Oh no! I'm not an example anymore because of my laziness. But not only that...YOU GUYS GOT ME! I finally figured it all out! I kept saying that I was going to do more reviews and I didn't get around to it, so you guys made my PS3 get the Yellow Light of Death yesterday, didn't you? T_T

Well it worked, I'll get on reviewing right away. :)

Hey everyone! This is my first flash, I've been a fan of Newgrounds for over ten years, and I've only just made my first animation! It was for a short film competition, and the main character is not allowed to speak.

So I made Inanimate Cardboard Box Man!

Linkage - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/54 1891

Hopefully this is the best place to post, please be kind! I know there isn't a lot of actual animation in there, but I made it in 5 days with a couple of hours a day spent on it.

Sorry, link when wrong. Can tell I'm a noob!

It's -

Inanimate Cardboard Box Man

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 milinko959 for maintaining it for so long. Thanks also to Sonofkirk for starting this new thread and doing many updates.

Have fun!

Nope, I'll be keeping track of the points for all of the members, but feel free to keep track of them in case I make a mistake.

Yeah I just choose all of the regular members of the RRC for examples :3. Although I have to admit that I still should have linked you, you've probably got some of the best reviews of the club, at least some of the best flash reviews.

But not only that...YOU GUYS GOT ME! I finally figured it all out! I kept saying that I was going to do more reviews and I didn't get around to it, so you guys made my PS3 get the Yellow Light of Death yesterday, didn't you? T_T

Well it worked, I'll get on reviewing right away. :)

Haha I lol'd xD.

Seriously though, this kind of sucks. I was just getting ready to fire up BlazBlue again and then all of the sudden, it's just all like "FUCK YO COUCH," and shuts off. I try to turn it back on and I see it, the yellow light of death itself. After I tried to turn it again about 10 hours after I unplugged it, that's when I realized that the RRC has conspired against me and used their combined Mr. T level programming skills to send Super HomosexBot-9000 Space AIDS to my PS3 and put it out of commission.

You guys are clever! But I'm resourceful and found out how to fix it. This doesn't mean that I'm only temporarily back. For one I need to get a heat gun and some thermal compound to fix this beeyotch. Besides that, I've felt like doing some reviews again anyways, so lol.

Well, my Xbox got the Open Tray problem a week ago. Main reason I came back on NG, because I couldn't play all my games anymore.

Is this the work of the RRC as well?

Get Ready To Dance {durn} By durn has 75 reviews. I don't know if that rule goes for audio as well. Going to review it now anyway.

Hey if its not too much trouble do you guys think you can review this

Of course not. We don't purposely sabotage electronical devices.

Hey, I haven't been here for a while. Have I gotten 'fired' as a result?

I'd really like to be active again. I've been active in useless clubs for far too long. However, I can't contribute much for the next 3 weeks as I'm in a vacation, but I'll do what I can.

If you guys could review these I'd <3 you.

Very, very sorry about this, I really hate bombarding you all with audio requests but I'm a Robot is probably the song I worked hardest on and some criticism would be very much appreciated.

But if we get too many requests, leave it out.

Yep, if you're inactive for 3 weeks and your total review completion ratio goes under 20% or you've been inactive for 4 weeks then you get excluded from the club. You've been inactive for months xP.

I'd really like to be active again. I've been active in useless clubs for far too long. However, I can't contribute much for the next 3 weeks as I'm in a vacation, but I'll do what I can.

Sure thing, just make sure that you stay somewhat active during those 3 weeks, at least by doing 1 review a week, or if it's not possible then just wait till after the vacation before joining.

Anyhow, whenever you want to join just start reviewing the requests from the latest requests list and if I see your reviews on the requests I'll add you to the list. You don't need to post your points since you already know the drill.

Nope, counts for audio too but I think that submission had less than 50 reviews when I added it to the requests list, so it's too late to take it out now :P.

Right away! Thanks for understanding.

Question: How did it work with the extra audio again? Points? Do they get transferred to next week?

All right, all done! I hope I haven't missed any now. I don't have time to go through all of them to check I've reviewed them all, I just gotta hope for the best. Might have some time on Sunday, before the update goes up. We'll see.

At 7/16/10 01:39 PM, Soapbubble wrote: Question: How did it work with the extra audio again? Points? Do they get transferred to next week?

Think of it as this: the system always tries to make sure that there's no more than one audio request per audio artist. So if a person submits 3 audio requests, this is what happens with his requests:

Week 1: 1 Audio Request, 2 Extra Audio Requests
Week 2: 1 Audio Request, 1 Extra Audio Request
Week 3: 1 Audio Request

</bad explanation>

Don't worry lol, if I see that you're trying to get 100% but you miss out on a random request by mistake, then I'll just send you a PM and wait for you to finish it before doing the update.
