║ ║
║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ Well, I have just finished reading most of RCN #17, I especially ║
║ liked how only one side of the story was presented about the #ROR ║
║ takeover by Razor 1911. In a minute, I will explain how everything got ║
║ started, but first, I would like to comment on whoever did the interview ║
║ for RCN. ║
║ ║
║ RCN editors have recently been talking a lot of the use of the word ║
║ lame to describe, saying it is over used and that most of the people ║
║ saying it are the lame ones. The person who conducted the interview for ║
║ RCN, flat out call ROR lame. I am not sure who was doing this ║
║ interview, but I would assume it was Rebel Chicken. If I remember ║
║ you've run 3 basic shit groups, and you have the balls to call another ║
║ group lame? ║
║ ║
║ In ROR's worst time, it kicked the fuck out of VND or FSW. An ║
║ unbiased emag? I don't think so. I was on the Internet the entire time ║
║ the shit went down, NEVER ONCE, was I asked for ROR's side of the story. ║
║ If you had time to get Razor 1911's side, you had time to get ROR's. Or ║
║ maybe you're too "lame" to do that much at one time? ║
║ ║
║ Now, onto how this all unfolded. ROR has had many problems with ║
║ takeover, usually because of friends. We op someone on a friends list, ║
║ then they op someone else. This was the case that night. Rom Racer, as ║
║ he often does, had ops in #ROR. A ROR member named KH was in the ║
║ channel, Rom Racer banned KH, after being told a few times before over ║
║ the past 2 days, not to ban or kick members. After KH was re-added to ║
║ the bot (user lists had been reset), he ban kicked Rom Racer. Other ║
║ Razor 1911 members who had ops started trying to do mass deops, one of ║
║ these people included Loloc, and ROR member when I saw people starting ║
║ to do mass deops, I started to ban kick them to get things under ║
║ control, during all of the deopping and kicking the channel became ║
║ desynched. ║
║ ║
║ While doing a resynch, I became heavily lagged, and Loloc managed to ║
║ get into #ROR, and get ops, he opped several Razor members who tookover ║
║ the channel. After talking to a few Razor 1911 people, we were able to ║
║ get things under control, and worked out, and soon got #ROR back. End ║
║ of story. ║
║ ║
║ Signed, ║
║ Manic ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Dear Manic, ║
║ ║
║ Razor 1911 came up to me and asked for an interview. I searched for ║
║ ROR members but could not find any. You've just presented your side of ║
║ the story, and I consider that a rebuttal. End of story. ║
║ ║
║ *PS* You failed to mention how ROR was trying to take over #Razor. ║

║ ║
║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ Alright, so we saw at least 3-5 couriering groups come and go last ║
║ year. at least 10 release groups, and I dont say games or utils, since ║
║ all the groups that were formed in 1995-1996 besides.. err CORP.. and ║
║ umm Legacy, are going in both directions which is completely lame. ║
║ ║
║ So now we have a scene, where every guy who has a shell and phoenix ║
║ and who is not banned from #exceed, considers himself a part of. A ║
║ scene proud of having 40 releases a day, 35 of which, I can say right ║
║ now, will not work. Come to think of it , most of what will seem to ║
║ work, will be shareware, or will not be 100% cracked. ║
║ ║
║ There are exactly 5 groups on the scene that I trust enough, to be ║
║ downloading their releases, and knowing they will work. As sad as it ║
║ may sound it is the truth. I will tell an even sadder example, a lame ║
║ group , releases a lame ware that might actually work that I might want ║
║ for one reason or another. The lame group then gives the release to a ║
║ lame "official" couriering group and what do we get? Elite couriers, ║
║ fresh off #warez950, trading the release in ascii mode. I fucking swear ║
║ I have seen more than one example of that. ║
║ ║
║ Why do release groups rate every ware they release as a 10/10 ware? ║
║ I understand its cool to have a good util and rate it high, but when a ║
║ group like, lets not mention names here, releases a ware "Pastry Mixer ║
║ for windows 95 xx/50" where all the content was ripped and only the ║
║ coolest .wavs and .avis were left within the release; goes and states, ║
║ ok 10/10 for this one. Give me a fucking break.. the group just earns ║
║ itself a shitty reputation, and after a few releases like that, it is ║
║ banned from all major boards and sites (all the releases from xxx group ║
║ are nuked automatically, regardless of content). ║
║ ║
║ I still haven't given credit where its due. As shitty as everything ║
║ may seem, we still have excellent groups, releasing quality warez, to ║
║ keep the scene going. We still see good boards, have 0 hour files, the ║
║ way it should be. We still have the good sites, getting gigs of 0 min ║
║ stuff weekly. What can I say? It's all up to the people we will hand ║
║ the scene over to in a few years, to decide whether they want to make it ║
║ worse, or better, or destroy it completely (damn, you never know what ║
║ those #Warez950 people are capable of). ║
║ ║
║ Well, that's it for my little $0.02, have fun, trade lots, and get ║
║ good grades in school. Grades are very, very important (those of you ║
║ who are still in kindergarten, please disregard that message). ║

║ Hi! This is Miller. I couldn't help but notice how much bull shit ║
║ is said about fATE. Just because you are somebody else doesn't mean ║
║ they're slow, they suck, or any other bull shit comments. I myself am a ║
║ fATE head, and I seriously think you should try to avoid group bashing, ║
║ especially if it's a group that HAS been in the scene for over a year. ║
║ And if you're gonna talk shit about groups, then talk shit about some ║
║ lamer group, and DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS ║
║ BULL SHIT! ║

║ Dear Miller, ║
║ ║
║ Alright, this is a response not just to Miller but to everybody that ║
║ thinks similarly about anything that was ever posted about RCN. Before ║
║ you make such a harsh accusation of somebody, check yourself first. I ║
║ don't mean to make a public humiliation out of Miller, but I would be ║
║ very impressed if you could just ONCE point out any place where any RCN ║
║ Editor (Rebel Chicken or Hitex) has ever group bashed on fATE. Alright, ║
║ I've given you plenty of time to think, so now that you know you're ║
║ wrong (yes, apology accepted) let's explain a little about what it means ║
║ to accuse RCN of such a task. ║
║ ║
║ When someone submits an article or an interview, it is HIS/HER ║
║ opinion only. Do I need to make a fuckin' disclaimer? I don't think ║
║ so. That's lame. This is an e-mag and everybody in the scene should ║
║ have enough goddamned common sense to figure out that if it doesn't say ║
║ the name of any RCN editor at the top, it's not necessarily the view of ║
║ RCN as a whole! In fact, if it does say the name of an RCN Editor, it's ║
║ not necessarily that of an RCN writer. What is RCN? No, not the e-mag ║
║ part. What makes up the RCN Backbone? It's the editors and the ║
║ coordinators (such as RoadRebel). ║
║ ║
║ If you're a writer but you don't write for a week, your name will ║
║ not be in the credits that week. If you're an editor, however, you are ║
║ responsible for what you say and it is assumed that your feelings are ║
║ also that of any other editor. If you ever see Hitex or Rebel Chicken ║
║ bash any group, you will then be able to say we group bashed, but until ║
║ then, it is simply the views of someone that wrote for RCN. ║
║ ║
║ If the Chairman of Microsoft were to write for PC Magazine bashing ║
║ IBM, I would assume none of you would go out and accuse PC Magazine of ║
║ bashing IBM. The same respect should be extended to RCN. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ So many people trade warez today. So many people striving to be the ║
║ best they can be and having the highest "position" in the scene. So ║
║ many people staying up for hours on end to courier that new release, ║
║ crack that new game, make their group the best. Do these people have ║
║ ANY lives? Don't get me wrong I LOVE warez and the scene and it takes ║
║ up A LOT of my time, but it's fun and that's what we are all here for. ║
║ The reason trading warez is so enjoyable is because the warez world is ║
║ an imaginary one, we rule it. WE have the high positions. WE are ║
║ considered to be GODS. This is very cool because in the real world ║
║ (most of us) are students and kids. Constatly being told "No, you can't ║
║ do this; No, you can't do that." The warez world lets us escape into a ║
║ fantasy world, a world of our own. ║
║ ║
║ The only problem with this is when the fantasy warez world starts to ║
║ rule our "real world". People who stay on the net for days on end with ║
║ no sleep and only stopping to eat and piss. I have been a victim of ║
║ this many times before and I want it to STOP. The world of warez does ║
║ not have any effect on the real world whatsoever. Don't get me wrong I ║
║ LOVE the scene and warez, but there is a point where it has to stop. ║
║ Trading warez is VERY fun and that is the number one reason people do ║
║ it. The competition is also a very big reason. Competing through warez ║
║ is like any sport you can think of. A bunch of teams (Groups) compete ║
║ against one another and try to score points (Release/Crack/Whatever your ║
║ speciality is in the Scene). Doing this gives us all a rush and makes us ║
║ feel special. I don't want to sound dumb, but you can't deny it. When ║
║ someone releases an awesome ware that everyone wants to download they ║
║ feel like "the shit". I guess this is enough reason to be in the scene ║
║ because it is fun, it is enjoyable. ║
║ ║
║ Those who criticize us usually don't have an understanding about how ║
║ fun it is. Well, think about it, how much fun does it sound to sit on ║
║ the computer for hours and type away at whatever your doing. I guess ║
║ it's worth it but that's my opinion, yours might be different. ║
║ ║
║ I have one more thing to say. Groups who fight all the time and ║
║ hate eachother are stupid. The scene was created to have competition ║
║ and fun, not to hate others who are trying to do the same thing you are. ║
║ Everyone is here to do what they do best, specializing in one field or ║
║ another. Ask yourself, if you are criticizing someone else, what makes ║
║ me so much better than them. We are all here for the same purpose, ║
║ don't spoil it for everyone. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ Starting as of June 16, 1996, #warez+ is back in busines. They ║
║ decided to have a bit of a reunion, so they reopened the channel. The ║
║ original ops are back also. Channel Warez+ was always one of the best ║
║ WarezX channels. Although now when people join the channel, no one even ║
║ remembers it and say thing like, "Oh great, another lame warez channel". ║
║ Warez+ was always the hangout of the more elite warez "traders". Right ║
║ now it is just anyone and everyone + their dog. They are currently ║
║ trying to get off the ground again, and once again striving to become an ║
║ elite warezX trading channel. As far as I have seen, they are doing a ║
║ good job. The ops are very nice, not the typical "I dont like that, so ║
║ I will kick-ban you" ops. ║
║ ║
║ Although, I do have one small complaint, which is the auto kick-ban ║
║ of *!*@*.ipt.aol.com, because I dont think it is fair to be prejudiced ║
║ and say that all users from AOL are not worthy enough to be in a warezX ║
║ trading channel, because I know of some very elite people from AOL, that ║
║ have the online service for other reasons then "its so easy and friendly ║
║ to use". ║
║ ║
║ Other then that, I like #warez+, and believe it should be supported ║
║ by anyone and everyone. My suggestion to the ops is to get some Offer ║
║ Bots going in there, just to make it pick up users, and maybe try some ║
║ things that other channels haven't. ║
║ ║
║ And another thing, I know that you are barely restarting the ║
║ channel, and not too many people know about it, but anything you do ║
║ DON'T MASS INVITE! Advertise it to your friends and have them join, ║
║ then let them personally tell people to join. Not just so you wont annoy ║
║ people, but the probability is that these users will be dedicated to ║
║ your channel rather then #warez5, #warez950, #warez666, and such. Think ║
║ if you would like somebody mass inviting in you channel for ║
║ #warez<whatever>. I dont think you would, so dont do it. ║
║ ║
║ Back on the subject of banning ISP's, I have been getting more and ║
║ more pissed off lately. I am a Netcom Dial-Up PPP/SLIP user. Not only am ║
║ I K-Lined from every EFNet server, but now I am banned from a majority ║
║ of Warez Channels. I hang out on WarezX channels about 1% or less of my ║
║ time that I am on iRC, so this really doesnt affect me. But there are A ║
║ LOT of traders that can bring in a lot of warez and trades for your ║
║ channel, but you have ALL Netcom users banned on your bots. If you feel ║
║ guilty (which you should), please take the *!*@*.ix.netcom.com ban off ║
║ of your bots. Thank You and Goodnight. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ It seems like today a lot of the people affiliated with the scene ║
║ have begun to designate everyone as either a lamer or an elite. Almost ║
║ everyone on IRC yells "LAMER" at someone else because of something as ║
║ simple as a file request. Similarly, if someone belongs to a group, be ║
║ him the lowliest courier who doesn't even do half his share, in many ║
║ channels will be revealed as elite. This 'elite' designation also falls ║
║ on channel ops, who often get op status for nothing other than IRC ║
║ relation to the other ops. ║
║ ║
║ I've been around the warez scene for at least 12 years. I can ║
║ remember when couriering really ment COURIERING. 300 bps modems ║
║ couldn't compare with walking to a friend's house with a handful of ║
║ 5.25" disks and just copying what new stuff he had. I'll bet hardly ║
║ anyone in the scene today can name members of groups like Eaglesoft, DCS ║
║ (Doughnut Cracking Service), and a few others. ║
║ ║
║ But does knowing these things make me elite? I hope that that fact ║
║ alone does NOT. I've pretty much done it all, opped warez channels, run ║
║ a BBS, and done freelance couriering between FTP sites and BBSs. I even ║
║ coded some BBS mods. Still, I was never part of an official group. So ║
║ am I a lamer because I never had my name at the bottom of a grop .NFO ║
║ file? I hope not. The point is this - warez, in its entirety, is a ║
║ win-win situation for practically everyone in the scene. Why someone ║
║ who enters a channel asking for a particular ware gets branded a lamer ║
║ and kicked, while 3 idlers sit motionless watching the world go by, is a ║
║ mystery to me. The only 'lamers' in the warez scene are those who work ║
║ to destroy it. ║

║ First, I would like to thank you for the nice comment at the end! ║
║ Next, you are so right about your writing. This whole "lamer/elite" ║
║ bull shit is just so overplayed in the scene. A new person is branded ║
║ lamer about as often as Michael Jackson fucks another male kid. It's ║
║ just an everyday thing and makes no sense at all. Will it end? Do you ║
║ REALLY think Michael Jackson will ever stop? Of course not. It's ║
║ stupid, pointless, but it seems to make these channel ops feel big, and ║

║ ║
║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ I was shocked when I read RCN #17 this past weekend. After reading ║
║ your interview with Endeavour, founder of COPS, and making my own ║
║ assessment of COPS, I wondered if anything could possibly be in a sadder ║
║ shape than COPS. ║
║ ║
║ COPS' NFO is one of the worst ones I've EVER seen. Whoever drew it ║
║ lacks talent and the person that added the text should be charged with ║
║ plagiarism. These guys lack originality and most of their information ║
║ comes from other groups. They have ripped off parts of DOD, Razor, and ║
║ PWA's NFOs. The only original statement is the group's quote and that ║
║ is one of hypocrisy. "COPS will beat you and you will like it!" The ║
║ only thing these poor bastards will be beating is their meat. ║
║ ║
║ Endeavour, if the indication that you guys coming on strong is ║
║ through your releases, may God help you all. When a non-foreign group ║
║ starts releasing software in another language, then you know it is in ║
║ trouble. A few weeks ago, COPS released MS-Access in Chinese. What is ║
║ wrong with you people? Less than 15% of the scene is Asian or even ║
║ Chinese and I'm pretty sure the majority of these people is content with ║
║ their English versions. There is nothing like preparing an English ║
║ database in a Chinese program. Also, when you released Blake Stone, you ║
║ knew that the files dated back to 1993, yet you gave the go-ahead to ║
║ release. This indicates your sloppy leadership and the sad shape that ║
║ COPS is in. For no decent group leader, including groups smaller than ║
║ yours, would have released such crap that one can find in the bargain ║
║ bin at your local software store. At the rate you guys are coming on ║
║ strong, it may take COPS a century to reach the magnitute of what ║
║ Mortality is today. ║
║ ║
║ Endeavour, you have no right to rag on Malice. I remember back in ║
║ February, you used to come into #MALiCE and beg us to courier your ║
║ releases. We kicked and kicked yet you kept on rejoining the channel. ║
║ I have to admit, you are very persistent and arrogant. Otherwise, COPS ║
║ would not be alive today. You think that Malice is dead today, but ║
║ they'll always have more of a fighting chance to regroup than COPS. I ║
║ am surprised that fATE accepted COPS under their protective wing. ║
║ Surely, fATE has more sense and respectability than that. But then ║
║ again, fATE is a second-rate couriering group. Any decent courier group ║
║ will not have a releasing division to back up and/or supplement their ║
║ couriering. I hope that Doobie will come to his senses and kick you out ║
║ as Malice has done. ║
║ ║
║ In conclusion, the only thing COPS will "professionally" specialize ║
║ in is crap. In fact, why not change the name to Crappy Old Pirated ║
║ Shareware? This name would state the true nature of COPS. If you guys ║
║ are coming on strong, then groups such as PWA must be flying in a ║
║ rocket. If a member of COPS today is the NEW batch and holds the key to ║
║ the future of the scene, then perhaps we should all quit or retire now ║
║ to avoid the pain and humiliation that will come later. ║

║ through some majorly shitty releases that I honestly don't think anybody ║
║ in the scene uses today, but I will keep their future open in my mind. ║
║ They have just as much of a chance to raise their standards as any new ║
║ group today. I can only hope that this negative publicity will maybe ║
║ catalyze Endeavour's understanding that he should perhaps raise the ║
║ standard of COPS to a new degree. As for fATE, every group has its good ║
║ times and bad times. Perhaps fATE is going through a slump right now. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ I'm just writing out of disgust. My story is a common one, but ║
║ nevertheless, a sad one. I used to be a lamer <CRINGE!> just like ║
║ everyone else (I find it extremely hard to believe that any of you ║
║ started out by moving files for RiSC!). But, like one dude said in RCN ║
║ #17 (there's no skill in warez, just contacts), I had made some good ║
║ contacts and I moved up the warez 'pyramid.' It was a long climb, and I ║
║ came nowhere near the top, but I don't give two shits about that now! I ║
║ was involved in the fledgling community several years ago, and my ║
║ involvement has carrived to today. I have several past and present ║
║ affiliations, but nothing like RiSC or Prestige. You see, a long time ║
║ ago in the world of warez, I realized that those on the top were ║
║ dropping like flies, and although they had worked long and hard to get ║
║ there, they were all burnt out! I was and still am a 0-6 MONTH trader, ║
║ and you know what? It doesn't matter! It doens't fucking matter at ║
║ all! I have seen the 'elite' come and go, and it never changes. Sure, ║
║ I think it would be cool someday to have 5 phone lines all dedicated to ║
║ moving files, but is it worth giving up my life for? No, not at all! ║
║ ║
║ You see, people in 'the scene' are always saying stuff like 'Man, ║
║ you gotta take responsibility for your actions, you gotta relize that ║
║ you could be arrested,' but ironically, these same people don't take ║
║ responsibility for their involvement. I know people are flying through ║
║ the ranks of warez faster than ever now, but what happens? They all end ║
║ up on the far end of the spectrum, under the 'burnt out' category. ║
║ People don't seem to realize what's going on. If you're going to take ║
║ responsibility for trading commercial software illegally, you have to ║
║ take responsibility for your rise in doing so. It pisses me off to hear ║
║ people complain about how they have no life because of warez, and that ║
║ warez ruined them, and that they become burnt out and retire. I realize ║
║ for some people, myself included, being involved for a long period of ║
║ time does take its toll, and I feel that if you have spent the past 4-or ║
║ so, or however many years moving files, that you deserve the retirement ║
║ you take, but these people that fly through in a matter of weeks, or ║
║ even months, I mean get real people! ║
║ ║
║ It's all about responsibility and maturity. Take it slow, there's ║
║ no big deal about it. It's a hobby, and hobbies are supposed to be fun, ║
║ right? I hope this will serve as a rude awakening for some of you. If ║
║ you're just starting out, don't feel intimidated by the bigger, older ║
║ elite members of the community. Don't feel pressured into spending 16 ║
║ hours of YOUR day behind a computer pressing buttons and moving 0 ║
║ nanosecond warez. For me, warez is just a hobby, and I don't plan on ║
║ changing anything. I am perfectly satisfied doing this in my free time. ║
║ If that makes me 'less-l337' than you, so what? I only do this in the ║
║ evening and when I have or need some time to relax for a bit. ║
║ ║
║ I guarantee to you it will be more fun for me and I will be around ║
║ longer. If you're already established in the scene, maybe this will help ║
║ you re-evaluate what you're doing. I don't think warez is bad at all, ║
║ but I think all those involved need to take more responsibility for the ║
║ scene. When it gets to the point where it is no longer fun, i is ║
║ tedious and a job and you feel pressured into doing it, take a break! ║
║ Even if that means cutting back from 15+ megs a day to 75+ and then 50+, ║
║ do yourself a favor, and do everyone else involved a favor. Be ║
║ responsible. If you're going to get involved, fine, just don't bail out ║
║ in 6 months' time and say you are all burnt out and you have no life and ║
║ just bitch and complain about the scene. Consider yourself warned. ║

║ Dear Energia, ║
║ ║
║ Thanks for the comments! Xenon, our coder, is definitely one of the ║
║ best in the scene. He works hard with us to make RCN the best that it ║
║ can be, and as we all know, the coding is part of what makes RCN your #1 ║

║ I have been reading RCN since the beginning. I am always looking ║
║ forward to the next issue. It seems like every issue is getting bigger ║
║ and better. All of the hard work and time put into RCN really shows. ║
║ The coding is excellent and the music and sound are amazing. Damn those ║
║ games that you put in RCN are awesome (and sometimes frustrating). I ║
║ just want to congratulate all of you guys in RCN for the effort and time ║
║ put into it every week. It really does show. Keep it up and good luck ║
║ in the future. ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : Can you give me a rough picture of who you are and how you pertain ║
║ to the warez scene? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : I'm basically just a courier that can be very dedicated to the ║
║ scene. I know everyone knows just how much I love the scene! I ║
║ started out 4 years ago and very slowly worked my way up. It ║
║ takes much loyalty and dedication to get places. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What are some of your prior affiliations? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : I've been a part of RiSC, Razor 1911, Tyranny, Genesis, ║
║ Generation-X, Everlast, Prophecy, Scum, Pirates with Attitudes, ║
║ Drink or Die, Hybrid, Dynamix, and few others not worth ║
║ mentioning. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Which of these affiliations did you most treasure and enjoy being ║
║ a part of? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : To tell you the truth, RiSC, but as you might know, I left for ║
║ some undisputed reasons. RiSC is the best group ever. Very loyal ║
║ people like Eagle 1, Enforcer, Pharaoh, and Crackpot, make RiSC ║
║ what it is. I was treated with respect in the group. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What were the reasons for your departure from RiSC? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : I had an argument with a netmonkey by the name of Suspicious ║
║ Image. He thought he could boss me around in the group, so I said ║
║ screw this shit and left! For example, he would threaten to get ║
║ me kicked out due to inactivity and so on, so I said to myself who ║
║ the fuck does this lamer think he is!? ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So you went and joined Everlast? Would that have been a second ║
║ choice to RiSC? Which do you enjoy more? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : Well, I joined Everlast so I couldn't really tell you who is ║
║ better to me, but Everlast is a bunch of good friends that joined ║
║ together to make the group. It's really cool. Mr. Skill, ║
║ Asmodeus, Blue Adept, Shatter Star, Immortal, are all pretty cool ║
║ guys. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I seem to remember that Shatter Star was in RiSC for a short ║
║ while. Yet he, too, left for Everlast. Could this be said to be ║
║ an overall statement about the attitudes of RiSC versus those of ║
║ Everlast? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : Yes. To tell you the truth, I'm not the only one that left ║
║ because of Sispicious Image. There are others. People like him ║
║ seem to make the group lame, and I think action should be taken ║
║ towards people like him. To tell you the truth, I think RiSC is ║
║ falling apart. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : RiSC, in your opinion, is falling apart. Do you mean, in other ║
║ words, that Everlast is taking RiSC's old place in the scene? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : No, I think RiSC will always be a dominant group, but it'll just ║
║ lose its touch. Everlast kicks ass, but I can't tell you the ║
║ future man. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What do you think of a "new" (revamped) group called GODS? They ║
║ have split up both Digital and Amnesia to form themselves, what do ║
║ you expect this will do to the couriering scene? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : To tell ya the truth, I think this GODS group will kick some ass, ║
║ but we'll just have to see how long they'll last. Groups come and ║
║ go these days. Kinda reminds me of my old group Cartel. They ║
║ seem to have some pretty cool guys in there, but they will have to ║
║ establish themeselves on the big boards like Akira and Park ║
║ Central. RiSC and Everlast are kicking ass on the boards. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Does Everlast have any organized IRC channels going for it yet? ║
║ ║
║ EVR : Yup, #Everlast is becoming a very good channel as of late. One ║
║ last thing, what the fuck is up Razor 1911's ass? They dissed me ║
║ in their last nfo and I want to know what the fuck I did to them ║
║ besides smoke their asses on releases when I was in Hybrid. Fuck ║
║ they say I'm a backstabber. Fuck I used to so much when I was in ║
║ Razor. I upload to their damn pay sites 24 hours a day, and this ║
║ is what I get, a kick in the fucking ass!! Well all I gotta say ║
║ is FUCK YOU ASSHOLES THE SPEED RACER/GECKO, suck my fucking dick ║
║ you queers, go hop on Hula while you're at it!! I would just like ║
║ to give a shout out to all the Leet dudes out there ASMODEUS, ║
║ TOAST, THE PUNISHER, TOUGH GUY, THE OUTLAWS, CYANIDE, PHARAOH, ║
║ MAVERICK, CORPSE, CRACKPOT, MR SKILL, IMMORTAL, SHATTER, BLUE ║
║ ADEPT, EAGLE1, ENFORCER, CRIMINAL OVERLORD, SWITCH BLADE, SYXUS, ║

║ ║
║ --- : He's my boyfriend and also my best friend. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How do you feel about him getting busted? ║
║ ║
║ --- : I feel that it is very unfortunate for him to have been busted. I ║
║ know that what he did wasn't the best of things, but I think that ║
║ what they're doing to him, especially at this particular time, ║
║ really SUCKS. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What exactly did he get busted for? How did they catch him? ║
║ ║
║ --- : Laugh, well, they accused him of hacking into the FAU (Florida ║
║ Atlanta State University) and destroying someone's email. He was ║
║ also caught stealing files from the FAU. It's in the newspapers. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you think he'll ever make it back into the scene? ║

║ pain these past few day. Besides, after all this, I don't think ║
║ I'd let him back in the scene. If he does come back, I think ║
║ it'll be a while, considering he doesn't have a computer right now ║

║ Subject : Demaxxus Returns Affiliation : n/a ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : You were recently busted and raided by the RCMP (Royal Canadia ║
║ Mounted Police), but now I hear that you are back in the scene. ║
║ Is that true, and if so, how are you able to come back to the ║
║ scene? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : Well, the police didn't have enough evidence on me so they had to ║
║ give me back my computer hardware that they confiscated. The main ║
║ charges were for stolen merchandise, but when the confiscated ║
║ hardware was not the stolen material they were looking for, they ║
║ were forced to give my stuff back and let me go. They basically ║
║ had dick-all for evidence. Although they said they were going to ║
║ be keeping an eye on me, which probably means having a fat cop ║
║ watching me all day to see if I go into any computer stores, that ║
║ fat cop will probably be too busy eating donuts to catch me. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How did the RCMP found out that you were Demaxxus in the first ║
║ place? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : I honestly have no idea how they found me. The only way I can ║
║ think of is if one of the stores I've "found" stuff from gave the ║
║ police my name. I was recently caught on video tape at Future ║
║ Shop getting a modem, so they would have had a picture of me to ║
║ give to the police. Either that, or one of the RATS from our area ║
║ code (most famously known for ratting on Anarchist) made a little ║
║ anonymous phone call. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Is it true that they actually tapped your phone line to get ║
║ evidence, and if so, how long did they listen in on your ║
║ interesting phonecalls? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : Well, I'm not sure if they actually tapped my line, in fact, in ║
║ this technologically impaired city, I highly doubt it. Although ║
║ they must have been checking on my phone line somehow, because ║
║ when they first came to my house, they briefly spoke about ║
║ carding, but that was it, they never mentioned it after that. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What did you think when the RCMP was at your door 7:30 a.m. with a ║
║ warrant? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : My first thought was, "Fuck, what did my brother do now", but when ║
║ they asked for me, I almost shit a brick. I couldn't believe ║
║ they'd finally caught up to me. I thought that they might have ║
║ come to my house because I used to be on Anarchist's board, but ║
║ then they told me they were at my house with a warrant in regard ║
║ to stolen merchandise. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : We all love our famous RCMP officer by the name of TOM JAMES, but ║
║ would he have been the one leading this investigation that led to ║
║ your bust? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : No, to my surprise, he never entered this situation at all. I ║
║ don't even think it was the RCMP (RCMP = Royal Canadian Mounted ║
║ Police = Canadian FBI), it was just the local police. I was kind ║
║ of sad when he didn't show up, I didn't have a chance to give him ║
║ a mint and a bottle of scope. I guess he wasn't part of my bust ║
║ because the warrant for my bust had nothing to do with the ║
║ Anarchist, and the topic was just on stolen property. Neither the ║
║ RCMP nor Tom James was in on my bust. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I was informed that you weren't happy about something which was ║
║ making a front page in the newspaper, is this true and how come a ║
║ local story like this not make it? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : YES! I was fucking pissed off when they didn't have my bust in ║
║ the newspaper, nevermind the front page. If (when) I get busted, ║
║ I want to be in the newspaper, I don't know why, I just do. I'm ║
║ not sure why my story didn't make it. Maybe it was because the ║
║ evidence they had on me was so shaky. And since I got let go, it ║
║ wouldn't look too good for the police if the story was in the ║
║ newspaper, and then have another story in which they had to let me ║
║ go. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Perhaps you were not in the newspaper because someone else known ║
║ as the Anarchist stole the spotlight earlier this year? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : Well, I can't blame it wholy on Anarchist, but partially, yes. If ║
║ he didn't get into kiddie porn, the RCMP never would have come to ║
║ our area code, and everything would be ok. But, since the RCMP ║
║ didn't have anything to do with my bust, it still would have ║
║ happened, no matter what. Basically, he didn't fuck me up, but he ║
║ fucked up the scene here (bhwhahahah... 3 people make up the scene ║
║ in my area code, one of which moved out of my area code and is ║
║ interviewing me right now). ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Now that you are back in the scene, what are your future plans? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : I don't have any permanent plans as of yet, except that I'm going ║
║ to start coding again (PCBoard Programing Language), and I'm going ║
║ to start supplying for a group run by a friend. I'll be supplying ║
║ coffee and donuts, not warez, that would be ILLEGAL!!! ;) ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Which groups are you going to be supplying and coding for? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : I will be coding for pUNC (People Under No Control), and I'll be ║
║ supplying for RTN (Revolution). ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I noticed you were a member of ACiDiC, ACiD's (Ansi Creators in ║
║ Demand) BBS modding division, why did you leave a group with such ║
║ reputation for a new group known as pUNC? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : Well, since I'm going to be too busy with school, I'm only going ║
║ to have time to code for one group. I am very good friends with ║
║ the leader of pUNC, Luptin, so I decided to stay there. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : You used to run a group called ANGUiSH, and since you can supply, ║
║ wouldn't you rather just stick with your own group? ║
║ ║
║ DEM : ANGUiSH was just a BBS modding group, so supplying wouldn't be ║
║ much good there. Plus, I won't be able to supply forever, and ║
║ there are already too many groups in the scene, so it would surely ║
║ fail in no time. And since there are so many groups, most of the ║
║ good suppliers and couriers are already in good groups, and would ║
║ not leave them for a no-name group. ║

║ RCN : What do you do in Prestige? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : I am the founder, the leader, I run the World Headquartewrs, and I ║
║ supply. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Does Prestige release games or utilities? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Games of course! ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How many games would you say you release over the period of one ║
║ week? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : As many as we can. It varies depending on how many titles come ║
║ out per week. Since we began, though, we've released 90% of ║
║ everything put out on the market in the past 2 months. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What does Prestige mean or stand for? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : It doesn't really stand for anything. It's just a name we thought ║
║ up two years ago when we were Amiga only. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Have you had a lot of trouble with egos with your members? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : We have no internal problems with egos. We are working for a ║
║ similar goal. Just because a member is colorful in speech doesn't ║
║ really matter to me, unless he is putting others down. Then, ║
║ there's a problem. I am not the one to decide whether or not my ║
║ members can brag over our work. We are all here to have a good ║
║ time; so let's have it! ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Are you happy with your group? Do you think you've been a ║
║ success? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Yes, I am pleased with what we have achieved so far. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Is Prestige currently accepting new members? If so, what ║
║ positions are currently available? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Since Prestige is mostly a BBS group with the next MIXED in we are ║
║ in need of modem couriers. We aren't in the need for any ║
║ net-based members, though. I get asked 2-3 times a day from ║
║ someone to join the group. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : About how many members strong is your group? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : We currently have 25 very talented members on our team. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Tell us your opinions regarding other groups. ║
║ ║
║ PSG : I don't really give much thought to other groups. One thing that ║
║ bothers me about today's groups is that they don't really care ║
║ much for quality. Groups today are more worried about being the ║
║ FIRST to put something up than doing it right. It's really bad to ║
║ name groups but Napalm is/was a group that had this attitude. ║
║ This is the reason for us starting Prestige. We wanted to bring ║
║ quality to the scene. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Have you had any trouble with other groups trying to down your ║
║ group? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Nah, what others say about us is not relevent. One thing that ║
║ kinda pissed me off was when Napalm stole our crack from Toshinden ║
║ and spread it worldwide, claiming they beat us. That wasn't very ║
║ cool. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Would you say that Napalm is the worst group on the net? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : No, Napalm is far from being the worst group. I bet you didn't ║
║ know that I was in Napalm right before I started up Prestige PC. ║
║ Actually, it was Napalm that made me want to start Prestige PC. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So Napalm is lower than the worst group that ever was? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Nah, Napalm is a good group. It just needs to take its time on ║
║ releasing. That way it can be sure that its cracks work. Only ║
║ problem is that we will beat them. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So why did you want to start Prestige? What gave you the idea to ║
║ make your own group? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Prestige exists for one reason alone, today's groups don't care ║
║ about quality. I was tired of being part of a scene that didn't ║
║ give a fuck if the games worked or not. You have got to take note ║
║ that Prestige on the Amiga released 79 titles in 7 months, all ║
║ 100% working quality games, and never needed a fix. This is the ║
║ quality I am trying to bring to the PC scene. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you think Prestige is headed for the top? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : We are the top. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How long as Prestige been around? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : 2 years on the 23rd of this month. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Yet, I have just noticed Prestige on the market. What happened? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : We decided to become more focused on releasing for the PC. It ║
║ seems that this focusing has changed our group around making it ║
║ one of the best on the net, but the net is secondary to us. We ║
║ are still mainly a BBS bound group. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So do you think Prestige is the best on the net? If not, which ║
║ group do you feel is? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Yes, I think Prestige is the best on the net. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Has running a group really taken your whole life away from you? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Nope, not at all. You just have to know how to delegate ║
║ responsibilities! ║
║ ║
║ RCN : This is kind of personal but do you have a girlfriend? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : I have a wife and kids. Still, I manage to keep my hours split. ║
║ I have a 24-hour connection to the net so I'm on IRC very often. ║
║ And I manage to keep adequate time to spend with my family, my ║
║ group, and my job. I run a computer sales and marketing business. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So why are you more of a BBSer than an Interneter? ║
║ ║
║ PSG : The Internet is good, but it all started on BBSes! I guess I am ║
║ an old-timer. I think it's better to beat Razor 1911 on Beyond ║
║ Akira or their WHQ than it is to beat them on LA or BBX. So we ║
║ try to beat them on both. So far we are beating everyone on BBSs ║
║ and on the Internet with time to spare. You see, it's really nice ║
║ when you can upload all your titles to your BBS and then to the ║
║ WHQ's of other groups and still have time to win on the net too. ║
║ See my point of quality before speed?? I have been in the scene ║
║ since 1987, in Commodore 64, Amiga, and the PC. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So in your time in the scene, has anyone ever really upset you? ║
║ If so, please give me their nicks. ║
║ ║
║ PSG : Samir and Mok! They were in Prestige Amiga. The organizer and ║
║ the best cracker in the world, hands down. He retired at the ║
║ prime of Prestige. We went on an 8-month dry spell and then ║
║ decided to start up the PC division. ║

║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : There are many rumors spread by Motiv8 members that you are a ║
║ narq. You've been accused of narqing on many sites such as Nihil ║
║ and Dropship, and you have also been accused of narqing on many ║
║ people in the scene such as Pseduo, Storm, and Sub. Assuming that ║
║ you do not believe that these rumors are true, then what do you ║
║ have to show to prove that these accusations are not true? ║
║ ║
║ DRG : I would like to remedy myself from all these rumors that are being ║
║ spread by Motiv8 members. As far as I know, the site Nihil has ║
║ merely changed ports and has not been busted. I don't know much ║
║ about Dropship, but it was never on my list, and I don't even know ║
║ the site's IP. Pseudo has left Motiv8 for another courier group ║
║ called Stealth, therefore his site has not been busted as people ║
║ so stubbornly say. Storm, whom I have recently spoken to, still ║
║ operates his site with full force, so how can Motiv8 say I busted ║
║ him? From what I heard, Sub has merely left Motiv8 to be a siteop ║
║ in another courier group called Rapier. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So you're saying that you did not narq on anyone? ║
║ ║
║ DRG : That is all the sites and siteops in Motiv8 who have been "busted" ║
║ and sites that have been dismantled because of my narqing on them. ║
║ It is sad to see one of the more older and respected groups have ║
║ to lower themselves to such a level, as to bring someone down with ║
║ their slowly dying group. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : There is also proof that private sites that belonged to SIN ║
║ (Sinful Traders), a group in which you were a leader in, was also ║
║ busted. Why were the siteops from your group busted? ║
║ ║
║ DRG : Other SIN sites and their operators may have been busted (only ║
║ getting their access taken away from the sites) but that is my ║
║ business and under my jurisdiction, as they were sites in SIN, and ║
║ SIN was MY GROUP, making this whole conflict between myself and ║
║ Motiv8 defunct. Motiv8 is trying to turn away from the fact, that ║
║ they are beginning to lose their sites to faster groups such as ║
║ GODS and RiSC. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : How did the siteops from SIN get busted? ║
║ ║
║ DRG : The actual ways in which of SIN's siteops got caught had nothing ║
║ to do with me. Random, the siteop of the SIN WHQ was disbanded ║
║ from being system administrator at his business in Mississipi as ║
║ our group filled up his 3 gigabyte HD, rendering no cache space ║
║ available for the server to use, as it was down for maintanence, ║
║ therefore crashing the system. The other system administrators ║
║ was there to resolve the problem and find the pirated material. ║
║ Random was then fired from his job instead of being imprisoned as ║
║ he earlier told me. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What about the fact that this was his Random's second bust? You ║
║ mentioned in RCN #16 that this was Random's second bust? Is there ║
║ some discrepancy in your story? ║
║ ║
║ DRG : The same thing happened before. His HD got filled. Ask anyone ║
║ who was in SIN at the time. He found out when he got to work the ║
║ next day, deleted the pirated software. The other system ║
║ administrator came, and blamed it on Random, as vital information ║
║ towards the business was to be stored on the site, and Random was ║
║ new there. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : That answer only covers how Random got busted. I've also been ║
║ informed that another SIN siteop, Nettwerk, was recently busted. ║
║ How was Nettwerk busted? ║
║ ║
║ DRG : Nettwerk, a new addition to our crew at SIN, was busted even ║
║ before his site was fully functional. Therefore his apprehension ║
║ had absolutely no connection to the site list I distributed to my ║
║ group. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : You have shown that the rumors started by Motiv8 against you might ║
║ just be rumors, but I want to know WHY Motiv8 would do such a ║
║ thing? What do they have to gain? It makes no sense that Motiv8 ║
║ would start rumors to say taht you are a narq, perhaps they are ║
║ not rumors? ║
║ ║
║ DRG : Rumors they are, I am not a narq. I have run and maintained 3 and ║
║ now 4 groups. The way I narqed was a list I sent off to my SIN ║
║ members a WEEK before joining Motiv8, which would render their ║
║ sayings as bullshit, for some of their siteops were with us. The ║
║ siteops and my former members can reference this. ║

║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : EndoKuken ║
║ Subject : RTN (Revolution) Affiliation : Revolution Leader ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : Many people know that Revolution is a group that specializes in ║
║ foreign software, why does Revolution specialize in releasing only ║
║ foreign software? Is it because Revolution has no suppliers that ║
║ can release US software? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : Well, Revolution is indeed a foreign release group and we do ║
║ specialize in Chinese/Japanese games. The reason I release these ║
║ games is because there are a lot of Chinese/Japanese people in the ║
║ scene that want such games. Since I'm Chinese, I am also able to ║
║ enjoy quality Chinese/Japanese games. As for suppliers that can ║
║ release US software, I do have a few of them. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I am crazy about a Japanese cartoon show called Sailor Moon, and I ║
║ also heard that there's a Sailor Moon Game and Screen Saver for ║
║ the PC. If you find either the Sailor Moon Game or the Sailor ║
║ Moon Screen Saver, make sure you release it. Anyway, if ║
║ Revolution specializes in releasing only Chinese/Japanese ║
║ software, how come I just saw you guys release a US utility? ║
║ Perhaps that was a fake release? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : No, that was not a fake release. Revolution does pull off some US ║
║ utilities faster than other groups because Revolution does have US ║
║ suppliers as I mentioned before. It is definitely not a fake ║
║ release, in fact, it was a $900 utility that I would never pay ║
║ that much for. As for the Sailor Moon PC Game and Screen Saver, I ║
║ am a big fan myself and recently purchased Sailor Moon Super Stars ║
║ for my Playstation. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Many people in the scene comment that releasing Chinese/Japanese ║
║ software is lame, and I even know some RiSC (Rise in Superior ║
║ Couriering) BBSes that nuke off foreign Chinese/Japanese software, ║
║ but do not nuke off software that come from other countries such ║
║ as France and Germany. Why do you feel that is the case? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : Hahahahaha, you're funny :). ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Thanks, but do answer the question. ║
║ ║
║ RTN : People can say what they want, it's their personal opinion and I ║
║ respect that. As for RiSC boards nuking foreign software, I don't ║
║ worry so much about. The releases still get out and even if ║
║ people didn't get it in time before they SysOps and SiteOps nuke ║
║ it, they can still come to me and ask for the releases. I'll be ║
║ more than happy to help them with that. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Have you ever encountered problems in the past where people would ║
║ just come up to you and say that Chinese/Japanese software is ║
║ lame, and that Revolution is lame for releasing them? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : I've had all these people come into channel #RTN and just start ║
║ bitching at me. People come up to me telling me how lame I am and ║
║ how lame Revolution is as a whole, but I just tell them to mind ║
║ their own business. Even though they still keep bugging me, ║
║ there's really nothing I can do about it, and I don't want to ║
║ kick-ban anyone for such a stupid reason. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Not all Chinese/Japanese games require that you know how to read ║
║ in a foreign language. There are some action games that could be ║
║ in Hieroglyphics, and the fact that it's in some weird language ║
║ does not effect the game play at all. When Revolution releases a ║
║ game, is there a way one can tell whether the game is purely ║
║ action, and thus does not require knowledge in a foreign language? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : That information is given in the NFO of the release, but if the ║
║ release is for DOS/V or WIN/V, then the game is most likely in ║
║ either Chinese or Japanese. I have yet to come across any ║
║ Chinese/Japanese action games which does not require knowledge of ║
║ a foreign language. When releasing a game, we do try to keep that ║
║ in mind, and thus, we focus more on RPGs and AVGs. AVGs are also ║
║ known to most people as Pornos. I personally like the RPGs, but ║
║ an AVG is nice every once in a while. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What does DOS/V and WIN/V stand for? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : DOS/V is DOS with Chinese/Japanese fonts. WIN/V is a background ║
║ program run in Windows 3.0+ which enables Chinese/Japanese fonts. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Does one need to have DOS/V and WIN/V in order to run a ║
║ Chinese/Japanese game? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : Not always, most of the games are meant for DOS and will soon be ║
║ optimized for Windows 95. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : There are only two groups I know of that specialize in ║
║ Chinese/Japanese software, Dragon and Revolution. Is there ║
║ animosity between the two groups since both groups compete in the ║
║ same type of releases? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : First of all, there are many more groups that specialize in ║
║ Chinese/Japanese software that have yet to get around on the ║
║ Internet. I have nothing against Dragon and they have nothing ║
║ against me (I think). I originally tried joining Dragon but I was ║
║ told they didn't want anymore suppliers. Members between the two ║
║ groups get along fairly well. I say that because I don't know ║
║ many Dragon members :). ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Is there a possibility that Revolution will be releasing more and ║
║ more US software in the future? What do you see happening to ║
║ Revolution in the future? ║
║ ║
║ RTN : Basically, I just want to share my Chinese/Japanese games with ║
║ other people who can understand and appreciate the anime graphics. ║
║ As for the US releases, I really am not sure, I'd have to talk it ║
║ over with my council, seniors, and suppliers. ║

║ Subject : CoRE Affiliation : CoRE Leader ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : How did CoRE start up? According to my sources, CoRE started out ║
║ when a merge between a few smaller courier groups took place, is ║
║ that true? ║
║ ║
║ COR : Actually, CoRE was formed a few weeks ago when the two courier ║
║ groups Total Kaos and Violation decided to merge. The two groups ║
║ talked it over a bit and thought it would be better to work ║
║ together. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why did Total Kaos and Violation decide to merge? When the did ║
║ the merge take place. Were all the members of Total Kaos and ║
║ Violation brought into CoRE? Were there any members that was cut ║
║ during the merging process? ║
║ ║
║ COR : Total Kaos and Violation had similar members and similar ║
║ principles. Stank-E and I agreed that we'd be better off together ║
║ than seperate. Almost all members from Violation came into CoRE ║
║ except for the President Venom and Senior Wildd. Venom and I ║
║ still have good relations because we are good friends. Wildd and ║
║ I get along fine and he is now heading up Sinful Traders. Some ║
║ members from Total Kaos were cut from the merge because they never ║
║ showed up. Cuts and things have been made to inactive members and ║
║ it seems we have a real working team now. I am quite happy. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Have there been any problems that resulted from the merge? ║
║ ║
║ COR : From what I have seen, the merge has been perfect. We did not ║
║ have fights or anything during the merge because it was all very ║
║ well planned out. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : It seems to me then that CoRE is a very organized group, I've ║
║ noticed a bunch of people messaging me to go into channel ║
║ #CoREFiles to offer, and they keep bugging me until I /ignore them ║
║ or actually join #CoREFiles. Why did CoRE start up channel ║
║ #CoREFiles, and why do your members keep bugging so many people to ║
║ offer in there? I just joined #CoREFiles about 2 minutes ago only ║
║ to find out that there were 2 people idling in there. ║
║ ║
║ COR : Thanks for letting me know, I will address this issue with the ║
║ rest of CoRE. CoRE's internet coordinator, Palm, is in charge of ║
║ the affairs of channel #CoREFiles. He is with Motiv8 and started ║
║ #CoREFiles. When he is not in #CoREFiles, the channel does not ║
║ run well. I feel if he wishes to keep the room up, he needs to ║
║ appoint a crew to work with. Also, bugging people to join isn't ║
║ right, people will join if they want to. I will address that ║
║ issue. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : CoRE's internet coordinator, Palm, is also a member of Motiv8, a ║
║ competitive courier group. Wouldn't he devote most of his time to ║
║ Motiv8's own offer channel, #M8leech, and not to #CoREFiles? ║
║ Isn't there a conflict of interest? ║
║ ║
║ COR : I don't involve myself with his personal devotions. He works well ║
║ for both groups. If he feels he can keep up both, then he's ║
║ welcome to be in both. He is a great member and CoRE is glad to ║
║ have him. His interests really do not matter, #M8leech is a much ║
║ bigger channel. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So I assume that all CoRE members are allowed to be in other ║
║ courier groups? What happens when a CoRE member gets an untagged ║
║ release, which courier group would he tag it for? ║
║ ║
║ COR : CoRE members are allowed to be in other groups as long as they ║
║ fulfill their duties as a CoRE member. Tagging for our group goes ║
║ as follows, if he gets the file from one of our affiliated release ║
║ groups, I expect the release to be tagged by CoRE. If both groups ║
║ have the same release from the same affiliated group, this may ║
║ cause a problem. I figure, I could talk with the other courier ║
║ group about solving that. I am a pretty nice guy and have good ║
║ ideas, so I think we could work out something. But hopefully, ║
║ this situation won't happen often. I see most of my members ║
║ devoting most of their time to CoRE. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What makes CoRE different from other courier groups? Why would ║
║ someone want to devote their time to CoRE when they could devote ║
║ their time for another group such as GODS or RiSC? Why would ║
║ someone want to join CoRE? What makes CoRE stand out from the ║
║ dozens of other courier groups? ║
║ ║
║ COR : I hope to think that we are beginning to make a name for ║
║ ourselves. I know that my members work very hard, and my whole ║
║ council works their asses off. One thing that makes CoRE ║
║ different is that I am not trying to rival any other group. This ║
║ sounds like major butt kissing, but both GODS and RiSC are well ║
║ respected groups. They do the same thing we do and I respect ║
║ that. We are all in the same boat here and it is pretty stupid to ║
║ be fighting. CoRE is for people who want to do their share of ║
║ work, talk to some people, have some fun and get stuff done at the ║
║ same time. This has worked so far, and I would like to emphasize ║
║ that the scene is *NOT* life and working in the scene is *NOT* a ║
║ real job. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Groups such as RiSC and GODS often provide their members with ║
║ cards and access to fast private FTP sites, is CoRE capable of ║
║ providing such things? If not, what does it provide for its ║
║ members? ║
║ ║
║ COR : We are on quite a few private FTP sites that is able to please the ║
║ needs of CoRE members. If they want other things, they ask and ║
║ they may receive. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : When Druggy was kicked out of Violation by the senior members, he ║
║ refused to leave. Why did he refuse to leave? ║
║ ║
║ COR : I don't really know, I wasn't there, I didn't vote or anything. I ║
║ was there when they kicked him out and the senior members yelled ║
║ at me to vote but I refused. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why did the senior members vote him out? Why did they even bring ║
║ up the issue of kicking him out of the group? ║
║ ║
║ COR : They told me that he was too strict. They called Druggy "The ║
║ Hitler of Warez, Upload or be Killed." I feel bad for Druggy. He ║
║ tries and tries hard. I wish him the best of luck in Cartel. ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ RCN : I've seen COPS (Couriers of Pirated Software) release both games ║
║ and utils here and there, why has COPS not taken the move to ║
║ specialize in one field of releasing, or has it already done so? ║
║ ║
║ END : COPS now specializes in utils only. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why have you decided to do so? ║
║ ║
║ END : Well, I feel that if a group releases anything that it can get its ║
║ hands on, it's really not a very professional group. But if you ║
║ release within a certain specialized area, such as utils, then it ║
║ makes the group seem more "professional". Another advantage of ║
║ only releasing utils is that I will be able to trade games for ║
║ utils with other groups, which would help make for good relations ║
║ with the rest of the scene. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So COPS trades it's games with other games groups? Has COPS ║
║ traded games for utils with other games groups yet? ║
║ ║
║ END : Well COPS hasn't exactly traded ANY games yet with any groups, but ║
║ we plan on trading games with other groups in the future if we get ║
║ a hold of some hot game releases. I plan to trade games for utils ║
║ with groups such as ROR (Release on Rampage) and Napalm. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Just a few weeks ago, I saw that COPS released Blake Stone : ║
║ Aliens of Gold, the files dated back to 1993, about the same time ║
║ Wolfenstein was first released to the public, why would groups ║
║ such as ROR and Napalm want to trade their utils with games by ║
║ COPS which have a reputation of low quality? Anyhow, ROR has ║
║ already promised to trade its utils and games strictly with ║
║ Mortality and not with COPS? ║
║ ║
║ END : Yes, I remember that release of Blake Stone : Aliens of Gold. ║
║ That was a BAD release and COPS apologizes for that, but we don't ║
║ intend to release anything like that in the future. It was a bad ║
║ call on my part. Well, if ROR has already made a decision on ║
║ trading utils for games only with Mortality, then that's fine. I ║
║ will find another group such as Napalm, and if COPS can't find any ║
║ other groups, then fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) will be our ║
║ next candidate. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Most Napalm suppliers are also in grousp such as DOD (Drink or ║
║ Die) and PWA (Pirates with Attitudes), and thus have to supply for ║
║ those groups, so saying that Napalm will help supply utils for ║
║ COPS is definitely out of the question. On the note of fATE, why ║
║ would you trade releases with fATE? fATE is a courier group, is ║
║ it not? ║
║ ║
║ END : Like I said, I will find some other groups to trade releases with ║
║ after consulting with my council. Those just happened to be the 2 ║
║ groups that I could name off the top of my head. fATE is official ║
║ couriers for COPS, and fATE does have a releasing section. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What are some of COPS best releases in the recent weeks? ║
║ ║
║ END : COPS has released great software such as Visual Object COBOL for ║
║ Windows 95/NT Beta 3 and WebManager for Win95 Beta v.1.1.3. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why are those releases all beta, would it be that COPS has ║
║ suppliers that work for those companies? ║
║ ║
║ END : You can say that. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : As an editor of RCN, I try to keep an unbiased opinion toward ║
║ groups. However, wherever I go, it seems to me that there is a ║
║ general consensus among to scene to look upon COPS as a really ║
║ "lame" group. The scene accuses COPS of releasing nothing but ║
║ dupes and shareware, why do you think that is so? ║
║ ║
║ END : Haha, well, as I learned from the latest issue of RCN (and I whole ║
║ heartedly agree), is that if you call someone "lame", that person ║
║ who call people lame is the person that is really lame. But, to ║
║ tell you the truth, we have only released 1 dupe and we have yet ║
║ to anything that can be considered shareware. I don't know where ║
║ they would get the idea that we release in those two categories, ║
║ because every group has their share of "dupes" but COPS has had ║
║ only 1, and the scene should give us credit on that. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : So you're saying that COPS has never released any shareware or ║
║ freeware, and that COPS has only duped once in its entire ║
║ existence? ║
║ ║
║ END : Yes, COPS has only duped once, and COPS has never released ║
║ shareware or freeware. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Do you lie often? Anyway, COPS is very fortunate to have fATE as ║
║ its official couriers, how did you acquire such a good standing ║
║ and respectable courier group to become officials with COPS? ║
║ ║
║ END : Well, MALiCE used to be official couriers for COPS, but then ║
║ MALiCE kicked COPS out, but before that happened, Doobie from fATE ║
║ was in close contact with me, and when MALiCE kicked COPS out, I ║
║ jumped on the chance to get fATE in as COPS' official couriers. ║
║ fATE has been doing a lot more than some of the courier groups ║
║ around, especially MALiCE, which I think is DEAD now. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Why did MALiCE kick COPS out as official couriers? ║
║ ║
║ END : The reason MALiCE kicked out COPS was because the council members ║
║ in MALiCE were REALLY poor with their members. There were fights ║
║ within the group all the time. I had repeatedly asked them to ║
║ support the COPS FTP sites, they merely ignored me. I got sick of ║
║ MALiCE and the MALiCE members got sick of the council and left. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : What do you see for the future of COPS? Do you see it becoming ║
║ one of the strong utils groups in the future? There's a quote ║
║ found in the COPS NFO, which goes as follows "Keep an eye on us, ║
║ cuz we are coming very strong, VERY strong, and we are ready to ║
║ tear it up and take all." Do you believe that COPS is indeed ║
║ becoming very strong, VERY strong? ║
║ ║
║ END : Yes, I think so. I think that COPS will become VERY strong. It ║
║ may take a couple of years, but I think that sooner or later, we ║
║ will be as good as groups such as DOD and PWA. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Don't you think that aspiring to be as good as DOD and PWA might ║
║ be impossible for a group such as COPS? After all, most people in ║
║ the scene are very stubborn, and most already have their heart set ║
║ to believing that COPS is very lame and only releases freeware and ║
║ shareware even when that might not be the case. Perhaps, it would ║
║ be easier for you to just kill COPS, and start a totally new ║
║ group? ║
║ ║
║ END : Hehe, like how you did to Legacy? I doubt it. Maybe it will be ║
║ impossible, but I am sure that we will have "some" impact on the ║
║ scene. When people COPS releases in the future, I am sure they ║
║ will come to change their minds. But then again, you never know ║
║ what will happen in the future. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Yes, that is true, but history does repeat itself. Anyway, ║
║ according to my sources, you also ran an e-mag called Horizons, ║
║ what happened to it? ║
║ ║
║ END : Yes, we were, but a lot of our Horizon writers weren't committed ║
║ enough and soon, the group died off. I see no reason to publish ║
║ an e-mag if RCN is in the scene. I think that you guys are the ║
║ best and that there should be no other e-mag. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I must admire your tenacity in running COPS, if I were running ║
║ COPS, I would have killed it off long ago, but you seem to be a ║
║ hard worker, what's your secret? ║
║ ║
║ END : COPS may not be the best group around, but we are sure as hell ║
║ trying to contribute whatever we can to the scene. And even ║
║ though we may not have the "best" people in our group, or "known" ║
║ people, there are a lot of new prospective members out their that ║
║ are willing to commit time and energy into a group, even if that ║
║ group may not be as good as DOD or PWA. When you come into our ║
║ IRC channel #C.O.P.S., you would hardly recognize anyone there. ║
║ That's because these members are the NEW batch of people coming ║
║ into the scene. ║
║ ║

║ Subject : GODS (Guild of Distributors) Meeting Log ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ The following is a logfile of GODS (Guild of Distributors) first ║
║ meeting in channel #Divine. The following contains material pertaining ║
║ to GODS, and their relationship with other courier groups such as RiSC ║
║ and Damage. GODS later comes up with the suggestion to steal some of ║
║ RiSC's fastest sites and boards, but will GODS succeed? ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <Lester> Ok, let's go. Quazimodem, speak :) ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> Quazimodem, start the meeting. ║
║ ║
║ <Quazimodm> Ahem. First of all, on behalf of the GODS staff, I want to ║
║ welcome all of you to the revival of the Guild of ║
║ Distributors. ║
║ ║
║ <TClaw> Oh yeah, before we start, who is logging? ║
║ ║
║ <Quazimodm> It is hard to believe that after being away from the scene ║
║ from what seems like ages, and after popping in my head ║
║ every once in a while to see how the scene is doing, I'd see ║
║ how things have changed. I type fast don't I? I see some ║
║ new, and some old and familiar faces. It's comforting to be ║
║ acknowledged after putting a lot of effort and sacrifice ║
║ (phonebills, phreaking, etc.) into the scene a couple years ║
║ ago. Anyway, a bit of history, I was not one of the ║
║ "founders" of GODS (at least technically I'm not). I was ║
║ running Quantum Traders. I was approached by the leaders of ║
║ a number of couriering groups at the time looking to merge. ║
║ It wasn't until I had a "meeting" with Slice&Dice where I ║
║ found out that a lot of how the two of us ran things were a ║
║ bit of the same. Quantum Traders merged with GODS in 1994 ║
║ and became of one of best and most recognized couriering ║
║ groups in the scene! One of the things I want to clarify ║
║ here is the "foundation" and philosophy of GODS. The ║
║ leaders, Slice&Dice and I, believed in what all couriering ║
║ groups believe and strive for, and that's being the fastest ║
║ in trading warez to all the boards, sites, etc. Our goal ║
║ was to put GODS on the map, that simple. But we wanted to ║
║ accomplish that by compiling the BEST, "cream of the crop" ║
║ traders and couriers that we could find, because we have ║
║ equaled the need to have QUALITY couriers and SPEED in ║
║ trading. Last week, one of our old traders who has been ║
║ very active in the scene, David & Goliath, found me on IRC ║
║ and approached me about the revival of GODS. Having been so ║
║ out of the scene, he had recapped me on the progress which ║
║ he, as well as some others, has taken upon themselves to ║
║ bring back the "Divine Power", the revival of GODS. I want ║
║ to commend David & Goliath for having the desire and ║
║ persistency to make this all happen. Finally, before ║
║ handing this over to David & Goliath or Lester, I want you ║
║ all to remember what GODS stood for. Consider yourselves a ║
║ part of history being in one of the best couriering groups ║
║ in the scene. No, GODS isn't OMNIPOTENT or OMNIPRESENT, ║
║ yet! But we will if we all pull together and strive to make ║
║ GODS 1996 rip the fucking scene up!! :) ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> Haha. ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> Woo good job :) ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> Okay, thanks Quazimodem. Dream Weaver, do you have anything ║
║ to add to that bro? ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> Hey Phil :). ║
║ ║
║ <DrmWeaver> I would, but I don't want to put too much of a damper on the ║
║ hype. But there are certain things we must consider. And ║
║ no, I don't type as fast as my old bro Quazimodem. I'm glad ║
║ to have been approached by both Quazimodem and David & ║
║ Goliath to follow up on a group I once belonged to. I think ║
║ that all I really want to do at this point is to take some ║
║ time and talk to all of you individually later on this week. ║
║ So for now, I think I will let David & Goliath procede. Hi ║
║ Lester. ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> Let's see, this is strong team. ║
║ ║
║ <DrmWeaver> Oh, sorry. My concerns are not bad. When I said "put a ║
║ damper" on things, I simply meant that these concerns could ║
║ wait for a bit and have nothing to do with present ║
║ happenings. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Did the meeting start? ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> Hold up Silent Mobius. ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> I think the main thing this group needs to do is to work work ║
║ well together, to stop fighting, and to have a peaceful ║
║ atmosphere. We are not forming this group to make RiSC, and ║
║ other groups look bad. We are doing it, to be #1 and that is ║
║ our purpose. We don't want to fight with RiSC or Everlast, or ║
║ to have competitions, but we do want to go out there and rock ║
║ the scene, i.e., rock the FTP sites and rock the boards. In ║
║ doing this, we want to make sure, that our own FTP sites and ║
║ boards remain very fast. It is our job to support them. We ║
║ have a great council, a great senior staff, and some great ║
║ coordinators. These are all people who have proved themselves ║
║ in the past. On paper, we have one of the most dangerous ║
║ teams. Now, we will just have to put it together, and ║
║ actually show everyone how good we really are. Some people ║
║ have come to me and Lester saying, "Hey, this senior staff is ║
║ too big, and it will be lame." Well, what I have learned ║
║ while being in the scene is that you cannot judge a book by ║
║ its cover. Sure, there have been lame groups with large ║
║ staffs, but there have also been succesfull groups like PWA ║
║ for example. There are so many leaders/seniors/and staff ║
║ members in PWA, and yet we all work great together most of the ║
║ time. So I think, that we need to pull our resources ║
║ together, get out there, and kick some ass. And we should ║
║ guess, we should just do it and not think that people will ║
║ think we are lame. If we go out there, and upload more than ║
║ anyone else, trust me, we will be anything but lame. We have ║
║ some kick ass FTP sites, some kick ass boards, and great ║
║ coordinators. ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> Well, I just want to point out who will be doing what more or ║
║ less, and what boards and FTP sites we have. First off, the ║
║ boards are WHQ = Malevolence, US HQ = Carnel Infatuation, ║
║ Courier HQ = Elusive Dreams. The other HQs are still open at ║
║ this time. FTP sites are easy enough, the WHQ = Air Castle, US ║
║ HQ = BBX, Euro HQ = CRC, Poobis, Bootknockers, Hackrats, Sub's ║
║ Site, Count Zero's site. Now, for you Internet traders. The ║
║ essential Internet coordinator will be MGD with Frost ║
║ supporting him. Gahn and Cryptic Pain along with Xwing ║
║ helping, will watch over the board traders. If you need ║
║ anything, you can first goto them or you can come to any one of ║
║ us and we'll solve your problems. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Who's next? Xwing, go ahead. ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> Silent Mobius, I can take it if no one's ready. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> Go Frost. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> Go Frosty. ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> I'm Frost from Digital. Basically, in Digital, we helped our ║
║ Internet traders with any problems they had with FTP sites, etc. ║
║ We babied their asses and taught them how to courier, but when ║
║ it came time for the NFO, we cut anyone that wasn't top ten or ║
║ part of the administration. I'd imagine it'll be the same here. ║
║ If you were let into our team, you've got to be good. I'll help ║
║ you as much as I can. I will teach you everything I know. MGD, ║
║ you're up. ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> The same goes for me, I will teach anyone who needs it. ║
║ ║
║ <dhunter> Do we have c00kie supplier? ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> Yes. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> For Internet traders, we have a "certain" amount of standards you ║
║ got to put up with. You have to be able to make top ten on BBX ║
║ weekly. We are here to beat RiSC so basically that is what I ║
║ expect of you. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> MGD, if there are 20 Internet couriers, how do you expect all of ║
║ them to make it to top 10 on BBX? ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> I know, we have to put the pressure on them. ║
║ ║
║ <Quazimodm> Correction message, we are here to be #1 and that's that. ║
║ ║
║ <dhunter> Good one MGD. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> Oh yea, Prozac will hopefully return soon. And for those of you ║
║ who want to get on bigger FTP sites like LA, CRC, Enigma, etc, the ║
║ way you get on those is sites is to earn your way up. Slowly but ║
║ surely, that is the point, I would get you all on at once. ║
║ ║
║ <dhunter> MGD, how are you going to add people to LA and Enigma? Those ║
║ are RiSC FTP sites. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Don't worry Dragon Hunter, let MGD go on. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> Dragon Hunter, we have connections. We're GODS. I would get you ║
║ all on at once, but that would overwhelm some of you. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> I can help since I know ECI and Stingray 6. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> RiSC will race you on anything over 5 disks in daylight time. ║
║ They have nothing better to do, trust me I know from expierience. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ONE AT A TIME... ║
║ ║
║ <dhunter> RiSC races every release no matter day or night. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> Shatter Star won't be trading for a while I think, he broke up ║
║ with his girlfriend and got really pissed, so he left RiSC, DOD, ║
║ and Napalm. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> Cruger is still around, so at night, he'll be doing some ║
║ couriering. ║
║ ║
║ *** S_Mobius changes topic to "This is getting unorganized, deop the ║
║ next person that speaks out of turn." ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> Let MGD speak. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> EVERYONE, message me your login, password, IP, and email address, ║
║ unless you were in Amnesia. Go Xwing. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> Some people were asking me about the boards in their area code ║
║ and whether they'll be in GODS or not. ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> Once Xwing finishes, Dream Weaver has something to say and then ║
║ we will do questions and answers. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> That will be decided within several days, but I think that most ║
║ of the boards you guys already upload to would not be dropped ║
║ and will stay with GODS so I'd assume you'll keep up with your ║
║ efforts of uploading to such boards. Also it will be helpful if ║
║ every BBS trader will specify their area code and email Gahn, ║
║ Cryptic Pain, or me. Email either [email protected] or ║
║ [email protected]. And one last thing, depending on the ║
║ performance, you'll be given leech access on better and faster ║
║ sites the more upload. ║
║ ║
║ <TClaw> Shit. ║
║ ║
║ <DrmWeaver> What I need to iterate here is, there have been problems ║
║ with people "dual grouping" and "I cannot make up my mind." ║
║ If one is to leave the group than that person is not allowed ║
║ to return to GODS. If you say on the channel, I'm fucking ║
║ pissed and I quit, and it is decided you quit, then you ║
║ quit. If you cannot hold your temper or get along and ║
║ maintain consistancy, the group cannot benefit from this. ║
║ If you want to join another group cause they can give you ║
║ CCs or whatever benefits, then go ahead. But please don't ║
║ expect a welcome back. I cannot think of one reason why you ║
║ would be allowed back. So excuses won't benefit you. So I ║
║ hope this is clear? ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> Alright, I know everyone is getting bored and tired of this, so ║
║ let's do some questions so you guys can talk. ║
║ ║
║ <TClaw> Oh, just in case anyone didn't think I was here. ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> Q&A time? ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> If you have a question, message me. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> Let's just do Q&A thing. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> This meeting wasn't well organized, but don't worry, it'll be ║
║ more organized next time. Sorry guys. ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> Silent Mobius holds the most organized meetings. Oh, if I may, ║
║ please don't go to the press with any of this. Let them talk to ║
║ the leaders. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> I have one last thing to say. First thing, we will not ║
║ compete with anyone as a group, if you want to compete, do it ║
║ individually. We aren't going to waste the group's time to ║
║ do it. And about uploading to sites, upload to our sites. I ║
║ don't give a dick shit about LA and Enigma. We have our own ║
║ sites, so why should we race RiSC and help THEM get the warez ║
║ faster? It's unsensible. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> Yeah, no RCN. ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> No RCN, no Defacto, no nothing. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> And about the big groups like PWA/DOD/MTY, most of their ║
║ leaders are already in GODS. What they should do is, instead ║
║ of having too many RiSC, Everlast, Motiv8, Empire, and lamers ║
║ inside the big time groups couriering,. we already KNOW that ║
║ GODS is one of the best, why not pick out GODS' couriers to ║
║ go join PWA, DOD, and MTY? I mean, if we let the other lame ║
║ RiSC, Everlast, Motiv8, and Empire dudes in, there is nothing ║
║ the leaders of PWA, DOD, and MTY can do to stop the groups ║
║ from getting the releases before GODS, because they are ║
║ couriers too. ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> If your asking us PWA, DOD, and MTY leaders to give releases to ║
║ GODS first and to pretag and what not. I cannot do that and I ║
║ assume that PWA and MTY feels the same way. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> ALL Internet couriers will get accounts on all our sites with ║
║ leech; anyone inside GODS, we already trust, so we know you ║
║ won't excessively leech. That rule may be changed to ratio. ║
║ But remember, if you want to upload, you have to have some ║
║ place to leech that's why. ║
║ ║
║ <dhunter> Pretagging is lame. ║
║ ║
║ <TClaw> I do not agree with pretagging, that's COPS crap. ║
║ ║
║ <DrmWeaver> I do not agree with RE-TAGGING either. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Lester, I know that, but what I meant is, let's say if the ║
║ entire DOD was filled with GODS couriers, who do you think ║
║ will get DOD releases first? GODS will. ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> I can't add GODS people for the hell of it. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Another thing, with internet couriers, remember, we have an ║
║ excess number of couriers, we will cut ANYONE at ANY time and ║
║ keep our sites full. The BBS coordinators should be able to ║
║ gather BBS people and make a list of who uploads where. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> Oh yea, POO's House is Courier HQ. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> And where should board couriers get their files? No, were ║
║ not putting them on Aircastle to slow down the speed. ║
║ Instead, we'll mirror some sites, and let some of the slower ║
║ sites become BBS sites and Internet couriers will make sure ║
║ those are fast as well. I already know that EVERYONE in GODS ║
║ is responsible for themselves; everyone was chosen for a ║
║ reason, just remember that. We didn't pick you up from the ║
║ streets; we saw some quality and initiative inside you. ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> Haha. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> I'm sure about 80% of GODS couriers could make RiSC, and that ║
║ is no joke, so so just keep that in mind. And look at RiSC, ║
║ everyone inside there has initiative. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> I couldn't make it in RiSC, they hate me. I got them to hate me. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> MGD, well there you go, I guess you're one of the 20% who ║
║ can't get in. ║
║ ║
║ <dhunter> MGD, they even ask me to join. ║
║ ║
║ <Frost> By the way, we have a little brother group, it'll be called ║
║ "Damage," don't piss on them. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Don't go bitching about other groups, do NOT start wars. ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> Ok guys, can we please move on to Q&A. I can only imagine how ║
║ bored the couriers are. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> I made that up, I just don't like a lot of the people in RiSC. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Ok. ║
║ ║
║ <Quazimodm> I would like to remind all of you that this is a meeting, ║
║ not a chat channel. ║
║ ║
║ <TClaw> I'm bored and i'm not a courier. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> Move on to Q&A, but remember, don't piss down on a small ║
║ group called Damage. ║
║ ║
║ <Xwing> People, if someone will be sneaking in to RiSC coordinators and ║
║ asking them to add you, you'll be out of GODS by default! ║
║ ║
║ <Lester> If you have a release you're spreading, and there are other ║
║ net couriers around, work as a team to get #1. Don't just hog ║
║ all your releases for yourself so you look good. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> The Internet coordinators, Frost and MGD, will have the site ║
║ lists. ║
║ ║
║ <Manowar> I'm pretty much in charge of updating the GODS nfo file. ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> Something has come to my attention, this has been something a ║
║ lot of couriers are receiving in msg form.. ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> <manhuntah> Why don't you join RAPIER? ║
║ ║
║ <DAVnGOL> If you see him messaging you again, tell me and I will take ║
║ care of it. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> I say we steal LA, Enigma, and Beyond Akira from RiSC. ║
║ ║
║ <NyteMyST> Rapier offered me senior courier position 20 times already. ║
║ ║
║ <S_Mobius> MGD, we'll never do it until we prove we are better. If RiSC ║
║ asks you to join, remember, you are going to be joining a ║
║ dying group. ║
║ ║
║ <MGD> They asked me twice. ║
║ ║

║ Subject : Rebel Chicken, Hitex, and Xenon BUSTED! ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ On the evening of June 13, 1996, Rebel Chicken, Hitex, and Xenon ║
║ were all busted in front of Rebel Chicken's residence. After attempting ║
║ to execute an event that they had planned for over a week, their scheme ║
║ went terribly wrong, and all hell seemed to have broken loose. ║
║ Moreover, the entire backbone of RCN was now in jeapordy. ║
║ ║
║ Rebel Chicken was about to graduate. He had a mere 4 hours of ║
║ school left before he could officially be labeled a freshman in college. ║
║ Girls were no longer on his mind, he had already given up on that. Now, ║
║ he was merely interested in conducting an event known as "The Senior ║
║ Prank." A senior prank is a collecting of a few seniors to coordinate ║
║ some sort of destructive activity on the school as a way of thanking the ║
║ administration for the caring and enlightening experience the students ║
║ were put through for 4 years, known as "High School." The plan was to ║
║ leave Rebel Chicken's house at 3:00 am, walk down the hill to Rebel's ║
║ school, and replace the United States flag with a Communist Russian ║
║ flag. This task would be performed by Rebel Chicken and his friend, ║
║ whom we'll call "John" while Xenon and Hitex were frantically cementing ║
║ toothpicks into the locks of the school as to inhibit entrance into the ║
║ classrooms the next day. ║
║ ║
║ The four of us departed, and we were now on a mission. Our first ║
║ obstacle was now met - there was a 24-hour security guard appointed to ║
║ protect the school. He spotted us, but we kept walking as to avoid ║
║ contact with him. We rounded the corner and made our way back into ║
║ Rebel's country club. We walked around for about 30 minutes, spotting ║
║ the guard every once in a while. Then, something caught our eyes. The ║
║ guard appeared to be making a shift switch with another guard. We ║
║ watched attentively until finally we noticed them assume their old ║
║ positions. So we were wrong. ║
║ ║
║ By now, it was nearing 4:00 am, and we were about to make our second ║
║ attempt at entrance into the school campus. Just as we cut the corner, ║
║ the lights of a police car shone in our faces. We looked at the car, ║
║ then at each other, and it seemed that symbiotically, we all thought ║
║ alike, and as quickly as we came, we dashed away, 4 bullets fleeing. ║
║ Through the brush, over the bushes, under the trees, we ran, until ║
║ finally we made our way to the street. Xenon, Rebel Chicken, and I, ║
║ were all "clean" except for the glue and toothpicks present in the ║
║ pockets of Xenon and myself. John, however, held the main weapon, the ║
║ communist flag. It's not every day that one sees a guy running around ║
║ with such a flag in this country, especially not at 4 in the morning, so ║
║ we assumed the police would find this a bit suspicious. As a result, we ║
║ all, in our scurry, decided that it would be to our benefit to keep the ║
║ cops from finding John. We made our way to the street and when finally ║
║ in pure visibility to the cops chasing behind us, the two cops ║
║ simultaneously yelled "OFFICER, STOP!" We knew what we had to do. ║
║ Rebel, Xenon, and I all stopped while John kept running. This, of ║
║ course, would create a big enough diversion for the policemen so that ║
║ John would manage to get away while we would get interrogated. ║
║ ║
║ So we stood there, a threesome, flashlights pointed at our faces, ║
║ and two officers, huffing and puffing from the run, in front of us. ║
║ "So, what was all that about?" questioned an officer. We paused, waited ║
║ for one of us to expel an answer, as Rebel Chicken heroically stated ║
║ "Um, we're just hangin' out!" "At 4 in the morning?" continued an ║
║ officer. "Sure <ehem> Why not?" our Chicken replied. "Well, do you ║
║ know that guy that got away?" "Who, that guy? Oh, pshaww, ehem, of ║
║ course we don't!! Hehehehehehe," we all replied. Unbelieving, the ║
║ officers found nothing to disprove our telling. We explained that all 3 ║
║ of us were just hanging out when we saw a guy with a big stick so we ║
║ curiously decided to chase him. So the officers took our names down, of ║
║ which we gave them fake ones, and the officers then decided that it ║
║ would be in their best interest to walk us home. ║
║ ║
║ So we proceeded up the hill to Rebel's house. We walked in, and the ║
║ officers requested to speak with Rebel's mom. Uh oh. We tried to talk ║
║ our way out of getting her down but the officers persisted. ║
║ ║
║ We got her down, and, well, I thought for a moment an atom bomb had ║
║ fallen on our roof. Let's just say it wasn't a pretty site. ║
║ Ultimately, we ended up being lectured for another hour by a frantic ║
║ mother, but we ended up okay. What makes me mad, though, is that three ║
║ guys in the scene, who should all know the law fairly well, could not ║
║ figure out that these officers didn't see us commit any crime, and ║
║ surely we could have said "There are no grounds by which you can request ║
║ that I call my mother out of bed at this time." But we didn't think of ║
║ it, and though it could have saved us much yelling, it was too late. ║
║ ║
║ So we got off easy, some of us, such as Dr. Jekyll, are not always ║
║ so lucky. But if this story should be a statement to any of us, it ║
║ should be one to show us that a cop is a very gullible species, and your ║
║ story is true until proven otherwise. So just because you might not ║
║ think that three half-sane guys would ever, bare-handedly, chase a guy ║
║ with a big stick, doesn't mean a cop wouldn't believe it. ║
║ ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ Early this week a new courier group was introduced into the broad ║
║ spectrum that already existed. It began a bit low-key, not much was ║
║ said about them, but apparently not much needed to be said, as they have ║
║ already made their way up the ranks. In under a week, we have a group ║
║ that is competitive for the #1 courier group spot. So, how did it ║
║ happen? ║
║ ║
║ Despite common knowledge, GODS (Guild of Distributors) was around ║
║ about two years ago and was quite a large courier group, posing great ║
║ competition for the legendary RiSC. Recently, RiSC has faced major ║
║ competition from a group called Everlast, but because Everlast's main ║
║ goal was not to beat RiSC, it isn't making too much of a presence for ║
║ itself. GODS, however, seems to be approaching this game with a ║
║ different attitude. Though not set out to kill RiSC, GODS is here to ║
║ pose some major competition for it, once again. Will it succeed? Well, ║
║ that question has already been partially answered. ║
║ ║
║ The initial reformation of GODS just one week ago was a result of ║
║ the Digital (DGT) downfall, and Amnesia (AMN) merging. The best of the ║
║ best from Digital were recruited into GODS, as well as the Amnesia team, ║
║ and then a few random couriers that have certainly proven themselves in ║
║ the scene. So to date, GODS is not official couriers for anybody, but ║
║ that has definitely not hindered them from tagging nearly 50% of the ║
║ warez out there. A recent look at Park Central, the RiSC World ║
║ Headquarters, and Malevolence, the GODS World Headquarters, vividly ║
║ shows the GODS presence in tagging and its omnipresence in the scene. ║
║ So though GODS is not yet officially couriering for anybody, it has more ║
║ than shown us how well it will be able to support the groups it does ║
║ courier for. ║
║ ║
║ So you want to contact GODS? Well GODS is currently an invite only ║
║ group, of course with the exception of those rare couriers that for some ║
║ reason were not invited but have more than enough to get in. So don't ║
║ bother applying. However, if you would like to get your name out to ║
║ some of the GODS staff, #GUILD on the IRC network will be the place to ║
║ go. #GUILD is the GODS public channel where they will conduct every-day ║
║ conversations. GODS, however, does reserve a private channel in which ║
║ they conduct meetings and really get down to business. This is just one ║
║ example of the organization that this group proves to contain. Many ║
║ courier groups were presented to us this year, and most wanted to become ║
║ #1, but the main problem that stopped them from achieving this goal was ║
║ a lack of organization. So far, this does not appear to be a problem ║
║ for GODS. ║
║ ║
║ A year ago, my area code was extremely active in the scene, and ║
║ though we lacked any REALLY BIG boards, we had plenty of the small ones ║
║ and all releases made their way over sooner or later (most often later). ║
║ During the year, as with all area codes, the BBSs in the area began to ║
║ quit, and we are now left with no more than 5 boards in the whole area. ║
║ We are, however, blessed to have one board that is being supported by ║
║ GODS in the area. The Lower Level, with its 8 nodes, has greatly picked ║
║ up activity this week, and it is amazing to see the motivation that this ║
║ group has brought to its members. Now, The Lower Level could easily be ║
║ compared in speed to many of the much bigger and more well-known boards ║
║ in the world. ║
║ ║
║ Yet as we know, the challenge is not in beating the other groups on ║
║ your own boards, but rather, beating them on their own boards! This is ║
║ surely the sign of superiority. RiSC got a total of 652 megs of uploads ║
║ to their WHQ, Park Central. However, GODS was close behind with 440 ║
║ megs. 200 Megs behind and on their first week. That's pretty ║
║ impressive! ║
║ ║
║ GODS has definitely shown their might this past week, and I have no ║
║ doubt in my mind that they will continue doing so in the weeks that ║
║ follow. Whether or not they will beat out RiSC or Everlast in the ║
║ long-term plans is a question we will all have, so we will all be ║
║ waiting to see the top uploaders stats this week and next with new ║
║ excitement. Good luck, GODS, and eat your Wheaties, you're up with the ║
║ big boys now!! ║
║ ║

║ As you can see, this isn't good. This is definitely not going to be ║
║ referred to as good news to any of the GODS members. However, it might ║
║ make them rethink their admission into the group. Throughout this messy ║
║ and confused conversation, we see many egos fly, and for future ║
║ reference, this could possibly be what will be looked at as what happens ║
║ when you go from new to #1 in one week. Was this inevitable? Was it ║
║ the fate of GODS (no pun intended) before it ever started? And, of ║
║ course, the most burning question on everybody's mind is, how will this ║
║ affect GODS in the future? Has it totally corrupted the group, or will ║
║ its leadership be able to survive it? It's hard to say. We just ║
║ witnessed the departure of a senior member and a member from the group. ║
║ Erupt quickly left right at the beginning of the incident, perhaps this ║
║ flame within him was already lit earlier in the week and this was just ║
║ the kicker? Slain, "Just a trader," left, but could this be an ║
║ indication to the future of the rest of the traders in the group? Only ║
║ time will tell, but fear not, RCN will be covering the story as it ║
║ unwinds. ║

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ A little background reference. Greg refers to Demaxxus. John is ║
║ Carnage, and Lucifers Fear is Nick. Tom James is an RCMP (Royal ║
║ Canadian Mounted Police - The Canadian equivalent of the FBI) officer ║
║ who busted Demaxxus later to release him on the basis of a lack of ║
║ evidence. This is a log, supplied by Lucifers Fear, of a chat between ║
║ Carnage and himself. They all live around each other, and, well, these ║
║ seem to be some of the smartest and bravest guys I've seen. They know ║
║ the law. They know it well. The RCMP is going to have to be a lot ║
║ smarter than they have been to even get CLOSE to touching these guys, ║
║ and, well, with a name like ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE, I'm not too ║
║ sure they'll be able to. ║
║ ║

║ Session Start : Mon Jun 10 15:11:34 1996 ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Yeah well, guess who came into our class today. Someone you ║
║ know.. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> And who might that just be? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Tom James. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> You're kidding me :)! How come this time and why? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> I'm serious he talked to us about how bad pirating is and how ║
║ long of a sentence you can get. He said he still has to investegate 4 ║
║ more houses. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> What a stupid fuck. :) ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> I know. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> He goes around to investigate people for like 1 or 2 pirated ║
║ files in BIG WAREZ TOWN THUNDER BAY!!! ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Hehehehehe... ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> I swear, he is a fucking joke. ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> I know. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> Did he say anything about Greg or me? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Yep. All he said were some of the people who got busted. But ║
║ he didn't mention Greg. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> He was talking about me AGAIN??? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Yep, and Geza a lot also. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> What exactly did he say about me and did anyone reply to his ║
║ comments about me? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> He said that he went to your house to bust you and didn't find ║
║ anything he was looking for, and said that you moved to Belleville. ║
║ Joel replied to his comments. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> What did Joel say afterwards? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> He said that you and Geza were the biggest loosers.. no ║
║ kidding. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> Joel is just a jew banker who eats doughnuts =) What did Tom ║
║ James say to Joel's comment? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Nothing, he just kept on talking about some people he busted ║
║ in BC. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> Was Heather around in the classroom at this time? When is fuck ║
║ nut Geza's next day in court? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> No, Heather wasn't in school and I think Geza goes back to ║
║ court on June 17. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> That's in 7 days eh? I haven't been called in yet either. ║
║ Think I will soon? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> You probably won't get called in. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> Hopefully NOT! Anything else what he talked about? Tell me ║
║ what Tom James said about Geza. ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Tom James talked about how Geza was gonna get charged 2 ║
║ million dollars and get minimum 10 years. He said that me, you, Hagus, ║
║ and Joel were on a list. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> ON A LIST? For what the fuck now? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> I don't know that's all he could tell us. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> My back yard is clean and empty, nothing here to prove. ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> I got tons now, but I'm going to get rid of it. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> What do you think he means by "on a list"? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> The people on his list are probably people he will call up to ║
║ testify. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> We aren't getting charged or anything, I already talked to a ║
║ police officer down here about the situation. ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Good, but I think Tom James is going to come to my house ║
║ because he still has to go to 4 more and he hasn't come to my house yet. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> Delete all disks or get rid of them, get rid of all warez. ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> I know I'm just gonna burn all my stuff to CD and hide them. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> Do you think you're going to get charged or anything like that? ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> No, but I think they are gonna come to my house. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> Probably, and in time. They have a habit of "taking their ║
║ time." ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Yeah. What about you? What do you think will happen to you? ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> I don't think they'll bother me again, or do you think he has ║
║ them tapping me down here? Think confident, if your backyard is clean ║
║ you are fine, no worries. ║
║ ║
║ <Carnage> Yeah, you're right. ║
║ ║
║ <LFear> Well, just be quiet and you'll be fine. Let the rest go down ║
║ around you, I gotta bolt dude. See you around John. ║

║ I would like to thank Lucifers Fear for submitting this log to us. ║
║ This will surely teach the other Canadian scene members a bit about the ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ Memory prices have finally started dropping, and it's about time. ║
║ While other PC components have gotten cheaper eacy year, RAM prices have ║
║ simply bounced around between $30 and $50 per megabytes for a few years ║
║ now, sometimes even going higher when demand for the chips was ║
║ particularly strong. How does this effect the people in the scene? ║
║ More and more games and utils released in the past few months require a ║
║ computer with at least 16 megabytes of RAM. As computer technology ║
║ progresses, the RAM requirements for software should increase as well. ║
║ ║
║ Part of the deal is that RAM chips use exotic technologies, and ║
║ manufacturers have to make huge quantities of a design to turn a profit, ║
║ so the six or seven major producers in the world haven't had to worry ║
║ much about competition from price-slashing upstarts. Most RAM chips are ║
║ also made by non-U.S. companies operating outside of the reach American ║
║ antitrust laws, and thus, help lower prices of RAM chips. ║
║ ║
║ And so the baseline spec for RAM keeps climbing, from 2 to 4 to 8 ║
║ megabytes over the past few years, and now 16 megabytes seems meremly ║
║ adequate for a new PC. It would be nice if we could trick programs into ║
║ thinking that our PCs had more RAM available, and that's the basic idea ║
║ behind virtual memory, a technique for swapping data that isn't needed ║
║ right away into a temporary file on the hard disk. Virtual memory has ║
║ been part of Microsoft Windows version 3.0, and the system has always ║
║ worked well enough, though naturally it only works for programs running ║
║ under Windows. ║
║ ║
║ The biggest drawback to virtual memory is its speed. Lots of ║
║ swapping slows a PC to a crawl, since hard disk drives are hundreds of ║
║ times slower than RAM. Utilities like Connectix Corporation's RAM ║
║ Doubler, Quarterdeck's MagnaRAM, and Syncronys Softcorp's SoftRAM use a ║
║ different approach to expand RAM without the speed penalty of virtual ║
║ memory, by using data compression. The idea of data compression should ║
║ be familiar by now, since it's behind about a dozen other technologies, ║
║ including full-motion video, modems, and file compression utilities like ║
║ PKZIP. RAM compression utilities claim to fit more data in memory by ║
║ compression program instructions and data whenever they aren't actually ║
║ being used. ║
║ ║
║ They all work within Windows memory management system, so again none ║
║ of these programs will help MS-DOS games. That could be a great problem ║
║ since most of games released are still optimized for MS-DOS. And none ║
║ of them is really a substitute for more actual RAM chips, but they can ║
║ produce real-world improvements in some circumstances - all of them ║
║ except one, it seems. Experienced crackers whom I'm affiliated with ║
║ have disassembled the code in SoftRAM and claim that the utility ║
║ couldn't work as advertised; that there's nothing in SoftRAM that even ║
║ vaguely resembles data compression code. ║
║ ║
║ Syncronys Softcorp has fooled the market and the scene by selling ║
║ possibly millions of copies of a program that doesn't even work. It's ║
║ one thing to see Napalm release a game that doesn't work, or to see DOD ║
║ release a util without a serial number, but it's totally outrageous to ║
║ see a company release a $99 program that doesn't do anything. To say ║
║ that it doesn't work and couldn't possibly work is a serious accusation, ║
║ and being suspicious by nature, I tried a simple test. After installing ║
║ SoftRAM (courtesy of PWA) on my laptop PC, an older 386 with 4megabytes ║
║ of RAM, Windows initially reported that I had an extra 4megabytes of ║
║ space available. But when I tried to repeatedly paste a 20,000-line ║
║ chunk of text file that I was editing, I actually ran out of memory ║
║ sooner with SoftRAM running than without. Since compression programs ║
║ like PIKZIP can shrink text to less than a third of its original size, ║
║ SoftRAM should have really shown its colors in this test, but I saw no ║
║ signs that it worked at all. ║
║ ║
║ But here's the part of the story that I find most amazing, I called ║
║ Syncronys to inform them of my little test, and they told me that a ║
║ research conducted by Dataquest found that 82% of SoftRAM users ║
║ experienced increase in computer speed. I hung up and I concluded that ║
║ SoftRAM is nothing more than "placebo software," and that seems fitting ║
║ enough for a program that reports itself to be working while not ║
║ actually doing anything. If nothing else, placebo software would be a ║
║ good justification of why piraters should not buy software. ║
║ ║
║ You might recall that disk compression utilities like Stacker and ║
║ DoubleSpace were very popular 3 or 4 years ago. But hard disk prices ║
║ have fallen through the floor and those utilities are just niche ║
║ products now, stopgaps that you might want to download or buy until your ║
║ next new system upgrade or disk upgrade. With the way that RAM prices ║
║ are dropping, RAM doubling software could meet the same fate as disk ║
║ compressors. There's really no substitute for actual physical memory, ║
║ and if RAM prices are low enough, there's no good reason to settle for a ║
║ crappy download, and there's definitely no reason to shell out $99 for ║
║ placebo software. ║
║ ║

║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ On June 7, 1996, I downloaded a Prestige release called Big Hurt ║
║ Baseball. I downloaded all 36 disks. The first file and the ninth file ║
║ ended up having corrupted ZIPs. So I went to another site and ║
║ redownloaded the two disks. So the first file was now fixed, but the ║
║ ninth was still damaged. Finally, I went to yet another site, and ║
║ ultimately all files worked. I decided to try and run the game. ║
║ Quickly, I found that the pitcher would never pitch. It was as if the ║
║ computer player was brain-dead. So after all the time I spent on ║
║ acquiring the game, it was worthless. I read the PSG.NFO. The person ║
║ who released it said he did the release in a rush. He was going on ║
║ vacation and just released it. I was on an FTP site and noticed a crack ║
║ released by Prestige. I decided to download the crack. I ran it, and ║
║ the pitcher still didn't work. ║
║ ║
║ It's little things like this that hurt the scene. A lot of people ║
║ are not as good with computers as me. It would have probably taken the ║
║ far longer than it took me to figure out that it was a broken release. ║
║ It is thus of extreme importance that every group test its releases ║
║ before releasing them. A lot of the stuff that is going around is junk. ║
║ It doesn't work. Why should couriers have to spend valuable time ║
║ couriering software that doesn't even work? People often complain to ║
║ the couriers saying they should test the software before they upload it ║
║ to a major board, but we must look at it from their perspective as well. ║
║ Couriers want to get on the top uploader lists, but if they have to ║
║ censor what they can upload, it is inevitable that their competition ║
║ will just upload the file instead, and they will lose out. What CAN be ║
║ blamed on the couriers is the broken ZIP files. A courier has the ║
║ responsibility of transfering the files he gets in the exact form that ║
║ he gets them, and it is always his responsibility to test all the ║
║ archives he gets to make sure that all the transfers came through ║
║ properly. ║
║ ║
║ A while ago Napalm released a game by the name of A10-Tank Killer. ║
║ I downloaded it, and, interested in actually playing it, I joined ║
║ #Napalm requesting keyboard controls for it, as they were not included ║
║ in the packaging of the game. I also announced to them that I was ║
║ interested in supplying for their group. They agreed and warned me that ║
║ I have to supply at least one release per month. I agreed on the ║
║ condition that they give me a text file containing the keyboard controls ║
║ to their release. The game was one about a bomber plane, and I didn't ║
║ know how to drop the bombs. We conversed for a while, and ultimately ║
║ after much rudeness on their part, they came to the conclusion that I ║
║ was not going to get the text file because I put a condition on it that ║
║ I would only supply if they gave it to me. I soon found myself ║
║ kick-banned. This is something I always disliked about Napalm, but I ║
║ wonder why they would dislike me for it. It seems sometimes that to get ║
║ a Napalm release to fully work, even if it was properly cracked, you ║
║ actually have to buy the game! ║
║ ║
║ I ended up contacting Sierra, they informed me that to drop bombs, ║
║ you press enter when you have a target in sight. As far as Prestige ║
║ goes, I would like to congratulate them, as that is their only release ║
║ that didn't pitch. These are all the cold facts of the scene today. ║
║ Groups need to pay more attention to what they do, be it courier ║
║ properly, or release completely. A courier needs to take responsibility ║
║ for his job and his job only, but a releaser needs to make sure that the ║
║ end user gets not only a properly working game, but one that he will ║
║ know how to use. ║

║ Subject : Choosing a Nickname ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ Join any IRC channel today and you're bound to find some of the ║
║ weirdest nicknames around. Let's take RCN for an example. Today, I ║
║ joined #RCN and saw the following striking names : Endokuken, Spy of ║
║ Quartex, Rebel Chicken, and a few more. Endokuken? Now tell me, where ║
║ in the hell does a guy come up with a name like that? Maybe it means ║
║ something in another language that I'm not familiar with, but it seems ║
║ pretty random to me. Is that bad? Of course not! In fact, Endokuken ║
║ is Hitex's favorite nickname. Whenever he sees the guy around, he can't ║
║ help but yell "ENDOKUKEN ENOKUKEN ENDOKUKEN!!" Spy of Quartex? Maybe he ║
║ got it out of a movie? Rebel Chicken? No comment. ║
║ ║
║ So, when you're out choosing a name, for any reason -- maybe you're ║
║ new to the scene, maybe you did something bad and hope that if you ║
║ change your name, nobody will recognize you -- either way, you should ║
║ take the following steps first. ║
║ ║
║ 1.) Think about your interests. You don't want to pick the name ║
║ Rebel Chicken if you're a vegetarian, for example. ║
║ ║
║ 2.) Look through the science book, or any other book that could ║
║ contain weird cool words in it. The dictionary often works, ║
║ too, but be forewarned, CHECK THE DEFINITION. Research books ║
║ tend to have words that sound cool but ones that you wouldn't ║
║ exactly want to be represented by. ║
║ ║
║ 3.) Combine words that have to do with your life. But again, be ║
║ forewarned. This step majorly depends on who you are and how ║
║ you want to portray yourself. For example, if our Rebel Chicken ║
║ were to go by this step, he would probably have chosen a name ║
║ like "Never Touched a Girl," but he thought it wiser to portray ║
║ himself as a chicken gone bad. ║
║ ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ I decided to venture out and interview a few people about how and ║
║ why they chose their nicks. The following are the interviews : ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <RCN> How did you think of your nickname? ║
║ ║
║ <Oxygen> It just sort of popped in my head. My nick sounds better then ║
║ Hydroboy or Atomman. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> What do you mean "popped in your head?" Do you, by nature, ║
║ constantly think of Oxygen??? ║
║ ║
║ <Oxygen> Well, to be honest, I thought of it like this. A name has to ║
║ mean something. I was new to the scene and prefered not to have some ║
║ lame nickname. So I thought of one thing we all can't live without. ║
║ The one thing we all need. Oxygen!! No one else would ever think of it ║
║ that way, I knew that, but it's unique, so it works! By the way, they ║
║ call me "Oxy" for short :-). ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <RCN> How did you think up your nick? ║
║ ║
║ <RoadRebel> A friend gave it to me 16 years ago. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> Why? ║
║ ║
║ <RoadRebel> Hmmm no, make it like 12 years ago, it was because of a car ║
║ I drove called a rebel, and people thought it was a road runner, thus ║
║ Road Rebel. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> A car called rebel?? ║
║ ║
║ <RoadRebel> Yes, I had a '67 rebel and my sister had a 68. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> What's a rebel car? ║
║ ║
║ <RoadRebel> It was a car made in the 60's called a rebel, I wish I still ║
║ owned it now. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <RCN> How did you get your nick? ║
║ ║
║ <KoKiS> Long story.. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> Go ahead! ║
║ ║
║ <KoKiS> I'm from a conuntry where cocaine is a "cheap" thing and when I ║
║ moved over to Sweden a friend of mine called me KokainSmuglaren. His ║
║ girlfriend and I got to be friends and she started to call me KoKiS. To ║
║ this day, they still call me KokainSmuglaren. So KoKiS is short for ║
║ that. There was a thing about it just as I got the nickname. The ║
║ newspapers had articles about the rise in cocaine abuse and at the same ║
║ time, the rise in warez. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <RCN> How did you get your nick? ║
║ ║
║ <DarkSoul> I don't know. I just made it up. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> What made you come up with it?! ║
║ ║
║ <DarkSoul> I just said, "Hey, DarkSoul sounds cool, so I used it =])!" ║
║ I thought of the name after I named my board (off of something on TV). ║
║ It was called Armageddon BBS. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> Sure, but people don't just go walking around thinking DarkSoul ║
║ for no reason! If they are, they're mentally twisted! ║
║ ║
║ <DarkSoul> Armageddon, Darksoul, sounded good together! ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> What do you mean sounded good together? There must have been ║
║ something that made you think of DarkSoul besides Armageddon. That has ║
║ nothing to do with DarkSoul! ║
║ ║
║ <DarkSoul> Don't ask me. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> You choosed the nick not me. Just answer. Why the hell did you ║
║ pick and how did you pick DarkSouL ║
║ ║
║ <DarkSoul> I just DID! ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> Cause it doesn't taste like apples? ║
║ ║
║ <DarkSoul> I've had this nick (since I started doing bbs shit) for about ║
║ 2 years now. That's all you're getting. ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> Fine, if you're not going to cooperate then this interview has ║
║ ended. ║
║ ║
║ <DarkSoul> What was this interview for???? You never even told me! ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> I am not supposed to tell you it takes the fun out of it. ║
║ ║
║ <DarkSoul> Now you know why I'm not answering =). You want the truth? ║
║ I really don't know how or why I picked this nickname. It's been 2 ║
║ years and I don't remember. That's the goddamn fuckin' truth! ║
║ ║
║ <RCN> Fine then! ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ I hope this article helped you out in anyway of improving your nicks ║
║ or even just making your nicks in the first place. Oh, and remember, ║
║ the nicknames portrayed in this article are not necessarily ones that ║
║ will get you far in the scene, and finally, there's more to a person ║
║ behind his name, and a cool name isn't going to cut it if the person ║
║ behind it isn't. ║

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

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

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

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

║ ║
║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║
║ Here I will be reviewing the 5 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. ║

║ ingenuity, versatility, and a lot of other words ending in `ity'. These ║
║ games are based on what happens on MY COMPUTER ONLY, unless stated ║

║ Back to Baghdad (c) Military Sim. 23/23 ║
║ ║
║ This game was the biggest bitch ever to install, not because it was ║
║ complic- ated or anything, but because it took fucking forever. First ║
║ you unarj it, and there's about 1000 small .bmp files which make the arj ║
║ take like around 15 minutes, then you have to edit the .cfg and .bat ║
║ files, and the bat files have like a million lines referring to the dir. ║
║ Then you go to load the game up, and it takes about 10 minutes for it to ║
║ load the terrain and stuff. And after that it just continues to swirl ║
║ my hd around in circles as it loads and loads. It just kept loading, I ║
║ went and took a shower, a nap, dinner, etc, while it was loading. Then ║
║ I came back to find it had stopped loading but had locked up. I was ║
║ able to see the game <just not play it> from one of the points of ║
║ loading up. My rating on this game is just a total guess since I was ║
║ not able to play it. If you even plan to take a shot at this, I'd ║
║ HIGHLY suggest you have at least a pent/133, or you'll wait forever. ║
║ ║
║ RATING : 57/100 ║

║ manuever it without hitting any book shelves, other airplanes, bouncing ║

║ and you need to fly from one to the other. Not too amusing, in fact ║

║ ask me, I wouldn't think it's such great idea for you to put a link to ║

║ ║
║ There's a 41 disk release, but I'm missing a small piece. ║
║ There's a beta just a waitin', for me to do the testin'. ║
║ I downloaded 40 disks and realized there's one I missed.... ║
║ DISK 24 WHERE ARE YOU!?!?. ║
║ ║
║ But then after searching far and wide, <actually it took about 2 ║
║ mins> I was able to find the missing disk 24. After I spanked #24, I ║
║ unzipped it and well, here's the review: This is the beta version of ║
║ this MK like game. The previous release was just a playable preview. ║
║ This one still is a little buggy, but Demolition released a patch to fix ║
║ some things. It's got a lot of cool things, and the graphics are good. ║
║ But the movement of the characters just has something about it that ║
║ makes you just not like it. Also you'll need a pent/100+ to play this ║
║ at a decent speed. Pray for Death isn't going to be the next great ║
║ fighting game, but it might entertain a select few. If you do make the ║
║ effort to get it, might as well get the patch to, it lets you play ║
║ certain modes, and also let's you see the character's stats and stuff, ║
║ even though there is no animation of them. ║

║ Look out! PMS at it's peak! It's Mortal Kombat style fighting, but ║
║ this time, the women outnumber the men 10-0. It's a very good game, if ║
║ you got the power to back it up. First off, don't even try to run it in ║
║ win3.1, unless you got a p/166 and a shitload of ram. Because if you ║
║ do, you'll be playing it in a window about the size of your pinky nail. ║
║ Ok music and sound effects, but much better graphics. You have a nice ║
║ choice of women with great bods to show off <especially the bottom right ║
║ one>. There are 6 move you have, each character with it's own moves. ║
║ It's worth getting if you have a really fast computer, otherwise don't ║
║ bother. Perfect gift for father's day! ║

║ Here is the dos version of this acclaimed flight simulator. (It was ║
║ acclaimed as being a flight sim <G>). Welp once again, another one of ║
║ those sim games with no docs, no key setup, and no way of getting the ║
║ fucking plane off the ground. I slammed every key, I slammed every ║
║ fucking possible combination of keys, and the fucking plane didn't move ║
║ an inch. Sure, I can view it from fifty thousand angles, but I can't ║
║ make it move! Anyway, it looked like a pretty basic and plain ║
║ simulator. The usual bland colors of line'ish gfx. Not too great, some ║
║ docs would be helpfull. ║

║ The card flipping noise, the only sound in the entire game I think, is ║

║ ║
║ This week I got shitty letters for Dear RR. So, instead of ║
║ responding to crap, I will just write my own opinions. As most of you ║
║ know, I like to share my opinions freely with the whole IRC. Okay, last ║
║ week's topic was Gays on IRC. I have seen SOOO many fights about this ║
║ shit in #RCN and other channels that it's become a joke. It isn't like ║
║ a fag is looking at your ass on IRC, they can't see you, they can't ║
║ touch you, they can't suck you off (although I'm sure some of you ║
║ wouldn't mind). ║
║ ║
║ So do some big people get so pissed!? Could it be that they are ║
║ jealous and just crave a big hairy stinky butt to poke? Or they are ║
║ actually penis puffers themselves in the closet? Are they fighting back ║
║ so hard so that people won't think they're gay? While some of this may ║
║ be true (and picking on the fag channels is fun) the need to argue about ║
║ this in a channel that has nothing to do with it is a joke. It seems to ║
║ me that the Pillow Biters stay in their own channels, and don't bother ║
║ ANYONE but themselves. This segregation seems to work nicely. ║
║ ║
║ I guess the point is, if you don't like them leave them alone. It's ║
║ a lot like bees, if you don't fuck with them, they won't try to sting ║
║ ya! And to those that are hiding their feelings behind a guise of ║
║ Machoism and playing the IRC tough guy, well, 2 people came out in the ║
║ last issue of RCN. I can't name names but, their initials are _GK_ and ║
║ PN, they are free now, and have no problems with their sexuality. ║
║ Hihihihihi! So that's it for this week! ║
║ ║
║ *PS* GK & PN asked for what you will be seeing next, so enjoy. ║

║ ║
║ Next Week's Topic : How does one know when he is elite? ║
║ ║
║ It seems that the scene as a whole is extremely confused about this ║
║ touchy subject, and since we all seem to be so scared of being called a ║
║ "lamer," maybe it would help if we knew what "elite" was supposed to ║
║ mean. It used to be that the word elite was just a designation for ║
║ warez, such as an "elite board" would be a regular warez board, good or ║
║ not. So e-mail me and tell me what YOU think elite is. ║

║ The following details your forecasts depending on your astrological ║
║ sign. Each sign designates your personal lucky numbers of the week. ║
║ The following specific areas of focus include those of love and warez : ║
║ ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ Forecast for the week : The pressure is off as Mars transits into fun ║
║ seeking Gemini. It's not a time to slack, make changes instead. ║
║ Compete in a different realm, try your hand at another art, you may find ║
║ a new calling in the scene. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <Aquarius> (January 20 to Feb 18) : You've found it! The one warez ║
║ package you've personally wanted for a long time, it may be ║
║ larger than expected but who cares! Grab a drink, go outside ║
║ and relax while it downloads. ║
║ ║
║ <Pisces> (February 19 to March 20) : You finally finish a task that you ║
║ volunteered for and now can relax, though you were stressed out ║
║ all night and had to get it done in just a few days, it pays ║
║ off, while it may not be the best, you worked hard on it, and ║
║ it will only get better from here on out. ║
║ ║
║ <Aries> (March 21 to April 19) : You have a way of motivating others in ║
║ your group, and those around you. News comes from a close ║
║ friend that may bring current projects to a halt. Stick to it, ║
║ and ride it out, you may be able to pull it off. ║
║ ║
║ <Taurus> (April 20 to May 20) : A hated enemy strikes a heavy blow, and ║
║ a self-absorbed leader of yours gets cranky. While things ║
║ around you look bleak, turn to the ones that matter, your ║
║ friends, while they are not the most popular, they will be ║
║ there for you. ║
║ ║
║ <Gemini> (May 21 to June 21) : An associate pays back a long time favor, ║
║ with an added bonus. Fight the urge to give up on your ║
║ projects unless you truly feel it is not giving you any ║
║ satisfaction. The help you have offered a new person leaves ║
║ you with a sense of accomplishment, you have aided someone in ║
║ need, and they will pay you back even if you feel it is not ║
║ needed. ║
║ ║
║ <Cancer> (June 22 to July 22) : An uncommon chat with a person of power ║
║ leaves you with a feeling of respect for him, you have computer ║
║ trouble, OS acting up again, you decide to find a replacement, ║
║ in the form of several files with a stupid code name for them. ║
║ ║
║ <Leo> (July 23 to August 22) : A friend nearby is destined to be your ║
║ new partner, and in other areas of interest the ball starts ║
║ rolling, look for new and exciting things to be happening soon, ║
║ and make plans to be there to receive them. ║
║ ║
║ <Virgo> (August 23 to September 22) : Expect a generous offer for your ║
║ skills in the very near future. Your hard work pays off, and ║
║ you may make it big if you play your cards right. Look for an ║
║ opening in a position you have wanted for a long time now, and ║
║ go for it. ║
║ ║
║ <Libra> (September 23 to October 23) : You actually get outdoors this ║
║ week, away from the computer and away from you room. Enjoy it, ║
║ and when you get back, you'll find your work easier to deal with ║
║ if you take more time to get out more often. ║
║ ║
║ <Scorpio> (October 24 to November 21) : A material sign of prosperity is ║
║ now affordable to you. You impress the people around you with ║
║ your dedication. You become deeply involved in how stupid the ║
║ word "cybersex" sounds and vow to blow up any such sites in ║
║ the near future. ║
║ ║
║ <Sagittarius> (November 22 to December 21) : You cheer a friend up by ║
║ inviting him or her to join in a close group of yourself ║
║ and allies, give a second chance to a person you thought ║
║ was lame. A group effort won't fly without your talent ║
║ and input, so give it your best. ║
║ ║
║ <Capricorn> (December 22 to January 19) : You gain the advantage in an ║
║ important deal and should act quickly, though be cautious it ║
║ may cause your friends to become in danger. Your modesty ║
║ and hard work is noted and appreciated for once. ║

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

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

║ Author : Hitex ║
║ Subject : Chicken-Watch : Part Trois ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ So I thought last week's Chicken-Watch would be the last. I had ║
║ finally decided it was truly 100% hopeless this time. Well, I was ║
║ right. So I was going through my hard drive last night deleting all the ║
║ crap I didn't need any more when I made my way to the Telemate Edit ║
║ directory. For those of you that don't know, Telemate is a ║
║ communications program that has a built-in notepad like thing so you can ║
║ jot down notes to yourself while online. Very useful when you have 30 ║
║ people messaging you and you don't know who's who so you write down ║
║ notes in there. Well I save little things in there, in the Edit ║
║ directory, and once a month I sift through it and delete the crap I ║
║ don't need. ║
║ ║
║ So I was viewing each file separately to make sure I reallly didn't ║
║ need it when I made my way to a "letter.txt." Out of instinct, I ║
║ assumed it was probably some reader mail regarding RCN, so when I read ║
║ the first few lines : ║
║ ║
║ "Okay, I lied, I did kinda write what I said earlier :) That's ║
║ because I thought (knew) that if I didn't, I'd probably stutter and make ║
║ myself look stupid :(. Here's what I said (or tried to say) - in Email ║
║ format;" ║
║ ║
║ I was just a tad confused to say the least. I decided to read on, ║
║ perhaps the next few lines would reveal a bit more : ║
║ ║
║ "When I see you at school, I see a kind and generous person. You're ║
║ especially pretty when you give one of your pretty smiles :) ..." ║
║ ║
║ And that was the kicker. OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! Hah, now I ║
║ remembered! Yes, it was about a month ago, I was at Xenon's house, we ║
║ were working on some coding for RCN, when we got a call from the ║
║ legendary Rebel Chicken. Of course, I asked him, much like I always did ║
║ at the beginning of a conversation, about the girl situation (or lack ║
║ thereof). He told me of a new revelation in the story. Apparently he ║
║ had just gotten Emily's AOL (give her a break, you can't bitch at a girl ║
║ that Rebel likes for having AOL, I don't know why, but you just can't!) ║
║ address and decided to email her. So I asked him what he said to her, ║
║ and of course, he had the whole thing saved in his saved-messages ║
║ folder. I told him to read it to me, and I guess he heard some clicking ║
║ in the background so he assumed I was typing what he was saying. ║
║ ║
║ He quickly yelled at me to quit typing it, but I said "Wha? Oh, ║
║ that's not me, it's Xenon coding!!!" Heh, he bought it. But of course, ║
║ he reads a little faster than I type, so I told him "Wait! I'm gonna ║
║ say whatever you say twice so that Xenon can hear it too!" Heh, ║
║ meanwhile I was frantically typing into my edit window. When I would ║
║ get too far behind, I would tell him "Hold on, Xenon's mom is talking, I ║
║ can't hear!" So here, read on. This is young love in progress!!! ║
║ ║
║ "But I haven't seen you smile much lately :(. I see you here and ║
║ then, but you always seem kinda unhappy :(... Well, I don't know why ║
║ you're sad.. :(, but my guess is that there are people out there who ║
║ don't appreciate you. That might be true, and if it is, then those ║
║ people who don't appreciate you are just some of the most ignorant ║
║ people around. ║
║ ║
║ I hope what I say makes sense to you :) may be it'll help make you ║
║ feel better :). By the way, my email thing snail mails, it might make ║
║ it to your account just a tiny little late :(. I'll see you tomorrow at ║
║ school :) - AND, be happy :) you're too nice of a person to have to feel ║
║ sad!" ║
║ ║
║ BAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAH! Damn, I'll never forget that day. Check out ║
║ all those :( and :)'s!!! I guess we know what Rebel Chicken does when ║
║ he's nervous. Anyway, I don't know about you, but I thought that was a ║
║ pretty sweet letter, and though he makes it totally obvious that he's ║
║ never talked to a girl in his life, it's kind of cute and maybe the ║
║ girls could dig it. So you ask the outcome of this? Well, fear not, ║
║ the letter didn't lead to any sort of relationship, read past issues of ║
║ RCN and Chicken-Watch to find out what happened to Rebel and Emily. ║
║ Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this issue of Chicken-Watch, and, though I ║
║ don't THINK there's any more to say, our Chicken always finds SOMETHING ║
║ to make us laugh. ║
