│ Dear Reader : │
│ │
│ This is the eigth issue of Reality Check Network. By this time, we │
│ feel that we are well established and are willing to better yield to │
│ the readers' demands. Improvements are constantly being made to RCN as │
│ a result of reader input. If you would like to participate in the │
│ further enhancement of RCN, or if you would like to subscribe to our │
│ mailing list, please send E-Mail to [email protected]. │
│ │
│ EXCLUSIVE!!! We got bored of the same-old same-old e-mag, so we │
│ decided to do something potentially stupid, but fun nonetheless. Yeah, │
│ you got it, we interviewed the FBI, no, not FBI the group, the FBI, the │
│ one that's constantly chasing us :-). Read all about it in the │
│ Interviews menu. │
│ │
│ NEW, and IMPROVED (I guess), RCN now has an ASCII version for all of │
│ you, that for some reason just can't handle our totally k-rad coded one. │
│ It's called RCN-08.TXT and is located within the main ZIP. Enjoy it! │
│ │
│ 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 │

█ Dear RCN, █
█ █
█ I'm starting to get sick of having to go to a friend's house █
█ every time I want to read this mag. It's an awesome mag, but I run █
█ LINUX and can't read the mag without a text version. Please make a █
█ copy of your mag that is viewable by those of us that can't run your █
█ EXE as soon as possible. Thanks. █
█ █
█ █
█ Dear Reader, █
█ █
█ Ya, ya, alright, fine, it's done. Within our main ZIP is a █
█ file called RCN-08.TXT that is an ASCII version of the mag. Enjoy it █
█ (though I'm sure you won't enjoy it nearly as much as you would the █
█ executable version!). █

█ Dear RCN, █
█ █
█ Do you know what happend to iNQUISITION?? I've been looking █
█ for their mag (no offense) for weeks now and haven't seen any issues. █
█ Is it just not getting couriered, or is it dead or something??? █
█ █
█ █
█ Dear Reader, █
█ █
█ Apparently Raptor, their main editor, or something like that, █
█ has vanished off the face of the Earth. Well, not quite, according to █
█ iNQ #10, he's still around, just finally found out about women or █
█ something like that, hehehe. Oh, if you haven't seen Issue 10 of iNQ █
█ yet, you should look out for it. Though about 2 weeks late, it's █
█ around. Mostly a message saying that the mag isn't dead, because █
█ there's not much else in it. █

█ █
█ Dear RCN, █
█ █
█ Your magazine is WHOOPING on iNQUISITION!! Keep up the great █
█ work, I enjoy reading your e-mag every week, and don't want to see it █
█ go. Disregard that fuckin' bull shit that iNQUISITION said in Issue █
█ 10. I can't believe they've got the balls to say that they're still █
█ #1 after all that shit. For two issues straight they've been talking █
█ about shit that has nothing to do with WaReZ and all of a sudden they █
█ publish poems and jokes. When I read a mag, I don't want to read what █
█ Lurch or whoever turned into his English class the day before. I want █
█ to read about WaReZ and what's going on with the scene, and your team █
█ is doing a great job bringing that out. █
█ █
█ █
█ Dear Reader, █
█ █
█ I'm not going to comment about iNQUISITION because it is not in █
█ the best of our mag to do that, all I'll say is that all opinions are █
█ valuable, and I don't want to see iNQUISITION go, no matter how good or █
█ bad it may be doing. We're grateful for your support, though, and hope █
█ that your opinions about RCN don't change through time. █

█ █
█ We got the idea for this project a few issues back when we didn't █
█ know what to write about for the next issue and were feeling that both █
█ of the e-mags were beginning to get a little repetitive, and that we █
█ needed to have something new, yet something essential for the warez █
█ public to hear of. While brainstorming, it seeemed that almost on the █
█ same note, Rebel Chicken and I jumped and said "Let's interview the █
█ FBI!!!" We giggled a bit, laughed at our apparent stupidity, █
█ childishness, and moreover, FOOLISHNESS, and continued to brainstorm. I █
█ don't think we were at all forgetting about this new idea, though, and █
█ not five minutes later, we came back to it. █
█ █
█ We began to think more rationally, and attempted to find a way of █
█ having a close encounter with the Federal Bureau of Investigation █
█ without risking our own safety. We have worked over the period of █
█ approximately three weeks to try to get you the best scoop that we █
█ could. We feel that our coverage is very thorough and that we have done █
█ an awesome job getting the important facts out, the facts that we should █
█ all know if we're going to stay in this business. We sincerely hope █
█ that you will enjoy this section, we have spent many hours working on █
█ it, and we are quite sure that you will find it useful and informative. █

█ █
█ Now for some background information: █
█ █
█ Recently a new branch of the FBI opened up near our area, San █
█ Francisco, California, USA. The main reason that this agent knew so █
█ much about the topic we were studying is (apart from a bit of luck on █
█ our part) that this branch is dedicated to the investigation of computer █
█ related crimes. A bit for my own good, I wanted to investigate this to █
█ see if they were coming for me, or for the perverts that hang out on █
█ #gaysex and trade GIFs. █
█ █
█ How us Mofos started this search: █
█ █
█ We started by finding a good, comfortable pay phone, namely one with █
█ a nice, soft chair, that we could sit on for the length of an interview █
█ and be no less comfortable than we would be if we were sitting our asses █
█ in front of IRC :-). We spotted the perfect one, nice, deserted area, █
█ and a soft chair! We were rather excited, went back home, got the █
█ number to the department, a tape recorder (despite the fact that the █
█ FBI agent preferred we didn't tape it) and headed back to our site. We █
█ called the office, asked to speak with the press person, and were █
█ greeted by a very nice person (as most press-people should be!). We █
█ asked whether or not anybody would be able to grant us a phone interview █
█ and just as she was about to decline, she spotted an agent that didn't █
█ seem to be doing much. She transferred us to his line, and the █
█ interview began (We got a tad more nervous :-). Here, read on!!! █

█ █
█ █
█ Q : The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) was first started in an █
█ attempt to arrest Al Capone for his bootlegging crimes. Since the █
█ computer age, the government has ushered a new objective for this █
█ force. No longer is the FBI solely responsible for drug dealing █
█ and homicides, but they have been granted a greater jurisdiction █
█ because it is now responsible for the investigation of other █
█ high-tech computer related crimes. What are your main concerns █
█ involving computer crime? █
█ █
█ A : Computer crime has brought upon us a much more difficult form of █
█ crime to investigate. Currently, our main interests involving █
█ computer crime are to eliminate child pornography, credit card █
█ fraud, and grand theft. Such crimes are difficult to investigate █
█ because of the distance between the investigator and the suspect, █
█ the ease of impersonation, and the Constitution, which keeps us █
█ from breaking into high-level programs to grab information about █
█ a suspect. This is still a relatively new field for us, and due █
█ to the high rate of development and advancement in technology, █
█ our staff's methods must keep up with those of the criminals. █
█ █
█ Q : Can you please elaborate on the three main concerns that the FBI █
█ department is facing? █
█ █
█ A : Credit card fraud involves people hacking into the Internet and █
█ virtually tapping lines where they grab credit card numbers. Then █
█ they use the cards as they would their own, often buying thousands █
█ of dollars' worth of goods. Child pornography has come to an █
█ all time high this past year. Pornography has always been around, █
█ but it seems that a new form of it has plagued us. Explicit █
█ photographs of boys and girls as young as 8 years old have been █
█ found on the Internet, and the government has not been able to do █
█ anything about it due to their limited control of people "freely █
█ expressing" themselves. Grand theft is estimated to have been █
█ going on for roughly 15 years, making it one of the oldest █
█ computer crimes around. Grand theft often involves the trading █
█ of unlicensed software, severely hurting software distribution █
█ companies. █
█ █
█ Q : What keeps the government from completely banning child █
█ pornography? █
█ █
█ A : The United States of America is just that, a set of states, united █
█ under one law, the Constitution. However, the 10th amendment █
█ states that all laws not clearly defined within the bill of █
█ rights be given to the states. Thus, different states have quite █
█ different laws, including those of child pornography. Keeping █
█ within the laws would be simple for each individual state, but █
█ with the Internet, it has become virtually impossible to control █
█ data, as most of the time, one does not even know what state s/he █
█ is sharing data with. Even with the passing of laws regulating █
█ such activity, enforcement would be extremely difficult if not █
█ impossible. █
█ █
█ Q : Recently many major software companies, such as Novell and █
█ Microsoft, have made a lot of noise about their software being █
█ illegaly copied. Apparently this has been going on in excess of █
█ fifteen years. What keeps the FBI from taking down all the people █
█ that pirate software? █
█ █
█ A : Software piracy occurs in many forms. One way is when a person █
█ simply copies programs for another person on disk, and trades it █
█ in person. Another very common way is online. The Internet is █
█ filled with forums dedicated to computer piracy, and then there █
█ are computer Bulletin Board Systems (BBSs) that are also dedicated █
█ to piracy. Restricting trade on the internet, much like with █
█ child pornography, is virtually impossible because of the freedom █
█ of speech and expression. The FBI has quite a presence on the █
█ Internet sites and chat channels, but can't really do much about █
█ what it sees. BBSs are slightly easier to deal with. If the FBI █
█ gathers enough incriminating information about a certain system █
█ (which often takes years to achieve), it may receive a search █
█ warrant to raid the operator's house. The FBI currently has █
█ access to a number of the "top" BBSs, most of which have over TEN █
█ incoming phone lines. I can not give specific information on █
█ upcoming busts, but I will reveal that the FBI is working on some █
█ very significant ones, and is constantly trying to end this costly █
█ crime that is causing American companies huge losses. █
█ █
█ Q : What is the usual procedure when a person gets "busted" for █
█ software piracy? █
█ █
█ A : It's rather depressing, because the majority of the time, when we █
█ catch someone pirating software, it is a person under the age of █
█ eighteen. We don't want a punishment so light that the minor will █
█ disregard it and commit the crime once again, but we don't want a █
█ punishment so stern that it will ruin the person's life. When an █
█ adult is caught, the outcomes can be quite serious. Fines in the █
█ hundred thousands are often imposed, and all computer equipment █
█ containing illegal material is seized. Being caught for such █
█ white-collar crimes can really mess up a person's life. █
█ █
█ Q : What is your main hinderance from being able to take down any and █
█ all BBSs that you find in violation of piracy laws? █
█ █
█ A : We know about many, many boards in violation of such laws. We can █
█ even gain access to many of them, but the FBI is in sort of a █
█ catch-22. When we log on to a BBS, we often find a message █
█ stating either that if we are in the FBI, we must disconnect █
█ promptly, or that we must leave a message to the operator stating █
█ why we want access to a board. If, however, we do gain access to █
█ a BBS, our worries are by no means over. We have to find a file █
█ containing illegal software and be able to "download" it. Before █
█ we can do this, however, we often have to send the BBS something █
█ of our own. That is where our search generally ends. If we get █
█ involved in sending a BBS some pirated software, we are in turn in █
█ violation of the law. Such activities are different from drug █
█ dealing where the FBI is allowed to go undercover, and even █
█ impersonate a drug dealer. However, whenever we logon to a board █
█ we are stepping into someone's house and must abide by their █
█ rules. Thus, we must have a search warrant. █
█ █
█ Q : How, then, do you ever take down a BBS? █
█ █
█ A : Our main resource is Narcs. When we catch a person and impose █

█ Due to the fact that our interview was done by phone, the personal █
█ level of contact was not there, and the FBI agent felt free to end it as █
█ soon as he had to go. Approximately 15 minutes into the interview, we █
█ were forced to end it because he had a call on the other line (DOH!). █
█ I think this should be a wake-up call for all of us. It sure was for █
█ us. We often forget how vulnerable we are. This interview clearly █
█ shows what we must do to keep from getting busted, and I'm quite █
█ confident that if we follow those steps, we will be alright for the next █
█ few years at least. We should keep on our toes, though, and keep up █
█ with the times. Congress is constantly debating bills that mostly █

█ █
█ Q : You have comments that Razor 1991 should have been rated the #1 █
█ games group in "Best of 1995 Games" in RCN #7. What are your █
█ reasons for thinking that? █
█ █
█ A : Well, Razor dominated the floppy scene for the majority of 1995, █
█ and became a top notch CD group before the year's end, there is no █
█ reason for Razor not to be #1. █
█ █
█ Q : Many people also believe that the late group, Genesis, was the █
█ best in floppy, as far as cracking. There were many rumors that █
█ Razor floppy games were not cracked, and there were many group █
█ problems, such as the conflict between The Renegade Chemist and █
█ The Speed Racer. █
█ █
█ A : Genesis was nowhere near the best. Razor dominated, as seen in █
█ any warez report. Genesis was known for their low budget titles █
█ and as a result got the nickname 'budgetis'. Being an ex-Razor █
█ member, I had tried all the games, and they were all cracked. That █
█ is just a rumor. The Speed Racer and The Renegade Chemist had a █
█ power struggle which was at the beginning of the year, resulting █
█ in The Renegade Chemist's dismissal. █
█ █
█ Q : Were there any problems with Genesis releases that would make █
█ Razor superior? █
█ █
█ A : Genesis was budget, and their releasing near the end was minimal █
█ because Razor ruled europe, and Europe was the only place floppy █
█ titles were coming from near the end. Genesis titles were between █
█ 15-20$, BARGAIN discount titles. They were not as shitty as █
█ Tyranny, but they released a bunch of cheap shit. █
█ █
█ Q : You are an ex-Razor member, why are you an "EX"? █
█ █
█ A : TSR and I were in an argument about certain things within Razor. █
█ One thing led to another and i told TSR to remove me from the █
█ group NFO. █
█ █
█ Q : What was your position in Razor? █
█ █
█ A : Razor Council. █
█ █
█ Q : What were your responsibilities when you were Razor Council? █
█ █
█ A : I was one of the Razor leaders along with Pharaoh, TSR, The Gecko, █
█ and Third Son. I took care of my "division" within Razor. █
█ █
█ Q : What is meant by "division"? █
█ █
█ A : Razor is separated into many "divisions", each with its own leader █
█ to make sure things run smoothly. █
█ █
█ Q : What division were you in charge of? █
█ █
█ A : The uhh... "creative calling" division... :) █
█ █
█ Q : What were some of Razor's internal conflicts between TSR and TRC? █
█ What happened within Razor that made TRC split away and start █
█ Eclipse? █
█ █
█ A : The problem was, TRC wanted the group to fold, but TSR/The Gecko, █
█ and the rest of the crowd wanted Razor to live on, TRC released █
█ "Razor is dead" text file, but Razor kept releasing, and a short █
█ while later, a vote came to see whether or not to let TRC back in, █
█ and they voted not to. As for Eclipse, that took a while, TRC █
█ wanted to become the leader of Fairlight, but that didn't work █
█ out, then he joined Tyranny, and Cyber Angel made it clear to TRC █
█ that he wouldn't be the leader so he grabbed his remaining █
█ "people" in Razor, and with some outside sources, formed another █
█ floppy games group, Eclipse. █
█ █
█ Q : Why did TRC want the group to "fold?" at it's prime when Razor was █
█ the #2 floppy games group? █
█ █
█ A : Razor had very serious financial problems, and was being beaten █
█ by Genesis at the time, so i guess he thought there was no hope █
█ and decided to kill the group. █
█ █
█ Q : What do you mean by financial problems? █
█ █
█ A : They did not have the money to pay back the suppliers for the █
█ originals. █
█ █
█ Q : What the FUCK? Razor BOUGHT their releases??? █
█ █
█ A : Of course, every major group does, or at least some of the titles. █
█ That's what distribution sites are for, to keep a balanced budget. █
█ █
█ Q : What are your views on Hybrid? █
█ █
█ A : Hybrid could be a great group, but they have run into a BIG load █
█ of financial problems. That's why their have had no releases █
█ since 1996. █

█ █
█ I read the interview thoroughly and have a few things to say to you, █
█ Evil Current, and any other people that think that Razor should have █
█ beaten Genesis out in '95. First off, I remember quite vividly a moment █
█ last year when Razor was having a hard time releasing anything at all. █
█ I can't complain about that, though, because there were very few disk █
█ games to release, and Genesis understood that before you did. Razor was █
█ a very good group in '95, kept quality very high, but I can't endore █
█ that Genesis was a "budget" group. I just can't say that any of the █
█ following releases are "budget." Heck, I'm inspired now... I WOULD █
█ compare releases from both groups, but fuck, Razor didn't do rzr-*.zip █
█ in their releases so I can't identify their releases. Alright, I'll █
█ just name some of the more impressive Genesis releases of '95, we'll let █
█ our readers decide if they are "budget" ($19.99 or less :-) releases. █

█ I am in no way dissing on Razor, they did an awesome job in '95, but █

█ █
█ Q : Why was Physical Form expelled from DMN (Demolition)? █
█ █
█ A : Well, it has been an ongoing thing with him. He has been banned █
█ several times from the group for various reasons. Tonight was the █
█ final straw when one of our ansi artists said he could not be in █
█ the group anymore because Physical Form had been bugging him to █
█ join another group called aCe. █
█ █
█ Q : What did he have against DMN? █
█ █
█ A : We demoted him from senior to council just because he was a pain █
█ to work with. We should have just kicked him out. █
█ █
█ Q : Why do you think he was trying to take members from DMN and take █
█ them into aCe? █
█ █
█ A : Basically, I think that he was doing it because he knew that his █
█ days in DMN were coming to a close. He is not a bad recruiter, so █
█ that is why we kept him in. █
█ █
█ Q : In what ways has he previously compromised DMN's integrity? █
█ █
█ A : He was supposed to find us some more suppliers by January 8, or he █
█ would be kicked out. I guess he's been saying to everyone that █
█ DMN has never released anything since its first day. █
█ █
█ Q : So he had a plot to ruin DMN? █
█ █
█ A : At least that is what I was told by the ansi artist. I don't know █
█ if it was a plot but he was definitely trying to steal members █
█ away from the group. He has been using his affiliation with DMN █
█ to get people into aCe. He would tell people he was a member of █
█ DMN, but that he was in a better group called aCe. █
█ █
█ Q : Is it true that Physical Form applied to groups with multiple █
█ aliases, hoping to get accepted as one of them? █
█ █
█ A : I would not put that past him, I have seen him in our channel with █
█ different nicks just to watch. He thinks he isn't seen, but he is █
█ an all around lame dude that will bug you about something until █
█ you give in. I guess that is what made him a good recruiter. █

█ Q : Why was Physical Form expelled from DMN (Demolition)? █
█ █
█ A : He's a lame ass little kid that did everything to give DMN a bad █
█ name. He was once a good assistant to DMN, but since he started █
█ to annoy me and other people, he has turned totally around. He's █
█ been going around spreading rumors about DMN. █
█ █
█ Q : In what ways has Physical Form compromised DMN's integrity? █
█ █
█ A : Well, for one, he's a lame kid, and people even laugh at DMN and █
█ look down on us when they see that Physical Form is in our NFO. █
█ I have seen countless times people putting him down, and us for █
█ having him in DMN. █
█ █
█ Q : Why do others look down on him, what has he done to earn such a █
█ bad reputation? █
█ █
█ A : Just having him in DMN is bad advertisement, he acts too immature █
█ to be in a group, much less COUNCIL! He was even stupid enough to █
█ try to discourage new applicants from joining. We gave him many █
█ chances to get suppliers, but he's too lazy. Then, he also annoys █
█ me EVERY day. █
█ █
█ Q : How long have you know about Physical Form's own group, aCe? █
█ █
█ A : Actually, it is Silicon's group. I've known Silicon since he █
█ started aCe approximately 2 months ago. No biggie, they're not █
█ well known yet. █
█ █
█ Q : Because of Physical Form's high position in aCe, how did he use █
█ his high position in DMN to steer people away from DMN and into █
█ aCe? █
█ █
█ A : He tried to discouraged new applicants, who could supply, from █
█ joining DMN, by saying that we HAVE NEVER Released, what a bunch █
█ of bull shit. Actually, I believe Physical Form won't be in aCe █
█ much longer. I know all the high up people in aCe, let's just say █
█ he won't be around much longer. █

█ █
█ Q : Why were you first demoted from DMN from a senior to council, and █
█ then kicked out of the group all together? █
█ █
█ A : I was demoted from DMN, because I didn't do anything for DMN. █
█ █
█ Q : What were your duties in DMN? █
█ █
█ A : I was supposed to help recruit suppliers, couriers, and boards. █
█ █
█ Q : Did you do ANYTHING BAD or lame to get kicked out? █
█ █
█ A : I am not really sure, but I did say some things that I did say █
█ some things that were the other way around. █
█ █
█ Q : The other way around? You have been accused of many things, among █
█ them, for stealing members to aCe, another group you are in, how █
█ do you feel, now that you are no longer in DMN? Do you feel that █
█ your status in aCe is more secure? █
█ █
█ A : I have not, tried to steal any DMN members. I only asked some of █
█ there suppliers, if they wanted to join aCe, because aCe is a █
█ games group, not a utils group. Since the boot from DMN, it was █
█ harsh, because it was a pretty good group. My Status in aCe is █
█ very secure, because they treat me with respect. █
█ █
█ Q : Every member of DMN knows that DMN also releases game, and as a █
█ senior, I'm sure you must have known about it. █
█ █
█ A : Oh, I really didn't know DMN release games, I have only seen them █
█ release one game, so I assumed they do a majority of utils. █
█ █
█ Q : Are the rumors true that you are about to get kicked out of aCe? █
█ █
█ A : I haven't heard any rumors that I was going to be kicked from my █

█ █
█ Q : Ice Kitten, you were dismissed from fATE, there are rumors that █
█ you left the group, and there are rumors that you were kicked out? █
█ Which is true? █
█ █
█ A : #Fatefiles was taken over by a small band of irc people who █
█ decided to keep it all day. I was unaware until I came along much █
█ later that day. Well it so happened that one of the guys who took █
█ it over was a friend of mine way back when I was a little lamer on █
█ the undernet. So we started talking and he invited me into the █
█ locked down #Fatefiles. When he invited me, I just sat in there. █
█ I was talking to a member of fATE, storm, who was desynched and █
█ was logging the channel. He decided to post only small parts of █
█ our conversation. I was getting tired of fATE anyways, they are █
█ rude, and more concerned about politics and STARTING wars, than █
█ couriering warez. I was basically kicked out for associating with █
█ someone who took it over cause I was given the opportunity to take █
█ the channel back when my friend opped me. I told him to deop me █
█ immediately and he did. A couple of fATE members, after seeing █
█ what happened through Storm's log file, called me a traitor, █
█ Others understood. They did fire me, and then I asked them to let █
█ me resign. So officially, I resigned. █
█ █
█ Q : How did fATE regain control of #Fatefiles? █
█ █
█ A : Those guys who took the channel decided to give it back 20 minutes █
█ after I got involved. fATE was caught with their pants down and █
█ couldn't take it back. That is what fATE deserves when they got █
█ a guy like g0d who goes around starting wars with every other █
█ group. █
█ █
█ Q : Storm tattle-taled on you? █
█ █
█ A : I guess he is a "loyal" fATE member. He is pretty nice, but I did █
█ not like how he tried to make me look bad. █
█ █
█ Q : What were your duties as a member of fATE? █
█ █
█ A : I was a net courier. I filled up the sites like you wouldn't █
█ believe. Ask Doobie, he is the main site operator. I also █
█ offered files in the channel about 10-16 hours a day. I was a █
█ very dedicated member and Anti Derivative can't disagree with █
█ anyone on that. █
█ █
█ Q : What are your feelings of fATE now that you are no longer in it? █
█ █
█ A : I have bad feelings toward them. They lost a very good member due █
█ to LAME politics. If you want to fire someone, get rid of them █
█ because they aren't doing their job. Not because they decided NOT █
█ to pick sides in lame wars. So now I am much happier. No more █
█ soap operas. I get to focus on writing KittyKill v1.7, setting up █
█ my site, and couriering! █
█ █
█ Q : Would you ever take a fATE invitation if they forgave you? █
█ █
█ A : No. If they invited me, I would certainly decline. I would █
█ rather quit the warez scene than go back to fATE. They need to do █
█ some serious improvements before they end up dying. █
█ █
█ Q : What has life been like after fATE? █
█ █
█ A : I'm happy. I'm 22 years old, married and have a little daughter. █
█ She is 1 year and 3 months old, and she already has her own █
█ computer. Oh, and get this, g0d asked me to setup a fATE site █
█ after all that trouble! I said I would think about it, and I did, █
█ and decided to go to MALiCE instead, where they courier instead of █
█ argue. █

█ █
█ A : I did not leave RTS to start my own group, Death Stalker, an RTS █
█ coordinator at the time, did not like me a whole lot. I still do █
█ not know why, but he kept saying that he was going to kick me out █
█ of RTS. So I got tired and left, I then joined NAFTA, another █
█ courier group. At that time, I still had not thought of starting █
█ my own group. When NAFTA died, there were no other decent courier █
█ groups (I didn't think RTS would want me back, and I didn't call █
█ long distance enough to even try for RiSC), so I decided to see █
█ what I could do at running a courier group. As I said before, █
█ MindCrash is not out to compete with the other big courier groups, █

█ Q : MindCrash has grown in size and power since its original birth █
█ many months ago. MindCrash is now the official courier group for █
█ two release groups, how will MindCrash grow in the future and what █
█ are its goals? █
█ █
█ A : MindCrash is the official courier group for 3 groups. We are very █
█ proud of our new affiliations, Legacy, Mayhem, and The Sixthed █
█ Circle. All 3 of these groups have been really great to work with █
█ and have been very helpful for us. █
█ █
█ Q : What do you feel about other courier groups, such as RiSC, RTS, █
█ and MALiCE? █
█ █
█ A : MALiCE is kind of the old RTS I was in, RTS is now making a HUGE █
█ come back, and I've seen many RTS tagged files in the past few █
█ days. RiSC is just plain RiSC, the most respected courier group █
█ in the scene. █
█ █
█ Q : What is your opinion on Pre-tagging? █
█ █
█ A : I think pretagging is fine with courier groups who are official █
█ for certain release groups. If a courier group has proven █
█ themselves enough to a release group to become "official" couriers █
█ for them, then I think pre-tagging may be the best way to █
█ coordinate things. After all, if one argument of the tagging █
█ issue is true, then it doesn't matter who tagged it, it only █
█ matters who uploaded it. And if that argument is true, then Pre- █
█ tagging is almost a way to greet your official couriers in each █
█ release █
█ █
█ Q : While you were in RTS, what exactly turned you off besides Death █
█ Stalker, what finally made you LEAVE? █
█ █
█ A : Oh, I loved RTS. I did not want to leave at all. Death Stalker █
█ told me he was going to make sure I got kicked out, so he told the █
█ seniors that I was not uploading to my assigned board. He was █
█ halfway right, because my modem was broken for almost a week. I █
█ immediately bought a new one via express mail, but that is not █
█ giving me a fair shake. After that week, I uploaded 50+ megs in █
█ one night then he told me i was kicked out. I asked Dorian if I █
█ was kicked out and he said "No way, we just want you to courier to █
█ your board." - or something to that effect. I expressed to Dorian █
█ the problems between Death Strike and me, I do not know if he █
█ ever believed me. But in the end, I decided that I could not work █
█ for a guy that had it in for me since the beginning, so I told █
█ Dorian i had to leave. █
█ █
█ Q : Where is Deathstrike now? Is he in Malice or RTS? █
█ █
█ A : Death Stalker eventually left RTS, taking many members with him, █
█ to start a courier group called Raw Meggage. Death Stalker ran a █
█ courier group called United Couriers before he was in RTS, so he █
█ knew what he was doing. However, even though Death Stalker had █
█ experience, Raw Meggage never went anywhere. Death Stalker is no █
█ where to be found now. I don't know what happened to him. █
█ █
█ Q : If you were invited to RTS or Malice as a courier, would you leave █
█ your current position in MindCrash to join them? █
█ █
█ A : No, I could not do that. My first priority is my couriers. I do █
█ not care what I have to do, I will do it for them, I owe it to █
█ them for the work they do for me. If they think they need a █
█ better President, I will step down then and only then, might I █
█ think about joining RTS or MALiCE as a courier, not that they'd █
█ want me anyway. █

█ This article sparks off of RCN issue #7, the "Mikeysoft" problems. █
█ It seems that Mikeysoft and the "irc.portal.com" IRCOp staff have teamed █
█ up to fight for a lost cause. After the Mikeysoft rumor was spread, and █
█ and the two groups fought over it (DMN-DTC), emerged some angry users, █
█ not angry at Mikeysoft anymore, but angry at the IRCOps, it seems Piker, █
█ the ADMIN at irc.portal.com made a list of unregistered KILLS in several █
█ channels, such as #Fatefiles and #Demolition. These kills were uncalled █
█ for and labeled by the admin as, normal BOT kills. But few users who █
█ were victims claim the same story. Violator of DMN, logged each and █
█ and every one of his /kills to a filelog, and vows to use them against █
█ Piker by sending it in to other Admins across the net. These attempts █
█ were met with hostility from other IRCOps, but were proven that Ops were █
█ not fond of going up against one another. This raises a new question, █
█ have the IRCOps joined together in one big group, in an effort against █
█ all of IRC, vowing never to fight against another? These are the █
█ questions that we want answered, but will these questions be heard? █
█ █
█ The problem with user response is that they all fear the IRCOps, █
█ thinking that an IRCOp will /kill them when they come on, or kill them █
█ when they speak to them. And that fear is wrong, I cannot believe that █
█ IRC could ever become so hostile in such a short period of time. I am █
█ also angry at the IRCOps who do not confront other IRCOps who do wrong! █
█ It has been a few weeks since the problem with Piker, and there are █
█ still no responses, and no actions. This gives users of IRC a reason to █
█ fear the IRCOps, because as "Piker" epitomized, IRCOps can do anything █
█ to anyone, without reason, right or wrong, and it will go unheard and █
█ unpunished. So users on irc, beware, the "irc.portal.com" IRCOps, they █
█ can do whatever they want, to whomever they please. █

█ █
█ When I looked ahead to '96 last year, I expected to see some new █
█ faces in the release and courier scene. In the first week of 1996, the █
█ only major game releasing powers that showed us anything were Legacy and █
█ Razor 1911. I was surprised not to see anything from Hybrid, which was █
█ quite obviously the biggest release power of the second half of '95. I █
█ assumed, however, that they would release shortly, and probably whoop on █
█ the rest of us again, much like they did in '95. I was wrong. An early █
█ visit to #HYBRID this morning yielded a virtually empty channel, it █
█ contained only Hybrid's bot, until that too went down in a split. I █
█ investigated around and the best that I could find was "Well, I HEARD █
█ Hybrid was dead, but why would they go down so abruptly?!" █
█ █
█ It didn't make sense! There could be only three answers to this. █
█ (Oh, if you have any other plausible reasons, please mail them in!) █
█ █
█ 1. The leadership decided to call it quits. █
█ 2. They decided to PLAY games (with our minds) █
█ instead of RELEASING them :-). █
█ 3. Hybrid is in EXTREME financial problems with █
█ FanFan La Tulipe! █
█ █
█ 1. We saw it in TDU-JAM, and many other groups. A group of █
█ leaders, after months of hard work making it to #1, decides to call it █
█ quits. If this is the reason to Hybrid's death, it is a respectable █
█ one, and after all, they came down at their prime. █
█ █
█ 2. They just got tired of releasing games. Yeah, that's it, they █
█ just wanted to play with our minds, and are probably pondering a new █
█ name for the group as we speak! I mean, why would such an awesome █
█ group go down so suddenly, with no warning, and heck, not even a TXT █
█ file stating the death of the group? █
█ █
█ 3. According to Toast, of Razor 1911, Hybrid somehow got themselves █
█ caught up in a financial disaster with the ex-leader of TDU-JAM, FanFan █
█ La Tulipe! We haven't too many specific details, but to the naked eye, █
█ there would seem to be no reason why Hybrid and TDU-JAM would get █
█ involved in any money transfers. █
█ █
█ Hybrid was an awesome group that served us with some of the best █
█ quality in CD games releases ever. It might be too early to tell █
█ exactly what happened, but Hybrid wasn't perfect, and they may have █
█ had internal problems that we just never found out about. Who knows, █
█ those internal problems may have been what lead to its potential slump. █

█ Note : You might want to read the Interview with Evil Current before █
█ reading this article, so you may get better background █
█ information on the topic. Enjoy! █
█ █
█ The scene began as a form of getting software without having to pay █
█ for it. Ultimately this was for the benefit of the end user, perhaps █
█ you. It was taken for granted that if the end user doesn't pay for the █
█ program, the group itself shouldn't either. Groups would get new █
█ releases via store suppliers, who would upload them to a supplier HQ FTP █
█ site, where the group seniors would grab it, test it, crack it, package █
█ it, and send it on its way. Once off, the release would be tossed █
█ around the world within a matter of hours, and would finally end up on █
█ warez boards. However, it seems that something very different is in █
█ fact happening. █
█ █
█ As we learned from the interview with Evil Current, virtually all of █
█ the larger groups actually pay their suppliers for the warez that they █
█ supply. I don't know if this applies only to games, I suspect that it █
█ does, as on the utils side of the market, releases are more abundant. █
█ I doubt that the suppliers, most likely store suppliers, paid for the █
█ software that they supplied, though, so it turns out that the only one █
█ profiting is the supplier. Groups would make up for the lost funds by █
█ charging their member boards and distribution sites a fee for the █
█ assigning of a courier to their location, and oftentimes not even that. █
█ So far I understand that Genesis, Razor 1911, Hybrid, and TDU-JAM have █
█ paid their suppliers and charged their boards to make up for the cost. █
█ This is to say that pretty much all the games groups pay their █
█ suppliers. █
█ █
█ I hate to mention Legacy, being that it is my group, because I feel █
█ that my words will be assumed to be completely biased, but I'll say this █
█ much: Legacy in no way will EVER pay a supplier to supply us with warez, █
█ nor will it ever charge a member board or distro site to carry our tag. █
█ It might sound idealistic but the truth is that all Legacy members █
█ believe in a common goal that we are here to help the scene by giving █
█ away FREE games. If our suppliers are unable to attain software without █
█ paying for it, they will be responsible for the funds, as the problem █
█ should end at their level. █
█ █
█ The whole cycle, from the supplier to the board to the end user, █
█ should not result in the transfer of any money between the groups, the █
█ boards, and the suppliers. We like to tell ourselves that the scene is █
█ just a game and we're all here to have fun, but games never involve █
█ money. █
█ █

█ █
█ It has been confirmed from Crazy Horse that while he was in the latter █
█ months of Genesis, he had to pay $200 a month in order to carry the █
█ Genesis tag on his board. █
█ █
█ In other cases, Razor 1911 boards have been involved with money █
█ transactions totalling over $100 a month, even in their lower times when █
█ they actually didn't realease software totalling that much money in an █
█ entire month. Note that this was at a point when disk games were very █
█ rare and Razor only managed to push through one release in 3 weeks. █
█ Razor is obviously doing much better right now!!!! █

█ Dear Entropy, █
█ █
█ I would like to say a few words about a recent release. I spent 9 █
█ hours one night downloading a program that I was told to be "Killer". █
█ It was "The Planets" released by ROR. After leeching for an eternity, I █
█ got this BIG 36 Disker ??(Check please) release, this was after going to █
█ ROR channel in IRC and asking a few times, and getting no response. And █
█ all this after having to beg to be invited into the channel. I leech █
█ this program, unzip it, find out it's not a game, it's a galaxy making █
█ program for looking at stars and shit, and from the size I thought I'd █
█ at least get to watch great animations and stuff, but no, the cool stuff █
█ was ripped out and I was left with a shell. I would just like to thank █
█ ROR for wasting an ENTIRE night on a piece of shit program. They could █
█ have at least answered my questions rather than ignore an IRC regular █
█ and justify their obviously due reputation. Anways, Entropy, my plea is █
█ that if a group is going to release a piece of shit like this, and waste █
█ everyone's time, at least warn us or answer when we ask what it is. I █
█ know that some groups may have accidently released programs that are not █
█ fully cracked or are missing parts, at least they give us enough of the █
█ program to see if we like it enough to warrant buying(ECK!) or getting █
█ a fix for it, but there is no excuse for SHIT like this astrology █
█ program. That is about it, I just had to vent my anger at a group that █
█ obviously doesn't care about the scene or the people that make it up. █
█ █
█ Signed, █
█ Irritaded █
█ █
█ P.S. Does ROR stand for Ream our Rumps? █
█ Cause it definitely feels that way. █

█ █
█ Irritated, you are not alone on this, and I do understand and █
█ sympathise with you when things like this happen. I also hate it █
█ when I go and download something that is 30+ disks and to find that █
█ it does not work, or that it is not at all what I was expecting, but █
█ you also have to remember that you have gotten this software for free. █
█ To tell you the truth, I actually thought that software was a game also, █
█ but when I saw the 30+ disk part it drew my mind away from even thinking █
█ of getting the program. Now not going back on what I have said before █
█ about software for free and please do not complain, I'm human also. I █
█ sometimes would love to go into a group's channel and just start yelling. █
█ I think that one of the major problems you had was the lack of support █
█ from the group that released the program. ROR has shown me the same █
█ attitude when I have had a question to ask. The people who release the █
█ software should also be mature enough to stand behind what they release █
█ and give you support when you need it, and not turn their backs on the █
█ public that they are releasing for. And concerning your "Ream Our Rumps" █
█ statement I persoanlly would like to hear publicly what ROR has to say. █

█ Dear Entropy, █
█ █
█ I read your "Dear Ent" for the first time in RCN issue 7, I agree █
█ with you that virused programs are very easy to fix, since it only takes █
█ about 30 seconds to run a scanner, but it is very bothersome cause you █
█ don't expect a group to release things with viruses in them, and it came █
█ to me as a surprise. Oh, I don't agree with you on releases that don't █
█ work. I know I downloaded it for free, but it does take a lot of my █
█ time. That's all I gotta say, groups should check their stuff, cause █
█ when I download 50+ disk utils from groups, and find out they're fucked █
█ up beyond belief, I get PISSED... I mean.. stuff like that shouldn't be █
█ happening on the internet. █

█ programs. For all you know the site that they first U/L it to had a █
█ virus of some kind and when they were adding the diz or what not, who █
█ knows. The thing is though that it would save time and energy for you █
█ to just run that virus scanner than to go into a channel and bitch about █
█ something that will ultimatly get you no place but banned from the █
█ channel. █
█ █
█ 50+ disk utils in the first place should not even be released. If █
█ something is that big it must be SO important as you would need to buy █
█ the software instead. I do agree with you again that when things don't █
█ work it bugs the crap out of me, but what can you do about it? Nothing! █
█ When groups release something MOST of the time the groups go to great █
█ lengths to test a release well before they release the program. █
█ Sometimes the release may work perfectly on their computers and not on █
█ yours. Who knows, but MY point is that what are you really gaining by █
█ going into a channel and bitching about a program? Are you trying to █
█ show off how K-rad or C00l you are by pissing off a group as much as you █
█ can ? It is stupid and a waste of your time and the group's time. █
█ Wouldn't you rather they be spend time on another release and perfecting █
█ that then having to put up with whining bullshit from somebody who just █
█ spent 2 hours of his life getting a software package for free?! █
