oh wait.. you get 3 points for posting on here, is that per post?

Nope. A maximum of 3 pts, which you get for posting at least once.

also it says +1 for putting RRC at the bottom of a requested review, is that per review?

Per requested review, yes.

So you're joining as a reviewer?

I'd reccommend you start with Haggard's list - and welcome!

thank you for clearing that up but you were beaten to it lol.
as instructed i've started from page 174, so far i've been through the entire list.

you asked if i'm joining as a reviewer.. is there any other way? except for being a requesting animator?

You don't have to join to request reviews, so the only real way to join this fine club is as a reviewer. ;)

Requesting reviews for The Ditty of Death. It's pretty much my first composition. Keep in mind the song may be cursed and you might die a horrible death if if you listen to it.

i'd like to request some reviews for a movie i made a small while ago. it only got four reviews :C

here you go, kind reviewers and reviewesses.

Hey it's Jaiba here again. Could you guys please review my newest movie? the next installment in The Last Hour series? I worked really hard on this on. It's longer and better than ever. But I can guarantee that Chapter 5 will be great, because I have been inspired by someone. You know who you are. So please guys if you could review my first chapter, but more importantly my last chapter because there is only 1 review. Plus you can see my improvements from Chapter 1 and 4. Chapter 5 will be great. I will update on the release. Thank you all. You are all great people.

-Jaiba

Gah, I forgot to add in posts per day points. Once the list is updated I should have 233 points.

hey a quick question..
do you actually spend the time checking to see if we have actually done the reviews?
or just take our word for it, cause i'm sure there are a lot of members, how would you keep up??

Glad to see that the requests are looking more balanced this month. We need more movie review requests, so keep advertising :)

The Elite group stands tall at 6 members this time :) Good work

Additional Comments: Little-Rena and Metal-Therapy both requested to be taken off the list. Both contributed well to this club and I hate to see them go. I sure hope they will rejoin this club as soon as possible. ;)

*salutes* Little-Rena and Metal-Therapy, you shall both be missed among us. Thanks for the hard work.

Yes, of course.

Right now this club has about 19 members and a single update takes about one hour (depending on how many requests we had).

Two requests.

really, 19?? i thought there would be more then that..
i guess you have your own system, but even though checking to see if all 19 members have done what they said they will.. that takes 1 hour?

If you have a look at the list on page 174 you'll see 19 names on the list.
Also, CTRL+F (the "Find" function) and tabbed browsing help a lot while checking the submissions for the reviews from members of this club. ;)

Please be patient. It may take up to two weeks until the reviews come in. Also, don't request the same submission more than once.

well. i didnt knew that.
sorry

I was hoping to get some opinions on my series, Altereality. I've been playing with the ideas of either remaking the first three episodes, with better animation, sound, and writing, or just continuing with episode five. I guess my main question is do you guys understand what's going on from the first three episodes? If its a little iffy, I may consider remakes. If its somewhat understandable, and you'd like to see what happens after part 4, let me know. ^_^

No need to watch the trailers. They have stuff in them I'm not even using anymore.

Please post the direct links to the submissions you want to have reviewed. You may post up to three links per week.

Thanks, Haggard for quoting the rules.

I guess this means we really should start posting the rules at the top of every page?

Other members:
firstly, do you agree that there's a need for this?
secondly, if I uploaded a bit of text somewhere, would you be happy to do a copy/paste if you ever see a new page has arrived?

Yes, and yes.

Could you?

It's kinda gay.

Seems like we all missed your post. :-/

Yes - still the same as a year ago.

Just let us know you're joining and tell us your points total to be added to the members' list. I'd suggest you review stuff from Haggard's latest list (on p174) then tell us how many you did and how many points you're due before Sunday afternoon.

Welcome!

Great!

Well I took some time to write what I feel could be posted at the top of each page.

I copied the rules as seen in Haggard's last update, but made the following changes:
- added tags for bold/italics, trying to create some coherence
- changed 'after' to 'within' in the 2nd 'New Reviewers' rule.
- changed 'I probably made a mistake' to 'it's probably a mistake'
- added '/recommendations' to the last line in the points section

I also added an explanation of the 'updates' and a FAQ.

Is it too long? Badly presented? Is there pertinent info I've missed?

Let me know what you think. Though I've written it out, feel free to rewrite sections if you think you can do better.

(unfortunately, my website host seems to have issues at the minute, so I'm pasting the thing directly here rather than linking.) >:-/

CLUB INFO (these are the pieces of info you're looking for)
........................................
......................................

General Rules for Requesters:
If you are planning on requesting reviews, please:
- Post a direct link to the submission(s) you want reviewed.
- Make no more than 3 requests within one week.
- Do us a favour and respond to our reviews.
- Be patient. Due to the points system, you may not see reviews until up to two weeks after you request.
- Do NOT request without posting a link.
- Do NOT just say "Review everything" or just link to your profile.
- Do NOT request reviews for the same submission more than once.

General Rules for New Reviewers:
If you are planning on completing requests, please do the following:
- Post in this thread to let us know you plan on reviewing.
- Understand the points system and keep track of your own score. You will only be added to the list if you post your own score within the first week.

Points:
**Please also keep track of your own points. If you see something missing, it's probably a mistake**
**To be on the list, you must make at least one review, posters only will not be counted**
5 points for a review on a requested movie/game
7 points for a review on a requested audio
+1 point for putting "Review Request Club" at the bottom of a requested review
3 points for posting at least once throughout the week
5 points for referring a new member (must mention you in first post)
7 points for reviewing all requests/recommendations for that week

Club updates
Each Sunday or Monday, Haggard or Shanus currently create a list of all the members, counting up their points, calculating various stats and posting a list of requested submissions. Assuming you review the submissions listed, you will get points for them on the following members' update, 6 or 7 days later.

On Thursday, Bezman currently creates a list of all requests and recommendations made up until then, since the previous thursday. This can be seen as a 'preview' of the list that will accompany the following members' update on Sunday/Monday. The points for these are tallied 10 days later.

Requests made between the 'preview list' and the 'members' update' carry over to the next preview list. So you will always have over 9 days to finish the reviews. (Feel free to review submissions as soon as they are requested!)

FAQ
Should we have a FAQ?
I don't know. It kinda seems like overkill.

Should I link to the club in my sig?
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, NG will take you to the latest page, whatever it is.

So if you link to: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/4834 48/999
then anyone following that link will always see the latest page.

I don't understand what recommendations are all about!
As mentioned under this section in each list, 'You may make a recommendation if you reviewed 100% of the previous weeks requests and recommendations. It should be over 3 days old and have under 50 reviews.'

As long as your name is on the last 'All requests completed' list, feel free to recommend something you've enjoyed from the portal.

You could use this to let us know about something you think is specially awesome, yet overlooked. If there aren't many game or movie requests, maybe you could make a recommendation so we have something to review.

Does the Review Request Club review stuff for non-NG stuff?
Short answer: no.

Long answer: Milinko used to include youtube requests in the list of requests, but the introduction of a points system didn't leave room for such things. You can request reviews here, but some of us may not have accounts on Myspace/Youtube/whatever or may simply be disinclined to review things outside NG. It wouldn't get nearly as much attention compared to if it were a NG submission.

I'd suggest putting songs on the AP, then making a request that way. It lets us give feedback whilst staying on our favourite site. ;-)
