If you want you can get started on this list, do as many as you feel necessary, and then post the points you gained throughout the week (points system can be found in the first post of the thread). Then, you'll be added to the list and from then on I'll be keeping track of your stats and everyone else's stats, compiling them into a weekly update as you can see above.

Thanks, will do! It's been awhile since I've really actively reviewed, but I'm looking forward to getting back into it. Looks like there's sadly a lack of flash reviews to complete though. Thanks again for the welcome!

Looks like that's sort of the case with all of Newgrounds, isn't it? Eh, I plan on being around at least with reviewing so I figured I'd at least dip my toes back into the community again. I'm sure it'll bump back up after awhile.

Really? That's a shame-- I had actually already seen it on the flash portal and I was actually getting ready to review it. I liked the premise of the flash quite a bit really, with the idea of a sort of time loop. It definitely was a bit rough around the edges, but I liked where it was going. It's (or it was) some nice work.

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 FattyWhale for maintaining it for so long. Thanks also to Sonofkirk for starting this new thread and doing many updates.

Have fun!

Lmfao, "and the only other person who did one review was SeeD419"

Yeah, it was cheap I know. I'll try and catch a few more this time around. My attempt at being self-employed and starting my own business actually kinda worked - so I've been just absurdly busy. Of course, I still would love to listen to some NG songs and write a few reviews so hopefully I'll catch a break this week.

Sorry guys, looks like this is all the reviewing I'm going to be able to do for the week... I'm going to be really busy from about now through Sunday with college stuff. So let's review how I've done.

3 reviews (2 audio + 1 art portal) = 15
"Review Request Club" signature = 3
Posted in the past week = 3

So my total's 21 for the week. Bleh. Not exactly the start i was hoping for, but the only start I have time for unfortunately. I'll be reviewing hardcore next week when I get the chance to.

I really think a lot of the members who barely get any done could get them done this weekend actually.

That's actually what I was planning on doing. A far stretch from thos 50+ requests we used to get a week so I got used to reviewing a lot in spurts.

WHAT?! We need more Flash Requests stat - I hate looking at this list and seeing nothing from the Flash Reviews column. I guess I'll try to review some of the audio myself this time around. I've done the art one, so that's a start.

Copy and paste from my old blocked thread:
Hey everybody! So a couple of weeks ago, I got fl studio 9 and I've composed some stuff... Personnally, I don't think it's that good.... *sniffle*

So maybe you guys could give a little critique, help a guy out, point out the oh-so-many mistakes in these pieces?
Much appreciated.

Was actually hoping to do better than five reviews this week but didn't get the chance to review on saturday like I would have hoped.

33 points and hopefully I don't get sidetracked this week.

Sorry for being a day late, but here we have update #75. Generally it's a pretty quiet week in terms of reviewing. SCTE3 as usual managed to review all the requests, which saved us from getting quite a few requests without a review, and other members such as the two new members, Coop and I pitched in a bit to help out. The max amount of RRC reviews on a request was four but then again the minimum was one.

Outside of reviewing, the week isn't as quiet. We lost two members, EpicFail and CurvyPixel, unfortunately, but with those two lost members we gained two members - Nomader, a new member, and sixflab, an old member rejoining. Regarding milestones, we finally reached 2,000 requests, which is a pretty big number. This update is #75, which is, like, 3/4 of 100, if you can call that a milestone...

So anyway, now that that's over, enjoy the update. I rushed this one because I have stuff to do and finished it in around 20 minutes only so there might be some stupid mistake or two here and there. If so, point it out so I can fix the spreadsheets and facepalm.

Without further ado, the update...
