Topic: You're being recruited!

Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

In order to ensure that things go as smoothly as possible during out marathon, we need some help ensuring that the stream and chat are both working properly. So we're going to need you folks to do two things:

Let us know if the stream is funky for you.

This is especially important for our international viewers. If something's up, tweet us at @WADYMPotter. If something's really up, get a hold of Teague directly via Google (teague.chrystie@gmail.com) or cell. Having Teague's number is very important, so if you want to be on the designated 'Web Team', then contact me for his number.

Moderate the chat room.

Teague and I are going to be moderators, but we're also going to need a few fine folks to stay on top of the chat and make sure everything's running smoothly. We're going to be using Youtube Live's chat room for this, so you will need a Google account to be able to post or moderate. Again, it would be great to have a few of our fine overseas folks to keep the chat rolling during off-hours in the US.

Wait, three things. Prizes?

We're also looking for fun stuff to do or give away during the stream when we meet certain goals. If you guys have any cool ideas for prizes that we can give away to individual people, post 'em here. We're also looking for things we can do during the stream for everyone. Like Teague doing the cinnamon challenge on air!

Be reasonable, I guess.

But seriously, cinnamon challenge that shit.

Not So Secret Forum-Only Suprise!

After each episode, we're going to give out a code (or word (or number (we haven't gotten that far yet))) that you guys can write down. If, after the episode, you present us with all eight codes, you'll get a secret surprise! There's one stipulation to this, though: don't give out the codes to anyone!. If suddenly everyone has all eight codes, then no one is getting a surprise. I'll turn this car around and take you right back to the LOTR livestream.

Signing out,

I'll help moderate, if you'd like.

I can moderate as well, if needed.

This might be too obvious, but maybe some trivia during the between-film breaks? And the prize is that the FIYH feed will shout you out on Twitter or something.

Re: You're being recruited!

Happy to help out however I can, assuming I can even get the basics figured out.  I assume that once I get a Google+ account it'll be magically obvious what to do?  ('Fraid I have basically zero experience with social network sites.  Being basically an anti-social bastard with no interest in networking, I never felt the need  smile  That plus a diffuse philosophical objection to handing over shedloads of personal information to be monetized by a for-profit company.) 

As far as prizes go, I always thought that a poster version of the schedule graphic that Teague did would be really nice.  (I'd happily buy one as a way of raising extra money.)  And it must be easy in this day and age to just take whatever the image file is and make posters, assuming the resolution is OK.

For the next hour, everything in this post is strictly based on the available facts.

Happy to help from here, you know, once the British have gotten a bit sleepy.

Never! But replace never with 'Almost certainly!'

Great, the other Brits have chimed in, typical, always following me around big_smile

Moderators: Will you PM the email address you're using in the chat?
