docs: add social media account setup guide and reorganize social docs

Created comprehensive social media setup guide for Meg & Holly with: - Step-by-step signup instructions for 8 platforms (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Reddit, BlueSky) - Webmail access info (webmail.firefrostgaming.com) - Credentials (socials@firefrostgaming.com / Firefrost1234!) - Management tools setup (Buffer, Canva Pro, Linktree) - Fire/Frost branded PDF version for easy distribution Created new docs/social-media/ directory to consolidate all social media documentation: - account-setup-guide.md/.pdf (NEW - March 2026) - emissary-handbook.md (copied from planning/) - content-calendar.md (copied from planning/) - README.md (directory guide and organization) Also added copies to docs/planning/ for cross-reference. This unblocks Meg & Holly to set up all social accounts immediately. Original planning docs remain in place for backwards compatibility. Related to soft launch prep - social media presence is critical for March 2026 launch.

+
+---
+
+## **1\. Session Overview**
+
+This session focused on building a sustainable, high-impact social media strategy for **Firefrost Gaming** that Meg (The Emissary) can execute during her recovery. We established a 30-day "Road to Launch" calendar that balances the **Wizard's technical precision** with the **Emissary's community passion**, utilizing a centralized "Day 0" email infrastructure to minimize administrative strain.
+
+---
+

+
+---
+
+## **3\. Platform-Specific Strategies**
+
+### **TikTok (3-5x/week)**
+
+**Video Ideas:**
+
+* POV: You finally found a server that doesn't reset every month.  
+* "The Wizard" explaining 10x efficiency in 15 seconds.  
+* Jack the Husky "alerting" to a server crash (humorous).
+
+**Trending Sound Usage:**
+
+* Use "Transition" sounds to switch between the blue "Frost" aesthetic and the red "Fire" aesthetic.
+
+**Fire \+ Frost Themes:**
+
+* Split-screen videos: One side showing complex machinery (Frost), one side showing a magical garden (Fire).
+
+
+
+
+### **Twitter/X (1-3x/day)**
+
+**Daily Tweet Themes:**
+
+* **Technical Tuesdays:** Progress logs and "Frostwall" updates.  
+* **Fire Fridays:** Community spotlights.  
+* **Sunday Stats:** Transparency on server growth.
+
+**Thread Ideas:**
+
+* "The Architecture of a 12-Server Network."  
+* "Why the $1 Handshake is the future of anti-toxicity."
+
+**Hashtag Strategy:**
+
+* Primary: \#FirefrostGaming \#ModdedMinecraft  
+* Secondary: \#MNgaming \#IndieDev \#TheWizardAndTheEmissary
+
+### **Instagram (3-4x/week)**
+
+**Feed Aesthetic:**
+
+* A "Checkerboard" pattern alternating between high-saturation Fire (Red) and cool-tone Frost (Blue) graphics.
+
+**Reel Ideas:**
+
+* 7-second "loops" of the Firefrost Emblem with a "vibe" soundtrack.  
+* Quick "Meet the Team" clips.
+
+**Caption Formulas:**
+
+* \[Hook\] \+ \[3 Bullet points of value\] \+ \[CTA: Join the Hearth\].
+
+### **YouTube (2-3x/month)**
+
+**Long-Form Videos:**
+
+* "Firefrost Phase 0.5: The Technical Breakdown."  
+* "The Emissary's Guide to Joining the Community."
+
+**YouTube Shorts:**
+
+* Re-edited TikTok clips without the TikTok watermark.
+
+**SEO Strategy:**
+
+* Focus on: "Sustainable Minecraft Server," "Minnesota Gaming Community," "Modded Minecraft 2026."
+
+---
+
+## **4\. Content Pillar Breakdown**
+
+* **Behind the Scenes (20%):** The "Couch-Command-Center," Michael's server room, and pet cameos.  
+* **Fire vs Frost (30%):** Explaining the lore, the choices, and the $5 tiers.  
+* **Server Highlights (20%):** Showcasing specific mods (Ars Nouveau, Mystical Agriculture, Mekanism).  
+* **Educational (15%):** "How-to" guides for the $1 handshake and Discord syncing.  
+* **Engagement (15%):** Polls, "This or That" games, and comment replies.
+
+---
+
+## **5\. Pre-Launch Content Strategy**
+
+### **Anticipation Building**
+
+Use "Glitch" effects on graphics early in Week 1 to suggest something is "booting up."
+
+### **Founder Story Arc**
+
+Start with Michael’s technical vision (Precision), move to Meg’s community heart (Passion), and end with how they merged to create Firefrost.
+
+### **Sneak Peeks**
+
+Blurry screenshots of the "Bifrost Tunnels" or the server dashboard to create intrigue without revealing the full "Wizard" secrets too early.
+
+---
+
+## **6\. Post-Launch Content Strategy**
+
+### **Subscriber Spotlights**
+
+Weekly "Citizen of Firefrost" features on Instagram and Facebook.
+
+### **Event Coverage**
+
+Record "Fire vs. Frost" build battles and edit them into high-energy TikTok recaps.
+
+### **Community Celebrations**
+
+"Milestone" graphics for the first 10, 20, and 50 "Awakened" members.
+
+---
+
+
+
+## **7\. Meg's Workflow Guide**
+
+### **Content Batching**
+
+* **The Monday Batch:** Record all video footage for the week while the ring light is set up.  
+* **The Tuesday Edit:** Use CapCut Desktop to add captions and music.
+
+### **Scheduling Tools**
+
+* **Buffer:** Schedule all X, IG, and FB posts on Wednesday morning.
+
+### **Time Management**
+
+* **30-Minute Sprints:** Work for 30 mins, then elevate the ankle and check in with Jack.
+
+### **Performance Tracking**
+
+* Watch **"Discord Join Rate"** more than "Likes." If people are moving from TikTok to Discord, the content is working.
+
+---
+
+## **8\. Visual Content Guidelines**
+
+### **Fire-Themed Posts**
+
+* **Colors:** Red/Orange (\#FF4500).  
+* **Imagery:** Particles, flames, magical effects, community gatherings.
+
+### **Frost-Themed Posts**
+
+* **Colors:** Electric Cyan (\#00E5FF).  
+* **Imagery:** Crystals, blueprints, clean lines, server racks, snow.
+
+### **Combined Posts**
+
+* **Colors:** Purple/Magenta.  
+* **Imagery:** The "Collision" asset where red and blue meet.
+
+---
+
+
+
+
+## **9\. Engagement Tactics**
+
+### **Poll Ideas**
+
+* "Magic or Machinery: Which path calls to you?"  
+* "Should the next modpack be Magic-focused or Tech-focused?"
+
+### **Call-to-Actions**
+
+* "Drop a 🔥 if you're a Flamecrafter\!"  
+* "Click the link in bio to start your $1 Handshake."
+
+### **Response Templates**
+
+* "Welcome to the Hearth, \[Name\]\! 🔥"  
+* "The Wizard is checking the logs on that—stay tuned\! ❄️"
+
+---
+
+## **10\. Implementation Checklist**

+* \[ \] Set up socials@firefrostgaming.com and filters (Michael)  
+* \[ \] Connect accounts to **Buffer** (Meg)
