There are multiple avenues for sending in your shout-out for the chance to be read on air:
The official shout-out thread for that night's episode on this forum. ONLY that thread. Do not post individual shout-out threads, they will not be read and you risk being banned from the forum. The official shout-out thread will open up an hour or two before the live show and will be pinned to the top of the forum, in the section below Announcements.
Via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/1vs100XboxLIVE - During the live show, @1vs100XboxLive your shout-outs
Via Email: liveshow@xbox.com
Things you shouldn't do:
Spam the forums - Individual shout out threads will not be read. Post in the appropriate place. Posting multiple shout-out threads is a quick way to get banned from the forum, but little else.
Include personal information in the forum post - If you include your phone number in your shout-out on the forum it will not be read and will likely be removed for your protection. Be smart, don't include your personal info online.
Private Message or in dash message the forum moderators - We're not part of the in-studio crew. Messaging the mods isn't going to get your shout-out read.
Creating a Good Shout-Out:
Via Adam Danger:
"Listing off gamertags covers a lot of your friends in one shout-out, but it's not good practice. We're looking for something more substantial about your experience, so adding a simple element of that to the people you are shouting out to is immeasurably better than a simple list of 'please shout out X, Y, and Z thanks.'
Never ever never never nerver spam the board. Awful way to get yourself noticed, fairly inconsiderate to the other people you're drowning out, etc. You know this is a bad thing. Why would you do it anyway?
You don't have to try too hard. Go for something simple, something reflecting the reality of your play, something off-the-wall - be creative, but light. Keeping it brief, while retaining something compelling, personable, and funny - that's the perfect shout-out.
It’s a conversation, right? Imagine Chris relating what you’re saying to a game -- with many thousands of Xbox LIVE players -- in a way that is entertaining for all. No pressure."
