β β
β I am writing this to say a few words about RCN and how people treat β
β us. First of all, when you see an article that rips on someone or a β
β group, and you don't like it. Take it up with the author!!! If it β
β isn't written by Rebel Chicken, Hitex or I then don't nag us about it! β
β Also, if you have a problem with something written about you or a group, β
β WRITE A REBUTTLE! Don't sit there and bitch at us in the channel, it β
β doesn't do shit. I came to #RCN today, and all I heard was bitching β
β because someone said something mean about a group. WELL, if you are a β
β group member and your group gets made fun of, take it on the chin, be a β
β man. We have and will make fun of A LOT of people, most of it is just β
β FUN and in MAD RCN, and people realize this and get over it. If you β
β come in and bitch at us, it makes us want to rip you some more. Ok β
β enough of this. β
β β
β Now, this is for the people that come in and say "SEND ME THE NEWEST β
β RCN!" You don't have to beg!!!! Before you nag people for it try this. β
β Look in the channel for someone named *dcc (anythingdcc). If they exist β
β type this : "/MSG <nick> xdcc list" If they list that they have it type β
β this : "/MSG <nick> xdcc send #<pack@>" β
β β
β OK!! NOW, if there isn't a DCC in the channel look at the topic. β
β It will usually have an FTP or Web page adrress! If they aren't there, β
β then ask. Please don't just come in and BEG. It is very unbecoming. β
β β
β Also, for people that want to write for RCN, you don't have to ask β
β for an RCN app. Just write something and send it to me. If it is good β
β we use it, if not, well.. we don't. However, our editors are very β
β patient and they will try to unscramble any submission, regardless of β
β your English skills. Also, we readily accept submissions written in β
β French, Hebrew, Spanish, or Swedish. Don't worry, we'll get it β
β translated! (Of course, we still prefer English!) If you can keep β
β submitting to RCN you will become a member. But don't ask what the β
β topic should be, if we had all the topics we could write the whole β
β magazine, the topics are the hard part! β

β β
β Dear RCN, β
β β
β I am Rio & Ken, this is the first time I'm writing to RCN, so let me β
β introduce myself. I'm a bbs trader that has been around in the scene β
β for about 1.5 years now. Right now I'm in Razor 1911, Rapier, Mortality β
β and that's all. Now that you know who I am, I can speak. β
β β
β I wrote this letter to talk about your magazine, I really think it β
β sucks. The thing is, I'm not the only one. There are many reasons for β
β that, and well, I'll start explaining. β
β β
β First, as I see it, your purpose in the scene (as a scene magazine) β
β is to help the scene in many ways and to supply scene-news/gossip to β
β scene-people weekly. Now, that's cool and stuff, and you know, it's β
β thoughtful and caring and all. But because of your blind eyes, you β
β don't see what you actually do. Your magazine's publicity is starting β
β to be pretty huge, and the magazine is falling to a lot of men's β
β computers - now it may seem really cool from your side (having great β
β publicity), but I don't know if you are aware of the fact that all of β
β this actually REALLY ruins the scene because of the publicty the β
β magazine is getting to a lot of non-scene people, and even some β
β anti-scene people. β
β β
β As you know the magazine contains A LOT of information about the β
β scene, and some of it even secret shit that is illegal. I'm writing β
β this to remind you that the scene is SUPPOSED to be UNDERGROUND. Some β
β of the actions in it are illegal, and that's why publishing a magazine β
β like yours, is dangerous - for you, for me, and for the whole scene. β
β You know, the ONLY good thing I saw in your magazine was the revealing β
β of this lame Chris Carter, but as I'm thinking, I'm concluding that your β
β magazine is exactly like Chris Carter, you're a big source of β
β information about the scene and about its illegal actions. The amazing β
β thing is that you even mention a lot of handles/names/email-addreses and β
β lots of more revealing stuff!! I just can't understand how blind all of β
β you RCN-staff-people are and you just can't see how you ruin us all. I β
β think it's already happend once with DRAPPER's site. All I'm suggesting β
β is, if you want to continue running this lame-tragedy-magazine, sure, go β
β ahead, who'll stop you, just try doing it in a lot more quiet way and β
β don't reveal in your magazine so much, but just one thing, don't ever β
β say you're helping the scene, as I said, you all are doing exactly the β
β opposite! β
β β
β So after explaining why your magazine is lame I wanted to ask you, β
β no no, to DEMAND from you that I not to see MY handle/name on your β
β magazine EVER in ANY of the issues in the future, that includes the TOP β
β 10 COURIERS (even if I should be there), and I do that for my own β
β safety, because GOD knows what MORE you will publish about me except for β
β the handle, and by the way, I sugggest that all people that care for β
β themselves demand the same thing! Again, if I'll ever see my name, I β
β will personally take it as my mission in the scene to take you all and β
β your magazine DOWN the drain. β
β β
β Anyway dude, that's all, I put it all out of my heart, I hope you'll β
β pay good attnetion to what I wrote and will have the brain to fix β
β everything right. β
β β
β *PS* A few little hi's for some friends if I can : β
β β
β Schindler : Yo buddy, GENOCIDE RULED/RULE/WILL-RULE F-O-R-E-V-E-R! and β
β you will get HILIT, I promise. β
β β
β Amorphis : hey big guy, someday you'll talk russian too! β
β β
β Signed, β

β β
β Dear Rio & Ken, β
β β
β You are a victim of your own crime. I often tell people in the β
β scene that they need to take responsibility for what they do. However, β
β in your case, you need also take a closer look at your actions. You β
β accuse me of being blind to my actions. I am rarely blind to my β
β actions, but I will turn that accusation back on you. Until I made it β
β to the end of your letter, I saw a respectable person that had mixed β
β emotions about our magazine and had more than enough disagreements with β
β our ways. I also saw you as a person that was slightly misinformed as β
β to the ways of the FBI. I will, in my reply to you, attempt to clarify β
β certain things about my magazine and how it could possibly effect β
β you/others in the future. β
β β
β I write this letter to talk about your magazine, I really think it β
β sucks. β
β β
β Generally I stop right here and laugh, but I respect you for β
β providing me with the information of WHY you think it sucks. It is only β
β through such explanation that we can get things done. β
β β
β and the thing is, I'm not the only one. there are many reasons for that, β
β and well, I'll start explaining. β
β β
β Alright, stop right there. I respect you for your opinions and β
β commend you on writing to us, but I will not accept your writing as a β
β general statement about your friends and others that may agree with you. β
β It is up to them to take the initiative and write in for themselves. β
β You all know that RCN can post e-mail anonymously as we do on most β
β occasions and if it is a safety issue within them, there's their β
β response. β
β β
β may seem really cool from your side (having great publicity), but I β
β don't β
β β
β We don't do it for the publicity. We are smart people and if we β
β wanted publicity you would have heard of us in other places by now. β
β β
β etc...), now as you know the magzine contains a lot of information about β
β the scene, and some of it (i just couldnt/cant understand how stupid you β
β are to publish all this) even secret shit that is illegal. I'm writing β
β this letter t REMIND you that the scene SUPPOSED to be UNDERGROUND, β
β about 90% β
β β
β This is where my accusation to you of being blind applies. I'm β
β sorry to break it to you, but the scene USED to be underground. Perhaps β
β it is still supposed to be, but it isn't. The Internet has completely β
β taken away any secretive aspect of the warez scene. Anybody can log on, β
β and it doesn't take too much thinking to join #warez, and when that's β
β invite only, try Warez1, Warez2, and sooner or later make your way up to β
β a public channel. The scene is anything BUT underground. β
β β
β of the actions in it is illegal, and that's why publishing magazine like β
β yours, is dangrous - for you, for me, for the whole scene. you know, the β
β ONLY β
β β
β Again you are being blind. Perhaps it is denial? You may not know β
β it, but big brother IS watching you. I'm sure 5% of most public warez β
β channels is made up of FBI agents and NARKS. Did narks only come about β
β once RCN started publishing? Hardly. Narks have been around ever since β
β the scene began. Do they read RCN to get information about people? β
β Perhaps you would like to think so, but that is a naive statement. β
β β
β Carter, but as I'm thinking, I'm conclusing that your magazine is β
β exactly like Chris Carter, you're a big source of infomation β
β β
β Though I don't doubt that the FBI computer division assigns β
β homework, and that reading RCN is definitely a part of it, I really β
β doubt that an organization that big needs help from a few teenagers. β
β Furthermore, if you're going to accuse RCN of providing publicity for β
β the "secret" and "totally underground" hangout spots on the Internet, β
β you will be accusing every group NFO file of doing the same. DOD, PWA, β
β Razor, Prestige, they all publish their group channel in their warez. β
β β
β I think its already happend once with DRAPPER's site (I cant accuse β
β you or any1 but you know you were involved and as I see it you have a β
β good chance of being the cause to all of this). all I'm suggesting is, β
β if you wanna β
β β
β I will not get into another argument about Drapper's site. I will β
β only revamp the data in my defense and show you how absurd, and again, β
β naive, you must be, to think that RCN had any involvement in the busting β
β of Drapper's site, and furthermore, how Drapper really just used us as a β
β scapegoat. Just to remind a few of us, Drapper accused RCN's publishing β
β of the NAME of his site and the University that it was running under, to β
β be the source of his bust. Drapper got busted 30 minutes after the β
β publication of RCN, and at that time, it was 9:30 pm in his area. This β
β means that the MIT staff would have gotten RCN immensely faster than β
β even boards like Park Central or Malevolence, read it, found the β
β Warez-IQ topic, gotten the question right, chased out of their hut, gone β
β to the City Hall, gotten a search warrant, meaning they assumed RCN to β
β be a REPUTABLE SOURCE, gotten in their cars, hopped back to Drapper's β
β dorm, and cuffed him, mind you all this at 9:30 pm, and last I checked, β
β City Hall doesn't stay open much past 6. β
β β
β a tragedy and a crime. I persoanlly would like to nuke you all for this β
β bullshit u're doing. I'm in rapier, and I read the GODS-MEETING-LOG, and β
β as a matter of fact I really didnt care what they said there, the thing β
β β
β Goes to show you how you should screen your members a little better, β
β doesn't it? β
β β
β execept this, you have shits like UNupdated .nfo's (that reminds me, I β
β found up one of your rcn-lamers looking for an updated rapier.nfo about β
β 10 MINS BEFORE THE RELEASING OF RCN-19, can you belive it? 10 mins be4 β
β releasing β
β β
β 10 minutes before release time. Well more like about an hour but β
β whatever. Yeah, goes to show you how we try to make our NFOs as recent β
β as possible. Such good Samaritans we are. β
β β
β nono, to DEMAND from you not to see MY handle/name on YOUR magazine EVER β
β NEVER in ANY of the issues in the future, that includes the TOP 10 β
β COURIERS (even if I should be there), and I do that for my own safety, β
β β
β Again you're being blind. Up top you published your name, now you β
β tell us not to publish it? I think you're so confused that you don't β
β even know if you like RCN or not. You want to get publicity, but you β
β think it might get you busted. You REALLY need to take responsibility β
β for yourself, sir! β
β β
β little hi's for some friends if I can : β
β β
β Wait wouldn't that be dangerous? Because we're narks, right? Gee β
β how thoughtful of you, I mean if everything you say about RCN is true, β
β you should run while you still can. Or do you want to take some of your β
β friends down along with you? β
β β
β Rio & Ken, you really need to rethink your position in your letter β
β to me. I think you're just scared and confused. The scene isn't what β
β it was a few years ago, it's not nearly as underground as it used to be. β
β Then, once you're done pondering that, think about this. Did people not β
β get busted before RCN? Of course they did. So what's different? β
β People have always gotten busted, and they did then just as much as they β
β do now. The only difference is that now you have someone to tell you β
β about it. Let's see, Demaxxus, Anarchist, Endokuken, Dr. Jekyll, β
β Brawley, and several others. β
β β
β How many of the people I mentioned do you know? Because for every β
β one you didn't, it's one that would have gotten busted without RCN and β
β you would never have known it. RCN reports on busts. RCN reports on β
β groups. RCN does't bust people, nor does it kill groups. β

β β
β Dear RCN, β
β β
β I just felt compelled to write you guys after going through RCN #19. β
β You guys did a great job! Well, let's not make this into another β
β dumbass "great work" e-mail. I have a few things to comment on, but β
β feel free to ignore me. β
β β
β This is my take on the current warez scene situation, from the point β
β of view of someone who hasn't been involved with it for a few years. I'm β
β what you guys would call an art scener. I used to be into the local 604 β
β (my home AC) warez scene, 2-3 years ago, but I moved into the art scene β
β about two years ago and never left :). Just to give you a little β
β background on myself, I started out as a local art pack courier. β
β Pathetic, eh? Somehow, that led me into drawing for a local art group β
β (Mistigris), where I developed my ANSI skills. Since then, I've become β
β a pretty good artist (if I can actually say that modestly :), proficient β
β in a wide range of artistic media (ANSI, RIP, VGA, and a little ASCII) β
β and have gone through a series of small-to-large groups (Mistigris, WBT, β
β Integrity, Union, Flatline, mOp, iCE, and finally Fire, which I am now a β
β senior staffer in). β
β β
β As I progressed into the art scene, I became less and less involved β
β in the warez scene; of course, I picked up the odd Ware or two, but β
β never to the extent that a lot of guys are doing now. I really lost β
β contact with my warez roots. β
β β
β Within the last few weeks, I've gotten a little more involved in the β
β warez scene again. It all started off when I was sitting peacefully on β
β #Fire, talking to my buds; in cruises a courier, asking for someone to β
β draw him a DIZ. I volunteered. Actually, I just graduated, so I was β
β looking for some warez to occupy my free time; I grabbed the opportunity β
β to get myself some :). You see, a lot of us art scene guys are β
β warez-deprived. We don't see many warez anymore, unless we're totally β
β into the warez scene. So I asked the courier if we could wrangle a β
β trade for warez or something. He sent me to his leader, a guy called β
β Druggy (whom I had never encountered before, but he seems to be somewhat β
β of a fixture in the warez scene :), who had just started up a new β
β courier group, The Cartel. β
β β
β Well, I talked to him, and he asked me to show him some of my β
β artwork. In a sense, you guys are art-deprived :). I sent him over β
β some of my old junk, and he loved it. Kept asking me to send him more, β
β actually. That was pretty weird, since most of the art scene guys don't β
β ask anymore; my work is pretty readily available in art packs released β
β monthly, such as the ACiD Acquisition, the monthly iCEpack, and the Fire β
β Combustion. Most packs release monthly, filled to the brim with artwork β
β like mine. He asked me to fill out an app to his group and to draw some β
β stuff for them. I saw this as a great opportunity to fill my harddrive β
β up with crap, so I said "sure, what the hell." Within minutes I was β
β opped on #Cartel, sitting there, chatting with warez guys I'd never met β
β before, many of them questioning me about what kind of artwork I did. β
β To make a long story short, I sent a bunch of them my old work, and they β
β got to know me a bit through my artwork :). I drew up a nifty colour β
β member list, and got access on a few warez sites. I'm a happy camper β
β now; it doesn't take much to satisfy me, warez-wise :) β
β β
β Since then (this was about a week or two ago), I've gotten more β
β involved with the warez scene. Druggy kindly sent me Issue #17 of RCN, β
β telling me that I was insane never to have read it before. He seemed to β
β think RCN was the best mag ever released :). I thought to myself "It's β
β a warez mag. It can't be that great." Boy, was I wrong. Again, great β
β effort guys. It rocks. RCN shines in comparison to most art scene β
β emags. Three things shocked me the most about RCN. Here they are, in β
β order : β
β β
β 1.) The fact that you guys release weekly. This seems physically β
β impossible to me, an art scene lameass who never knew mags could β
β release any faster than monthly. Art scene mags are all β
β under-staffed, and release monthly if they're _lucky_. The fact β
β that you guys manage to release weekly, and actualy ON TIME blew β
β my mind. β
β β
β 2.) The quantity of stuff you guys manage to collect on a regular β
β basis for inclusion into RCN. It's scary that the warez scene β
β is so active :). You guys manage to scrape up more articles, β
β interviews and editorials weekly than most art mags came come up β
β with in 2-3 months. Jesus! β
β β
β 3.) The amount of following RCN has. Last week, just before the β
β release of RCN #18, the guys on #Cartel were going nuts about β
β how long RCN had been delayed. At the time, I had no idea you β
β guys released WEEKLY. I thought to myself, based on my β
β knowledge of art scene mags, "what, they must be a coupla days β
β late, right?" WRONG. A bloody HOUR late, and everyone was β
β ranting and raving about how late you guys were. Shut the hell β
β up, you whining freaks :). You obviously haven't been in the β
β art scene before. We have mags that release a MONTH late, and β
β no one really complains, due to the utter LACK of cooperation β
β from anyone. An HOUR late? You whiners should be ashamed of β
β yourselves. I mean, it's already a major accomplishment, in my β
β eyes, that you managed to release weekly at all. That's already β
β a BIG plus for RCN. But whining because the mag was an HOUR β
β late in coming out? Gimme a break. β
β β
β Since then I've been faithfully reading each issue of RCN I find, β
β "cover-to-cover", so-to-speak. I'm constantly impressed by the amount β
β of quality and humourous material you guys manage to scrape up; awesome β
β job, guys. The coding is excellent, the intro and closing graphics are β
β great, and the content just plain rocks. I myself run an art webzine, β
β called "netherwOrld", (which is temporarily down, because I can't find a β
β server to house it ;( ) but I strive to keep it updated as regularly as β
β you guys keep RCN updated. Again, I'm REALLY impressed. The fact that β
β your staff is so large and cooperative is a major plus, and that you β
β have your own web domain (haven't looked at it yet, but I will today) is β
β great too. You must have a huge distribution. The only thing I don't β
β like (yes, I actually don't like something in RCN!) about the mag is β
β your menuset. Sorry to say, but for a mag as good as RCN, they really β
β bite! β

β Dear RCN, β
β β
β Last week my admin got a letter from the legendary Chris Carter, now β
β revealed to be Daniel Schlegel. It was the generic letter that has been β
β posted in past issues of RCN. My admin didn't care, I was lucky. I was β
β being accused of offering files via DCC. Chris Carter is so fucking β
β stupid, I never offer software overs DCC, I do that over FTP, and he β
β caught me during an anti-kill (nick collision protection). I never hold β
β warez on the provider he e-mailed either because I use hacked shell β
β accounts for that. So if yo ugot mail from this asshole don't worry, β
β he's lying. That man is 14 and his information was posted in RCN #19. β
β Go fuck him up. β

β Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that before people talk shit about β
β AOLers, they should look at themselves and see how they compare to some β
β of the ppl in the scene today that CAME from AOL, such as Nytemyst and β
β MGD. Although MGD is a conceited fuck, he is still considered "elite" β
β because he has no life and is a little net-monkey who can't call boards β
β AND he sucks up to ppl who he thinks have status or can BENEFIT HIM. β
β Well that's my 2 cents. Peace, keep up the good work on the mag. β

β Dear YYC, β
β β
β The bug has been fixed, our genius coder does make mistakes β
β sometimes (geeze you should see him drive), and he had the variable β
β jumper set to "= 10000 points" forgetting that sometimes the score will β
β be higher than that and never actually hit 10000. So now it's set to β
β "=> 10000 points" which works just a tad better. β

β Dear Anonymous, β
β β
β A NAZI article? Two things you need clarified. One, it was found β
β in the "Secret Articles" section, and these are a) comedy or b) shit we β
β don't take seriously. In this case B applied. Second, it was a log β
β file of two people in the warez scene, quite real at that, we didn't β
β make it up. The point? It goes to show you the stupidity of some β
β people in the scene. β
β β
β Don't even TRY telling us we're racist or anti-semetic. I was born β
β in Israel, lived there for the first 6 years of my life, and Hebrew is β
β still the language of the house. But I know when to take something β
β personally and when not to, and frankly, I never take ANY racism β
β personally because all it portrays is the ignorance of the person saying β
β it. β

β Dear RCN, β
β β
β I guess this question is for Xenon, one of the greatest coders I β
β have ever seen. I am assuming that RCN switches the computer to β
β protected mode. How do you do that and what type of software do you β
β use? I am trying to find some libs, but they all say "register me" or β
β die after thirty days, and of course, I read your emag, so do you really β
β think I'd register anything? β
β β
β Anyway, forward it to Xenon, and give me a reply. Oh, by the way, I β
β wouldn't mind having the source for your game. If I can't, I wouldn't β
β mind having chunks of it, like the animation part or the hit detection β
β part or the sound (I especially need sound). If you are using some β
β prepacked library can you tell me the URLs or mail 'em to me. β
β β
β By the way, I think your mag is one of the coolest codes I've ever β
β seen, and the articles are awesome. I'm glad you're back after you took β
β off a few months ago. β

β Dear An Aspiring Coder, β
β β
β Unfortunately when we looked around for protected mode source all we β
β ever saw was "register me" or it would die in 30 days. So we decided to β
β screw protected mode. RCN runs off of a built-in overlay file. The β
β overlays are stored within the main EXE so there is no need to have β
β extraneous outside data files. The configuration is also stored in β
β several bytes within the main EXE. β

β Dear RCN, β
β β
β I would like to use this chance to reply to an editorial by a person β
β named Joker, posted in the 19th issue of RCN. There he said something β
β about the games scene dying out, and that he personally thought that it β
β was no big loss, as the utils scene is more important. β
β β
β I couldn't disagree more. The fact is that the reason why the β
β number of good games in the scene today always exceeds the amount of β
β good utilities by far is because it is much easier to come up with a new β
β concept in gaming than in utilities. β
β β
β The thing is, after playing Doom and beating all the levels ten β
β times without loading game a single time, people are still willing to β
β play Doom 2. But once you have already found the perfect communications β
β program, or the best Dos shell, you really don't care about any new β
β comm proggies, or Dos shells that come out. β
β β
β So I think that if the CD releases were to kill the games scene β
β (which I doubt, as so much room in them is taken up by the movies and β
β voices that are so easy for our expert groups to rip out) whatever would β
β be left of it, would be pretty boring, and people will soon lose their β
β interest in it. β

β Dear RCN, β
β β
β For about a month now, all I've been hearing is how my friends keep β
β getting busted for doing jack, and quite frankly, I am sick of it! Dr. β
β Jekyll was the first of whom was taken by them. I valued his β
β companionship greatly due to the fact he was always the first one to β
β greet me when I logged on, and was always ready to help me find whatever β
β I needed, not to mention getting me honorary ops a few times :) Dr. β
β Jekyll.. if you ever read this, thank you for everything. β
β β
β Dr. Jekyll was busted, and I was feeling kinda down. We all go β
β through it, but it passes, and I dismissed it as just something that β
β happened. I myself stopped hacking a while ago, but I still felt β
β comfortable that if I ever wanted to return, I would be pretty safe. β
β β
β Then, recently, OoZiE, another of my friends, was busted for using β
β *ONE* hacked aimnet.com account! To this end I was strongly β
β disappointed.. For a full day, I sat at my terminal and wondered what β
β was going on, and seriously considered dropping out of the scene. After β
β all, I have a future right now (for the most part) and don't want to β
β blow it just for some stupid games and apps, no matter how good they may β
β seem to be. β
β β
β After sitting there and contemplating, I went and played a game of β
β the Quake beta which just shot those preminitions away. I'd like to β
β think I didn't waste that time, and I'm glad I'm writing to you. We are β
β the future, and if we stick together, we cannot be contained. I hate to β
β bitch about the profiteering made on the net, but fact is that there are β
β hundreds, perhaps thousands of corporate morons sitting there trying to β
β find ways to make MORE money for their corporations from the Internet, β
β and to them, an obstacle is the lack of control in CyberSpace. I think β
β that everytime there is a bust, every H/P/A/C'er, and those in the warez β
β scene, should take note and pay them a moment of silence. One day, β
β unless I'm careful, I will be taken down, fined, and probably jailed. β
β If you're not careful, the next one down might be you. β

β Dear RCN, β
β β
β I won't suck up to you like those other stupid fucks. I'd just like β
β to say that warez groups suck. They have no life what so ever. Who β
β gives a fuck about 0 day and who can release this or that first. β
β β
β All the warez groups care about is how fast they put their shit out. β
β They don't even test most of it. I download a game or a util and it has β
β errors and other shit. Gimme a break. People in #Exceed don't give a β
β fuck about how fast it is, they just care about getting a good game or β
β util and having it work. The only reason groups release shit is to get β
β "known." But who the fuck cares besides other groups. The only time β
β you're wasting is you're own. I must say though that Razor 1911 and DOD β
β and a few others do put quality warez out although noone really gives a β
β fuck. Probably all the couriers don't even try 1/100 of the games and β
β apps they curry. Why should they, they need to go get some more -100 β
β day warez. I dunno about you but I don't really give a shit about 0 β
β minute OS/2 porn. FUCK YOU you lame ass couriering groups. β

β Dear RCN, β
β β
β I just downloaded #19, that was my very first issue. I thought that β
β RCN was a .txt file like other warez reviews. Boy, was a DEAD wrong. β
β This is the BEST. The music, Wow, what a touch. The Space Invaders, β
β nice way to get the password. Everything is good in RCN. β
β β
β I especially like the music, and the scene that plays when you start β
β it up. Well, when I read the intro, it says I can submitt stuff. Well, β
β I am right now. I was wondering if you could make a section in RCN, for β
β Anarchy Freaks. Like put Jolly Rogers Cook Book in it, and PeEll's PaC, β
β and mine :) It is CracK PacK. I just can't get enough of the music and β
β the art, what a touch! I'll send you Crack PacK (which is the one I β
β wrote) and PeEll's PaC (i didn't write it). Make it so that it has 3 β
β catergories: 1) JR's Cookbook 2) CracK PacK 3) PeEll's PaC. Then when β
β they select one, it shows the index.txt. Make the other txts links β
β within the index.txt in RCN. That will get more people to read RCN. β
β β
β You should make levels in the Space Invaders, and new guns, make a β
β CODE too, so you become invicible and in GOD mode. OR make a whole NEW β
β game (maybe Doom-Like?). Thanks for atleast listening to my thoughts. β
β I hope this makes the next issue! β

β Dear RCN, β
β β
β I am sick of everyone making fun of users from AOL. Personnaly I β
β can not stand it, but most warez traders on AOL have fake accounts, so β
β they cannot be considered users of the service. I wouldn't pay for AOL β
β but it is a good service because you can access the Internet through it β
β and it is much faster for distributing warez. If I had local access to β
β an Internet provider I would get it, but until then I will get free β
β access via AOL's 800 number. β
β β
β If you ever get a chance make a fake account on AOL and go to the β
β warez private rooms (currently PuPs) and see for yourselves how easy β
β warez can be to distribute. β
β β
β I have only one thing to say to the warez traders, couriers, etc. β
β that call all the people connected to AOL lamers. You must be the ones β
β that are lame not relizing that most people that connect to AOL are only β
β doing it because they have no local Internet provider so they have to β
β use fake accounts on AOL. All the people who have local Internet β
β providers and still use AOL are still not lame because you can get over β
β 400 megs of warez a day ready for download from Warez rooms on AOL so it β
β is much faster. β

β Dear RCN, β
β β
β My name is Jordy. Every day I wake up, load up screen, and have β
β efnet sitting in one window in #warez while I work in the others. Why β
β is this important? Well, I'm trying to shrug off the damn notion that β
β "#warez is where I wanna be." Every day we get a few new ones, the ones β
β that split in and think they are eleet because "they took #warez" [yeah, β
β that entire second]. I'm amazed, we're are a peaceful bunch that has β
β very little to do with the rest of the warez scene. We all value our β
β privacy more than anything else. Plus, the most fun we have all day is β
β picking random kicks for the people who split in. It sparks our β
β creativity. β
β β
β Most of us have been in the warez scene at one time or another, but β
β I think only a handful are still active in anything other than school β
β and work. Well, put it this way, when you put out a 'leet list,' not β
β one person in #warez was on it :p. β
β β
β Well, maybe one, I don't know, I don't follow too closely. I just β
β wanted to make it a point of saying, yeah, we have a channel, its called β
β #warez, some of us are also in #warez on alternet, xnet, and dbn3. What β
β do we talk about? It's not warez ;p! β
β β
β Another fact of #warez is, when I scanned your 'leet list' I think I β
β only recognized about 6 names or so, and of all those, not one has β
β talked to me in the past month, [hint, Ionizer, get off your lazy butt β
β and msg me one of these days]. β
β β
β So there you have it, #warez on efnet, a channel of about 45 at any β
β given time that talk about life more than computers, well, maybe not β
β more, possibly equal to, maybe a bit less ;p. Oh yeah, one more thing, β
β our channel probably has more women than any other warez channel, heh, β

β β
β RCN : MGD (The Midnight Gravedigger), you were a senior of GODS (Guild β
β of Distributors) and when GODS switched its name to Amnesia, you β
β became an Amnesia senior, but you recently left Amnesia, why is β
β that so? β
β β
β MGD : I left Amnesia because there are many problems there now, I mean β
β like any one that wants to join they can join these days, Amnesia β
β standards have been lowered since before we went to GODS and then β
β pulled out. Davan is about to retire and Frost went to Damage. β
β Prozac is gone, and Shafter is in Chicago for the summer, which β
β doesn't leave Amnesia with much these days, they got a few β
β newbies, who can't show respect to people that kept the group β
β alive before they were even on the Internet. β
β β
β RCN : But what about the council members such as Lester and David & β
β Goliath? Are they not respectable enough to be able to keep the β
β group together? Or are they too no longer capable of running β
β Amnesia as a decent group? β
β β
β MGD : Lester is not around much, and David & Goliath is trying to run β
β Amnesia like its his utils group The Corporation. Many others β
β (names willl not be revealed) and I have a great amount of respect β
β for Lester, he is one of the most powerful people on the Internet, β
β and he usuallly kept things in order when he was around, but he β
β comes on like 15 minutes every other day now, and with a group β
β like Amnesia that is certainly not enough. As for David & β
β Goliath, no comment. β
β β
β RCN : You mentioned that Frost left Amnesia for Damage? What's his new β
β position in Damage? Did he leave Amnesia for the same reasons you β
β too are leaving? What part did Frost play in Amnesia's success? β
β In other words, is he THAT important? β
β β
β MGD : Frost is certainly in my mind a great rising star in the field of β
β Internet couriering. He is getting better and better daily, he β
β left Amnesia for Damage basically because there are fights every β
β day in channel #Amnesia. He he was a KEY FACTOR in AMNESiA's β
β sucess. β
β β
β RCN : History does repeat itself. Amnesia first split off of Malice in β
β February because of fights, and now Damage is splitting away from β
β Amnesia. Do you believe that my statement on how history repeats β
β itself is true? β
β β
β MGD : Damage split when Digital split into GODS, and Rapier split out of β
β Amnesia, which is correct. Amnesia did split out of MALICE β
β because of fights. Fights are what the splits start off of, and β
β when a figure in the group leaves, many others think of leaving β
β too. Yes, your statement is true except for the part where Damage β
β split from Amnesia, it split from Digital. β
β β
β RCN : After Malice's fall in February, it has never been the same group β
β because it could not maintain its courier prowess. Do you believe β
β that Amnesia has taken its fall as well, and is pretty much done β
β for, unless something short of a miracle comes and saves the β
β group? β
β β
β MGD : Well, I am not too sure about that one, you can look at Malice and β
β see from #1 to practically dead, it has happened to many groups, β
β and at this point almost nothing can save the group. About β
β Amnesia, I really can't say because Amnesia still has some good β
β Internet couriers and only time will tell. β
β β
β RCN : You mentioned earlier that when figure heads leave a group, others β
β lose faith and want to leave as well. Have any other Amnesia β
β couriers left Amnesia as a result of your departure? β
β β
β MGD : Well on that I would call it as me and Frost left together, and β
β because of this nuisance, Davan might be retiring, I have gotten β
β messages from people still in AMNESiA telling me "you know another β
β group that will take me, I would leave AMNESiA but as of now I β
β don't have any where else to go." β
β β
β RCN : We know that Frost left Amnesia to join Damage, but which courier β
β group will you be joining? β
β β
β MGD : I really can't say yet, I have talked to Eagle 1 of RiSC (Rise in β
β Superior Couriering) and he told me to talk to him when he gets β
β back on Wednesday or Thursday after his upcoming buisness trip β
β that he has already left for. β
β β
β RCN : I recall in that in RCN issue #18, a log file was shown where you β
β said that RiSC hates you? And that you would never be able to β
β join that group? Is that not true? β
β β
β MGD : RiSC doesn't hate me, I had some actions in Amnesia towards RiSC β
β but that was only because of pride in Amnesia which I have totally β
β lost completely, as it is for RiSC sure I would join now, if I was β
β given the chance. β
β β
β RCN : What were these actions? Did you try to steal sites from RiSC? β
β You said in RCN Issue #18, "I say we steal LA, Enigma, and Beyond β
β Akira from RiSC." β
β β
β MGD : That was just jibberish because I was still mad on how BBX of β
β Amnesia was taken by RiSC, yet that is long forgotten. β
β β
β RCN : Oh, okay, it's long forgotten. Two weeks is a long time. Anyway, β
β what are your feelings toward Amnesia now that you are no longer a β
β part of it? β
β β
β MGD : I could care less about Amnesia, they don't know how to respect β
β people that kept the group alive when every one was inactive. I β
β still have friends there that I care for, but much of the group is β
β deteriorating. β
β β
β RCN : How did they fail in giving you the respect you feel you deserve? β
β I assume the lack of respect was directed at you, correct? β
β β
β MGD : Well a little while back before GODS, a little after that Amnesia β
β vs. Digital courier competition, I was the ONLY Internet trader β
β actually performing when the others were gone with their excuses, β
β so I was keeping Amnesia alive, I also trained and formed that β
β current Internet team they have with an exception of a few people, β
β and in my point of view that certainly should get me some respect. β

β β
β RCN : What does Blizzard do to prevent software piracy? β
β β
β BLZ : Well, there are a few different things. The main thing is to β
β eliminate as many reasons to pirate the software as possible. β
β There's a lot of people out there who get pirated games because β
β they don't want to spend money on something they know nothing β
β about. Besides the usual shareware, we also provide spawning β
β technology, that allows multiple people to play each other off one β
β copy. A lot of people do that, get hooked on the game, and go out β
β and buy it for themselves so they can play single player. We also β
β have some fairly innovative protection schemes to stop at least β
β the casual hackers. β
β β
β RCN : Such as? β
β β
β BLZ : I have not seen a fully working crack, most of them are β
β incomplete. They don't work multi-player, you can't load save β
β games, certain scenarios aren't in, etc. β
β β
β RCN : Hybrid was first to release WarCraft 2. However, their version β
β was not fully operational. It took them three days to get out a β
β version with full network and scenario options. In this time, do β
β you think they were getting rid of the "innovative protection β
β schemes?" β
β β
β BLZ : Well, first off we need to clarify something here. We realize we β
β are never going to release an uncrackable game. Our main goal is β
β to stop the casual copiers. β
β β
β RCN : I personal have not used the Hybrid crack, yet some people claim β
β that it breaks up in Internet games or sometimes does not run at β
β all. Could this be intent or merely coincidence? β
β β
β BLZ : It's our intent, I have yet to see a fully 100% crack of a cracked β
β copy of the game. I've seen a 97.98%, maybe 99% functioning, β
β however, there are so many places in the code that would have to β
β be altered that it would probably only become with it to those β
β people that feel they're on a mission from God to crack games. β
β β
β RCN : Recently, id Software's Quake Beta 3 was released by ROR (Release β
β on Rampage). They claim to have members who are part of id β
β Software. This version of Quake had included nearly everything β
β but id Software has yet to release it in stores. Does Blizzard β
β have problems with such leeks? β
β β
β BLZ : Well, as I understand it, ROR claims they released the full β
β version of Quake but it really only a beta-stage testing version β
β of Quake. There are still a lot of bugs and there is no network β
β play. When we were doing WarCraft 2, a pre-release (magazine β
β only) alpha was leaked to the Internet, and was all over the place β
β very quickly. Since then, we've serialized all our alphas and β
β betas we have sent out and haven't had any similar problems. β
β β
β RCN : The beta release of WarCraft 2 was all over the Internet very β
β quickly, and is nothing like the final version. What is β
β Blizzard's feelings on the WarCraft 2 beta or unfinished products β
β in general. β
β β
β BLZ : Well, the alpha release (a beta release is something released for β
β actual testing, the alpha release was just to show off the game to β
β some magazines) was very incomplete and didn't give a very good β
β picture of the game at all. Our main problem with them is that β
β people will get them, and get erroneous messages 50 to 90% of the β
β time. β
β β
β RCN : If and when Diablo and StarCraft hits the pirate scene, is β
β Blizzard going to do anything to prevent it? β
β β
β BLZ : We're never going to be able to completely prevent piracy. β
β However we can stem the tide, and make it so it's actually easier β
β to buy the game than it is to go threw all the hassle of pirating β
β it. β
β β
β RCN : A new addition to Blizzard games "Battle.Net" will be implemented β
β in upcoming releases such as Diablo and StarCraft. What is β
β "Battle.Net" going to have to protect from piracy? β
β β
β BLZ : Not all of that has been finalized, and some of it can't be β
β released to the public. But, it will be transparent to legitimate β
β users. β
β β
β RCN : When is Diablo planned for release? β
β β
β BLZ : Diablo will be out some time this summer. β
β β
β RCN : Thank you for your time and I hope to see more releases from β
β Blizzard in the future. β
β β
β BLZ : You will. Thank you. β

β β
β There is a 100% fully cracked version of WarCraft 2 available for β
β pirates. This version included the WarCraft 2 Expansion Set and was β
β skillfully cracked and released by Razor 1911 in only 14 disks. Thanks β

β β
β RCN : You were a former coordinator in GODS (Guild of Distributors), but β
β GODS recently fell apart, what happened? β
β β
β AMN : Well, basically what happened was that there was a generation gap. β
β Quazimodem was a hard worker from the past and found it hard to β
β accept the hard workers in the scene today. As you saw from the β
β first GODS nfo, Quazimodem was a founding member of GODS way back β
β and decided to come back. Quazimodem found it hard to work with β
β the current staff so he left. The rest of GODS didn't want to run β
β a group that they had no history with, so we reformed Amnesia. β
β There was no real fighting within the group other than the log β
β printed in RCN. The Amnesia part of GODS were good friends with β
β each other and Digital were cool with Amnesia, so it was a natural β
β merge. β
β β
β RCN : So you're saying after Quazimodem left GODS, GODS renamed itself β
β to Amnesia? When did Quazimodem leave GODS, and which courier β
β group is he with now, if any? β
β β
β AMN : Exactlly, Quazimodem left and we decided that it would be wrong if β
β we continued as a group under the name GODS. β
β β
β RCN : There were many people such as Erupt who left GODS because of β
β Quazimodem, now that Quazimodem has left the group and GODS is now β
β known as Amneisa, has Erupt rejoined Amnesia as a coordinator? β
β β
β AMN : Erupt left GODS but came back. Then Quazimodem left and the β
β active people that were in GODS where invited to join Amnesia. β
β Erupt is now back as a coordiantor with Devast, Dealer, Studster, β
β and me. β
β β
β RCN : Studster is now a coordinator in Amnesia? Last I checked, wasn't β
β he a part of the High Council? Did Studster get demoted? β
β β
β AMN : Studster is a coordinator in Amnesia. To make it easy, we have β
β the High Council and then the coordinators. Studster plays a big β
β part in the success of the Amnesia team and he does it well. To β
β answer your question, he didn't get demoted. Studster has the β
β respect of Amnesia and he does extremely well. He could be a mere β
β courier and would still have a say in how the group operates. β
β β
β RCN : What about The Resistance, he was also at one point in time, part β
β of the Amnesia High Council, but he is no longer warranted that β
β postion, what happened to him? β
β β
β AMN : The Resistance basically quit. I haven't seen him on the Internet β
β for quite some time and I think he decided not to be part of any β
β courier team. β
β β
β RCN : Hellraiser was also at one point in time part of the Amnesia High β
β Council, but he is no longer part of Amnesia. Where has he β
β wandered off to? I still see him on the Internet, so I know that β
β he didn't quit as The Resistance might have. Has a large part of β
β the ex-Amnesia High Council lost faith in Amnesia as these two β
β seem to show? β
β β
β AMN : To my knowledge, Hellraiser is happy with just beeing in DOD β
β (Drink or Die) helping with the cracking and ripping. β
β β
β RCN : So he's happy not being in Amnesia? β
β β
β AMN : The thing is that when you have couriered as much as Hellraiser β
β has, then you don't find it exciting anymore, and you seek out new β
β challenges. β
β β
β RCN : Hellraiser can't be too busy in DOD cracking and ripping, there's β
β not much for him to crack and rip. β
β β
β AMN : It's easy to forget that DOD released quality utils for almost 2 β
β years. And 1995 was without a doubt, the year of DOD. Sure, DOD β
β might not be doing as well as they used to but when it comes to β
β quality, they are stil top 3 in the utils scene. β
β β
β RCN : Perhaps so, but this is 1996. Anyway, in RCN issue #18, a log was β
β shown where MGD (Midnight Grave Digger), now a senior courier of β
β Amnesia, said that he was planning to steal sites from RiSC (Rise β
β in Superior Couriering), specifically LA, Enigma, and Beyond β
β Akira. Is he still planning to steal these sites from RiSC for β
β Amnesia? β
β β
β AMN : You can't steal a site. β
β β
β RCN : MGD was planning on recruiting those sites for Amnesia, the β
β siteops and sysops would then leave RiSC for Amnesia. Would you β
β consider that stealing? Or perhaps you have a better word for β
β what MGD is planning? β
β β
β AMN : MGD meant that we should outdo RiSC on those sites and make them β
β choose Amnesia over RiSC. β
β β
β RCN : So when MGD said, "I say we steal LA, Enigma, and Beyond Akira β
β from RiSC," he meant to say, "Let's outdo RiSC on LA, Enigma, and β
β Beyond Akira so they decide to leave RiSC for Amnesia," do you β
β really believe that is what he meant? β
β β
β AMN : I have no doubt that is what MGD really meant. β
β β
β RCN : Do you believe O.J. Simpson is guilty? β
β β
β AMN : Hell yeah. β
β β
β RCN : He didn't really mean to kill Nicole you know. He meant to win β
β her heart over by making her choose him over Mr. Goldman. Anyway, β
β do you believe that Amnesia is faster and better than either β
β Everlast or RiSC? Or are you going to tell me that Amnesia is β
β still a young courier group, and thus, only time can tell? β
β β
β AMN : Well, that depends on your definition of fast. In Europe, Amnesia β
β is much faster than both Everlast and RiSC. Amnesia totally β
β crushes the competition on some of the best boards in the United β
β States, mainly Malevolence and Street Spyders. Both Everlast and β
β RiSC are doing great overall. β

β β
β RCN : There were some logs mentioning that *YOU*, took over channel #ROR β
β and declared that ROR (Release on Rampage) was officially retired. β
β You then said that ROR was dead because tKLP was being tKLP, why β
β did you do that, or did that not even happen at all? β
β β
β MAN : I do admit that it was my idea to take over channel #ROR, I'm not β
β going to mention who helped me though, they can come forward if β
β they wish. I did not declare ROR being dead however, I personally β
β don't have a problem with the group itself, except for their fake β
β release of Quake, I wanted to take over channel #ROR because of β
β the fact that on the previous night TKLP messed up Godsrock, the β
β channel bot for GODS (Guild of Distributors), and that pissed a β
β few people off. We just wanted to get him back for it by taking β
β his channel over. So we came, we saw, and we prevailed. β
β β
β RCN : How did tKLP mess up Godsrock? What did tKLP do? β
β β
β MAN : He got the user listing for it somehow and had all of our β
β passwords. I am not entirly sure on how he did it, I wasn't on β
β IRC at the time. β
β β
β RCN : Even though tKLP had the capability to mess with Godsrock and β
β GODS, in your opionion, why would he want to do such a lame thing? β
β Did he have a previous vendetta with GODS or specific members of β
β GODS? β
β β
β MAN : Well, tKLP has proven himself to be lame time and time again. I β
β know that he and MGD don't get along at all, and that might have β
β been his vendetta. At the time of this happening though, GODS was β
β still new, so I don't imagine that it was against the group as a β
β whole. But alot of people in GODS, now known as Amnesia, don't β
β like tKLP at all (myself included). tKLP Stated in his interview β
β in RCN issue #19 that he thought that *I* was Gahn, but Gahn had β
β no part in this at all. β
β β
β RCN : What I don't understand is that GODS justified taking over channel β
β #ROR because tKLP had been messing with Godsrock, a GODS channel β
β bot, but how could tKLP have been messing around with Godsrock? β
β He mentioned in his interview in RCN issue #19 that he was in New β
β York and New Jersey at the time of the incident and was no where β
β near a computer? Perhaps someone is merely framing tKLP? But β
β then again, he is the type that would want to do something lame β
β like that. β
β β
β MAN : As I mentioned before, I wasn't on IRC at the time. It was the β
β topic of conversation when I joined IRC that day. It's true that β
β maybe somebody was trying to frame tKLP, bUT it's possible that he β
β wasn't in New York at the time. He could have just used it as an β
β allibi so to speak. I guess we will never know, however, he is β
β known for shit like this so we acted on his reputation. β
β β
β RCN : During the channel takeover of #ROR, the topic was set to "ROR is β
β Dead" by tKLP. However, upon a further /whois, it turned out that β
β tKLP's account was not really his, but the account belonged to β
β Nytemyst of GODS? Was Nytemyst a part in trying to kill ROR? By β
β the way, I do have a log of someone using your handle and Internet β
β account in channel #ROR during the incident, so you must have been β
β on IRC at the time. β
β β
β MAN : I'm not sure about that, I had my own reason for grabbing #ROR, I β
β wasn't really paying attention to that, I was watching Flounder β
β make a fool of himself in the channel. Because at this point, β
β Starwave was in the channel posting tKLP's personal information to β
β everyone in the channel. I was moderating the channel. β
β β
β RCN : tKLP said that Starwave was not posting the correct address β
β because Starwave could not have been able to get tKLP's address. β
β Starwave got tKLP's private information through tKLP's β
β ex-girlfriend, Jan, whom tKLP claims he has slept with several β
β times, but he also claims that his ex-girlfriend does not know β
β where he lives, so there is no way Jan could have given Starwave β
β tKLP's real address. Do you believe that Starwave never posted β
β tKLP's real address? β
β β
β MAN : I don't think Starwave posted tKLP's real information. I just β
β thought that it was some lamer trying to get recognition. I +m'ed β
β the channel after that, because even if it was tKLP's real β
β information, then I would actually feel sorry for tKLP because β
β that's going beyond boundaries. The scene is getting out of β
β control with this. β
β β
β RCN : You also mentioned that GODS is now known as Amnesia? Could you β
β comment on that? β
β β
β MAN : Things are still getting sorted out right now with it. That's all β
β I really know right now. β
β β
β RCN : Did GODS change its name to Amnesia, or did many members of GODS β
β leave GODS to join Amnesia? Does GODS still exist? β
β β
β MAN : As I said before, things are still getting sorted out. I'm not a β
β senior so I don't know all of the details of the situation. I β
β don't know what's going on with GODS though, the channel is still β
β +i and I can't get in. β

β β
β RCN : I was recently informed that the person Hitex interviewed last β
β week was not the REAL Darkevil, even though he had the same IP as β
β you, and he talked like you, but wasn't really you? What's going β
β on? β
β β
β RTS : Yes, this person is a guy from my area code 403 and has an account β
β at connect.ab.ca, he uses identd or an IP spoofer to fake β
β addresses and he copies my information. β
β β
β RCN : Why would he copy your address just so he could have an interview β
β with RCN disguised as you? Why would someone go through the β
β trouble of pretending to be you? β
β β
β RTS : He copied me either for 2 reasons, he really wants to be me, or he β
β has a real grudge on me and wants to ruin my reputation. He would β
β go through the trouble so that he can make everyone think I am β
β really taking over channels and quitting groups and such, so that β
β he could ruin my reputation. β
β β
β RCN : Do you believe that this spoofer has succeeded in ruining your β
β reputation? β
β β
β RTS : Somewhat, he almost did succeed, I had thought that this got me β
β kicked out of TMS (The Mod Squad), but I was wrong, my friends in β
β TMS figured that it wasn't me. This spoofer is a pretty deadly β
β person. β
β β
β RCN : Who is this spoofer? Is he part of any other courier groups? β
β β
β RTS : I have no clue who this person is, we have some names, but I β
β cannot mention them. I do believe he really likes fATE (Fast β
β Action Trade Exchange) because he seems to say they are the best β
β and all. β
β β
β RCN : How will you prevent yourself from being spoofed again? When β
β Hitex interviewed the fake Darkevil, that fake Darkevil did seem β
β to push fATE up as a promising group even though the facts do not β
β show it, perhaps he is a member of fATE sent out by Anti β
β Derivative to hurt RTS' (Request to Send) good name? β
β β
β RTS : I really doubt that, I think he may just be out to hurt me, β
β because I had talked to him in #Blind for about 15 minutes and he β
β seems to really want to destroy me. I do not know how I will β
β prevent this, I have already informed all RTS members and my other β
β groups about the fake Darkevil and I have started the secret word β
β method. I haven't seen him around lately, but he may pop up β
β sooner or later. β
β β
β RCN : You were also once a member of Malice, what was your position in β
β Malice? β
β β
β RTS : After I read my supposed interview in RCN issue #19, I was shocked β
β and mad. Lots of people thought I really quit RTS, so some groups β
β like Empire and Malice offered me positions, I accepted the Malice β
β Internet Coordinator possition because I thought I should help β
β them and I thought my RTS reputation was over. I quit Malice soon β
β to find out I could help RTS instead of helping Malice, and I β
β rejoined RTS again after coordinating Malice for 2 days. β
β β
β RCN : Why did you leave Malice as an internet coordinator to rejoin RTS β
β as a senior courier? β
β β
β RTS : Well, I was talked into coming back to RTS because I am loyal to β
β RTS, leaving RTS made me feel guilty because I was helping Malice β
β get better when I could have helped RTS. I was the Internet β
β Coordinator for Malice, but now I may get the chance to advance β
β from RTS senior sourier to becoming a council member or a β
β coordinator soon after I help RTS get better. I believe that β
β there must be trust, loyalty, brotherhood, and dedication in a β
β group in order for it to succeed. β
β β
β RCN : Do you believe that perhaps the qualities of trust, loyalty, β
β brotherhood, and dedication could not be found in Malice? After β
β all, that group does have a tendency of breaking up? β
β β
β RTS : Yes, I do believe there is all those qualities within Malice, my 2 β
β day experience with them was great. I met lots of new people and β
β some familiar faces. They may break up, but with the current β
β loyalty there they might not. I was Loyal to RTS and I am good β
β friends with the members within. β
β β
β RCN : Do you believe that RTS is making a strong come back? As far as β
β most people are concerned, there really hasn't been much activity β
β from within RTS, is that true? β
β β
β RTS : Well ever since summer hit, RTS hasn't been doing much. Soon β
β after the work of the council and I start our re-organizing we β
β will be back in action. RTS is a great group, with a great β
β Leader. RTS is getting a few more sites up and more bbses soon. β
β We have lots coming to us. β

β β
β RCN : When and how did the courier group known as Damage start up? β
β β
β DMG : Well, it began after the leaders of Digital and the majority of β
β the seniors decided to become part of GODS (Guild of β
β Distributors). Shingen and I were invited to become GODS members, β
β but elected to stay behind, because we didn't want to leave 30 to β
β 50 Digital guys hanging. β
β β
β RCN : What is the status of Damage at this moment? I was told that all β
β the good couriers from Digital left to join GODS, so Damage is a β
β courier group that doesn't have any good couriers, and thus, β
β cannot really compete, is that true? β
β β
β DMG : Well, all of the "big name" guys left but we still have β
β hardworkers that felt they were left out of Digital's operations. β
β We have excellent couriers, some who were brought in from β
β elsewhere, and some that have turned over a new leaf with Digital. β
β I would like to congratulate the crew for holding together now in β
β this time of limbo while we acquire new sites, especially my β
β council, Reap, Gatekeeper, Stranger, etc. β
β β
β RCN : What do you mean when you say "some that have turned over a new β
β leaf with Digital?" β
β β
β DMG : Well, others didn't do much because they weren't motivated, they β
β didn't like the leadership, or they didn't get accounts on sites β
β or whatever. They recognized the new leadership and were willing β
β to become active again and give the new leadership a chance. I β
β think it's working out well. Shingen, Damage Vice-President, has β
β also been working very hard, keeping things together, and β
β recruiting us new sites. I like the positive attitude shown by β
β everyone in the group, and with a little more time and patience we β
β can become one of the better courier teams on the scene. β
β β
β RCN : You are also the RCN senior member in charge of the RCN www, has β
β becoming the President of Damage hurt your status in RCN since you β
β seem to be neglecting your RCN duties (hint, hint)? β
β β
β DMG : Well, no, I am working on an update to the RCN www, which β
β currently resides on my HD. I have been working 70 hours a week, β
β and trying to manage Damage. I've been doing all that while β
β trying to maintain adequate sleep and a social life. When you see β
β the new RCN www, you will agree that I think I am balancing them β
β all quite nicely. β
β β
β RCN : Grin :) β
β β
β DMG : GRIN =)) β
β β
β RCN : You are suddenly the President of Damage, a respectable courier β
β group, has that changed your status in the scene? How did you β
β come to that position, and what were your previous leadership β
β experiences? β
β β
β DMG : Well, Silent Mobius and Devast decided to give the group to β
β Shingen and me, and Shingen in no way wanted to be the leader, so β
β I assumed the role. As for leadership experiences, I have none β
β running a group on the Internet, but I have much experience β
β coordinating and running things in real life, so I believe I have β
β the raw skills necessary to do the job, they just need to be β
β molded a bit for leadership on the Internet. I work best under β
β pressure, so I like that type of environment of trying to recover β
β a group build character. β
β β
β RCN : Yes, you are more than capable of organizing many things, β
β especially RCN things. You seem to be quite good at that. β
β Anyway, which ftp sites are part of Damage? β
β β
β DMG : Well, as far as ftp sites go, I'm not at liberty to say, but I can β
β tell you we are acquiring ftp sites at the rate of about one per β
β week. β
β β
β RCN : These are private sites right? I'm not talking about fake anon β
β sites. β
β β
β DMG : Correct, we don't deal in ANON sites, they are lame, and a great β
β way to get busted. I recommend ANON sites for those who want to β
β fuck up the rest of their lives. β
β β
β RCN : Are you aware that when Digital split up to join GODS (now known β
β as Amnesia), Damage was created and referred to as GODS' little β
β brother group? And that members of GODS were told to be nice to β
β Damage couriers, and to perhaps babysit after Damage couriers? β
β Don't you feel that the above statement limits the courier status β
β and abilities of Damage to being second rate at best? β
β β
β DMG : I was and am fully aware of that. It wasn't a FULL big brother β
β thing, it was more of a pseudo big brother thing, I guess that's β
β what you can call it. The old Digital guys that left still wanted β
β to remain faithful to Damage, and to help us with releases, a site β
β or two, etc. It wasn't a GODS thing, it was more of a former β
β Digital member thing. I think we need it to get back on our feet, β
β and once we become self sufficient, we'll ask and need less and β
β less help. I feel this nurtures our ablilites, enabling us to β
β grow and become good couriers and respected couriers. I don't see β
β us as their baby group, or something like that. We are all β
β friends from Digital, and we intend to remain that way. β
β β
β RCN : Did you just say "releases?" Damage releases too? β
β β
β DMG : Releases, meaning released stuff, getting it to Damage so we have β
β more to spread so we can get credits to get more files, etc. β
β β
β RCN : What are your feelings on the fact that Digital split up to merge β
β into GODS, only to see that GODS died, and then later renamed β
β itself to Amnesia? β
β β
β DMG : Well, it's sort of ironic that they are now named a group that we β
β onced competed against, but its not the same Amnesia. Key GODS β
β members such as Quazimodem left the group, so none of the original β
β GODS members remained. So they felt it was stupid to remain as β
β GODS. β
β β
β RCN : Perhaps GODS died because you weren't a part of it? They seem to β
β need someone who can orgazine the group. β
β β
β DMG : Well, not to say that I could've prevented it, but I believe β
β contributions from Shingen and I may have helped the group get β
β along better, but the past is the past and I yam where I yam, as β
β Popeye would say. β

β β
β RCN : A few months ago, Pinnacle was heralded by Jimmy Jamez, the β
β President of DOD (Drink or Die), as the #3 utils group in the β
β scene, do you believe that is still true at the present time? β
β β
β PNC : No, I do not believe that is true at the moment. Pinnacle is not β
β currently #3 in the utils scene, but I believe that we are either β
β #4 or #5 depending on how you look at it. β
β β
β RCN : Why do you believe that Pinnacle is no longer the #3 utils group β
β in the scene, if that is so, then which group has taken its place? β
β β
β PNC : Well we had some internal problems in the group and the group has β
β declined in its releasing power. As time passed we began slacking β
β off and practically became dead. In my opinion the #3 utils group β
β right now is Mortality. β
β β
β RCN : I was recently informed that Mortality, a well respected utils β
β group, duped Pinnacle on 3 releases in a short week, is that true? β
β If so, what happened? β
β β
β PNC : A month ago, a guy applied to Pinnacle as a supplier and I told β
β him to show me some releases. Some time passed and he offered β
β Xref, Netpak Proffesional, and Internet ToolPak, which are Visual β
β Basic tools by a company called Crescent, for Pinnacle. I told β
β him that Pinnacle already released Xref and Netpak Professional, I β
β was the one who supplied it so I knew it better then anyone, and I β
β also told him that Internet Toolpak v1.0 was released by Pinnacle β
β and and that v2.0 was released by some small group just a week β
β before he offered it to me. Apparently, the supplier thought I β
β was bullshiting and since I told him that Pinnacle is not β
β interested in these releases he decided to goto Mortality. I have β
β all products done by Crescent and I released most of them with the β
β exception of a few. β
β β
β RCN : Do you believe that the supplier told Mortality that Pinnacle was β
β not interested because Pinnacle believed that those releases were β
β dupes? β
β β
β PNC : I guess Mortality was busy that week and didn't do a good job dupe β
β checking it. He also released a Visual Basic tool called Enquiry β
β which he claimed to be 1 disk when in reality it's 3 disks and I β
β have it and I will release it when I fix my HD. Mortality is a β
β kick ass group and I was very dissapointed to see them dupe and β
β release a broken copy of Enquiry. β
β β
β RCN : You mentioned earlier that there were some internal problems in β
β Pinnacle that almost caused its death, what were these problems? β
β And what brought it back up after it almost died? β
β β
β PNC : Well, 2 of the seniors were really sick and spent a lot of time in β
β the hospital and Iron Steel had some family problems. Back in β
β October of 1995, we also lost one of our founders, Bishop, who β
β went to PWA (Pirates with Attitudes) and our best suppliers said β
β farewell to the funky business of releasing. Since the end of β
β November of 1995, we started to release less and less and we had β
β on average 4 releases per week and by January of 1996 we became β
β idle. In my opinion, Pinnacle was never dead, we just took a β
β break so I kept it alive and we are back in business again. β
β β
β RCN : What role did you play in the creation of Pinnacle? Your role as β
β the current leader of Pinnacle is undisputed, but how did you β
β become its leader? Were you also one of the original founders of β
β Pinnacle? β
β β
β PNC : Believe it or not, I was not one of the founders of Pinnacle. My β
β career in Pinnacle began in October of 1995 when I got the β
β position as the member coordinator. From there, I rose up to what β
β I am today. The original founders of Pinnacle were Count Zero, β
β Blazen, and Bishop. Bishop is currently with PWA, Count Zero with β
β a small group called Dark*Star, and Blazen has moved to AOL. β
β β
β RCN : Why did Bishop leave Pinnacle for PWA? PWA is a much larger group β
β and is considered the #1 utils group in the scene, but that should β
β be no reason why Bishop would want to leave the group he was a β
β founder of, to join another group he was unfamiliar with? Did he β
β have no loyalty towards the group he helped create? β
β β
β PNC : I have no clue why he abandoned us because he left a few days β
β before I joined Pinnacle. I don't think that he wasn't loyal, he β
β had his own reasons to leave. β
β β
β RCN : How does Pinnacle get its releases? Do most Pinnacle suppliers do β
β store pick up, or are there Pinnacle suppliers that have β
β connections within companies? β
β β
β PNC : All of us do it differently. Some work in stores, some work in β
β places that buy software, but only a few have actual company β
β contacts. β
β β
β RCN : At one point in time, Pinnacle was a utils only group, but β
β recently, I have to say that I am surprised or sad to see that β
β Pinnacle has released a few games, why is that so? Pinnacle is a β
β quality utils group and some must wonder why it is starting to β
β release games. Has Pinnacle's quality of standard dropped in the β
β recent months? β
β β
β PNC : Actually we have released games almost since the birth of the β
β group but not that many. When our suppliers had games and we β
β didn't have enough time to trade the game we released them. But β
β it didn't happen a lot and we released only a few good β
β games/addons but as of last month, Pinnacle is utils only. β
β β
β RCN : How many releases would you say Pinnacle releases each week β
β nowadays? β
β β
β PNC : I would have to say about 5 releases a week if you count all the β
β things we released in the last month. Last week and this week, we β
β are doing very poorly because me and one more supplier are having β
β hardware problems and are unable to release anything. I usually β
β download the release before releasing it and test it and I am β
β unable to do it since I get CRC errors in every fucking zip I β
β download as well as for every zip I zip myself. So when my HD β
β gets fixed (hopefully this weekend) then you will see a lot more β
β releases from us. β
β β
β RCN : Perhaps you have a virus? Many people do complain that some β
β Pinnacle releases do not work, what do you have to say to people β
β that complain about Pinnacle's broken releases? β
β β
β PNC : I don't have a virus I just have to change the mode of my HD to β
β LBA and format it. Can you tell me specifically which releases β
β were claimed as broken? β
β β
β RCN : People have come up to me claiming that your 19 disk release of β
β Land Designer 3D v4.0 are missing some files and won't even β
β install. Is that true? I personally would have no need for β
β landscaping software, nor would I download copyrighted material. β
β β
β PNC : Yes, that is absolutely true and I want to apologize to all those β
β people who spent time downloading it. The problem with this β
β release was that the supplier didn't know how to rip it and test β
β it and I had to help him. He did a good job ripping it and β
β testing it but he forget to take out the original cd out of his cd β
β drive and he had no problems installing it from HD. It was his β
β first rip and he made a mistake and everyone makes mistakes once β
β in a while. Other than that there were no broken releases. β
β β
β RCN : Yes, we all make mistakes, and it's what we do after we make the β
β mistakes that separates the good from the bad. Was a fix or a β
β fixed version of the program ever released by Pinnacle? β
β β
β PNC : No, at least not yet. The guy who supplied it asked the legendary β
β Misha to do a crack for him but I don't know what's going on with β
β it. β
β β
β RCN : But it's been almost a week since it was originally released? β
β Wouldn't another utils group jump on that release by now? β
β β
β PNC : Yes and he asked him right after we found out that its broken. β
β That just shows that not every group is capable of getting some β
β stuff that we get while others are. β
β β
β RCN : You said earlier that Pinnacle released about 5 releases each β
β week, that is a very impressive number, but does that number β
β include releases such PPEs which are freeware mods for PCBoard? β
β β
β PNC : No, we haven't released PPEs in a long time. β
β β
β RCN : What do you see happening to Pinnacle in the future? Do you see β
β it becoming the pinnacle of utils release groups, or do you β
β believe that it would once again reach a low point and even β
β perhaps die off? β
β β
β PNC : I don't think Pinnacle will die, at least not as long as I'm in β
β it. Time will only show what will happen to us but I believe we β
β will become stronger. β

β β
β RCN : Could you start by telling me your current affiliations. β
β β
β THC : My main affiliation is THC (The Hardened Criminals) right now. I β
β am involved with other groups, but I'm not as dedicated with other β
β groups as I am with THC. I am really trying to focus on THC β
β because of all the new changes that have been implemented. β
β β
β RCN : What are these changes within THC that would require your β
β attention? β
β β
β THC : For those who don't already know, THC has moved to becoming a β
β release group, we used to courier and release, but we only release β
β now. β
β β
β RCN : A courier group has gone to release? How did all this happen? β
β β
β THC : Well, we have dropped a lot of couriers and idlers. The old β
β couriers were moved to other big courier groups like fATE (Fast β
β Action Trade Exchange), Motiv8, and RiSC (Rise in Superior β
β Couriering). The slow couriers that weren't doing anything were β
β just cut. BBS couriers were kept because we will still need them. β
β β
β RCN : I know fATE, Motiv8, and RiSC well enough to know that they just β
β don't accept any couriers, you have to be good. How did you guys β
β get them in there? β
β β
β THC : Well, remember we only sent over the good couriers. Super Hacker β
β knows some people in there, and setup some deals with them. β
β β
β RCN : So by dropping a few couriers, THC moved over from couriering to β
β releasing? That couldn't have been the only step, what else was β
β involved in the transition? β
β β
β THC : Oh no. We have also added some suppliers, and are making projects β
β to raise some money for THC, and therefore get some releases. We β
β have also been talking with people that work for some big β
β companies to also supply for us. β
β β
β RCN : You guys are raising money to BUY releases!? Anyway, is THC a β
β games group, a utils group, or will THC be releasing both games β
β and utils? β
β β
β THC : We are releasing both. I know it may sound like a bad idea, but β
β we can easily get the job done and kick a lot of other release β
β groups asses! We've already released several builds of NT and we β
β are good at getting software that's by Microsoft. β
β β
β RCN : How would you rate THC against other release groups in the scene β
β that are already well established? β
β β
β THC : I can't say that we are above them right now, but we have only β
β been a release group for about 2 days and already have had β
β working, fully cracked releases. That already puts THC above β
β other groups that can't crack, groups like.. Napalm. β
β β
β RCN : Did you guys keep your courier division to courier your releases? β
β β
β THC : No, we kept some couriers, so that they could send THC releases to β
β our official couriers and boards. β
β β
β RCN : If you did drop your courier division, then which courier is the β
β official courier group for THC, or is there none? β
β β
β THC : Our official couriers are fATE. We wanted the best and fastest, β
β so we got them. β
β β
β RCN : Eeeeiiiwww.. you think fATE is the best? Okay, well, everyone is β
β entitled to an opinion. Thanks a lot for your time, hope all goes β
β well. β

β β
β Soon after RCN posted the information to the REAL Chris Carter, i.e. β
β Daniel Schlegel, Daniel went off and wrote a file about why it's not β
β really him and how RCN had made a grave mistake. He frantically tried β
β to courier the file around on IRC and since I don't think he did a very β
β good job, I'll publish it here to joggle your memory. Then, I will β
β explain to you why Daniel is full of it here. β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β The truth about the "Carter" incident, from someone caught in the β
β middle, by Sargon. β
β β
β When RCN #19 was released, the most important issue was the one on β
β Carter's "info." The info given out by RCN was completely wrong. This β
β was not in any way RCN's fault. Apparently some local to Daniel, who β
β was an enemy of his, started spreading Daniel's info around to a few β
β people, saying it was Carter's. Eventually, a bunch of these sources β
β got to RCN and gave them the info. This is where they got the "many β
β sources" thing. β
β β
β Sorry, but you're wrong. RCN's many sources were mainly victims of β
β Carter's that sent us the screen captures of the letters. It was mostly β
β useful because we got information regarding where you were sending mail β
β from. The information about you directly was given by one source and β
β one source alone, and that source will be kept anonymous unless desiring β
β not to in the future. β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β RCN then called Daniel, and talked to him, pretending to be from β
β some piracy organization. Daniel then started cracking up at the name β
β Chris Carter. β
β β
β Well you could say that. It sounded more like a cry being passed β
β off as a laugh to me, he really took a double take on that name. He was β
β scared, and I don't think normal people get randomly scared at that β
β name. Besides, I had named funnier names than Chris Carter before that, β
β I said "Michael Jackson" and Chris Carter would have been dull β
β comparatively. β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β I happen to know that Daniel was stoned out of his mind that night, β
β explaining the "laughing fits" RCN described. He found it funny because β
β Chris Carter happens to be the producer of the X-Files, a show he β
β obsessively watches. β
β β
β Are you trying to plead insanity? If he were stoned, he would have β
β laughed when I told him I was calling from a software piracy β
β organization. β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β As for him acting paranoid, wouldn't you, if someone from a "piracy β
β organization" called you at 3 in the morning harassing you? I also β
β happen to know he IS a newbie, because I introduced him to the Internet, β
β and he knows jack shit. β
β β
β Excuse me, but a guy that's new to the Internet doesn't know all β
β that much about warez and frankly generally doesn't know IRC, much less β
β be able to spot out commands to me like "/whois" over the phone and say β
β "EOF From client" without reading it off of a piece of paper. This guy β
β definitely knows what he's doing. Not to mention he also named, without β
β my help, channels such as #fATEfiles, #Warez950, and #m8leech. Just β
β knowing #fATEfiles shows he's been around longer than he said on the β
β phone (he said 7 days) because #fATEfiles changed its name to #Exceed a β
β long time ago. β

β β
β He hangs out on #Sexpics all day trading PORN. He is a lamer, β
β simple as that. β
β β
β I don't care how embarassed a guy would be to admit that he hangs β
β out in #Sexpics, if this guy were half as afraid as you describe him to β
β be, he would have quickly said that to refute ever having traded warez. β
β β

β β
β As for the "evil hacker warez pup nig" or whatever, that's where I β
β fit in. I DO have his password, and I do have his account. When Daniel β
β kept going "hmm, uhmm.." after he was asked a question, he was being β
β SARCASTIC people. If you can't tell the difference between sarcastic β
β and real, you should go to the doctor. β
β β
β Haha that's a funnier excuse than the drugs one! Look first you β
β tell me he was scared and then you're telling me he felt comfortable β
β enough to be sarcastic? I think you yourself are more gullible than β
β your description of RCN. β

β β
β Symantec is believed to be a Carter account because there is a lame β
β leech bot that comes from Symantec, suspected to be Carter's. None of β
β his parents work for Symantec, and he doesn't either. He's 14 years β
β old. β
β β
β Daniel, next time you get accused of something you're guilty of and β
β you try to publish a file acting like an evil friend try doing a better β
β job of reading the text you're arguing against. Symantec was merely a β
β return address that Chris was spotted on a few times. β

β β
β He happens to be a Christian (lame :>), who makes good grades and β
β all that goody goody shit. He is not a LOSER that sits on the Internet β
β all day trying to scare warez pups half to deat, and getting people such β
β as Dr. Jekyll in trouble. Yes, there are people with better things to β
β do. I know Daniel personally, and know that he is a LAMER, and wasn't β
β even around when Carter was in his prime. He was still calling local β
β BBSs on his Macintosh. I talked on the phone with Rebel Chicken and β
β Daniel, and Rebel Chicken even admitted himself that he didn't believe β
β Carter was Daniel. β
β β
β Hahaha Chris Carter wasn't on drugs when I called him but I really β
β think you were when you wrote this! What do you think we're stupid or β
β something? I called Rebel Chicken, in extreme awe, and of course he β
β told me he never spoke with you voice. Come on man, if you're going to β
β lie, do it in a less obvious manner! β

β β
β He is simply a victim of an evil prank. How would you react to β
β having your info posted as IRC's most hated person? β
β β
β Do you really want to know? I'd be on IRC cussing everybody out and β
β doing a hell of a lot more than Daniel has been doing. I think Daniel β
β thought for a change and figured out he'd be better off staying quiet β
β and just writing this one file hoping people would just forget about it. β

β β
β Daniel does not deserve this shit, he is some lame innocent newbie β
β whose purpose to get on the net is to get porn. The ironic thing is, I β
β happen to know someone who has Carter's REAL info. We 3-way'ed him β
β about a month back, here is basically how the conversation went : β
β β
β <Carter> Hello? β
β β
β <Sargon> Is this Carter? β
β β
β <Carter> Who are you? β
β β
β <Sargon> It doesn't matter β
β β
β <Carter> How did you get my info?? β
β β
β <Friend> Hey mother fucker β
β β
β <Carter> Oh.. it's you! If my info gets out, I will have you busted. β
β β
β Hahaha now I'm really laughing. Alright let me explain something to β
β you. Daniel told me that he is currently not allowed to use his β
β computer because his parents locked it up in a room due to his grades β
β falling. Do grades fall because a guy is online trading porno? I don't β
β think so. We all know that grades fall because of warez, in fact RCN β
β published an article about it a while back. Daniel slipped up too many β
β times to come back with any excuses right now. First he said he'd been β
β on the Internet for about 7 days, then he said his grades dropped. β
β What, he got a report card so soon? That's amazing. β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β Carter sounded about 18 years old, medium pitched voice. Not 14, β
β with a high squeaky voice, like Daniel. If you doubt my credibility, I β
β have been on IRC for 2+ years, I am an op on #Oldwarez, and everyone I β
β know is aware of the fact that I would not lie about something like β
β this. I share the account, why the hell would I share an account with β
β Carter? =) To summarize, this whole thing was just some lame prank, β
β that was taken too seriously by everyone. The source started at one β
β person, then spread, eventually got to RCN, and now is everywhere. Just β
β goes to show you what one prankster can do. β
β β

β β
β Alright now my turn. To summarize. Upon calling Daniel, at 3 am β
β his time, he was sleeping and was just waking up to my call as I talked β
β him into waking up. As soon as I mention warez he tries to use his β
β "friend" as an excuse, and then he majorly slips up. He said that he β
β was actually on the phone with his friend when I called and he switched β
β over with call waiting. Then somehow the excuse turned into a 3-way β
β conversation at the end when I notified him that my "research department β
β was working on tracing the other conversation." Daniel did what your β
β average guy would do while denying involvement. Unfortunately, he β
β didn't think fast enough at this late time of the night and each new β
β excuse ran over the last. β
β β
β Furthermore, soon after publishing RCN #19, a guy came into the β
β channel saying we had the wrong guy. I was scared, of course, because I β
β didn't want to make such a grave mistake. Of course, after doing a bit β
β more searching, I found out that this guy in the channel was actually β
β Chris Carter/Daniel Schlegel on another account. β
β β
β Oh by the way Daniel, smart move in changing your answering machine β
β message from "Hi this is Daniel, etc." to the generic "Please leave a β
β message at the tone" computer voice. First smart thing you've done in β
β the whole incident. β

β The following is a log file between a cracker from Prestige, Lost β
β Soul, and one of the leaders of Napalm, Prophet : β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β <LostSoul> I made a mistake by trusting you, you have 2 days to give me β
β a VERY GOOD EXPLANATION about it. I'm not trying to threaten β
β you, but if I'm not getting good explanations, I'll do my β
β best to get other crackers away from helping from Napalm. β
β β
β <Prophet> Well guy, you just gave me the LB.EXE and I thought I could β
β use it. I didn't know you don't want me to use it. What do β
β you want me to do now? β
β β
β <LostSoul> You promised me that it was for personal use, don't lie to β
β me. You tricked me. β
β β
β <Prophet> Yes, I know I said that, but I didn't know you would mind that β
β I use it. I'm very sorry for this man. β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β You might be confused as to what the above log meant. According to β
β Lost Soul, Prophet came up to him to have a game cracked. At first, β
β Lost Soul was not willing to crack the game for Prophet because Prophet β
β could have released the crack for a game for Napalm. Lost Soul is a β
β Prestige cracker and is thus, not allowed to crack games for other games β
β groups such as Napalm. β
β β
β Prophet then saw that he had no choice but to lie to Lost Soul. β
β Prophet said that the game Lost Soul would be cracking would not be used β
β in a release by Napalm, but was merely for his own personal use. β
β Innocently, Lost Soul agrees and cracks the game for Prophet, only to β
β find that his crack was later released by Napalm. β
β β
β Napalm couldn't get a game cracked, so they had to trick an innocent β
β Prestige cracker into cracking it for them. Since Napalm doesn't seem β
β to have any crackers, and none seem to want to join Napalm, if you do β
β happen to be a cracker, beware, don't be surprised if Prophet comes up β
β to you and tries to trick you in the same manner he tricked Lost Soul. β

β <Skatman> Oh my god!!! β
β β
β <PForm> I heard it's a bitch to crack. β
β β
β <Incarnate> It IS a bitch. β
β β
β <MMan> They could be uploading BULLSHIT! β
β β
β <Incarnate> I feel sorry for Eck. β
β β
β <PForm> <Trix> NHL Powerplay is being uploaded as we speak. β
β β
β <PForm> More games to play? It's not cracked. β
β β
β <MMan> Ahhaha, then crack the mother and we can repack it no sweat. β
β β
β <Incarnate> IT ISN'T??? WE STILL HAVE TIME? β
β β
β <PForm> <dks> Guys get ready to release the crack then since it's β
β probably not cracked. β
β β
β <Dealer> Wait! β
β β
β <Incarnate> Holy hit! Let's get working! β
β β
β <MMan> We've gotta make a decision. β
β β
β <PForm> GO SPREAD IT!!! GIVE IT TO DEALER!! β
β β
β <Skatman> SPREAD IT! β
β β
β <Dealer> Someone give it to me! β
β β
β <MMan> We still need to crack it! β
β β
β <Dealer> I gotta upload it to Beyond Akira! β
β β
β <PForm> We will release the crack later, we don't care. GET IT ON β
β BEYOND AKIRA! β
β β
β <Dealer> DON'T SPREAD IT ON SITES! β
β β
β <PForm> GIVE IT TO DEALER! β
β β
β <MMan> Fine. Someone give it to Dealer. β
β β
β <Dealer> It has to be on Beyond Akira first. Fuck the crack. I will β
β ISDN it to Beyond Akira. β
β β
β <Cpt_Blood> We will release the crack later. We DON'T care. β
β β
β <PForm> Release the crack later. β
β β
β <Bdeath> Fuck the crack! β
β β

β β
β <Dealer> BDeath, we will release a crack. β
β β
β <Incarnat3> Ok, so what the fuck are we going to do? β
β β
β <MMan> Crack it first I think. β
β β
β <PForm> Incarnate, just give it to Dealer. β
β β
β <Incarnat3> It's not in zips yet. β
β β
β <Bdeath> Well, the fucking crack better be spread right after the β
β release. β
β β
β <MMan> Include the crack in the LAST disk. β
β β
β <Skatman> We are releasing it. β
β β
β <MMan> Yeah man, that's the way to go. Upload every disk except for the β
β last one. And that will buy us some time. When Eck has it β
β cracked, we will put the crack in the last disk okee? β
β β
β <Dealer> Good idea, I'll leave the last disk out. β
β β
β <MMan> Ok, Dealer, upload the first what, 36 disks? β
β β
β <Skatman> No, 22. β
β β
β <Dealer> The last disk will have the crack β
β β
β <Bdeath> I say we need to put the crack in the last disk. β
β β
β <MMan> Let's rock :> β
β β
β <Bdeath> Ok, what is the release? β
β β
β <MMan> NHL Powerplay. β
β β
β <Bdeath> Ok, upload it all except the last disk. β
β β
β <PForm> Give the release to Dealer! β
β β
β *** MMan changes topic to "[CD] CoreDump '96 - Let's Rock [CD]" β

β β
β <Skatman> Dealer has it. β
β β
β <Dealer> I need to package it guys. β
β β
β <MMan> We need a NFO and DIZ then. I hope Incarnate's workin on it. β

β β
β What can I say? MMan is the only guy with half a brain on your β
β team. The only thing I can say is that if you're uploading ISDN and β
β your cracker is as disorganized as the rest of the group, you stand no β
β chance cracking an entire game and testing it if it's only 22 disks. On β
β ISDN that'll buy you a whole 30 minutes :-). Good luck in the future β
β guys. β

β β
β The past few days, I've been reflecting on something. New β
β communications packages and breakthroughs are popping up, and in my β
β opinion, can be used to our advantage. By using voice technology and β
β new file transfer tools, the warez scene as we know it can take a big β
β leap as far as trading is concerned, and provide both group and trader β
β to trader interaction with a new, exciting, and easy to use medium. Two β
β programs that I have tried and feel meet these requirements are Internet β
β Phone Release 4, by VocalTec and Internet Party Line by Intel. β
β β
β Internet Phone Release 4 is a valuable tool. It provides several β
β features, with an easy to learn interface. Hidden under all the pretty β
β cartoons and modern buttons, lies a great multimedia communications β
β package, just waiting to be used. Over the past few days, I've been β
β using the software, trying out the different tools such as file β
β transfers (zip, txt, jpg, you name it), the whiteboard, text chat, voice β
β mail and of course the main focus of the program, voice capabilities. β
β Iphone4 lets users create their own channels, and allows other people β
β who have the same interests to easily find and join these channels. β
β β
β Some channels that would probably be of interest to the average β
β elite are Warez, Warez Sites, #Warez666, and even RCN has a channel open β
β for people to gather, named RCN of course, and new channels pop up β
β daily. Through the RCN channel, myself, RoadRebel, and a few others β
β have gotten together and found out it can be both fun, and valuable to β
β utilize Iphone to conduct small private meetings. I can show Road Rebel β
β an article I am working on, and talk about it on the spot, we can β
β transfer files easily, and many other features make it just a great β
β tool. β
β β
β Internet Party Line lets more then one person get together to have β
β voice meetings. Also available is a text chat window, for people who β
β need it. What the program lacks in interface it makes up for in how it β
β brings several people together for one purpose. Groups can use this to β
β conduct their meetings in a new way, or they can use it just to chat β
β with friends. I think Internet Party Line is decent, but it pales in β
β comparison to the Internet Phone. β
β β
β I hope this gives you some insight on how you can use these tools to β
β help bring your group together, transfer files, talk, and show each β
β other information on Iphone's whiteboard, and basically have fun. And β
β if you ever need help, I'm Oxygen in the Internet Phone Directory, look β
β for me in RCN, see ya! β

β β
β This is a comment spurred by Hitex/RC's reply to Bollox in RCN-19. β
β Bollox stated "how severely messed up the scene is today" and H/RC β
β replied "... I won't believe it that the scene was ever any better. ... β
β couldn't have been too excited when you downloaded Pong... " β
β β
β I am a long time trader, well known locally to any long-time pirate β
β in 516. I have been BBSing and moving files for over 12 yrs. I started β
β with the Commie, went to a TI 99/4A followed by the TI Professional, and β
β then various IBM clones. I have been, and no doubt will again, be a BBS β
β sysop running Telegard, Celerity, and PCB. I have been IRCing for less β
β than a year now. β
β β
β Let me assure H/RC I was THRILLED when I got my first C64 program β
β off of The Gull many years ago. β
β β
β Everyone suffers from the "my time was better than yours" syndrome. β
β Ask your parents and their parents. Everyone feels their time was the β
β best. The great thing about memories is that they are changeable by the β
β one remembering them. As time passes, that which sucked when we were β
β young either becomes a positive or fades from active recollection. β
β β
β So the concept that at any one time, and the scene encompassed by β
β it, is any "better" than another is a waste of effort. It is β
β comparisons that matter not hard truths. The scene not all that long β
β ago (since I'm 41 it doesn't seem long) was quite different. That's β
β about all you can say about it. β
β β
β When I started "elite" meant just that; you had to know someone who β
β knew someone who knew someone to even get a BBS number to call for β
β files. As a sysop, I had tons of new members who would call my BBS and β
β seem to be under the impression that they were "elite" simply because β
β they had a modem and enough sense (and even that wasn't always true) to β
β use it. β
β β
β Their qualifications for accessing my BBS and their definition of β
β "eleet" (and how I DO hate this butchering of the English Language) did β
β not in any sense compare with mine. My definition was longevity, β
β computer knowledge, innate intelligence, their reputation, desire, β
β politeness and contacts, i.e. who do you know that I know? β
β β
β Theirs was "I am on IRC and get 0-day warez." Theirs was "I'm in β
β XXX." Theirs was "I'm kewL." Theirs was "I've been trading for 2 β
β months and my bud, who vouches for me has been in the scene almost a β
β month longer!" Theirs was "Hey, you need me more Fo0L than I need you." β
β β
β As far as being on IRC goes, so what? Is like IRC selective or β
β something? All you need is a channel name, a 2kps or better connection β
β and don't prove yourself to be a TOTAL asshole and you can get all the β
β 0-day you want. It's not hard and it tells me nothing about "you." β
β β
β And your warez group, so what? Many (if not most) of these groups β
β suck. It used to be if you got a file, it would work cause the group β
β had a rep to maintain. Now, groups & their members come and go like β
β farts in the wind. Pride and personal reputation is a rapidly vanishing β
β concept. β
β β
β You're "kewL?" What do you mean by that? You do drugs? Hell, a β
β pussy from 1972 did more drugs in a week than you'll do in a lifetime. β
β You mean you get files? What files? Useful working ones? You're β
β "kewL" because you know what all those group initials mean? So does β
β anyone who can download a text file. β
β β
β You've been in the scene 2 months? Wow! And your friend has been β
β in 3???? I'm impressed! β
β β
β And "I need you more than you need me?" Even if true (and it never β
β has been), that isn't a very smart thing to say to me, is it? At best, β
β it is rude. Your momma may still be wiping your ass when you take a β
β shit but don't expect me to. β
β β
β The Internet has made things more democratic which is good. I am β
β elite but I never wanted to be an elitist. But, like all changes, that β
β silver cloud comes complete with a dark lining. β
β β
β BBSing "way back when" was not solely about files. Files were small β
β so it left you enough time to leech and still do other stuff. BBSing β
β was about "community." It was a shared secret. A BBS was a place were β
β people could communicate with others who shared that secret. β
β β
β With the size of files nowadays, and the spread of those huge files β
β over the Internet, who "talks" anymore? How much talk goes on in the β
β channels and if there is any, how much of it is even worth reading? β
β And, assuming you BBS, how many elite boards even get any quality posts β
β any more? β
β β
β The death of BBSing (and I personally doubt it will ever die unlike β
β some) can be traced to large files and the "impersonality" of the β
β Internet, where a person "surfs" but never gets wet. They do not, and β
β can not, immerse themselves in what was, at one time, more than a hobby, β
β it was an avocation. You BELIEVED in it. β
β β
β Who believes in anything any more? β
β β
β So let's not compare "my" days in the scene with "yours." I made β
β friends, you know nicks. Your files are often much better but mine had β
β "playability." Your files are easier to get but mine always worked. β
β You get stuff faster, but my stuff stayed around longer. β
β β
β So, be happy with what you have. If you stay in the scene for more β
β than a year or two, the new kids coming up are going to consider you a β
β dinosaur too. They will argue and laugh at you when you are tempted in β
β years to come to tell them, "Things were better when I first got into β
β the scene." β

β β
β What's life like on the Internet for a female? Well, I'll attempt β
β to fill you in on the little things that will probably make many of you β
β go "Hmm". β
β β
β I started out on the Internet many, many moons ago. I had a β
β particular friend who was into BBS'ing as much as me at the time, who β
β wanted to show me this thing called the Internet. "How much better than β
β BBS'ing can it be?" I asked myself. Well, I don't think I've even come β
β close to being as elated as I was that day. What I saw was his hard β
β drive overflowing with warez. Immediatley, I wanted to have a piece of β
β it - I needed it - it needed me. I was hooked by the time I walked out β
β his door and drove home. β
β β
β Later that day, I had my own Internet account. My own account on β
β the Internet! Wow, this was really cool! OK, time to start doing what β
β many of us do best. β
β β
β CLANG! β
β β
β Wait a minute. All these people on here are males! "What!? You β
β don't believe I'm female?! Aww, come on give me a break!" Needless to β
β say, I found it very difficult on the Internet at first until I started β
β making some friends. Having a female nick on IRC can have it's β
β disadvantages, but I decided to stay with it - come what may. I guess β
β being female has it's advantages too, as I started to meet some pretty β
β influential people within the warez scene. Within a few months I had β
β become a respected Op on many of the #WarezX channels, and started to β
β have an influence on what happened within the politics of each. β
β β
β About two years after my introduction to the Internet, I decided to β
β get a permanent connection. I was a true Net-head(ess). I would leave β
β all of my sessions running, even IRC. I remember coming home from work β
β to find 30+ messages per day asking for Netsex and the like. Daily, I β
β would get mass invited to many #Sex type channels, and quickly realized β
β that I needed to learn as much as possible about revenge on IRC. Enter β
β my experience with Killer Gold (An mIRC script) which gave me the β
β ammunition that I needed to combat the day-to-day nasties that I β
β encountered. β
β β
β I now work with a mojor ISP in Australia, which allows me privileges β
β that I would not normally get as a mere user (plus my permanent β
β connection is free now!). I get to chat with the administrators of β
β other ISPs, and request that any users that give me an exeptionally hard β
β time have their accounts revoked, etc. β
β β
β I live on the Internet and like anyone else, I can see most bad β
β situations before they approach me. Experience counts for everything. β
β When the situation warrants it, I call in the services of my friends. β
β They've always been there for me since the start, and they will always β
β be there. They are true friends. We all have true friends, and we all β
β know who they are. I thank all my true friends. I would do anything β
β for them in return. Life deals us many hands, and we have to learn how β
β to react. β
β β
β Being a female in a male dominated area is hard to get used to at β
β first, but when you meet the right people, it just clicks. We are all β
β friends. β

β β
β I've been a member of RCN for about a month now. I have to say it's β
β great to see how a bunch of cool guys Rebel Chicken, Road Rebel, and β
β Hitex can make an idea like a warez e-zine work. It's also nice to see β
β all the support people show them for their work. RCN wouldn't exist β
β without its readers, nor without the people who stop by in channel #RCN β
β for a chat every now and then. Despite all the support and effort that β
β goes into this piece of work, I have to be honest when I say that I have β
β never encountered something that attracts more immaturity and whining β
β than RCN. THREE times last week, I had to take back channel #RCN. β
β β
β People say things that piss off someone else in interviews, or maybe β
β one of the writers calls the wrong group of people a "lamer." I mean β
β come on guys, if you have a beef with RCN, write to us, or talk to one β
β of us in the channel. Don't go attacking it. In the last two weeks β
β I've squelched collisions, mass-flooding, takeovers, ICMP floods, and β
β probably everything you can imagine. β
β β
β At this point I would like to take the opportunity to thank β
β Mikeysoft, who made me laugh quite hysterically at the mass killings β
β scrolling by my screen when some people from Netcom came in with about β
β 100 floodbots or so. β
β β
β Please try and remember that this is NEWS, and we are COMPLETELY β
β unbiased. I also ask the writers to remember this. As a news team it β
β is our job to find the truth and to get all sides of the story. We may β
β not always do the right thing, but we try and even if we do screw up β
β there is no reason to punish us over it. We do our best and if you β
β don't like it, tell us! I don't think I've ever seen anyone kick banned β
β or ignored for coming in and saying they didn't agree with something. β
β Just try and remember that we are all volunteers, bringing a small bit β
β of entertainment to the scene every week. We probably work harder than β
β any courier, and just as hard as any cracker. We may not hook you up β
β with the latest releases, but we deserve the same treatment as everyone β
β else. One last thing, PLEASE remember that channel #RCN is NOT a warez β
β channel. Do NOT join up and ask us for warez, you won't get any. ;) β
β β
β Well, if any of you have noticed me being pissy or non-sociable β
β since I joined.. there is a reason for it. One which I won't go into β
β detail, but let's just say I lost someone very important to me. However, β
β I have been cheered up immensely by my new girlfriend, Heather. I'm β
β mentioning her in here just to impress her and maybe to make Rebel β
β Chicken jealous. ;) She is 15, (I'm 17 so it's not sick ;) ), a β
β professional singer, a professional cheerleader, smart, talented, and β
β CUTE!!! However, there is a small problem in her life.. someone she met β
β on IRC has been harassing her. This guy thinks that she is in love with β
β him. He has yet to acknowledge Heather and mine's relationship for more β
β than 24 hours, and he is a complete pervert. This 19 year old has asked β
β her for cyber, real sex, what color her pubic hair is, what her chest β
β size is, if they can take a bath together, AND he even went so far as to β
β ask her if she ever masturbates. Not only that, whenever he actually β
β got her to go somewhere with him he stared at her ALL the time, threw β
β her down on a bench and tried to force her to kiss him, and always had β
β to be touching her in one way or another. She's tried telling himshe β
β never loved him, that she loves me, AND even to "fuck off" but he just β
β won't listen. β
β β
β So, faithful readers of RCN, I have a little idea. What say we β
β further hammer the idea into his head that she does NOT love him? I β
β propose a little hatemail contest. You can find him on IRC under the β
β nickname of Draygon. He hangs usually in channel #Sailorscout and his β
β own little channel #Draygon's-Kingdom. His email address is β
β [email protected]. β
β β
β Here's the deal, write him a good hard hatemail, telling him what β
β you think of his perverse child loving and attempted grand theft cradle, β
β and send a blind carbon copy (i.e. so he can't see it was sent to me) of β
β the letter to me, at [email protected]. I will read them all, and β
β the top 3 letters will get posted in the next issue of RCN (so you only β
β have a week). Kindly help Heather and I out here, as we are growing β
β quite tired of him. He tried to tell her yesterday that she is in love β
β with him and will break up with me soon. What a joke. I hope to get a β
β lot of responses, so just go over to your mailer real quick and type β
β something up. Help rid the sweetest girl in the world of this fat, β
β smelly pervert. β

β The following is an excerpt from the SPA's information file β
β concerning their stance on software piracy and what they intend to do to β
β prevent piracy : β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β The Threat β
β β
β Piracy has been a major problem in the diskette-based software β
β market since the introduction of commercial software. SPA (Software β
β Piracy Association) did not collect piracy figures for the total β
β software industry until 1993, due to a lack of data on the extent of β
β consumer piracy. However, a glance at the data for business β
β applications tells the conservative story. In 1989, the total business β
β applications market in the U.S. was $3.1 billion, with a 48% piracy rate β
β which is equal to $2.3 billion in lost revenues for software publishers. β
β β
β By 1994, the piracy rate in the U.S. market had dropped to 25%, or β
β $1.05 billion in losses for the $4.2 billion market. The consumer β
β market reached $1.3 billion that year. While we do not know the true β
β size of consumer piracy, we can safely assume that it constitutes a β
β large and expanding portion of the total software industry losses. In β
β the SPA's 1995 Consumer Survey, 20% of respondents admitted to openly β
β copying software. While the piracy rate in the U.S. has steadily β
β declined since 1989, in international markets piracy has increasingly β
β become a vexing problem. In 1994, SPA estimated that the piracy rate β
β internationally was 49%. β
β β
β While CD-ROM software has, until now, been relatively protected from β
β the threat of end-user piracy by the expense of CD-recordable β
β technology, the threat to software publishers is threefold : β
β β
β 1.) As the cost of CD recorders (CD-Rs) rapidly decreases, the β
β threat of CD-ROM piracy among end-users dramatically increases. β
β β
β 2.) The software market which is now an international market, faces β
β jurisdictional differences, wherein pirated software is β
β considered low priority. β
β β
β 3.) Counterfeit software from offshore is being shipped into the β
β U.S. for rapid sale. β
β β
β In light of this increased threat to CD-ROM software, SPA has begun β
β an investigation into potential solutions. Potential solutions cover the β
β range from software and hardware solutions, to legal and legislative β
β remedies. What follows is a critical assessment of all available β
β options. The goal of this report is to identify the option that β
β maximizes protection from unauthorized duplication, while retaining the β
β autonomy of each software publisher. β
β β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ’
β β
β Potential Solutions β
β β
β By using complex algorithms, software applications can be encoded to β
β ensure protection. Encryption is primarily used to protect data that is β
β being transferred via electronic distribution and on-line services. β
β Encryption can also be used to protect software applications. β
β Publishers could encrypt their software applications thereby making it β
β impossible for an end-user to use a copy of the application unless they β
β have the software 'key' to decrypt the software code and turn it into a β
β usable format. The end-user would be required to register the product β
β (either on-line or through a 1-800 number), in order to decrypt the β
β software. It is possible to create a unique encryption key for each β
β end-user. Additionally, if a publisher is opposed to forced β
β registration, encryption keys can be shipped with software applications. β
β However, by shipping encryption keys you allow the end-user to make a β
β copy of the application and the key. Encryption has great potential β
β because it can protect software that is being transmitted via electronic β
β distribution methods as well as CD-ROMs. β
β β
β Protection built into the software application itself. Software can β
β be configured in a variety of ways in order to ensure protection. β
β Software protection can be configured to restrict the number of β
β executions prior to registration, allow only network installation or β
β single PC installation, and to restrict the amount of time in which an β
β application can be used prior to registration. Software applications β
β can be configured, once installation is complete to take a footprint of β
β the resident hard drive. Once a footprint has been taken, the software β
β application can only be used in conjunction with that hard drive, this β
β prevents users from making additional copies and passing them along to β
β friends. Depending upon the type of software protection used, an β
β on-line or 1-800 registration may have to be set up by the publisher for β
β authorized users. Software protection also allows for distribution β
β across multiple media. The benefit to the software publisher would be β
β that the same form of software protection could be used for CD-ROMS, β
β diskettes, and for electronic distribution. β
β β
β Dongles are hardware keys which allow applications to be run on β
β personal computers and file servers. Dongles are a separate piece of β
β hardware that can either be provided with the product or purchased β
β separately. Software must be configured to ensure that it cannot be run β
β without the appropriate dongle. Publishers that select this option will β
β probably need to manufacture several different dongles. Most likely β
β there would have to be a dongle for each version of the software and β
β different configurations (PC and network). On-line and electronic β
β distribution of software applications is possible with dongles, but both β
β the software application and the dongle itself are required for the user β
β to execute the application. Currently, dongles are used for high end β
β vertical applications as well as high cost applications such as CAD β
β software applications. One of the major drawbacks to this option is β
β cost. The cost of a single dongle (approximately $30) can conceivably β
β double the cost of a consumer application. β
β β
β Software protection can be used as an additional measure to protect β
β software using encryption technology. Decrypted applications can be β
β configured in a variety of different ways through use of software β
β protection in order to prevent unauthorized duplication. Encryption's β
β strength lies in its ability to protect software applications via β
β electronic distribution while software protection is most successful in β
β preventing end user piracy. When used together, software protection and β
β encryption provide the best line of defense against software piracy. β
β β
β The motion picture and recording industries have faced similar β
β threats as those posed by CD-R technology to software publishers. A β
β review of the Betamax and DAT issues and their respective industry β
β responses will be useful in the development of a software industry β
β response to CD-Rs. β
β β
β The issue of copyright infringement and electronic recording β
β technology was first raised with the introduction of the Betamax VCR. β
β Universal Studios and Walt Disney Productions sued Sony Corporation for β
β contributory copyright infringement (Sony Corporation of America vs. β
β Universal City Studios). Universal argued that "time-shifting " of β
β copyrighted programs broadcast over television constituted copyright β
β infringement and Sony, as producer of the technology that enabled β
β "time-shifting" was a contributory infringer to any acts of this nature. β
β In 1984, the Supreme Court ruled that non-commercial "time-shifting" of β
β copyrighted programs does not impair the value of the copyrighted work, β
β and therefore may be considered fair use. β
β β
β The introduction of home digital audio recording products in the β
β late 1980's raised the recording industry's interest in potential β
β copyright infringement due to the ability of digital recorders to β
β produce identical copies of sound recordings. In 1987 the hardware for β
β a digital audio tape (DAT) first became available in Japan and Europe. β
β Electronics manufacturers and the recording industry each had an β
β interest in resolving the issue prior to the introduction of DAT β
β technology in the U.S. The electronics industry feared the threat of β
β vicarious copyright infringement lawsuits by record producers and β
β composers and the recording industry had fought for a royalty scheme to β
β benefit copyright producers from home audio taping since the β
β introduction of audio cassette recorders in 1963. β
β β
β In 1989, the International Recording Industry and the Consumer β
β Electronics Industry reached a compromise during their meeting in β
β Athens, Greece. This agreement stipulated that manufacturers of DAT β
β machines were to insert Serial Copy Management Systems (SCMS) into all β
β consumer DAT recorders. SCMS prevents users from making digital β
β recordings of first generation copies, but allows unlimited copying from β
β an original source recording. In 1990, Samuel Cahn and four music β
β publishing companies forestalled the implementation of this compromise β
β by filing a class action infringement suit against Sony Corporation β
β (Cahn vs. Sony) in an attempt to bar DAT technology from the United β
β States. This case was settled out of court in 1991. The Sony-Cahn β
β settlement was codified by Congress in the Audio Home Recording Act of β
β 1992 (AHRA). β
β β
β The AHRA has three significant provisions : 6 β
β β
β 1.) Mandatory implementation of SCMS or some similar serial copy β
β protection on all digital audio recording equipment. β
β β
β 2.) Mandatory royalty scheme on recording media and equipment β
β β
β 3.) Prohibition of copyright infringement actions based on home β
β copying β
β β
β SCMS implementation has allayed many recording industry fears that β
β unauthorized digital audio taping would become a cottage industry. β
β Additionally, the implementation of a royalty scheme has allowed US β
β producers to take advantage of reciprocity with international royalty β
β programs. While the SCMS implementation and royalty scheme have been β
β beneficial to the recording industry, they also have drawbacks. As β
β mentioned earlier, SCMS does not prevent unauthorized copying from an β
β original source, therefore as long as an original source is purchased by β
β the consumer, the consumer is free to make copies from that source. β
β β
β The royalty scheme developed under AHRA has been largely β
β unsuccessful. This is because the royalties are based upon a percentage β
β value of the recording equipment and media. Since 1992, the cost of β
β these recorders and their media has dropped significantly. As such, β
β royalties are now only a fraction of what they were when the Act was β
β passed. The largest drawback of the AHRA is the provision prohibiting β
β the filing of copyright infringement litigation action based on home β
β copying. This provision is essentially an erosion of the rights granted β
β by the Copyright Act of 1976. By including this provision, AHRA removes β
β the question of whether home taping constitutes fair use by making home β
β taping a non-infringing activity. β

β β
β Recommendation β
β β
β The motion picture and sound recording industries have used β
β litigation and legislation, respectively, to control new reproduction β
β technologies, but these efforts have been either unsuccessful or β
β unprofitable. Rather than follow in their footsteps, SPA staff β
β recommends that SPA members endorse the incorporation of encryption and β
β software protection into titles and applications distributed in CD-ROM β
β format, as the best means for SPA to fight software piracy by end-users β
β and other "middle men" using CD-Rs. SPA will seek legislation and β
β regulatory changes in the US, Canada, and other countries that will make β
β effective and reliable encryption available to software publishers. SPA β
β will also pursue legislation that will prohibit the manufacture and sale β
β of devices or services intended primarily to defeat anti-copying β
β technology. By opting for the protection offered by encryption and β
β software protection, publishers will retain their right to protect their β
β software applications from unauthorized duplication and will not β
β sacrifice any of the remedies available under the Copyright Act once β
β infringement is discovered. β
β β
β In order to facilitate discussion on this critical issue to SPA β
β members, the SPA will host a round table discussion on the CD-R issue β
β and encryption and software protection solutions for all SPA members at β
β the Spring Symposium in San Francisco. The purpose of this round table β
β will be to bring together publishers and SPA members involved in the β
β production of encryption and software protection technologies in order β
β to give publishers the chance to express their needs to the developers β
β that will supply this technology in the future. β
β β
β Several SPA Member Companies (protection providers) participated in β
β an interactive session with CD-ROM publishers at the Spring Symposium. β
β The discussion focused on the types of technology available to help β
β prevent duplication of CD-ROMs. There are a wide variety of protections β
β available depending upon the cost that the publisher is willing to β
β undertake and the level of involvement that the publisher is willing to β
β pass on to the end-user. The take home message from this discussion, is β
β that there will be no free lunch. Technologies that are highly secure β
β such as footprinting, hardware keys and encryption are high in cost and β
β will increase the amount of steps an end-user will have to undertake β
β before being able to use a product. Lower level security products and β
β techniques such as flash screen warnings and forced registrations will β
β be low in cost, but will be easier to circumvent. β

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

β Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! β
β Here I will be reviewing the 5 best games release groups in the scene. β
β Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! β
β It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you β
β will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's β
β review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following β
β is the scoring basis I'll be using : β

β Points : β

β [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 β
β hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack β
β or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. β
β β
β [ 1] The game was a dupe or freeware, β
β β
β [ 2] Unsatisfactory, β
β β
β [ 3] Average, β
β β
β [ 4] Above Average, and β
β β
β [ 5] Excellent! β
β β
β A group may lose points the following week and have their releases β
β labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the β
β group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit β
β accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the β
β game will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the β
β 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group β
β releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 β
β points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. β

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

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

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

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

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

β ============ (but it is now, ok?) β
β β
β Some of you have been wondering how do I manage to get all the games β
β released each week and have time to play them and review them. Well, β
β it's simple! I own this magic wand called the "Game-o-rizer." What it β
β does, is it magically downloads shit at 100 MB/S and then it β
β automatically follows the directions in the NFOs and installs them, plays β
β them, and then writes about them. See, I don't actually do anything, β
β it's all my Game-o-rizer magic wand. And now for a limited time only, β
β you too can purchase a Game-o-rizer magic wand for the low price of only β
β $1,999. A steal at this low price, it comes in the following colors : β
β Green, Red, Blue, White Cum, and Yellow Vaginal Yeast Infection. To β
β order, send chicks or babes to "Game-o-rizer," 11 Bullshit Dr., Smokey- β
β Air, Los Angeles, California, 90210. Shipping and handling only $50. β
β Please allow 2-4 centuries for delivery, as it will be shipped through β
β UPS. β

β And now from the home office in So-Sue_Me City, Iowa, it's time for β
β Ionizer's Top Five List. (I couldn't afford all 10 so I got the half- β
β price deal). Please take this section with a laugh and don't be β
β offended, it's just a joke. REPEAT: this is merely a joke, it's not β
β true, and is meant just for a laugh. β

β RATINGS are based on the game idea, graphics, sound, playability, β
β ingenuity, versatility, and a lot of other words ending in 'ity.' These β
β games are based on what happens on MY COMPUTER ONLY, unless stated β
β otherwise. I always first follow NFO directions, and if those don't β
β work or are not available, I then try other ways. So just b/c it β
β doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you. β

β β
β Wow, what is this "Doom" thing...it's really revolutionary, I've β
β never seen anything like it, pff. What is this really? It's really β
β just doom with some new .wads (levels). They are pretty good wads, but β
β the game engine and design is still the same. Same monsters, same β
β weapons, same shit. It seriously just isn't fun anymore. Unless ya get β
β a kick out of beating any new level that comes out, you really don't β
β need to waste your time. Also, there is no ".exe" or anything that will β
β allow you to play in dos, you have to go into the subdirectories β
β plutonia and tnt and install those seperately, which is the same thing β
β as the two releases by Mantis. So if you're just using dos, you're β
β better off getting the Mantis releases. Oh, and both releases (RZR & β
β PSG) are the same exact thing, so I don't give a shit which one you get. β

β A huge war game, and when I say huge, I mean 220+ megs with the β

β everyone's doing it, so what the fuck. This is a detailed war game. β
β War, as in future war types, between nations. It has a nice collection β
β of maps of the world :). Tons of shit to do in this one, but it's not β
β really worth it, unless you like war games and plan to burn this one to β

β β
β That's it for this week, hope it was of help. I'd like to thank the β
β hundreds of you who wrote in about the fact that you agreed with my β
β review of QUAKE. Not one single e-mail complained about it. The group β
β Rise 2 Power explained the reason for their non-working release of Grand β
β Pris 2, in one of their other releases. Here it is (thanks Nohand). β
β β
β "DDMM[ Group Notes ]MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMDD β
β 3 3 β
β : All groups make mistakes, and we made a big one by jumping the : β
β : gun on releasing GP2. This release was an alpha, so we really : β
β : couldn't have fixed it. Ohh yeah, and all you fargin lamers : β
β : that pop in and out of our channel, fuck you. You wouldn't : β
β : have given 1/2 a shit if a well known group such as Prestige : β
β : made a mistake like this. Just because R2P is a new group, : β
β : doesn't mean we're going to crumble from your idiotic pleas. : β
β : R2P is here to stay. R2P does all this for pure fun, the : β
β : scene is not a full time job for us. We are no longer going : β
β : to listen your pathetic crying. Go sit in a corner. : β
β : : β
β : ------> Shit Happens! <------ : β
β : : β
β DDMM[ Group Notes ]MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMDD" β
β β
β First off, I agree with most of what they said, but it is TOTALLY not β
β true that "people wouldn't give a shit if a more well known group made a β
β mistake." People get on anyone's ass if they want to, they don't care β
β who it is. REMINDER : win95 reviews still wanted and accepted! β

β Ok these files are complete and utter bullshit that some lame ass β
β released under PWA'S name. If You have run this program already I guess β
β you know you're fucked. What this shit does is it completely DELTREE'S β
β the hard drive you tell it to install to. I bet this is probably the β
β mastermind of some 14 year old kid who learned QBASIC and said to β
β himself let's FUCK some OPS over. And he did just that with this β
β release. Most of the sysops should have realized though because of the β
β shitty text install program. Anything from clark development has to at β
β least look decent for them to release. Well all I can say is watch out β
β for this one, it'll screw ya ROAYALLY! Hey and if you're looking for a β
β good deleting program I reccomend this! β

β that print Shop does, and it's smaller, looks nice and runs nice. You β
β can make banners, posters, or your kids (if ya got em) can make shit to β
β put on the frig. Well it doesn't require much just a 386/25/4RAM, β
β single speed CD-Rom, and Windows. I reccomend you download this for β
β office use, for flyers to put under windshield wipers in parking lots, β
β and many other things. This is worth downloading! β

β Ok could someone explain to me what exactly this does?? I think it β
β has something to do with drilling and machining holes, which I β
β personnaly have no use for and I'm sure many of you don't either. But β
β if you're interested in that or need this program for your business go β
β ahead and download it, it's kind of technical so if you're a machiner β
β and a dumbass all in one don't bother. I found a couple of errors in β
β the program. When I went through the icons on the tool car I came up β
β with this error when hitting the first icon. "cannot find β
β ..\icon\name.bar" It did this for all the icons until I clicked off β
β that first main icon. Hmm maybe something was left out or just too damn β
β big to add. Who knows, but the main part or the program seemed to work β
β and so did the crack. β

β Well this could be a pain in the ass if you don't have a P100 or β
β better. This totally encrypts system files and selected files. All β
β files are decrypted when a logon password is entered correctly, but β
β because of shared files shit this program makes your machine run like a β
β 386! This slows down your computer and makes you wnat to fling the β
β thing out a window, but otherwise if you make the recommended system β
β requirements by all means you might want to invest in this if you have a β
β snooping little bastard in your house who can't keep his hands off of β
β things. Otherwise, don't bother. β

β The UTIL of the week goes to CHECK IT DIAGNOSTIC from Rise. It's β
β easy to see why, the program was well thought out and compact, and does β
β just about everything that a diagnostics program should do. It runs β
β circles around Norton Utilities and any other diagnostics program. Shit β
β this gets 2 thumbs up by me. So as you can see this was a clearly made β
β decision! The runner up was PRINT ARTIST 1500 from Mortality. β

β Sorry for not reviewing much this week, I had a late start and just β
β reviewed what I could get my hands on at the moment. Oh and one more β
β thing, I'm looking for a person to help me review OS/2 programs. If you β
β think you can do the job on a weekly basis and have a lot of writing β
β skills just drop me a line at my E-mail address or catch me in #RCN on β
β IRC. β
β β
β If you have suggestions, complaints, questions, or you just want to β
β drop in your 2 cents on a subject, I can be reached at these 2 β
β addresses. [email protected] or [email protected]. I'll answer your β
β question at my earliest convenience in the order in which the mail was β
β recieved. Have a nice week! β

β β
β Dear Road Rebel, β
β β
β First some background, I by nature hate IRCops, period, sure they β
β got a job to do, but so do me and my 10 clones. Anyway, I enjoy and use β
β smoke's clones whenever I feel it is necessary. I am as careful as β
β possible when cloning, making sure to span as many servers as possible, β
β and to change nicks, etc. β
β β
β Anyway, there I was on a normal day, and some guy decides he can β
β insult me, well I didn't have any transfers going on so I decided, hell β
β let's load up the clones. I load up each one by one, looking for a β
β server I'm not k-lined on each time, I'm able to only have 1 clone on β
β every server except irc.kern.com. There, I was in my tempClone channel β
β watching over them and doing my work, when in pops this dude named β
β Moogle, he says "Clones are bad, we no like." I was like get away, and β
β kicked him promptly, he pops back in then I whois him noticing he is an β
β IRCop, I say fuck off, and he K-lines 2 of my clones, (the ones on β
β Kern). β
β β
β Now I was pissed, what an ass, so I take my 7 remaining clones, β
β start an all out attack, go get my 2 k-lined clones on different β
β servers, and have them dcc bomb him. And of course he went down, there β
β I was laughing it off, then Boom like a gun shot me and each of my 9 β
β clones were instantly killed with the message "Don't flood me fucker" or β
β something to that effect. β
β β
β Now I was furious, just cause he managed to type /kill he thinks he β
β is hot shit, so I msg him asking what the fuck is up. He starts being a β
β total ass, so I start telling him off threatening him. Then all of a β
β sudden this happens: β
β β
β *** oDogg^2 has quit IRC (Killed by Moogle, Threaten me some more, β
β fucker) β
β β
β Now, MAYBE he was warranted to kill K-line my clones, maybe to kill β
β them, but killing some one for threatening them sounds an awful lot like β
β a #WarezX Channel. Then I try to load up my clones and there are β
β k-lines ALL over the place! W ith MSG's like: oDogg^2 You are banned β
β from this server : βΌbad_bad_bad_server_stuff. Now what gives an IRCop β
β the power to k-line ppl on multiple servers just for threatening, or β
β just an isolated (as far as he knows) cloning incident! β
β β

β β
β Dear Stupid Odoggy Dog, β
β β
β Well, I have a few things to say about this, first, in the past few β
β months I have made it my job to watch IRCops for bad kills, and try to β
β get logs to publish and send to their admins. AND in this time I have β
β made some opers VERY pissed. Right now, I can only log onto 3 servers, β
β I logged on yesterday and found I was k-lined on anarchy for clones???? β
β I never ran clones there! The opers do talk, and if you fuck with one β
β expect to get fucked all over IRC. β
β β
β BUT you can do other things to ops to annoy the shit outa them. β
β When you see an OP kill someone for clones, message them and tell them β
β what a nice kill that was, and how they must feel like a big man now, β
β say like "WOW, you typed /KILL <Nick>, you must feel SOO POWERFUL. This β
β will almost ALWAYS piss a IRCop off BAD. BUT they have NO RIGHT to kill β
β you for this, that wasn't a threat. And you weren't doing ANYTHING β
β wrong. If they kill you for that write it up and send it to me. β
β β
β I once read one of the truest things ever when I started on the β
β Internet. I went to the MIRC Homepage and in BIG TYPE it said, STAY β
β AWAY FROM OPS THEY ARE THE SCUM OF THE IRC, AND ARE JUST KIDS WITH β
β POWER. And I have seen this proven true for about %95 of IRCops. β
β β
β Signed, β
β Road Rebel β
β β
β βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ£
β β
β Dear Road Rebel, β
β β
β IRC, channel operators, and the warez scene. It goes hand in hand, β
β yet they clash horribly at times. IRC is obviously great for warez in β
β some ways. I would probably never be involved without it, since there β
β are none of those 'k-rad elite boards' out here. But shit, IRC brings β
β out the lamest in some people, and most ops don't help it at all. I'm β
β just kinda writing a list of things that bug me, and why they do. So β
β here it is : β
β β
β <WaReZd0oD> I want Command & Conquer, and Warcraft II, and MS Office β
β 95!!! β
β β
β <Fro> Yeah, I got Command & Conquer, 12 disks, wanna trade? β
β β
β <WaReZd0oD> Sure!! Do you want a site list?? β
β β
β <Fro> No, but do you have .A03, A07, and .A16 of Dark Forces? β
β β
β <WaReZd0oD> What's an .A03 file? β
β β
β <Fro> Woops! Gotta go!! β
β β
β This is an extreme example obviously, but still, I've seen stuff β
β like this happen. It's more often new guys, who are looking for good β
β stuff to trade, but still, take that site list you have, open your damn β
β cute FTP, and search through the list. Find one small thing on each β
β site you like, and download it. Upload your list, or whatever you β
β downloaded from the last site. Share the warez!! β
β β
β It's really nice when you go out for a pop and you leave a timer in β
β your home channel telling everyone that, but when some schmuch types β
β /timer 999 60 /me wants Virtual Valerie!! Then the ass leaves his β
β computer and goes to sleep. By the time he wakes up, most of the people β
β who messaged him will be gone, so he's wasted his time, our time, β
β bandwidth, and generally made an ass of himself. β
β β
β I have on ONE occasion used a timer, it was in #warez666 on β
β UnderNet, and it was set at 5 minutes. Everyone who joins the channel β
β will likely see that once, and once they've seen it once and said to β
β themselves "Nope, I don't have that for him," they just want to get on β
β with their trading, not see your request every minute. β
β β
β There are times you REALLY need some software, or a crack, or β
β whatever. But don't put a timer on. Check the fileservers, the XDCC β
β lists, and the sites. Then ask, but damn, don't put a timer on! With β
β mIRC, just hit the damn up arrow to repeat your last command, and do it β
β every couple of minutes randomly. That way, you can make sure your β
β message gets out when there is less scrolling text obscuring it. β
β β
β Ops that don't follow their own rules really bother me. When an op β
β starts to flood, repeat, and any of that shit, they don't deserve ops. β
β One example last week was an op flooding the channel with his request. β
β Ok, so I can put up with that for a few seconds, but he went on and on. β
β And his request was fucking for shareware!! Finally, I sent it to him, β
β and got a thanks, which was really appreaciated. If you are going to β
β make a rule, be prepared to follow it! Same goes to non-ops, follow the β
β unwritten channel rules and you will get along just fine. β
β β
β I'm by no means Elite, nor do I claim to be. I'm an ordinary warez β
β leech who passes between 5-15 megs through his computer a day, and is β
β sick of all the bullshit that is ruining the scene. When I started β
β about 6 months ago, it was bad, but not this bad. Enough bitching, β
β great mag! β

β Dear Fro, β
β β
β Ok, good letter, and good points, BUT.. if you read last week's β
β topic for Dear Road Rebel, you would know that topic was on "IRC OPERS" β
β not channel operatoers. You know, IRC OPERATORS, the cops of IRC, most β
β of them are total cocks with nothing better to do than kill your one β
β clone for offering, BUT won't bother to help get a channel back for you. β
β β
β ALTHOUGH there are exceptions, and some ops have been actually cool, β
β this is RARE though. Everyone knows a dickhead op or two, one that β
β stands out is a guy named VILE. This prick killed me off winternet.com β
β (shitty server anyway) for being a clone. I had NO CLONES LOADED, I β
β don't even run clones anymore. I messaged him about five times to ask β
β what his fucking problem is, the cocksmoker never answered. That is a β
β prick! β

β The following details your forecasts depending on your astrological β

β β
β Forecast of the week : Monday's Full Moon marks the end of the old and β
β the beginning of the new! Try your hand at another warez group or β
β warez channel. Make some new friends and you may find that the warez β
β scene is not so bad after all! β

β β
β <Aquarius> (January 21 to February 19) : Not everyone can see things as β
β clearly as you can, so if you consider holding back from β
β releasing a game because it is not cracked, follow your heart β
β and do the right thing. People named Incarnate might tell β
β you to do otherwise, but following your own heart is the only β
β way you will find true happiness in the scene. β
β β
β <Pisces> (February 20 to March 20) : Don't let your determination weaken β
β over something that could pay big dividends in the future. A β
β Venus-Mars liaison on Saturday is urging you to give the β
β benefit of the doubt to a relative or other intimate. β
β Concessions now will be repaid later. Take the time to β
β sacrifice now, and you will enjoy the fruits of your labor in β
β the future. β
β β
β <Aries> (March 21 to April 20) : Much of what you chat about in #Teensex β
β is very useful in real life. Monday's Full Moon marks the β
β climax of the sexiest chapter in your life. Now it's time to β
β begin writing the next one. β
β β
β <Taurus> (April 21 to May 21) : You have reached a crossroads and must β
β decide which way to travel. Two opposing courier groups are β
β going to try to recruit you. Opportunities, adjustments and β
β challenges all loom on the celestial horizon, so choose wisely. β
β After Venus, your ruler, reverses direction on Tuesday, a β
β dilemma will be more easily resolved. β
β β
β <Gemini> (May 22 to June 21) : Someone appears to be looking at a money β
β or business matter from a completely different perspective. β
β Even so, your ruler, Mercury, shifts signs on Tuesday you'll be β
β better equipped to move on to the next stage of negotiations. β
β Hold on to our aces, you may need them later. β
β β
β <Cancer> (June 22 to July 23) : Something important is about to happen β
β that will impact a close relationship. Monday's Full Moon in β
β your partnership sign of Capricorn will end a period of β
β confusion and desperation. Join channel #gaysex and you find β
β that your true friends are gay too. β
β β
β <Leo> (July 24 to August 23) : You know instinctively how to handle a β
β career or health matter, and though there may be no simple answers β
β to this problem, you must do what you feel is right. With the β
β Sun, your ruler, and Jupiter on your side later in this week, you β
β are in a winning position. β
β β
β <Virgo> (August 24 to September 23) : With so much nonsexual activity in β
β your solar chart this week, you should be feeling confident and β
β optimistic, particularly about your situation in finding a good β
β solid group to join. However, avoid rushing into any group that β
β seems too flashy or k3-rad1cal. β
β β
β <Libra> (September 24 to October 23 ) : A personal goal or professional β
β ambition can now be successfully pursued, all you need is the β
β will power and staying power to fulfill it. A weekend alliance β
β between your ruler, Venus, and Mars indicates a romantic β
β encounter with someone from a different background. β
β β
β <Scorpio> (October 24 to November 22) : You are where you are for a β
β reason, so think carefully before embarking upon a change of β
β job in a warez group, direction or surroundings. Monday's β
β Full Moon marks a turning point, and the next move is up to β
β you. An open heart and mind will take you further at the β
β moment than any fixed ideas. β
β β
β <Sagittarius> (November 23 to December 21) : You can accomplish anything β
β you want this week if you take the trouble to understand β
β your depper needs as well as those of a loved one. With β
β the Sun linked to your positive, Jupiter, on Thursday, β
β your self-esteem should be soaring. Don't be tempted to β
β spend more than you can afford. β
β β
β <Capricorn> (December 22 to January 20) : Monday's Full Moon in your β
β birth sign marks a crucial time in your life. A major β
β decision has to be made and you are the only one who can β
β make it. Even though a certain someone still needs your β
β support, it's time you set some realistic limits. β

β β
β I will tell you how to get FREE Cokes. I know it's nothing big, but β
β still, it's FREE. This trick only works on COCA COLA machines. It has β
β something to do with the validator on the machines. Take a β
β dollar bill (as crisp as possible) and lay it george-side-up with our β
β dear first prez. Face it left as if you were going to stick it in the β
β machine. Now take some scotch tape and make 2 strips as long as the β
β dollar. Now take those pieces of tape and attach them to the white edge β
β of the dollar facing you (just the one edge). Your dollar should look β
β like this now. β
β β
β -------- β
β - - β
β - - <=---Tape β
β - - β
β - - β
β +------+ β
β | | β
β | | <=---Dollar β
β | | β
β | | β
β β
β Now take scotch tape and make bars across the two pieces of tape β
β already connected to your dollar (sort of like a ladder) overlapping β
β each one just a little. Get down to the bottom and turn the bill over β
β and do the same thing on the other side (just the ladder rungs). Now β
β take a pair of scissors and trim the tape to make it all even and β
β square. Now take something hard and run it over the tape a few times to β
β ensure that it won't come off (Remember kindergarten? Put the glue on β
β and press down hard while you count to 10?). Now you're ready. Take β
β your new and improved currency to the nearest coke machine with a dollar β
β bill vindicator and insert your dollar. You have to let the bill go in β
β almost until you cant hold the tape anymore, it's important to let the β
β bill get in far enough for the scanner to read the dollar, and then whip β
β it back out. β
β β
β You should hear the click of the machine and your change drop out. β
β Make your selection and voila! Now the cool thing is when you find a β
β machine that only takes 50 cents. Cause you get your coke and 50 cents. β
β I made 300 dollars one time doing that. β
β β
β Another Way : β
β ------------- β
β β
β Take two dollar bills, one facing george-side-up, and the other β
β facing george-side-down. Take a piece of CLEAR tape, and tape them β
β together. Make sure NO space is between the two bills. Now go to the β
β nearest machine, and insert the bills. It should go in enough to read β
β the first bill. Then when it reads the second bill, thinking you want β
β two cokes, it rejects the bill since the second bill is β
β george-side-down. When it rejects, the first dollar comes with it. You β
β get your coke, and maybe some change. β
β β
β Another Way : β
β ------------- β
β β
β This method is probably the easiest because it requires no β
β preparation! Go to a vending machine and pretend you are putting in a β
β dollar bill, push the button of the coke you want, keep pressing it. β
β Then yell out a swear, go to the store manager, and tell them the β
β machine ate your money, they get a coke for you, you thank them, they β
β apologize, you go away to another store, and you do the same thing. If β
β you want the money, then follow the procedures, and when it comes to the β
β store manager, tell them the machine ate your money, and when they say β
β they'll get you a new one, say no, I have to go, I want my money back. β
β Then you get money. β
β β
β A combination of the two is good too. Go to one store, tell them β
β you want a coke, because it ate your money, then go to another store, β
β tell them you want money back, then go to another store, you want coke, β
β another, money, etc. This way, you get coke, and money to get more coke β
β or other things like jewelry for your girlfriend or computer stuff. β
β β
β Another Way : β
β ------------- β
β β
β If the machine only accepts coins, then you're in luck, have I got a β
β ripping job for you! Get a train schedule, go to the rail road tracks 5 β
β minutes before the train comes. Bring loads of nickels, put them on the β
β rail road track. Wait until the train runs them over. You should now β
β see a flat piece of metal in the place of the nickel. Notice how its β
β the same size has a quarter? Now use it. Get 1 can of coke for 15 β
β cents, instead of 75 cents. Oh yeah, if you're not careful, the train β
β might run over you legs, OUCH! So, do becareful out there. β

β So apparently Rebel Chicken's letter to Emily inspired other young β
β chickens (or Elves as the case may be) to write letters via email to β
β THEIR girls, or girls-to-be. Recently on IRC I had Dark-Elf online and β
β he said he had just e-mailed this girl he really liked. Well, that's β
β legit. Then, he asked me to publish it in RCN because he wanted to show β
β his girl how famous he is. Fair enough. So here it is, the unedited, β
β unabridged version. Enjoy. β

β Dear Amy, β
β β
β How's your summer so far? Mine has been good. How has yours been β
β so far? [Getting a tad repetitive here Dark!?] Do you like school? Or β
β do you like going to school? I like going to school because that's β
β where all my friends are. I liked being around you in school. I miss β
β being around you. [Golly gee how sweet!] Well so far this summer. I β
β went to the movies a couple times with my best friend, (Stephen). I β
β went to ultra-zone a lot. I am a role-player at ultra-zone (I am proud) β
β [well sure Dark, I would be too!]. Role-players are the best people at β
β ultra-zone. I have some good places. We are going on vacation on July, β
β 4 1996. We will be gone for 2 weeks to Florida. Maybe we can go to the β
β movies sometime. We could just like meet there at the movie theatre. β
β If you do not want to then don't. Don't say yes because you can't say β
β no [Dark, one thing you will find about women, is that they NEVER say β
β Yes when they mean No!]. Say yes if you mean it. If you know what I β
β mean. If you have a boyfriend now I shall understand. Life's like a β
β box of choclates [pffffft!!!]. You never know what you're going to get. β
β Well this is a little guess into a box of choclates. As to if you would β
β like to spend some time with me [not original but kinda cute I guess!]. β
β If you don't wanna go to movies. We can go to ultra-zone. I shall β
β protect you there [BUAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!]. It will be alot of fun for me β
β wherever we go. If you feel you are in commitment with that farmer guy β
β [ooh, that may have cost you the medal right there!]? Then don't go out β
β with me. Especially a person I don not even know. This letter was β
β semi-hard to write, because I did not know the out come of the β
β reader(You). I tried to give it to you in school but I could not [cuz β
β I'm a whimp]. All these mixed emotions! It's hard being a TeenAge boy β
β [HAHAHAHAAH!!!]. Please don't show this letter to anyone [hmm.. now I'm β
β confused]. If you ask me if you can show it to them then I shall give β
β ya an answer. If PJ wants to read it she can (she is your best friend). β
β She really does not like me as a friend though. I just think me and PJ β
β think differently. Just wanted her know that. Remember. You mean Yes β
β or You mean No. Gimme an answer tha'ts in your heart for there is an β
β answer to any question in the universe. [roo!?] β
β β
β The time is 1:43am 6-20-96. β
β β
β I write things real late because tha'ts when all my feelings come β
β out. I usually go to sleep earlier though. Hope you feel the same way β
β I do about you as you do me [see comments below!]. If you don't then β
β say now. It will be ok. If you do please tell me. β
β β
β Love, β
β Dark-Elf β

β β
β My my my... MYYYYY my my. MYYYYYYYYYYY my my my! Well Dark-Elf, I β
β really hope for the best. Hope being the key word in that sentence. So β
β I have a few things to say. First of all, how the FUCK are you going to β
β "protect" Amy at ultra-zone!? Second, what IS ultra-zone!? Third, next β
β time you write a girl a letter, run it through one of the RCN Editors β
β first, we'll fix all the grammar ;-). And lastly, let me just comment β
β on the sentence "Hope you feel the same way I do about you as you do β
β me." There's a very important thing when writing a letter to a girl for β
β the first time. You HAVE to make sure that the romantic part of the β
β letter says exactly what you meant for it to say. The small-talk β
β doesn't matter too much, it just burns space on the paper, it's the β
β leading action, but your climax can't say something you didn't mean for β
β it to. Let me first explain what that sentence means, in reality. It β
β means that you hope she feels the same things you feel for her as she β
β "does" your or, as your average girl would understand, as she has sex β
β with you. My my my, on a first letter, this is NOT what you want to β
β say! So next time, write something more to the effect of "I hope you β
β feel the same way about me as I feel about you." Anyway, good luck, and β
β remember, our thoughts are with you. Uh oh. β

β A week has passed and here's Amy's reply! β
β β
β Dear Paul (Dark-Elf), β
β β
β I'm doing fine. I have to tell you I was quite surprised when I β
β read you letter. Thank you for being so completely honest with me. It β
β makes things much easier; so I owe it to you to be completely honest. I β
β don't really have a commitment with farmer Michael. The way we left β
β things it was unsaid. I don't have a boyfriend right now. Paul, I like β
β you a lot as a friend. I know you hate hearing that. I think you're β
β funny, sweet, and cute, but not just that way. I would, however, like β
β to hang out with you sometime. Going to the movies would be fun. I'm β
β not saying yes because I can't say no and I'm giving you the answer that β
β is in my heart. I think it is equally hard being a teenage girl. I do β
β love the way you write letters. You are very funny (in a good way). I β
β really had no idea you felt that way. Please write me back and tell me β
β your feelings on all of this. β
β β
β Love, β

β Dark-Elf.. my my my!! Well what can I say? You've expected the β
β unexpected and it happened! So she's not in love with you but she wants β
β to go out. Now do you have the balls to ask her?! Hey, that's a better β
β reply than what Rebel Chicken got when he wrote Emily! β

β β " QUOTES! " β The results of our hard work, often loss and pain, are β

β Sitting in the dark, β
β the imagination starts to work. β
β All those dark and hideous thoughts begin to appear. β
β They show their grotesque faces in two forms. β
β One is pure hatred, the other is love. β
β You scream into the dark but no one can hear you. β
β You try to scream again, but no sounds comes out. β
β You look around, but cannot see a thing, β
β for everyone and everything has gone and left you. β
β Alone. - Nevesis β

β RCN is proud to present to the scene the official RCN t-shirt. We β
β tried to keep the price as low as we could so that everyone can enjoy β
β these goodies. Keeping with RCN's volunteerish spirit to help the scene, β
β Road Rebel has decided to take it upon himself to make the RCN t-shirts β
β available to the masses. This is a non-profit venture and we hope that β
β in many ways, RCN continues to benefit the scene.. even when we are not β
β near our computers. β
β β
β β The RCN logo is approximately 8"x6" printed on the back of a β
β HEAVY-duty Fruit of the Loom white t-shirt, the front is plain. β
β β
β β A preview of the shirt can viewed upon pressing escape. β
β β
β β Special orders take up to 4 weeks for shipping. β

β β
β The new update to the Reality Check Network World Wide Web Site, β
β http://www.rcn.org/, adds many new features : β
β β
β β Speed Optimization : RCN.org is now speed optimized, which means β
β you spend less time waiting and more time browsing. β
β β
β β Better Back Issue Access : It's now quick and easy to scan through β
β RCN's back issues, each one has its full description online, to β
β make searching for the desired issue that much easier. β
β β
β β Better Interface : v2.0 brings an end to the confusing β
β conglomeration of pages that previously had existed. Now speed β
β through the icon driven interface to scan back issues of RCN and β
β other emags, send comments, read credits, and check out β
β merchandise and free files. β
β β
β β Text or JAVA Version : Whatever browser you use can now access the β
β RCN.org pages. Before only Netscape was allowed, but now LYNX and β
β other text base users can now access the pages. β
β β
β β New Look Graphics : The new graphics style are a nice change of β
β pace from the hard-edged style of before. β
β β
β To become a file mirror, contact us in #RCN on IRC, you must be able β
β to store all back issues in a publically accessible directory from the β
β WWW. A link will be created from RCN.org to your site, so users can β
β acquire issues from there if the main site becomes overloaded. β
