T$=T$+"Hi there, this is Jason of P.I.C. , and this is the first time I've every managed to get a scroll that looked"
T$=T$+"even half way decent! Admittedly I've borrowed most of the routines from other people - then again , who doesn't"
T$=T$+" borrow every now and again! (Come on now, can any one of you out there sincerely say that you've never ever borrowed"
T$=T$+" even a few bits of some one else's code? ?????...) If in doubt ------ Cheat!...... "
T$=T$+" as we at P.I.C. say - well, who the hell are we ? Well Partners in Crime is a Play-by-mail firm i run - sometimes at least"
T$=T$+" and me and the 'partners' - say hi everybody - moderate a game called conquest. As it happens, the other's don't know I'm"
T$=T$+" writing this - they think I'm doing the coding for our next project!......"
T$=T$+" So without further ado - I'd like to quickly do a couple of Hellos - to the other partners - Sean 'Surfer' Parsons & Gail 'Ace' Walsh -------====----"
T$=T$+" Other Hi's to Elf , Imp / T.I.M.I.T.D. (Don't ask!....), Fuzzy, and all the remaining Hacker's anon - if there is any of you left ?.... All nice original and wholesome pseudo names huh?!?"
T$=T$+" Well, like I say - they don't know I'm writting this, so I can say basically anything I like - oh the freedom of it all - sort of leaves me with a problem don't it!...."
T$=T$+" So, I suppose I'd better plug Partners in Crime - What do you think this whole thing is about - it's a public service announcement! - Did you know that a Play-by-mail"
T$=T$+" firm is a 'service industry' - I didn't! - You learn something new every day! Still, I hope you enjoy the programs with this - so saying i don't quite know what the system is at APD - if they"
T$=T$+" split the programs across disks as they see fit or What - any answers on that count ? In the future ? Well, I hope to be able to bring you a chopped down version of conquest - although"
T$=T$+" I don't mind if you decide you'd like to join the full game - send an SAE to the address below for more details, and a role-playing-game called 'labyrinth' as well as - and wait for it - the long"
T$=T$+" asked for Bibble part 3. If you're luckier I'll persuade the elf to convert slip tide to the amiga - then theres none of us will sleep again."
T$=T$+" So, I'd quite like to hear from anyone out there, on subjects ranging from Play-by-mail, role-playing to computers in general + anything else ! I would like to find out more about the sort of people"
T$=T$+" who actually read crap like this. Ok, I'll spare you further drivvelling. The address is - J Banks, Partners In Crime, 96 Valley View, Lemington, Newcastle-upon-Tyne,ne158bg - write if you like,"
T$=T$+" but if you want a reply - please , please , please , send an SAE or you'll bankrupt me !..... Bye for now......."
