2 reviews this week.. have been very busy.
Even forgot a sig on one of them -doh!-
anywho.. I think that's 11 points extra from me then.. correct me if wrong =]

I just finished counting up the reviews for the week. I'm just waiting for one member to finish a review so he can get 100%, and then I'll update.

Looks like a great week!

It's not me, is it? I'm pretty sure I have 100%.

I'd like to try to make something original for the game, but feel free to browse my audio for something you like. Give me a general idea of the type of music to make.

Unfortunately, not much reviewing got done this week, what with Camporee and the aftermath of unpacking and sorting. This leaves me with a measly 48 points for the week. No sigs forgotten though. This next week should be interesting...

I skipped one by mistake, I got it this morning though.

Oh, good. I triple checked all the requests just to make sure it wasn't me :>

Yeah, I've already taken care of all the art reviews for next week, I need to get it all done before Thursday. Moving out on Friday and I doubt I'll have that much time on my hands this weekend. New town, all by myself. Excited =D

Woo, an awesome week this time round!

Despite having so many members, almost every member contributed and SCTE3, Soapbubble and SkyeWintrest finished all of the reviews too. The stats are great - both are almost 5.00, and the max amount of RRC reviews on a request was 6. Well done, everyone.

We've also got quite a few milestones reached. SCTE3 passed 4,000 total points, Soapbubble passed 1,000 total points, and we've even reached Page 200 and passed 6,000 posts in the club. We're also close to getting to Member's Update #100 (OK well not exactly close - there's still a month and a half to go, but what the heck). On another note, I wonder who holds the record of the longest amount of time updating for the RRC because I plan on taking this record :3.

The only downside to all this is that KKSlider60 has been excluded due to inactivity. Bye :(.

But overall, excellent work. I wish I could help out but I'm finding it hard to get into the routine of reviewing like I used to back when I first joined the club.

Enjoy the update!

Might just be one of the best weeks we've had in a couple months =D

We've also got quite a few milestones reached. SCTE3 passed 4,000 total points, Soapbubble passed 1,000 total points, and we've even reached Page 200 and passed 6,000 posts in the club.

Sweet, congrats to SCTE3 and the RRC. Steph doing a great job on the updates, if you're not the longest running you're at least one of the best (:

The only downside to all this is that KKSlider60 has been excluded due to inactivity. Bye :(.

Awww, hoping to see him back soon!

But overall, excellent work. I wish I could help out but I'm finding it hard to get into the routine of reviewing like I used to back when I first joined the club.

Well, from what you've said earlier, you're a busy guy, so I completely understand you having a hard time doing reviews.

Enjoy the update!

I will!

Ah, three musketeers again!

aha the only flash request! i'm honored

I do plan on getting 100% as much as possible. :P After all, I need to catch up with the biggies, right?

Nice to finally have someone trying to catch up with me, it's been pretty lonely in between the newcomers with few points and the oldies with a lot of points. Really no competition :P

It's awesome to know that a lot of ppl here is interested in the RRC game and this really motivates me to work in the game :).

Two things to say:
1) I won't work today and tomorrow in the game because I'll be studying.
2) I just started doing the gameplay that other day but my drawings are looking horrible! lol. I'll have to find an artist. PLEASE, IF SOMEONE KNOWS AN ARTIST AVALIABLE (WHICH DOESN'T WANT MONEY :P) OR IF THERE ANY VOLUNTEERS, PLEASE TELL ME! lol

To the ppl who are interested to contribute with something to the game:
Yes, everyone can contribute with necessary/useful things. What I currently need is an artist, later I also would like music and voices (if necessary). Ideas are always welcome; and yes, depending of what I'm planning, loads of members who are interested can show up in the game - because each one will have his own game. ;)

will attempt to get 100%,probably impossible for me this week since in half an hour i have to fall asleep,and do another 8 hours of camp tomorrow! marching band camp was a lot better than i expected though,very much so.

Oh, man, that's right, I have marching band camp next week... Darn.

I'll be reviewing again starting tomorrow though, and also... New ambient song! This was an attempt at truly ambient music, specifically, freeeeeaky ambiance.

Review one or the other, please - they're the same thing, only one has a certain effect and the other doesn't. (hope this doesn't count as two requests xD)

Hey, marching band, I used to do that back in the day. What instrument do you play?

Also, I woke up at 7.30 am, panicking because I had to be at the dentist at 8.15. Took a shower, and started running. Looked at cell phone, realized it was tomorrow. Fuck summer vacation, stop messing up my internal clock!

But I love posting here, so you'll see me as a spectator/guest now. xD

Don't leave, I like you :>

Trombone FTW. One of the most under appreciated, yet most difficult instruments to march with. Especially when the jerk in the back thinks it's funny to stab you with his slide. I hear my school's no longer having marching band though... lot of kids missing out...

Trumpet ftw. Tried the trombone, found it boring and difficult :<

lol. Nice. xD

I play the marimba/bells/mallet-instrument-that-hap pens-to-be-in-whatever-song-we're-playin g. Piano for half my life probably helps with that.

Oh, right, just remembered this.

Spysociety, I know a sprite artist, an abstract artist, and a REALLY good artist (for anime-style hand-drawn pictures with a tablet) that I /might/ be able to coerce into helping. Would any of those work? Tell me if yes, hope this can help.

euphoniums ftw.

trombones are cool, but they lack a full sound in their range.

fuller grandiose sound > larger range

Hi, I'd like to join the crew. I hate people who make useless revies, and I want to help by contributing to this crew.

I decided a while ago that reviews should be well thought out and full of constructive criticism instead of just "lolololololololololololololololol".

That is why I made this guide.

I'd like to know what you guys think of it.

Well, I'll replace Suezo in this year NGADM, and I'm more than lucky to be there. :D
Hope I'll keep up with the giants.

While your flash reviews are really good, you need to get some serious work done on your audio and art reviews, especially considering the fact that we mostly get requests for audio around here. If you can write at least 2 paragraphs for all reviews with constructive feedback, I think you'd be great for the RRC (:

Sorry guys, wasn't here for two days, started making reviews around page 200 all the way through. Skipped afew because I had nothing nice to say....BTW, I have not read a single one of STCE3's TL:DR posts. Maybe i'll start today and see what it's all about.

Now after doing so, I can safely say I've done most of the "do this" things in the posts naturally.

It's really just some handy links and rules for the RRC, you don't need to read them more than once, but they're posted at the start of each page so that people don't have to go looking for the latest version.

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!
