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

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

╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Dear Rio & Ken, ║
║ ║
║ You are a victim of your own crime. I often tell people in the ║
║ scene that they need to take responsibility for what they do. However, ║
║ in your case, you need also take a closer look at your actions. You ║
║ accuse me of being blind to my actions. I am rarely blind to my ║
║ actions, but I will turn that accusation back on you. Until I made it ║
║ to the end of your letter, I saw a respectable person that had mixed ║
║ emotions about our magazine and had more than enough disagreements with ║
║ our ways. I also saw you as a person that was slightly misinformed as ║
║ to the ways of the FBI. I will, in my reply to you, attempt to clarify ║
║ certain things about my magazine and how it could possibly effect ║
║ you/others in the future. ║
║ ║
║ I write this letter to talk about your magazine, I really think it ║
║ sucks. ║
║ ║
║ Generally I stop right here and laugh, but I respect you for ║
║ providing me with the information of WHY you think it sucks. It is only ║
║ through such explanation that we can get things done. ║
║ ║
║ and the thing is, I'm not the only one. there are many reasons for that, ║
║ and well, I'll start explaining. ║
║ ║
║ Alright, stop right there. I respect you for your opinions and ║
║ commend you on writing to us, but I will not accept your writing as a ║
║ general statement about your friends and others that may agree with you. ║
║ It is up to them to take the initiative and write in for themselves. ║
║ You all know that RCN can post e-mail anonymously as we do on most ║
║ occasions and if it is a safety issue within them, there's their ║
║ response. ║
║ ║
║ may seem really cool from your side (having great publicity), but I ║
║ don't ║
║ ║
║ We don't do it for the publicity. We are smart people and if we ║
║ wanted publicity you would have heard of us in other places by now. ║
║ ║
║ etc...), now as you know the magzine contains a lot of information about ║
║ the scene, and some of it (i just couldnt/cant understand how stupid you ║
║ are to publish all this) even secret shit that is illegal. I'm writing ║
║ this letter t REMIND you that the scene SUPPOSED to be UNDERGROUND, ║
║ about 90% ║
║ ║
║ This is where my accusation to you of being blind applies. I'm ║
║ sorry to break it to you, but the scene USED to be underground. Perhaps ║
║ it is still supposed to be, but it isn't. The Internet has completely ║
║ taken away any secretive aspect of the warez scene. Anybody can log on, ║
║ and it doesn't take too much thinking to join #warez, and when that's ║
║ invite only, try Warez1, Warez2, and sooner or later make your way up to ║
║ a public channel. The scene is anything BUT underground. ║
║ ║
║ of the actions in it is illegal, and that's why publishing magazine like ║
║ yours, is dangrous - for you, for me, for the whole scene. you know, the ║
║ ONLY ║
║ ║
║ Again you are being blind. Perhaps it is denial? You may not know ║
║ it, but big brother IS watching you. I'm sure 5% of most public warez ║
║ channels is made up of FBI agents and NARKS. Did narks only come about ║
║ once RCN started publishing? Hardly. Narks have been around ever since ║
║ the scene began. Do they read RCN to get information about people? ║
║ Perhaps you would like to think so, but that is a naive statement. ║
║ ║
║ Carter, but as I'm thinking, I'm conclusing that your magazine is ║
║ exactly like Chris Carter, you're a big source of infomation ║
║ ║
║ Though I don't doubt that the FBI computer division assigns ║
║ homework, and that reading RCN is definitely a part of it, I really ║
║ doubt that an organization that big needs help from a few teenagers. ║
║ Furthermore, if you're going to accuse RCN of providing publicity for ║
║ the "secret" and "totally underground" hangout spots on the Internet, ║
║ you will be accusing every group NFO file of doing the same. DOD, PWA, ║
║ Razor, Prestige, they all publish their group channel in their warez. ║
║ ║
║ I think its already happend once with DRAPPER's site (I cant accuse ║
║ you or any1 but you know you were involved and as I see it you have a ║
║ good chance of being the cause to all of this). all I'm suggesting is, ║
║ if you wanna ║
║ ║
║ I will not get into another argument about Drapper's site. I will ║
║ only revamp the data in my defense and show you how absurd, and again, ║
║ naive, you must be, to think that RCN had any involvement in the busting ║
║ of Drapper's site, and furthermore, how Drapper really just used us as a ║
║ scapegoat. Just to remind a few of us, Drapper accused RCN's publishing ║
║ of the NAME of his site and the University that it was running under, to ║
║ be the source of his bust. Drapper got busted 30 minutes after the ║
║ publication of RCN, and at that time, it was 9:30 pm in his area. This ║
║ means that the MIT staff would have gotten RCN immensely faster than ║
║ even boards like Park Central or Malevolence, read it, found the ║
║ Warez-IQ topic, gotten the question right, chased out of their hut, gone ║
║ to the City Hall, gotten a search warrant, meaning they assumed RCN to ║
║ be a REPUTABLE SOURCE, gotten in their cars, hopped back to Drapper's ║
║ dorm, and cuffed him, mind you all this at 9:30 pm, and last I checked, ║
║ City Hall doesn't stay open much past 6. ║
║ ║
║ a tragedy and a crime. I persoanlly would like to nuke you all for this ║
║ bullshit u're doing. I'm in rapier, and I read the GODS-MEETING-LOG, and ║
║ as a matter of fact I really didnt care what they said there, the thing ║
║ ║
║ Goes to show you how you should screen your members a little better, ║
║ doesn't it? ║
║ ║
║ execept this, you have shits like UNupdated .nfo's (that reminds me, I ║

║ ║

║ ║
║ Again you're being blind. Up top you published your name, now you ║
║ tell us not to publish it? I think you're so confused that you don't ║
║ even know if you like RCN or not. You want to get publicity, but you ║
║ think it might get you busted. You REALLY need to take responsibility ║
║ for yourself, sir! ║
║ ║
║ little hi's for some friends if I can : ║
║ ║
║ Wait wouldn't that be dangerous? Because we're narks, right? Gee ║

║ ║
║ Rio & Ken, you really need to rethink your position in your letter ║
║ to me. I think you're just scared and confused. The scene isn't what ║
║ it was a few years ago, it's not nearly as underground as it used to be. ║
║ Then, once you're done pondering that, think about this. Did people not ║
║ get busted before RCN? Of course they did. So what's different? ║
║ People have always gotten busted, and they did then just as much as they ║
║ do now. The only difference is that now you have someone to tell you ║
║ about it. Let's see, Demaxxus, Anarchist, Endokuken, Dr. Jekyll, ║
║ Brawley, and several others. ║
║ ║
║ How many of the people I mentioned do you know? Because for every ║
║ one you didn't, it's one that would have gotten busted without RCN and ║
║ you would never have known it. RCN reports on busts. RCN reports on ║
║ groups. RCN does't bust people, nor does it kill groups. ║

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

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

║ I'm sorry to see you were made victim to him as well. RCN hoped ║
║ that in revealing his information, he might get scared, but you guys ║

║ Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that before people talk shit about ║

║ of the ppl in the scene today that CAME from AOL, such as Nytemyst and ║
║ MGD. Although MGD is a conceited fuck, he is still considered "elite" ║
║ because he has no life and is a little net-monkey who can't call boards ║
║ AND he sucks up to ppl who he thinks have status or can BENEFIT HIM. ║
║ Well that's my 2 cents. Peace, keep up the good work on the mag. ║

║ The bug has been fixed, our genius coder does make mistakes ║
║ sometimes (geeze you should see him drive), and he had the variable ║

║ protected mode. How do you do that and what type of software do you ║
║ use? I am trying to find some libs, but they all say "register me" or ║
║ die after thirty days, and of course, I read your emag, so do you really ║
║ think I'd register anything? ║
║ ║
║ Anyway, forward it to Xenon, and give me a reply. Oh, by the way, I ║
║ wouldn't mind having the source for your game. If I can't, I wouldn't ║
║ mind having chunks of it, like the animation part or the hit detection ║
║ part or the sound (I especially need sound). If you are using some ║
║ prepacked library can you tell me the URLs or mail 'em to me. ║
║ ║
║ By the way, I think your mag is one of the coolest codes I've ever ║

║ screw protected mode. RCN runs off of a built-in overlay file. The ║

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

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

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

║ Dear RCN, ║

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

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

║ Does that make them think that they are "elite?" I came into the scene ║

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

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

║ and buy it for themselves so they can play single player. We also ║
║ have some fairly innovative protection schemes to stop at least ║
║ the casual hackers. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Such as? ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : I have not seen a fully working crack, most of them are ║
║ incomplete. They don't work multi-player, you can't load save ║
║ games, certain scenarios aren't in, etc. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Hybrid was first to release WarCraft 2. However, their version ║
║ was not fully operational. It took them three days to get out a ║
║ version with full network and scenario options. In this time, do ║
║ you think they were getting rid of the "innovative protection ║
║ schemes?" ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : Well, first off we need to clarify something here. We realize we ║
║ are never going to release an uncrackable game. Our main goal is ║
║ to stop the casual copiers. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : I personal have not used the Hybrid crack, yet some people claim ║
║ that it breaks up in Internet games or sometimes does not run at ║
║ all. Could this be intent or merely coincidence? ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : It's our intent, I have yet to see a fully 100% crack of a cracked ║
║ copy of the game. I've seen a 97.98%, maybe 99% functioning, ║
║ however, there are so many places in the code that would have to ║
║ be altered that it would probably only become with it to those ║
║ people that feel they're on a mission from God to crack games. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Recently, id Software's Quake Beta 3 was released by ROR (Release ║
║ on Rampage). They claim to have members who are part of id ║
║ Software. This version of Quake had included nearly everything ║
║ but id Software has yet to release it in stores. Does Blizzard ║
║ have problems with such leeks? ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : Well, as I understand it, ROR claims they released the full ║
║ version of Quake but it really only a beta-stage testing version ║
║ of Quake. There are still a lot of bugs and there is no network ║
║ play. When we were doing WarCraft 2, a pre-release (magazine ║
║ only) alpha was leaked to the Internet, and was all over the place ║
║ very quickly. Since then, we've serialized all our alphas and ║
║ betas we have sent out and haven't had any similar problems. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : The beta release of WarCraft 2 was all over the Internet very ║
║ quickly, and is nothing like the final version. What is ║
║ Blizzard's feelings on the WarCraft 2 beta or unfinished products ║
║ in general. ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : Well, the alpha release (a beta release is something released for ║
║ actual testing, the alpha release was just to show off the game to ║
║ some magazines) was very incomplete and didn't give a very good ║
║ picture of the game at all. Our main problem with them is that ║
║ people will get them, and get erroneous messages 50 to 90% of the ║
║ time. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : If and when Diablo and StarCraft hits the pirate scene, is ║
║ Blizzard going to do anything to prevent it? ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : We're never going to be able to completely prevent piracy. ║
║ However we can stem the tide, and make it so it's actually easier ║
║ to buy the game than it is to go threw all the hassle of pirating ║
║ it. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : A new addition to Blizzard games "Battle.Net" will be implemented ║
║ in upcoming releases such as Diablo and StarCraft. What is ║
║ "Battle.Net" going to have to protect from piracy? ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : Not all of that has been finalized, and some of it can't be ║
║ released to the public. But, it will be transparent to legitimate ║
║ users. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : When is Diablo planned for release? ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : Diablo will be out some time this summer. ║
║ ║
║ RCN : Thank you for your time and I hope to see more releases from ║
║ Blizzard in the future. ║
║ ║
║ BLZ : You will. Thank you. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ There is a 100% fully cracked version of WarCraft 2 available for ║
║ pirates. This version included the WarCraft 2 Expansion Set and was ║
║ skillfully cracked and released by Razor 1911 in only 14 disks. Thanks ║
║ go out to Razor 1911 for making the game piratable, and thanks go out to ║
║ Blizzard for making the game.. uh.. piratable. ║

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

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

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

║ RTS : Well ever since summer hit, RTS hasn't been doing much. Soon ║
║ after the work of the council and I start our re-organizing we ║

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

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

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

║ to courier the file around on IRC and since I don't think he did a very ║
║ good job, I'll publish it here to joggle your memory. Then, I will ║
║ explain to you why Daniel is full of it here. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ The truth about the "Carter" incident, from someone caught in the ║
║ middle, by Sargon. ║
║ ║
║ When RCN #19 was released, the most important issue was the one on ║
║ Carter's "info." The info given out by RCN was completely wrong. This ║
║ was not in any way RCN's fault. Apparently some local to Daniel, who ║
║ was an enemy of his, started spreading Daniel's info around to a few ║
║ people, saying it was Carter's. Eventually, a bunch of these sources ║
║ got to RCN and gave them the info. This is where they got the "many ║
║ sources" thing. ║
║ ║
║ Sorry, but you're wrong. RCN's many sources were mainly victims of ║
║ Carter's that sent us the screen captures of the letters. It was mostly ║
║ useful because we got information regarding where you were sending mail ║
║ from. The information about you directly was given by one source and ║
║ one source alone, and that source will be kept anonymous unless desiring ║
║ not to in the future. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ RCN then called Daniel, and talked to him, pretending to be from ║
║ some piracy organization. Daniel then started cracking up at the name ║
║ Chris Carter. ║
║ ║
║ Well you could say that. It sounded more like a cry being passed ║
║ off as a laugh to me, he really took a double take on that name. He was ║
║ scared, and I don't think normal people get randomly scared at that ║
║ name. Besides, I had named funnier names than Chris Carter before that, ║
║ I said "Michael Jackson" and Chris Carter would have been dull ║
║ comparatively. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ I happen to know that Daniel was stoned out of his mind that night, ║
║ explaining the "laughing fits" RCN described. He found it funny because ║
║ Chris Carter happens to be the producer of the X-Files, a show he ║
║ obsessively watches. ║
║ ║
║ Are you trying to plead insanity? If he were stoned, he would have ║
║ laughed when I told him I was calling from a software piracy ║
║ organization. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ As for him acting paranoid, wouldn't you, if someone from a "piracy ║
║ organization" called you at 3 in the morning harassing you? I also ║
║ happen to know he IS a newbie, because I introduced him to the Internet, ║
║ and he knows jack shit. ║
║ ║
║ Excuse me, but a guy that's new to the Internet doesn't know all ║
║ that much about warez and frankly generally doesn't know IRC, much less ║
║ be able to spot out commands to me like "/whois" over the phone and say ║
║ "EOF From client" without reading it off of a piece of paper. This guy ║
║ definitely knows what he's doing. Not to mention he also named, without ║
║ my help, channels such as #fATEfiles, #Warez950, and #m8leech. Just ║
║ knowing #fATEfiles shows he's been around longer than he said on the ║
║ phone (he said 7 days) because #fATEfiles changed its name to #Exceed a ║
║ long time ago. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ He hangs out on #Sexpics all day trading PORN. He is a lamer, ║
║ simple as that. ║
║ ║
║ I don't care how embarassed a guy would be to admit that he hangs ║
║ out in #Sexpics, if this guy were half as afraid as you describe him to ║
║ be, he would have quickly said that to refute ever having traded warez. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ As for the "evil hacker warez pup nig" or whatever, that's where I ║
║ fit in. I DO have his password, and I do have his account. When Daniel ║
║ kept going "hmm, uhmm.." after he was asked a question, he was being ║
║ SARCASTIC people. If you can't tell the difference between sarcastic ║
║ and real, you should go to the doctor. ║
║ ║
║ Haha that's a funnier excuse than the drugs one! Look first you ║
║ tell me he was scared and then you're telling me he felt comfortable ║
║ enough to be sarcastic? I think you yourself are more gullible than ║
║ your description of RCN. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Symantec is believed to be a Carter account because there is a lame ║
║ leech bot that comes from Symantec, suspected to be Carter's. None of ║
║ his parents work for Symantec, and he doesn't either. He's 14 years ║
║ old. ║
║ ║
║ Daniel, next time you get accused of something you're guilty of and ║
║ you try to publish a file acting like an evil friend try doing a better ║
║ job of reading the text you're arguing against. Symantec was merely a ║
║ return address that Chris was spotted on a few times. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ He happens to be a Christian (lame :>), who makes good grades and ║
║ all that goody goody shit. He is not a LOSER that sits on the Internet ║
║ all day trying to scare warez pups half to deat, and getting people such ║
║ as Dr. Jekyll in trouble. Yes, there are people with better things to ║
║ do. I know Daniel personally, and know that he is a LAMER, and wasn't ║
║ even around when Carter was in his prime. He was still calling local ║
║ BBSs on his Macintosh. I talked on the phone with Rebel Chicken and ║
║ Daniel, and Rebel Chicken even admitted himself that he didn't believe ║
║ Carter was Daniel. ║
║ ║
║ Hahaha Chris Carter wasn't on drugs when I called him but I really ║
║ think you were when you wrote this! What do you think we're stupid or ║
║ something? I called Rebel Chicken, in extreme awe, and of course he ║
║ told me he never spoke with you voice. Come on man, if you're going to ║
║ lie, do it in a less obvious manner! ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ He is simply a victim of an evil prank. How would you react to ║
║ having your info posted as IRC's most hated person? ║
║ ║
║ Do you really want to know? I'd be on IRC cussing everybody out and ║
║ doing a hell of a lot more than Daniel has been doing. I think Daniel ║
║ thought for a change and figured out he'd be better off staying quiet ║
║ and just writing this one file hoping people would just forget about it. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Daniel does not deserve this shit, he is some lame innocent newbie ║
║ whose purpose to get on the net is to get porn. The ironic thing is, I ║
║ happen to know someone who has Carter's REAL info. We 3-way'ed him ║
║ about a month back, here is basically how the conversation went : ║
║ ║
║ <Carter> Hello? ║
║ ║
║ <Sargon> Is this Carter? ║
║ ║
║ <Carter> Who are you? ║
║ ║
║ <Sargon> It doesn't matter ║
║ ║
║ <Carter> How did you get my info?? ║
║ ║
║ <Friend> Hey mother fucker ║
║ ║
║ <Carter> Oh.. it's you! If my info gets out, I will have you busted. ║
║ ║
║ Hahaha now I'm really laughing. Alright let me explain something to ║
║ you. Daniel told me that he is currently not allowed to use his ║
║ computer because his parents locked it up in a room due to his grades ║
║ falling. Do grades fall because a guy is online trading porno? I don't ║
║ think so. We all know that grades fall because of warez, in fact RCN ║
║ published an article about it a while back. Daniel slipped up too many ║
║ times to come back with any excuses right now. First he said he'd been ║
║ on the Internet for about 7 days, then he said his grades dropped. ║
║ What, he got a report card so soon? That's amazing. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Carter sounded about 18 years old, medium pitched voice. Not 14, ║
║ with a high squeaky voice, like Daniel. If you doubt my credibility, I ║
║ have been on IRC for 2+ years, I am an op on #Oldwarez, and everyone I ║
║ know is aware of the fact that I would not lie about something like ║
║ this. I share the account, why the hell would I share an account with ║
║ Carter? =) To summarize, this whole thing was just some lame prank, ║
║ that was taken too seriously by everyone. The source started at one ║
║ person, then spread, eventually got to RCN, and now is everywhere. Just ║
║ goes to show you what one prankster can do. ║
║ ║
║ Signed, ║
║ sargon (Intrepid/Covin) ║
║ ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ Alright now my turn. To summarize. Upon calling Daniel, at 3 am ║
║ his time, he was sleeping and was just waking up to my call as I talked ║
║ him into waking up. As soon as I mention warez he tries to use his ║
║ "friend" as an excuse, and then he majorly slips up. He said that he ║
║ was actually on the phone with his friend when I called and he switched ║
║ over with call waiting. Then somehow the excuse turned into a 3-way ║
║ conversation at the end when I notified him that my "research department ║
║ was working on tracing the other conversation." Daniel did what your ║
║ average guy would do while denying involvement. Unfortunately, he ║
║ didn't think fast enough at this late time of the night and each new ║
║ excuse ran over the last. ║
║ ║
║ Furthermore, soon after publishing RCN #19, a guy came into the ║
║ channel saying we had the wrong guy. I was scared, of course, because I ║
║ didn't want to make such a grave mistake. Of course, after doing a bit ║
║ more searching, I found out that this guy in the channel was actually ║
║ Chris Carter/Daniel Schlegel on another account. ║
║ ║
║ Oh by the way Daniel, smart move in changing your answering machine ║
║ message from "Hi this is Daniel, etc." to the generic "Please leave a ║
║ message at the tone" computer voice. First smart thing you've done in ║
║ the whole incident. ║
║ ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

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

║ even when it was not yet cracked. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <Incarnate> Fuck is it already uploaded? ║
║ ║
║ <PForm> Incarnate, there is no point in releasing it now. We lost. ║
║ ║
║ <Incarnate> NO, IS IT UPLOADED? ║
║ ║
║ <PForm> Ionizer said yes. ║
║ ║
║ <[MMan]> We need to crack it. ║
║ ║
║ <PForm> Incarnate, Eck is still uploading it. Eck still needs to crack ║
║ it. ║
║ ║
║ <Dealer> I'd crack it later if I were you. ║
║ ║
║ <Incarnate> We can throw the damn cracked EXE in the ZIP. It's already ║
║ uploaded. ║
║ ║
║ <PForm> Then what the fuck are you waiting for? GO UPLOAD IT TO ║
║ SITES!!! ║
║ ║
║ <Wicked> Are you guys sure they cracked it? They might be just ║
║ uploading without the crack. ║
║ ║
║ <Incarnate> WE DON'T HAVE THE CRACKED EXE. ║
║ ║
║ <Skatman> Oh my god!!! ║
║ ║
║ <PForm> I heard it's a bitch to crack. ║
║ ║
║ <Incarnate> It IS a bitch. ║
║ ║
║ <MMan> They could be uploading BULLSHIT! ║
║ ║
║ <Incarnate> I feel sorry for Eck. ║
║ ║
║ <PForm> <Trix> NHL Powerplay is being uploaded as we speak. ║
║ ║
║ <PForm> More games to play? It's not cracked. ║

║ ║
║ <Incarnate> IT ISN'T??? WE STILL HAVE TIME? ║

║ ║
║ <Dealer> Wait! ║
║ ║
║ <Incarnate> Holy hit! Let's get working! ║
║ ║
║ <MMan> We've gotta make a decision. ║

║ <MMan> We still need to crack it! ║

║ <Dealer> I gotta upload it to Beyond Akira! ║

║ BEYOND AKIRA! ║
║ ║
║ <Dealer> DON'T SPREAD IT ON SITES! ║

║ <PForm> GIVE IT TO DEALER! ║
║ ║
║ <MMan> Fine. Someone give it to Dealer. ║
║ ║
║ <Dealer> It has to be on Beyond Akira first. Fuck the crack. I will ║
║ ISDN it to Beyond Akira. ║

║ ║
║ <Skatman> We are releasing it. ║
║ ║
║ <MMan> Yeah man, that's the way to go. Upload every disk except for the ║
║ last one. And that will buy us some time. When Eck has it ║
║ cracked, we will put the crack in the last disk okee? ║
║ ║
║ <Dealer> Good idea, I'll leave the last disk out. ║
║ ║
║ <MMan> Ok, Dealer, upload the first what, 36 disks? ║
║ ║
║ <Skatman> No, 22. ║
║ ║
║ <Dealer> The last disk will have the crack ║
║ ║
║ <Bdeath> I say we need to put the crack in the last disk. ║

║ ║
║ <Bdeath> Ok, what is the release? ║
║ ║
║ <MMan> NHL Powerplay. ║

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

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

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

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

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

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

║ ║
║ [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║

║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║
║ game will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║
║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║
║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║

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

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

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

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

║ News Updates (Sometimes the news can be funny...ok well maybe never,) ║
║ ============ (but it is now, ok?) ║
║ ║
║ Some of you have been wondering how do I manage to get all the games ║
║ released each week and have time to play them and review them. Well, ║
║ it's simple! I own this magic wand called the "Game-o-rizer." What it ║
║ does, is it magically downloads shit at 100 MB/S and then it ║
║ automatically follows the directions in the NFOs and installs them, plays ║
║ them, and then writes about them. See, I don't actually do anything, ║
║ it's all my Game-o-rizer magic wand. And now for a limited time only, ║
║ you too can purchase a Game-o-rizer magic wand for the low price of only ║
║ $1,999. A steal at this low price, it comes in the following colors : ║
║ Green, Red, Blue, White Cum, and Yellow Vaginal Yeast Infection. To ║
║ order, send chicks or babes to "Game-o-rizer," 11 Bullshit Dr., Smokey- ║
║ Air, Los Angeles, California, 90210. Shipping and handling only $50. ║
║ Please allow 2-4 centuries for delivery, as it will be shipped through ║
║ UPS. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────║
║ ║
║ And now from the home office in So-Sue_Me City, Iowa, it's time for ║
║ Ionizer's Top Five List. (I couldn't afford all 10 so I got the half- ║
║ price deal). Please take this section with a laugh and don't be ║
║ offended, it's just a joke. REPEAT: this is merely a joke, it's not ║
║ true, and is meant just for a laugh. ║
║ ║
║ ****TOP FIVE SIGNS TO TELL WHO RELEASED THE GAME YOU DOWNLOADED**** ║
║ ║
║ 5. It's registered Shareware...............................Razor ║
║ 4. Baseball?, sure! Pitch? NO!............................Prestige ║

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

║ ================================ ║
║ ║
║ Just a bunch of .map files to addon to DN3D. Nothing special, a ║

║ Knowing the leader of this group, I thought that this might be a ║
║ bunch of gay games with naked guys, especially since it was "Victor". ║
║ But, I soon found out it was more like Virtual Vallery, but you see the ║
║ robot like guy, Victor, fucking some chick. You can blow her, fuck her ║
║ from behind, on top, or be on the bottom. It's practically just like ║
║ Vallery, you need to gain stamina, by talking to her, fucking her, etc, ║
║ and then you can goo all over her. Graphics pretty good, sound, uhh ║
║ well it's a lot of "uhhh ohh ahh" etc. ║

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

║ Yaaaawnnn... oh excuse me. Yes, still more doom. It's just a bunch ║
║ of new levels once again. Nothing you couldn't just d/l off some lame ║
║ ass SW board and get a million .wads, why pay 50 bucks for it? Again, ║
║ nothing new engine wise, and you really shouldn't bother to get it ║
║ unless your a doom freak. ║

║ Ok now I'm sleeping. Not only am I playing the same game, but I'm ║
║ playing the same levels. However for you dos users, I suggest you just ║
║ get these two for final doom, because this contains all you need and ║
║ nothing more. For more details about it (not like I need to describe ║
║ Doom to you) check out the articles on RZR & PSG's Final Doom. ║

║ A huge war game, and when I say huge, I mean 220+ megs with the ║
║ addon. Once again Napalm ignores the disk limit, it seems like ║
║ everyone's doing it, so what the fuck. This is a detailed war game. ║
║ War, as in future war types, between nations. It has a nice collection ║
║ of maps of the world :). Tons of shit to do in this one, but it's not ║
║ really worth it, unless you like war games and plan to burn this one to ║
║ cd. It's a good quality game though. ║

║ Ok, Ok, I know it was released late, but listen to me, I HAVE BEEN ║
║ DOWNLOADING 24 HOURS A DAY SINCE 06/27 when groups started dumping games ║
║ every half hour and there was a total of 1/2 a gig released in 2 days! ║
║ Because of this, and the always favorite aborted downloads, I was unable ║
║ to review a few games and still get this ou on time. Once again, sorry, ║
║ but they will of course be in next week's issue. I know this ironic ║
║ considering the first thing in the news article, but just shutup and go ║

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

║ Is this a util that is helpful or just sits on a corner of your drive ║
║ collecting dust? 3) Looks. Let's face it, if it looks like shit, it ║
║ probably is shit. And last but not least, 4) Requirements. I for one ║
║ have a boring P100 with 16 MB RAM, I don't want to have to run out to ║
║ CompUSA to get my ass RAM or a freaking DVD drive just to run a program ║
║ I'm not going to use more than once! ║

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

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

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

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

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

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

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ Dear Road Rebel, ║
║ ║
║ First some background, I by nature hate IRCops, period, sure they ║
║ got a job to do, but so do me and my 10 clones. Anyway, I enjoy and use ║
║ smoke's clones whenever I feel it is necessary. I am as careful as ║
║ possible when cloning, making sure to span as many servers as possible, ║
║ and to change nicks, etc. ║
║ ║
║ Anyway, there I was on a normal day, and some guy decides he can ║
║ insult me, well I didn't have any transfers going on so I decided, hell ║
║ let's load up the clones. I load up each one by one, looking for a ║
║ server I'm not k-lined on each time, I'm able to only have 1 clone on ║
║ every server except irc.kern.com. There, I was in my tempClone channel ║
║ watching over them and doing my work, when in pops this dude named ║
║ Moogle, he says "Clones are bad, we no like." I was like get away, and ║
║ kicked him promptly, he pops back in then I whois him noticing he is an ║
║ IRCop, I say fuck off, and he K-lines 2 of my clones, (the ones on ║
║ Kern). ║
║ ║
║ Now I was pissed, what an ass, so I take my 7 remaining clones, ║
║ start an all out attack, go get my 2 k-lined clones on different ║
║ servers, and have them dcc bomb him. And of course he went down, there ║
║ I was laughing it off, then Boom like a gun shot me and each of my 9 ║
║ clones were instantly killed with the message "Don't flood me fucker" or ║
║ something to that effect. ║
║ ║
║ Now I was furious, just cause he managed to type /kill he thinks he ║
║ is hot shit, so I msg him asking what the fuck is up. He starts being a ║
║ total ass, so I start telling him off threatening him. Then all of a ║
║ sudden this happens: ║
║ ║
║ *** oDogg^2 has quit IRC (Killed by Moogle, Threaten me some more, ║
║ fucker) ║
║ ║
║ Now, MAYBE he was warranted to kill K-line my clones, maybe to kill ║
║ them, but killing some one for threatening them sounds an awful lot like ║
║ a #WarezX Channel. Then I try to load up my clones and there are ║
║ k-lines ALL over the place! W ith MSG's like: oDogg^2 You are banned ║
║ from this server : ☼bad_bad_bad_server_stuff. Now what gives an IRCop ║
║ the power to k-line ppl on multiple servers just for threatening, or ║
║ just an isolated (as far as he knows) cloning incident! ║
║ ║
║ Signed, ║
║ Odogg ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Dear Stupid Odoggy Dog, ║
║ ║
║ Well, I have a few things to say about this, first, in the past few ║
║ months I have made it my job to watch IRCops for bad kills, and try to ║
║ get logs to publish and send to their admins. AND in this time I have ║
║ made some opers VERY pissed. Right now, I can only log onto 3 servers, ║
║ I logged on yesterday and found I was k-lined on anarchy for clones???? ║
║ I never ran clones there! The opers do talk, and if you fuck with one ║
║ expect to get fucked all over IRC. ║
║ ║
║ BUT you can do other things to ops to annoy the shit outa them. ║
║ When you see an OP kill someone for clones, message them and tell them ║
║ what a nice kill that was, and how they must feel like a big man now, ║
║ say like "WOW, you typed /KILL <Nick>, you must feel SOO POWERFUL. This ║
║ will almost ALWAYS piss a IRCop off BAD. BUT they have NO RIGHT to kill ║
║ you for this, that wasn't a threat. And you weren't doing ANYTHING ║
║ wrong. If they kill you for that write it up and send it to me. ║
║ ║
║ I once read one of the truest things ever when I started on the ║
║ Internet. I went to the MIRC Homepage and in BIG TYPE it said, STAY ║
║ AWAY FROM OPS THEY ARE THE SCUM OF THE IRC, AND ARE JUST KIDS WITH ║
║ POWER. And I have seen this proven true for about %95 of IRCops. ║
║ ║
║ Signed, ║
║ Road Rebel ║
║ ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ Dear Road Rebel, ║
║ ║
║ IRC, channel operators, and the warez scene. It goes hand in hand, ║
║ yet they clash horribly at times. IRC is obviously great for warez in ║
║ some ways. I would probably never be involved without it, since there ║
║ are none of those 'k-rad elite boards' out here. But shit, IRC brings ║
║ out the lamest in some people, and most ops don't help it at all. I'm ║
║ just kinda writing a list of things that bug me, and why they do. So ║
║ here it is : ║
║ ║
║ <WaReZd0oD> I want Command & Conquer, and Warcraft II, and MS Office ║
║ 95!!! ║
║ ║
║ <Fro> Yeah, I got Command & Conquer, 12 disks, wanna trade? ║
║ ║
║ <WaReZd0oD> Sure!! Do you want a site list?? ║
║ ║
║ <Fro> No, but do you have .A03, A07, and .A16 of Dark Forces? ║
║ ║
║ <WaReZd0oD> What's an .A03 file? ║
║ ║
║ <Fro> Woops! Gotta go!! ║
║ ║
║ This is an extreme example obviously, but still, I've seen stuff ║
║ like this happen. It's more often new guys, who are looking for good ║
║ stuff to trade, but still, take that site list you have, open your damn ║
║ cute FTP, and search through the list. Find one small thing on each ║
║ site you like, and download it. Upload your list, or whatever you ║
║ downloaded from the last site. Share the warez!! ║
║ ║
║ It's really nice when you go out for a pop and you leave a timer in ║
║ your home channel telling everyone that, but when some schmuch types ║
║ /timer 999 60 /me wants Virtual Valerie!! Then the ass leaves his ║
║ computer and goes to sleep. By the time he wakes up, most of the people ║
║ who messaged him will be gone, so he's wasted his time, our time, ║
║ bandwidth, and generally made an ass of himself. ║
║ ║
║ I have on ONE occasion used a timer, it was in #warez666 on ║
║ UnderNet, and it was set at 5 minutes. Everyone who joins the channel ║
║ will likely see that once, and once they've seen it once and said to ║
║ themselves "Nope, I don't have that for him," they just want to get on ║
║ with their trading, not see your request every minute. ║
║ ║
║ There are times you REALLY need some software, or a crack, or ║
║ whatever. But don't put a timer on. Check the fileservers, the XDCC ║
║ lists, and the sites. Then ask, but damn, don't put a timer on! With ║
║ mIRC, just hit the damn up arrow to repeat your last command, and do it ║
║ every couple of minutes randomly. That way, you can make sure your ║
║ message gets out when there is less scrolling text obscuring it. ║
║ ║
║ Ops that don't follow their own rules really bother me. When an op ║
║ starts to flood, repeat, and any of that shit, they don't deserve ops. ║
║ One example last week was an op flooding the channel with his request. ║
║ Ok, so I can put up with that for a few seconds, but he went on and on. ║
║ And his request was fucking for shareware!! Finally, I sent it to him, ║
║ and got a thanks, which was really appreaciated. If you are going to ║
║ make a rule, be prepared to follow it! Same goes to non-ops, follow the ║
║ unwritten channel rules and you will get along just fine. ║
║ ║
║ I'm by no means Elite, nor do I claim to be. I'm an ordinary warez ║
║ leech who passes between 5-15 megs through his computer a day, and is ║
║ sick of all the bullshit that is ruining the scene. When I started ║
║ about 6 months ago, it was bad, but not this bad. Enough bitching, ║
║ great mag! ║
║ ║
║ Signed, ║
║ Fro ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Dear Fro, ║
║ ║
║ Ok, good letter, and good points, BUT.. if you read last week's ║
║ topic for Dear Road Rebel, you would know that topic was on "IRC OPERS" ║
║ not channel operatoers. You know, IRC OPERATORS, the cops of IRC, most ║
║ of them are total cocks with nothing better to do than kill your one ║
║ clone for offering, BUT won't bother to help get a channel back for you. ║
║ ║
║ ALTHOUGH there are exceptions, and some ops have been actually cool, ║
║ this is RARE though. Everyone knows a dickhead op or two, one that ║
║ stands out is a guy named VILE. This prick killed me off winternet.com ║
║ (shitty server anyway) for being a clone. I had NO CLONES LOADED, I ║
║ don't even run clones anymore. I messaged him about five times to ask ║
║ what his fucking problem is, the cocksmoker never answered. That is a ║
║ prick! ║
║ ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ Next Week's Topic : FILESIZE!!! ║
║ ║
║ What do you think the limit should be on a game or util? And will ║
║ you leech the larger files? ║

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

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

║ So apparently Rebel Chicken's letter to Emily inspired other young ║

║ THEIR girls, or girls-to-be. Recently on IRC I had Dark-Elf online and ║

║ legit. Then, he asked me to publish it in RCN because he wanted to show ║

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

║ ║
║ My my my... MYYYYY my my. MYYYYYYYYYYY my my my! Well Dark-Elf, I ║
║ really hope for the best. Hope being the key word in that sentence. So ║
║ I have a few things to say. First of all, how the FUCK are you going to ║
║ "protect" Amy at ultra-zone!? Second, what IS ultra-zone!? Third, next ║
║ time you write a girl a letter, run it through one of the RCN Editors ║
║ first, we'll fix all the grammar ;-). And lastly, let me just comment ║
║ on the sentence "Hope you feel the same way I do about you as you do ║
║ me." There's a very important thing when writing a letter to a girl for ║
║ the first time. You HAVE to make sure that the romantic part of the ║
║ letter says exactly what you meant for it to say. The small-talk ║
║ doesn't matter too much, it just burns space on the paper, it's the ║
║ leading action, but your climax can't say something you didn't mean for ║
║ it to. Let me first explain what that sentence means, in reality. It ║
║ means that you hope she feels the same things you feel for her as she ║
║ "does" your or, as your average girl would understand, as she has sex ║
║ with you. My my my, on a first letter, this is NOT what you want to ║
║ say! So next time, write something more to the effect of "I hope you ║
║ feel the same way about me as I feel about you." Anyway, good luck, and ║
║ remember, our thoughts are with you. Uh oh. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ A week has passed and here's Amy's reply! ║
║ ║
║ Dear Paul (Dark-Elf), ║
║ ║
║ I'm doing fine. I have to tell you I was quite surprised when I ║
║ read you letter. Thank you for being so completely honest with me. It ║
║ makes things much easier; so I owe it to you to be completely honest. I ║
║ don't really have a commitment with farmer Michael. The way we left ║
║ things it was unsaid. I don't have a boyfriend right now. Paul, I like ║
║ you a lot as a friend. I know you hate hearing that. I think you're ║
║ funny, sweet, and cute, but not just that way. I would, however, like ║
║ to hang out with you sometime. Going to the movies would be fun. I'm ║
║ not saying yes because I can't say no and I'm giving you the answer that ║
║ is in my heart. I think it is equally hard being a teenage girl. I do ║
║ love the way you write letters. You are very funny (in a good way). I ║
║ really had no idea you felt that way. Please write me back and tell me ║
║ your feelings on all of this. ║
║ ║
║ Love, ║
║ Amy ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Dark-Elf.. my my my!! Well what can I say? You've expected the ║
║ unexpected and it happened! So she's not in love with you but she wants ║
║ to go out. Now do you have the balls to ask her?! Hey, that's a better ║
║ reply than what Rebel Chicken got when he wrote Emily! ║

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

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