An open letter to Dynastry   by Zylon

AN OPEN LETTER ON DYNASTY'S LAME BEHAVIOUR TO ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED: We have enough. The members of Dynasty/Vortex/Blacklash and so on are leeching our release, rip them down and re-release them in the past about two days later. But in memory of the thousands of dupe releases in the German scene, we thought nothing about it. Only that we are just two days faster and this groups cannot get the releases as fast as we can... But now with our six disk release of DIE SIEDLER II we have enough! All Zylon releases are using from now on steganographic techniques to hide data in audio and video files. If steganographic is not applyable we will patch single chars (e.g. a comma will become a point, a capitalized letter will become non-capitalized and so on...) But the SIEDLER II story so far: Yesterday morning we got the final SIEDLER II sales release from one of our suppliers. (BTW: the real suppliers were never metioned in our .NFO 'cause they are working at game companies or big distributors... That's why Mainframe our Scythe is usualy listed as the supplier) We packed the full CD (about 17 disk - don't remember exaclty), and just deleted the big intro thereafter. And voila the game runs perfeclty. Writing file_id.diz and zylon.nfo and pumped the game in our WHQ - let the journey begin. Six disk for a long awaited game in less that 15 minutes... We were satisfied. BUT... But then Speedlock (Sysop of our WHQ) started uploading our six disk release to the Cryptic Slaughter. He did not complete the upload due to a lack of time. There was no Dynasty release of SIEDLER II online at this point. 10 Minutes later Maverick of Dynasty called Speedlock's board (The Lighthouse) and leeched the last disk. In the next hour Speedlock completed the upload of our release. And still no Dynasty release was there. On the next day Speedlock called a board in Haburg and what came to his eyes: A Dynasty release of SIEDLER II (five disks). How lame. They leeched our full release (only the intro was ripped out in our release - not a single bit more) and ripped some more stuff and re-released DIE SIEDLER II. One disk smaller - just like their dicks. Boy, Dynasty are a really a poor bunch of lame jerks... I think mommy has to pay there phonebill and they cannot afford to buy a single game - don't thinking of suppliers. Maybe they have built an altar for Zylon by now... (Oh great masters thanks for letting us rip down your real c00l stuff.) Maybe we should get them some babes, so that they must not longer sit in front of their machine, with the hands on their dicks while getting pics from alt.binaires.pictures.erotica.amateur.female for their sexual needs. Okay - I'm stopping the polemic right here - You can think of the rest. They are not worthy... The same story happend a few times in the last months. We know that Vortex has leeched our releases and re-released some smaller ones. That's okay for us, because everyone can see that ZYLON was first as usual! And if a group does not have any suppliers it fine when they are only re-releasing smaller versions. But our stuff is always playable with full fun - A full entertaining release is more important than the smallest size. Our time is limited, we have to work and not a whole day time for releasing stuff. TO THE DYNASTY/VORTEX/BLACKSLASH AND SO: If you are leeching our releases and re-release a smaller version mention ZYLON in your NFO as a supplier and everything is fine for us. Don't try to get the credits - it's impossible. The scene knows were the stuff comes from. As mentioned in the beginning. We are now starting to use steganographic technquies for authenticy proof beginning with our next releases on Monday. So mention ZYLON as your Supplier and we will live in peace. There's no need for a war in our sight - there are a lot of release for all of us, but we are well prepared for a war... DO NOT REPLY BECAUSE: - Every reply is a confession of your guilty and lameness. - We do not care about your thoughts at all. - We will watch your releases and let the scene know when this happens again. - The scene knows where the stuff came from - all your statements are futile.
