THE NEW GENERATION GROUP GUIDE
|
||
|
||
by
|
||
|
||
Beezlebart!
|
||
|
||
Well, after a short period of time, I decided to write a second New Generation
|
||
Guide. As you remember, when I speak of 'New Generation' I am referring to all
|
||
of you who have aquired your modem in the last months or so..
|
||
|
||
This guide will help you in your pursuits to set up, and run a user group. That
|
||
group can have many reasons for being formed, some such as:
|
||
-Pirating
|
||
-Phreaking
|
||
-Partying
|
||
-Authority
|
||
If you have trouble with any of these, there are plenty of files to help you
|
||
with some of those subjects.
|
||
|
||
First of all, for a good group, you must think of a name that is authorative,
|
||
and sounds powerful. The reactions of other users towards your group will be
|
||
in direct relationship to the 'powerfulness' of the name.
|
||
Here are a few ideas for you:
|
||
RUGGIE BURNERS OF AMERICA
|
||
THE MEAN DUDESTERS
|
||
WE RULE THE BBS SCENE ELITE!
|
||
KNIGHTS OF DARKNESS
|
||
SUPREME TRIBUNAL ELITE!
|
||
Be sure to name of your group according to what you want to accoplish with the
|
||
group.. Such as, if you just want to be knon, and respected, I would suggest
|
||
any of the above.. If you are a party group, call yourself the 'Though Police'.
|
||
Heh, no just joking, if you are a party group, try something like 'THE BEER
|
||
GUZZLERS ELITE AT 300 BAUD' or something to that effect.
|
||
Be original, and make sure to use 'psuedo-spellings', such as instead of a name
|
||
like 'COOL DUDES OF DEATH', call yourselfs the 'K00l D00DZ OF DETH!', or
|
||
something like that.. All appropriate letter combination substittions can be
|
||
found in the 'New Generation Sysops Guide.'.
|
||
|
||
Next, for you to have a good group, you need members. If you run a BBS
|
||
that you set up using the 'New Geneation Sysops Guide', then pot this message
|
||
in your announcements. If not, post it on a BBS you call regularily.
|
||
|
||
Here is a typical 'recruit' message, and will work best for your uses.
|
||
|
||
TITLE: NEED MEMBRRS!!!!!!!
|
||
|
||
First, lets look at the title.. It should be in upper case, and hav quite a
|
||
few explanation marks. That will attract more users to read your message.
|
||
|
||
DATE POSTED: XX/XX/86
|
||
BY: YOU!
|
||
|
||
OK, DUDES! WE ARE STARTING A NEW GROUP.
|
||
|
||
[First line- Declare it a new group, so users will know it new, and won't get
|
||
it confused with a existing one..]
|
||
|
||
IF YOU THINK YOU ARE K-K00L, THEN PLEEEZE LEAVE ME EMAIL.
|
||
|
||
[Second line: First, make sure they know that they must be K00l, before they
|
||
can oin your group. But, there is a mistake here. Instead of telling them
|
||
to leave you E-mail, just give your voice number. That way, it can get star--
|
||
ed quicker, and will be benificial for everyone to know there group leaders
|
||
phone number.]
|
||
|
||
Ok, then finish by filling the rest of your message inText Graphics, then sign
|
||
off, always embedding backspaces in your name, and then we come to the most
|
||
important part.. Signing ff with the group nme. Letssay your group name
|
||
was the 'Beer Guzzlers'.. Now you can abbreviate it to "TBG" for this example.
|
||
|
||
YOUR NAME/LOOKING FOR MEMBERS TO THE
|
||
******** ***** *****
|
||
** * * * *
|
||
** ***** *
|
||
** * * * ****
|
||
** * * * *
|
||
** ***** *****
|
||
|
||
Big text letters ALWAYS have a tendancy to show POWER, and you will find that
|
||
immediately you have respect for your group..
|
||
When you have your membrs, you will have to make sue to teach them exactly
|
||
how to sign off like that as to keep your signoffs uniform amongst members.
|
||
Make sure that all your mebers know that if they don't sign off like that,
|
||
they will be kicked out of the group.
|
||
|
||
Now, what do the members do upon encountering someone raggin on the group?
|
||
|
||
Here are a few examples for 'come backs':
|
||
|
||
'I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I?!??!?!??!!??!???'
|
||
'DON'T BE A DICKLESS MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE!'
|
||
'I AM IN THE <WHATEVER> GROUP, SO SHUT UP!'
|
||
'HEY MAN IF YOU DON'T SHUT YOUR FACE, WE WILL COME OVER THERE AND BEAT UP YOUR
|
||
GRNDMOTHER AND RUN OVER YOUR DOG'
|
||
'YOU BETTER QUIT RAGGING ON US, YOU RUGGGGGGIEEE!!!!!!!!'
|
||
'I KNOW YOUR PHONE NUMBER NYAH NYAH NYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!'
|
||
'THE SYSOP IS MY FRIEND!'
|
||
|
||
So you can see, when you encounter ragging, then just counter act it with more.
|
||
It ALWAYS works.
|
||
|
||
Now, here are a few tis for 'Group Get-Togethers'.
|
||
|
||
Most of your embers will not drive, so they will need a ride.. Thus, you
|
||
should make the meating place, or the party place, at a relatively easy place
|
||
for everyone to find.
|
||
.Like Maplewood Mall..
|
||
ell, where ever you decide to have the party, make sure everyone brings over
|
||
T-Shirts, then take a black marker, and paint on it,
|
||
"We are the big bad <GROUP AME>", and if you ever go toPirate Parties, or
|
||
any other parties, where there will be members of different groups, or jst
|
||
users there, make sure you were them. Also, if oou meet at Maplewood Mall,
|
||
where it arond the stores for awhile.
|
||
|
||
The main thing to remember about running a group can be summed up in one line:
|
||
"Sound, Act, Post, and Think POWER"
|
||
The more power you express will influence on howmuch respect you get. If you
|
||
post something and get ragged on by someone, and you don't come back very*
|
||
authorative, you have just lost your power, and you migtt have to re-name the
|
||
group.
|
||
In fact, a good group is often re-named 5-10 times before they stick with one.
|
||
So don't feel bad.. Change the name once a week, until you iind one you like.
|
||
|
||
Well, I hope this file helpdd some of you understand how a good group is run,
|
||
and willhelp you set up one, run it, and all the necessities of a group.
|
||
The next file you will see is 'The New Generation Programmers Guide.',
|
||
including some very prorams that you can add to you BBS that you set up using
|
||
'The New Generation Sysops Guide.'!
