Malice Downfall.

Emulating RCN-15.EXE in DOSee.

Use these tabs to make adjustments to the emulation

If the emulation is taking too long to load, you can turn it off.


Reload DOSee to launch the DOS prompt

Applying changes will reload the page and reboot the emulator





Changes are not applied until the browser tab is reloaded





DOS programs need a keyboard for user input
Some common keys used in DOS programs

ENTER to select or continue
ESC to navigate back or exit
are often used to navigate menus


Emulation too fast?
Set the emulator to use the 386 CPU configuration

Experiencing graphic or animation glitches?
Set the emulator to use VGA only graphics configuration

Need to turn off the audio?
Disable sound card support

Have no audio?
  1. Try Gravis Ultrasound hardware
  2. The song or audio file maybe missing from the program

DOSee pronounced dos/see, is our emulator used to run MS-DOS based software in your web browser.

MS-DOS (Microsoft DOS) was the primary operating system used by PCs during the 1980s to the early 1990s and is the precursor to Microsoft Windows.


DOSee is a slimmed down, modified port of The Emularity.

The Emularity is a multi-platform JavaScript emulator that supports the running of software for legacy computer platforms in a web browser. It is the same platform that's running emulation on the Internet Archive.

EM-DOSBox is a discontinued, high-performance JavaScript port of DOSBox that is applied by The Emularity for its emulation of the MS-DOS platform.

DOSee uses BrowserFS ZipFS and ZipFS Extras to simulate zip file archives as hard disks within EM-DOSBox.

DOSBox is the most popular MS-DOS emulator in use today and is frequently used by commercial game publishers to run games from their back-catalogues on modern computers.


DOSee, built on The Emularity, EM-DOSBox and DOSBox. Capture screenshot and save function built on canvas-toBlob.js.

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. │ │ │ │ Signed, │ │ Hitex/Rebel Chicken │ │ RCN Editors │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ I see an obvious bias in the RCN reviews against DOD in favor of ║ ║ higher scores toward PWA, and it sickens me.

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.

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.

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. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Skeelo Blow ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Hitex/Rebel Chicken ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ It's great to see you back!

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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Krypto Interviewee : Desys ║ ║ Subject : Motiv8 Affiliation : Motiv8 Council ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your current position in Motiv8? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : I am Motiv8 Council. I basically watch over the group, find fast ║ ║ couriers, and fast FTP sites, etc. I also protect the channel. I ║ ║ make sure the group doesn't die like the rumors say it's going to ║ ║ happen. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How was M8 founded? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well, I am not fimilar with all the history. I know that MASON ║ ║ founded it. He's still with us. It had some people that left and ║ ║ quit. Igor was a council member along with Davan when I merged ║ ║ tNt with M8 but they quit within a week. So I had to take the ║ ║ place of Davan/Igor by watching the group and Davan's job ║ ║ "couriering". I do a little couriering to some of our FTP sites. ║ ║ I also do what Igor was supposed to do which was to watch the ║ ║ group make sure it never dies, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : In recent news, Davan and Igor left M8. How can you account for ║ ║ him leaving? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well I think they both left for perfectly good reasons. Davan ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Sailor Moon ║ ║ Subject : Moon Prism..

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.

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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : The Wicked One ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Imperial ║ ║ Subject : PTA Beeeaaaach!!!

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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Super Hacker Interviewee : Incarnate ║ ║ Subject : RCN/Road Rebel Affiliation : Ex-ROR Senior ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your opinion of RCN as an E-Zine group? ║ ║ ║ ║ INC : Well, I think it has done well in the past.

FOOEY!!! Affiliation : n/a ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Tuxedo Mask ║ ║ Subject : MALiCE Downfall ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The following is a logfile of the happenings in channel #Malice shortly ║ ║ after the group suffered it's greatest lost this year : ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Session Start : Thu May 23 15:54:03 1996 ║ ║ ║ ║ <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!

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!!!

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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Instant Rage ║ ║ Subject : Napalm FUCKS Up.. ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 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? ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Kang ║ ║ Subject : Macintosh Takeover??? ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ On Wednesday, May 22, channel #Warez666 was taken over.

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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Instant Rage ║ ║ Subject : Console Warez ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 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!

║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Utils Reviewed : 04/25/96 -> 05/01/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : -- Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : -- Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ --───────────────────────--─ █▄ --─────--- Release Score : 0 ║ ║ ▄▄▄▄▄■██▄ ▄▄▄▄▄■██▄ ▄▄▄▄▄ ███ ▄▄▄▄▄■██▄ Running Total : 0 ║ ║ █░░░█ █░█ █░░░█ █░█ █░░░█ █░█ █░░░█ █░█ ║ ║ █▒░▒█ █▒█ █▒░▒█▀█▒█ █▒░▒█ ██ █▒█ █▒░▒█ █▒█ ║ ║ █▓▒▓█ █▓█ █▓▒▓█ █▓█ █▓▒▓█ ██ █▓█ █▓▒▓█ █▓█ ║ ║ █████▄██▀ █████ ███ ▀████▄██▄██▀ █████ ███ ║ ║ --──────────--- ███--──────────────--- ███ ║ ║ dawn'96 present ▀█ acii/tal0n ▀█ ║ ║ --─────────────────────────────────────--- ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODLWP01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-28-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ LAN WORKPLACE 5.1 DOS/WIN [01/15] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 3 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 28-apr-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTY-ATS1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-28-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ AutoSketch r2.1 for Windows 3.1/Win95 Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 4 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/05]\_____\_______>[04/28/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYDDR01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-29-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Digital Dressing Room Pre-Beta 1.00 [1/3] Previous Total : 4 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 6 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/03]\_____\_______>[04/29/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYFIRES.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-30-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ FIRESOFT Q&A: OFFICER!

Utils ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

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. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

If you have ever had a question about the ║ ║ scene or just a comment, here's the place! Have you ever wanted to know ║ ║ why some people do this or that? ASK! I would love to take it to the ║ ║ extreme for you and we will be happy to research it! I hope you have as ║ ║ much fun with this as I will! Remember, this is YOUR column! ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Koon Dog ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Road Rebel ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Zero Prime ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ 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?

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.

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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ░▄▄▄ ▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄ █▄▄ █▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ █▀▌ ░▄ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ █▄█▄▐░▀ ▀█▄▄ ░░ ░░ ██ ░░ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀░▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░▐▐█▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ░░ ░▐▐█▌█▐▌░░ ▐▐█▌░ ██▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐▌▌ █▀░ ▄░▀▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ █▌▐██ ▌▄ ▀█▄ ▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▐████▌▌ ▀▀■▀▐█░ ▀░ ▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▀▀█▄ w a r e i q t e s t ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Test your knowledge of the WAREZ SCENE!

People call me... ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 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. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ■▄▄█ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▄▄█▀░█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ■▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ██▌ ▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀█▀▌r c n ▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▄█▄█ ▐█▌▌ ███ ▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ▐▐▌ ██▌ ░▀ ▐█▌▌ ███ ▐█▌▌░░▐██ ░ ░▐▐▌▌░▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░░ ░ ██▌░░ ░▐▌█ ░░░ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▐██ ░ ░▐▐▌▌░░ ▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄██ ▐█▌ ▄█▀ ▀ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▐▌▌ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀▄█▀ ▀ ▐▐█ ▐▄█▄▐▌▌ ▐▄▄▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▐▀█▌ ▀░ ▀ ▀░ ▀ ▐▌▌ ▄█▄▌ ▀░ ▀▀█▄ ▄██▄▌▀ ▀ ▀░ m a d r c n ! ▀▀█▄ ▄██▄█ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Rebel Chicken ║ ║ Subject : 5 Minutes ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 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." ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ Hitex : Editor │ │ Rebel Chicken : Editor │ │ │ │ Xenon : ASM/MOD │ │ │ │ Celestian : ANSi │ │ RATM : VGA/WWW │ │ Marbz : NFOs │ │ │ │ Darkwing : IRC Offer Bot │ │ Undinism : IRC Offer Bot │ │ Velocity : IRC Offer Bot │ │ │ │ Joker : FTP Site │ │ │ │ Everclear : Top 10 : BBS │ │ Shatter : Top 10 : FTP │ │ │ │ Defender Zeta : Writer │ │ Frost : Writer │ │ Instant Rage : Writer │ │ Kahn : Writer │ │ Krypto : Writer │ │ Lucifers Fear : Writer │ │ Road Rebel : Writer/Internet Coordinator │ │ Super Hacker : Writer/Courier Coordinator │ │ Tuxedo Mask : Writer │ │ │ │ FTP Site : 167.206.212.37 │ │ Web Site : http://www.shu.edu/~importmi/rcn │ │ E-Mail : [email protected] │ │ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
