So, I'm moving tomorrow. Hopefully internet will be avaiable at my new place on Monday. I did a review for Pyroscape 3 today, so that's at least ONE review I did. ^^
Surf Nazis must die! || Wi/Ht? #38
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!
Wow! I didn't realize that Newgrounds had a "review request club"! This is awesome!
So, this is my first art post on Newgrounds. I may be late in the game artist wise. I'm 31 and have been drawing all my life. But, even though I've had an account on here since 2010, I decided to finally get the courage to post some of the drawings that I've done.
This one still sits at a 2.50 rating with no reviews. I drew it by quickly sketching a picture of a girl and then slowly outlining every pencil stroke with an ink pen. Then, I erased the pencil. I actually really liked the outcome but for some reason I don't know why it's not getting the reviews I was hoping for.
I'm open for constructive criticism! I just want to know if it's something that someone may find interesting.

For future reference, try and remember to post a link to your submission. That way it's a lot easier for us to compile the week's list of requests every Sunday/Monday.
Review Request Club | CHECK THIS OUT | Formerly Supersteph54 | I'm an Audio Moderator. PM me for Audio Portal help.
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!

Great! I'd pitch in if I could but unfortunately I'm dedicating most of the time that I'm not studying to audio-modding.
Good luck with that :D.

Oops! Sorry bout that! I thought that I'd put the link on, completely forgot!
You know what? Being permanently banned from reviewing sucks. I haven't written a review since 2007. Why was I such a dumb kid? I feel quite useless for posting things to get reviewed and not being able to return any sort of favor. Oh well. My fault for being dumb.
I kindly request to review this submission.
Thank you so much.
Basics are strongest weapon of profession.
Just made another one. Hopefully I'm not putting out too many requests...
Hi! Please, this one :)
Can I please have some reviews on this:
Thanks!
It's only a work in progress, but I've run into a writer's block and would really love some recommendations on where to go. Suggestions for mixing and mastering.. Anything really..
Do your worst/best!

I regret to say that it's not such a good update this time. As usual SCTE3 saves the week by doing all of the requests, but only 3 reviews from other members were made. Max amount of RRC reviews on a request was three, on one of the Flash Requests.
Anyway, I think I'll try and review some from the current list, with it being so small. Maybe I can finally boost my points up enough to get close to that 3,000 points milestone I've been slowly crawling to for months now :P.
Enjoy the update.

I know I haven't been too active lately but I should be able to review more this week that is on the list. I just need to stop getting so distracted when I have free time.
Could i have a couple of reviews on this 1:31 sample of an upcoming song. I want to know what people think before i keep working on it more :)
Really appreciate some reviews of this new song. Thanks!
If you need more audio requests I have a few on standby.
Hey guys :D I'm back for another review!
I've also descided that i would like to come back to the club :3 would love to review for you guys!
New song that I'd like a couple more reviews on:
Also, since I saw you guys complaining about the short list of stuff to review, if you guys are looking for more fun then how about reviewing one of these? :P

Seriously, I'm serious.
Hey everyone, I used to review for the club a long time ago, and then I quit NG for a while, If I could join back it would be awesome, since I am a complete stat whore, and I love to see 100% and my name in the same line. I will start reviewing the requests from this week tomorrow if it is okay with the current members of the RRC.

I say that's a yes from me. Your reviews look pretty good. Hopefully you aren't out of practice since it's been a few years. Just make sure you understand the club rules that are at the top of the page. Supersteph54 and SCTE3 usually update the request and points list on Monday/Tuesday so when you're done reviewing for the week post your points so we know that you understand how the point system works. I think I covered the basics and if you have any questions just feel free to ask one of the members. Hope you enjoy your stay with the club.
Alright I went through and started reviewing from the list that was put up yesterday, so do I have to tally my own score on sunday and post it or should I wait for next week. I think I read somewhere that the update normally comes out on Monday, or did I just invent that in my fantastical brain somehow?

It says it in the club update area of the club faq. The update is normally on Mondays unless it gets delayed. You'll have to tally your point total for this week. It's standard for new club members so that we can add you to the list and you know exactly how the point system works. Once you are on the list the club updater(currently supersteph54) keeps track of everything.
