Here is the last painting I will make for this month as in for traditional although I guess I can't request something until next month. There will probably be a digital painting up soon on my page so if you would like to review it in a couple days, it would be nice since I barely get reviews on my paintings at all but here is my second try painting the Battery Point Lighthouse on Crescent City. Acrylic on 16x21 canvas.

Well, a great start would be to start writing better reviews. Looks like you've got quite a few one-liner. Take a gander at mine real quick. I have a theory that you can write at LEAST a paragraph about any submission. Just try to help the authors as much as possible with constructive criticism instead of "oh cool" or something like that, you know?

In other news I finished ALL of the requests on that list! Yes, you read right. Every single one of them, AND the review that I missed from last week =)

So technically I am at 100% completion ^_^

Double post; yuck! Sorry, but I decided to post another one.

If I remember correctly, this one will count as an extra, so it will be placed on the extras list this week, and then the normal list next week?

Hello, Review Request Club!

First I would like to once again thank you for the previous time (my first) I requested reviews for my audio submissions. The reviews are constructive and efforted.

Today I contributed to the Halloween competition on Newgrounds. I hope I still may be able to post it here:

While I am at it, I did submit another project of mine earlier. It is my own version of a videogame track (Pokémon G/S/C - New Bark Town), but still I feel that it is one of the best projects I have done so far now, so if remakes/remixes are allowed to be reviewed, I will also list that one here (if not, just ignore it, heheh):

Thanks once again! Happy early Halloween! =3


Heya! Do you wonder what it sounds like to be on a wild sugar rush? Click here if you dare! =3

Go to the Review Request Club for amazing reviews of your work!

Response to Review Request Club 2010-10-24 20:48:59


Hello everyone. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my desert-themed tune. I've been working on it today, and hopefull you will have found a few improvements over the last version.

Thank-you for your time once again. I'll try to respond to each adn every review that I get.

Response to Review Request Club 2010-10-24 21:18:24


please feel free to review my animation and willing to accept both good and bad comment. thank you! :)

This week's list really IS painful to see, but what's really painful to see is the pitiful review rate...

It's as if people got scared of the list and decided to let the others do the job. Except for Seed and occasionaly Coop, I've practically seen no one try to leave a comment since the start, and none since wednesday or thursday...

Is everyone really overworked, or has everyone lost interest?

Well I certainly can't speak for everyone but I know that a few members are just really busy with things going on in their lives right now, which is totally understandable. I think we just need maybe a couple new members to fall back on when others get busy with more important things.

TB1ZZL3, if you're not a fly-by and you actually want to join, would you mind hitting some of the requests from the last request list? Just to be on the safe side. We haven't heard much from the main reviewers other than how busy they are and we should ensure that all these requests get at least a couple reviews.

Should have submitted this earlier...

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!

I have here a new song (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/

371594), which is still in 'beta', because I want to improve it. I'd like to get some constructive criticism on how to do so, because people at the audio portal seem to be blind enough to not read the song's description, but they're still able to vote :/

Also, if you have some, it'd be nice if you could link me tosome good heavy drum loops for the song. It's meant to be the opening theme for an oncoming series of mine, and I want it to be as close to perfection as possible.

Those of you who help me will be listed in the 'thanks' section of the credits.

Thanks

I'd like a couple of reviews on this 1:03 demo of my newest song. I would like feedback as i will be finishing this song over the next couple of months :)

Response to Review Request Club 2010-10-26 12:56:39


It seems like every time I decide to request a review, it's a bad week because a million other people asked for one too.

I'm not complaining, I'm just a little irked about it I guess.

Sounds good. I don't run this club but you seem like a pretty decent member by the looks of it.

Looks like you're already getting them done and writing decent reviews at that. Awesome. As I'm sure you read, the club has been experiencing some inactivity with members recently due to personal life getting in the way ;) So although I can't make the final call, I'm sure Steph will appreciate the help, and most likely approve your membership ;)

If all else fails, just look at the post with the point system and then just count how many requests you did and add them up. Should be easy enough. Thanks for the help! The artists appreciate it very much, as do we =)
