can be fixed. This is how points are counted:
5 points for a review on a requested submission (movie, game, art, or audio).
1 point for writing "Review Request Club" at the bottom of a requested review.
3 points for posting at least once throughout the two weeks.
5 points for referring a new member (must mention you in first post).
7 points for reviewing all requests/recommendations between two updates.
Club Updates:
Each Sunday or Monday, a list of all the members is created, counting up their points, featuring various stats and posting a list of requested submissions. Assuming you review the submissions in that list, you will get points for them accordingly in the following members' update, around a week later.
Don't forget the lists are built and updated by humans so it may be possible the update is delayed due to various real life reasons. If it ever occurs, don't get mad; calm down and wait :).
Frequently Asked Questions:
Should we have an FAQ?
I don't know. It kinda seems like overkill.
Why a new thread?
The main idea was to give the club a new and fresh start. Since the old one was flooded by requests and not updated any more, the RRC regulars thought creating a new thread would be best for the club.
Should I link to the club in my forum signature?
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, Newgrounds will take you to the latest page, whatever it is. For example, "http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/107 2042/999" will take you to the latest page of this club.
RRC Signature?
Yes, at the end of each review, if you want you can write down 'Review Request Club'. There is no obligation to do so, but you'll get +1 point if you put the RRC signature in your review. You can add anything you want to it, E.G.: *Review Request Club*, |Review Request Club|, -Review Request Club-, etc, but as long as 'Review Request Club' is clearly written, you will get the point. You are also allowed to add the sig in any reviews other than requests in this club, as long as you are a club member yourself. It's all the more exposure for the club, and it's very much appreciated.
+1 point if I put the RRC signature in my review... I'm not sure if I get it correctly.
You gain 6 points for a review on a request with "Review Request Club" in the end of it, as opposed to 5 points if you hadn't added the signature at the end. If it's still not clear, read this.
Does the Review Request Club review for non-NG stuff?
No. It must be an NG submission. If you have a non-NG submission which you would like us to review, then use your common sense and upload it to NG. Also, we will only review using the 'Write a Review' method on submissions. We won't send reviews by PM, review in your newspost or review in any particular thread of yours.
Do I have to review all the requests?
No you don't have to, just do your best :). Though completing them all will give you 7 extra points.
Which requests should I review?
If you want to get points for the next member's update, look for the latest requests list in the club thread and review the requests from that list. If you review any requests from various posts in the thread which would have been posted after the latest requests list, you will be getting points for the member's update after the next one.
can u review allz mah flashz guise? kthxbai.
No.
If you have more questions, feel free to post about it in the thread or PM a member and if your question is frequently asked, it'll be added to the FAQ.

That's all about the club, though this new version of the club couldn't be opened without mentioning the old thread regulars who have made it a great place to spend time. Kudos to Freelance-Magician for creating the original club and to milinko959 for maintaining it for so long. Thanks also to Sonofkirk for starting this new thread and doing many updates.
Have fun!

My most recent audio review was not part of the RRC requests, so I don't put into a lot of effort in the ones outside of RRC.

Yeah, now that's what I call a comeback! A great change from last week. We have five... yes, five, new members, including Sequenced who's an experienced audio reviewer, SeeD419 who did all of the reviews, Domo who rejoined because he missed us all so much, MakingFunGames who did a good amount of reviews and Makeshift who plans on reviewing more now that his internet connection is working fine. Some of these didn't post their points, but heck, we need more members, so I thought that by adding them everyone wins. Right?
Now then, more good news, because we all love good news. The stats are looking good; we have quite a high Average per Member stat, and also, I can safely say that all the audio requests got at least 2 reviews, with a lot of them having 3 reviews and some going up to even 4 reviews. Last but not least, Domo did a lot of reviews, even though he didn't meet his 100% streak expectation. So yep, great update!
The only bad news I can think of is that we left out 32 sigs, mostly from SeeD419 who isn't writing sigs in his reviews so we can stop those nasty audio peoples from finding this club :P. Lol jk. I am after all a nasty audio person too. D:
Some worse bad news would be that we lost a member, Soapbubble. Too bad he only stayed for a little while, but heck, maybe he'll come back in a few months, again :D.
Other than that, we're doing really well. Keep up the good work, everyone, and enjoy the update!
Gotta love writing these essays before updating :3.

Thanks for the update Steph!
Got two requests myself.
It's been a while guys, and since my last post, i have made quite a bit of music, and i wish i could post them all to be reviewed, but i wont, since i'm nice like that :P
