┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ Dear Reader : │
│ │
│ We're baaaaaaack!!! The editors of Reality Check Network took a │
│ short break about 3 months ago, but we've decided that the scene │
│ currently lacks a comprehensive magazine to inform the warez public of │
│ new things that occur. So, we're back, and better than ever!!! │
│ │
│ There are a number of new things in this issue. First of all, part │
│ of the coding has been redone, so RCN has a new look. Next, we now have │
│ a pop-up options menu that can be activated from anywhere in the │
│ magazine, so if you're in the middle of reading an article and want to │
│ change something (such as the music volume) you can do so without │
│ exiting the article first. This issue also contains a "secret article." │
│ Well no, it's not completely secret, but to read it, you'll need a │
│ password, and to get that password, you'll have to beat the built-in │
│ game! Good luck! │
│ │
│ As always, we value your opinion. Improvements are constantly being │
│ made as a direct result of user input. If you would like to participate │
│ in the further enhancement of RCN, or would like to send a letter to the │
│ editors (or to a writer in particular) please send e-mail to │
│ [email protected]. Note that we are no longer accepting │
│ subscribers to the magazine. The reason is that the anon.penet.fi │
│ server will not let us send attached files over 100k in size unless we │
│ split them up, and that would be confusing for both us and the readers. │
│ To make up for that, we offer a WWW site accessible via the Internet. │
│ All issues will be promptly posted there. For more information, read │
│ on. │
│ │
│ In an effort to better interact with our readers, the editors of │
│ RCN have devised a reader survey, and would appreciate it if you would │
│ take the time to respond to it. After completion of the survey, you │
│ simply need to send it attached to the above e-mail address. Note that │
│ we prefer NOT getting messages encoded in MIME format. We also have a │
│ voting booth so the readers can give input on their favorite groups. │
│ │
│ New this issue are some little twirks that might sizzle your buns! │
│ For those of you that feel more confortable holding a mouse, we now have │
│ mouse support! Oh, and for those of you that want to take RCN with you │
│ wherever you go, you can now print articles and/or the entire mag (if │
│ you're really cray-zee). Oh, and if you hate that rotating music that │
│ we added last issue, you can turn it on and off in the Options menu. │
│ Note that it defaults to off. We also have a new music track care of │
│ Reality, the best Adlib composing team around! │
│ │
│ Don't forget to keep sending in your votes for the groups you feel │
│ are #1, and test your wits of the scene in our Warez-IQ questionnaire, │
│ 10 new questions in this issue! We still have an ASCII version of the │
│ mag for those of you running UNIX/Linux, or those of you that want to │
│ save credits on your boards and view the RCN-??.TXT file in a ZIP <g>. │
│ │
│ RCN issues have now been made available to a wider audience thanks │
│ to our new WebSite courtesy of RATM. Please feel free to browse around │
│ - http://www.shu.edu/~importmi/rcn/. RCN ardently feels that our │
│ WebSite will satisfy our readers and is a welcome addition to our │
│ methods of distribution. │
│ │
│ Celestian, the RCN ANSi art coordinator, will no longer be accepting │
│ any requests for ANSi artwork outside of RCN. Between his artwork for │
│ RCN and DMN, he can longer find time to do any freelance artwork. He │
│ has been receiving requests nonstop and would like to have a little │
│ peace here and then. │

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ I see an obvious bias in the RCN reviews against DOD in favor of ║
║ higher scores toward PWA, and it sickens me. I think your magazine is ║
║ STUPID for doing this, and hope that you will soon understand how ║
║ kick-ass DOD is and how shitty PWA is. Thank you. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ Your ratings of PWA are waaay too low. You're not giving an awesome ║
║ group credit for its awesome work. DOD, on the other hand, consistently ║
║ gets a higher average per release when they only release once a month. ║
║ That's complete bullshit and unfair to the guys in PWA. ║

║ ║
║ Dear Readers, ║
║ ║
║ Alright, this is the last time (until next time) that we're going to ║
║ post any messages about us being biased. We intentionally dropped ║
║ Legacy when we started up RCN again for the sole purpose of keeping an ║
║ unbiased position when writing. We have absolutely no reason to be ║
║ biased towards or against anybody, and any mail that you might send us ║
║ regarding the matter will be used purely for the purpose of a good ║
║ laugh. ║
║ ║
║ Now as for my opinions on PWA vs. DOD, I think DOD has better ║
║ quality, and PWA has more releases. However, that is just a reflection ║
║ of the past four weeks and is in NO WAY a consistent view of the groups. ║
║ My opinion of the groups fluctuates weekly. One week, PWA does better, ║
║ the next week DOD does better. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ I'm a member of Razor 1911 and I've been reading your E-Zine and I ║
║ think it's great. LOTS of articles that keep you reading for a long ║
║ time. Now, I have a gripe. In your Warez-IQ test, question #4 states, ║
║ "What group is known for releasing FLOPPY games?" You only desired one ║
║ answer, but Eclipse and Razor 1911 are the best candidates. Now I know ║
║ you wanted people to choose Eclipse, but the thing is, Eclipse hasn't ║
║ released a floppy in MONTHS! Razor 1911 on the other hand, has released ║
║ a handful (probably two in the last week alone). ║
║ ║
║ Also, Tyranny is releasing floppy games as well, as they are one of ║
║ the old school floppy game releasers (not saying the old Tyranny floppy ║
║ releases were quality, but at least they were floppy). ║

║ Dear Toast, ║
║ ║
║ Thank you for your response! You make a good point in revealing ║
║ that some CD-RIP game groups do a better job of releasing floppy games ║
║ than some floppy-only game groups. However, our question desired a ║
║ response regarding a games group that releases nothing but floppy games, ║
║ no CD-RIPs whatsoever, and Eclipse is the only one on that list. ║
║ Tyranny has recently moved to CD-RIPs as well, and Razor 1911 (I don't ║
║ distinguish Razor 1911 from Razor-CD), though an awesome group, is also ║
║ participating in the CD-RIP scene. Eclipse was the only choice in the ║
║ list that releases only floppy games. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ I'm really mad at RCN for making that Space Invaders game, it was ║
║ too hard to beat!!! Then, I found out that it was because I was in the ║
║ stupid Windows 95 window, so I got into full screen DOS, and it was much ║
║ easier. I'd like to say that Mad RCN was especially funny. Especially ║
║ the article on tKRP and Winterhauk, that made me LAUGH for ages!!! ║
║ Finally, I find someone that thinks Winterhauk is an annoying punk ass ║
║ bitch that can't get none in real life. Tuxedo Mask, greets go out to ║
║ you!!! That Winterhauk must sure be pissed, good job guys, and in the ║
║ future, if you want any more ideas for RCN, I'd be happy to contribute. ║
║ ║
║ Also, is that Chicken-Watch article for real??? Dam that Rebel ║
║ Chicken needs some help. What the hell is wrong with him? Does he like ║
║ not have a dick or something? I can't believe he'd get Hitex to call ║
║ that Morgan girl for him. That's just unbelievable, getting a friend to ║
║ ask a girl out for him. That's just plain sad. ║
║ ║
║ Well, I don't want to sound all dickish. I'd like to wish Rebel ║
║ Chicken good luck with the opposite sex. I'd also like to say to Rebel ║
║ Chicken that he shouldn't worry so much about talking to girls, if you ║
║ act natural, girls would be a lot more easy to come by. I used to be ║
║ scared of girls like you, but not anymore, and now I get on girls all ║
║ the time. Do as I say, and you'll have chicks all over you in no time ║
║ (but not before school's over). ║

║ only "official" RCN site. However, we will not dispute any other sites ║

║ coordinating our current site and we feel that he is doing as good a job ║
║ as anyone else could do, if not far better. However, RATM is a busy ║
║ man, and we don't want to overload him with other sites for him to ║
║ update. So, I make the request of you : if you would like to put up a ║
║ WWW site containing some or all of RCN's issues, we will welcome the ║
║ offer. However, it will be up to you to update the site weekly, and ║
║ keep it up to par. We will, in support of your site, advertise it in ║
║ future issues of RCN (assuming you notify us of your work). ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ I recently cruised into #Warez5 for a few hours and was suprised how ║
║ many times the word 'LAMER' came up. People were kicked for every ║
║ reason possible and labeled as a 'LAMER'. It's rather funny since most ║
║ of the people in the warez channels are faggots who leech in channel ║
║ #Fatefiles and talk about how ELITE they are. Lame people seem to use ║
║ the term 'LAMER' to define anyone who they don't like. ║
║ ║
║ People who are more into the group scene usually define lamers as ║
║ people who have a bad attitude or are lazy. It seems that the farther a ║
║ person gets in the scene the less inclined he is to brand some one a ║
║ 'LAMER'. They also view lameness as having a bad attitude or acting ║
║ like an asshole to others without reason. The term 'LAMER' is way over ║
║ used in the scene. ║

║ Let's face it, the people that operate in #Warez5 are their own ║
║ bait. I have absolutely nothing against the #WarezX channels. It just ║
║ happens to be that they happen not to be my cup of tea, but whenever I ║
║ do join the channels, I am often amused at how people get kicked left ║
║ and right for being a 'LAMER', and all this by people who are lamers ║
║ themselves. You are absolutely right in this matter. However, about ║
║ #FateFiles, (#Exceed in case you didn't know it changed) the channel is ║
║ there to be leeched from, and I encourage all people, whether one I ║
║ would label as a 'LAMER' or not, to go there first when looking for ║
║ recent files. Honestly, you get to leech and never get off IRC!!! ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ I have noticed lately that PCBoard PPEs are all looking the same ║
║ with only a few mods in the ansi's or strings. It's time for some of ║
║ you BBS modders to go out and start making Renegade or Iniquity mods. ║
║ PCBoard is getting old fast. It's file system is second to none (mostly ║
║ due to Boom Lab), but its message system is weak. If there exists a new ║
║ system that has the file system of PCBoard with the message bases of ║
║ Renegade and Oblivion 2, can exist, modders should start to support it. ║
║ ║
║ Iniquity is a nice looking BBS system. Once it gets its bugs with ║
║ blind uploads and networking/multinode out of the way it will be a kick ║
║ ass system. PPE coders should start to look at other systems since just ║
║ about every PPE that could possibly be done is already made. The reason ║
║ that PCBoard is so popular is that there are so many mods for it out on ║
║ the boards. Coders should start making new Renegade and Iniquity mods ║
║ that take all the strengths of PCBoard and give it to those systems. ║
║ Boards that use PCBoard are beginning to look all the same with all the ║
║ same or similar mods. There is a need for Renegade and Ininuqity ║
║ modders who can make quality mods. Some of you coders should start ║
║ cranking them out. ACiD used to be the only group that had a Renegade ║
║ and Iniquity support section. It would be cool if some warez groups ║
║ started to recruit some artists and coders and put them to work making ║
║ practical. ║

║ Dear Skeelo Blow, ║
║ ║
║ I used to be a Renegade freak. I still think it's by far the most ║
║ user-friendly BBS system, and I still don't know half of what PCBoard ║
║ can do because it's so hard to figure out. I have the 4 commands I ║
║ know and need to use to be able to get around, leech, upload, and read ║
║ messages, and I don't think my knowledge of PCBoard will get much better ║
║ any time soon. However, you're going to have a hard time arguing that ║
║ any other system is superior. Why? Simple. Try running Renegade in ║
║ multinode. 2 nodes? Cool. Try 3. Still alive? You're lucky. Try ║
║ 16, like some of the larger boards in the scene (such as Park Central) ║
║ and you'll qickly find a crash. PCB is the only system I know of that ║
║ can do that so well (except for WildCat, but I don't think I need to ║
║ waste my time commenting). Still, though, I agree that it would be ║
║ nice if he Renegade modification groups came back around, many single ║
║ node boards still run it. ║

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ Reporter : Krypto Interviewee : Dr. Jekyl ║
║ Subject : Stockade Affiliation : n/a ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : What exactly is Stockade? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Stockade is the mother of all toad blowers. It's kind of my ║
║ dedication to #Oldwarez. It's a big old bot, run from my own ║
║ StockServ software, that contains at the time 479 of the best old ║
║ games. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What are your current and past affiliations? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : I began with MiRAGE several years back (best run group I've ever ║
║ been in - Thanks Kafka F. Kaska), it then merged and became GRiM. ║
║ GRiM merged with iCE, so I joined a bunch of local groups (CHAOS, ║
║ NARC, MoS), then BoA and after a while iCE. I quit iCE after 2-3 ║
║ days of being in it because I realized that it was all bullshit, ║
║ no sense in being in that kind of group. I had no affiliations ║
║ for two years until fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) stalked me. ║
║ I then joined 8088 which is now a defunct old warez release and ║
║ courier group which fell apart. I quit fATE and that was it for ║
║ me. I probably won't join any more groups. I never got into that ║
║ kr4d 3l33t idea of affiliations anyways. I can survive on my ║
║ handle alone. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : fATE stalked you, or did a persistent Krypto persuade you to join? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Thanks to some friends I made in #Hardwire from the "Under the ║
║ Gate" project on CyberGate, (namely Krypto, Aristotle, and ║
║ Devaste) I hung out in #Fate. Then, I saw the fATE's diz-tagger, ║
║ and lauged. I coded a better diz-tagger and Anti Derivative let ║
║ me into the group. Now my diz-tagger has been all hacked up and ║
║ is used by a lot of courier groups (too bad they never got the ║
║ latest version though). Then I couriered my sweet will heart out ║
║ (10.5 gigs per day babee!). ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What made you decide to come up with Stockade? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : I started to get interested in old warez back in December when I ║
║ was with fATE. I began to offer them, and my offer list grew to ║
║ the point of having 131 files on one XDCC List, I plisted in ║
║ #Oldwarez every 45 minutes, until I thought of a better way which ║
║ would be to automatically distribute automated text files with the ║
║ file list/descriptions in them. Then I worked from there into ║
║ what it is now. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : The newest warez are what people seem to want most and is the ║
║ heart of the business. Have you seen a similar resurgence in old ║
║ warez? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Not at all, in fact, I've seen more and more people cramming to ║
║ get into #Oldwarez. The channel has only grown since I first ║
║ joined it 18 months ago. People are fed up with 50 disk Doom ║
║ clones that sometimes work, but only on a Pentium 166MHz with 16 ║
║ megabytes of RAM. I think the smart people are the ones dealing ║
║ with #Oldwarez. Then they're dealing with games that have been ║
║ proven to work, games that are programmed well and games that have ║
║ GAMEPLAY. I haven't played a game written in the past two years ║
║ with any sense of gameplay in it. It's all shoot-em-up, bang'em ║
║ out Doom clones and such. They're all mindless dribble to feed ║
║ the masses I suppose. What happened to the good stuff such as ║
║ Populous, Curse of the Azure Bonds, King's Quest IV, Dune II, ║
║ etc.? I feel that the only game released in the past year or so ║
║ with any decent quality is Command and Conquer, but then again, it ║
║ only works well on a Pentium platform. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How much old warez do you pile in every day? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : I get around 40 to 60 megs of uploads per day. Some of the ║
║ uploaded games are already online, some of the uploaded games ║
║ suck, and some are just way too big or too new. But there's ║
║ usually about 10-20 games I can pick out per day to add onto the ║
║ bot. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : You were originally a member of fATE. What made you decide to ║
║ leave fATE and was it your plan to leave fATE in order to further ║
║ develop Stockade? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Yes, I was originally in fATE (which by the way, was a REAL ║
║ hardcore rocking group, at least when I was in it). Besides being ║
║ paranoid of my shell administrator, and being fed up with some of ║
║ the really unfair shit going on in groups, I did for a large part ║
║ leave so I could work on the old warez business. You can say that ║
║ I finally "saw the light" and joined up with the #Oldwarez crew to ║
║ work on Stockade, which was originally nothing more than an ║
║ extremely long XDCC List called "OldJekyl". ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Are you glad you left fATE for the old warez scene? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : I miss a lot of the old fATE crew, but those guys aren't even in ║
║ fATE anymore anyways. I do miss the 5 am login to the sites, ║
║ writing my DCC lists, and running my XDCC-HTML convertor to make ║
║ the WWW for the slowbies. There was a sort of a "thrill" involved ║
║ with new warez, an infatuation I suppose. Everyone wants to try ║
║ the new warez, but in the end, old games are always more sought ║
║ out after. I'm very glad I left the new shit alone. The old ║
║ warez scene is more "homely" and down to earth. And when you get ║
║ a game, you know that there's a 99% chance it's not a fake. Old ║
║ warez, to put it short and sweet, blows the toad right outta any ║
║ new warez any day of the week. Well, maybe Windows v1.03 isn't ║
║ that attractive, but I'm referring to games :) ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How often is Stockade accessed every day? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Stockade transfers about 500-1000 games a day. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Where do you get most of your files from for Stockade? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : All the warez from Stockade come completely from donations. ║
║ Stockade is Stockade IV right now, which means it's the 4th time ║
║ it's started over from scratch. In old warez, if you offer, you ║
║ can get mostly any game your heart desires. So I just called out ║
║ for donations, and then gave those people who donated some leech ║
║ benefits, and so on. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you feel the old warez scene is overlooked and taken for ║
║ granted? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Overlooked? Yes. It's overlooked by a mass populous of the ║
║ "w4r3z-k1dd13s", which is good. #Oldwarez isn't a place for ║
║ newbies who don't understand DOS or UNIX. It's meant for people ║
║ who know what they're doing (for the most part anyways). I think ║
║ it's advantageous that it's overlooked in that respect. We ║
║ already have all the good people in it. I'm not sure how the old ║
║ warez scene can be taken for granted though, every scene is. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Stockade has been down 3 times prior. What problems can account ║
║ for these 3 shutdowns? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : I got shut down because of my stupidity. I used the ISP's ║
║ "ghosted" FTP server as an uploads site. Once I found out that ║
║ they found the warez, it was instant rm -R. Stockade II went down ║
║ because of more paranoia. No biggy. Stockade III went down ║
║ because I was stupid yet again. Since my ISP is pretty much ║
║ abandoned, and no one but me really IRCs from it, I decided to ║
║ make the source code world-writable so I could access it from all ║
║ my accounts. BIG BOOBOO! One of the ISP dorks, who used to be ║
║ the cosysop of a big warez board in 305 ironically, felt that he ║
║ did not like the fact that I was using up the ISP's resources. So ║
║ he planted a small backdoor into the code so that whenever I ║
║ updated the .NFO/WWW/.DCC data files, it would email the root, "I ║
║ am the hacker." The root didn't like that. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Way before you started Stockade, and even before fATE, you were ║
║ involved in a warez operation called "The Gate." What was that? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : "The Gate" or "Under the Gate" was my experiment in bourne shell ║
║ coding on CyberGate. I stumbled upon a group of piraters on ║
║ gate.net which had pooled their quota's together so they could get ║
║ warez from each other. So I then made "The Gate" a BBS-type ║
║ atmosphere (complete with file areas, graffiti walls, etc.), and ║
║ got a few hacked accounts together to create what you could say ║
║ was a 0-day BBS which offered 200 megs of 0-day warez, all run ║
║ from CyberGate. Unfortunately, one of the system administrators ║
║ noticed that there were lots of users accessing a certain ║
║ directory (even with all my encryption ploys) and managed to bust ║
║ all the hacked accounts along with a few legitimate ones. ║
║ Ironically, I talked to that system administrator a month ago and ║
║ he suggested that I restart CyberGate. Unfortunatley I'm moving ║
║ to Sweden soon. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Many people had to log onto BBSes to retrieve old warez, was the ║
║ Stockade created as an alternative to this hassle? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Stockade was created as a "BBS over IRC" type deal. Many BBSes do ║
║ not offer old warez anymore. Stockade is an intelligent tool that ║
║ helps to distribute and increase the variety of old warez in ║
║ #Oldwarez. I got rather bored of the same old warez being offered ║
║ day in and day out. I think Stockade has been rather successful. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why is Stockade consisted of only games? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : I used to run a new utils bot as well called [Spatula], but I ║
║ found it was a lot easier to find new utils than old games. It's ║
║ like looking for today's newspaper, as opposed to trying to find ║
║ the New York times from April, 1947. I didn't want to offer old ║
║ utils, because they're useless. I find it more of a joke than ║
║ anything else. I deleted [Spatula] eventually because I wanted to ║
║ have the hard disk space to further expand the library of games ║
║ found on Stockade. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I've noticed the offer bot's online handle changes ever so ║
║ frequently. Why is this done? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : The handle changes quite frequently due to the evils of word of ║
║ mouth. While I do like the fact that many people are using ║
║ Stockade, I don't want many of the WRONG people using Stockade. ║
║ This prevents people from channels other than #Oldwarez from using ║
║ Stockade, and so mean old nasty NARC's don't find it... ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Is Stockade run off a custom sript or is it based on other ║
║ offering scripts? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : The "HEART" of Stockade is StockServ v2.1, which is my own 100% ║
║ original design, coded in 100% bourne shell (bourne shell is 100% ║
║ compatible on EVERY ISP) which automatically creates the DCC ║
║ datafile, NFO file, and the optional WWW. StockServ interacts ║
║ with IRC via a frontend, which is your standard every day IRC ║
║ script tweaked to support StockServ. It comes in two flavors ║
║ right now, VeNoM and Atlantis, and eventually there will be Fluff ║
║ Phoenix and mIRC (via a DOS version of StockServ due out soon). ║
║ The brilliant part of StockServ is that there's NO compiling ║
║ required (for those hard-assed administrators who don't allow it), ║
║ and that you can actually IRC your bot as if it were a normal IRC ║
║ script. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : All files on Stockade are free, correct? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Stockade is 100% free with no minimum transfer speeds. I would ║
║ never operate any differently. The only restriction is the number ║
║ of slots, which is 3 for non-donators, and unlimited for donators. ║
║ #Oldwarez is about free unrestricted old warez. Therefore, so is ║
║ Stockade. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Stockade was once available via the WWW. What happened to this ║
║ option? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : StockServ does automatically program the WWW interface, but the ║
║ reason why Stockade no longer has a WWW site is that there are no ║
║ longer any fast anonymous FTP's for me to use. So alas, it's only ║
║ IRC this time. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Where can people go for more information on Stockade? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : To begin with, don't bother the people in #Oldwarez about it. ║
║ They get annoyed about it and they won't crack either. You can ║
║ message me, I'll probably be away though, if I like you, I might ║
║ reply. But the best way to get on Stockade would be to get ║
║ involved with #Oldwarez, just hang out with the crew. Lamers need ║
║ not bother. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Where should people send their donations? ║
║ ║
║ DRJ : Just DCC them over to me. If they're old, and not too insanely ║
║ huge, I'll add it to the Stockade. By the way, a Stockade CD is ║
║ in the works. ║

║ didn't almost kill the group the night he left. Igor almost did ║
║ though because obviously he did most of the work for months, which ║
║ shouldn't happen in a group. It's very hard running a 1 man group ║
║ and some couriers. Igor always loved M8 but MASON just wasn't ║
║ showing up so Igor quit for MALiCE and Davan quit for Amnesia, ║
║ both of which are top groups and I don't blame them. I just ║
║ wished they'd give it another week. Oh well, but like I said, ║
║ Igor left for a reason and I agree with his actions. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How has Igor's absence effected M8? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Well Igor had a FTP site that he was co-site operator on. One of ║
║ the best in the world. We lost it when he went to MALiCE. He ║
║ made sure everyone was cool and just hearing the fact that Igor ║
║ left made couple top people quit for other groups. Oh well, I've ║
║ got the group doing a lot better. I got FTP sites and couriers. ║
║ Unlike other groups I have a real easy time finding FTP sites. I ║
║ find us 2 a week usually, we currently got quite a few. That's ║
║ what's keeping us alive, our FTP sites and site operators. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : For what reasons do you feel Davan left M8? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Davan quit for the same reason. Davan was just a courier in most ║
║ people's opinions. He did good, but he made the couriering part ║
║ for us great along with Igor. Davan was offered to go to Amnesia ║
║ and they are mostly winning everywhere along with RiSC, DGT, ║
║ MALiCE, RTS, or whatever you think. When he left, it didn't ║
║ really hurt us but his couriering hurt us. When Igor quit, THAT ║
║ almost killed us. Most of the members knew that Igor ran the ║
║ group for the most part. He merged M8 with tNt so M8 wouldn't die ║
║ after he left. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Approximately how many people have left M8 since the tNt merger? ║
║ ║
║ DES : About 5 people have left, but these people were like Davan, Igor, ║
║ Caserd, and a couple others. That is ok, I thought it'd be a lot ║
║ more but I've replaced them all besides Igor, cause you can't ║
║ replace him. He basically kept the group alive then. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Could you explain to us why there was a merger between M8 and tNt ║
║ to begin with? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Well tnt noticed M8 offered quite a few FTP sites which tNt was ║
║ losing on through the summer. I wanted a lot more top couriers, ║
║ also we had 2 or 3 GREAT couriers. Now we have a lot of people ║
║ that are capable and I am accepting people who can courier like a ║
║ gig if that much is released each week. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What effect has the merger brought about? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Well, we're twice as powerful with M8 and we are doing better with ║
║ all these FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : No regrets in merging with tNt? ║
║ ║
║ DES : None. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : It's well known of M8's strength in FTP sites. Considering most ║
║ FTP sites are college based, many of them will go down this ║
║ summer. How do you feel this will effect M8? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Actually, I have managed to find us TONS of FTP sites that are up ║
║ in the summer, which most groups can't do. Well that's a strength ║
║ and I blocked the hole that made us lose all these FTP sites. ║
║ Yes, we have lost a few but oh well... ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Aside from the SMALL breakup in M8, what other problems has M8 ║
║ faced in the past? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Well, just these rumors and other couriering groups stealing our ║
║ FTP sites and couriers. I have tried to get them back and that's ║
║ about it. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Since the #Fatefiles days, #M8Leech was not rather successful. ║
║ But in recent days, #M8Leech is now comparable to today's #Exceed ║
║ (#Exceed was previously known as #Fatefiles). How do you account ║
║ for this recent success? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Well basically, I ignore #M8Leech for reasons most people do. FTP ║
║ sites are fine with me. I'll let the IRC division run that which ║
║ I usually don't touch. Another problem is that we have to find ║
║ bots and people to get the channel back which is a big hassle. ║
║ #Exceed is loaded with people you never want to meet, if you catch ║
║ my drift. #M8Leech is turning just as bad. So I tell the IRC ║
║ division to just have fun since I really don't care :) ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Which groups does M8 courier for? ║
║ ║
║ DES : We recently lost SODOM.. BIG DEAL. We gained SiVA and we're still ║
║ couriering for UCF. But all around we'll courier for anyone at a ║
║ moment's notice. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What are M8's current goals and plans for the future? ║
║ ║
║ DES : We're trying to make a strong FTP trading team by getting LOADS of ║
║ FTP sites with our couriers. I also want M8 to be one of top 5 ║
║ courier groups in most people's opinion and to let me senior a ║
║ little less and courier a little more. If I can work on ║
║ organization and get more FTP sites, that'll make it all fun. ║
║ Also, I just want us to HAVE FUN. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : In all honesty, should you have to rank M8 amongst the other ║
║ courier groups, where would you place yourselves? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Well, M8's about fifth or sixth. RiSC is #1, DGT and AMN is #2 ║
║ and #3, RTS is #4, and we're about equal with Empire. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Which do you feel is stronger, your Internet division or BBS ║
║ spreading division? ║
║ ║
║ DES : That's the easy question. INTERNET!!! BBSes are getting too old ║
║ and outdated. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What do you feel are M8's strengths? ║
║ ║
║ DES : M8's best at FTP and IRC couriering. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What do you feel are M8's weaknesses? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Uhhh... we have to get more organized. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you in any way feel M8 hasn't been getting the respect it ║
║ deserves or is underrated? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Yes, I don't think people should get greedy and steal FTP sites ║
║ and couriers, but that's life. These little lamers in some group ║
║ last week said they could beat the whole M8 team with their 2400 ║
║ baud modems which.. NO NAMES... ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What are some prospects you feel about the scene? ║
║ ║
║ DES : Well the scene's summer is gonna be lagged a bit due to FTP sites ║
║ down people, me getting a life, etc. Unless you want kill your ║
║ summer, the scene's summer will be slow. ║

║ Subject : Moon Prism.. Power!!! Affiliation : Sailor Moon ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : What kind of group is Sailor Moon and how did it start up? ║
║ ║
║ SMO : Well, we're five models from Miami, Florida. We all work in the ║
║ same modeling studio and so we decided to rent an apartment ║
║ between the five of us. The studio sent us a computer along with ║
║ some Internet software to work with, I don't know why they sent us ║
║ one, we're models, we don't really have a need for computers. All ║
║ we have to do is look good in front of the camera. Anyways, ║
║ Sailor Venus started messing around on IRC and we stumbled upon ║
║ warez. Sailor Venus' boytoy (men are just toys meant for ║
║ beautiful women to abuse) is a district manager of Egghead. So ║
║ Sailor Venus started teaching him about the Internet, and soon, ║
║ got us all hooked on it. We realized that Sailor Venus' boytoy ║
║ could help us supply with some new warez, we decided to help out ║
║ the scene, and thus, we formed Sailor Moon. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why did you name your group after yourself? ║
║ ║
║ SMO : I didn't. We're all big fans of the Japanese Animation "Sailor ║
║ Moon : Pretty Soldier" (the North American version translated by ║
║ DIC is horrible compared to the original Japanese series). ║
║ Anyways, we realized that we wanted to name our group after ║
║ something we liked, and I came up with the idea to start the ║
║ group, so I named myself Sailor Moon, and gave my 4 roommates ║
║ handles as well. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I've been seeing a lot of warez released lately by your group, ║
║ Sailor Moon, some of them were useless PUD files (aka WarCraft II ║
║ Expansion Set : Beyond the Dark Portal), and the rest were ║
║ basically kids software. ║
║ ║
║ SMO : We really don't care about that quality and quantity bullshit. ║
║ When Sailor Venus' boyfriend gets us a release, we attach the ║
║ diz/nfo and we send it via our T1. We don't have time to worry ║
║ about any other bullshit. If you were living with us, you'd ║
║ understand what being a model is like; we have hectic schedules ║
║ everyday and we can only find time for releasing on weekends. You ║
║ can look at us as a very relaxed group, we don't even have a ║
║ public IRC channel. We all live together, if we want something ║
║ done, I just talk to my friends. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : You only have one supplier I assume? Do you feel that is enough ║
║ to sustain your group? What is the handle of your supplier? ║
║ ║
║ SMO : We haven't given him a handle yet, and we aren't planning to. You ║
║ see, Sailor Moon is a girls group only. We're not looking for any ║
║ more suppliers, and we're not looking for any more members. If we ║
║ like someone and we think they can help the group, I'll just ║
║ approach them face to face. Our modeling studio is my recruiting ║
║ ground. If you're not a model, don't even bother applying. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How old are the members of Sailor Moon? ║
║ ║
║ SMO : I'm 23, Sailor Mercury is 22, Sailor Venus is 21, Sailor Mars is ║
║ 23, and Sailor Jupiter is 22. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Since you didn't mention Sailor Venus' boyfriend as a member, I ║
║ assume he isn't one? ║
║ ║
║ SMO : You're correct, we don't consider him a member, he's just a friend ║
║ of ours. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How have you spread your warez in the past? You have not accepted ║
║ any courier applications I assume, or any applications at all? ║
║ ║
║ SMO : We have covert contacts with couriers from RiSC, Amnesia, and ║
║ fATE. We just dcc it to them and they take care of the spreading ║
║ for us. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Is Sailor Moon planning on having official couriers? ║
║ ║
║ SMO : That bullshit? Yeah.. sure.. we don't even have time to mess with ║
║ an IRC channel and you think we'll want to have official couriers? ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Argh.. sorry for asking. ║
║ ║
║ SMO : It's ok. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ I talked to her on the phone later that day, but could not convince ║
║ her to tell me which magazines she's been in, or to send me one of her ║
║ photo shoots in gif or jpg format. She sounded like a really nice ║
║ person over the phone, but she sounded awfully bitchy over IRC (kind ║
║ of reminds me of Winterhawk, but Winterhawk is not exactly a model). ║
║ She's a model, I guess it's natural for her to act that way. ║

║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Marbz ║
║ Subject : Empire Affiliation : Empire President ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : A few months ago, you were the President of a jumpstart courier ║
║ group called dCS (Designated Courier Specialists). It didnt' ║
║ surprise me much that it died within a week. It lacked ║
║ leadership, talent, and enthusiasm, along with many other things ║
║ found in a good courier group. However, right after dCS died, I ║
║ saw that you immediately became the President of another new ║
║ courier group, Empire. Empire has not only outlived the one week ║
║ group stage, but it's survived for months now and is showing its ║
║ presence in the scene. How'd you do it Marbz? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : dCS was more of a learning experience for me and for most of my ║
║ members, from that experience I met some good traders and got more ║
║ insight on how to run shit. Then I decided to do it right this ║
║ second time with Empire and now here I am. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So one day, you were running dCS, and then you said to yourself, ║
║ "I'm not doing this right", and the very next day, you came up ║
║ with.. Empire? That's how your groups evolved? It must have been ║
║ more than a one day thing. ║
║ ║
║ MAR : Haha.. no it took me a few weeks to realize dCS was going ║
║ downhill. I just thought some things over and tried to work some ║
║ shit out. But when it came down to it, I really didnt have the ║
║ members nor the leadership I needed to keep it together. So I ║
║ talked to some of the guys I thought were doing a good job and who ║
║ knew what they were doing, and we decided to form Empire. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So not everyone from dCS made it to Empire, you had to do some ║
║ "CUTTING" hey? You felt that dCS was going downhill and that you ║
║ didn't have the leadership? So you LACKED leadership qualities ║
║ while you were the President of dCS, how then, did you suddenly ║
║ develop your skills, or did you start Empire with a friend, and he ║
║ provided the needed leadership, and thus, deserves the real credit ║
║ for making Empire what it is today, a very strong upcoming courier ║
║ group. ║
║ ║
║ MAR : Not everyone from dCS made it to Empire. In fact only a few did. ║
║ The mistake I made with dCS was that I was too easy in letting ║
║ members in. I didn't check up on them. I didn't even put them on ║
║ trial. The other major thing that didn't happen was my seniors. ║
║ They were just plain lazy and never helped out. So I just started ║
║ talking to some other leaders and shit and picked up pointers here ║
║ and there. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Yes, I can tell you've improved a lot just by looking at your ║
║ Empire NFO, I can see some very big names. Our readers, some of ║
║ who will some day run their own groups, would like to know, how ║
║ you recruited such big names. For example, how'd you recruit ║
║ "Arch Magi", who runs a 13 node ISDN board (ex-Razor 1911 Courier ║
║ HQ, ex-Legacy World HQ). Also, how'd you recruit "Mike and Dave" ║
║ one of the BEST long distance bluebox couriers from Holland? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : Well, mainly just by being in the scene and meeting new people. ║
║ That's all you can really do in order to start getting familiar ║
║ with the scene and how it works. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How would you rate Empire compared to the big groups such as RiSC, ║
║ Amnesia, Digital, and fATE? A lot of people are starting to ║
║ consider Empire one of the top courier groups? How has Empire ║
║ been successful in the scene compared to the other groups? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : I don't feel that Empire is ready to compete to its full ║
║ potential. RiSC has been in the scene for some time and their ║
║ leaders know what they are doing and have the experience. Empire ║
║ isn't mature enought YET. They've been around the block and they ║
║ know what they are doing. I don't really know a lot about Amnesia ║
║ but they look to me like they know what the fuck they are doing. ║
║ In this point in time I don't feel that Empire has the experience ║
║ to compete against them but in the long run, we'll make it up to ║
║ their status. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Well, at least you're being honest, but you forgot to mention ║
║ about fATE and Digital? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : I'd rather not please. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How many private FTP sites do Empire members have access to? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : We currently have 4 private FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Many courier groups have sites which are run through connections ║
║ through their college. And thus, many courier groups take a big ║
║ hit when summer time rolls along and all the college linked sites ║
║ go down, will summer time have a big effect for Empire? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : Yes, Empire will be losing 2 sites because of it and those 2 sites ║
║ are run by some of our best members. Yes, it will definitely ║
║ effect us. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Is Empire official couriers for any release groups? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : We have had oppurtunites to become official for some very large ║
║ groups but have not taken up on the offer. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Which groups? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : I cannot say. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why did you not take up their offers? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : Well, for one thing they weren't very organised. They could ║
║ release, but I could tell that they were not as active as they ║
║ were a few years back. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Since Empire is not officials for anyone, do you find it hard to ║
║ find stuff to tag? Do you guys tag at all, double tag, or strip ║
║ tag? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : We will NEVER double or strip tag because theres no point in doing ║
║ that. But yes, we do tag if we find a new warez that's not been ║
║ tagged. Since most of our traders are in other release groups we ║
║ can get a release the minute it's released. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you courier warez that's been tagged by Empire? or do you guys ║
║ still courier anything and everything regardless of who tagged it? ║
║ ║
║ MAR : Yes, we trade all warez. If they are tagged we don't tag them. ║
║ We just kindly pass the warez along. ║

║ Subject : MindCrash??? Uh... Affiliation : DMT President ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : A few months ago, you were once the president of top-notch courier ║
║ group known as MC (MindCrash). However, it died mysteriously and ║
║ many are not aware of your new ventures. But before we get to ║
║ your new group, let's go through how MC died? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : MC got to be so big and out of hand that trouble was erupting ║
║ everywhere. I had to leave the scene for a period due to having ║
║ to get other things straightened out. When I left, I put Avoozl ║
║ in charge (Avoozl had left the group before due to outside ║
║ problems). Many people thought my vice-president, Blitzkrieg ║
║ should have been put in charge, and the only reason I did not ║
║ leave him in charge was that I could talk to Avoozl voice every ║
║ day and in that way, still semi-run the group. People started ║
║ saying that maybe Blitzkrieg should start his own group, which he ║
║ did, called IMP (Impulse). ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Did you know beforehand that Blitzkrieg was planning to start his ║
║ own courier group? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : Yes. Knowing beforehand what was going to happen, Avoozl and I ║
║ decided to just abandon the MC name altogether and start fresh ║
║ with something new. Blitzkrieg's group quickly merged into DGT ║
║ (Digital). We took the main ideal of quality and offered MC's ║
║ best couriers a spot in the new group. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What is the name of your new group? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : We call ourselves DMT (DarkMoon Traders). ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How many members are there in DMT? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : DMT is currently consisted of about 20 members. Of the 20 ║
║ members, 7 are site operators. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : When your new group started up, did you invite all your old MC ║
║ members, or only some? If you invited only some, did you invite ║
║ Blitzkrieg and Devast into DMT? Blitzkrieg and Devast are ║
║ currently DGT leaders, who were both ex-MC. ║
║ ║
║ TWO : I only invited the top members of MC. Only 3 of the people who ║
║ were invited did not come with me. I did not invite Blitzkrieg ║
║ because he was heavy into making his new group. Devast was kicked ║
║ out of MC a long time ago and he has never forgotten it, so I did ║
║ not think it would be a good idea to make him a part of DMT. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Who were the 3 people who rejected your proposal? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : The 3 people who rejected my proposal were, Swamper who is now in ║
║ Digital, Tutt who is now in.. I have no clue, and Chrome who is ║
║ now in Motiv8. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : You mentioned to me earlier that your group works underground, why ║
║ have you kept DMT's presence underground? Will it not make it ║
║ harder for good couriers and site operators to apply for the ║
║ group? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : Yes, it is very hard to get in touch with DMT. If they're good ║
║ enough, they'll find us. The reason we decided to keep it ║
║ underground is that it keeps our members hidden from federal ║
║ agents. It gives an added element of security. Besides, we ║
║ aren't into egos and we're all past that bullshit. We don't need ║
║ people to TELL us we're good, we KNOW we're good. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So you guys don't even have an NFO? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : Our NFO file only has an email address where you can reach us, and ║
║ a little information about the group at the bottom. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Since DMT is so underground, how would someone apply? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : To get in touch with DMT, just email [email protected]. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : If you look at DMT in it's current status, do you think it's ║
║ reached the level MC reached during its peak a few months back? ║
║ Do you believe you'll be able to repeat the magic twice? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : DMT lacks the numbers of MC, but the quality of the couriers is ║
║ much better overall. There is no question as to what everyone's ║
║ purpose is in the group, and with time DMT will easily become ║
║ better than MC ever was. I don't know if I can repeat magic, but ║
║ I'm still the same person, I just work a little more efficiently, ║
║ and have more top-notch couriers to work with. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Even though DMT is underground, have you guys attempted to recruit ║
║ official release groups to courier for? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : We attempted to recruit Fierce at one time, but Fierce chose DGT. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Have you encountered any problems with old MC members while ║
║ starting DMT? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : There have hardly been any problems at all. It's been an easy ║
║ transition, our members are so dedicated I must give all credit to ║
║ them. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : There are groups such as Everlast that have gone underground and ║
║ many consider that they're at least as good as RiSC if not better, ║
║ which only goes to show that an underground group is by far NOT ║
║ handicapped because it is underground. Do you feel that DMT will ║
║ be considered in competition in the same manner as Everlast is to ║
║ the rest of the scene? ║
║ ║
║ TWO : Everlast is made up of guys who stick together and are a team much ║
║ like DMT. They let the work they do speak for themselves, as do ║
║ we. ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : PTA (Power Trading Arsenal) Couriers have been around for a few ║
║ weeks now, and has started to show its presence in the couriering ║
║ scene, where did it spawn from? Why did you decide to create PTA? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : I started by joining DiC (Domination In Couriering). I became a ║
║ small BBS Courier for them. Then Blackened (President of DiC) ║
║ killed DiC and joined fATE, I was left with no group to courier ║
║ for. I then heard that one of the vice-presidents of DiC was in ║
║ the process of creating a new courier group called FCC (First ║
║ Class Couriering). I became the art coordinator for FCC and soon ║
║ became FCC's general coordinator. FCC then changed its name to ║
║ SMC (Smooth Moving Couriers). One day, the President of FCC told ║
║ me that he no longer had the time to run the group, so I took over ║
║ the group, and within a week, I changed its name to PTA since SMC ║
║ was already in use. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : There are already tons of couriering groups out there, what makes ║
║ PTA different? How wil it stand out from the rest? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : We will stand out from the rest because all our couriers are ║
║ dedicated. We have worked EXTREMELY hard to get to where we are ║
║ at. We don't double or strip tag, and our group is made up of a ║
║ circle of friends. We have come to trust one another. We are all ║
║ dedicated to our job immensely. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Through that trust, have you encountred any problems running the ║
║ group or in getting people to improve in their couriering ║
║ abilities? What happens when someone slacks off and gets lazy? ║
║ Will you kick a FRIEND out of your group, or is he allowed to take ║
║ leave when needed? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : Well, if a member gets lazy, which a few have, we will give them ║
║ time to make a comeback. If they don't put in any effort, I will ║
║ personally talk with the member, find out the problems and we will ║
║ make an agreement. Either they agree to go down a position or ║
║ work harder. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : That is a very good method. How many members are there in PTA? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : We have approximately 35 members. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How many Private FTP sites are run by PTA? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : We currently have access to 2 private FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Many courier groups enter a slump during the summer because ║
║ they're site operators who have to leave their college during the ║
║ summer break, will that have an effect on any of PTA's sites? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : It may have an effect on 1 site, but we will most likely have a ║
║ new one soon so we will always have the same ammount of stable ║
║ sites until school is back, then we will have all 3 together once ║
║ more. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : You are a very new leader since you have not had anyone to learn ║
║ leadership skills from. You were in a group called DiC which died ║
║ in a matter of weeks, do you feel that PTA might turn out to be a ║
║ group with no potential as the weeks roll by? What are your ║
║ future plans for PTA? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : I've always been a good leader. I run a really successfull art ║
║ group that does work for 613/819 area. We are the dominating ║
║ artists of that area. I feel that we have a lot of potential. I ║
║ try not to make any bad mistakes, and I haven't made any bad ║
║ mistakes so far. I think before I act, and I'm a nice guy. I ║
║ don't get pissed off at people for nothing. I am friends with a ║
║ lot of presidents around the scene. My plans for PTA is to become ║
║ feared by other courier groups. I want PTA to become widely ║
║ known. I want newbies to look up to PTA like how many look up to ║
║ RiSC and fATE. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Great, so your main goal in the scene is to become well known, do ║
║ you feel that as your group does gain it's deserved respect, that ║
║ your group trust might fall apart since members might be striving ║
║ toward selfishness and ego trips? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : I don't think many other courier groups respect us yet. The trust ║
║ won't fall apart because were all friends. Anyone that's gets off ║
║ on an ego trip will be approached, and given a little reality ║
║ check (no pun intended). If they don't realize what they're ║
║ doing, then the other seniors and I talk it over with them. I ║
║ work with each and every member personally, some presidents I know ║
║ don't even know half his members. I want total control over my ║
║ group. I want to keep it on track. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Is there a central message that you'd like to inform the scene ║
║ concerning PTA? ║
║ ║
║ IMP : I'd like to say that PTA is not a group of '3L1T3 Pricks'. I'd ║
║ also like to thank Locutous. He's been one of the best members ║
║ I've ever worked with. He's helped the group a lot and is greatly ║
║ appreciated. ║

║ RCN : What is your opinion of RCN as an E-Zine group? ║
║ ║
║ INC : Well, I think it has done well in the past. But, it's reputation ║
║ was basically ruined because of the incident. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : "The Incident"? Can you explain what you mean by the incident? ║
║ ║
║ INC : To make a long story short. Wave Rider had a disagreement with ║
║ Road Rebel over the supply of a certain program to Legacy ║
║ Entertainment, and RoadRebel called up a beta tester for that ║
║ company and "Narqed" on WaveRider, and well, The rest is history. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you feel RCN has potential as an E-Zine group? ║
║ ║
║ INC : Not now, RCN will only have potential if it drops Road Rebel ║
║ immediately and in turn recruits someone more productive such as ║
║ Entropy. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you have anything personal against Road Rebel? ║
║ ║
║ INC : Yes, I do. Wave Rider is a friend of mine and he suffered just ║
║ because Road Rebel wanted to be an ASSHOLE, he took it WAY TOO ║
║ FAR. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What trouble did Wave Rider get into? ║
║ ║
║ INC : No comment. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Would you read RCN magazine even though Road Rebel is still in the ║
║ group? ║
║ ║
║ INC : No, I would not. And I'm going to spread the word as far as ║
║ possible to tell people not to spread it on any boards or on any ║
║ FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : If Road Rebel wasn't a part of RCN, would you be a regular reader ║
║ of RCN? ║
║ ║
║ INC : Probably. People such as Road Rebel should be dragged out into ║
║ the street and shot. This damn box in front of me is supposed to ║
║ used for FUN. It wasn't made so some asshole could get you in ║
║ deep trouble. ║

║ Dear Incarnate, ║
║ ║
║ Not only are you not aware of the whole story of which you so ║
║ self-righteously call "The Incident", you also take it upon yourself to ║
║ rack on a very special friend of mine, ROAD REBEL. Neither I nor Hitex ║
║ would give a care in the world whether or not Road Rebel's membership ║
║ does effect RCN's reputation. Road Rebel is a part of RCN, and he's ║
║ staying a part of RCN, whether you like it or not... ║
║ ║
║ - Rebel Chicken [RCN Editor] ║
║ ║
║ *PS* The whole story behind "The Incident" will be carefully reviewed ║

║ ║
║ RCN : Who are you and how long have you being in the scene? ║
║ ║
║ UNI : I was the President of AOF (Arsenists on Fire). I was also a ║
║ member of DMN (Demolition), ROR (Release on Rampage), and MTY ║
║ (Mortality). I've been in the scene for about 2 years now but I ║
║ was kicked in November of 1995. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I see you were the President of a group that actually lasted ║
║ longer than 2 months, a group that actually released a few worth ║
║ while games and utils. Why did you leave AOF? ║
║ ║
║ UNI : I didn't actually want to leave AOF, I was "forced" to resign. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why were you forced to resign and by whom? ║
║ ║
║ UNI : Well, I was forced to leave because Tha Stuff, Demon, and ║
║ Skyscraper said that I was an immature President and that I can't ║
║ run a group. AOF was a releasing group, we released a few ║
║ releases and a release that DOD duped. We had a lot of really ║
║ talented suppliers, a few from Borland and Microsoft. Skyscraper ║
║ said that I could stay and supply for them, but I thought about ║
║ it, from being a President to being a supplier, it was not a good ║
║ deal. A month after my forced resignation, I saw that it had ║
║ merged into COPS, BLAH! ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What is your current opinion on COPS? There are serveral members ║
║ stating that "COPS is lame and they have to get their shit ║
║ together." ║
║ ║
║ UNI : I think that COPS can be "okay" if they put their shit together, ║
║ like you said, and I don't think that they are very organized, ║
║ especially not if they release shit like BLAKE STONE, a program ║
║ from 1993 with an engine similar to Wolfenstine 3D. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : When you were forced to resign as President of AOF, did you just ║
║ leave? After all, you were the President, you should have at ║
║ least had some power in the way things got done. Was there a lack ║
║ of leadership from your part, or were there power struggles ║
║ between seniors and members, or was there just a lot of the same ║
║ old ego bullshit? ║
║ ║
║ UNI : Well, I didn't feel like having a fight with Tha Stuff, I thought ║
║ he deserved a little bit more power, so I made him vice-president, ║
║ I think he got a little carried away with "power". ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you regret leaving AOF? ║
║ ║
║ UNI : I don't regret leaving AOF, I think that I learned a lot from ║
║ leaving. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What groups are you currently affiliated with? ║
║ ║
║ UNI : I am not affiliated as of yet. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : "As of yet"? I see that you are getting back into the scene soon ║
║ then? What are your future plans? ║
║ ║
║ UNI : I think I might try to join a highly respected releasing group, or ║
║ maybe getting a FTP site and then joining PWA or DOD. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Are you comfortable coming back into the scene? Do you feel that ║
║ Tha Stuff, Demon, or Skyscraper might bug you or harass you in any ║
║ way? ║
║ ║
║ UNI : Hehehe, I ain't scared SHIT of Tha Stuff, Demon, Skyscraper, or ║
║ anyone else. Just one little extra comment, Revolution-X should ║
║ merge into COPS, that way, both groups can be lame together. ║

║ ║
║ <Trite> Why did Winterhawk kick me??? ║
║ ║
║ <doodoo2> Winterhawk, LeoDLion, High Lander, and Cyberian Tiger quit ║
║ MAliCE. ║
║ ║
║ <Trite> What??? ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> I guess its a plus they left the group, now I am getting ║
║ credits on on LA and BBX. ║
║ ║
║ <Trite> You lamers... ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> I am dissing Bluewater on this upload! Woohoo!!! ║
║ ║
║ <doodoo2> Digital Vampire, send it to me so I can upload too. ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> Wait, I am not on IRC with my shell account, I'm on BBX with ║
║ my shell account. I *WOULD* be couriering to MALiCE FTP ║
║ sites, but I'm not on ANY :) ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> Can someone send me the IPs LA, CRC, and Enigma so I can check ║
║ if Winterhawk put me on those FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> Haha Frost!!! Yeah right, if anyone gives out the IPs to ║
║ those sites without permission gets deleted and nuked. I ║
║ will not give out the IPs to my mother. ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> Who the hell should I ask now that Winterhawk is gone? ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> Pray to God and cross your fingers... ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> Tell me Digital Vampire, who the hell would want to join a group ║
║ that only has one FTP site? ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> It's not about FTP sites. It's about trading. ║
║ ║
║ <Ranik> Welcome to independence boys and girls. We just lost half our ║
║ council. ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> Only half? ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> Ranik shut up!!! ║
║ ║
║ <Ranik> Digital Vampire, NO. ║
║ ║
║ <Tough_Guy> Things ain't looking good... ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> If all of you gave one fucking shit about the group, give me ║
║ a week to fix things. ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> Where the hell is everyone? ║
║ ║
║ <Ranik> Deathwind, the group is split and fucked up. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> They all quit. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Now I see Digital Vampire trying to take over and run ║
║ MALiCE. ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> Ranik, I kindly asked that you give me a week. ║
║ ║
║ <Ranik> Head Hunter, that's correct. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Haaaaa!!! ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> Head Hunter just wants the group to die! What a fucking ║
║ asshole!!! I try to do something and the punk ass bitches ║
║ kick me. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> I don't want the group to die. I want Dorian Hawkmoon and ║
║ Jake the Snake to fix things. ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> I fucking GIVE UP. ║
║ ║
║ *** DigiVamp ([email protected]) has left channel #Malice ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Good, he should have left the group sooner, then this ║
║ wouldn't have happened. ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> Anything good happen today? ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Digital Vampire quit, that's the only good I saw. ║
║ ║
║ *** DigiVamp ([email protected]) has joined channel #Malice ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Mr. "Give me a week to fix things" is back. ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> Fuck you Head Hunter!!! You're a fucking asshole!!! ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> What the fuck happend to this group! ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> Nothing has happend to the group. Some decided it best to ║
║ move on. ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> Iron Steel, wake up! With out Winterhawk, LeoDLion, High ║
║ Lander, and Cyberian Tiger, this group is shit! ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> I've given up trying to help MALiCE. I can't do anything ║
║ with pessimists like Head Hunter. ║
║ ║
║ *** Wintrhwk ([email protected]) has joined channel #Malice ║
║ ║
║ <Wintrhwk> Look, no particular person has made me quit. Look, you can ║
║ all move forward. ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> It would be a shame to loose a group over FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ <Ranik> Digital Vampire, it's attitude. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Digital Vampire, no one gives a shit about you and your ║
║ raggy ass. You piece of shit, go find a different group to ║
║ try and take over. ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> Another group, as in Pirates with Attitudes? ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> Head Hunter, you are just mad because I want to make ║
║ something of MALiCE and you want to see it die. I dont want ║
║ to take over the group, I NEVER said that nor would I ever do ║
║ that. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> I'm mad because I know what kind of shit you really are. ║
║ ║
║ <DigiVamp> I am willing to do my part to HELP. ║
║ ║
║ <Wintrhwk> I have wanted to leave for quite a bit, I have been unhappy ║
║ in general. LeoDLion and I are constantly fighting for an ║
║ entire group and the strain has become unbearable. ║
║ ║
║ <Wintrhwk> Dorian, Jake the Snake and Master Hacker are still running ║
║ this group. LeoDLion and I are independent right now, but ║
║ that does not mean we will stay independent. I am not ║
║ againint MALiCE nor anyone here. I would help any of you in ║
║ the future however I can, but LeoDLion and I deserved a lot ║
║ more respect than what we were getting. ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> Agreed. ║
║ ║
║ <Wintrhwk> People leave groups. MALiCE survived a big break up in ║
║ February. It will survive once more. Good luck to you all. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> You guys just LOST 4 of the hardest working people and most ║
║ loyal people and it doesn't seem like anyone of you realize ║
║ that yet. ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> We lost them because they left. I'm not in here to suck dick ║
║ so people decide to stay. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Iron Steel, you lost them cause they were the only ones ║
║ doing shit for the group. ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> I love Maggie, Winterhawk, like a sister. I don't know the ║
║ rest of the people who left very well. Neither you nor I ║
║ could have kept them from leaving... ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> Head Hunter has a point Iron Steel. ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> Hey I run a BBS and do my part moving files in the 407 area ║
║ code. Don't give me that shit. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> They put in 16 hours a day for MALiCE. ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> Face it MALiCE fucked up. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Anyways, like I give a shit. I just wanted to voice my ║
║ opinions, something I'm great at doing. They didn't leave ║
║ just because of today. ║
║ ║
║ <MastrHack> They left because they were tired of busting their asses for ║
║ MALiCE and people where just bitching at them all the time. ║
║ ║
║ <IrnSteel> Well some can be leaders, and some can't. What can I say ║
║ Master Hacker? This is all supposed to be fun. ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> BULLSHIT Iron Steel, they worked their asses off and got no ║
║ credit for it. ║
║ ║
║ <HeadHunter> Master Hacker, I hope you saw Digital Vampire's attempt to ║
║ take over the group. ║
║ ║
║ <Deathwind> Iron Steel get this straight, they were MALiCE, and without ║
║ them, the group is now nothing. ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> This shit is really starting to suck. I don't know shit about ║
║ running a group, and I don't really give a fuck, but I sure know ║
║ that there's been enough fighting in this fucking channel today, ║
║ so why can't you guys just shut up for a while? ║
║ ║
║ <MastrHack> I wish we could just somehow fix things. I don't like this ║
║ at all. ║

║ he group has gone through a lot of troubles in the past, but by far, ║
║ this is the biggest hurdle it has yet faced. As mentioned in the log ║
║ by Winterhawk, Dorian Hawkmoon and Jake the Snake, the leaders of MALiCE ║
║ are still with the group, and still in charge. However, the majority of ║

║ ║
║ On Sunday, May 19th, RCN issue #14 was released on channel #RCN at ║
║ approximately 9 pm Eastern Standard Time. Included in every issue of ║
║ RCN is a Warez-IQ test, and on this particular test, there included a ║
║ question as follows : ║
║ ║
║ ≡5≡ Drapper runs a FTP site from this well known college/university : ║
║ ║
║ [ ] A. University of California Berkeley ║
║ [ ] B. Diablo Valley College ║
║ [ ] C. Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges ║
║ [√] D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology ║
║ ║
║ The correct answer to the above question is "D". Drapper informed ║
║ RCN at 1:30 am of the next day that his FTP site called "The Temple" ║
║ was *BUSTED* by MIT personnel as a result of RCN's quiz question. In ║
║ theory, if what Drapper said was true, then it is safe to say that ║
║ within a timespan of 4 hours, the MIT personnel downloaded RCN issue ║
║ #14, read the Warez-IQ Questions, and in shock, got a warrant to *BUST* ║
║ Drapper's FTP site. It is also safe to assume that if Drapper's story ║
║ was true, then the MIT personnel considers the information found in RCN ║
║ to be quite accurate, and accurate enough that they would bust someone ║
║ without consulting other possible references. Not only that, the MIT ║
║ personnel would have to had bust Drapper sometime between 9pm and 1:30am ║
║ on a Sunday night. ║
║ ║
║ In reality, none of what Drapper said occurred. He was not busted, ║
║ and if his FTP site, "The Temple", was not operative during the week, ║
║ it's only because he took it down of his onw accord in a pathetic ║
║ attempt of winning people's sympathy. Fortunately, people are smart ║
║ enough not to believe in his recently concocted story. ║
║ ║
║ The following is a log file where Drapper is seen in channel #RCN ║
║ threatening to libel against RCN's reputation : ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Session Start : Mon May 20 01:30:55 1996 ║
║ ║
║ <Drapper> I am going to post everywhere that the RCN editors, Hitex and ║
║ Rebel Chicken, are narcs. And I am sure that people are more ║
║ inclined to trust a FTP site operator that has just been ║
║ busted rather than two lame RCN editors. ║
║ ║
║ <Chrome> Drapper, from what I've heard, you had other FTP site bust ║
║ problems even before RCN released issue #14. ║
║ ║
║ <Drapper> The fact that I had deleted both Hitex and Rebel Chicken from ║
║ my FTP site must have pissed them off and driven them to narc ║
║ on me. ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> Drapper, let's just say this much, if you do start posting those ║
║ messages, then you're just going to end up looking stupid. Some ║
║ people are gullible, but most are not insane enough to believe ║
║ your story. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Drapper, so MIT went over to your dorm at 12am in the ║
║ morning because they read RCN? If you just got busted, what ║
║ are you doing here chatting with me? Wouldn't they arrest ║
║ you or something? ║
║ ║
║ <Drapper> Road Rebel, everyone will learn that the RCN editors are ║
║ narcs. ║
║ ║
║ <RoadRebel> Hahhaha.. ║
║ ║
║ <Drapper> That's all I have to say. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Coolness! I guess MIT respects the Warez-IQ section of RCN ║
║ so much that they consider it evidence to bust their ║
║ students who run pirate FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> Drapper, I don't even care about getting on FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> I'm glad MIT security is so fast at getting RCN, it must ║
║ have spread really fast then, hey? ║
║ ║
║ <RoadRebel> I wonder how the MIT guys did at the quiz? ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Yes, there must be a MIT "read warez magazine to get ║
║ information" security officer awake 24 hours a day on alert ║
║ for information they could use to bust their students. Wow, ║
║ an RCN quiz is as good as evidence or a warrant. Maybe I ║
║ should write an article saying OJ Simpson is guilty. You ║
║ think they'll put him on trial again? ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> They can't, double jeopardy prevents being tried for the crime ║
║ twice. ║
║ ║
║ <RoadRebel> Hahaha... ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> Not only that, there are 3 other sites on MIT, why would they ║
║ look after you first? They would have to be quite witty at ║
║ that. ║
║ ║
║ *** Drapper ([email protected]) has left #RCN ║
║ ║
║ <Chrome> Drapper, if your FTP site went down, it's because you were a ║
║ sloppy FTP site operator, not because of the Warez-IQ question ║
║ found in RCN issue #14. ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> Drapper, you also told me once a few months back that you got ║
║ busted when you just didn't want me on your FTP site. Your FTP ║
║ site was quite up, but let's assume that you were telling the ║
║ truth, and that it WAS busted a few months prior, you've ║
║ obviously fucked up before. ║
║ ║
║ <RATM> Guys, Drapper left. ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> Drapper, not to mention that if they did catch you again today, ║
║ that it would be a second offense, which means that you'll most ║
║ likely be expelled from MIT. ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> Oh :-) ║
║ ║
║ Session Close : Mon May 20 01:40:47 1996 ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Let's assume for a minute that Drapper did get busted in such a ║
║ short period of time. According to Hitex, this would have been his ║
║ SECOND offence, and as a result, he would unequivocably be expelled ║
║ from MIT. Since Drapper is not a U.S. citizen and is only living in ║
║ the U.S. through a student visa, it would not be far fetched to assume ║
║ that he has most likely also been deported out of the U.S. and back to ║
║ Greece, where he went to high school before attending MIT as a freshman. ║
║ ║
║ Since he won't be living in the U.S. anymore, if you do happen to ║
║ bump into him on IRC, he will no longer be running a FTP site, and ║
║ his email address would no longer look anything like this : ║
║ ║
║ *** Drapper ([email protected]) has left #USA ║
║ ║
║ bust instead, it should read something like this : ║
║ ║
║ *** Drapper ([email protected]) has joined #Greece ║
║ ║
║ Let's all take a minute to give Drapper a farewell goodbye. RCN ║
║ apologizes for causing the bust of his FTP site "The Temple". Hope you ║
║ like it in Greece buddy!!! See ya!!! ║

║ This article is for all the newbie traders out there who would like ║
║ to jump to the next level in the scene but don't know what to do once ║
║ they get into a group. Thise article was written to help beginners ║
║ learn some of the tricks that more experienced couriers know. Most ║
║ traders learn this stuff from trial and error <mostly error> or with the ║
║ help of an older trader who acts as a tutor. I have to take the time ║
║ now to thank Ratz Blood and Ratphour for teaching me the ins and outs of ║
║ the scene. I would still be a #Fatefiles whore if it were not for them. ║
║ Let's begin :) ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ BBS (Bulletin Board Service) ║
║ ║
║ Way back when the scene was not on the Internet, couriers were the ║
║ people who couriered warez from a HQ BBS to the distro sites. Some ║
║ phreaked the long distance, others carded the long distance. I don't ║
║ encourage carding since it is not only dangerous, but it could easily ║
║ get a newbie busted. Phreaking is no longer used. The best strategy ║
║ for a courier who wishes to mark his or her place in the scene would be ║
║ to get a local distro site for some courier group to sponsor you into ║
║ the group. Have the system operator bitch out a senior until he gives ║
║ you a chance. Get access to the leech sites and start and downloading ║
║ and and uploading. It's pretty simple. ║
║ ║
║ BBS couriers on big BBSes where the competition is stiff usually get ║
║ a big hard drive quota on their shell account. Don't PPP download, FTP ║
║ site operators hate it, plus there's always the problem of having the ║
║ FTP site going down for a few minutes right before your transfer is ║
║ finished. A quota of about 80 - 130 megs will do you fine if you're ║
║ expecting some competition on the BBS. When you download from your ║
║ shell (using the 'sz' command at your prompt... 'sz *.zip') go and have ║
║ a life. Keep keep track of when the download should be done. When you ║
║ upload to a popular BBS you can expect that some of the files you ║
║ leeched will already be on the BBS. The key to getting on the top ten ║
║ is for you to upload a lot of crap. Upload anything any everything you ║
║ can get your hands on. Most system operators don't even bother to look ║
║ at whats being uploaded (I've uploaded a Crayola Coloring Book once, ║
║ blah, nuff said). If your Internet provider is a bit expensive there is ║
║ a second trick to getting files. Just get a plain account at your ISP ║
║ and PPP telnet to another server using a hacked account with a huge ║
║ quota (Netcom seems to be the most popular) and fill up that shell. ║
║ Then PPP leech it at your convience. The transfer rates are a bit ║
║ slower, but it's a lot cheaper. I don't encourage this, but it works. ║
║ ║
║ BBS couriers usually have one advantage that FTP couriers don't ║
║ have. They get a ratio. After about 6 months of uploading, you should ║
║ have about 5 gigs of credit. With that, you can just sit back and leech ║
║ for eternity. BBS couriering is a low stress and high profile job ║
║ (depending on the BBS) that allows you to leech some fast stuff. This ║
║ is a good place for many couriers with a fast 33.6 modem and 200+ megs ║
║ free on their HD to start at. If you can't figure out how to find a ║
║ person to apply for a group, your best bet would be to talk to the ║
║ system operator of the BBS you're planning to courier for, or you could ║
║ sit on IRC and beg for invites into a channel. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ IRC (Internet Relay Chat) ║
║ ║
║ Go into #Exceed, #M8leech, #THCfiles, or any of a zillion offer ║
║ channel where you see those Lame-DCC and 31337-DCC guys. Offering on ║
║ IRC takes no talent and I do not even consider it real couriering. ║
║ However, as IRC becomes more important to the scene and people flood ║
║ onto IRC. It might well become the new battle ground for groups when t3 ║
║ PPP connects become available in your own home 20 years from now. A lot ║
║ of groups have their IRC couriers spreading the group name and their ║
║ presence among other lesser groups. The better groups don't usually ║
║ bother with offering since they focus on boards and sites. DCC offering ║
║ is a snap. At your IRC prompt type '/xdcc offer' and hit enter. Then ║
║ give the file names you wanna offer and then put in a description. When ║
║ you want the channel to see your harvest of goodies type '/plist'. I ║
║ recommend the Venom.IRC and Phoenix.IRC scripts for offering. Some ║
║ people have been using the aDCC commands of LiCE script lately. Use ║
║ whatever script looks nice to you. Set your minimum speed that you want ║
║ to transfer at with '/xdcc minspeed'. This way you can avoid some PPP ║
║ whore leeching from you for hours at slow rates. A minimum speed of 2 ║
║ to 3 kbs should be enough to keep the PPP and slow shell people out. ║
║ ║
║ The only danger to IRC couriering is Chris Carter. He is Narq ║
║ extraordinaire. He likes to hang out in #Exceed and the #WarezX ║
║ channels. Don't be surprised if you ISP admin tells you that the FBI is ║
║ after you or something. Chris Carter makes himself out to be a agent of ║
║ some law organization, but in reality he is only a lamer who sits down ║
║ at his computer and masturbates off of shareware. Tell your IRC ║
║ administrator that the man who mailed them is not an agent, he has no ║
║ jurisdiction, and that as a paying customer you would appreciate some ║
║ privacy. Most administrators give you a slap on the wrist and don't ║
║ care. One of my former administrators actually gave me a higher quota ║
║ cause he knew I was a trader (you'd be suprised how many ISPs have a ║
║ secret warez drive). Chris Carter has no power and he cannot do ║
║ anything to you. To avoid him you can use cracked shell accounts and ║
║ offer from those. I've been Chris Cartered about 7 times in my career ║
║ and only one administrator freaked out. If your administrator is ║
║ actually suprised that pirates are the ones with the big HD quota, it's ║
║ probabally time to find a new ISP. IRC offering is an easy and simple ║
║ way for small groups without FTP sites to move tagged files to the ║
║ public. It's not hard, and thus, has little glory in it. ║
║ ║
║ I would like to thank Method Man who taught me everything about ║
║ scripts I know. He's such a freak that he even runs his own client. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ FTP (File Transfer Protocol) ║
║ ║
║ If you enjoy instant satisfaction and like having something about 5 ║
║ minutes before the rest of the scene, then FTP couriering is for you. ║
║ FTP couriering is either easy or hard depending on the sites you have ║
║ access to. If you put RiSC against fATE it would be a slaughter because ║
║ RiSC has a better FTP team and has some of the best sites on the planet. ║
║ I would suggest that a FTP courier gain access to at least 2 to 3 super ║
║ fast FTP sites and maybe 2 to 4 slower FTP sites where you can dominate. ║
║ The trick is to get on as many FTP sites as you can at first and then ║
║ work on getting onto the quality FTP sites. For maximum output, you ║
║ should have about 6 screens going at once and idling on the better ║
║ sites. Type 'ls' every minute so you don't time out. Some FTP Couriers ║
║ have scripts that do it automatically. FTP couriering on fast sites can ║
║ be stressful after sitting at your terminal for about 5 hours and ║
║ looking at FTP sites to see if anything has come in the last few ║
║ minutes. A FTP courier must be on IRC and aware of group releases by ║
║ paying attention to the sites all the time. You have a window of about ║
║ 5 minutes or less before it hits the super fast FTP sites. It takes ║
║ about 20 minutes for it hits the slower sites. After about 2 to 3 hours ║
║ it's releasedd all over IRC and is offered in #exceed. Software pirates ║
║ have one of the greatist non-profit orginizations on the planet. We can ║
║ release something and it hits the whole world within 3 hours. ║
║ ║
║ FTP couriers usually use ncftp. Type 'ncftp' at your unix prompt. ║
║ Type 'open -u -p xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxxx' the -u means that it is not an ║
║ anonymous login and the -p means that there is a port (if there isn't ║
║ one, don't type -p). ║
║ ║
║ Once you get onto a FTP site, you will see that the directories are ║
║ listed according to date. If today was 11/06/95, I'd go to the 1106 ║
║ dir. Inside that directory I would see a ton of warez. Each release is ║
║ in its own directory that either looks like 'lotus.notes.for.crap.blah'. ║
║ You will usually see the full title or at least enough so you could ║
║ figgure out what it is. Some groups like fATE do lame junk like adding ║
║ their groups name to the dir name 'fate-lamers.on.parade.full.cd.rip'. ║
║ I don't encourage this since better FTP couriers frown on it as a form ║
║ of lame bragging. Most don't care what groups you are in. They are ║
║ only interested in the files. To get the files onto your shell you type ║
║ 'mget *.zip'. To upload your new goodies type 'mput filename*' to put ║
║ multiple files from your shell to the FTP site. ║
║ ║
║ Remeber to use ncftp, the mput and mget commands will not work if ║
║ you type 'ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' in your shell. When lamers type 'what' ║
║ in the shell they can see the site numbers when you 'ftp ║
║ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' and they might try to hack you. When running ncftp, ║
║ all they will see is that little 'ncftp' flag. FTP couriering is a ║
║ quick way to get some warez and glory for your group. Board couriers ║
║ are a dime a dozen, a few good FTP couriers can make or break a group. ║
║ ║
║ I would like to thank Ratz Blood and Weed who helped me when I was a ║
║ little baby FTP courier. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Telnet ║
║ ║
║ There are a few telnet boards now adays, but this might change in ║
║ the future. Only traders with experience and who are known usually get ║
║ access to the good telnet boards. The basic tool for telnet couriering ║
║ is Ztel. It allows you to upload using Zmodem. To compile ztel.c on ║
║ linux and/or Sun/OS, type 'gcc -o ztel ztel.c'. If you have any ║
║ problems just ask your ISP administrator (Ztel is is freeware). Once ║
║ your Ztel is compiled type '/home/path/ztel xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxxx'. To ║
║ upload, go through the normal upload procedure and wait for the Zmodem ║
║ string. Type 'control-a' then let go, then tap 'u'. It will ask for ║
║ file names or processes. Type '*.zip' or whatever you want to upload. ║
║ Ztel will download automatically if you want to leech some SNES games ║
║ from Euro boards. ║
║ ║
║ Here's where it gets a bit tricky. To use screen and ztel together ║
║ (screen allows you to multitask in your shell) you must type this when ║
║ you initialize your screen 'screen -e ^Tt'. ║
║ ║
║ I would like to thank Superior Force and Fortune for helping me ║
║ learn how to use Ztel and screen together. ║

║ ║
║ Lately, it seems that Napalm is dominating the games scene, with ║
║ their pure abundance of releases, not to mention the speed at which they ║
║ release them. There is one problem though, and we see it almost every ║
║ time there is a Napalm release. Napalm can't release a single thing ║
║ without some kind of problem with the game. ║
║ ║
║ We all know about Napalm's little problem, and we have all ║
║ complained about it at one time or another, but this article is not to ║
║ complain about Napalm, it's to congratulate them. ║
║ ║
║ Napalm has gotten so good at fixing problems, it seems that there is ║
║ a seperate 'fix' for every game they release. Napalm is such an ║
║ EXTREMELY FAST releasing group, they almost always miss a problem with ║
║ the game the first time round. I criticized them for this before, and ║
║ now they have perfected the art of releasing. In other words, they ║
║ still release the game fast, and THEN they fix it, once everyone has it. ║
║ It's a great strategy, and because of it, you see Napalm outrunning ║
║ vetran groups such as Razor 1911 and Hybrid through sheer SPEED. ║
║ ║
║ What's more, it seems that lately, Napalm has gotten good at ║
║ covering ass, big time. You see, in the not so long ago release of ║
║ Lemmings Paintball, which was released by Hybrid, there was a CD check ║
║ that for some reason Hybrid failed to find. The most surprising part ║
║ though, was that Napalm almost instantly released a fix for Hybrid's ║
║ mess, just like they do for their own releases. If you ask me, Napalm ║
║ is trying to prove themselves, and they are doing a VERY good job, don't ║
║ you think? ║

║ ║
║ On Wednesday, May 22, channel #Warez666 was taken over. It looked ║
║ like a pretty nice takeover from what I could see. The takeover was ║
║ planned beforehand with extreme care. The people who took over the ║
║ channel setup bots which changed handles every 5 seconds, in order to ║
║ avoid being flooded. What made it even more strange was that these ║
║ people who took over the channel have never before been seen in the ║
║ warez scene. ║
║ ║
║ Beware, if you run a channel for a group or for private use, you ║
║ might be the next one to feel their takeover wrath. The following is ║
║ a series of log files from the scene of the takeover : ║

║ <Kang> Who are you? ║
║ ║
║ <Chainz> I'm the new owner of #Warez666. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> Where are you guys from? ║
║ ║
║ <Chainz> We are Macintosh users that hate channels run from Windows. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> Are you kidding? ║
║ ║
║ <Chainz> Why would I lie? ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> Actually, the channel bots ran under Unix. Can I have ops? ║
║ ║
║ <Chainz> No, I know you are cool with the old owners of #Warez666. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> I am surprised your Macintosh hasn't frozen yet. ║
║ ║
║ <Chainz> Watch your ass. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> You know, the old owners WILL get the channel back. My bet is ║
║ that it will be very soon. ║
║ ║
║ <Chainz> Shut up now, or I will boot your ass and ban you. So fuck off. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> Go ahead, the old owners will have the channel back in no time. ║

║ ║
║ <Kang> How did the takeover occur? ║
║ ║
║ <The^Thief> They spoofed Pickels' IP who was a #Warez666 operator. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> Where are these takeover freaks from? ║
║ ║
║ <The^Thief> I have no idea. ║

║ ║
║ <AoxomoXoA> I used to be a #Warez666 channel operator, but we got taken ║
║ over. We didn't hold the channel that long for nothing. ║
║ We'll be back. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> Are you guys going to relocate to a different channel? ║
║ ║
║ <AoxomoXoA> I don't think so. We are powerful. We'll take the channel ║
║ back. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> Are you guys secretly planning a takeover and retaliation? ║
║ ║
║ <AoxomoXoA> No. ║
║ ║
║ <Kang> Why not? How are you guys going to get the channel back? ║
║ ║
║ <AoxomoXoA> I don't know. ║
║ ║
║ Session Close: Wed May 22 22:58:20 1996 ║

╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ I spoke with Spawn666 who is a fellow THC (The Hardened Criminals) ║
║ member and a #Warez666 operator. I was informed that the old #Warez666 ║
║ operators were not planning to take back the channel. They were just ║
║ idling, waiting for the new operators to make a mistake. An hour after ║
║ the take over, the new operators started to ping timeout one after the ║
║ other. The new operators kicked nearly everyone out of the channel and ║
║ set it to +i. When the bot ping timed out, the old operators flooded ║
║ the others off and took the channel. It was only a matter of hours ║
║ before the channel was taken back. ║
║ ║
║ You might say, "Who cares? It's like a fly on an elephants ass." ║
║ But the point is that no matter how elite you may be, everyone screws up ║
║ sometimes. None of the #Warez666 ops wanted to talk after the fact. ║
║ The Trader, from fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange), informed me later ║
║ that day that the takeover was due to Pickels having been spoofed by a ║
║ Macintosh user. #Warez666 is a good channel once more, owned by IBM ║
║ elites. ║

║ on May 19, 1996 : ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ As of today my role as a courier for ROR (Release on Rampage), RTS ║
║ (Request to Send), and MTY (Mortality) has been cut short. Since ║
║ February, I have been making long distance calls using extrapolated ║
║ credit card numbers (fake). In May, AT&T finally caught on and ║
║ backbilled me for about $1000. My parents were not too pleased with ║
║ this and since it was the second time I was caught, decided to revoke my ║
║ online access. My data line, Internet provider, CompuServe account, and ║
║ shell account have all been cancelled and my modem will be taken out of ║
║ my computer in 3 hours. ║
║ ║
║ The moral of this story is DON'T CARD! Since everyone knows that ║
║ option is ridiculous at least be careful. But seriously, try and trade ║
║ (like Stingray6) from your office. They pick up the bill and it's ║
║ LEGAL. It has been fun everyone! I'll be around on TAR, PC, and ║
║ 666-KILL for those who want to leave me a message. However, I won't ║
║ trade anymore unless I can find a way to do it outside my house. I ║
║ shall return to the scene in about a year when I'm in college. So until ║
║ then, keep on trading and keep the scene alive! ║
║ ║
║ Signed, ║
║ Tai Pan ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ What can I say? Tai Pan, the scene will miss you.. your tenacity is ║
║ admired by us all.. you just keep coming back bust after bust like a ║
║ pirate energizer bunny. See you next year! ║

║ ║
║ DVD players will make their debuts as movie playback machines and ║
║ recordable DVD-ROM drives for PCs. A technology as new as DVD is ║
║ typically too expensive to be of interest to console manufacturers such ║
║ as Nintendo and Sega, but all the major PC manufacturers are watching ║
║ DVD's approach with varying degrees of interest. ║
║ ║
║ Support for DVD from the dedicated game machine manufacturers, ║
║ however, is not entirely enthusiastic, and is sure to change the warez ║
║ scene in the future. Shortly after the DVD movie player hits the ║
║ market, the first DVD-ROM drives will ship for the PC. Initially, these ║
║ drives are expected to retail for somewhere between $400 and $600. With ║
║ a storage capacity of 4.7 gigabytes (versus CD-ROMs which hold 0.65 ║
║ gigabytes) and vastly increased data transfer rates, the DVD-ROM will ║
║ offer developers the chance to produce titles with broadcast-quality ║
║ video and surround-sound audio. In addition to the more immersive sound ║
║ and video, the increased storage capacity will enable the developers to ║
║ place more levels and/or more complex databases in their titles. As ║
║ titles released onto the market use the DVD as a standard format, we ║
║ will be sure to see meggage of the releases by warez groups increase in ║
║ size. Instead of 30 disk releases, we might be in wait for 300 disk ║
║ releases. However, we need not fear, as technology for storage ║
║ capacities increase, so will the technology for fiber optic connections, ║
║ thus increasing transfer speeds. ║
║ ║
║ Like CD-ROM and CD-dependent game machines, there will be no real ║
║ difference in the physical make-up between the DVD-ROM drives available ║
║ for the PCs, and DVD-ROM drives will eventually become part of dedicated ║
║ game machines. When will DVD game machines appear? In general, it ║
║ seems that the gaming manufacturers are content to wait on the sidelines ║
║ for now and to let the folks on the PC side struggle with early ║
║ compatibility and pricing issues. As DVD-ROM drives become available to ║
║ a larger audience, we are sure to see DVD-ROM pirate libraries that ║
║ would be able to hold close to a 500 to 800 games. ║
║ ║
║ Last, but not least, is the possibility of a DVD audio disc. The ║
║ majority of current audio CDs, like many games on CD, do not use the ║
║ entire space on their current media, and so the demand for DVD audio ║
║ discs is almost nonexistent. The opportunity exists, however, to do ║
║ more with audio DVD, especially if it is compatible with the recordable ║
║ DVD-ROM drive. If those capabilities come to fruition, people will be ║
║ able to record hours of digital audio onto a disc at their discretion. ║
║ In that sense, the DVD audio and DVD-ROM would elevate the disc medium ║
║ to a place that the CD never evolved to en masse : serving as mass ║
║ storage medium. ║
║ ║
║ So far, the only DVD spec that has been released is one general and ║
║ vague outline for both the DVD movie player and DVD-ROM drive. Although ║
║ it is somewhat vague, the spec does revel the basic parameters and ║
║ technologies of DVD. It's 4.7 gigabytes storage capacity is certainly a ║
║ considerable improvement over the 0.65 of CD-ROMS, as is its 4.69 ║
║ megabits-per-second average transfer rate (a single speed CD-ROM player ║
║ reads datat at a rate of just 0.15 megabits-per-second). This ║
║ improvement in performance, however, will require additional processing ║
║ muscle in the host machine to handle all the data. Consumer DVD movie ║
║ players will need to include MPEG2 and AC3 audio decoding solutions, and ║
║ it is anticipated that nothing short of a Pentium 166 MHz will make full ║
║ use of a DVD-ROM player for a PC. ║
║ ║
║ Perhaps DVD's main advantage will be in the fact that the option ║
║ exists to make the discs recordable. Some companies have said that they ║
║ are working to make their first DVD-ROM drives off the production line ║
║ recordable. And erasable DVD-ROMs, if they aren't shipped initially, ║
║ are expected to ship on an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) basis ║
║ soon after. Another issue to be ironed out is whether or not the discs ║
║ will be able to store data on just one side or both sides of the disc. ║
║ In the original specs, the discs were planned to be two sided. However, ║
║ the two-sided configuration was being considered only as "possible". ║
║ ║
║ Of course, the whole issue of price is perhaps the major hurdle ║
║ still to be negotiated by those wishing to rush DVD to the market. And ║
║ once it does hit the market, we can see that BBSes with the DVD ║
║ technology will be able to offer a far greater library of downloads than ║
║ the BBSes which do not yet have DVD. Whatever the price, DVD is ║
║ guaranteed to change the face of the warez scene. Whatever the specs of ║
║ the DVD, no one really knows whether it will be the warez scene killer, ║
║ or a new device that will revolutionize the warez scene. ║
║ ║

║ ║
║ For many years, PC users have strived to run software on their ║
║ computer that wasn't ever meant to be run; software from other ║
║ platforms. You may have seen several of these "emulators", in which you ║
║ can play your favorite Super NES game in a little window on your ║
║ desktop. Because you are running something foreign on your computer, ║
║ many things must be given up, such as sound effects, music, and your ║
║ favorite joypad. Why do we want to play them then? Maybe we just miss ║
║ a favorite game we had, or maybe we just want to prove that it can be ║
║ done, but it seems kind of stupid when you think about it, doesn't it? ║
║ ║
║ Even though the emulators that run console warez is fairly new, the ║
║ history of console warez is a long one. You see, a long time ago, if ║
║ you wanted to run a copied Super NES, or Gameboy game, you needed an ║
║ actual console to run them (hence the name), and a "cartridge drive" ║
║ that accepted Super NES or Gameboy cartridges. At one point in time, ║
║ this was such a popular thing, there were actually groups devoted to ║
║ bringing in console warez, just as there are groups that bring in new PC ║
║ software everyday. ║
║ ║
║ Even still, you have to wonder why they did all this. After all, we ║
║ all have a PC, and there are great games released everyday that make ║
║ some Super NES games blow mega farts. Now, with emulators that actually ║
║ work, the fad to play them is even greater, and you can pick up a 'game ║
║ pack' just about every month. ║
║ ║
║ For those of you who love to piss with emulators, here is some ║
║ information to get you going. The only working Super NES emulator for ║
║ PC is for Windows 95, and it was originally released in Japanese or some ║
║ other funky language, but there are numerous versions that have been ║
║ translated so that they are understandable. The version that works ║
║ supports only the .SFC extension (Super FamiCom). Beware that there are ║
║ very many other types of Super NES image files (for the console drives), ║
║ and that if you come across one (SMC, SNS, etc.) you should find ║
║ yourself a program called CTOOL that will convert the file to the one ║
║ you need. If you ever encounter a Super NES game broken down like this ║
║ 'kinstnct.1, kinstnct.2, etc.', CTOOL will also combine these files so ║
║ that they will become one 'kinstnct.sfc'. ║
║ ║
║ There is a Gameboy emulator for both Windows 95 and DOS, both of ║
║ which work quite well (much more stable then the Super NES emulator), ║
║ and they both support the only extension I know of (.GB). So you should ║
║ have no problem playing Wario Land in black and white.. or should you? ║
║ You still won't get any sound, and chances are, your game will freeze in ║
║ the middle, right when you are just getting into it. It doesn't seem ║
║ worth it, but it doesn't stop you from trying. ║
║ ║
║ Let's all play Lameboy games on a $3000 computer! Hooray! ║

║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║
║ Here I will be reviewing the six best games release groups in the scene. ║
║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║
║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║
║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║
║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║
║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║

║ [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║
║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║
║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║

║ ║
║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║
║ Here I will be reviewing the six best games release groups in the scene. ║
║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║
║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║
║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║
║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║
║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║
║ ║
║ Points : ║
║ -------- ║
║ ║
║ [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║
║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║
║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║
║ ║
║ [ 1] The game was a dupe or freeware, ║
║ ║
║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║
║ ║
║ [ 3] Average, ║
║ ║
║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║
║ ║
║ [ 5] Excellent! ║
║ ║
║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║
║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║
║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║
║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║
║ game will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║
║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║
║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║
║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║

║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║
║ Here I will be reviewing the six best utils release groups in the scene. ║
║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║
║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║
║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║
║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║
║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║
║ ║
║ Points : ║
║ -------- ║
║ ║
║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║
║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║
║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║
║ ║
║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║
║ ║
║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║
║ ║
║ [ 3] Average, ║
║ ║
║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║
║ ║
║ [ 5] Excellent! ║
║ ║
║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║
║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║
║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║
║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║
║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║
║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║
║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║
║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║

║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║
║ Here I will be reviewing the six best utils release groups in the scene. ║
║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║
║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║
║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║
║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║
║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║
║ ║
║ Points : ║
║ -------- ║
║ ║
║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║
║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║
║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║
║ ║
║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║
║ ║
║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║
║ ║
║ [ 3] Average, ║
║ ║
║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║
║ ║
║ [ 5] Excellent! ║
║ ║
║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║
║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║
║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║
║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║
║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║
║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║
║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║
║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║
║ ║

║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║
║ Here I will be reviewing the six best utils release groups in the scene. ║
║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║
║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║
║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║
║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║
║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║
║ ║
║ Points : ║
║ -------- ║
║ ║
║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║
║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║
║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║
║ ║
║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║
║ ║
║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║
║ ║
║ [ 3] Average, ║
║ ║
║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║
║ ║
║ [ 5] Excellent! ║
║ ║
║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║
║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║
║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║
║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║
║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║
║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║
║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║
║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║
║ ║

║ Dear Road Rebel, ║
║ ║
║ The BBS scene pimped on the Internet scene. It was so much more ║
║ interesting to be in! I mean getting stuff around in 0-2 day was HARD! ║
║ It took skilled couriers. I think the Internet ruined everything. ║

║ ║
║ Dear Koon Dog, ║
║ ║
║ I think you're very right, the BBS scene involved much more skill. ║
║ People would spend countless hours logging onto boards around the world ║
║ to get new releases so they could put everything around the world and ║
║ get all the releases out. But why do you think the Internet ruined ║
║ EVERYTHING? I think it raised the competition that much higher. Now ║
║ people really have to try hard to get places before others do. When the ║
║ Internet wasn't around, the competition was not to get stuff around ║
║ faster than anybody else, but to get stuff around at all. Now, we have ║
║ so many great couriers and they all try to push the same stuff to the ║
║ same place, and people lose by mere seconds. I think that makes things ║
║ that much harder. But of course, "it is not who does it first, it's who ║
║ does it right," and it could quite easily be said that much of today's ║
║ scene is filled with bad releases that don't work. ║
║ ║

║ Dear Road Rebel, ║
║ ║
║ The Internet has fixed some things and fucked up other things. ║
║ Couriers are having a ball now trying to do things before others. ║
║ However, like you say, there are some new problems. Many boards are ║
║ getting partial releases and that doesn't help anybody. It makes the ║
║ courier look bad and then makes the group look stupid. Ultimately, it ║
║ lowers the quality of the board. ║

║ Dear Reader, ║
║ ║
║ I think you bring out an interesting point. The scene is currently ║
║ in a transition regarding the Internet and the BBS scene. The Internet, ║
║ I think, will end up prevailing, but while we're making this transition ║
║ from BBS to Internet, the two are clashing. We're going from one ║
║ resource that can push a meg per second, to a resource that pushes no ║
║ more than 3k per second. That's a huge bottleneck, and one that will be ║
║ resolved as soon as we start getting BBSs running on private T1's and ║
║ Cable modems. Until then, the bottleneck will still slow us down. As ║
║ soon as the transition is complete, the scene will breathe a fresher ║
║ air. ║
║ ║

║ Road Rebel ║

║ Topic For Next Week : Week Old Group ║
║ ║
║ As always, we see about three new groups a week, and about three ║
║ more die every week. However, none of these groups grow beyond 2 or 3 ║
║ releases. Every once in a while, if we're lucky, the group ends up ║
║ releasing on a regular basis. Sounds like a winner, right? Wrong. ║
║ Most often, the group's releases don't work, are uncracked, or even ║
║ incomplete. One would think, in theory, that new groups can't hurt ║
║ anything. Sure, there could be too many of them, and they take up time, ║
║ but if they release, they're helping the scene. However, this is hardly ║
║ the case. ║
║ ║
║ The situation has become so bad that now, when one finds a release ║
║ that he wants, he must check twice to see what group released it. ║
║ Often, if the group is not a megafigure such as DOD or PWA, Razor or ║
║ Dynamix, he won't even download it, for fear of wasting an hour of his ║
║ time just to find that what he downloaded doesn't even work. So, what's ║
║ the alternative for the hopefuls to get big in the scene? What do you ║
║ think these small groups are doing to the scene as a whole? Do you ║
║ think they benefit it, or inhibit its success? Do you think their ║
║ releases, even though small in number, are worth downloading? Do you ║
║ trust them? Write back and tell us what you think! ║

║ ║
║ <Taurus> You may be going over your budget on computer software to ║

║ You might be trying to save your money for a major purchase ║
║ such as a new ISDN modem. ║

║ ║
║ <Cancer> You will find a partner of the same sex on IRC that will ║
║ entertain you sexually. Each of you is in a mood for lively ║
║ IRC chat. Your art of conversation will a strategic plus in ║
║ attacing a lot of faggots. ║
║ ║
║ <Leo> You feel like a LION, your nerves are jumping out of your skin. ║
║ This is not a good time to quit groups. Too much thinking will ║
║ give you a big headache. Uploading without downloading is going ║
║ to exhaust you. Go get some rest. ║
║ ║
║ <Virgo> You might be excited about going out on a date with someone you ║
║ recently met. Don't be, this person is not interested in ║
║ talking to you. ║
║ ║
║ <Libra> You could be hoping to get a raise in position within a warez ║

║ ║
║ <Aquarius> Don't be defensive if you make a mistake on IRC. Nobody ║
║ cares. Stay focused on getting it done right. Nobody is ║
║ perfect, not even guys from Napalm. Well, Napalm is a little ║
║ more less perfect than most, but if Napalm can learn, so can ║
║ you! ║
║ ║
║ <Pisces> Getting into better physical shape is a possible desire. ║

║ Date: Sun, 28 Apr 1996 01:02:01 -0500 (CDT) ║
║ From: Chris Carter <[email protected]> ║
║ To: [email protected] ║
║ Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ║
║ Subject: Software Piracy from [email protected] ║
║ ║
║ Dear John Doe: ║
║ ║
║ I have found a user in your Internet domain who plays a large role ║
║ in the distribution of copyrighted software on the Internet. This user ║
║ uses the nickname "Ordinance," and uses the account "[email protected].". He/she ║
║ is a member of an underground group called "RTS." This group is ║
║ dedicated to the transfer of illegal commercial software to a large ║
║ audience of users on the Internet. They use the most efficient and ║
║ fastest methods possible. ║
║ ║
║ The user was seen on IRC at exactly: Sun Apr 28 02:04:41 1996 EDT. ║
║ ║
║ In an effort to stop software piracy on the Internet, I have been ║
║ monitoring various groups of users on the Internet Relay Chat network. ║
║ This medium of communication has become very popular with "warez" ║
║ pirates who exchange commercial software illegally. On the IRC network, ║
║ groups of people come together to use sophisticated methods to ║
║ distribute commercial software to literally thousands of users. With ║
║ such large scale distribution methods, the software industry is losing ║
║ millions of dollars. ║
║ ║
║ I have no direct evidence to show you that this user is ║
║ participating in illegal activities. But I can direct you to where ║
║ evidence can be found. If you are permitted to do so, I suggest that ║
║ you take a brief scan of the user's home-directory and check for any ║
║ suspicious files. If you cannot do this, I recommend that you keep a ║
║ close eye on this user and watch for any unusual activities. Please ║
║ take whatever action is appropriate in dealing with these matters as ║
║ stated in your organization's Internet Policy Agreement or Network ║
║ Etiquette Policy. ║
║ ║
║ Thank you for taking the time to read through this message. And ║
║ thank you for any assistance you can give to help resolve this matter. ║
║ Your time and help is greatly appreciated and I give you my full ║
║ gratitude. ║
║ ║
║ Thanks again, ║
║ Chris Carter ║

║ I believe this user, Chris Carter, is violating numerous laws, to ║
║ include guidelines set forth by the Electronic Frontier Foundation ║
║ (EFF). His means of monitoring are clearly illegal in the United ║
║ States. He is known to use hacked accounts, send false mail, hide his ║
║ address, monitor channels in "IRC" through stealth modes - his presence ║
║ not visible to users of the channels. He is also making great ║
║ accusations with no evidence causing undue harassment and libel. Undue ║
║ conflict between user and administrator and possibly resulting in the ║
║ loss of accounts, if not involvement by state/local/federal authorities. ║
║ Chris Carter's tactics seem to be strategic and premeditative in nature, ║
║ a direct attack on the reputation of whomever he chooses to harass. ║
║ ║
║ It is encouraged that the unethical and unlawful behavior of Chris ║
║ Carter be stopped, to protect privacy, freedom of speech, reputations of ║
║ the innocent and prevent him from abusing any other computer systems ║
║ through subversive and/or illegal "hacking" methods. ║
║ ║
║ Chris Carter certainly gets around. Upon mention of his name, many ║
║ people have spoken out in outrage at his actions and methods. This ║
║ e-mail is a collective result of concerned citizens in both the United ║
║ States and abroad. To my knowledge, there are seven other instances of ║
║ such accusations sent via e-mail with no support. ║
║ ║
║ Upon contact, a system administrator from the first provider has ║
║ stated that they have checked the files of the user in question, ║
║ permissible by a written legal form signed by the account purchaser, and ║
║ have not found a single thing of illegal nature. Why is this violation ║
║ of privacy necessary due to the likes of Mr. Carter, who does not seem ║
║ to respect the rights of innocent people? One must wonder whether ║
║ Carter's basis for these accusing messages has anything to do with the ║
║ reason of "software piracy" as Carter states. If so, his observations ║
║ are error-prone. ║
║ ║
║ The second provider involved has not commented. ║
║ ║
║ Thank you for your time and, hopefully, support. Chris Carter is a ║
║ criminal by any standards and must be dealt with by legal means before ║
║ spreading more harm among the Internet community. ║

║ ║
║ <Hitex> .. and I score again!!! ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Dammit Hitex, how do you do this? You got to teach me some ║
║ of your tricks man. How do you get all these girls to go ║
║ out with you? I'm fairly desperate these days, I only have ║
║ 2 weeks left of school now and I haven't even scored yet. ║
║ You're only a junior and you've already scored with TONS... ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> I scored big time last night, it was with a SENIOR.. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> WOW!!! No way, dam you're good bro!!! What was she like? ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> I don't think you'll like her though Rebel Chicken, remember, ║
║ everyone has different tastes. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Well, I still haven't had too much to taste, I'd do anything ║
║ to taste some right about now. Hey, how far did you go with ║
║ this senior chick? ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> ALL the way, the whole 9 yards.. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Spare me no details! ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> I don't think it would be wise, I'd rather not dwell in the ║
║ details of my private life. Suffice to say, I got a handful, ║
║ and it lasted til dawn. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Awww.. come on.. not even for me? Do you have a picture of ║
║ her anywhere? Can you send me over a picture of her, or ║
║ maybe I could just go over to your school next week, ║
║ whichever is easier for you. ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> I think sending you a picture of the girl will be easier. I'm ║
║ not sure if I could get a guest pass in such a short notice, but ║
║ I'll try. It'll be hard getting you a guest pass though since ║
║ my Principal rarely gives out guest passes. I'll try. Anyways, ║
║ I always keep pictures of girls I've gone all the way with. I ║
║ can send you the GIF of this senior chick, it's from the year ║
║ book from last year when she was a junior. I'll also send you ║
║ the chick I went all the way with last year... ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> You never told me you went all the way more than once! Dam ║
║ Hitex! What have you been hiding from me.. you've probably ║
║ buffed more than 2 and you're just trying not to brag. You ║
║ think it'll make me feel bad so you're trying not to hurt my ║
║ feelings.. tell me more, send me the GIFs!!! ║
║ ║
║ <Hitex> Okay... ║
║ ║

║ The other day, I was sitting in the can of a public restroom, and ║
║ among the scribbles on the wall, I noticed something that meant ║
║ something to me. Somebody had etched the words "PiL 96 !!" on the wall ║
║ with a black marker while taking a shit. I sat there and thought, and ║
║ thought.. then I wondered if these were actually the scribbles of a ║
║ member of Pirates in Legion, the present but forgotten utils group. Or ║
║ I suppose it could have been a VERY happy fan, but who knows. All that ║
║ thinking encouraged me to stay on the can and think some more. ║
║ ║
║ All this thinking led me to think about the importance of group ║
║ names. When thoughts come about a group like fATE, do you think of the ║
║ meaning behind it? Somebody put a lot of thought into that name (maybe ║
║ they were on the can like me), and it brings importance to the group. ║
║ The word fATE alone can make you think about alot of things, but the ║
║ underlying meaning is still "Fast Action Trade Exchange". ║
║ ║
║ Other names that we know of, such as PWA, or even COPS, makes one ║
║ laugh when we think of the meaning. I know I'm not the only one who ║
║ thinks Pirates with Attitudes is just a little cheezzzy, let alone ║
║ Couriers of Pirated Software. But we look and we laugh, after all, we ║
║ can't let the scene get too serious now, can we? ║
║ ║
║ A few more minutes of shitting led me to think about the importance ║
║ of handles. There are some funny names of groups out there, and I ║
║ realzied that could extend outside the spectrum of mere group names. ║
║ Many handles of the people in the scene are equally ridiculous. ║
║ ║
║ For example, if you can recall the handle of Fan Fan La Tulipe, the ║
║ late President of TDU-JAM!, or our very own RCN editor, Rebel Chicken. ║
║ Both these names are extremely ridiculous, but none the less, it's not ║
║ the name that really matters, it's what's backed by it. You could call ║
║ yourself ABC or 123 if you really wanted to, and it wouldn't make a ║
║ difference, it's not your handle that's important, the important matter ║
║ is the substance that backs it up. And the same can be said for groups, ║
║ you could start a group called RWN, Raisins with Nuts, but if that group ║
║ releases consistent quality or couriers in a fashion revolutionizing to ║
║ the scene, then that group will receive the recognition and respect it ║
║ deserves regardless of its cheezzzy name. ║

║ The bell rings. I am faster than the bell, I had packed my bag 20 ║
║ seconds prior. As I was walking toward my next class, I couldn't help ║
║ but notice that to my left was Emily, I think of her as this really ║
║ stupid blonde girl, and Hitex thinks of her as "pimple face". ║
║ ║
║ Oh God, please tell me Emily doesn't see me, I don't feel like ║
║ talking to anyone right now, especially not her. May be I can just ║
║ mingle to the right of the hallway and hide behind some freshman. The ║
║ day is not going well. The stupid blonde girl greets me and starts ║
║ small talk. I am extremely agitated and I wish that she'd just leave me ║
║ alone. I can see that she starts her conversations the same way every ║
║ single time, no matter who she's talking to. In fact, everyone from my ║
║ high school talks the same. Everyone says the same thing, the same way, ║
║ and by far, I am as guilty of that as anyone else. I can read their ║
║ minds and I perceive that what they say and what they feel are as ║
║ different as night and day. I show interest in what she says. I smile. ║
║ I nod my head. I smile again, and I wish to myself that she would shut ║
║ up. ║
║ ║
║ Now I'm really in trouble, our conversation has superseded the ║
║ usual "How are you doing" and the "I'm doing great" bullshit, and she's ║
║ going out of her routine small talk. She asks me a question. Even ║
║ though I have no idea what her question is, I try my best to reply. I ║
║ give her the no fuss answer, "Wow, that's cool." ║
║ ║
║ I see her lips move up and down again, but I have no idea what the ║
║ hell she's saying. She pauses and smiles. I see her smile and so I ║
║ smile back, and I assume that it is time for me to reply, so I say to ║
║ her, "Wow, that is REALLY REALLY cool." ║
║ ║
║ Suddenly, I grow very confused. I start asking myself questions I ║
║ have never even thought of before. I know that these questions I am ║
║ asking myself have always been part of me, but it is only now that I am ║
║ allowing them to surface. I ponder. ║
║ ║
║ Why can't she just be herself? I know she is not very fond of me. ║
║ Why is she acting like she's my friend. I don't even know her that ║
║ well; the only reason link I have to her is that I sit next to her in my ║
║ English IV class, I hardly doubt that's a basis for friendship. Is she ║
║ acting nice because it's othe cool thing to do?" And, why can't she ║
║ stop talking, she is becoming very annoying. She asks me another ║
║ question, this time, I don't know what to do. To think that I used to ║
║ want to go out with her, yuck.. what the hell was I thinking? ║
║ ║
║ A part of me speaks, the part of me that stems from archaic roots ║
║ takes over. I will have to sacrifice dearly, but today, I will let my ║
║ dark side take over. In a matter of 20 seconds, I will destroy the ║
║ "nice guy" image I had worked so hard building up these last 4 years. I ║
║ was good at deceiving people, I got them all to think that I was a "nice ║
║ guy". Not this time though, I don't really care anymore. I choose to ║
║ come out of the closet, so to speak, I'm going to just be myself. I say ║
║ to her in my own tone, without smiling, "What the fuck is wrong with ║
║ you? Can't you tell that I have absolutely no fucking interest in what ║
║ you're saying to me?" I said it really loud, and nearly everyone in the ║
║ hallway stops to look at me. I feel very embarrassed, but I don't care, ║
║ I am having fun. ║
║ ║
║ Unfortunately, one of the people who hears me yell at the stupid ║
║ blonde girl, was the Principal. The Principal rushes to me and puts his ║
║ hand on my back. He asks me why I was acting so agitated, and asks me ║
║ whether or not I needed to go to the nurse's office. The Principal must ║
║ think I'm mentally unstable. Well, I'm NOT crazy, I'm just elite. I ║
║ tell him that I am not crazy, and that I was merely acting natural, I ║
║ couldn't take it anymore. The bitch was too annoying, I only did that ║
║ which was necessary to prevent mental collapse. I haven't been myself ║
║ for nearly 4 years now. I don't want to fall into that trap again, like ║
║ before, I didn't want to end my conversation without showing her who I ║
║ really was. I don't regret any of what I did. ║
║ ║
║ The Principal slaps on my back a pink sheet. On that pink sheet, I ║
║ read, "Two hours detention." I shrug and I start walking back toward my ║
║ next class, I feel free, free again, free at last, and once again, I ║
║ here a voice saying, "I don't regret any of what I did." ║
