Cool Xeo

Bang access is access to Bang, which is what SSC billing uses to ban people intelligently. To get real Bang access, you will have to have an appropriate position in an SSC-billed zone (mod perhaps, sysop, owner, etc).

Most good servers aside from SSC, however, have something like Bang, often with very similar commands.

You run a zone on SSXH? You should have access to such a banning system. If you never received such access then the admins have been slacking off. You would login into it by typing "?login password". And then you would be able to do all sorts of things as listed in ... um, I think it's "?bhelp" in SSXH.

As for the population, it's tricky for brand new zones. The golden rule is: "people = more people = MORE people". So if you have a staff, ask them to play A LOT for a good amount of time at probably a specific time...like just have a big play-a-thon one day. Ask people that come in to bring friends (tell them not to advertise, though =P). Hold events in public, like special "zone-opening prizes" (or whatever you want to call it, if anything) for people that do well. Keep them playing while other people come in. Ultimately, if your zone is fun and you can get ANY number of steady players, then more players will come.

for the non-mathematically inclined there is an even simpler way to understand it

people = sheep

Delta has been a lazy dood ever since he got this shiny new connection for his server.
He probably doesn't even know that zone exists, except on the times when it goes down... which can be quite often

And Akai.... I would never put something as bad as ?bhelp into a biller.
?man is much easier to type

Well, using proper capitalization and a spell checker can help

from my extensive research the magic number is 8. Then the zone will continue to grow if people are actively seeking it.

Ok I know the whole people= more people = MORE people but the only problem is the "people" part. I have only 3 people as staff coz everyone that applys for staff in my zone are eather Retared, Stoned, Drunk, or just plain stupid. I will try to host a "prizing day" sometime in January and I expect ALL OF YOU to be in there and you cant say you dont know because I will post it in a forum here.

As for Bang access.. do you think delta would give me access if he knew i existed? considering the fact that my server is the one always down maybe thats why my populations wont go up... COZ THE ZONE IS NEVER UP!!!! how retarded can Qwest thingy be? it can only go down so often... delta proly spilled beer on the server... can someone else host me??? like SSWC or sumthing? I like delta's hosting but I do want to be actually online for more than 2 days a week... Someone who can ask someone on SSWC for hosting my zone please tell me... alternatavly I may hafta shut down my zone because it wont go anywhere anyway if it is offline... and may hafta wait till next chrismas or so b4 i get "my own server" which hopefully will be A.S.A.P.... a new Dell high speed server with multi format capabilty with one of the best running speeds possible for $900 I CANT WAIT!!!

no ,we're not here to play your zone on request (at least.... i dont think we are). you could, however, ask us how to write bots that act kind of like real people... maybe that would fool some people...

about SSC, welcome to the universe. Here things dont make any sense. read catch-22. that makes the most sense of anything and it makes absolutely no sense... people are even worse. they dont even want to make sense.

You need the IQ of a broken dot-matrix printer to get it to work, sorry

You're supposed to work this thing with a thing called "the brain"

Maybe a more exact question would be... more exact?
