As of today, January 6th, 1990, we are no longer affiliated with the
cracking group INC.
The main reason behind our decision to leave INC is the irresponsible
leadership of one of the co-presidents, Line Noise. Recently, he decided to
post a list of new releases from INC on my board which included The
Colonel's Bequest, Rambo III, and Starflight II. The first part of the
message read, "INC is hot!" Over the next couple of days, he proceeded to
upload to The Mad Scientist two of these games UNCRACKED saying that other
people in the group were having trouble cracking them, could he please take
a look at them. After receiving them, Mad had very little time to do much
of anything in the way of cracking. With what time he had, he worked on The
Colonel's Bequest. When he was just about done, another cracker in the
group, R. Bubba Magillicutty, released it cracked. We have no problem with
that, but he wouldn't have been working on it in his limited time if he had
known that another good cracker in the group was working on it.
We then just learned today that Line Noise had been promising the
release of Rambo III to the general public. The Fang, who downloaded the
FiRM version from The Laboratory to test it, read us Lord Blix's pointed
message in the INFOFIRM file. Line Noise was telling them that Mad was
going to release it since he gave him the uncracked game and kept checking
The Laboratory daily to see if there were any new files in the INC Releases
area. Mad left him mail that he wouldn't be able to work on it for a while -
he's been running his board remotely from a Macintosh hooked up to a 1200
baud modem for about a week. This apparently didn't bother Line Noise, so
he kept telling the public that it was going to be released. We understand
the message from Lord Blix in this case - "Learn how to crack before you
learn how to brag." Our basic problem in this entire thing is that Line
Noise has been promising wonderful things from a "rebuilt" INC when there's
no way we could deliver. The "rebirth" of INC is also questionable. Very
little has been released since he began announcing that INC was back in a
big way.
Our other major problem with Line Noise is his constant power trip.
Ever since a group of people broke off from INC a few months ago, he has
been determined to take sole leadership of the group from the other co-
presidents, The Realm Keeper, and JT. The other day, he "stole" a good part
of the group UNiON and had them join INC. He didn't even bother to consult
with the other presidents, who would have vetoed this maneuver due to the
utter lameness of the new recruits. JT found out about the whole thing when
Mad told him a day later that INC was now bigger and lamer. In a
conversation with Line Noise, Mad found out exactly how power-hungry he was.
Back in his MCM days, he said, Jenetic Bytemare made an offer to him to have
his group join PTL. As you probably know, PTL was almost the ONLY group
around at that time. They were practically the only group that was
releasing anything at all. MCM had a couple of good cracks, but nothing
exciting. Line Noise refused to merge with PTL because he, "didn't want to
be under anyone." Later, when MCM, NYC, and ECA merged to form INC, he
remained as a co-president, so there was no problem there. Recently, he's
been taking actions as if he were the only president of the group without
consulting any of the other presidents. This is irresponsible and
potentially disastrous, as it probably was with the UNiON merger.
Another example of his quest for more and more power / eliteness
occurred when INC decided to do away with having four homeboards and to turn
everything into a distribution site. After The Realm Keeper posted on his
board this information, he was surprised to see Line Noise's board now held
the title "Home of INC". It seems that Line Noise decided to make himself
the sole homeboard AND president. He must have thought that this would
improve his image with other people, but it apparently didn't help within
INC.
We don't want to be part of any group with a president, or co-
president acting as sole president, who acts as irresponsibly as Line Noise
has. It's a tribute to INC that it has survived so long under this type of
leadership, and we hope that it continues to prosper without us and whoever
else leaves at this time.
What we've decided to do is to re-form the original NYC as it was
before we merged with MCM and ECA many months ago.
The Realm Keeper: President
The Mad Scientist: Cracker
JT: Cracker
The Fang: Junior Woodchuck Cracker / Tech Support
Iceman: Supplier
The two NYC boards will be The Adventurer's Guild and The Laboratory. TAG
will be the homeboard and The Laboratory will be a distribution site.
