║ ║
║ 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've been around for nearly three years now. No, I have never been ║
║ "elite k-rad kick-ass d00d," but I did run a small warez board for ║
║ around 2 years. I recently closed it so I could play games (har har ║
║ har). The only good games I've played recently are of course, games ║
║ like Duke3D, Quake, etc. But my best memories are with those games from ║
║ '93 and such. ║
║ ║
║ What is it with game programmers, these days? They seem to enjoy ║
║ taking a camera, walking down the block, burning the film on a CD, ║
║ adding a keyboard handler, package. Oh sure, I would probably do the ║
║ same thing if I wanted to make money. ║
║ ║
║ And that's what you get: 50, 60 even over 70 disks. Most of the ║
║ time, and I'm sure a lot of you will agree on this, there's no more than ║
║ 2 disks of actual programming/playable shit. ║
║ ║
║ Really, the size is relevant of only one factor. How good is the ║
║ intro? How many times did you start a game, look at the intro for about ║
║ 5 minutes while drooling all over your crotch to find out the game is a ║
║ VGA, 16 color piece of junk? ║

║ Dear Spock, ║
║ ║
║ After extensive research over a long period of time by a top-notch ║
║ team of scientists, we have come to the conclusion that, no, playing the ║
║ Space Invaders game under the influence of narcotics does NOT cause ║
║ breast cancer. ║

║ Dear Xenon, ║
║ ║
║ Well, Xenon! How are you? I've been trying to reach you, but it ║
║ seems you are quite a busy dude. So, I took the liberty to write in RCN ║
║ so that everyone may share the common good of knowledge. As people may ║
║ well know, I am a currently a writer for RCN. However, I am also a ║
║ coder. It has taken me quite some time (about 1 and a half years) to ║
║ perfect some coding that is similar to Xenon's code. I do not steal ║
║ your code, (how would I?) but I have created my own. Anyways, I have a ║
║ smooth scroller just like yours, etc. Basically, I can dish out ║
║ whatever you can except you do this RCN stuff in C++/ASM/Pascal and I ║
║ only code in pascal/ASM so far yet. ║
║ ║
║ I am not writing this to brag. I am writing this to find out how on ║
║ Earth do you keep your code clean, organized and functioning??? I ║
║ imagine with all these menus, text files, it is a bitch. I know how to ║
║ make menus and scroll text files, and to tell you the truth, lightbar ║
║ menus (the ones you have) take me quite some time to make and the text ║
║ files take time to organize and to display in $b800. After all, my code ║
║ isn't optimized, but it takes me a while to make and it is fairly a good ║
║ size. I am confused. Please share how you keep all this organized. ║
║ And one more thing, please, tell me how to display a VGA screen (a ║
║ picture like the one ending RCN) AND keeping the picture data inside the ║
║ code. No, I do NOT want to attach the picture data to the end of the ║
║ exe but if that is the only way, tell me. Again, thanks for the help ║
║ and thanks for inspiring me to become a coder. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ Just thought I'd write you guys to express a few of my opinions. ║
║ First, your mag rocks! The music, code, the interface, they're the ║
║ best, but over the last few issues, RCN seems to be taking me longer, ║
║ and longer to read. I found myself unzipping the file at 10:30 PM ║
║ tonight, and when I finihed reading the mag, it was 11:41 PM. What I'm ║
║ trying to say is maybe you should go more for quality rather than ║
║ quantity. I find a lot of your group interviews are more or less the ║
║ same in content, and I'll probably be skipping most of them in the ║
║ future. ║
║ ║
║ Next, that fucking space invaders game. I spent 10 minutes playing ║
║ it, and got 3000 points and I said screw this. You really want me to ║
║ play for half an hour to get to 10000 points!? Hehe, I guess I'll just ║
║ have to try and live without knowing what's in those secret articles, or ║
║ maybe someone will release another space invaders crack :-). ║
║ ║
║ Last, what ever happened to Defacto? It seems they couldn't handle ║
║ the pressure, or are they STILL waiting on this miracle interface? I'd ║
║ say it's probably the first option! ║
║ ║
║ Okay well that's about all from me, keep up the good work, and death ║
║ to all IRCOPS!! ║

║ ║
║ Dear Darkman, ║
║ ║
║ We don't expect everybody to read the entire mag, just read the ║
║ parts that most interest you, and you will have a much more enjoyable ║
║ experience. We understand that we can't please everybody, but in trying ║
║ to do so, there will always be something that others don't like. So ║
║ read what interests you, there's a ton of stuff in the mag, read what ║
║ you're most interested in, and then, print out the entire mag and read ║
║ the parts that don't interest you as much while sitting on the toilet ║
║ taking a shit. As for Defacto, they just released their "Goodbye ║
║ Defacto" issue, so I guess it's another one gone down the drain. Oh ║
║ well. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ Hi, my name is Eraser. Most of you people don't know me, probably ║
║ because I changed my nick and I am not in any groups anymore. I am ║
║ writing an article about what odogg^2 wrote about. IRC ops and their ║
║ power. Personally, I have talked to a couple IRC ops that were kewl, ║
║ but some are just assholes, because they can play god on IRC. Prae, ║
║ kern.com's owner has been an IRC op for 15 years. Don't ya think he ║
║ should find something else to do besides playing on IRC for 15 years? ║

║ Waynekerr, I thought your info in RCN #19 on FTPing was VERY ║
║ interesting and helpful. With the CHMOD 777 command it turns everything ║
║ on (writeable, readable, etc). Is there a way to turn just each one on? ║
║ Also, is there a way to turn them off (writeable in particular)?? These ║
║ commands will be VERY helpful in my maintaining an ftp site (a ║
║ 'borrowed' one, if you will). Also, these commands will keep lamers ║
║ from deleting filez :). Thanks a BUNCH for any help, and be sure to ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ When sysops join groups and want there board to be a distro/HQ and ║
║ they don't have telnet, what does that mean then? Basically all it ║
║ means is that you get access to the FTP sites and have ops in the ║
║ channel. Why don't bigger groups have more long distance couriers to ║
║ support the boards or have a few local members because being a boards ║
║ distro really doesn't mean as much like in the long distance days. ║
║ ║
║ Before many new lame groups pop up everyday and die out, the bigger ║
║ more powerful groups used to support the system. I don't mean they have ║
║ to upload 300 megs a week long distance but 50 megs or more would be ║
║ nice, just to show you care. Releasing groups should just make it a ║
║ policy to upload there releases to the member boards and HQs. Yea, I ║
║ know it is a bitch to upload to all boards that's why better standards ║
║ should be maintained by groups so even though more people will be upset ║
║ that they can't get in that is just to bad. Because a group can have ║
║ everyone anyway so cut the slackers and lame boards out to make some ║
║ room and some more time for the more elite ones. ║
║ ║
║ The reason I am writing this is not to complain that much because I ║
║ am very much enjoying the scene and that is why I am here so long but to ║
║ get this idea out because I know many sysops that I deal with feel the ║
║ same way but don't know where to go to have this expressed where people ║
║ will actually read it. But I know where to go RCN because anyone who is ║
║ anyone in the scene and can read will grab RCN so my view will finally ║
║ be expressed. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ It has been called to my attention, that the local boards that I ║
║ used to call were going under. I know most of this it true due to the ║
║ fact that we now have 3 Internet service providers in our area local to ║
║ everyone. I was told that before the Internet came around there were 30 ║
║ boards local where I live. Now there are 5. ║
║ ║
║ All the boards died within one year of when the Internet came to my ║
║ town. Now, I know for some people that they used to like calling local ║
║ boards and playing Legend of the Red Dragon and other games like that ║
║ but now it's to the point it you want to have a decent board you need to ║
║ run it on the Internet to get calls. ║
║ ║
║ I predict by the year 2000 the way it is going now there will be ║
║ very FEW local boards in your area, like I know mine. I used to run ║
║ one. I took it down and now am setup for the Internet I just need my ║
║ static IP connection. And I am off on my journey to the great beyond of ║
║ the Internet. And what do most people want when they telnet to a board? ║
║ Warez mostly. I don't know too many people who don't run a board and ║
║ don't have them. It's just an everyday occurrence now. ║
║ ║
║ With the major groups like DOD (Drink or Die) and PWA (Pirates with ║
║ Attitudes) releasing the AWSOME software they get, it's just too big. ║
║ But if you want to run a thriving board, you need a few things. ║
║ Internet, Warez, people who call, and cool ansi's from ACiD (Ansi ║
║ Creators in Demand) or another group like that. ║

║ Dear RCN, ║
║ ║
║ Just thought I'd write you guys to express a few of my opinions. ║
║ First, your mag rocks! The music, code, the interface, they're the ║
║ best, but over the last few issues, RCN seems to be taking me longer, ║
║ and longer to read. I found myself unzipping the file at 10:30 PM ║
║ tonight, and when I finihed reading the mag, it was 11:41 PM. What I'm ║
║ trying to say is maybe you should go more for quality rather than ║
║ quantity. I find a lot of your group interviews are more or less the ║
║ same in content, and I'll probably be skipping most of them in the ║
║ future. ║
║ ║
║ Next, that fucking space invaders game. I spent 10 minutes playing ║
║ it, and got 3000 points and I said screw this. You really want me to ║
║ play for half an hour to get to 10000 points!? Hehe, I guess I'll just ║
║ have to try and live without knowing what's in those secret articles, or ║
║ maybe someone will release another space invaders crack :-). ║
║ ║
║ Last, what ever happened to Defacto? It seems they couldn't handle ║
║ the pressure, or are they STILL waiting on this miracle interface? I'd ║
║ say it's probably the first option! ║
║ ║
║ Okay well that's about all from me, keep up the good work, and death ║
║ to all IRCOPS!! ║

║ We don't expect everybody to read the entire mag, just read the ║
║ parts that most interest you, and you will have a much more enjoyable ║
║ experience. We understand that we can't please everybody, but in trying ║
║ to do so, there will always be something that others don't like. So ║
║ read what interests you, there's a ton of stuff in the mag, read what ║
║ you're most interested in, and then, print out the entire mag and read ║
║ the parts that don't interest you as much while sitting on the toilet ║
║ taking a shit. As for Defacto, they just released their "Goodbye ║
║ Defacto" issue, so I guess it's another one gone down the drain. Oh ║

║ I've gotta say your mag is awesome. Especially at the beginning. ║
║ The art is awesome too! One of the little things your mag has that ║
║ others don't is smooth scrolling with keys. Other mags have the ║
║ crappiest scrolling. Your musical variety is also great and smooth! I ║
║ like the space game the way it is, too. I don't want to piss anyone off ║
║ but they shouldn't come whining in the channel when they can't get ║
║ 10,000 points. It's not THAT hard, just try it for at least 5 minutes ║
║ and you'll be surprised at how good you can be! ║
║ ║
║ I was reading Issue #20 about getting sodas from Coke machines for ║
║ free. One of them said to get a train schedule and put those nickles ║
║ down on the tracks so they get smashed and turn into quarters. Just a ║
║ few years back I did something similar, but this didn't require a train ║
║ <grin>. Just get a heavy hammer and take a handfull of nickles out to a ║
║ hard flat surface (like a sidewalk). Just hammer them away! It might ║
║ take you a while at first but once you get the hang of it it gets real ║
║ easy. You might want a real quarter handy, though. They also work at ║
║ the arcades. Well there's my smashed up 5 cents! ║

║ There is something new I noticed Napalm do. They release the game, ║
║ and with it all kinds of addons. Cinema addons, speech addons, and so ║
║ on. I think this is a great idea, and I hope to see all groups start ║
║ doing this. This lets me check the game first, and if I really like it, ║
║ I take all the addons and burn them on a CD. Then, I almost have the ║
║ original CD! For example, why couldn't RazorCD release their new ║
║ Baseball game in 2 parts? One for the game itself and one for the ║
║ cinema addon. That way they wouldn't have passed the 40 disk limit, and ║
║ you wouldn't have to download a 58 disk release just to find out the ║

║ ║
║ █RCN█: Razor 1911 has been one of the top groups in the scene for many ║
║ years now, and many would consider it the best group of all time, ║
║ however, there are some that would say that Razor 1911 is a dying ║
║ group, and that Prestige is the new king of the hill, do you ║
║ believe that is true? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: I would not say that Razor 1911 is dying, perhaps we are not in ║
║ our prime. But, we are certainly still alive. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Do you believe that Prestige has taken Razor 1911's place in the ║
║ games scene as the #1 group? Razor 1911 has definitely not ║
║ released as MANY games as Prestige, but the games that Razor 1911 ║
║ has released, such as WarCraft 2 (14 Disks with the Expansion ║
║ Set), are usually better cracked and have a high chance of ║
║ working. Do you believe that Prestige releases also have a high ║
║ rate of working? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: Razor 1911 has been known for many years to release quality ║
║ working titles. Now, all groups come and go, but Razor 1911 will ║
║ always be around. Prestige does not have the same long term ║
║ reputation as Razor 1911 does. I cannot say how long Prestige ║
║ will be able to continue with their high volume of releases, in ║
║ most cases equal to Razor 1911 standards. Then again, Prestige ║
║ has messed up a few recently, but that is expected from a new ║
║ group. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What are these mess ups by Prestige that could have come about ║
║ because of their young age? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: For example, Prestige's release of Frank Thomas Baseball did not ║
║ allow pitching. Miscellaneous bugs as such in their releases, ║
║ which can really happen to anyone, unless you have the ║
║ organization and experience to have things tested properly, are ║
║ not necessarily due to their young age. But because of their ║
║ young age, they most likely haven't had the time to setup a ║
║ clockwork-like system of getting their releases out smoothly. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What is this clockwork-like system that you are describing? And ║
║ how can other games groups learn from Razor 1911's experience? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: Well for example, Razor 1911 has a good reputation for releases ║
║ working properly that are properly cracked. However certain ║
║ groups (in some cases based out of 718), do not have such a good ║
║ reputation for things working properly, I am sure if the group in ║
║ question (I would rather not mention any names at this point), ║
║ would schedule in the time to test a release to make sure that the ║
║ crack is fully working, a lot of problems could have been avoided. ║
║ There is really nothing to be learned from Razor 1911's ║
║ experience. Experience itself is the key. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: A good release is guaranteed to be spread to many people, but even ║
║ Razor 1911 has to release some games here and there that are just ║
║ not fun. It's not Razor 1911's fault, it's just that some ║
║ companies can't program fun games. And when that happens, how ║
║ does the courier section of Razor 1911 help spread its releases to ║
║ the masses even when the game just does not want to spread? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: Obviously in a games group situation, priority goes to the boards. ║
║ Once a release has been put on our HQ boards, we then take it over ║
║ to the Internet by procedure. Once a release is on all of the ║
║ main distribution points, there is really nothing we can do to ║
║ force the end user to download it. It is not our responsibility ║
║ to market it. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: How do you take it over to the Internet by procedure? What do you ║
║ mean by "procedure?" Also, what are the requirements for a board ║
║ that wants to become affiliated with Razor 1911. And when a board ║
║ does become affiliated, how does one become more than a member ║
║ board to become a HQ board? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: By procedure, I mean it is how things are normally done, sort of ║
║ "by the book." The requirements of a board that would like to ║
║ become a part of Razor 1911 are normally evaluated on an ║
║ individual basis. We look for boards in which the sysop is able ║
║ to actively contribute to the group. Generally, I would assume, I ║
║ have not been in Razor 1911 at the time an HQ board was appointed, ║
║ that a HQ board would be selected on the basis of hardware, nodes, ║
║ traffic, and of course the sysops level of contribution. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: On the note of experience that you mentioned earlier, what ║
║ surprises me is that many of the Prestige leaders such as The ║
║ Renegade Chemist and Zeus, were former leaders of Razor 1911 ║
║ during its peak. Why wouldn't they be showing the experience that ║
║ they have acquired over the years in making sure that Prestige ║
║ releases work in a more timely fashion? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: In a new group environment, having established people, such as The ║
║ Renegade Chemist and Zeus is always a plus, but it cannot totally ║
║ evade the problems which arise in a new group. You must keep in ║
║ mind that a group is a group, a team effort I should say. You ║
║ cannot base a group on the merits of a few strong individuals. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: I do find it interesting that many Razor 1911 couriers are also ║
║ couriers in Rapier. Why is that so? Is Rapier official couriers ║
║ for Razor 1911? For example, on Street Spyders, the Razor 1911 ║
║ WHQ which also happens to be one of the fastest boards in the ║
║ world, most of the top uploaders are usually members of Rapier and ║
║ Razor 1911. Perhaps there is a team effort here? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: It is purely coincidence that many Rapier couriers are also Razor ║
║ 1911 couriers. Both Rapier and Razor 1911 only take the best, ║
║ therefore, it is likely that both groups will have a similar ║
║ member base. It also happens to be that Street Spyders is the ║
║ Rapier US HQ and also being the Razor WHQ. Rapier obviously wants ║
║ the best boards, and so does Razor 1911, therefore it is likely ║
║ that their choices would overlap. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: I heard rumors that Rapier might have disbanded earlier this week, ║
║ or that perhaps many Rapier members left Rapier for Everlast ║
║ because you did not have enough time to run the group, is there ║
║ any truth to that? Is Rapier still alive? ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: I cannot comment on Rapiers current status. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Ever since my friends brought me into the scene, I've always asked ║
║ myself, "What does the 1911 in Razor 1911 mean?" Nobody has ever ║
║ been able to tell me, but I do hope that you will be able to ║
║ answer that question. And please do, or I will have to kill you. ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: 777h. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: 777h? What does that mean? I will kill you if you don't tell me. ║
║ Is 1911 some kind of Satanic thing? Like, you take 1911 and you ║
║ some how rearrange the numbers, and then you multiply and subtract ║
║ them in some strange fashion, and you get 666? Like that Ozzy ║
║ Osbourne music video, where his forehead has a 9454 print, and ║
║ it's actually some sort of allusion to the printmark of the Beast ║
║ (Anti-Christ) found in the Bible? See, I was bored, so I tossed ║
║ 9454 in my head, and if you multiply 9 times 4, you get 36. Now ║
║ if you add 5 plus 4, you get 9, so now you're left with 369. So ║
║ if you take 3 from 9 and add that 3 to the first 3, you get 666. ║
║ This can be confusing, but you get the point. ║
║ ║
║ █RZR█: I suppose we will leave that as a mystery. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Bummer. Oh well, you can't win them all. ║
║ ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What kind of group is Epic? It's fairly new, but I've seen its ║
║ releases around many fast sites this past week. How did Epic ║
║ start? ║
║ ║
║ █BUG█: Well, it's a games releasing group. It was started when Morphine ║
║ and I decided that when we were in ROR (Release on Rampage), our ║
║ work was being wasted. Morphine's supplies were being done by ║
║ Prestige first, and my couriering was pointless for a release ║
║ group that did only did 1 game each month. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What did you mean when you said that Morphine's supplies were ║
║ being done by Prestige first? Was Morphine part of Prestige? I ║
║ thought you said that both of you were members of ROR? ║
║ ║
║ █MOR█: No, well all of the releases I obtained took ROR too long to get ║
║ out and they never got the releases it out it was getting on my ║
║ nerves so we decided to start up Epic so that we could make sure ║
║ that that crap didn't happen to me and other suppliers. I don't ║
║ want to sound like I'm dissing ROR, but the records do show that ║
║ ROR released very FEW games. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Morphine, when you supplied for ROR, why did it take them so long ║
║ to release something? Were they busy checking to make sure that ║
║ the game was fully cracked and working? If so, then ROR's ║
║ precaution would actually be good for the scene. ║
║ ║
║ █MOR█: Well, it just seemed that the people that they needed were never ║
║ around to do their job to get the releases out. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: In a way then, Epic is a split off of ROR? Now that Epic is here, ║
║ what distinguishes it from other release groups? What makes it ║
║ special? Why is it not just ANOTHER lame one week games group? ║
║ ║
║ █BUG█: Well, only the leadership of Epic split off of ROR, and even then ║
║ we don't think of it like that. ROR was simply the group that ║
║ both Morphine and I were in at one point in time. We don't really ║
║ consider ourselves special, we just get the job done and will ║
║ continue to do so. You should also know that Morphine and I were ║
║ away from the scene for a while before this, so we were only in ║
║ ROR a few weeks. I'm not saying that ROR is bad, but we really ║
║ don't have anything to do with them anymore. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Specify what you meant when you said, "We don't really consider ║
║ ourselves special, we just get the job done and will continue to ║
║ do so." What are you guys doing that you will contine to do, but ║
║ that does not make Epic special? ║
║ ║
║ █MOR█: Well, Epic is no different than any other games group which has ║
║ succeeded except that we are doing so in a smaller scale. We get ║
║ our releases and we get them cracked and we get them out to the ║
║ sites. That's how the scene is, you don't need to be special to ║
║ do that, you just need to be organized. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: While running Epic, have you encountered any problems? I have ║
║ heard rumors that the release of Gender Wars was supposed to be ║
║ released by Epic, but the release was then stolen by Prophet, the ║
║ leader of Napalm, is that true? ║
║ ║
║ █BUG█: Well, we like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and if ║
║ Prophet did it by accident, then we can forgive that, but there is ║
║ a little bit of doubt. We had placed our release on the Internet ║
║ shell account of X-Factor, a Legion leader, while waiting for a ║
║ cracker to get it. It seems that somehow Dark Force found the ║
║ release on the shell (it's also a Legion release site), and gave ║
║ it to Prophet. Prophet then uploaded it to Pentium Domination. ║
║ It could be an innocent mistake. We also got conflicting answers ║
║ by Prophet when he was questioned, and he never did admit to it. ║
║ But tracing the path of the spread clearly leads back to Pentium ║
║ Domination where it was uploaded by Prophet. We missed the final ║
║ release of Gender Wars to Razor 1911 by only a few minutes, and if ║
║ now for this extreme distraction we would probably have had the ║
║ release. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: You lost the release to Razor 1911? Did Napalm actually ever ║
║ release the Gender Wars stolen from Epic? Prophet is known for ║
║ stealing cracks and releases from other games groups, but did he ║
║ actually do anything with the stolen release this time? ║
║ ║
║ █BUG█: No, which points to the fact that it could have been an accident, ║
║ and they didn't know it was uncracked. However, there is always ║
║ the possibility that Napalm WAS cracking the Epic release and ║
║ simply didn't do it in time. The conflicting answers from Prophet ║
║ don't make it seem any more likely to be the first. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: On the note of another release, NHL PowerPlay, which was released ║
║ by Coredump, but unfortunately, the game was knowingly released ║
║ without a crack. I later noticed that Epic released NHL PowerPlay ║
║ as well, is the Epic version any different from Coredump's ║
║ careless release, or was the Epic release of NHL PowerPlay also ║
║ uncracked? ║
║ ║
║ █BUG█: No, it was not a dupe. It was one of the best possible releases ║
║ for a new group such as Epic. Coredump knowing that it was not ║
║ cracked, released it uncracked, and it was nuked everywhere, which ║
║ led to the humiliating fact that many members of Coredump started ║
║ denying the fact that they were even in the group. Razor 1911 ║
║ declared that the game was uncrackable, and Holy Beast from ║
║ Prestige tried to crack it but failed. However, Misha, the god of ║
║ cracking, cracked the game for Epic. To help out the people who ║
║ can't follow directions from the NFO, you must do a CUSTOM install ║
║ and then you must do a select all. That should keep the channel ║
║ #Epic free from being flooded by lamers, wait, calling stupid ║
║ people "lamers" is politically incorrect, I actually meant "people ║
║ with low intelligence" or rather, "the installationally ║
║ challenged." ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Has Coredump shown any resentment toward Epic? After all, Epic ║
║ did make Coredump look really lame. Yes, and I do call them lame. ║
║ I don't like being politically correct, so sue me. ║
║ ║
║ █BUG█: Well, Incarnate and Perfect Form have been the only ones to give ║
║ us any problems. They tried to get NHL PowerPlay cracked like 5 ║
║ days after we released our working version, but they still ║
║ couldn't get it cracked so they got really mad and started telling ║
║ every one how the Epic version of NHL PowerPlay didn't even work ║
║ when everyone who downloaded it would know that it does work. I ║
║ think that most Epic members are still banned from channel #CD ║
║ (Coredump's IRC channel), and a few of Coredump members did try to ║
║ infiltrate Epic, rather pathetically too since we knew that the ║
║ Coredump spies were discussing "tricking Epic." I believe there ║
║ were a couple threats, and tKLP informed us that Incarnate was ║
║ trying to steal our crack for their release. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What do you mean when you said, "A few of their members tried to ║
║ infiltrate us?" ║
║ ║
║ █BUG█: Someone named Pioneer tried a "I really hate Coredump, I want to ║
║ join Epic," but we have our own spies in channel #CD and we were ║
║ totally aware of their pathetic attempts at infiltrating Epic. ║
║ Some other members of Coredump tried as well, but Pioneer was ║
║ their best actor. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Dam, with spies and all, I'm surprised they're not Communist or ║
║ something. They do the stupidest things, they HAVE to be ║
║ Communist, it just doesn't make sense. Anyway, what are your ║
║ future plans for Epic? If bigger games groups such as Prestige or ║
║ Razor 1911 asked you to have Epic merge into them, would you agree ║
║ to it? ║
║ ║
║ █BUG█: Actually a group called Precision asked us to merge into them ║
║ about 2 days ago but we were NOT interested. Epic would not be ║
║ interested in merging into either Prestige or Razor 1911 because ║
║ we're looking to compete with them and to eventually replace them. ║

║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What kind of group is CB4 (Cellblock 4)? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: First of all, I would like to tell you who I am. Like 8 months ║
║ ago, my ex-boyfriend (and YES, I am a girl) introduced me to some ║
║ of the members of oG (The Original Gangsters Syndicate, a little ║
║ Swedish group). I started supplying for them. Later on, I ║
║ established contact with Ivanhoe (now one of the leaders of CB4) ║
║ and some of the other members of the old Rebels. When they left ║
║ Rebels and started CB4, they convinced me to join them as a leader ║
║ of the group. CB4 is a release group. Our goal is to crack and ║
║ release all that we can get our hands on and to have FUN!!! ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: When you mentioned "the old Rebels," to what were you referring ║
║ to? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Some of the old members of Rebels left Rebels to help start CB4. ║
║ Leatherman, who was a former leader in Rebels, started CB4 near ║
║ the end of 1995 with only a few crackers. In the beginning of ║
║ 1996, 2 more Rebels members, Ivanhoe and Mercury, joined his ║
║ efforts. In February, CB4 merged with oG, where some of my ║
║ seniors and I joined CB4, and that's when CB4 became a real group, ║
║ and not just one of the small groups. Later on, Leatherman left ║
║ the group due to personal problems and after a short while, ║
║ Imposter joined CB4 as a leader. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Do you consider your group, CB4, a top notch releasing group? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Well, we want to stay a small group, with only 1 or 2 member sites ║
║ and no boards or couriers. Sure, a small group can have problems ║
║ as well, but it's easier to keep the group together when everyone ║
║ knows each other. That makes it easier to work together as a ║
║ team. All our members are 100% loyal to the group, and you know, ║
║ you don't have to be big in size to be a great release group! ║
║ Sometimes, when things are going really well with the releasing ║
║ and stuff, it's easy to develop a big ego. But in a small group ║
║ like ours, there is always someone there to pull you down from the ║
║ skies again. To be honest with you, it is more important that our ║
║ members have the right personality, than that they can supply like ║
║ 7 releases a week. The most important thing for us is to have ║
║ fun, and we like the laid back attitude towards the scene. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Has CB4 ever released warez before other release groups? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Yes, we have released like 10 to 20 releases a week in the last ║
║ couple of weeks. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Does CB4 specialize in releasing games, or utils, or both? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: We only release utils. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Would you say that CB4 ranks up with other utils groups such as ║
║ Mortality? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Yeah, sure, we are kicking the scene right now and we have lots ║
║ and lots of releases, but as I said before, the most important ║
║ thing for us is to have fun and we are not competing with anyone. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Please tell us what having fun in your group is like. ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Well, we all do it because it's a nice way of breaking the law, ║
║ hehe, no. It's fun to see how far you can go with a small group ║
║ like ours. Many other BIG groups wants to merge with us, but we ║
║ want to keep the group small so that we don't HAVE to do things in ║
║ any other way but our own CB4 way. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: How long has CB4 been around in the scene? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Eh, Leatherman started the group in 1995 and we have been ║
║ releasing like 10 to 20 releases a week since February. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Where do you guys get so many releases? How do CB4 suppliers ║
║ obtain their software? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: No, now I'm lying to you. In February and March, we had like ║
║ 20-30 releases a month. Hey, never tell anyone how our suppliers ║
║ get their hands on the software! Rule #1!!! ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Let me take a wild guess, are they beta testers? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Bwhahahhaha, I won't tell you!!! ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: You've made your point abundantly clear that CB4 is a small group, ║
║ but it is probably receiving plenty of applications each week. ║
║ For those who might be interested, how are applicants selected to ║
║ be given membership in CB4? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Like I said before, the most important thing for us when we look ║
║ at applicants is not whether or not they can supply thousands of ║
║ releases, but their personality. We want to keep the group small, ║
║ so I guess it's hard to join us. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: I have asked many people about CB4, it seems that no one has ever ║
║ heard of the group (including me), you said CB4 was very good and ║
║ that it released 10 to 20 releases a week, and yet, nobody knows ║
║ about the group, how can that be? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: Well, perhaps they don't read RCN!? Or perhaps you've been asking ║
║ the wrong people? Nah, but we are a small group and we don't make ║
║ much noise. Our releases are on all the big sites and you have ║
║ them in your weekly warez list, so I don't know why people haven't ║
║ heard about us. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: You mentioned earlier that some other groups wanted to merge with ║
║ CB4, can you name some? ║
║ ║
║ █CB4█: No, I don't want to do that. I don't know if the other groups ║
║ would like that, but I can tell you this, those groups that asked ║
║ us are the biggest in the scene. :) ║

║ █RCN█: I've been informed that tHA is one of the largest internet ║
║ takeover groups around, is its reputation warranted? What does ║
║ tHA do that makes it so well known? ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: Well, to begin with tHA isnt the group name, it is tHA EfNet ║
║ Mafia, and the acronym is EfM, but we are a bunch of well known ║
║ people on the Internet that well, just takeover IRC channels as a ║
║ challenge and during our free time try to takeover those channels ║
║ to see if we can overcome the odds. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What does tHA stand for then? I always thought that tHA was the ║
║ abbreviation of the group name, but if it's not, then what does it ║
║ stand for? ║

║ ║
║ █RCN█: So EfM only takes over channels that are deemed impossible to ║
║ takeover? Which channels has EfM takenover in the recent weeks? ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: Recently, well, most likely the largest channel we have taken has ║
║ been channel #Exceed, but we lost it after a mere 10 minutes, and ║
║ smaller channels that we have taken over range from #MircScripts, ║
║ #Eggdrop, and many of the kid/teen/incest sex pics, #Femdom, ║
║ channels covering a large span of our taken channels. ║

║ IRC ops. That would be a challenge, but it would also range on ║
║ the stupid side as well, right? ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: I personnaly cannot afford being k-lined off any more EfNet ║
║ servers, but it hasn't been tried for obvious reasons. Some ║
║ members have been plotting for a channel on DalNet called ║
║ #Dragon_Realm with is the equivilant channel on DalNet. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Taking over channel #Exceed must piss off some fATE (Fast Action ║
║ Trade Exchange) members right? I mean, don't you think it might ║
║ be working against the scene to takeover channels where people can ║
║ freely distribute warez? ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: No one in EfM is a so called "warez puppies" as deemed by EfM ║
║ members. But definitley, especially MadCrew the people that ║
║ "guard" #Exceed for fATE. Our members are mainly just serious ║
║ hackers and taking over channels is relaxing fun. Also, channel ║
║ #exceed is not the only warez channel that we have taken, ║
║ #warez99, #warez69, #warez, #warez-weapon have all fallen victim ║
║ to us recently. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What happens when a channel falls victim to EfM, do you guys try ║
║ to keep ops over a victimized channel permanently, or perhaps you ║
║ guys just close those channels down by making them +i? ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: In the past we have just done it for fun and only kept control for ║
║ 24 hours (+/- a few hours) not much longer. But recently, grudges ║
║ are forming between us and many channels, which may or may not ║
║ force us to hold or shut down the channel for a longer time. Most ║
║ likley #Ansi has been the channel we have help for the longest ║
║ time, which was I think a day or two. We really didn't have a ║
║ problem with #Ansi to begin with, just one of our members and one ║
║ of their ops kind of got into a grudge match, and it had to be ║
║ settled. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: But why settle a grudge betwee a channel #Ansi op and a EfM member ║
║ by fucking up #Ansi, and in the process, fucking up so many other ║
║ innocent bystanders? There are a lot of people that like to chat ║
║ in #Ansi, and shutting it down really fucks things up needlessly. ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: It was a match between 2 people until the other person spoofed an ║
║ address and grabbed our channel, which makes our people pissed off ║
║ and then after we were done made their people pissed off. It all ║
║ went hand in hand. Also, who said we were nice. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: EfM has a channel? Is it open to the public, if so, what's the ║
║ name of it? I assume you won't be afraid to give out the name of ║
║ the channel EfM members hang out in, after all, I doubt the EfM ║
║ channel gets taken over much. ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: We can often be spotted in the many scripting channels. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Well, what's the EfM channel? I don't want to know where I can ║
║ find EfM members. I mean, EfM is a top notch channel takeover ║
║ group, you guys are more than able to protect your own channel, so ║
║ telling me what your channel is should not really matter right? ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: Honestly, taking over channels is much more simplistic than ║
║ protecting a channel, but we will soon be moving to #EfM and we ║
║ can all be found there. We HAD a web page until the provider ║
║ found it to be "illegal" and is now being moved to a mirror ║
║ provider. We do not have a Ascii NFO file or a loader. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: To takeover channels, scripts can be very useful. Are there any ║
║ EfM members that write private takeover scripts, or other private ║
║ scripts that help collide, etc? ║
║ ║
║ █EfM█: All of the members have their own personal prefrences, we have and ║
║ EfM script which is 3/4 of the way done. To deal with the scripts ║
║ we have, some of the MOST TALENTED and poplular scripters around ║
║ such as IceKitten, god (also President of EfM), Cyko, Chak, JFK, ║
║ Jester, and countless others which are all working together on ║
║ forming this members only script. ║

║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Samuraion ║
║ Subject : Bad+Bad=Good? Affiliation : Legion Council ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Many know that Legion started a few weeks ago, and has shown its ║
║ presence in the utils scene as a group with a lot of potential. I ║
║ am aware that Legion came about as a merge, but which groups ║
║ merged to form Legion? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: Basically, Legion was a merge between Siva and Logistix, but 000 ║
║ (former leader of Dawn/Fierce) also brought along some of their ║
║ members after it died, and so what Legion really is, is the best ║
║ of Dawn, Logistix, and Siva. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: The best of Dawn, Logistix, and Siva? From what I know, none of ║
║ the 3 groups had any real quality and reputation. How has ║
║ bringing the best of the 3 groups formed a better and more ║
║ respectable group, Legion? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: What we really did was cut a lot of members down. We took all our ║
║ suppliers (respectively), and some other important members, and ║
║ created a new group with 3 times the suppliers, and we are all ║
║ very dedicated and working toward being a competition to the more ║
║ respectable utils releasing groups. And we all treat each other ║
║ with respect, work together, and that is what really brings a good ║
║ group together. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: I am aware that Judge Dredd was the leader of Dawn, but I do not ║
║ see him as a part of Legion? Was he taken out of Legion because ║
║ he was dead weight? Or did Legion merely take the suppliers out ║
║ of Dawn and left all other members of Dawn to themselves? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: Well, Dawn wasn't really considered a part of the merge I think. ║
║ This is because 000 came to Legion after Logistix and Siva had ║
║ already merged for a few days, but as for Judge Dredd, I haven't ║
║ seen him for a long time, and I think he's with a courier group ║
║ right now. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Were there any problems that resulted when the merge did take ║
║ place? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: What we really needed was some organization at first, but after a ║
║ little while, everything went well, and we had our releases going. ║
║ However, since we had some top couriers in the group, they were ║
║ all arguing about who gets to spread the releases to which sites. ║
║ That was bothering us for a few days, but in the end, we got it ║
║ all settled down, and everything went smoothly from there on. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Which top couriers argued about where the releases should be ║
║ spread, and how did everything eventually settle down? Did you ║
║ just tell all your couriers to stop arguing, or did you have to ║
║ threaten to kick them out of Legion before they would listen? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: I would rather not reveal their names, but we have thought about ║
║ it for a while, and have asked a few of them to resign or upload ║
║ to another site. But in the end, everything worked out alright, ║
║ no conflicts, nothing. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Many young utils groups, and by far, Legion is not an exception, ║
║ go through troubles when they first release. Nearly all young ║
║ utils groups go through troubles of releasing utils that are ║
║ broken or are dupes. How has Legion answered to those that accuse ║
║ it of releasing warez that are broken and on several occasions, ║
║ releases that are dupes? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: I have no comment, but I do believe that we have not duped on any ║
║ release. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Do you believe that there might be any egos within the group? For ║
║ example, a few days ago, when I joined channel #Legion, I was ║
║ threatened of being banned from #Legion by X-Factor, Legion ║
║ Council, simply because I was joining the channel to look for a ║
║ friend, and when I couldn't find my friend, I left the channel. ║
║ He got extremely mad at me and started yelling at me because I ║
║ joined and then left the channel. Do you believe that attitudes ║
║ as such might be hurting the group? After all, nobody likes ║
║ working with stuckup egos. ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: Well, X-Factor is an exception. I've known him for a while, he's ║
║ special. He just about pissed off everyone in the group, ║
║ including me, but he's a nice guy if you know him. But as for the ║
║ egos, there have been no egos in the group, and if there ever will ║
║ be, it will be dealt with seriously. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: In your opinion, how does Legion stand among the better utils ║
║ groups such as PWA (Pirated with Attitudes) and Rebels? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: We are still new at this, but our members all have experience, and ║
║ we are still in the process of organization, but once everything ║
║ is settled, we will be a competition to them. We got all the ║
║ suppliers we need, and all we need now is time, time to build up ║
║ our name so we can stand up there with some of the other stronger ║
║ utils groups. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: You mentioned earlier that there were conflicts between different ║
║ top couriers within Legion. Has that hindered Legion's ability in ║
║ seeking after an official courier group to courier Legion ║
║ releases? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: About official couriers, we had a lot of thought on that. But we ║
║ do have a strong Internet team, and we are on all the top sites of ║
║ the world, so couriering shouldn't be a problem. However, we did ║
║ consider Empire as our official couriers, but the ║
║ negotiations/terms came out differently from what we discussed, so ║
║ we decided to go with Malice at the moment. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What were these negotiations/terms that were not met by Empire? ║
║ Did Empire not live up to their word? Or perhaps Legion was ║
║ simply more interested in being affiliated with Malice because it ║
║ is an older group and is more well known? ║
║ ║
║ █LGN█: Well, Empire did not meet the terms that one of their staff said, ║
║ because it seemed that their staff have different points of view. ║
║ We had a great offer from Empire, and after it was all settled, ║
║ another Empire staff gave us a different story. And since a few ║
║ of the Legion Council are also members of Malice, and Malice is an ║
║ older group with a lot more experience, and had an even better ║
║ offer, it makes sense to have them spread our releases. ║

║ Subject : fATE Lacks Support? Affiliation : WWR High Membership ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ █RCN█: WWR (World Wide Releasing) never ceases to amaze me. It's one of ║
║ those small groups that have been around for a long time, but has ║
║ yet to change much. How is that so? And for those who don't know ║
║ much about WWR, what kind of release group is WWR? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: Well, WWR has gotten itself a big reputation on a local level, but ║
║ not so much on the Internet. WWR is a releasing group, and it ║
║ releases utils. I guess we didn't got the right people for doing ║
║ the right stuff. We had fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) ║
║ couriering for us, but that didn't help much either. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Why has it gained respect only on a local level? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: As I said, we didn't had the right people to do the couriering ║
║ stuff, and localy it was more easier for our own couriers to move ║
║ WWR releases from board to board without calling long distance or ║
║ phreaking for it. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Certainly, fATE could only help WWR spread warez in as much as WWR ║
║ can release, and in that, I have yet to see much, so the fault was ║
║ not with fATE, but with WWR. What did you expect fATE to do for ║
║ WWR that would have helped the group? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: Well, first, fATE was coming to me with their offer, to courier ║
║ for WWR. I of course said yes and told the other high membership ║
║ about it. It wasn't what I expected it to be. I thought they ║
║ would courier NOT only to their sites, but IRC offers and BBS ║
║ also, and I thought that they would support WWR's boards as well. ║
║ I guess I was wrong. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Most utils groups have seniors that are based in the U.S., but ║
║ I've been informed that most WWR seniors live in Europe, is that ║
║ true? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: Yes, we have two seniors that live in the U.S., and two that live ║
║ in Europe. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What are some of WWR's quality releases in the recent weeks? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: Some of WWR's best releases include Visual Basic v4.2, Delphi ║
║ v2.1, Romworks, Access Developer v7.0, and Paint Shop Pro v4.0. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: After WWR left fATE, did WWR seek out for another courier group ║
║ that could satisfy its needs? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: Well, that "leave" happened only 2 days ago, so for now, I don't ║
║ know where to go, there is Malice, RTS (Request to Send), RiSC ║
║ (Rise in Superior Couriering), and others. I'm just waiting for ║
║ the right courier group to show up that will help WWR out in ║
║ couriering. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What makes you think that any of the above mentioned courier ║
║ groups would want to be official couriers for WWR? What would you ║
║ offer them? You could offer them releases, and you named some ║
║ good ones just a few minutes ago, but many of them were dupes and ║
║ were thus nuked off all the major boards. ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: ALL of them? Well, I can't really tell now what I have to offer. ║
║ If they'll throw an offer or demand at me, I'll try to fulfill it ║
║ and go with it. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What makes WWR different from other utils groups? There are tons ║
║ out there and WWR might just be a dime a dozen. What makes it ║
║ better than other utils groups, or perhaps, it's not? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: Well, I didn't say we're better than anyone out there. It's just ║
║ that there are TONS of utils coming out everyday in the stores, ║
║ and not all the groups can release those utils. So I try to fill ║
║ in the missing spot of those utils and release them. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: "... there are TONS of utils coming out everyday in the stores, ║
║ and not all the groups can release those utils," what do you mean ║
║ by that? Why can't other utils groups release what WWR releases? ║
║ Are WWR releases of low quality, and thus, other utils groups ║
║ refuse to release them? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: Well, some suppliers go to the store and bring whatever there is, ║
║ and sometimes they miss one or two things. So here are two good ║
║ utils to worth releasing, and woops, no one got it. So I try to ║
║ grab it, and release it. I also forgot to mention that we don't ║
║ release any shitty util that comes out, we try to release only the ║
║ utils that people will ACTUALLY use for their needs. We don't ║
║ release those shitty screen savers that people are juming just to ║
║ release it. You saw some of the titles I said, and you saw those ║
║ are requested utils, so we release them. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: There is one problem though, I just went through a dupe check list ║
║ on BBX, a very fast RiSC site, and none of those files you ║
║ mentioned are on there released under WWR. I also received word ║
║ that the WWR releases you mentioned are not on there because they ║
║ were nuked for being fakes or dupes, why is that? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: Dupes? You saw any where else that someone released those? And I ║
║ can't prove you that those were fakes. The only thing that you ║
║ could do to check them, is to download them yourself and see for ║
║ yourself. Maybe it's not on the sites because we've just started ║
║ then and we were local. Maybe someone told the siteops to nuke ║
║ them because they were "dupes" and "fakes" and the siteops without ║
║ checking it, just nuked it. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: That is very possible, how long has WWR been around on the ║
║ Internet? ║
║ ║
║ █WWR█: We've been on the internet for about 3 to 4 months, and we've been ║
║ around in the scene for about 7+ months total. ║

║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Judge Dredd ║
║ Subject : Another Dead Merge? Affiliation : Dawn President ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What was your position in the late Dawn, and what were your duties ║
║ for that group? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: I was the founder and the leader of Dawn team since October of ║
║ 1995. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: I know that Dawn the games group died in 1995 when it tried to ║
║ merge into Legacy, another games group of which I was a part of, ║
║ but I also know that Dawn the utils group was later revived in ║
║ 1996 and became quite prominent, yet once again, it has died, why ║
║ is that so? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: We started out as a game group back then, releasing some exellent ║
║ games, but then somewhere in the beginning of 1996 we decided to ║
║ release both games and utilities. Then I decided to stay with ║
║ utils and when Tyranny came back I went to them and Dawn became a ║
║ utils only group. We had released some pretty good stuff then, ║
║ and was offered a lot of merges, but I I had bad expierence with ║
║ merges, plus they were all in-merges meaning that Dawn was losing ║
║ its name, until Fierce team came along. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What happened when to Dawn when the Fierce team came along? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: They were releasing very legit utilities back then, and they ║
║ agreed to keep the name Dawn, and I thought to myself that in that ║
║ time things couldn't be better, Dawn in RCN's weekly utils review ║
║ in one of the weeks finished 2nd after PWA and now had more power, ║
║ but I was wrong. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: I do remember that Dawn finished 2nd in the utils review, and that ║
║ is very good for a new utils group. Dawn had a very good week, so ║
║ it only seemed natural to show them off to the masses, but you ║
║ also mention, "but I was wrong." How were you wrong, and when did ║
║ you realize that you were wrong? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: When I had to take 2 week break because of personal reasons and I ║
║ left group for Ebola and Darkrage. I am not going to blame either ║
║ fo them. Ebola had recieved $1000 phone bill and Darkrage had ║
║ family problems, Anyway, when I return there was a complete mess, ║
║ the channel had about 50 people in fighting and bullshitting. I ║
║ just couldn't take it. I kicked everyone out and I decided to ║
║ keep all of the loyal Dawn members, most of which were also ║
║ suppliers. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: So you kicked everyone out of your group that couldn't supply, but ║
║ that still should not have killed Dawn. As long as you had ║
║ suppliers, you should have been able to keep Dawn releasing. Why ║
║ did Dawn eventually die then? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: We did not die. We were looking for a nice place to merge. We ║
║ had the opportunities to merge into X-Force. They're a great team ║
║ but somehow when my people voted, they voted not to join them. ║
║ Personally, I loved that opportunity, but I always consider the ║
║ opinions of our people. They wanted to go with Mortality, and I ║
║ even sent Cryptic Pain a small release, but he just didn't seem ║
║ too trustful of me, nothing personal, but yesterday we found our ║
║ place where we want to be. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What place is this? Where did Dawn merge into? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: As of yesterday all Dawn members are getting ready for a complete ║
║ team merging with Sodom and their great friendly team run by Tok ║
║ and Jecksom. I had been friends with both of them, and I think we ║
║ can kick some real ass, they're already on top 5 no doubt! ║
║ Together we can really kick it. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What are you talking about? There is no way Sodom is not one of ║
║ the top 5 utils groups. It's not even in content, there are tons ║
║ of other groups that are in much better views than they are. I ║
║ can easily find 5 other utils groups that easily outrank Sodom ║
║ both in release power and reputation. For example, I'm sure that ║
║ DOD (Drink or Die) is better than Sodom. I'm also sure that ║
║ Mortality, PWA, Rebels, and X-Force are all better than etter than ║
║ Sodom. That makes 5 other utils groups. Perhaps you merged Dawn ║
║ into Sodom for alterior motives? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: No, I believe that Sodom has better potentials than anyone else ║
║ right now. Just watch them. There was no other reason for Dawn to ║
║ merge into Sodom. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Yes, they do have the potential, but unachieved potential is ║
║ useless. Anyway, what position will you be taking once you are a ║
║ part of Sodom? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: We're about to discuss it when Tok returns home from Moscow, but ║
║ I'll have at least a council position. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Why do you think Cryptic Pain, Mortality President, was so ║
║ cautious in having you supply him with releases. Shouldn't he ║
║ have been grateful if those releases were of quality? Do you have ║
║ any ideas why he would not trust you? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: Oh no, he was grateful, but I told him not to release it, because ║
║ in return for Dawn helping Mortality, he had to go with our ║
║ couriering group to help Dawn out. After I sent him a release and ║
║ asked him if he's ready to go with our couriering group he said he ║
║ wasn't sure and I told him not to release util I gave him, I ║
║ didn't trust him enough. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What did you give him to release? Was it a quality util? If it ║
║ was, he would have jumped on the opportunity instead of jerking ║
║ around with you right? Also, which courier group did you ask him ║
║ to go with? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: Oh, he wasn't jerking around. It's just that he had another ║
║ promise to someone else. No, that was not a quality release, but ║
║ it was very legit and useful 2 disk util. Well, I don't think it ║
║ matters now. Actually, there is a big story with that, but it's a ║
║ completely different story which has nothing to do with Cryptic ║
║ Pain ofcourse. He's a good leader and he made Mortality one of ║
║ the best groups in the world in a short period of time, so ║
║ whatever I said about me trusting him, it has nothing to do with ║
║ his great abilities as a leader. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Also, you mentioned earlier, "... pretty good stuff then, and was ║
║ offered a lot of merges, but I I had bad expierence with merges, ║
║ plus they were all in-merges meaning that Dawn was losing its ║
║ name." Isn't Dawn's current merge into Sodom an in-merge? Why ║
║ aren't you more cautious of Sodom, I thought you said that you had ║
║ bad experiences with merges? ║
║ ║
║ █DWN█: Yes, but this time I am not aiming to run a group. I am going to ║
║ meaning that earlier when there was a merge I consider myself ║
║ being of the leader, but now I stayed in the warez scene but I'm ║
║ also join tradinng scene - a scene of a real challange and risc, ║
║ not just sitting and packaging releases. Therefore you're now ║
║ interviewing Dredd & Impact. I now officially change my name from ║
║ Judge Dredd to Dredd & Impact. As for Sodom, I'll be doing ║
║ everything I can to get it on top. ║

║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Ju-Jutsu ║
║ Subject : Make Up Your Mind! Affiliation : fTP Leader ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What kind of courier group is fTP (Full Throttle Pirates)? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: Our intention was to courier mainly to sites belonging to fTP and ║
║ some IRC couriering too. We might start releasing as soon as we ║
║ get us some suppliers. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: It is my understanding that your group is based in Finland, is ║
║ that true? If so, has that hindered fTP's ability in competing ║
║ with American based courier groups? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: Well, I am from Finland and some of our members are from Finland ║
║ too, but that doesn't mean that we couldn't compete with American ║
║ groups. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What makes your courier group fTP different from any other courier ║
║ group? There are tons out there and many people might think that ║
║ fTP is just another lame courier group, is that true? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: We aren't new to the scene, like some lame courier groups that ║
║ were started by newbies. We know what we are doing. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: How long have you been in the scene and what previous experience ║
║ do you have with running courier groups? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: I've been in the scene for over 4 years or so, and I've couriered ║
║ for many good and lame courier groups. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Which courier groups might those be? Which of them do you ║
║ consider good, and which of them do you consider lame? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: Yes. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Could you be more specific? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: There were many. Most of them were lame. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Five minutes ago, you said "I've couriered for many good and lame ║
║ courier groups." Which good courier groups have you couriered ║
║ for? Let me rephrase my question, which good courier groups have ║
║ you been in? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: I've couriered for Insanity and Malice. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Why did you leave Malice? It certainly does have a better ║
║ reputation than fTP. Did you leave Malice to pursue your own ║
║ goals of running your own courier group? It seems like everyone ║
║ says they've been a part of Malice these days, I'll have to check ║
║ with Dorian Hawkmoon. ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: It was a long time ago, besides I wanted to put up my own group. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Many courier groups enjoy being official couriers for release ║
║ groups. Is fTP official couriers for any release groups? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: Yes. We are official couriers for the NEW Legacy. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Has this NEW Legacy given fTP lots to courier? Last I checked, ║
║ they have yet to release anything. ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: The new Legacy gave us nothing to courier so far. Well, we are ║
║ new and so is Legacy. Or it's lame, I don't know. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: What are your future plans for fTP? How do you suppose to make it ║
║ a better group than it is now? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: Of course! We just started. Our future plans are to start ║
║ releasing as soon as we get some more suppliers. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: So you plan to make fTP a release group? I thought fTP was a ║
║ courier group? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: Yes. Clone is the other leader. We already got some suppliers. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Wait, if fTP is a release group, then why is fTP official couriers ║
║ for Legacy? You guys really ought to make up your minds. ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: We started out as couriers, and our future plans are to become a ║
║ releasing group. ║
║ ║
║ █RCN█: Do you guys plan on releasing games and utils, or do you plan on ║
║ specializing fTP releases to either games or utils? ║
║ ║
║ █fTP█: I have decided that we will be releasing both games and utils, but ║
║ we have not yet decided. ║

║ Author : Rebel Chicken ║
║ Subject : ROR is Dead? I wish. ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ Here's a little log file of what happened in channel #Reflux. I was ║
║ about to celebrate when I found out that ROR (Release on Rampage) was ║
║ finally dead, I mean, after all, don't we all hate downloading fake ║
║ releases? I'm tired of downloading something to find that the filedates ║
║ to the games have been rigged so it wouldn't get nuked, and I'm tired of ║
║ downloading beta games that have been hex edited to say that they're the ║
║ final version of something they're not. You might be confused as to why ║
║ ROR and RLX (Reflux) might have something in common, but hopefully, the ║
║ log file will help clear things up. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <Crack> Tklp, is ROR dead? Is Reflux the new ROR? ║
║ ║
║ <Tklp> Yes!! Duh!!! ROR is now Reflux, but keep it quiet until we ║
║ debut. ║
║ ║
║ <Crack> Tklp, when are you going to tell everyone? ║
║ ║
║ <Tklp> When we do our first release. Warhammer, make us a file_id.diz ║
║ and give me the script. I thought you wanted to join. ║
║ ║
║ <Warhammer> Fucking hell man, when you want something, you gotta have ║
║ it. Ok, hold on, I'll do one right now. ║
║ ║
║ <Tklp> Remember to keep it quiet, don't tell anyone because when we do ║
║ come in, we are coming in with a BANG! ║
║ ║
║ *** [RI-X] has left channel #Reflux ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ Some of you might be asking yourselves, why would ROR change its ║
║ name to Reflux? After all, ROR has been around for about 10 months now, ║
║ and that does give it a reputation as being a stable group (even though ║
║ that might not be the case). Tklp has worked very hard in giving ROR a ║
║ good name, he's very good at what he does. I have to give credit where ║
║ it's due, he was a pro at making the Quake Beta look like the Quake ║
║ Final. He even fooled me until Jay Wilbur from iD Software told me that ║
║ ROR's release was not the final version. Not every lamer can pull lame ║
║ tricks like that, only really special lamers are stupid enough to do ║
║ something like that. ║
║ ║
║ When word (thanks to RCN) got around that ROR's release of Quake was ║
║ an intentional fake, many of the major bulletin boards and ftp sites ║
║ decided to pool together and blacklist all ROR releases. That made Tklp ║
║ shit a brick, a real big brick, or rather, a small house. Nobody would ║
║ let him upload his fake releases anymore, because ROR*.* was blacklisted ║
║ on so many popular boards. Tklp then decided that it was time to change ║
║ his group name from ROR to RLX. ║
║ ║
║ Siteops and sysops, if you were smart enough to ban ROR*.*, well, ║
║ you might as well change ban RLX*.* too. There's really no difference ║
║ between ROR and RLX except for the name. I'll even show you the old ROR ║
║ nfo and the new RLX nfo, and you can tell that RLX is still led by Tklp, ║
║ and that many of the same ROR members are also RLX members. ║

║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ The following is a log file of my conversation with Crazy Horse ║
║ while I was chatting with him on his 10 node board called Purgatory, ║
║ former Courier HQ for Prestige. And I do emphasize on FORMER. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <CrzyHorse> Oh, Nueromage and I are not in Prestige anymore. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Ouch, what happened? Prestige dumped you guys or did you ║
║ guys dumped Prestige? Dont' worry, you shouldn't feel ║
║ embarrassed. You can tell the truth. ║
║ ║
║ <CrzyHorse> Haha, I don't know if I should say anything yet. It just ║
║ happened yesterday, but I guess I can tell you. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> I was informed that there was fighting in channel #Prestige, ║
║ some Prestige members logged it for me. I just haven't time ║
║ to check on it yet. ║
║ ║
║ <CrzyHorse> I didn't think it was in the channel though. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Then that must have been something else. What happened with ║
║ you then? ║
║ ║
║ <CrzyHorse> There is a board in my area code that the sysops here and ║
║ the sysops there are friends. A long time ago, we said that ║
║ we would not take each others affiliations. We made an ║
║ agreement and also would not be in the same groups. We felt ║
║ it was better for the area code to have a lot of ║
║ affiliations rather than just 2 or 3. So, the sysops of ║
║ that board learned how to supply games and are doing so for ║
║ Razor 1911. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Ah.. so this is a competition for suppliers between Prestige ║
║ and Razor 1911? ║
║ ║
║ <CrzyHorse> Prestige made it seem like they were going to offer the ║
║ sysops of that board membership in Prestige as member ║
║ boards, but because of the agreement that we made, the ║
║ sysops would have been unable to accept the Prestige offer. ║
║ They would not have accepted anyway, even if Prestige asked, ║
║ they have ALWAYS wanted to be in Razor 1911 and would not ║
║ leave. But because of the agreement, Prestige didn't want ║
║ to be tied up so they said that they didn't want our board ║
║ anymore. Then, they rethought it and offered our board as a ║
║ member board but not as a Courier HQ anymore. We declined. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> I see. ║
║ ║
║ <CrzyHorse> So that is the story. And I think it is total political ║
║ group bullshit. They didn't even ask the sysops of the ║
║ board. They were thinking. If the original agreement ║
║ between the sysops was not there, we could have gotten the ║
║ Razor 1911 suppliers in Prestige. But the truth is, if the ║
║ Razor 1911 sysops REALLY wanted in the Prestige, they would ║
║ have come to Prestige and said, "Look, we want in Prestige," ║
║ and then we would have worked something out. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Who's the sysop of this Razor 1911 board? ║
║ ║
║ <CrzyHorse> You figure it out. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Ah, come on, don't be a bad sport. How am I supposed to ║
║ know who's who? ║
║ ║
║ <CrzyHorse> Look in the Razor 1911 nfo. You'll figure it out I am sure. ║
║ I can't tell you everything, no fun in that. ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ I never did find the time to investigate on that matter, but the ║
║ names aren't really important. This log file shows that games group ║
║ politics all revolve around one thing, if you can supply games, you're ║
║ important. If you can't, then you're just another Crazy Horse, you ║
║ might run a 10 node board, you might have helped the group in the past ║
║ by being their Courier HQ, and you might even be as loyal to the group ║
║ as a son is to a father, but in the end, none of that matters. ║
║ ║
║ I'm just glad I don't have to worry about supplying the latest ║
║ releases out for a games group. And if you're a supplier, find a group ║
║ that likes you for YOU, and not because you can supply, you'll be ║
║ happier that way. ║

║ Author : Hitex ║
║ Subject : Temp Directories ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ About a year and a half ago, the Internet swept over the warez scene ║
║ and introduced to it a new form of transporting files. It boasted a new ║
║ speed at which software could be distributed. Everybody would log onto ║
║ a UNIX shell account and transfer files at speeds exceeding 100k/s. ║
║ Then the WWW came about and people all switched over to SLIP/PPP ║
║ accounts. And where did these "super fast speeds" all go? Straight ║
║ down the drain. Now 85% of the users on the Internet are logged on to ║
║ accounts that can push no more than 3k/s, and their end users are still ║
║ boasting speeds of 100k/s, and I sit here confused. These accounts are ║
║ as gay as AOL accounts, slow! ║
║ ║
║ But there are still a select few of us that do use the traditional ║
║ UNIX shell account. Admittedly, it's a little harder to use than the ║
║ PPP account, and it takes a few tries to get to know, but once one gets ║
║ a shell account to work well and knows how to use it to perfection, the ║
║ Internet is just a toy to be played with. One of the great toys is the ║
║ infamous temp directory. A temp directory is a location on a UNIX shell ║
║ provider on which big files can be stored for temporary use. All ║
║ providers have the directory, but it becomes useful beyond practicality ║
║ on the really big ones. Most UNIX shell accounts include a 5 MB disk ║
║ quota. This generally means that the average meggage of the files ║
║ stored in the directory at a certain calculation time for the month ║
║ cannot exceed 5 megabytes. Some more stingy providers restrict shell ║
║ accounts to 5 megabytes of quota at any given time, meaning that any ║
║ file transfer exceeding 5 megabytes in size will be cancelled upon ║
║ reaching this size limit. These accounts are what I would refer to as ║
║ "piles of crap" accounts. ║
║ ║
║ We all know, however, that sometimes a HUGE release (size-wise) is ║
║ released and we want to download it overnight, but don't want it to get ║
║ added onto our quota size average. In this case, the temp drive may be ║
║ put to use. On most providers, this directory is /temp but that is ║
║ often a link to a directory such as /hack2/tmp. Either one works. Any ║
║ user desiring a place to store some files for a temporary amount of time ║
║ can resort to using this directory. Many providers allocate a hard ║
║ drive just for this directory, which is why it can also be referred to ║
║ as a temp drive. The user can copy his/her files to this directory and ║
║ proceed to download them, quota-free. ║
║ ║
║ Still, some of us just want MORE from our temp drives! The big ║
║ providers, the ones with members from around the country, the ones with ║
║ many warez-affiliated members, are the ones that can give us that extra ║
║ knack. Some of the big providers don't care about warez on their ║
║ drives, or are just not aware of their existence. Some just choose not ║
║ to interfere in the activity of their users, as that would imply ║
║ censorship. These providers tend to have temp drives filled to the top ║
║ with the latest warez. Of course, if you're quiet, you might even be ║
║ able to snaggle some of these warez for yourself! You can copy them to ║
║ your home directory (cd ~) for download, you can copy them to another ║
║ temp drive directory that only you have user rights to (man chmod for ║
║ help on how to accomplish this), or, as courtesy would have it, you ║
║ could just leech the warez directly from the directory in which they ║
║ exist. This is often the best thing to do as far as netiquette goes, ║
║ because you won't be filling up the provider's drive with duplicate ║
║ files. ║
║ ║
║ Anyway, a cheery hello to all of you out there that still use shell ║
║ accounts, we know they're the best (hehe), and check out your temp ║
║ drive, if you're lucky, you'll find more than you expected! ║

║ Subject : Xenon's Life in RCN ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ The past month has been filled with a multitude of emails inquiring ║
║ about Xenon, the RCN coder. The extremists expressed religious ║
║ attachments to Xenon, "Xenon is my God!!!" Others expressed more subtle ║
║ desires, "Xenon is one of the best coders I've seen in the scene!" Some ║
║ expressed a concern for the real-life Xenon, "So what's he like in real ║
║ life?!" And others just wanted something in return, "Can you like send ║
║ me the RCN source code? Uhuh uhuh uhuhuhuh.." So I present to you, the ║
║ life of a coder. ║
║ ║
║ Xenon is 16 years old, yet his programming skills greatly exceed ║
║ those of many third year college students. His first programming ║
║ experience was on an old Timex Sinclair 1000 computer at the age of just ║
║ 5 years. When I found this out, my face was of pure astonishment. When ║
║ I was busy blowing soap bubbles into the wind, he was writing a program ║
║ to blow up the world. Xenon explained, however, that at 5, he never ║
║ really made his own programs, but rather "modified the work of others." ║
║ He said this quite nonchalantly and apparently didn't think anything of ║
║ it. Xenon then moved on to the Commodore 64 when he was 7, and by now, ║
║ became quite an experienced coder. He once even coded a game much like ║
║ Pacman, from scratch. He explained to me that he was a proud 7 year old ║
║ when he found out how to use sprites for smoother scrolling and better ║
║ looking graphics. I was perplexed. At 9, Xenon acquired a super dooper ║
║ Apple IIe. WOW. His BASIC skills were now running at a MILLION hertz, ║
║ but with a new and improved interface... or not. He was still cookin' ║
║ at a million hertz, but as unlike the Commodore 64, the graphics were ║
║ easier to implement. ║
║ ║
║ In 6th grade, at 11 years of age, Xenon discovered the awesome ║
║ capabilities of the IBM/PC XT. This baby was pushing da bitz at 4.77 ║
║ Megahertz. So much for color graphics, but 720x348 was a resolution ║
║ previously unheard of. He darted to school to let the rest of his ║
║ classmates know about his new discovery, but for some reason, they ║
║ seemed disinterested. They were more concerned in the upcoming Sex-ed ║
║ class. The bell rang, and it was time to go home... or better yet, to ║
║ jet down to the garage to see if he could scrounge up some of his dad's ║
║ old "Compute!" magazines. Then, back to his room so he could type in ║
║ some of the included programs and see what they did. If I haven't made ║
║ it obvious enough, Xenon was a happy child. Xenon's brother, who, by ║
║ now was about to graduate from high school, had acquired a version of ║
║ this totally k-rad new programming language called Turbo Pascal. He ║
║ wasn't so thrilled about learning a new language, but then he noticed ║
║ one of his brother's programs, and found out about a new word to add to ║
║ his now 11 year old vocabulary, COMPILE! Long as it may have seemed, it ║
║ would turn out to be a key word in his life. ║
║ ║
║ Turbo Pascal was faster, and could really take advantage of his 4.77 ║
║ Mhz XT. It was now easier to perform more complex tasks (well, as ║
║ complex as an 11 year old mind can do). This was cool. A new thing to ║
║ do in his spare time. He could draw lines, make boxes, fill them in, ║
║ make patterns, and even use fonts! He was now in 8th grade, and again ║
║ he went to class to report of his new findings. But once more, his ║
║ classmates were not interested. When they were thinking about boobs, he ║
║ was thinking about booleans. When they were talking about girls, he was ║
║ talking aboug GotoXY's. ║
║ ║
║ More recently, namely in his Junior year, Xenon met Rebel Chicken, ║
║ and Hitex and Rebel Chicken found a more useful way of using Xenon's ║
║ talents. Instead of having him code random programs "just for fun," we ║
║ used it for extensive work with graphics and sound. So now, you are ║
║ running a program taking advantage of all of his skills. Let me ║
║ continue by explaining a few things about the coding in RCN. I am doing ║
║ this in response to the many letters to the editors that I have received ║
║ in this past week. Many of you have requested to know how RCN is coded. ║
║ What the backbone of it is, and, most importantly, to see its source ║
║ code. I will try to answer all of your questions here, except, of ║
║ course, the last one <grin>. ║
║ ║
║ RCN is coded in Turbo Pascal v7.0 for DOS. Many rumors have erupted ║
║ that we code it completely in Assembly (ASM). Those are completely ║
║ untrue, and there's a very good reason for why they are. It would be ║
║ stupid to. Coding in 100% ASM takes an extremely long amount of time ║
║ and there are no known benefits to doing so for something such as RCN. ║
║ Turbo Pascal v7.0 does a wonderful job of implementing inline assembly ║
║ (ASM code within the Pascal code), and there is no reason to dispute ║
║ that. The bulk of the interface is coded in Pascal, with the single ║
║ exception of the text scroller. That involves changing the vertical ║
║ offset of the text screen, a process called "panning." Nifty, eh? We ║
║ use the BIN format for storing the text screens, simply because it is ║
║ easier to implement into the code, and is one less thing to worry about. ║
║ Well, sort of. It then poses the problem of dealing with files ║
║ exceeding 64k (in the extracted EXE, BIN files compress extremely well). ║
║ Memory is accessed in 64k blocks, and Xenon has implemented impressive ║
║ swapping algorithms that barely cause any delay when viewing the ║
║ magazine. ║
║ ║
║ The 3D design at the beginning of RCN is probably one of the more ║
║ complicated parts of Reality Check Network. It may look simple, but it ║
║ involves the manipulation of polygons on 3 axis, all the while updating ║
║ light shadowing from different angles. The color palette is constantly ║
║ updating to accommodate a wide array of colors while displaying ║
║ different shades of each in the spinning of a mere 3 letters. Groovy, ║
║ isn't it? The RCN ending is the displaying of a 320x200 (we tried ║
║ 640x480 last week, but it made the EXE too big) graphic while doing real ║
║ time rendering of a graphic effect superimposed on it. But by far the ║
║ most complex part of the ending is what to call it. I insist it's a ║
║ magnifying glass, but Rebel Chicken argues that if it were a magnifying ║
║ glass, it would have a stick to hold it by. A friend once suggested ║
║ that it is an elipse of which only one side is displayed but that didn't ║
║ go over too well with Xenon, so we here at RCN studios just refer to it ║
║ as "the thing." ║
║ ║
║ The most impressive part of RCN is, of course, the game. Many ║
║ suggest that we have stolen Tyrian, but I beg to differ. It never took ║
║ you 30 minutes to beat one level of Tyrian. The game engine is coded ║
║ purely in ASM, merely because Xenon has yet to learn how to code a good ║
║ game in Pascal and how to optimize his code so it doesn't require a ║
║ Pentium Pro to run on. The hard part is the randomizing of enemies ║
║ while calculating the position of your ship and its relation to other ║
║ ships and their bullets. Without the use of ASM, all this crawled on a ║
║ Pentium 100. With all this to worry about, we decided Epic Megagames ║
║ wouldn't be too discouraged if we merely "borrowed" their graphics for a ║
║ few weeks. And anyway, it's free advertising. Moreover, the game takes ║
║ a mere 30k zipped, where Tyrian takes 3 disks zipped. ║
║ ║
║ RCN is, still, probably most amazing in its behind-the-scenes work. ║
║ In RCN's Issue #12, we had 8 articles and 8 interviews, but that was ║
║ about where the content ended. All the content, of course, edited and ║
║ looked over by Hitex or Rebel Chicken to insure quality in context as ║
║ well as in content. However, in RCN #14, we added reviews and charts to ║
║ our to-do list, and that lead to an extreme work overload. We decided ║
║ to put Xenon to work (we don't like to see him sitting around, it makes ║
║ us feel guilty). Now, we just do all our work in a regular DOS Edit ║
║ window and never worry about formatting it into a nice looking layout. ║
║ We leave that up to Xenon's "RCN Helper." Hah, and you thought we ║
║ actually slaved over an Acid Draw screen for hours on end. Hell no, DOS ║
║ Edit is much better <grin>. ║
║ ║
║ It seems that technology has always just barely kept up with the ║
║ need of today's software, and the same can be said about RCN. Our ║
║ coding has always just barely kept up with our needs. Using the old ║
║ system of publication, RCN would never make it out the door in one week. ║
║ Using Xenon's latest coding, however, we have the resources needed to ║
║ keep up with the influx of submitted articles and interviews. ║
║ ║
║ Xenon is definitely one of the scene's greatest, we all know that ║
║ without his great coding, RCN would just be an oversized version of ║
║ Inquisition (available on WWW.RCN.ORG), and none of us would want that! ║

║ Subject : A Warez School? ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ The most common way people get started in the warez scene is not for ║
║ prestige or privilge. It is for a couple of applications or games that ║
║ they're after and wish to grab without having to pay for them. When ║
║ they first go into warez rooms on IRC and start trading they suddenly ║
║ feel an immense surge of power from a forbidden well. When they see ║
║ what's on offer, regardless of how big, whether they actually need it or ║
║ not, indeed if they will ever use it after downloading it. They just ║
║ download it anyway, just another bargaining chip to bring to the channel ║
║ for the games or utils they want. It's become the rudimentry currency ║
║ of the internet underground. The months most publicised releases always ║
║ being the most sought after. Then after this introductory phase when ║
║ they have all the software they want they still frequent the channels ║
║ semi-serving to the new traders, a cry of, "What do you want?" will ║
║ always respond with, "What have you got?" when they are at this phase. ║
║ ║
║ Once they tire of this level of interaction on the warez scene they ║
║ move onto trying to provide services for others. Serv-u ftp sites over ║
║ 28.8 are a common sight as well as mIRC fserves. What with all the ║
║ obvious channel names taken they create a new one and invite people onto ║
║ it in the hope it will gain popularity and will become a permanent ║
║ fixture on the IRC landscape. However with their inexperience in ║
║ scrpiting and creating a bot these channels tend to blossom and fold ║
║ with the founder's appearences on the network. More determined ║
║ providers find suppliers outside of IRC and setup small warez groups ║
║ releasing or couriering. These groups don't last very long but with ║
║ perserverence they will get offered a place in a medium sized group and ║
║ start in the scene proper. ║
║ ║
║ After a while playing in these leagues watching all the bigger, ║
║ better groups beat you to releasing and couriering because all the ║
║ members who have something to offer are already working for these ║
║ groups. If you're lucky you'll catch a break and pull of something ║
║ special which will grab the attention of some of the bigger groups then ║
║ you'll get pulled into the big leagues and swap in and out of groups for ║
║ a while until settling in to a group where some of the people they knew ║
║ before in the little leagues have settled as well then it pretty much ║
║ ends there until they quit the scene. ║
║ ║
║ The above bears resemblence to the average life of a warez trader. ║
║ There are some variations, such as moving into the realms of emags based ║
║ on the scene. A sort of niche in the market, if you will. This fine ║
║ magazine bears proof to it. In my opinion, a lot of time could be saved ║
║ if the scene was better organised at the basic level. Letting these ║
║ warez pups (not my choice of term, BTW) run riot in the channels without ║
║ any guidance means they will mature into the scene with anarchistic ║
║ tendancies which lead to immature behavior such as channel takeovers, ║
║ and other things such as narking and all kinds of things which ║
║ ultimately sully the scene. I realize that the very nature of the ║
║ Internet is that of anarchy, however with a little self-restraint we ║
║ might end up with better traders, couriers, and suppliers whose ║
║ decisions are made with sober judgement and experience, not with ║
║ immature emotion and threating behavior. I know it may never happen, ║
║ however I'd like to propose an idea to the scene as whole with I believe ║
║ would lead to an enrichment of the scene while still retaining that ║
║ wild, forbbiden side that entices many to it. Heres what I suggest... ║
║ ║
║ I realize that many of the scene leaders may have grievences against ║
║ each other, and that this may be a reason why this idea would never be ║
║ taken up as it requires an agreement between a large number of groups of ║
║ a standard. The thing is you'd never know what someone was capable of ║
║ until you've given them the chance to prove themselves. The elitist ║
║ nature of the majority of scene members counteract this. Their pride ║
║ won't allow them to accept that there is anyone better than them. I ║
║ suggest that an independent body be created to handle the training of ║
║ these warez pups (again, not my choice of term) and their progress and ║
║ abilities monitored, and at the end of their training some sort of award ║
║ or recognition that they are in some way qualified to do a particular ║
║ job in a warez group. Of course for something like this to be taken ║
║ seriously a lot of groups would have to agree to liason with this ║
║ independent body in order for an appraisal of the applicant or maybe ║
║ indeed groups would solicit this independent body for likely candidates ║
║ whenever an opening in their group became available. If a few groups ║
║ would agree to recognise the recognition this independent body bestowed ║
║ on them the scene would be better organized as this training could ║
║ encompass a wide range of things from FTP methods to general behavior in ║
║ a warez group. I realize of course that this is a dream that will never ║
║ happen due to the already choactic nature of the scene, however if ║
║ enough respected and determined people got together it could happen ║
║ groups could even begin to submit required techniques to the independent ║
║ body for inclusion in their training. How are these pups ever going to ║
║ make it up the ladder without some sort of start that anyone with a bit ║
║ of determination and skill could get. You could count on the fingers of ║
║ one hand the number of groups that provide internal training facilities. ║
║ ║
║ The only way to implement this would be to have it set up with all ║
║ senior members and advisors independent of any other group to insure a ║
║ degree of fair play, then the liason members of the groups that would ║
║ recognise any of the qualifications handed out. Then of course the ║
║ students themselves who would see it as a road into a warez group with a ║
║ solid reputation. It would take some time for the standard to become ║
║ accepted practise. However if more people were trained up at the ║
║ begginer we wouldn't see any of this lamer crap that the elitist types ║
║ come out with. Just because they've been in the scene longer and know ║
║ all their stuff doesn't mean that in three months down the line, this ║
║ supposed lamer wouldn't be running a kick ass warez group and the ║
║ original so-called elite come knocking on his door. ║
║ ║
║ Everybody came from the bottom rung, only those lucky enough to ║
║ catch a break and get or become a good suppiler let their heads swell ║
║ and prat around being k-rad elite. Never forget where you came from, ║
║ you were there once, they are there now, go on. Give them a helping ║
║ hand, you won't regret it. ║

║ Well, here comes a letter from one of its members, not very active ║
║ lately due to personal shit going on. I was very surprised how two of ║
║ your star signs applied directly in an abstract warez <> real life way ║
║ to me and my present situation. ║
║ ║
║ I am an Aries and the part regarding now comes a close to the ║
║ sexiest part of my life seems to sum up how I feel at the moment. My ║
║ ex-girlfriend is a Taurus and she broke up with me on last Tuesday. So ║
║ that's the issue being more easily resolved shit over. I guess the star ║
║ signs were one week late but the days were right. I am writing as I ║
║ feel the warez/pc life had a major part in the breaking up. It all ║
║ dated back to some months when I decided to courier my ass off for NBC. ║
║ I was dcc'ing 15+ gig PER day with 3-5 dcc's kicking non-stop. After ║
║ that I spent nearly 50-70% of my time on the PC (as most people will ║
║ know). I did have a VERY good looking girlfriend who did love me and ║
║ all that shit. But it all came to a head as she missed spending time ║
║ with me and decided to wait and see if i would stop. ║
║ ║
║ Well, of course without her telling me to spend more time with her ║
║ besides sex (guess us males cant read minds like we're supposed to), I ║
║ stayed on the PC and couriered more and more. IRC was also taking a lot ║
║ of time. Anyway to get to the point, yes its fun to courier, chat, and ║
║ dcc on the net but don't let it interfere with your real/love life. ║
║ ║
║ Well, I am now single again and don't feel like spending too much ║
║ time on IRC or FTP sites. I guess moderation is the key and realise ║
║ this even though you're saving $$$$$ by download warez, are you actually ║
║ saving $$ as would you have brought that lame game or util that took 5 ║
║ hours to download because of size and shit. Anway here's to the warez ║
║ scene and I hope it thrives (as more males in the scene = more females ║
║ not getting sex). Thats my 2 cents for once. ║
║ ║
║ *PS* A LONG serving RCN member and not even senior, hehe... ║

║ of small blocks known as "pixels," but the screen of a color monitor is ║
║ also a composite. It's made up of many small red, green, and blue ║
║ phospor dots, and the distance from dot to dot is known as the "dot ║
║ pitch," usually measured in millimeters. Hey, when I first got my PC, I ║
║ didn't know what these meant. So I was just about as lost as any lamer ║
║ who found himself stuck in a #WarezX channel not knowing what "xdcc ║
║ list" meant. ║
║ ║
║ Most PCs are set up to display about 80 to 90 pixels per inch. If ║
║ you're handy with the metric system, you'll see that each pixel covers a ║
║ bit more than a quarter of a milimeter, which is equal to a dot pitch of ║
║ .25mm. That dot pitch is found on some monitors, but .28mm is ║
║ considered acceptable. The smaller and more closely spaced the dots ║
║ are, the sharper the picture will be, and the more the monitor will ║
║ cost. ║
║ ║
║ Like movies and television, computer video is drawn a sequence of ║
║ frames, one after another. The number of frames drawn each second is ║
║ the vertical scan rate. The horizontal scan rate counts rows of pixels ║
║ or "scan lines," per second. These scan rates are controlled by the ║
║ computer's video card, but the monitor still has to be able to keep up ║
║ with the signal it receives. A monitor's scan rates are listed as upper ║
║ and lower limits. If it's fed video outside of this range, the monitor ║
║ won't be able to stay in sync, and the picture will appear to rool on ║
║ the screen. ║
║ ║
║ The vertical scanning rate is rarely a problem. Video cards usually ║
║ operate between 60 and 75Hz, well within the range of most monitors. ║
║ But that frame rate also affects the horizontal scan rate, which you can ║
║ compute by multiplying the number of frames per second by the virtual ║
║ resolution, adding in about 30 invisible lines scanned between video ║
║ frames. If a program runs at 1,204x768 resolution, the video card is ║
║ feeding the monitor 768 lines of video per frame. At a frame rate of ║
║ 72Hz, that means the monitor has to scan more than 57,000 lines per ║
║ second, or 57kHz. High resolution monitors usually have maximum ║
║ horizontal rates of 64kHz or more. ║
║ ║
║ A few features are found on newer monitors which didn't exist at the ║
║ beginning of the decade. Most support VESA's Display Data Channel ║
║ (DDC), which lets the PC tell the monitor to enter a low power, energy ║
║ saving sleep mode. The latest designs are also Plug-n-PLay compatible, ║
║ allowing the operating system to detect the type of monitor that's ║
║ connected. The biggest change we've seen in monitors has been in ║
║ prices, particularly in the larger sized tubes. A big monitor's extra ║
║ display area really helps when you're displaying 800x600 pixels or more ║
║ on the screen. Microsoft Windows has made it easier to use a video ║
║ card's high resolution display modes, making larger monitors much more ║
║ popular. Economy of scale has pushed prices down to the point where 17" ║
║ monitors now start in the low $600's. ║
║ ║
║ That's not bad, but it isn't exactly cheap either, especially when ║
║ you can get a name brand 25" television set for less than $250. But ║
║ there are a couple of reasons why televisions cost so much less, so many ║
║ of them are built, and so little is expected of them. No matter how big ║
║ a TV screen is, it only has to display a standard 525 line, 60 frames ║
║ per second video signal. PC monitor designers assume that you'll want ║
║ 90 or so pixels per inch resolution on any monitor, so a bigger screen ║
║ means more pixels. ║
║ ║
║ The typical 21" monitor has to support resolutions as high as ║
║ 1,600x1,280 pixels, which boosts the horizontal scanning frequency up to ║
║ around 90kHz. The markets that need a monitor like that, CAD, ║
║ publishing, and professional graphics, are very small compared to the PC ║
║ market in general, it isn't so surprising that 21" monitors sell for ║
║ close to $2,000. ║
║ ║
║ But there are some signs that we might be seeing large monitors in ║
║ the future that aren't targeted toward such narrow markets. Toshiba ║
║ offers a 20" television that also functions as a SVGA monitor for around ║
║ $700. Its maximum resolution of 640x480 pixels isn't much of a problem ║
║ for game playing, but it could be limiting for general use. Also, ║
║ Gateway 2000 has announced it plans to offer a VCR-sized system called ║
║ Destination, complete with a 31" monitor and a built-in TV tuner. ║
║ Expect to pay about $4,000 late this fall. ║
║ ║
║ And then there's High Definition Telivision. The Digital HDTV Grand ║
║ Alliance proposal, recommended by the FCC's Advisory Committee on ║
║ Advanced Television Service last November, still awaits final approval ║
║ by the FCC. But the system's highest resolution is 1920x1080, with a ║
║ cinematic 16:9 width to height ratio instead of the now standard 4:3. ║
║ If HDTV catches on, we'll all have television sets that put most current ║
║ PC video monitors to shame. By the most optimistic estimates, HDTV ║
║ should really take off sometime early in the next century. Maybe then ║
║ I'll be able to put this old monitor out to pasture. ║

║ 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 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. ║
║ ║

║ 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. ║
║ ║

║ Dear RoadRebel, ║
║ ║
║ About the disk size/number of disks limit, here are my feelings. It ║
║ is getting to where the 40 disk limit is hard to match. Game sizes keep ║
║ growing, as do utils sizes, we can't keep the limit so low. It would be ║
║ like saying my foot is growing, but I can only buy size 10 shoes. There ║
║ are many utils coming out now that are very large, especially some of ║
║ the operating systems, you don't want only part of an operating system, ║
║ you want the whole thing. I think the size of disks should stay small ║
║ enough to fit on 1 normal 1.44 meg floppy. There should be a group of ║
║ one or 2 leaders from each games and utils group, that have a monthly ║
║ meeting on IRC, for each of their type of releases. They could discuss ║
║ things like this, I personally think the current limit for games should ║
║ be 50, and utils 60. ║
║ ║

║ ║
║ Dear Manic, ║
║ ║
║ 50 disks for a game is fine, if the game is worth it, but when they ║
║ go higher it better be a GOOD game. But I think that this 1.4 meg stuff ║
║ is shit. There is really no point to it anymore, no one uses disks. ║
║ BUT, we need to come up with a new standard for relasing that all groups ║
║ can agree with. I personally think thaty switching to 3 meg disks would ║
║ be the best, BUT it won't happen anytime soon of course. ║
║ ║
╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣
║ ║
║ Dear Road Rebel, ║
║ ║
║ I'm sure you have probably read about this topic in a computer game ║
║ magazine, but I'm telling you straight out, from warez kid, to warez ║
║ kid. Many Groups like to release the games that are big, and are over ║
║ at least 30 megs. That is how it seems to be to me. I myself solely ║
║ judge a game on how long I play it, which sooner or later leads to ║
║ "gameplay." If companies such as Origin keep releasing such big games, ║
║ like Wing Commander 4 (6 cd's), who is going to want to rip that, and ║
║ release that? Exactly, no one. My point is, I understand it is not the ║
║ releasing groups faults releasing big games, like Vikings, and Front ║
║ Page Sports Baseball 96 by Razor 1911. I like to courier warez, for DSC ║
║ (Dark Side Couriers) and for PTA (Power Trading Arsenal) but aside from ║
║ all the couriering, I also like to play the games. I don't think I am ║
║ the only one either. ║
║ ║
║ As a tip for releasing groups, look for games that you can play, ║
║ instead of watching, because most of the big games are packed with ║
║ boring, full motion video. Don't get me wrong, full motion video was ║
║ awesome, when it first came out. But now that FMV is overplayed, and is ║
║ found in most games, it is more boring than exciting. Also, I have seen ║
║ a couple games where FMV has been perfectly filled in, to occupy ONE cd, ║
║ and an occasional TWO cds, but when you get to 4,5, and 6 cds, what the ║
║ hell? To be totally honest with you, I had more fun playing the game ║
║ packed in the RCN E-Mags, than I did playing Wing Commander III. If ║
║ more games were released that you could play, more people would play ║
║ them. ║

║ ║
║ Dear Retix, ║
║ ║
║ I agree somewhat, BUT, I have played some larger games that I think ║
║ were ripped perfect. A good case is Afterlife by Lucas Arts, the game ║
║ was 40 disks which made most people avoid it, BUT, I leeched it and it ║
║ was WELL worth the time, the only thing really ripped was the scenarios. ║
║ I asked Prestige to release them seperate, but of course I have leeched ║
║ huge shit that sucked. As for FMV, most of it BLOWS! Rip that shit ║
║ outa there! ║

║ ║
║ Dear RoadRebel, ║
║ ║
║ In concern to the file size of many programs, I feel that it is a ║
║ waste to release programs more than like 20 disks because on my BBS I ║
║ noticed if I put a file online that is bigger than 12 disks, it rarely ║
║ gets downloaded unless the hype is so good for instance like Duke Nukem. ║
║ Why would someone waste their time downloading something for maybe 3 to ║
║ 4 days and then have it needing a fix or not working all together. ║
║ ║
║ Most people that I deal with on my system don't even have the ║
║ greatest computers with hard drives of like 800 megs. Why are they ║
║ going to want something taking up like 200 megs??? I think it is good ║
║ to make some CD-rips but do them in parts like some groups are beginning ║
║ to do like make it a mininum CD-rip then for all those who have the time ║
║ and space make a sound addon then a graphics addon so that everyone who ║
║ wants to enjoy the game can have a chance to. ║
║ ║
║ For instance, people on my BBS want a Need for Speed SE minimum ║
║ CD-Rip because 56 disks is just way too many to download. I think ║
║ bigger releases are good though for Internet traders with shells because ║
║ they have the ability to grab the files a lot quicker. ║

║ ║
║ Dear HBKid, ║
║ ║
║ Well, I will leech anything off a bbs if I have the time, BUT, when ║
║ I was a sysop, I know that some people wouldn't go over like 10 disks so ║
║ I know what you are saying. I also think Need for Speed SE was a waste ║
║ of time, I mean come on. I think we would feel better about these huge ║
║ games if the release groups would use their minds and look at what they ║
║ are releasing first. ║

║ ║
║ Dear Road Rebel, ║
║ ║
║ There has been a lot of crap said about IRC operators in RCN lately, ║
║ and a lot more said about them in channel #RCN. I'd like to begin by ║
║ saying that IRC ops are NOT our enemies. Sure, we've all ran into them, ║
║ and we've all sworn revenge at one point or another, but if you know how ║
║ to deal with them, it isn't that big of a deal. Let me offer a few ║
║ suggestions. ║
║ ║
║ IRC ops do NOT take out personal vendettas. When they /kill you, ║
║ they are doing their job. Only once was I mistakenly /killed and not ║
║ apologized too. They have a rather difficult job to do. You've got to ║
║ remember that not everyone uses mass cloning to flood people and stuff. ║
║ People don't know anything about it, and those people shouldn't have to ║
║ put up with it. IRC ops are trying to keep IRC up and running for ║
║ beginners. Back in the day EfNet was created, it was just that. ║
║ However with the adding of more servers and the attraction IRC had too ║
║ good coders/hackers, people found ways to take advantages of bugs in ║
║ servers. ║
║ ║
║ DO NOT RUN CLONES. It's that freaking simple. If you are so lame ║
║ you can't take out a channel with a time stamp collider, foreign ║
║ servers, or some ICMP flooding, then don't bother coming in to harass ║
║ people with your clones. There are so many people who think crap like ║
║ textbox and smoke are the coolest things around, but think about it, if ║
║ they were, why would they be freely distributed? ║
║ ║
║ Understand that IRC ops are just doing their job. If they /kill ║
║ you, apologize, show you don't hold it against them. They don't sit ║
║ there /kill'ing people going "hehehHEEHEHEhehehehheh yeah cool cool die ║
║ die heehehaehHEHEHE." No, they are simply trying to keep EfNet free of ║
║ lamers. Most of them don't give a crap about it, just wait until they ║
║ go away and do it again. ║
║ ║
║ I have made a LOT of IRC op friends. They are pretty damn fun to ║
║ talk to, if you just give them a chance. They've helped/saved my ass on ║
║ more than one occasion. I know for a fact almost every major IRC op ║
║ knows I run a crapload of bots, but they don't go around k-lining me ║
║ because it isn't a big deal. And I'm nice about it. I've been told ║
║ before by various IRC ops that another IRC op or them doesn't like my ║
║ bot on their server. So I take it off, no big deal at all. Don't argue ║
║ with individuals. It's their machine, they can do whatever they want. ║
║ One time, an oper from epix.net said I was "famous." Heh, I did a ║
║ little digging and found out I have been talked about sometimes. The ║
║ point is this, we're all bad ass IRC hackers, yeah, we know. ║
║ ║
║ Try and remember, just for a second, back to your first time on IRC. ║
║ Yeah, you're sitting there on your Netcom shell account, loaded ircII ║
║ and wondering how the HELL you talk to people. After spending about 2 ║
║ hours in the help files for ircII you figure it's time to type ║
║ /channelsor whatever it was and join the first thing that caught your ║
║ eye. So you join up#!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!3yearoldsexpicswithrblchickn ║
║ and expect to find some rather interesting discussion, only instead to ║
║ find the channel taken over and you suddenly quit irc with "Excess ║
║ Flood." Well, you would have had NO idea how to defend yourself. This ║
║ is what IRC ops are for, to help the new guys. Everytime an IRC op ║
║ steps in to make me give back a channel I've taken over, he always says ║
║ "Just let things cool down and take it back later tonight, I got a job ║
║ to do here." Or something like that. And don't go knocking Moogle, ║
║ he's killed my bots a couple times, but he saved #Sailormoon twice last ║
║ week. ║
║ ║
║ The point I'm trying to make here guys, is show a little ║
║ understanding and cooperation. You might make a rather powerful friend. ║
║ And even if you don't, you always got someone who won't hesitate to ║
║ answer a question or help you out when you are having problems. It's ║
║ what they are for, they aren't all fascist dictators, nor are they all ║
║ Communists, so don't sweat it. The last thing to remember is, NEVER ║
║ flood an IRC op. If you're that stupid, you deserve whatever you get. ║

║ Dear Lightwing, ║
║ ║
║ I don't think we said that all IRC ops are dicks, BUT, I would ║
║ venture say say at least 50% are power hungry pricks that like to push ║
║ people around. But, I have also learned you can get a lot done just ║
║ talking to IRC ops and not bitching at them. As far as not ragging, ║
║ Moogle goes. I think an IRC op that make a statement "I can kill people ║
║ for no reason if I want to" should be screwed with and pissed off as ║
║ much as possible. That is like a cop saying, "I can shoot people for no ║
║ reason." And you forgot to say, IRC ops all seem to know each other, ║
║ and they all talk. I am banned off servers I have never been on, and ║
║ some I have never done anything wrong on! ║

║ 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 : Positive planetary movement when Jupiter is ║
║ linked to Mercury will bring a new upward hill toward all goals. Things ║
║ may seem though, but your labor will prove worthwhile if you stuck with ║
║ it! ║
║ ║
╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢
║ ║
║ <Aquarius> (January 21 to February 19) : Your consideration of a ║
║ leadership position in a prominent warez group would benefit ║
║ from a second opinion, so try to keep an open mind. A ║
║ long-term decision made later in the week will reap rewards ║
║ at the end of the month. Trust your intuition. ║
║ ║
║ <Pisces> (February 20 to March 20) : A romantic, creative or group ║
║ objective is well within your grasp as long as you have the ║
║ courage and commitment to pursue it. The Sun and Mercury in ║
║ your fellow water sign of Cancer are focusing on the sunny side ║
║ of life. This is your week, enjoy it! ║
║ ║
║ <Aries> (March 21 to April 20) : Friendly persuasion will serve you ║
║ better than strongarm tactics this week. Pay close attention to ║
║ particulars that hang with you in group IRC channels, and avoid ║
║ being excessively ambitious. Thursday's Sun-Mercury liaison ║
║ will help you resolve a conflict you may have with some friends ║
║ in a group IRC channel, but you must first be willing to let ║
║ others have their say. ║
║ ║
║ <Taurus> (April 21 to May 21) : An offer or opportunity may sound better ║
║ than it really is, but it is still worth exploring. With ║
║ Mercury and Jupiter united early in the week, you may be ║
║ tempted to state your terms a little too forcefully. Listen to ║
║ those who know more than you do. ║
║ ║
║ <Gemini> (May 22 to June 21) : With your ruler Mercury linked to both ║
║ Jupiter and the Sun, you can put the finishing touches on ║
║ relationships as long as you recognize the risks involved. ║
║ Don't allow yourself to be sidetracked by people who have more ║
║ time but less good sense than you. ║
║ ║
║ <Cancer> (June 22 to July 23) : Positive planetary activity in the ║
║ partnership angel of your solar chart will enhance an existing ║
║ relationship or pave the way for a new one. Plans made toward ║
║ the end of the week should reach fruition around the Full Moon ║
║ on the 30th. ║
║ ║
║ <Leo> (July 24 to August 23) : You must determine whether to follow your ║
║ gut feelings or take the logical approach regarding admission to a ║
║ group this week. Stick with your instincts and you won't go far ║
║ wrong. The Sun, your ruler, aligned with Mercury on Thursday will ║
║ bring good advice from an unexpected direction. ║
║ ║
║ <Virgo> (August 24 to September 23) : Money or worries about a position ║
║ in a prominent warez group may be causing you to neglect other ║
║ responsibilities, but with your ruler Mercury positively linked ║
║ to Jupiter and the Sun this week, you are wonderfully placed to ║
║ decide how best to satisfy your personal needs. Don't be afraid ║
║ to spend time and money on yourself. You deserve it! ║
║ ║
║ <Libra> (September 24 to October 23 ) : No matter how disruptive the ║
║ events of the past 12 months have been, your life now appears to ║
║ be on an upward curve. In fact, this week's stimulating ║
║ celestial influences should make you realize just how close you ║
║ are to reaching a certain goal. Just be careful not to overlook ║
║ an important detail. ║
║ ║
║ <Scorpio> (October 24 to November 22) : Something that seems like a ║
║ brilliant scheme may turn out to be no more than a routine ║
║ idea when inventive Mercury joins forces with optimistic ║
║ Jupiter early in the week. Go ahead by all means, but be sure ║
║ you appreciate the plan's true nature before committing to it. ║
║ ║
║ <Sagittarius> (November 23 to December 21) : Matters of group status and ║
║ affiliation are once again on the agenda, but now it ║
║ appears that you have a very real shot at improving your ║
║ circumstances. Your ruler, Jupiter, linked to Mercury, ║
║ may provide you with a sensible solution as long as there ║
║ are not too many strings attached. ║
║ ║
║ <Capricorn> (December 22 to January 20) : Someone close is about to put ║
║ forward a proposal or suggestion that could have lasting ║
║ implications. Knowing exactly what you want from the ║
║ relationship will offer the best chance of achieving it. ║
║ Don't be influenced by other's advice, your own judgment is ║
║ sound. ║

║ Author : Trip ║
║ Subject : Phreaking for the Absolute Beginner ║
║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ First off, you need to know that phone phreaking is ILLEGAL, and you ║
║ can get in trouble for it. But let's not worry about that yet. For the ║
║ beginner phreaker, I would suggest beige-boxing. Beige-boxing let's you ║
║ use somebody elses' phone line to make calls. Calls that THEY have to ║
║ pay for. Here is what you are going to need : ║
║ ║
║ 1.) A regular old touch-tone phone ║
║ 2.) A regular phone cord ║
║ 3.) Wire strippers ║
║ 4.) 2 alligator clips ║
║ 5.) Screwdriver ║
║ 6.) Electrical tape ║
║ 7.) Some 900 numbers to have fun with ║
║ ║
║ All right, so you have all this stuff and now you need to know what ║
║ to do with it. First off, you will need to cut one end of your phone ║
║ cord off. Now strip the outside covering off about 4-5 inches. You ║
║ should see a red, green, yellow and a black wire. You will not be ║
║ needing the yellow or the black one, so you can either cut them both off ║
║ or leave them there. Now you need to strip the covering off the red and ║
║ the green wires. This normally can't be done with regular ║
║ wire-strippers, so I just use a knife. ║
║ ║
║ After you have the RED and the GREEN wires stripped, you need to ║
║ attach the green one to a green alligator clip (preferrably) and the red ║
║ one to a red alligator clip. It makes it a lot easier to match the wire ║
║ colors to the color of the alligator clips (the color thing isn't ║
║ important now, but it will be after you become more advanced. Now you ║
║ need to cover up this connection between the alligator clips and the ║
║ wires by wrapping it with electrical tape. ║
║ ║
║ Now, you are ready to find a house or a phone box to phreak. It is ║
║ a LOT easier and safer beige-boxing off somebody elses' house that is to ║
║ beige-box a bell phone box (phone boxes are what you see in front of ║
║ your house, and on the side of the street, etc.). To find a house to ║
║ phreak, you will need to take a look around your neighborhood. It is ║
║ safest to do it on some old ladies' house who lives close to you. And ║
║ only do this at night, after 11 pm is always good. The house should be ║
║ somewhat close to your house, because you don't want to have to walk ║
║ through a big neighborhood late at night, especially if you are under ║
║ 18, because the cops will stop you and ask you what you are doing, and ║
║ ask you what's in your back pack. It would really suck to have to open ║
║ your bag and pull out a beige-box for the cop. And they get pissed and ║
║ tell you to go home. ║
║ ║
║ Once you have found a house, be aware of your surroundings. Be sure ║
║ there are not people, feds, and pac-bell workers around. Now you will ║
║ need to go to the side of the house, where the utilities are. The ║
║ utilities consist of the fuse box, television, and TELEPHONE!. You ║
║ should see two panels, one labeled "television", and one labeled ║
║ "telephone" with a little bell logo on it. As I hope you already have ║
║ figured out, we will be using the one that says "telephone." Using a ║
║ flathead screwdriver, take off the panel, and you should see a grey ║
║ rubber covering. Take the rubber covering off, and you will see a small ║
║ black box with 4 screws sticking out or you might see 4 bolts sticking ║
║ out. Now take your alligator clips and clip them both onto 2 of the 4 ║
║ screws. Now plug the phone cord into the phone, pick up the phone, and ║
║ you should now have a dial tone! ║
║ ║
║ If you do not have a dial tone, you may not have connected the phone ║
║ cord wires to the alligator clips correctly, or you may need to ║
║ re-adjust the alligator clips onto the screw, or try the other 2 screws. ║
║ You can now call wherever you want and it doesn't cost you a penny. To ║
║ find out the number that you are calling from, call 1-800-MY-ANI-IS. ║
║ ║
║ When you are done, make SURE that you cover up your tracks, so ║
║ suspision of your presence does not arouse. I ususally crank-call ║
║ people in New York (I am in California by the way) and fuck with them. ║
║ Another cool thing to do is call up some 900 numbers. Boy those numbers ║
║ really get expensive. I've seen $7.50 per MINUTE. But who gives a ║
║ fuck, you don't have to pay for it. Harrassing the operator is also ║
║ fun. Have fun my fellow phreaks. ║

║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Entropy, why the hell did you invite me here? You know I'm ║
║ not gay. I don't even like being in channels like this. ║
║ ║
║ <Entropy> I heard rumors that you were desperate for a relationship. I ║
║ heard you weren't having much success with girls, so may be ║
║ you should give up on the opposite sex and start looking for ║
║ relationships with gay men like me. ║
║ ║
║ * Entropy kisses Rebel Chicken. Let's do more. I'm free for tonight. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Eeeeiiiiiwwwww... what the hell... get away from me. I'd ║
║ rather fuck a cow than fuck a man. ║
║ ║
║ <Entropy> A cow rather than me? That hurts. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Yea, that's right, I'd rather fuck a cow like Winterhauk ║
║ than you. ║
║ ║
║ <Entropy> Hey, I'm only doing this to you as favor. I thought you'd be ║
║ lonely. My friend Incarnate told me that you're Asian, and I ║
║ dig little Asian boys. They're so fun to play with. :) ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Yes, I'm Asian, but I'm not a little boy, and I'm not a toy ║
║ for you to play with. Why the hell do you like little Asian ║
║ boys anyway? ║
║ ║
║ <Entropy> I gather great pleasure from fucking little boys, especially ║
║ Asian ones. Little Asian boys have tight anuses, it's more ║
║ fun when it's nice and tight. You should try it. :) ║
║ ║
║ * Entropy gives RblChickn more kisses and a BIG perverted smile. :) ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Dam, I never knew you were gay. I used to respect you. You ║
║ used to be smart, and you used to be straight. How did all ║
║ this happen? Who did this to you? Who made you turn gay? ║
║ ║
║ <Entropy> Nobody made me gay. And don't call me gay, I'd rather call ║
║ myself a chick with a dick. But there's no use hiding any ║
║ longer, I've been gay all my life. I've just been living a ║
║ lie, and if you ever hear me say that I'm not gay, then it's ║
║ only because I'm in a state of denial. When I'm telling the ║
║ truth, I can easily come out and tell people that I like being ║
║ fruity. I'm a faggot, and I like anuses. ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> You've been gay all your life and you've just been hiding ║
║ it? I pity you then. Some of us are just more fortunate ║
║ than others, I have little drive to go out and cruise for ║
║ chicks, but you've just been born with some kind of penis ║
║ defect or something. None of us were born perfect, but ║
║ you... you're a freak of nature. ║
║ ║
║ <Entropy> I guess so. Well, my friend Incarnate, he's gay too. He was ║
║ the one who taught me how to fuck anuses. I guess I started ║
║ hanging around Incarnate too much. Some of Incarnate must ║
║ have rubbed off on me, or maybe he just rubbed me too hard one ║
║ night or something. ║
║ ║
║ *** Incarnate ([email protected]) has joined channel #Gaysex ║

║ <RblChickn> Speaking of the devil... ║
║ ║
║ <Entropy> Hi honey! ║
║ ║
║ <RblChickn> Fuck this, I don't want to start hanging around you guys too ║
║ much, you guys might try to pirate my anus or something. ║

║ ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ ║
║ Why did I write this? I thought RCN may need a relief breaker from ║
║ all of the usual stuff. Do not take the following list too seriously. ║
║ Heheheh... I just thought of this stuff up. And by the way. The Quiet ║
║ Riot, go take that lame group NFS (Need for Speed) and shove it up your ║
║ ass. That so called ripped install.exe was used by a group! So go ║
║ fucking steal a life. ║
║ ║
║ As we know, the world has enough nuclear missles to blow up the ║
║ world exactly 9 times. The following are the top ten reasons why we ║
║ can't blow up the world 9 times : ║
║ ║
║ THE TOP TEN LIST! ║
║ ----------------- ║
║ ║
║ 10.) If the world blew up, where would we get hot dogs? ║
║ ║
║ 9.) Because I want to live! ║
║ ║
║ 8.) Rebel Chicken is still a virgin! ║
║ ║
║ 7.) We can't find the key to unlock the failsafes on the missles. ║
║ ║
║ 6.) We got alien invaders in my backyard stealing all the ║
║ plutonium! ║
║ ║
║ 5.) We have to wait until July 4th. I want to see the movie ║
║ Independance Day. ║
║ ║
║ 4.) Your mother is so fat that she would shield part of the world ║
║ from the explosion. ║
║ ║
║ 3.) Once you blow up the world once, you can't blow it up again! ║
║ ║
║ 2.) Damned President Clinton already sold all of our nuclear ║
║ weapons to the Communist Soviets. ║
║ ║
║ And the number 1 reason is : ║
║ ║
║ 1.) There wouldn't be any more RCNs made! ;) ║

║ 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. ║
║ ║
║ ■ A preview of the shirt can viewed upon pressing escape. ║
║ ║
║ ■ Special orders take up to 4 weeks for shipping. ║

║ ║
║ 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. ║
