Overview
To see posting an entry in action, see this page
Every turn you take in your game, login and hit the New Entry button in the top left. Its important you make 1 posting per turn. Do not save them up until the game is over as this puts a strain on your Commentator.
Enter a Title for your entry but bear in mind its possible for your opponent to read your entry titles. Not the contents, just the titles. I would recommend you stick to generic titles like "Deployment", "Turn 1", "Turn 2" rather than "Ha ha ha, he'll never expect Greys!"
In the pull down box titled Primary Category select the correct category for the game being played.
This is very important
Then categories are arranged like this:-
- Commentator
- Player 1 Vs Player 2
- Player 1's View
- Player 2's View
- Player 1 Vs Player 2
If you are player 1, select Player 1's View. If you are playing multiple MLSN games (you nutter!) then make sure you are in the correct games area. The category can be changed later, but its much easier all round if this is set right in the first place.
Type up your entry including any screenshots you want to add and then click Save at the bottom. Make any mroe changes you want, saving them each time.
Once you are completely happy with your entry click the link at the very bottom of the page that reads "Transfer ownership of this entry" . Select your Commentator from the drop down list and click the Transfer button. Once this is done you can make no further changes to the entry.
Now go off and worry about what's going to happen when the turn comes back!
Comments

Is player 1 the challenger of the game?

The Player1/Player2 thing is just for an example. In a real game the actual players names are used for the categories.
I'm glad you found the animated tutorial useful!
