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.
I'm just a dreamer.

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.
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!

o.0 Don't know who Syke is, but I'm guessing that it was meant to be me. lol.
The artist(s) are friends on a different website, I'm fairly sure they all have DA accounts, but I don't know them off the top of my head. One is called Infernalbird, one is called Falon Helfiren Pride, and another one is called Puppy in a Basket%u2122. I'll have to ask them though, may be a bit odd if you suddenly appear and say "Hey, can I use your art for a game? Skye recommended you."
I'll shoot a PM over if one says yes, and I'll try to send some links to their art as well.

Well, this wasn't quite the 50% I aimed for, but I have some reports to write, which is far more important than reviewing. Sadly, I didn't work on the reports today and one of them is due to friday. Damn. :(

Ouch, that sucks. Hope you get that done in time. You're still above 50%, but just barely, you'll need... 9 reviews to stay at 50%. I think. My math isn't the best.
Meet the Mayor.
Hey there. I have two songs I'd love a review on, last time I submitted something I got some good tips and would like more critiques =D Sorry if I'm doing something incorrectly, I read the rules though. ^__^;

Wow fail link on the first. I've fixed it in this quote though x.x
If you could do this one that would be great! Thanks!
What's it gonna be? You have to decide.
Tits, or destiny...
...Tits...
Alright! Managed to start reviewing things today. Yaaaay. Just all but one of the audio reviews to go! I also am hoping to get another song for you guys to poke and prod at this week. Should be able to work on it a lot tomorrow - got over 6-7 hours of travel, so I can fiddle with it on my laptop. I may also be able to get some awesome acoustic guitar in there, courtesy of my younger cousin! Woohoo! (\o/)
Even if I can't manage to get it up by the next update, I hope you enjoy the ambient song I put up.

Yeah. I know there's no pressure on me for finishing it up, but I've had a 100% streak going for a looong time now, and I don't want it to end. I'm gonna clean the house and pack my stuff today, and we'll see if I can't get the rest done this evening and tomorrow.
Even worse, I'm not even sure if I'll be around for Clock Day! :<
Meet the Mayor.
Aw, that stinks about having only today and tomorrow to finish them - especially with so many audio requests...
I know how that kind of thing feels, it's quite annoying. :| Hope you manage it!

Thanks for the update Steph. Nice work, as usual.
I've managed a pretty poor showing this time, but in readiness for next update, I've already doubled my output. Let's see if I can make use of the forthcoming free time to take a few steps again. I'm fed up of haemorrhaging reviews, so I'd better start writing new ones, to replace them.
That and I want to stay at above 50% for a little while longer.

These are flash, right? If so, I'd still add them to the list. Even if it does increase the workload, we need flash to review.
That's my two pence.

I agree on this, I'm pretty certain that some people do few reviews because there's so much audio and so little flash/art. Maybe raise that max amount of reviews by 25 or so?
Meet the Mayor.
Hey guys, first time I request some "Art" reviews ;D
I just uploaded some drawings (I'll put the rest tomorrow) and I would greatly appreciate if some pious soul leaves a comment while passing by them. I don't expect to have them all reviewed of course. xD The first upload is this: http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/kksli der60/kks-who-cares-right
As I said before, expect the last three drawings tomorrow, two pencil-made and one pen-made. The pencil drawings are basically tests, as I've never worked with more than two pencil types in a single sketch. They're 2B's and 2H's.
Enjoy and thanks :)
Hardcore review hour is a go! I've got one hour to finish up these reviews. Wish me luck!

I just want a higher B/P rank so my vote counts more. Then I'll start actually voting 0 on all the shit that pops up in the portal.
I've still got 4 or so left, but I might, MIGHT be able to finish them tonight. Just gotta finish packing my stuff.

Review Request Club | CHECK THIS OUT | Formerly Supersteph54 | I'm an Audio Moderator. PM me for Audio Portal help.
I'd like to join and become a reviewer. Though I somewhat doubt my current batch of reviews available to look at are not up to snuff length-wise, I feel fairly confident in my abilities to right extremely competent reviews if given the motivation or knowledge the author will read my criticisms.
Thanks.
