Ended up getting drunk instead, celebrating the end of 13 years of obligatory school.
Crossing my fingers for the update to be on Monday, not Sunday. Might get the reviews done by then.
Meet the Mayor.
No update yet, please...it's been a rough Saturday, and it would do well if I had a good sunday to do these reviews X_X

Could I have this submission reviewed please, I really want a good opinion of it.

Walked out and got a ride home from some dude. She was an ass.
Sounds like one too. I rarely get as drunk as I did on Friday though. Just, a friend brought whiskey, and those shots don't hit you till after an hour. I don't remember how I got from the party to the club, and I don't remember anything after getting shoved on the floor in the moshpit.
I don't like that kind of drunk.
Meet the Mayor.
I apologize for coming in and only doing reviews for one week, I got smashed with the final push to finish up school, and then went straight to the beach for senior week, I haven't produced or reviewed hardly any music since then. . .
My July is even busier than June was, so I'm not requesting to join the club again right now, because I'm going to be absent from any type of computer most of July. Once fall comes in and I get settled with school (just community college. . .) I would like to return and help out this club and that should be august sometime. . .
Sorry to drop of the map for a while, but life happens. . .
I'll be in touch,

Hey, real life comes before cyber life, no matter what. The RRC isn't anything obligatory, and definitely not something you should feel bad about if you can't get a couple reviews in a week. It's just something for people to help other people make better art. And for statwhores to get an incentive to write more reviews.
You come back when you come back. Hell, this is the third time I've returned.
On another note, pretty sure I've got 100% now. Tried to review some extras, but I am all out of reviewer juice, so I'll have to do those next week. Getting close to 1,000 total reviews now :>
Meet the Mayor.

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!

Meet the Mayor.
Another great week! Not only did every request get at least three reviews, but many got four, and the max amount of reviews on a request was six.
Stats are really looking good, and despite having few members currently, we've managed to do better than when we had like 10+ members. Nobody was inactive - everyone did at least one review, with many doing more than one review and Soapbubble, SCTE3 and the newcomer zelazon reviewing every request. I only did one this time because of Game Jam stuff, audio modding, making a song and all of that coupled with pure laziness. Maybe I'll do more next time :P.
The only bad news is that we forgot two sigs and YumeSin's 100% streak is no more :(. But the good news certainly outweighs the bad news. We've also hit 7,000 total reviews, so job well done to every current and old club member!
Nobody's volunteered to take over with the update so far though. Remember, if you're up for it, it's not hard at all. Just PM me and I'll give you a run-down on what you have to do via PM or MSN.
That is all. Enjoy the update, everyone!

Not bad at all, really helps having these active reviewers. 3 per request is a great number.

Sounds to me like you have a pretty valid reason for not doing too many reviews.
The only bad news is that we forgot two sigs and YumeSin's 100% streak is no more :(. But the good news certainly outweighs the bad news. We've also hit 7,000 total reviews, so job well done to every current and old club member!

Might I humbly request to join this wondrous endeavor of artistic criticism? Your reviews mean a lot to me, and I'd like to be able to offer something in return. I've attempted to improve my reviewing method lately, and I already spend a lot of time on this thread as it is. :P
Please consider, and I wish you all the best.

4 reviews from me is pretty good. I should do more than this before the next update, though. Recently I lost 5 audio reviews (and 3 responses along with it). >:(

Basically how I do it to. Just wing it, write how you feel about the piece, what you feel is off and so on. It's really not that hard.
