The editors of Reality Check Network took a │ │ short break about 3 months ago, but we've decided that the scene │ │ currently lacks a comprehensive magazine to inform the warez public of │ │ new things that occur. So, we're back, and better than ever!!! │ │ │ │ There are a number of new things in this issue. First of all, part │ │ of the coding has been redone, so RCN has a new look. Next, we now have │ │ a pop-up options menu that can be activated from anywhere in the │ │ magazine, so if you're in the middle of reading an article and want to │ │ change something (such as the music volume) you can do so without │ │ exiting the article first. This issue also contains a "secret article." │ │ Well no, it's not completely secret, but to read it, you'll need a │ │ password, and to get that password, you'll have to beat the built-in │ │ game! Good luck! │ │ │ │ As always, we value your opinion. Improvements are constantly being │ │ made as a direct result of user input. If you would like to participate │ │ in the further enhancement of RCN, or would like to send a letter to the │ │ editors (or to a writer in particular) please send e-mail to │ │ an385786@anon.penet.fi. Note that we are no longer accepting │ │ subscribers to the magazine. The reason is that the anon.penet.fi │ │ server will not let us send attached files over 100k in size unless we │ │ split them up, and that would be confusing for both us and the readers. │ │ To make up for that, we offer a WWW site accessible via the Internet. │ │ All issues will be promptly posted there. For more information, read │ │ on. │ │ │ │ In an effort to better interact with our readers, the editors of │ │ RCN have devised a reader survey, and would appreciate it if you would │ │ take the time to respond to it. After completion of the survey, you │ │ simply need to send it attached to the above e-mail address. Note that │ │ we prefer NOT getting messages encoded in MIME format. We also have a │ │ voting booth so the readers can give input on their favorite groups. │ │ │ │ New this issue are some little twirks that might sizzle your buns! │ │ For those of you that feel more confortable holding a mouse, we now have │ │ mouse support! Oh, and for those of you that want to take RCN with you │ │ wherever you go, you can now print articles and/or the entire mag (if │ │ you're really cray-zee). Oh, and if you hate that rotating music that │ │ we added last issue, you can turn it on and off in the Options menu. │ │ Note that it defaults to off. We also have a new music track care of │ │ Reality, the best Adlib composing team around! │ │ │ │ Don't forget to keep sending in your votes for the groups you feel │ │ are #1, and test your wits of the scene in our Warez-IQ questionnaire, │ │ 10 new questions in this issue! We still have an ASCII version of the │ │ mag for those of you running UNIX/Linux, or those of you that want to │ │ save credits on your boards and view the RCN-??.TXT file in a ZIP <g>. │ │ │ │ RCN issues have now been made available to a wider audience thanks │ │ to our new WebSite courtesy of RATM. Please feel free to browse around │ │ - http://www.shu.edu/~importmi/rcn/. RCN ardently feels that our │ │ WebSite will satisfy our readers and is a welcome addition to our │ │ methods of distribution. │ │ │ │ Celestian, the RCN ANSi art coordinator, will no longer be accepting │ │ any requests for ANSi artwork outside of RCN. Between his artwork for │ │ RCN and DMN, he can longer find time to do any freelance artwork. He │ │ has been receiving requests nonstop and would like to have a little │ │ peace here and then. │ │ │ │ Signed, │ │ Hitex/Rebel Chicken │ │ RCN Editors │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ I see an obvious bias in the RCN reviews against DOD in favor of ║ ║ higher scores toward PWA, and it sickens me.

We intentionally dropped ║ ║ Legacy when we started up RCN again for the sole purpose of keeping an ║ ║ unbiased position when writing. We have absolutely no reason to be ║ ║ biased towards or against anybody, and any mail that you might send us ║ ║ regarding the matter will be used purely for the purpose of a good ║ ║ laugh. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now as for my opinions on PWA vs. DOD, I think DOD has better ║ ║ quality, and PWA has more releases. However, that is just a reflection ║ ║ of the past four weeks and is in NO WAY a consistent view of the groups. ║ ║ My opinion of the groups fluctuates weekly. One week, PWA does better, ║ ║ the next week DOD does better. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Hitex/Rebel Chicken ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ I'm a member of Razor 1911 and I've been reading your E-Zine and I ║ ║ think it's great. LOTS of articles that keep you reading for a long ║ ║ time. Now, I have a gripe. In your Warez-IQ test, question #4 states, ║ ║ "What group is known for releasing FLOPPY games?" You only desired one ║ ║ answer, but Eclipse and Razor 1911 are the best candidates. Now I know ║ ║ you wanted people to choose Eclipse, but the thing is, Eclipse hasn't ║ ║ released a floppy in MONTHS! Razor 1911 on the other hand, has released ║ ║ a handful (probably two in the last week alone). ║ ║ ║ ║ Also, Tyranny is releasing floppy games as well, as they are one of ║ ║ the old school floppy game releasers (not saying the old Tyranny floppy ║ ║ releases were quality, but at least they were floppy). ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Toast ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Toast, ║ ║ ║ ║ Thank you for your response! You make a good point in revealing ║ ║ that some CD-RIP game groups do a better job of releasing floppy games ║ ║ than some floppy-only game groups. However, our question desired a ║ ║ response regarding a games group that releases nothing but floppy games, ║ ║ no CD-RIPs whatsoever, and Eclipse is the only one on that list. ║ ║ Tyranny has recently moved to CD-RIPs as well, and Razor 1911 (I don't ║ ║ distinguish Razor 1911 from Razor-CD), though an awesome group, is also ║ ║ participating in the CD-RIP scene.

Once it gets its bugs with ║ ║ blind uploads and networking/multinode out of the way it will be a kick ║ ║ ass system. PPE coders should start to look at other systems since just ║ ║ about every PPE that could possibly be done is already made. The reason ║ ║ that PCBoard is so popular is that there are so many mods for it out on ║ ║ the boards. Coders should start making new Renegade and Iniquity mods ║ ║ that take all the strengths of PCBoard and give it to those systems. ║ ║ Boards that use PCBoard are beginning to look all the same with all the ║ ║ same or similar mods. There is a need for Renegade and Ininuqity ║ ║ modders who can make quality mods. Some of you coders should start ║ ║ cranking them out. ACiD used to be the only group that had a Renegade ║ ║ and Iniquity support section. It would be cool if some warez groups ║ ║ started to recruit some artists and coders and put them to work making ║ ║ practical. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Skeelo Blow ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Skeelo Blow, ║ ║ ║ ║ I used to be a Renegade freak. I still think it's by far the most ║ ║ user-friendly BBS system, and I still don't know half of what PCBoard ║ ║ can do because it's so hard to figure out. I have the 4 commands I ║ ║ know and need to use to be able to get around, leech, upload, and read ║ ║ messages, and I don't think my knowledge of PCBoard will get much better ║ ║ any time soon. However, you're going to have a hard time arguing that ║ ║ any other system is superior. Why? Simple. Try running Renegade in ║ ║ multinode. 2 nodes? Cool. Try 3. Still alive? You're lucky. Try ║ ║ 16, like some of the larger boards in the scene (such as Park Central) ║ ║ and you'll qickly find a crash. PCB is the only system I know of that ║ ║ can do that so well (except for WildCat, but I don't think I need to ║ ║ waste my time commenting). Still, though, I agree that it would be ║ ║ nice if he Renegade modification groups came back around, many single ║ ║ node boards still run it. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Hitex/Rebel Chicken ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ It's great to see you back!

It's kind of my ║ ║ dedication to #Oldwarez. It's a big old bot, run from my own ║ ║ StockServ software, that contains at the time 479 of the best old ║ ║ games. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are your current and past affiliations? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : I began with MiRAGE several years back (best run group I've ever ║ ║ been in - Thanks Kafka F. Kaska), it then merged and became GRiM. ║ ║ GRiM merged with iCE, so I joined a bunch of local groups (CHAOS, ║ ║ NARC, MoS), then BoA and after a while iCE. I quit iCE after 2-3 ║ ║ days of being in it because I realized that it was all bullshit, ║ ║ no sense in being in that kind of group. I had no affiliations ║ ║ for two years until fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) stalked me. ║ ║ I then joined 8088 which is now a defunct old warez release and ║ ║ courier group which fell apart. I quit fATE and that was it for ║ ║ me. I probably won't join any more groups. I never got into that ║ ║ kr4d 3l33t idea of affiliations anyways. I can survive on my ║ ║ handle alone. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : fATE stalked you, or did a persistent Krypto persuade you to join? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : Thanks to some friends I made in #Hardwire from the "Under the ║ ║ Gate" project on CyberGate, (namely Krypto, Aristotle, and ║ ║ Devaste) I hung out in #Fate. Then, I saw the fATE's diz-tagger, ║ ║ and lauged. I coded a better diz-tagger and Anti Derivative let ║ ║ me into the group. Now my diz-tagger has been all hacked up and ║ ║ is used by a lot of courier groups (too bad they never got the ║ ║ latest version though). Then I couriered my sweet will heart out ║ ║ (10.5 gigs per day babee!). ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What made you decide to come up with Stockade? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : I started to get interested in old warez back in December when I ║ ║ was with fATE. I began to offer them, and my offer list grew to ║ ║ the point of having 131 files on one XDCC List, I plisted in ║ ║ #Oldwarez every 45 minutes, until I thought of a better way which ║ ║ would be to automatically distribute automated text files with the ║ ║ file list/descriptions in them. Then I worked from there into ║ ║ what it is now. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The newest warez are what people seem to want most and is the ║ ║ heart of the business. Have you seen a similar resurgence in old ║ ║ warez? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : Not at all, in fact, I've seen more and more people cramming to ║ ║ get into #Oldwarez. The channel has only grown since I first ║ ║ joined it 18 months ago. People are fed up with 50 disk Doom ║ ║ clones that sometimes work, but only on a Pentium 166MHz with 16 ║ ║ megabytes of RAM. I think the smart people are the ones dealing ║ ║ with #Oldwarez. Then they're dealing with games that have been ║ ║ proven to work, games that are programmed well and games that have ║ ║ GAMEPLAY. I haven't played a game written in the past two years ║ ║ with any sense of gameplay in it. It's all shoot-em-up, bang'em ║ ║ out Doom clones and such. They're all mindless dribble to feed ║ ║ the masses I suppose. What happened to the good stuff such as ║ ║ Populous, Curse of the Azure Bonds, King's Quest IV, Dune II, ║ ║ etc.? I feel that the only game released in the past year or so ║ ║ with any decent quality is Command and Conquer, but then again, it ║ ║ only works well on a Pentium platform. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How much old warez do you pile in every day? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : I get around 40 to 60 megs of uploads per day. Some of the ║ ║ uploaded games are already online, some of the uploaded games ║ ║ suck, and some are just way too big or too new. But there's ║ ║ usually about 10-20 games I can pick out per day to add onto the ║ ║ bot. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You were originally a member of fATE. What made you decide to ║ ║ leave fATE and was it your plan to leave fATE in order to further ║ ║ develop Stockade? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : Yes, I was originally in fATE (which by the way, was a REAL ║ ║ hardcore rocking group, at least when I was in it). Besides being ║ ║ paranoid of my shell administrator, and being fed up with some of ║ ║ the really unfair shit going on in groups, I did for a large part ║ ║ leave so I could work on the old warez business. You can say that ║ ║ I finally "saw the light" and joined up with the #Oldwarez crew to ║ ║ work on Stockade, which was originally nothing more than an ║ ║ extremely long XDCC List called "OldJekyl". ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Are you glad you left fATE for the old warez scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : I miss a lot of the old fATE crew, but those guys aren't even in ║ ║ fATE anymore anyways. I do miss the 5 am login to the sites, ║ ║ writing my DCC lists, and running my XDCC-HTML convertor to make ║ ║ the WWW for the slowbies. There was a sort of a "thrill" involved ║ ║ with new warez, an infatuation I suppose. Everyone wants to try ║ ║ the new warez, but in the end, old games are always more sought ║ ║ out after. I'm very glad I left the new shit alone. The old ║ ║ warez scene is more "homely" and down to earth. And when you get ║ ║ a game, you know that there's a 99% chance it's not a fake. Old ║ ║ warez, to put it short and sweet, blows the toad right outta any ║ ║ new warez any day of the week. Well, maybe Windows v1.03 isn't ║ ║ that attractive, but I'm referring to games :) ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How often is Stockade accessed every day? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : Stockade transfers about 500-1000 games a day. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Where do you get most of your files from for Stockade? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : All the warez from Stockade come completely from donations. ║ ║ Stockade is Stockade IV right now, which means it's the 4th time ║ ║ it's started over from scratch. In old warez, if you offer, you ║ ║ can get mostly any game your heart desires. So I just called out ║ ║ for donations, and then gave those people who donated some leech ║ ║ benefits, and so on. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you feel the old warez scene is overlooked and taken for ║ ║ granted? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : Overlooked? Yes. It's overlooked by a mass populous of the ║ ║ "w4r3z-k1dd13s", which is good. #Oldwarez isn't a place for ║ ║ newbies who don't understand DOS or UNIX. It's meant for people ║ ║ who know what they're doing (for the most part anyways). I think ║ ║ it's advantageous that it's overlooked in that respect. We ║ ║ already have all the good people in it. I'm not sure how the old ║ ║ warez scene can be taken for granted though, every scene is. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Stockade has been down 3 times prior. What problems can account ║ ║ for these 3 shutdowns? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : I got shut down because of my stupidity. I used the ISP's ║ ║ "ghosted" FTP server as an uploads site. Once I found out that ║ ║ they found the warez, it was instant rm -R. Stockade II went down ║ ║ because of more paranoia. No biggy. Stockade III went down ║ ║ because I was stupid yet again. Since my ISP is pretty much ║ ║ abandoned, and no one but me really IRCs from it, I decided to ║ ║ make the source code world-writable so I could access it from all ║ ║ my accounts. BIG BOOBOO! One of the ISP dorks, who used to be ║ ║ the cosysop of a big warez board in 305 ironically, felt that he ║ ║ did not like the fact that I was using up the ISP's resources. So ║ ║ he planted a small backdoor into the code so that whenever I ║ ║ updated the .NFO/WWW/.DCC data files, it would email the root, "I ║ ║ am the hacker." The root didn't like that. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Way before you started Stockade, and even before fATE, you were ║ ║ involved in a warez operation called "The Gate." What was that? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : "The Gate" or "Under the Gate" was my experiment in bourne shell ║ ║ coding on CyberGate. I stumbled upon a group of piraters on ║ ║ gate.net which had pooled their quota's together so they could get ║ ║ warez from each other. So I then made "The Gate" a BBS-type ║ ║ atmosphere (complete with file areas, graffiti walls, etc.), and ║ ║ got a few hacked accounts together to create what you could say ║ ║ was a 0-day BBS which offered 200 megs of 0-day warez, all run ║ ║ from CyberGate. Unfortunately, one of the system administrators ║ ║ noticed that there were lots of users accessing a certain ║ ║ directory (even with all my encryption ploys) and managed to bust ║ ║ all the hacked accounts along with a few legitimate ones. ║ ║ Ironically, I talked to that system administrator a month ago and ║ ║ he suggested that I restart CyberGate. Unfortunatley I'm moving ║ ║ to Sweden soon. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Many people had to log onto BBSes to retrieve old warez, was the ║ ║ Stockade created as an alternative to this hassle? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : Stockade was created as a "BBS over IRC" type deal. Many BBSes do ║ ║ not offer old warez anymore. Stockade is an intelligent tool that ║ ║ helps to distribute and increase the variety of old warez in ║ ║ #Oldwarez. I got rather bored of the same old warez being offered ║ ║ day in and day out. I think Stockade has been rather successful. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why is Stockade consisted of only games? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : I used to run a new utils bot as well called [Spatula], but I ║ ║ found it was a lot easier to find new utils than old games. It's ║ ║ like looking for today's newspaper, as opposed to trying to find ║ ║ the New York times from April, 1947. I didn't want to offer old ║ ║ utils, because they're useless. I find it more of a joke than ║ ║ anything else. I deleted [Spatula] eventually because I wanted to ║ ║ have the hard disk space to further expand the library of games ║ ║ found on Stockade. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I've noticed the offer bot's online handle changes ever so ║ ║ frequently. Why is this done? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : The handle changes quite frequently due to the evils of word of ║ ║ mouth. While I do like the fact that many people are using ║ ║ Stockade, I don't want many of the WRONG people using Stockade. ║ ║ This prevents people from channels other than #Oldwarez from using ║ ║ Stockade, and so mean old nasty NARC's don't find it... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Stockade run off a custom sript or is it based on other ║ ║ offering scripts? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : The "HEART" of Stockade is StockServ v2.1, which is my own 100% ║ ║ original design, coded in 100% bourne shell (bourne shell is 100% ║ ║ compatible on EVERY ISP) which automatically creates the DCC ║ ║ datafile, NFO file, and the optional WWW. StockServ interacts ║ ║ with IRC via a frontend, which is your standard every day IRC ║ ║ script tweaked to support StockServ. It comes in two flavors ║ ║ right now, VeNoM and Atlantis, and eventually there will be Fluff ║ ║ Phoenix and mIRC (via a DOS version of StockServ due out soon). ║ ║ The brilliant part of StockServ is that there's NO compiling ║ ║ required (for those hard-assed administrators who don't allow it), ║ ║ and that you can actually IRC your bot as if it were a normal IRC ║ ║ script. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : All files on Stockade are free, correct? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : Stockade is 100% free with no minimum transfer speeds. I would ║ ║ never operate any differently. The only restriction is the number ║ ║ of slots, which is 3 for non-donators, and unlimited for donators. ║ ║ #Oldwarez is about free unrestricted old warez. Therefore, so is ║ ║ Stockade. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Stockade was once available via the WWW. What happened to this ║ ║ option? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : StockServ does automatically program the WWW interface, but the ║ ║ reason why Stockade no longer has a WWW site is that there are no ║ ║ longer any fast anonymous FTP's for me to use. So alas, it's only ║ ║ IRC this time. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Where can people go for more information on Stockade? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : To begin with, don't bother the people in #Oldwarez about it. ║ ║ They get annoyed about it and they won't crack either. You can ║ ║ message me, I'll probably be away though, if I like you, I might ║ ║ reply. But the best way to get on Stockade would be to get ║ ║ involved with #Oldwarez, just hang out with the crew. Lamers need ║ ║ not bother. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Where should people send their donations? ║ ║ ║ ║ DRJ : Just DCC them over to me. If they're old, and not too insanely ║ ║ huge, I'll add it to the Stockade. By the way, a Stockade CD is ║ ║ in the works. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Krypto Interviewee : Desys ║ ║ Subject : Motiv8 Affiliation : Motiv8 Council ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your current position in Motiv8? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : I am Motiv8 Council. I basically watch over the group, find fast ║ ║ couriers, and fast FTP sites, etc. I also protect the channel. I ║ ║ make sure the group doesn't die like the rumors say it's going to ║ ║ happen. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How was M8 founded? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well, I am not fimilar with all the history. I know that MASON ║ ║ founded it. He's still with us. It had some people that left and ║ ║ quit. Igor was a council member along with Davan when I merged ║ ║ tNt with M8 but they quit within a week. So I had to take the ║ ║ place of Davan/Igor by watching the group and Davan's job ║ ║ "couriering". I do a little couriering to some of our FTP sites. ║ ║ I also do what Igor was supposed to do which was to watch the ║ ║ group make sure it never dies, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : In recent news, Davan and Igor left M8. How can you account for ║ ║ him leaving? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well I think they both left for perfectly good reasons. Davan ║ ║ didn't almost kill the group the night he left. Igor almost did ║ ║ though because obviously he did most of the work for months, which ║ ║ shouldn't happen in a group. It's very hard running a 1 man group ║ ║ and some couriers. Igor always loved M8 but MASON just wasn't ║ ║ showing up so Igor quit for MALiCE and Davan quit for Amnesia, ║ ║ both of which are top groups and I don't blame them. I just ║ ║ wished they'd give it another week. Oh well, but like I said, ║ ║ Igor left for a reason and I agree with his actions. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How has Igor's absence effected M8? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well Igor had a FTP site that he was co-site operator on. One of ║ ║ the best in the world. We lost it when he went to MALiCE. He ║ ║ made sure everyone was cool and just hearing the fact that Igor ║ ║ left made couple top people quit for other groups. Oh well, I've ║ ║ got the group doing a lot better. I got FTP sites and couriers. ║ ║ Unlike other groups I have a real easy time finding FTP sites. I ║ ║ find us 2 a week usually, we currently got quite a few. That's ║ ║ what's keeping us alive, our FTP sites and site operators. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : For what reasons do you feel Davan left M8? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Davan quit for the same reason. Davan was just a courier in most ║ ║ people's opinions. He did good, but he made the couriering part ║ ║ for us great along with Igor. Davan was offered to go to Amnesia ║ ║ and they are mostly winning everywhere along with RiSC, DGT, ║ ║ MALiCE, RTS, or whatever you think. When he left, it didn't ║ ║ really hurt us but his couriering hurt us. When Igor quit, THAT ║ ║ almost killed us. Most of the members knew that Igor ran the ║ ║ group for the most part. He merged M8 with tNt so M8 wouldn't die ║ ║ after he left. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Approximately how many people have left M8 since the tNt merger? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : About 5 people have left, but these people were like Davan, Igor, ║ ║ Caserd, and a couple others. That is ok, I thought it'd be a lot ║ ║ more but I've replaced them all besides Igor, cause you can't ║ ║ replace him. He basically kept the group alive then. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Could you explain to us why there was a merger between M8 and tNt ║ ║ to begin with? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well tnt noticed M8 offered quite a few FTP sites which tNt was ║ ║ losing on through the summer. I wanted a lot more top couriers, ║ ║ also we had 2 or 3 GREAT couriers. Now we have a lot of people ║ ║ that are capable and I am accepting people who can courier like a ║ ║ gig if that much is released each week. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What effect has the merger brought about? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well, we're twice as powerful with M8 and we are doing better with ║ ║ all these FTP sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : No regrets in merging with tNt? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : None. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : It's well known of M8's strength in FTP sites. Considering most ║ ║ FTP sites are college based, many of them will go down this ║ ║ summer. How do you feel this will effect M8? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Actually, I have managed to find us TONS of FTP sites that are up ║ ║ in the summer, which most groups can't do. Well that's a strength ║ ║ and I blocked the hole that made us lose all these FTP sites. ║ ║ Yes, we have lost a few but oh well... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Aside from the SMALL breakup in M8, what other problems has M8 ║ ║ faced in the past? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well, just these rumors and other couriering groups stealing our ║ ║ FTP sites and couriers. I have tried to get them back and that's ║ ║ about it. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Since the #Fatefiles days, #M8Leech was not rather successful. ║ ║ But in recent days, #M8Leech is now comparable to today's #Exceed ║ ║ (#Exceed was previously known as #Fatefiles). How do you account ║ ║ for this recent success? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well basically, I ignore #M8Leech for reasons most people do. FTP ║ ║ sites are fine with me. I'll let the IRC division run that which ║ ║ I usually don't touch. Another problem is that we have to find ║ ║ bots and people to get the channel back which is a big hassle. ║ ║ #Exceed is loaded with people you never want to meet, if you catch ║ ║ my drift. #M8Leech is turning just as bad. So I tell the IRC ║ ║ division to just have fun since I really don't care :) ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Which groups does M8 courier for? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : We recently lost SODOM.. BIG DEAL. We gained SiVA and we're still ║ ║ couriering for UCF. But all around we'll courier for anyone at a ║ ║ moment's notice. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are M8's current goals and plans for the future? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : We're trying to make a strong FTP trading team by getting LOADS of ║ ║ FTP sites with our couriers. I also want M8 to be one of top 5 ║ ║ courier groups in most people's opinion and to let me senior a ║ ║ little less and courier a little more. If I can work on ║ ║ organization and get more FTP sites, that'll make it all fun. ║ ║ Also, I just want us to HAVE FUN. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : In all honesty, should you have to rank M8 amongst the other ║ ║ courier groups, where would you place yourselves? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well, M8's about fifth or sixth. RiSC is #1, DGT and AMN is #2 ║ ║ and #3, RTS is #4, and we're about equal with Empire. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Which do you feel is stronger, your Internet division or BBS ║ ║ spreading division? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : That's the easy question. INTERNET!!! BBSes are getting too old ║ ║ and outdated. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What do you feel are M8's strengths? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : M8's best at FTP and IRC couriering. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What do you feel are M8's weaknesses? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Uhhh... we have to get more organized. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you in any way feel M8 hasn't been getting the respect it ║ ║ deserves or is underrated? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Yes, I don't think people should get greedy and steal FTP sites ║ ║ and couriers, but that's life. These little lamers in some group ║ ║ last week said they could beat the whole M8 team with their 2400 ║ ║ baud modems which.. NO NAMES... ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are some prospects you feel about the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ DES : Well the scene's summer is gonna be lagged a bit due to FTP sites ║ ║ down people, me getting a life, etc. Unless you want kill your ║ ║ summer, the scene's summer will be slow. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Sailor Moon ║ ║ Subject : Moon Prism..

We all work in the ║ ║ same modeling studio and so we decided to rent an apartment ║ ║ between the five of us. The studio sent us a computer along with ║ ║ some Internet software to work with, I don't know why they sent us ║ ║ one, we're models, we don't really have a need for computers. All ║ ║ we have to do is look good in front of the camera. Anyways, ║ ║ Sailor Venus started messing around on IRC and we stumbled upon ║ ║ warez. Sailor Venus' boytoy (men are just toys meant for ║ ║ beautiful women to abuse) is a district manager of Egghead. So ║ ║ Sailor Venus started teaching him about the Internet, and soon, ║ ║ got us all hooked on it. We realized that Sailor Venus' boytoy ║ ║ could help us supply with some new warez, we decided to help out ║ ║ the scene, and thus, we formed Sailor Moon. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why did you name your group after yourself? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : I didn't. We're all big fans of the Japanese Animation "Sailor ║ ║ Moon : Pretty Soldier" (the North American version translated by ║ ║ DIC is horrible compared to the original Japanese series). ║ ║ Anyways, we realized that we wanted to name our group after ║ ║ something we liked, and I came up with the idea to start the ║ ║ group, so I named myself Sailor Moon, and gave my 4 roommates ║ ║ handles as well. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I've been seeing a lot of warez released lately by your group, ║ ║ Sailor Moon, some of them were useless PUD files (aka WarCraft II ║ ║ Expansion Set : Beyond the Dark Portal), and the rest were ║ ║ basically kids software. ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : We really don't care about that quality and quantity bullshit. ║ ║ When Sailor Venus' boyfriend gets us a release, we attach the ║ ║ diz/nfo and we send it via our T1. We don't have time to worry ║ ║ about any other bullshit. If you were living with us, you'd ║ ║ understand what being a model is like; we have hectic schedules ║ ║ everyday and we can only find time for releasing on weekends. You ║ ║ can look at us as a very relaxed group, we don't even have a ║ ║ public IRC channel. We all live together, if we want something ║ ║ done, I just talk to my friends. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You only have one supplier I assume? Do you feel that is enough ║ ║ to sustain your group? What is the handle of your supplier? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : We haven't given him a handle yet, and we aren't planning to. You ║ ║ see, Sailor Moon is a girls group only. We're not looking for any ║ ║ more suppliers, and we're not looking for any more members. If we ║ ║ like someone and we think they can help the group, I'll just ║ ║ approach them face to face. Our modeling studio is my recruiting ║ ║ ground. If you're not a model, don't even bother applying. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How old are the members of Sailor Moon? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : I'm 23, Sailor Mercury is 22, Sailor Venus is 21, Sailor Mars is ║ ║ 23, and Sailor Jupiter is 22. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Since you didn't mention Sailor Venus' boyfriend as a member, I ║ ║ assume he isn't one? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : You're correct, we don't consider him a member, he's just a friend ║ ║ of ours. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How have you spread your warez in the past? You have not accepted ║ ║ any courier applications I assume, or any applications at all? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : We have covert contacts with couriers from RiSC, Amnesia, and ║ ║ fATE. We just dcc it to them and they take care of the spreading ║ ║ for us. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Sailor Moon planning on having official couriers? ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : That bullshit? Yeah.. sure.. we don't even have time to mess with ║ ║ an IRC channel and you think we'll want to have official couriers? ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Argh.. sorry for asking. ║ ║ ║ ║ SMO : It's ok. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ I talked to her on the phone later that day, but could not convince ║ ║ her to tell me which magazines she's been in, or to send me one of her ║ ║ photo shoots in gif or jpg format.

It didnt' ║ ║ surprise me much that it died within a week. It lacked ║ ║ leadership, talent, and enthusiasm, along with many other things ║ ║ found in a good courier group. However, right after dCS died, I ║ ║ saw that you immediately became the President of another new ║ ║ courier group, Empire. Empire has not only outlived the one week ║ ║ group stage, but it's survived for months now and is showing its ║ ║ presence in the scene. How'd you do it Marbz? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : dCS was more of a learning experience for me and for most of my ║ ║ members, from that experience I met some good traders and got more ║ ║ insight on how to run shit. Then I decided to do it right this ║ ║ second time with Empire and now here I am. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So one day, you were running dCS, and then you said to yourself, ║ ║ "I'm not doing this right", and the very next day, you came up ║ ║ with.. Empire? That's how your groups evolved? It must have been ║ ║ more than a one day thing. ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : Haha.. no it took me a few weeks to realize dCS was going ║ ║ downhill. I just thought some things over and tried to work some ║ ║ shit out. But when it came down to it, I really didnt have the ║ ║ members nor the leadership I needed to keep it together. So I ║ ║ talked to some of the guys I thought were doing a good job and who ║ ║ knew what they were doing, and we decided to form Empire. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So not everyone from dCS made it to Empire, you had to do some ║ ║ "CUTTING" hey? You felt that dCS was going downhill and that you ║ ║ didn't have the leadership? So you LACKED leadership qualities ║ ║ while you were the President of dCS, how then, did you suddenly ║ ║ develop your skills, or did you start Empire with a friend, and he ║ ║ provided the needed leadership, and thus, deserves the real credit ║ ║ for making Empire what it is today, a very strong upcoming courier ║ ║ group. ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : Not everyone from dCS made it to Empire. In fact only a few did. ║ ║ The mistake I made with dCS was that I was too easy in letting ║ ║ members in. I didn't check up on them. I didn't even put them on ║ ║ trial. The other major thing that didn't happen was my seniors. ║ ║ They were just plain lazy and never helped out. So I just started ║ ║ talking to some other leaders and shit and picked up pointers here ║ ║ and there. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Yes, I can tell you've improved a lot just by looking at your ║ ║ Empire NFO, I can see some very big names. Our readers, some of ║ ║ who will some day run their own groups, would like to know, how ║ ║ you recruited such big names. For example, how'd you recruit ║ ║ "Arch Magi", who runs a 13 node ISDN board (ex-Razor 1911 Courier ║ ║ HQ, ex-Legacy World HQ). Also, how'd you recruit "Mike and Dave" ║ ║ one of the BEST long distance bluebox couriers from Holland? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : Well, mainly just by being in the scene and meeting new people. ║ ║ That's all you can really do in order to start getting familiar ║ ║ with the scene and how it works. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How would you rate Empire compared to the big groups such as RiSC, ║ ║ Amnesia, Digital, and fATE? A lot of people are starting to ║ ║ consider Empire one of the top courier groups? How has Empire ║ ║ been successful in the scene compared to the other groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : I don't feel that Empire is ready to compete to its full ║ ║ potential. RiSC has been in the scene for some time and their ║ ║ leaders know what they are doing and have the experience. Empire ║ ║ isn't mature enought YET. They've been around the block and they ║ ║ know what they are doing. I don't really know a lot about Amnesia ║ ║ but they look to me like they know what the fuck they are doing. ║ ║ In this point in time I don't feel that Empire has the experience ║ ║ to compete against them but in the long run, we'll make it up to ║ ║ their status. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Well, at least you're being honest, but you forgot to mention ║ ║ about fATE and Digital? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : I'd rather not please. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How many private FTP sites do Empire members have access to? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : We currently have 4 private FTP sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Many courier groups have sites which are run through connections ║ ║ through their college. And thus, many courier groups take a big ║ ║ hit when summer time rolls along and all the college linked sites ║ ║ go down, will summer time have a big effect for Empire? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : Yes, Empire will be losing 2 sites because of it and those 2 sites ║ ║ are run by some of our best members. Yes, it will definitely ║ ║ effect us. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is Empire official couriers for any release groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : We have had oppurtunites to become official for some very large ║ ║ groups but have not taken up on the offer. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Which groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : I cannot say. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why did you not take up their offers? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : Well, for one thing they weren't very organised. They could ║ ║ release, but I could tell that they were not as active as they ║ ║ were a few years back. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Since Empire is not officials for anyone, do you find it hard to ║ ║ find stuff to tag? Do you guys tag at all, double tag, or strip ║ ║ tag? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : We will NEVER double or strip tag because theres no point in doing ║ ║ that. But yes, we do tag if we find a new warez that's not been ║ ║ tagged. Since most of our traders are in other release groups we ║ ║ can get a release the minute it's released. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you courier warez that's been tagged by Empire? or do you guys ║ ║ still courier anything and everything regardless of who tagged it? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAR : Yes, we trade all warez. If they are tagged we don't tag them. ║ ║ We just kindly pass the warez along. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : The Wicked One ║ ║ Subject : MindCrash??? Uh... Affiliation : DMT President ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : A few months ago, you were once the president of top-notch courier ║ ║ group known as MC (MindCrash). However, it died mysteriously and ║ ║ many are not aware of your new ventures. But before we get to ║ ║ your new group, let's go through how MC died? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : MC got to be so big and out of hand that trouble was erupting ║ ║ everywhere. I had to leave the scene for a period due to having ║ ║ to get other things straightened out. When I left, I put Avoozl ║ ║ in charge (Avoozl had left the group before due to outside ║ ║ problems). Many people thought my vice-president, Blitzkrieg ║ ║ should have been put in charge, and the only reason I did not ║ ║ leave him in charge was that I could talk to Avoozl voice every ║ ║ day and in that way, still semi-run the group. People started ║ ║ saying that maybe Blitzkrieg should start his own group, which he ║ ║ did, called IMP (Impulse). ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did you know beforehand that Blitzkrieg was planning to start his ║ ║ own courier group? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : Yes. Knowing beforehand what was going to happen, Avoozl and I ║ ║ decided to just abandon the MC name altogether and start fresh ║ ║ with something new. Blitzkrieg's group quickly merged into DGT ║ ║ (Digital). We took the main ideal of quality and offered MC's ║ ║ best couriers a spot in the new group. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is the name of your new group? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : We call ourselves DMT (DarkMoon Traders). ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How many members are there in DMT? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : DMT is currently consisted of about 20 members. Of the 20 ║ ║ members, 7 are site operators. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When your new group started up, did you invite all your old MC ║ ║ members, or only some? If you invited only some, did you invite ║ ║ Blitzkrieg and Devast into DMT? Blitzkrieg and Devast are ║ ║ currently DGT leaders, who were both ex-MC. ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : I only invited the top members of MC. Only 3 of the people who ║ ║ were invited did not come with me. I did not invite Blitzkrieg ║ ║ because he was heavy into making his new group. Devast was kicked ║ ║ out of MC a long time ago and he has never forgotten it, so I did ║ ║ not think it would be a good idea to make him a part of DMT. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Who were the 3 people who rejected your proposal? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : The 3 people who rejected my proposal were, Swamper who is now in ║ ║ Digital, Tutt who is now in.. I have no clue, and Chrome who is ║ ║ now in Motiv8. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You mentioned to me earlier that your group works underground, why ║ ║ have you kept DMT's presence underground? Will it not make it ║ ║ harder for good couriers and site operators to apply for the ║ ║ group? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : Yes, it is very hard to get in touch with DMT. If they're good ║ ║ enough, they'll find us. The reason we decided to keep it ║ ║ underground is that it keeps our members hidden from federal ║ ║ agents. It gives an added element of security. Besides, we ║ ║ aren't into egos and we're all past that bullshit. We don't need ║ ║ people to TELL us we're good, we KNOW we're good. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So you guys don't even have an NFO? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : Our NFO file only has an email address where you can reach us, and ║ ║ a little information about the group at the bottom. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Since DMT is so underground, how would someone apply? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : To get in touch with DMT, just email changj@webe.hooked.net. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : If you look at DMT in it's current status, do you think it's ║ ║ reached the level MC reached during its peak a few months back? ║ ║ Do you believe you'll be able to repeat the magic twice? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : DMT lacks the numbers of MC, but the quality of the couriers is ║ ║ much better overall. There is no question as to what everyone's ║ ║ purpose is in the group, and with time DMT will easily become ║ ║ better than MC ever was. I don't know if I can repeat magic, but ║ ║ I'm still the same person, I just work a little more efficiently, ║ ║ and have more top-notch couriers to work with. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Even though DMT is underground, have you guys attempted to recruit ║ ║ official release groups to courier for? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : We attempted to recruit Fierce at one time, but Fierce chose DGT. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Have you encountered any problems with old MC members while ║ ║ starting DMT? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : There have hardly been any problems at all. It's been an easy ║ ║ transition, our members are so dedicated I must give all credit to ║ ║ them. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : There are groups such as Everlast that have gone underground and ║ ║ many consider that they're at least as good as RiSC if not better, ║ ║ which only goes to show that an underground group is by far NOT ║ ║ handicapped because it is underground. Do you feel that DMT will ║ ║ be considered in competition in the same manner as Everlast is to ║ ║ the rest of the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ TWO : Everlast is made up of guys who stick together and are a team much ║ ║ like DMT. They let the work they do speak for themselves, as do ║ ║ we. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Imperial ║ ║ Subject : PTA Beeeaaaach!!!

Why did you decide to create PTA? ║ ║ ║ ║ IMP : I started by joining DiC (Domination In Couriering). I became a ║ ║ small BBS Courier for them. Then Blackened (President of DiC) ║ ║ killed DiC and joined fATE, I was left with no group to courier ║ ║ for. I then heard that one of the vice-presidents of DiC was in ║ ║ the process of creating a new courier group called FCC (First ║ ║ Class Couriering).

One day, the President of FCC told ║ ║ me that he no longer had the time to run the group, so I took over ║ ║ the group, and within a week, I changed its name to PTA since SMC ║ ║ was already in use. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : There are already tons of couriering groups out there, what makes ║ ║ PTA different?

How many members are there in PTA? ║ ║ ║ ║ IMP : We have approximately 35 members. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How many Private FTP sites are run by PTA? ║ ║ ║ ║ IMP : We currently have access to 2 private FTP sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Many courier groups enter a slump during the summer because ║ ║ they're site operators who have to leave their college during the ║ ║ summer break, will that have an effect on any of PTA's sites? ║ ║ ║ ║ IMP : It may have an effect on 1 site, but we will most likely have a ║ ║ new one soon so we will always have the same ammount of stable ║ ║ sites until school is back, then we will have all 3 together once ║ ║ more. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You are a very new leader since you have not had anyone to learn ║ ║ leadership skills from. You were in a group called DiC which died ║ ║ in a matter of weeks, do you feel that PTA might turn out to be a ║ ║ group with no potential as the weeks roll by? What are your ║ ║ future plans for PTA? ║ ║ ║ ║ IMP : I've always been a good leader. I run a really successfull art ║ ║ group that does work for 613/819 area. We are the dominating ║ ║ artists of that area. I feel that we have a lot of potential. I ║ ║ try not to make any bad mistakes, and I haven't made any bad ║ ║ mistakes so far. I think before I act, and I'm a nice guy. I ║ ║ don't get pissed off at people for nothing. I am friends with a ║ ║ lot of presidents around the scene. My plans for PTA is to become ║ ║ feared by other courier groups. I want PTA to become widely ║ ║ known. I want newbies to look up to PTA like how many look up to ║ ║ RiSC and fATE. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Great, so your main goal in the scene is to become well known, do ║ ║ you feel that as your group does gain it's deserved respect, that ║ ║ your group trust might fall apart since members might be striving ║ ║ toward selfishness and ego trips? ║ ║ ║ ║ IMP : I don't think many other courier groups respect us yet. The trust ║ ║ won't fall apart because were all friends. Anyone that's gets off ║ ║ on an ego trip will be approached, and given a little reality ║ ║ check (no pun intended). If they don't realize what they're ║ ║ doing, then the other seniors and I talk it over with them. I ║ ║ work with each and every member personally, some presidents I know ║ ║ don't even know half his members. I want total control over my ║ ║ group. I want to keep it on track. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Is there a central message that you'd like to inform the scene ║ ║ concerning PTA? ║ ║ ║ ║ IMP : I'd like to say that PTA is not a group of '3L1T3 Pricks'. I'd ║ ║ also like to thank Locutous. He's been one of the best members ║ ║ I've ever worked with. He's helped the group a lot and is greatly ║ ║ appreciated. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Super Hacker Interviewee : Incarnate ║ ║ Subject : RCN/Road Rebel Affiliation : Ex-ROR Senior ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your opinion of RCN as an E-Zine group? ║ ║ ║ ║ INC : Well, I think it has done well in the past.

Affiliation : n/a ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Who are you and how long have you being in the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : I was the President of AOF (Arsenists on Fire). I was also a ║ ║ member of DMN (Demolition), ROR (Release on Rampage), and MTY ║ ║ (Mortality). I've been in the scene for about 2 years now but I ║ ║ was kicked in November of 1995. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I see you were the President of a group that actually lasted ║ ║ longer than 2 months, a group that actually released a few worth ║ ║ while games and utils. Why did you leave AOF? ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : I didn't actually want to leave AOF, I was "forced" to resign. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why were you forced to resign and by whom? ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : Well, I was forced to leave because Tha Stuff, Demon, and ║ ║ Skyscraper said that I was an immature President and that I can't ║ ║ run a group. AOF was a releasing group, we released a few ║ ║ releases and a release that DOD duped. We had a lot of really ║ ║ talented suppliers, a few from Borland and Microsoft. Skyscraper ║ ║ said that I could stay and supply for them, but I thought about ║ ║ it, from being a President to being a supplier, it was not a good ║ ║ deal. A month after my forced resignation, I saw that it had ║ ║ merged into COPS, BLAH! ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is your current opinion on COPS? There are serveral members ║ ║ stating that "COPS is lame and they have to get their shit ║ ║ together." ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : I think that COPS can be "okay" if they put their shit together, ║ ║ like you said, and I don't think that they are very organized, ║ ║ especially not if they release shit like BLAKE STONE, a program ║ ║ from 1993 with an engine similar to Wolfenstine 3D. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When you were forced to resign as President of AOF, did you just ║ ║ leave? After all, you were the President, you should have at ║ ║ least had some power in the way things got done. Was there a lack ║ ║ of leadership from your part, or were there power struggles ║ ║ between seniors and members, or was there just a lot of the same ║ ║ old ego bullshit? ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : Well, I didn't feel like having a fight with Tha Stuff, I thought ║ ║ he deserved a little bit more power, so I made him vice-president, ║ ║ I think he got a little carried away with "power". ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you regret leaving AOF? ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : I don't regret leaving AOF, I think that I learned a lot from ║ ║ leaving. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What groups are you currently affiliated with? ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : I am not affiliated as of yet. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : "As of yet"? I see that you are getting back into the scene soon ║ ║ then? What are your future plans? ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : I think I might try to join a highly respected releasing group, or ║ ║ maybe getting a FTP site and then joining PWA or DOD. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Are you comfortable coming back into the scene? Do you feel that ║ ║ Tha Stuff, Demon, or Skyscraper might bug you or harass you in any ║ ║ way? ║ ║ ║ ║ UNI : Hehehe, I ain't scared SHIT of Tha Stuff, Demon, Skyscraper, or ║ ║ anyone else. Just one little extra comment, Revolution-X should ║ ║ merge into COPS, that way, both groups can be lame together. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Tuxedo Mask ║ ║ Subject : MALiCE Downfall ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The following is a logfile of the happenings in channel #Malice shortly ║ ║ after the group suffered it's greatest lost this year : ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Session Start : Thu May 23 15:54:03 1996 ║ ║ ║ ║ <Trite> Why did Winterhawk kick me??? ║ ║ ║ ║ <doodoo2> Winterhawk, LeoDLion, High Lander, and Cyberian Tiger quit ║ ║ MAliCE. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Trite> What??? ║ ║ ║ ║ <DigiVamp> I guess its a plus they left the group, now I am getting ║ ║ credits on on LA and BBX. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Trite> You lamers... ║ ║ ║ ║ <DigiVamp> I am dissing Bluewater on this upload!

Included in every issue of ║ ║ RCN is a Warez-IQ test, and on this particular test, there included a ║ ║ question as follows : ║ ║ ║ ║ ≡5≡ Drapper runs a FTP site from this well known college/university : ║ ║ ║ ║ [ ] A. University of California Berkeley ║ ║ [ ] B. Diablo Valley College ║ ║ [ ] C. Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges ║ ║ [√] D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology ║ ║ ║ ║ The correct answer to the above question is "D". Drapper informed ║ ║ RCN at 1:30 am of the next day that his FTP site called "The Temple" ║ ║ was *BUSTED* by MIT personnel as a result of RCN's quiz question. In ║ ║ theory, if what Drapper said was true, then it is safe to say that ║ ║ within a timespan of 4 hours, the MIT personnel downloaded RCN issue ║ ║ #14, read the Warez-IQ Questions, and in shock, got a warrant to *BUST* ║ ║ Drapper's FTP site. It is also safe to assume that if Drapper's story ║ ║ was true, then the MIT personnel considers the information found in RCN ║ ║ to be quite accurate, and accurate enough that they would bust someone ║ ║ without consulting other possible references. Not only that, the MIT ║ ║ personnel would have to had bust Drapper sometime between 9pm and 1:30am ║ ║ on a Sunday night. ║ ║ ║ ║ In reality, none of what Drapper said occurred. He was not busted, ║ ║ and if his FTP site, "The Temple", was not operative during the week, ║ ║ it's only because he took it down of his onw accord in a pathetic ║ ║ attempt of winning people's sympathy. Fortunately, people are smart ║ ║ enough not to believe in his recently concocted story. ║ ║ ║ ║ The following is a log file where Drapper is seen in channel #RCN ║ ║ threatening to libel against RCN's reputation : ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Session Start : Mon May 20 01:30:55 1996 ║ ║ ║ ║ <Drapper> I am going to post everywhere that the RCN editors, Hitex and ║ ║ Rebel Chicken, are narcs. And I am sure that people are more ║ ║ inclined to trust a FTP site operator that has just been ║ ║ busted rather than two lame RCN editors. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Chrome> Drapper, from what I've heard, you had other FTP site bust ║ ║ problems even before RCN released issue #14. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Drapper> The fact that I had deleted both Hitex and Rebel Chicken from ║ ║ my FTP site must have pissed them off and driven them to narc ║ ║ on me. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Hitex> Drapper, let's just say this much, if you do start posting those ║ ║ messages, then you're just going to end up looking stupid. Some ║ ║ people are gullible, but most are not insane enough to believe ║ ║ your story. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Drapper, so MIT went over to your dorm at 12am in the ║ ║ morning because they read RCN? If you just got busted, what ║ ║ are you doing here chatting with me? Wouldn't they arrest ║ ║ you or something? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Drapper> Road Rebel, everyone will learn that the RCN editors are ║ ║ narcs. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RoadRebel> Hahhaha.. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Drapper> That's all I have to say. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Coolness! I guess MIT respects the Warez-IQ section of RCN ║ ║ so much that they consider it evidence to bust their ║ ║ students who run pirate FTP sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Hitex> Drapper, I don't even care about getting on FTP sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I'm glad MIT security is so fast at getting RCN, it must ║ ║ have spread really fast then, hey? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RoadRebel> I wonder how the MIT guys did at the quiz? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Yes, there must be a MIT "read warez magazine to get ║ ║ information" security officer awake 24 hours a day on alert ║ ║ for information they could use to bust their students. Wow, ║ ║ an RCN quiz is as good as evidence or a warrant. Maybe I ║ ║ should write an article saying OJ Simpson is guilty. You ║ ║ think they'll put him on trial again? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Hitex> They can't, double jeopardy prevents being tried for the crime ║ ║ twice. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RoadRebel> Hahaha... ║ ║ ║ ║ <Hitex> Not only that, there are 3 other sites on MIT, why would they ║ ║ look after you first? They would have to be quite witty at ║ ║ that. ║ ║ ║ ║ *** Drapper (uknown@MILLY.MIT.EDU) has left #RCN ║ ║ ║ ║ <Chrome> Drapper, if your FTP site went down, it's because you were a ║ ║ sloppy FTP site operator, not because of the Warez-IQ question ║ ║ found in RCN issue #14. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Hitex> Drapper, you also told me once a few months back that you got ║ ║ busted when you just didn't want me on your FTP site. Your FTP ║ ║ site was quite up, but let's assume that you were telling the ║ ║ truth, and that it WAS busted a few months prior, you've ║ ║ obviously fucked up before. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RATM> Guys, Drapper left. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Hitex> Drapper, not to mention that if they did catch you again today, ║ ║ that it would be a second offense, which means that you'll most ║ ║ likely be expelled from MIT. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Hitex> Oh :-) ║ ║ ║ ║ Session Close : Mon May 20 01:40:47 1996 ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Let's assume for a minute that Drapper did get busted in such a ║ ║ short period of time. According to Hitex, this would have been his ║ ║ SECOND offence, and as a result, he would unequivocably be expelled ║ ║ from MIT. Since Drapper is not a U.S. citizen and is only living in ║ ║ the U.S. through a student visa, it would not be far fetched to assume ║ ║ that he has most likely also been deported out of the U.S. and back to ║ ║ Greece, where he went to high school before attending MIT as a freshman. ║ ║ ║ ║ Since he won't be living in the U.S. anymore, if you do happen to ║ ║ bump into him on IRC, he will no longer be running a FTP site, and ║ ║ his email address would no longer look anything like this : ║ ║ ║ ║ *** Drapper (uknown@MILLY.MIT.EDU) has left #USA ║ ║ ║ ║ bust instead, it should read something like this : ║ ║ ║ ║ *** Drapper (ex-MIT@greece.GR) has joined #Greece ║ ║ ║ ║ Let's all take a minute to give Drapper a farewell goodbye. RCN ║ ║ apologizes for causing the bust of his FTP site "The Temple". Hope you ║ ║ like it in Greece buddy!!! See ya!!! ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Defender Zeta ║ ║ Subject : Pirate Boot Camp ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ This article is for all the newbie traders out there who would like ║ ║ to jump to the next level in the scene but don't know what to do once ║ ║ they get into a group. Thise article was written to help beginners ║ ║ learn some of the tricks that more experienced couriers know. Most ║ ║ traders learn this stuff from trial and error <mostly error> or with the ║ ║ help of an older trader who acts as a tutor. I have to take the time ║ ║ now to thank Ratz Blood and Ratphour for teaching me the ins and outs of ║ ║ the scene. I would still be a #Fatefiles whore if it were not for them. ║ ║ Let's begin :) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ BBS (Bulletin Board Service) ║ ║ ║ ║ Way back when the scene was not on the Internet, couriers were the ║ ║ people who couriered warez from a HQ BBS to the distro sites. Some ║ ║ phreaked the long distance, others carded the long distance. I don't ║ ║ encourage carding since it is not only dangerous, but it could easily ║ ║ get a newbie busted. Phreaking is no longer used. The best strategy ║ ║ for a courier who wishes to mark his or her place in the scene would be ║ ║ to get a local distro site for some courier group to sponsor you into ║ ║ the group. Have the system operator bitch out a senior until he gives ║ ║ you a chance. Get access to the leech sites and start and downloading ║ ║ and and uploading. It's pretty simple. ║ ║ ║ ║ BBS couriers on big BBSes where the competition is stiff usually get ║ ║ a big hard drive quota on their shell account. Don't PPP download, FTP ║ ║ site operators hate it, plus there's always the problem of having the ║ ║ FTP site going down for a few minutes right before your transfer is ║ ║ finished. A quota of about 80 - 130 megs will do you fine if you're ║ ║ expecting some competition on the BBS. When you download from your ║ ║ shell (using the 'sz' command at your prompt... 'sz *.zip') go and have ║ ║ a life. Keep keep track of when the download should be done. When you ║ ║ upload to a popular BBS you can expect that some of the files you ║ ║ leeched will already be on the BBS. The key to getting on the top ten ║ ║ is for you to upload a lot of crap. Upload anything any everything you ║ ║ can get your hands on. Most system operators don't even bother to look ║ ║ at whats being uploaded (I've uploaded a Crayola Coloring Book once, ║ ║ blah, nuff said). If your Internet provider is a bit expensive there is ║ ║ a second trick to getting files. Just get a plain account at your ISP ║ ║ and PPP telnet to another server using a hacked account with a huge ║ ║ quota (Netcom seems to be the most popular) and fill up that shell. ║ ║ Then PPP leech it at your convience. The transfer rates are a bit ║ ║ slower, but it's a lot cheaper. I don't encourage this, but it works. ║ ║ ║ ║ BBS couriers usually have one advantage that FTP couriers don't ║ ║ have. They get a ratio. After about 6 months of uploading, you should ║ ║ have about 5 gigs of credit. With that, you can just sit back and leech ║ ║ for eternity. BBS couriering is a low stress and high profile job ║ ║ (depending on the BBS) that allows you to leech some fast stuff. This ║ ║ is a good place for many couriers with a fast 33.6 modem and 200+ megs ║ ║ free on their HD to start at. If you can't figure out how to find a ║ ║ person to apply for a group, your best bet would be to talk to the ║ ║ system operator of the BBS you're planning to courier for, or you could ║ ║ sit on IRC and beg for invites into a channel. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ IRC (Internet Relay Chat) ║ ║ ║ ║ Go into #Exceed, #M8leech, #THCfiles, or any of a zillion offer ║ ║ channel where you see those Lame-DCC and 31337-DCC guys. Offering on ║ ║ IRC takes no talent and I do not even consider it real couriering. ║ ║ However, as IRC becomes more important to the scene and people flood ║ ║ onto IRC. It might well become the new battle ground for groups when t3 ║ ║ PPP connects become available in your own home 20 years from now. A lot ║ ║ of groups have their IRC couriers spreading the group name and their ║ ║ presence among other lesser groups. The better groups don't usually ║ ║ bother with offering since they focus on boards and sites. DCC offering ║ ║ is a snap. At your IRC prompt type '/xdcc offer' and hit enter. Then ║ ║ give the file names you wanna offer and then put in a description. When ║ ║ you want the channel to see your harvest of goodies type '/plist'. I ║ ║ recommend the Venom.IRC and Phoenix.IRC scripts for offering. Some ║ ║ people have been using the aDCC commands of LiCE script lately. Use ║ ║ whatever script looks nice to you. Set your minimum speed that you want ║ ║ to transfer at with '/xdcc minspeed'. This way you can avoid some PPP ║ ║ whore leeching from you for hours at slow rates. A minimum speed of 2 ║ ║ to 3 kbs should be enough to keep the PPP and slow shell people out. ║ ║ ║ ║ The only danger to IRC couriering is Chris Carter. He is Narq ║ ║ extraordinaire. He likes to hang out in #Exceed and the #WarezX ║ ║ channels. Don't be surprised if you ISP admin tells you that the FBI is ║ ║ after you or something. Chris Carter makes himself out to be a agent of ║ ║ some law organization, but in reality he is only a lamer who sits down ║ ║ at his computer and masturbates off of shareware. Tell your IRC ║ ║ administrator that the man who mailed them is not an agent, he has no ║ ║ jurisdiction, and that as a paying customer you would appreciate some ║ ║ privacy. Most administrators give you a slap on the wrist and don't ║ ║ care. One of my former administrators actually gave me a higher quota ║ ║ cause he knew I was a trader (you'd be suprised how many ISPs have a ║ ║ secret warez drive). Chris Carter has no power and he cannot do ║ ║ anything to you. To avoid him you can use cracked shell accounts and ║ ║ offer from those. I've been Chris Cartered about 7 times in my career ║ ║ and only one administrator freaked out. If your administrator is ║ ║ actually suprised that pirates are the ones with the big HD quota, it's ║ ║ probabally time to find a new ISP. IRC offering is an easy and simple ║ ║ way for small groups without FTP sites to move tagged files to the ║ ║ public. It's not hard, and thus, has little glory in it. ║ ║ ║ ║ I would like to thank Method Man who taught me everything about ║ ║ scripts I know. He's such a freak that he even runs his own client. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ FTP (File Transfer Protocol) ║ ║ ║ ║ If you enjoy instant satisfaction and like having something about 5 ║ ║ minutes before the rest of the scene, then FTP couriering is for you. ║ ║ FTP couriering is either easy or hard depending on the sites you have ║ ║ access to. If you put RiSC against fATE it would be a slaughter because ║ ║ RiSC has a better FTP team and has some of the best sites on the planet. ║ ║ I would suggest that a FTP courier gain access to at least 2 to 3 super ║ ║ fast FTP sites and maybe 2 to 4 slower FTP sites where you can dominate. ║ ║ The trick is to get on as many FTP sites as you can at first and then ║ ║ work on getting onto the quality FTP sites. For maximum output, you ║ ║ should have about 6 screens going at once and idling on the better ║ ║ sites. Type 'ls' every minute so you don't time out. Some FTP Couriers ║ ║ have scripts that do it automatically. FTP couriering on fast sites can ║ ║ be stressful after sitting at your terminal for about 5 hours and ║ ║ looking at FTP sites to see if anything has come in the last few ║ ║ minutes. A FTP courier must be on IRC and aware of group releases by ║ ║ paying attention to the sites all the time. You have a window of about ║ ║ 5 minutes or less before it hits the super fast FTP sites. It takes ║ ║ about 20 minutes for it hits the slower sites. After about 2 to 3 hours ║ ║ it's releasedd all over IRC and is offered in #exceed. Software pirates ║ ║ have one of the greatist non-profit orginizations on the planet. We can ║ ║ release something and it hits the whole world within 3 hours. ║ ║ ║ ║ FTP couriers usually use ncftp. Type 'ncftp' at your unix prompt. ║ ║ Type 'open -u -p xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxxx' the -u means that it is not an ║ ║ anonymous login and the -p means that there is a port (if there isn't ║ ║ one, don't type -p). ║ ║ ║ ║ Once you get onto a FTP site, you will see that the directories are ║ ║ listed according to date. If today was 11/06/95, I'd go to the 1106 ║ ║ dir. Inside that directory I would see a ton of warez. Each release is ║ ║ in its own directory that either looks like 'lotus.notes.for.crap.blah'. ║ ║ You will usually see the full title or at least enough so you could ║ ║ figgure out what it is. Some groups like fATE do lame junk like adding ║ ║ their groups name to the dir name 'fate-lamers.on.parade.full.cd.rip'. ║ ║ I don't encourage this since better FTP couriers frown on it as a form ║ ║ of lame bragging. Most don't care what groups you are in. They are ║ ║ only interested in the files. To get the files onto your shell you type ║ ║ 'mget *.zip'. To upload your new goodies type 'mput filename*' to put ║ ║ multiple files from your shell to the FTP site. ║ ║ ║ ║ Remeber to use ncftp, the mput and mget commands will not work if ║ ║ you type 'ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' in your shell. When lamers type 'what' ║ ║ in the shell they can see the site numbers when you 'ftp ║ ║ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' and they might try to hack you. When running ncftp, ║ ║ all they will see is that little 'ncftp' flag. FTP couriering is a ║ ║ quick way to get some warez and glory for your group. Board couriers ║ ║ are a dime a dozen, a few good FTP couriers can make or break a group. ║ ║ ║ ║ I would like to thank Ratz Blood and Weed who helped me when I was a ║ ║ little baby FTP courier. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Telnet ║ ║ ║ ║ There are a few telnet boards now adays, but this might change in ║ ║ the future. Only traders with experience and who are known usually get ║ ║ access to the good telnet boards. The basic tool for telnet couriering ║ ║ is Ztel. It allows you to upload using Zmodem. To compile ztel.c on ║ ║ linux and/or Sun/OS, type 'gcc -o ztel ztel.c'. If you have any ║ ║ problems just ask your ISP administrator (Ztel is is freeware). Once ║ ║ your Ztel is compiled type '/home/path/ztel xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxxx'. To ║ ║ upload, go through the normal upload procedure and wait for the Zmodem ║ ║ string. Type 'control-a' then let go, then tap 'u'. It will ask for ║ ║ file names or processes. Type '*.zip' or whatever you want to upload. ║ ║ Ztel will download automatically if you want to leech some SNES games ║ ║ from Euro boards. ║ ║ ║ ║ Here's where it gets a bit tricky. To use screen and ztel together ║ ║ (screen allows you to multitask in your shell) you must type this when ║ ║ you initialize your screen 'screen -e ^Tt'. ║ ║ ║ ║ I would like to thank Superior Force and Fortune for helping me ║ ║ learn how to use Ztel and screen together. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Instant Rage ║ ║ Subject : Napalm FUCKS Up.. ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Lately, it seems that Napalm is dominating the games scene, with ║ ║ their pure abundance of releases, not to mention the speed at which they ║ ║ release them. There is one problem though, and we see it almost every ║ ║ time there is a Napalm release. Napalm can't release a single thing ║ ║ without some kind of problem with the game. ║ ║ ║ ║ We all know about Napalm's little problem, and we have all ║ ║ complained about it at one time or another, but this article is not to ║ ║ complain about Napalm, it's to congratulate them. ║ ║ ║ ║ Napalm has gotten so good at fixing problems, it seems that there is ║ ║ a seperate 'fix' for every game they release. Napalm is such an ║ ║ EXTREMELY FAST releasing group, they almost always miss a problem with ║ ║ the game the first time round. I criticized them for this before, and ║ ║ now they have perfected the art of releasing. In other words, they ║ ║ still release the game fast, and THEN they fix it, once everyone has it. ║ ║ It's a great strategy, and because of it, you see Napalm outrunning ║ ║ vetran groups such as Razor 1911 and Hybrid through sheer SPEED. ║ ║ ║ ║ What's more, it seems that lately, Napalm has gotten good at ║ ║ covering ass, big time. You see, in the not so long ago release of ║ ║ Lemmings Paintball, which was released by Hybrid, there was a CD check ║ ║ that for some reason Hybrid failed to find. The most surprising part ║ ║ though, was that Napalm almost instantly released a fix for Hybrid's ║ ║ mess, just like they do for their own releases. If you ask me, Napalm ║ ║ is trying to prove themselves, and they are doing a VERY good job, don't ║ ║ you think? ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Kang ║ ║ Subject : Macintosh Takeover??? ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ On Wednesday, May 22, channel #Warez666 was taken over.

A technology as new as DVD is ║ ║ typically too expensive to be of interest to console manufacturers such ║ ║ as Nintendo and Sega, but all the major PC manufacturers are watching ║ ║ DVD's approach with varying degrees of interest. ║ ║ ║ ║ Support for DVD from the dedicated game machine manufacturers, ║ ║ however, is not entirely enthusiastic, and is sure to change the warez ║ ║ scene in the future. Shortly after the DVD movie player hits the ║ ║ market, the first DVD-ROM drives will ship for the PC. Initially, these ║ ║ drives are expected to retail for somewhere between $400 and $600. With ║ ║ a storage capacity of 4.7 gigabytes (versus CD-ROMs which hold 0.65 ║ ║ gigabytes) and vastly increased data transfer rates, the DVD-ROM will ║ ║ offer developers the chance to produce titles with broadcast-quality ║ ║ video and surround-sound audio. In addition to the more immersive sound ║ ║ and video, the increased storage capacity will enable the developers to ║ ║ place more levels and/or more complex databases in their titles. As ║ ║ titles released onto the market use the DVD as a standard format, we ║ ║ will be sure to see meggage of the releases by warez groups increase in ║ ║ size. Instead of 30 disk releases, we might be in wait for 300 disk ║ ║ releases. However, we need not fear, as technology for storage ║ ║ capacities increase, so will the technology for fiber optic connections, ║ ║ thus increasing transfer speeds. ║ ║ ║ ║ Like CD-ROM and CD-dependent game machines, there will be no real ║ ║ difference in the physical make-up between the DVD-ROM drives available ║ ║ for the PCs, and DVD-ROM drives will eventually become part of dedicated ║ ║ game machines. When will DVD game machines appear? In general, it ║ ║ seems that the gaming manufacturers are content to wait on the sidelines ║ ║ for now and to let the folks on the PC side struggle with early ║ ║ compatibility and pricing issues. As DVD-ROM drives become available to ║ ║ a larger audience, we are sure to see DVD-ROM pirate libraries that ║ ║ would be able to hold close to a 500 to 800 games. ║ ║ ║ ║ Last, but not least, is the possibility of a DVD audio disc. The ║ ║ majority of current audio CDs, like many games on CD, do not use the ║ ║ entire space on their current media, and so the demand for DVD audio ║ ║ discs is almost nonexistent. The opportunity exists, however, to do ║ ║ more with audio DVD, especially if it is compatible with the recordable ║ ║ DVD-ROM drive. If those capabilities come to fruition, people will be ║ ║ able to record hours of digital audio onto a disc at their discretion. ║ ║ In that sense, the DVD audio and DVD-ROM would elevate the disc medium ║ ║ to a place that the CD never evolved to en masse : serving as mass ║ ║ storage medium. ║ ║ ║ ║ So far, the only DVD spec that has been released is one general and ║ ║ vague outline for both the DVD movie player and DVD-ROM drive. Although ║ ║ it is somewhat vague, the spec does revel the basic parameters and ║ ║ technologies of DVD. It's 4.7 gigabytes storage capacity is certainly a ║ ║ considerable improvement over the 0.65 of CD-ROMS, as is its 4.69 ║ ║ megabits-per-second average transfer rate (a single speed CD-ROM player ║ ║ reads datat at a rate of just 0.15 megabits-per-second). This ║ ║ improvement in performance, however, will require additional processing ║ ║ muscle in the host machine to handle all the data. Consumer DVD movie ║ ║ players will need to include MPEG2 and AC3 audio decoding solutions, and ║ ║ it is anticipated that nothing short of a Pentium 166 MHz will make full ║ ║ use of a DVD-ROM player for a PC. ║ ║ ║ ║ Perhaps DVD's main advantage will be in the fact that the option ║ ║ exists to make the discs recordable. Some companies have said that they ║ ║ are working to make their first DVD-ROM drives off the production line ║ ║ recordable. And erasable DVD-ROMs, if they aren't shipped initially, ║ ║ are expected to ship on an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) basis ║ ║ soon after. Another issue to be ironed out is whether or not the discs ║ ║ will be able to store data on just one side or both sides of the disc. ║ ║ In the original specs, the discs were planned to be two sided. However, ║ ║ the two-sided configuration was being considered only as "possible". ║ ║ ║ ║ Of course, the whole issue of price is perhaps the major hurdle ║ ║ still to be negotiated by those wishing to rush DVD to the market. And ║ ║ once it does hit the market, we can see that BBSes with the DVD ║ ║ technology will be able to offer a far greater library of downloads than ║ ║ the BBSes which do not yet have DVD. Whatever the price, DVD is ║ ║ guaranteed to change the face of the warez scene. Whatever the specs of ║ ║ the DVD, no one really knows whether it will be the warez scene killer, ║ ║ or a new device that will revolutionize the warez scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▀█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▄█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Instant Rage ║ ║ Subject : Console Warez ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ For many years, PC users have strived to run software on their ║ ║ computer that wasn't ever meant to be run; software from other ║ ║ platforms. You may have seen several of these "emulators", in which you ║ ║ can play your favorite Super NES game in a little window on your ║ ║ desktop. Because you are running something foreign on your computer, ║ ║ many things must be given up, such as sound effects, music, and your ║ ║ favorite joypad. Why do we want to play them then? Maybe we just miss ║ ║ a favorite game we had, or maybe we just want to prove that it can be ║ ║ done, but it seems kind of stupid when you think about it, doesn't it? ║ ║ ║ ║ Even though the emulators that run console warez is fairly new, the ║ ║ history of console warez is a long one. You see, a long time ago, if ║ ║ you wanted to run a copied Super NES, or Gameboy game, you needed an ║ ║ actual console to run them (hence the name), and a "cartridge drive" ║ ║ that accepted Super NES or Gameboy cartridges. At one point in time, ║ ║ this was such a popular thing, there were actually groups devoted to ║ ║ bringing in console warez, just as there are groups that bring in new PC ║ ║ software everyday. ║ ║ ║ ║ Even still, you have to wonder why they did all this. After all, we ║ ║ all have a PC, and there are great games released everyday that make ║ ║ some Super NES games blow mega farts. Now, with emulators that actually ║ ║ work, the fad to play them is even greater, and you can pick up a 'game ║ ║ pack' just about every month. ║ ║ ║ ║ For those of you who love to piss with emulators, here is some ║ ║ information to get you going. The only working Super NES emulator for ║ ║ PC is for Windows 95, and it was originally released in Japanese or some ║ ║ other funky language, but there are numerous versions that have been ║ ║ translated so that they are understandable. The version that works ║ ║ supports only the .SFC extension (Super FamiCom). Beware that there are ║ ║ very many other types of Super NES image files (for the console drives), ║ ║ and that if you come across one (SMC, SNS, etc.) you should find ║ ║ yourself a program called CTOOL that will convert the file to the one ║ ║ you need. If you ever encounter a Super NES game broken down like this ║ ║ 'kinstnct.1, kinstnct.2, etc.', CTOOL will also combine these files so ║ ║ that they will become one 'kinstnct.sfc'. ║ ║ ║ ║ There is a Gameboy emulator for both Windows 95 and DOS, both of ║ ║ which work quite well (much more stable then the Super NES emulator), ║ ║ and they both support the only extension I know of (.GB). So you should ║ ║ have no problem playing Wario Land in black and white.. or should you? ║ ║ You still won't get any sound, and chances are, your game will freeze in ║ ║ the middle, right when you are just getting into it. It doesn't seem ║ ║ worth it, but it doesn't stop you from trying. ║ ║ ║ ║ Let's all play Lameboy games on a $3000 computer!

║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the six 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. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Utils Reviewed : 04/25/96 -> 05/01/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : -- Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : -- Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ --───────────────────────--─ █▄ --─────--- Release Score : 0 ║ ║ ▄▄▄▄▄■██▄ ▄▄▄▄▄■██▄ ▄▄▄▄▄ ███ ▄▄▄▄▄■██▄ Running Total : 0 ║ ║ █░░░█ █░█ █░░░█ █░█ █░░░█ █░█ █░░░█ █░█ ║ ║ █▒░▒█ █▒█ █▒░▒█▀█▒█ █▒░▒█ ██ █▒█ █▒░▒█ █▒█ ║ ║ █▓▒▓█ █▓█ █▓▒▓█ █▓█ █▓▒▓█ ██ █▓█ █▓▒▓█ █▓█ ║ ║ █████▄██▀ █████ ███ ▀████▄██▄██▀ █████ ███ ║ ║ --──────────--- ███--──────────────--- ███ ║ ║ dawn'96 present ▀█ acii/tal0n ▀█ ║ ║ --─────────────────────────────────────--- ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODLWP01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-28-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ LAN WORKPLACE 5.1 DOS/WIN [01/15] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 3 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 28-apr-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTY-ATS1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-28-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ AutoSketch r2.1 for Windows 3.1/Win95 Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 4 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/05]\_____\_______>[04/28/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYDDR01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-29-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Digital Dressing Room Pre-Beta 1.00 [1/3] Previous Total : 4 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 6 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/03]\_____\_______>[04/29/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYFIRES.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 4-30-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ FIRESOFT Q&A: OFFICER!

Utils ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the six 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. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

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 six 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. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

If you have ever had a question about the ║ ║ scene or just a comment, here's the place! Have you ever wanted to know ║ ║ why some people do this or that? ASK! I would love to take it to the ║ ║ extreme for you and we will be happy to research it! I hope you have as ║ ║ much fun with this as I will! Remember, this is YOUR column! ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear Road Rebel, ║ ║ ║ ║ The BBS scene pimped on the Internet scene. It was so much more ║ ║ interesting to be in! I mean getting stuff around in 0-2 day was HARD! ║ ║ It took skilled couriers. I think the Internet ruined everything. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Koon Dog ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Koon Dog, ║ ║ ║ ║ I think you're very right, the BBS scene involved much more skill. ║ ║ People would spend countless hours logging onto boards around the world ║ ║ to get new releases so they could put everything around the world and ║ ║ get all the releases out. But why do you think the Internet ruined ║ ║ EVERYTHING? I think it raised the competition that much higher. Now ║ ║ people really have to try hard to get places before others do. When the ║ ║ Internet wasn't around, the competition was not to get stuff around ║ ║ faster than anybody else, but to get stuff around at all. Now, we have ║ ║ so many great couriers and they all try to push the same stuff to the ║ ║ same place, and people lose by mere seconds. I think that makes things ║ ║ that much harder. But of course, "it is not who does it first, it's who ║ ║ does it right," and it could quite easily be said that much of today's ║ ║ scene is filled with bad releases that don't work. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Road Rebel ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Dear Road Rebel, ║ ║ ║ ║ The Internet has fixed some things and fucked up other things. ║ ║ Couriers are having a ball now trying to do things before others. ║ ║ However, like you say, there are some new problems. Many boards are ║ ║ getting partial releases and that doesn't help anybody. It makes the ║ ║ courier look bad and then makes the group look stupid. Ultimately, it ║ ║ lowers the quality of the board. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Zero Prime ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Reader, ║ ║ ║ ║ I think you bring out an interesting point. The scene is currently ║ ║ in a transition regarding the Internet and the BBS scene. The Internet, ║ ║ I think, will end up prevailing, but while we're making this transition ║ ║ from BBS to Internet, the two are clashing. We're going from one ║ ║ resource that can push a meg per second, to a resource that pushes no ║ ║ more than 3k per second. That's a huge bottleneck, and one that will be ║ ║ resolved as soon as we start getting BBSs running on private T1's and ║ ║ Cable modems. Until then, the bottleneck will still slow us down. As ║ ║ soon as the transition is complete, the scene will breathe a fresher ║ ║ air. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Road Rebel ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Topic For Next Week : Week Old Group ║ ║ ║ ║ As always, we see about three new groups a week, and about three ║ ║ more die every week. However, none of these groups grow beyond 2 or 3 ║ ║ releases. Every once in a while, if we're lucky, the group ends up ║ ║ releasing on a regular basis. Sounds like a winner, right? Wrong. ║ ║ Most often, the group's releases don't work, are uncracked, or even ║ ║ incomplete. One would think, in theory, that new groups can't hurt ║ ║ anything. Sure, there could be too many of them, and they take up time, ║ ║ but if they release, they're helping the scene. However, this is hardly ║ ║ the case. ║ ║ ║ ║ The situation has become so bad that now, when one finds a release ║ ║ that he wants, he must check twice to see what group released it. ║ ║ Often, if the group is not a megafigure such as DOD or PWA, Razor or ║ ║ Dynamix, he won't even download it, for fear of wasting an hour of his ║ ║ time just to find that what he downloaded doesn't even work. So, what's ║ ║ the alternative for the hopefuls to get big in the scene? What do you ║ ║ think these small groups are doing to the scene as a whole?

This user ║ ║ uses the nickname "Ordinance," and uses the account "x@x.x.x.". He/she ║ ║ is a member of an underground group called "RTS."

On the IRC network, ║ ║ groups of people come together to use sophisticated methods to ║ ║ distribute commercial software to literally thousands of users. With ║ ║ such large scale distribution methods, the software industry is losing ║ ║ millions of dollars. ║ ║ ║ ║ I have no direct evidence to show you that this user is ║ ║ participating in illegal activities. But I can direct you to where ║ ║ evidence can be found. If you are permitted to do so, I suggest that ║ ║ you take a brief scan of the user's home-directory and check for any ║ ║ suspicious files. If you cannot do this, I recommend that you keep a ║ ║ close eye on this user and watch for any unusual activities.

His means of monitoring are clearly illegal in the United ║ ║ States. He is known to use hacked accounts, send false mail, hide his ║ ║ address, monitor channels in "IRC" through stealth modes - his presence ║ ║ not visible to users of the channels. He is also making great ║ ║ accusations with no evidence causing undue harassment and libel. Undue ║ ║ conflict between user and administrator and possibly resulting in the ║ ║ loss of accounts, if not involvement by state/local/federal authorities. ║ ║ Chris Carter's tactics seem to be strategic and premeditative in nature, ║ ║ a direct attack on the reputation of whomever he chooses to harass. ║ ║ ║ ║ It is encouraged that the unethical and unlawful behavior of Chris ║ ║ Carter be stopped, to protect privacy, freedom of speech, reputations of ║ ║ the innocent and prevent him from abusing any other computer systems ║ ║ through subversive and/or illegal "hacking" methods. ║ ║ ║ ║ Chris Carter certainly gets around. Upon mention of his name, many ║ ║ people have spoken out in outrage at his actions and methods. This ║ ║ e-mail is a collective result of concerned citizens in both the United ║ ║ States and abroad. To my knowledge, there are seven other instances of ║ ║ such accusations sent via e-mail with no support. ║ ║ ║ ║ Upon contact, a system administrator from the first provider has ║ ║ stated that they have checked the files of the user in question, ║ ║ permissible by a written legal form signed by the account purchaser, and ║ ║ have not found a single thing of illegal nature. Why is this violation ║ ║ of privacy necessary due to the likes of Mr. Carter, who does not seem ║ ║ to respect the rights of innocent people? One must wonder whether ║ ║ Carter's basis for these accusing messages has anything to do with the ║ ║ reason of "software piracy" as Carter states. If so, his observations ║ ║ are error-prone. ║ ║ ║ ║ The second provider involved has not commented. ║ ║ ║ ║ Thank you for your time and, hopefully, support. Chris Carter is a ║ ║ criminal by any standards and must be dealt with by legal means before ║ ║ spreading more harm among the Internet community. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ░▄▄▄ ▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄ █▄▄ █▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ █▀▌ ░▄ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ █▄█▄▐░▀ ▀█▄▄ ░░ ░░ ██ ░░ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀░▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░▐▐█▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ░░ ░▐▐█▌█▐▌░░ ▐▐█▌░ ██▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐▌▌ █▀░ ▄░▀▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ █▌▐██ ▌▄ ▀█▄ ▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▐████▌▌ ▀▀■▀▐█░ ▀░ ▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▀▀█▄ w a r e i q t e s t ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Test your knowledge of the WAREZ SCENE!

People call me... ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The other day, I was sitting in the can of a public restroom, and ║ ║ among the scribbles on the wall, I noticed something that meant ║ ║ something to me. Somebody had etched the words "PiL 96 !!" on the wall ║ ║ with a black marker while taking a shit. I sat there and thought, and ║ ║ thought.. then I wondered if these were actually the scribbles of a ║ ║ member of Pirates in Legion, the present but forgotten utils group. Or ║ ║ I suppose it could have been a VERY happy fan, but who knows. All that ║ ║ thinking encouraged me to stay on the can and think some more. ║ ║ ║ ║ All this thinking led me to think about the importance of group ║ ║ names. When thoughts come about a group like fATE, do you think of the ║ ║ meaning behind it? Somebody put a lot of thought into that name (maybe ║ ║ they were on the can like me), and it brings importance to the group. ║ ║ The word fATE alone can make you think about alot of things, but the ║ ║ underlying meaning is still "Fast Action Trade Exchange". ║ ║ ║ ║ Other names that we know of, such as PWA, or even COPS, makes one ║ ║ laugh when we think of the meaning. I know I'm not the only one who ║ ║ thinks Pirates with Attitudes is just a little cheezzzy, let alone ║ ║ Couriers of Pirated Software. But we look and we laugh, after all, we ║ ║ can't let the scene get too serious now, can we? ║ ║ ║ ║ A few more minutes of shitting led me to think about the importance ║ ║ of handles. There are some funny names of groups out there, and I ║ ║ realzied that could extend outside the spectrum of mere group names. ║ ║ Many handles of the people in the scene are equally ridiculous. ║ ║ ║ ║ For example, if you can recall the handle of Fan Fan La Tulipe, the ║ ║ late President of TDU-JAM!, or our very own RCN editor, Rebel Chicken. ║ ║ Both these names are extremely ridiculous, but none the less, it's not ║ ║ the name that really matters, it's what's backed by it. You could call ║ ║ yourself ABC or 123 if you really wanted to, and it wouldn't make a ║ ║ difference, it's not your handle that's important, the important matter ║ ║ is the substance that backs it up. And the same can be said for groups, ║ ║ you could start a group called RWN, Raisins with Nuts, but if that group ║ ║ releases consistent quality or couriers in a fashion revolutionizing to ║ ║ the scene, then that group will receive the recognition and respect it ║ ║ deserves regardless of its cheezzzy name. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ■▄▄█ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▄▄█▀░█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ■▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ██▌ ▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀█▀▌r c n ▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▄█▄█ ▐█▌▌ ███ ▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ▐▐▌ ██▌ ░▀ ▐█▌▌ ███ ▐█▌▌░░▐██ ░ ░▐▐▌▌░▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░░ ░ ██▌░░ ░▐▌█ ░░░ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▐██ ░ ░▐▐▌▌░░ ▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄██ ▐█▌ ▄█▀ ▀ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▐▌▌ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀▄█▀ ▀ ▐▐█ ▐▄█▄▐▌▌ ▐▄▄▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▐▀█▌ ▀░ ▀ ▀░ ▀ ▐▌▌ ▄█▄▌ ▀░ ▀▀█▄ ▄██▄▌▀ ▀ ▀░ m a d r c n ! ▀▀█▄ ▄██▄█ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Rebel Chicken ║ ║ Subject : 5 Minutes ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The bell rings. I am faster than the bell, I had packed my bag 20 ║ ║ seconds prior. As I was walking toward my next class, I couldn't help ║ ║ but notice that to my left was Emily, I think of her as this really ║ ║ stupid blonde girl, and Hitex thinks of her as "pimple face". ║ ║ ║ ║ Oh God, please tell me Emily doesn't see me, I don't feel like ║ ║ talking to anyone right now, especially not her. May be I can just ║ ║ mingle to the right of the hallway and hide behind some freshman. The ║ ║ day is not going well. The stupid blonde girl greets me and starts ║ ║ small talk. I am extremely agitated and I wish that she'd just leave me ║ ║ alone. I can see that she starts her conversations the same way every ║ ║ single time, no matter who she's talking to. In fact, everyone from my ║ ║ high school talks the same. Everyone says the same thing, the same way, ║ ║ and by far, I am as guilty of that as anyone else. I can read their ║ ║ minds and I perceive that what they say and what they feel are as ║ ║ different as night and day. I show interest in what she says. I smile. ║ ║ I nod my head. I smile again, and I wish to myself that she would shut ║ ║ up. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now I'm really in trouble, our conversation has superseded the ║ ║ usual "How are you doing" and the "I'm doing great" bullshit, and she's ║ ║ going out of her routine small talk. She asks me a question. Even ║ ║ though I have no idea what her question is, I try my best to reply. I ║ ║ give her the no fuss answer, "Wow, that's cool." ║ ║ ║ ║ I see her lips move up and down again, but I have no idea what the ║ ║ hell she's saying. She pauses and smiles. I see her smile and so I ║ ║ smile back, and I assume that it is time for me to reply, so I say to ║ ║ her, "Wow, that is REALLY REALLY cool." ║ ║ ║ ║ Suddenly, I grow very confused. I start asking myself questions I ║ ║ have never even thought of before. I know that these questions I am ║ ║ asking myself have always been part of me, but it is only now that I am ║ ║ allowing them to surface. I ponder. ║ ║ ║ ║ Why can't she just be herself? I know she is not very fond of me. ║ ║ Why is she acting like she's my friend. I don't even know her that ║ ║ well; the only reason link I have to her is that I sit next to her in my ║ ║ English IV class, I hardly doubt that's a basis for friendship. Is she ║ ║ acting nice because it's othe cool thing to do?" And, why can't she ║ ║ stop talking, she is becoming very annoying. She asks me another ║ ║ question, this time, I don't know what to do. To think that I used to ║ ║ want to go out with her, yuck.. what the hell was I thinking? ║ ║ ║ ║ A part of me speaks, the part of me that stems from archaic roots ║ ║ takes over. I will have to sacrifice dearly, but today, I will let my ║ ║ dark side take over. In a matter of 20 seconds, I will destroy the ║ ║ "nice guy" image I had worked so hard building up these last 4 years. I ║ ║ was good at deceiving people, I got them all to think that I was a "nice ║ ║ guy". Not this time though, I don't really care anymore. I choose to ║ ║ come out of the closet, so to speak, I'm going to just be myself. I say ║ ║ to her in my own tone, without smiling, "What the fuck is wrong with ║ ║ you? Can't you tell that I have absolutely no fucking interest in what ║ ║ you're saying to me?" I said it really loud, and nearly everyone in the ║ ║ hallway stops to look at me. I feel very embarrassed, but I don't care, ║ ║ I am having fun. ║ ║ ║ ║ Unfortunately, one of the people who hears me yell at the stupid ║ ║ blonde girl, was the Principal. The Principal rushes to me and puts his ║ ║ hand on my back. He asks me why I was acting so agitated, and asks me ║ ║ whether or not I needed to go to the nurse's office. The Principal must ║ ║ think I'm mentally unstable. Well, I'm NOT crazy, I'm just elite. I ║ ║ tell him that I am not crazy, and that I was merely acting natural, I ║ ║ couldn't take it anymore. The bitch was too annoying, I only did that ║ ║ which was necessary to prevent mental collapse. I haven't been myself ║ ║ for nearly 4 years now. I don't want to fall into that trap again, like ║ ║ before, I didn't want to end my conversation without showing her who I ║ ║ really was. I don't regret any of what I did. ║ ║ ║ ║ The Principal slaps on my back a pink sheet. On that pink sheet, I ║ ║ read, "Two hours detention." I shrug and I start walking back toward my ║ ║ next class, I feel free, free again, free at last, and once again, I ║ ║ here a voice saying, "I don't regret any of what I did." ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ │ │ Hitex : Editor │ │ Rebel Chicken : Editor │ │ │ │ Xenon : ASM/MOD │ │ │ │ Celestian : ANSi │ │ RATM : VGA/WWW │ │ Marbz : NFOs │ │ │ │ Darkwing : IRC Offer Bot │ │ Undinism : IRC Offer Bot │ │ Velocity : IRC Offer Bot │ │ │ │ Joker : FTP Site │ │ │ │ Everclear : Top 10 : BBS │ │ Shatter : Top 10 : FTP │ │ │ │ Defender Zeta : Writer │ │ Frost : Writer │ │ Instant Rage : Writer │ │ Kahn : Writer │ │ Krypto : Writer │ │ Lucifers Fear : Writer │ │ Road Rebel : Writer/Internet Coordinator │ │ Super Hacker : Writer/Courier Coordinator │ │ Tuxedo Mask : Writer │ │ │ │ FTP Site : 167.206.212.37 │ │ Web Site : http://www.shu.edu/~importmi/rcn │ │ E-Mail : AN385786@ANON.PENET.FI │ │ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
