Idiot Guide

Welcome to the Idiot Club

Here is everything you can do inside the club and how to do it. Work through it at your own pace - the more you put in, the more your profile fills out.

Rate the Discography

Your ratings build your personal stats page - averages, your top records, era breakdowns, and a GDFM Score that stacks you up against the rest of the club.

  1. Head to your account and open the Ratings tab.
  2. Give every album and song a star rating. You can update them any time.
  3. When you are done, hit Recalculate Stats to rebuild your profile.
TipRate first, recalculate last. The Recalculate Stats button can only be used once per day, so make all your ratings before you press it - otherwise you will be waiting until tomorrow to see the rest show up.

Earn Badges

Badges show off what you have done across the club. Discord, Concerts, and Collection badges show every badge you can chase; Ratings badges only appear once earned.

  1. Badges live on your profile overview and unlock automatically as you qualify.
  2. Greyed-out badges are goals - the label tells you exactly what to do.
  3. Repeat achievements like Nuclear Family stack up with a x2, x3, and beyond.
Example: your badges

✓Vinyl Enthusiast
✓Roadie

Play the Setlist Game

Predict the setlist before a show, earn points for hits, and climb the standings. Nail a rare song nobody expects and the bonus points pile up.

  1. Open the Setlist Game and pick the songs you think they will play, in order.
  2. Answer any bonus questions if you are feeling confident.
  3. After the show, your picks are scored automatically and the standings update.
TipRead the rules before your first game - scoring rewards getting songs in the right spot and predicting rare "bustouts", and bonus questions can be added right up until 24 hours before showtime.
