hi y'all!! i decided to make 2 vids on how to host a rd, one being for setting up the spreadsheet and the other being for revealing. this is not an instruction manual on what you MUST do, nor is this the only way you can host a rd. i'm sure there's way more spreadsheet formulas out there that i'm unaware of. this is simply what i found to work for me when hosting rds, you can feel free to implement as much or as few of the stuff i showcase as you wish. you may also feel free to use anything that someone over at totc compiled into this very extensive guide
i hope these vids help and good luck~
setting up the spreadsheet
revealing
a few quick notes on this: firstly i didn't showcase how to paste the stats after every set - but hint, if you followed the way i set it up, pasting transposed is your best friend
secondly yes the audio did become shitty for this one around 9:00 in, but the general gist of what i was saying in that was this: basically don't think you're expected to know how to host a 100 song rankdown or whatever right out the gate. start small, like 50 songs or so to give yourself enough familiarity on what works most efficiently for you for hosting a rankdown. you could host a 200 song rankdown and be garbage at it, it doesn't mean you'll be praised for it just for taking on an ambitious number of songs. remember, how good of a host you are depends on how good you are at planning the reveals, whether it takes a week or a month to finish it doesn't matter as long as you are consistent with it and engage your audience well. and also i don't personally prep movements in my personal pm since it's relatively easy for me to prep it quickly in the thread itself, but if you feel more comfortable prepping it in your pm, by all means go ahead and do it. also, i'd advise to leave at least a 5 minute gap between movements/previews and reveal posts to give people enough time to comment any guesses/thoughts on the reveals.
