Probably a good idea, I don't think I can take another double week, like during the summer. Got a lot more going on now.
Meet the Mayor.
Woo, finally done with the request list! Bring the next one :p
241 deal on this one. Almost have everyone else's reviews done for "Sea of Destiny"
thanks guys!
I think I'm going to have to call it quits. I've been really busy lately, as you can tell with my low numbers. I might join back when things aren't so hectic. Reviews aren't even fun anymore. They really just feel like more work. I'm sorry, guys :(
uwu
My song was 0 bombed. It's at 0.13 score. It would be really nice to have some real criticism. ^^
Hey, I was just refereed to this club by Rivergrey , and was wondering if I could join.
I've started running my own review section on my profile called "Frontpage Spotlight" if you're curious about my standards, but on the whole, I really want to start reviewing much more.
I read over the rules on the first post about the points system, but I understand that that post was made quite some time ago, so if anyone could fill me in on any rule changes, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks! It's only recently I've started trying to take reviewing seriously, so I appreciate that I need to up my game a bit.
And don't mention it. If you honestly enjoy the music I submit then then great! It's all I ever look for.
Thank you in advance, fine gentles!
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.
Just wondering, how am I doing on the review limit? I think this is the last one I can do for a while.
I don't know when the periods start and end.
Got my reviews done for the week!
51 points in total. Would have been more but I missed the sig on three reviews and don't have enough time to cover all the requests =[
Comin' around again with a newly posted track for reviewing.
15 pts?
reviewed on two of the songs,this upcoming week i'll be coming back with a punch and really try to do all the audio reviews,but only the audio. i cant do much of flash/art because im not really into that stuff/know as much about it. im sure you guys can understand.
Sig Links. Links in Sig. I dunno.
"making a piece of music is kinda like raising a kid (only a lot easier, lol)" - Skye [Winter] 11:28 PM <- Skype? hell yeah.
Heyya, got another one fresh out of the oven. Would love some reviews.
Hey guys, could you please review my song? Thank you!
I'm back from Sicily.
I kinda expected SCTE3 to do the requests list for the week before last so I could do the update of both that week and last week today, but no matter. I should've been clearer xP.
In that case I'll do Member's Update #98 now (the one for this requests list) and next update (#99) will count the requests of both last week (6th to 12th) and this week (12th to 19th).
Review Request Club | CHECK THIS OUT | Formerly Supersteph54 | I'm an Audio Moderator. PM me for Audio Portal help.
And here's that update I promised (the one for this list)
Brilliant work everyone, we've got an update better than the last. Props to SCTE3, Soapbubble and XsakuX for their 100% completion, and Coop, Haggard, Skye, sontuk, megakill, Knuckstrike and NimblekidX for doing some reviews too. Thanks to all the reviews we just about managed to get over 5.00 as an Average per Request stat. The largest amount of club reviews on a request was 8, which is great!
In the milestones department we're one update closer to 100 updates, and Coop/Haggard are making their way to the 8,000 total points milestone at a steady pace too. There is some bad news though - Haggard's total ratio is just under 50% now (he's exactly 1% less than Coop). SomeGuyInSomePlace also left the club and as usual we still have some inactive members. It's a shame really, because other than that this was an awesome week.
Keep it up, and good luck with the next batch of requests which is bigger than normal seeing as it spans over two weeks. Oh and thanks for reviewing my request :3.

Thanks for the update, Steph. Time to stretch my legs and get some reviewing done, I think.
12/22 was decent, but now I need to grab a list and run with it.
Thanks for the update! Glad I managed to keep my 100% streak, but with such a sick amount of Audio Requests, I think this'll be the week it ends, especially considering I'm leaving to go back home for the weekend on Thursday, and I doubt there will be much reviewing while there.

24 audio requests
1 art requests
6 extra audio requests
What?!? This means I will be getting a total of 8 points this week. I'm writing my art review now, but that will be it...
The Review Request club, the Blammers List (update every 15th), and the Protectors List (Update every 1st). My sig has it all.

I just realized something odd. The song I had put up for request will get a different version of a request each time, since I'm constantly updating it. o.0
Aside from that, my main goal right now is to get at least 3-4 reviews done this week. I have a TON of stuff I need to do this week. Marching band, arranging a part of the Scheherazade for mallets, working on music, a ton of practicing for a recital this next Sunday, and, of course, the ever-present homework from school. Oy.
Stuff.

You come back and you feel better and such.
yeah, probably. It's not that I'm lacking the will to review, more that I'm lacking the time. I have an assignment due tomorrow, 2000 words. And I'm only halfway. Uni isn't just drinking, I guess.

I have a question: Can a reviewer also ask requests? I know it's a wierd question to ask , but I'm a bit confused as of now, seeing the rules on each page don't mention anything of it.

Yup. If, let's say, you're part of the club and you post your own submission as a request. Then, the requests list is made and there are 25 requests including yours. Let's say you did seven of the 25 reviews of that list. Since you can't review your own submission, you get 7/24 in your stats whereas any other member who doesn't post a request of his own gets #/25 in his stats.

Hey there, it's been a very good while huh? :D
I'm glad the club is still active and helpful.
I would ask you if some can review this track for me, since I still don't know if it satisfies me completely or not, haha.
Thank you in advance and enjoy! ^^
