3. @Basiccc on episode 13 Become a Co-host Hit Gabbles up by PM if you'd like to host an episode, add the data below:
- Pick a date (preferably on a Tuesday)
- Pick a lyric you'd like to have illustrated
- Read this page Pre-Posting After getting the green light, it's time to prepare you're episode; be sure to have:
- The previous episodes answer
- The illustration you're going to post
Both of these will be facilitated by Gabbles - just remember to have 'em both before starting; otherwise you won't get far!
Head over to the episode guide to add the answer of the previous episode by annotating the word 'answer' underneath the previous episode. While you're on the episode guide make sure to add your new episode to the page by editing the lyrics! Making the thread Head off to the home of our beloved Lyrictionary, the Rap Genius subforum, and create a new discussion. This newly created discussion needs a title which is formatted exactly the same as the episode title you just added to the episode guide.
Next up is the post itself, which is mostly free to fill in the way you want to. There are some parts which are mandatory (note the *) or are often re-used. See the list below for a basic structure of each episode.
1. Header image / intro
2. Answer of last weeks episode*
3. Discussing last weeks results
4. Rating the new illustration
5. New illustration*
6. Live score*
7. Hints
8. Series concept*
9. Rules*
10. Episode guide reference
11. Leaderboard reference
12. Last words After-posting First things first, let the people know Lyrictionary is up! Most commonly a tag wall is used in a seperate post for this, you can re-use a tag wall from a previous episode or just tag away yourself!
People will PM you trying to guess the answer; Basically you just tell them if it is or isn't the correct answer. On the side it's good to keep a small administration seeing who tried to guess, got it right and how many guesses it took him, Since this is a must for the leaderboard.
The Live score can help here since that already states the people who got the right answer, but a seperate file (localy or even on a piece of paper) is needed for the amount of guesses and the people who don't get the right answer! After closing your episode, send this list over to Gabbles so he can update the leaderboard.
Another crucial part of the job is giving hints. Does it seem like people get stuck? Help them out! You can use the hint section in the openings post of the discussion, or you could just post up new hints whenever you feel like it!
Last but not least, ENJOY! this is your episode, you're lyric is on display. So try to have a bit of fun since you're the host of the show for once!
