THE NEW GENERATION GROUP GUIDE
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
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.'!
