THE BIG PICTURE COURIER REPORT
ISSUE #3
(08/01/99 through 08/07/99)
---------------------------
Introduction:
Another week Another report...
We've (redman & freakshow) decided to start this weekly mag becuase we want to
provide the scene with a true weekly report that brings the pure stats along
with, what we call, "few-line" reviews of each of the major groups.
Our new report, unlike many others, will include 15 sites divided into 3
categories and each category will have its own multiplying
factor (x3,x2 etc.), by doing this we`ll show THE BIG PICTURE of the courier
scene.
In addition, our report will include, every now and then, an article written
by one of the editors or guests and also every now and then interviews
with some big names in the courier scene.
We are doing are best to present this report in a very respectable way and
we hope each and one of our readers will treat this report with the same
respect. We hope you enjoy this report and the ones to come !
Thank you very much
Redman & Freakshow

The Stats:
This is how it works... We have 15 sites broken down into 3 groups.
A Number one position is worth 10 points, Number two 9 points, Number
three 8 points etc. etc. etc.
After calculating the points they are multiplied by the site group multiplyer.
For example if the site REDMAN's FREAKSHOW [RF] is a x3 site
and redfreak finished #1 he will be awarded 10 points wich will be
multiplied by 3, 30 points overall.
The sites are:
X3 - Sxx xH xS Cxx x
X2 - Ex xT Hxx xxL Vxx
X1 - Fx xG xD Tx xxC

RiSC 7.5 7.0
ViCE 8.5 7.5
AMNESiA:
Freakshow: Well... The fact they have only 1 ranking courier in the top 20
can about sum up this week. SiNs is carrying AMN on his shoulders
right now and usually in such a situation a courier either gives
up and loses motivation or jumps ship. The problem is right now
I really dont see who can back SiNs up especially with bizzybone
quitting. Looking bad for this group...
Overall: 4.0
Redman: err hello? earth to caserd? when the hell are we gonna see anyone
other than sins trading for this group? a small showing from
bizzybone but he jumped ship for aod(smart move) so they are
left with not alot to go on
Overall: 4.0
AOD:
Freakshow: Such a huge list of couriers and such a bad performance. With
Darkwolf and bohnz coming back this week the excuses are over.
Something in AOD just isnt working lately. Even the Machine
called Faith slowed up a bit this week and his partner in F & F
Productions only pulls a decent result. AOD does have a few good
things going for them and a few surprises for the scene... This
is definitly just a temporary situation.
Overall: 4.5
Redman: this group is perhaps the most intimidating group of all simply
because they have so *many* traders at their disposal..
unfortunately most of those traders at on vacation right now
so it's just f&f holding the group in the top 5
Overall: 5.0
DEVOTiON:
Freakshow: Finally, godbless is back. This guy is as awesome as usualy and
owned #1 spot. He got some impressive assistance from the pre
division <G> jaydee/tc/garoto and even mgd, who has recently
confessed his gayness, moved some meggage. Devotion is back in
town, bigtime.
Overall: 9.5
Redman: wow, godbless is back and he wanted people to know it. #1 trader
for this week, and with plenty of backup from prewhores, dev is
back on top. they have a lot more resources that we aren't
seeing, and thats scary =(
Overall: 9.0
RiSC:
Freakshow: Psedo and Flavor have been weektoping for a quite a while but
this week, with a contribution from brain, they managed to pull
great results and top AOD and AMN. Great work by RiSC and I for
one am happy to see them back in the competition. I really do
hope they can keep this up.
Overall: 7.5
Redman: i don't normally review them because, well because they usually
suck. surprisingly they managed to pull off 3rd spot in the group
ranking largely thanks to psedo's die hard 31337 trading skeelz.
brain proxied and flavor did whatever it is that he does and all
in all i'd say they had a pretty good week.
Overall: 7.0
ViCE:
Freakshow: How long could they keep such a performance up ? Well I think
they really havent slowed down that much, just calmed down a bit.
The fearsome threesome still owning alot of spots in the top 10
and getting Vice very good results all over the sites but only
enough to come second this week. Looking good for the ViCE boys.
Lets see if they could get #1 next week, like mrp would say,
ENCORE UNE FOiS :)
Overall: 8.0
Redman: couldn't make it 3 in a row, but they still came out at #2. no
traders in the top 5 which was a big surprise, and not a pleasant
one. #2 with very few pres is very good, but they're gonna have
to step it up again if they want to stay there.
Overall: 7.5
--- Final Comments: -----------
We hope this issue was to your liking and we will do our best to keep
on improving it. Feel free to msg freakshow or redman on irc and tell us
your comments and suggestions.
We would also appreciate it if couriers would take the time to rank their 15
top sites and send those ranking to one of the TBP staff. We are sorry for
not releasing on Sunday this week but sometimes things dont work out 100% :)
Thanks for reading, Till next week !
