First of all, when you see an article that rips on someone or a ║ ║ group, and you don't like it. Take it up with the author!!! If it ║ ║ isn't written by Rebel Chicken, Hitex or I then don't nag us about it! ║ ║ Also, if you have a problem with something written about you or a group, ║ ║ WRITE A REBUTTLE! Don't sit there and bitch at us in the channel, it ║ ║ doesn't do shit. I came to #RCN today, and all I heard was bitching ║ ║ because someone said something mean about a group. WELL, if you are a ║ ║ group member and your group gets made fun of, take it on the chin, be a ║ ║ man. We have and will make fun of A LOT of people, most of it is just ║ ║ FUN and in MAD RCN, and people realize this and get over it. If you ║ ║ come in and bitch at us, it makes us want to rip you some more. Ok ║ ║ enough of this. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now, this is for the people that come in and say "SEND ME THE NEWEST ║ ║ RCN!" You don't have to beg!!!! Before you nag people for it try this. ║ ║ Look in the channel for someone named *dcc (anythingdcc). If they exist ║ ║ type this : "/MSG <nick> xdcc list" If they list that they have it type ║ ║ this : "/MSG <nick> xdcc send #<pack@>" ║ ║ ║ ║ OK!! NOW, if there isn't a DCC in the channel look at the topic. ║ ║ It will usually have an FTP or Web page adrress! If they aren't there, ║ ║ then ask. Please don't just come in and BEG. It is very unbecoming. ║ ║ ║ ║ Also, for people that want to write for RCN, you don't have to ask ║ ║ for an RCN app. Just write something and send it to me. If it is good ║ ║ we use it, if not, well.. we don't. However, our editors are very ║ ║ patient and they will try to unscramble any submission, regardless of ║ ║ your English skills. Also, we readily accept submissions written in ║ ║ French, Hebrew, Spanish, or Swedish. Don't worry, we'll get it ║ ║ translated! (Of course, we still prefer English!) If you can keep ║ ║ submitting to RCN you will become a member. But don't ask what the ║ ║ topic should be, if we had all the topics we could write the whole ║ ║ magazine, the topics are the hard part! ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ I am Rio & Ken, this is the first time I'm writing to RCN, so let me ║ ║ introduce myself. I'm a bbs trader that has been around in the scene ║ ║ for about 1.5 years now. Right now I'm in Razor 1911, Rapier, Mortality ║ ║ and that's all. Now that you know who I am, I can speak. ║ ║ ║ ║ I wrote this letter to talk about your magazine, I really think it ║ ║ sucks. The thing is, I'm not the only one. There are many reasons for ║ ║ that, and well, I'll start explaining. ║ ║ ║ ║ First, as I see it, your purpose in the scene (as a scene magazine) ║ ║ is to help the scene in many ways and to supply scene-news/gossip to ║ ║ scene-people weekly. Now, that's cool and stuff, and you know, it's ║ ║ thoughtful and caring and all. But because of your blind eyes, you ║ ║ don't see what you actually do. Your magazine's publicity is starting ║ ║ to be pretty huge, and the magazine is falling to a lot of men's ║ ║ computers - now it may seem really cool from your side (having great ║ ║ publicity), but I don't know if you are aware of the fact that all of ║ ║ this actually REALLY ruins the scene because of the publicty the ║ ║ magazine is getting to a lot of non-scene people, and even some ║ ║ anti-scene people. ║ ║ ║ ║ As you know the magazine contains A LOT of information about the ║ ║ scene, and some of it even secret shit that is illegal. I'm writing ║ ║ this to remind you that the scene is SUPPOSED to be UNDERGROUND. Some ║ ║ of the actions in it are illegal, and that's why publishing a magazine ║ ║ like yours, is dangerous - for you, for me, and for the whole scene. ║ ║ You know, the ONLY good thing I saw in your magazine was the revealing ║ ║ of this lame Chris Carter, but as I'm thinking, I'm concluding that your ║ ║ magazine is exactly like Chris Carter, you're a big source of ║ ║ information about the scene and about its illegal actions. The amazing ║ ║ thing is that you even mention a lot of handles/names/email-addreses and ║ ║ lots of more revealing stuff!! I just can't understand how blind all of ║ ║ you RCN-staff-people are and you just can't see how you ruin us all. I ║ ║ think it's already happend once with DRAPPER's site. All I'm suggesting ║ ║ is, if you want to continue running this lame-tragedy-magazine, sure, go ║ ║ ahead, who'll stop you, just try doing it in a lot more quiet way and ║ ║ don't reveal in your magazine so much, but just one thing, don't ever ║ ║ say you're helping the scene, as I said, you all are doing exactly the ║ ║ opposite! ║ ║ ║ ║ So after explaining why your magazine is lame I wanted to ask you, ║ ║ no no, to DEMAND from you that I not to see MY handle/name on your ║ ║ magazine EVER in ANY of the issues in the future, that includes the TOP ║ ║ 10 COURIERS (even if I should be there), and I do that for my own ║ ║ safety, because GOD knows what MORE you will publish about me except for ║ ║ the handle, and by the way, I sugggest that all people that care for ║ ║ themselves demand the same thing! Again, if I'll ever see my name, I ║ ║ will personally take it as my mission in the scene to take you all and ║ ║ your magazine DOWN the drain. ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyway dude, that's all, I put it all out of my heart, I hope you'll ║ ║ pay good attnetion to what I wrote and will have the brain to fix ║ ║ everything right. ║ ║ ║ ║ *PS* A few little hi's for some friends if I can : ║ ║ ║ ║ Schindler : Yo buddy, GENOCIDE RULED/RULE/WILL-RULE F-O-R-E-V-E-R! and ║ ║ you will get HILIT, I promise. ║ ║ ║ ║ Amorphis : hey big guy, someday you'll talk russian too! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Rio & Ken ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Rio & Ken, ║ ║ ║ ║ You are a victim of your own crime. I often tell people in the ║ ║ scene that they need to take responsibility for what they do. However, ║ ║ in your case, you need also take a closer look at your actions. You ║ ║ accuse me of being blind to my actions. I am rarely blind to my ║ ║ actions, but I will turn that accusation back on you. Until I made it ║ ║ to the end of your letter, I saw a respectable person that had mixed ║ ║ emotions about our magazine and had more than enough disagreements with ║ ║ our ways. I also saw you as a person that was slightly misinformed as ║ ║ to the ways of the FBI. I will, in my reply to you, attempt to clarify ║ ║ certain things about my magazine and how it could possibly effect ║ ║ you/others in the future. ║ ║ ║ ║ I write this letter to talk about your magazine, I really think it ║ ║ sucks. ║ ║ ║ ║ Generally I stop right here and laugh, but I respect you for ║ ║ providing me with the information of WHY you think it sucks. It is only ║ ║ through such explanation that we can get things done. ║ ║ ║ ║ and the thing is, I'm not the only one. there are many reasons for that, ║ ║ and well, I'll start explaining. ║ ║ ║ ║ Alright, stop right there. I respect you for your opinions and ║ ║ commend you on writing to us, but I will not accept your writing as a ║ ║ general statement about your friends and others that may agree with you. ║ ║ It is up to them to take the initiative and write in for themselves. ║ ║ You all know that RCN can post e-mail anonymously as we do on most ║ ║ occasions and if it is a safety issue within them, there's their ║ ║ response. ║ ║ ║ ║ may seem really cool from your side (having great publicity), but I ║ ║ don't ║ ║ ║ ║ We don't do it for the publicity. We are smart people and if we ║ ║ wanted publicity you would have heard of us in other places by now. ║ ║ ║ ║ etc...), now as you know the magzine contains a lot of information about ║ ║ the scene, and some of it (i just couldnt/cant understand how stupid you ║ ║ are to publish all this) even secret shit that is illegal. I'm writing ║ ║ this letter t REMIND you that the scene SUPPOSED to be UNDERGROUND, ║ ║ about 90% ║ ║ ║ ║ This is where my accusation to you of being blind applies. I'm ║ ║ sorry to break it to you, but the scene USED to be underground. Perhaps ║ ║ it is still supposed to be, but it isn't. The Internet has completely ║ ║ taken away any secretive aspect of the warez scene. Anybody can log on, ║ ║ and it doesn't take too much thinking to join #warez, and when that's ║ ║ invite only, try Warez1, Warez2, and sooner or later make your way up to ║ ║ a public channel. The scene is anything BUT underground. ║ ║ ║ ║ of the actions in it is illegal, and that's why publishing magazine like ║ ║ yours, is dangrous - for you, for me, for the whole scene. you know, the ║ ║ ONLY ║ ║ ║ ║ Again you are being blind. Perhaps it is denial? You may not know ║ ║ it, but big brother IS watching you. I'm sure 5% of most public warez ║ ║ channels is made up of FBI agents and NARKS. Did narks only come about ║ ║ once RCN started publishing? Hardly. Narks have been around ever since ║ ║ the scene began. Do they read RCN to get information about people? ║ ║ Perhaps you would like to think so, but that is a naive statement. ║ ║ ║ ║ Carter, but as I'm thinking, I'm conclusing that your magazine is ║ ║ exactly like Chris Carter, you're a big source of infomation ║ ║ ║ ║ Though I don't doubt that the FBI computer division assigns ║ ║ homework, and that reading RCN is definitely a part of it, I really ║ ║ doubt that an organization that big needs help from a few teenagers. ║ ║ Furthermore, if you're going to accuse RCN of providing publicity for ║ ║ the "secret" and "totally underground" hangout spots on the Internet, ║ ║ you will be accusing every group NFO file of doing the same. DOD, PWA, ║ ║ Razor, Prestige, they all publish their group channel in their warez. ║ ║ ║ ║ I think its already happend once with DRAPPER's site (I cant accuse ║ ║ you or any1 but you know you were involved and as I see it you have a ║ ║ good chance of being the cause to all of this). all I'm suggesting is, ║ ║ if you wanna ║ ║ ║ ║ I will not get into another argument about Drapper's site. I will ║ ║ only revamp the data in my defense and show you how absurd, and again, ║ ║ naive, you must be, to think that RCN had any involvement in the busting ║ ║ of Drapper's site, and furthermore, how Drapper really just used us as a ║ ║ scapegoat. Just to remind a few of us, Drapper accused RCN's publishing ║ ║ of the NAME of his site and the University that it was running under, to ║ ║ be the source of his bust. Drapper got busted 30 minutes after the ║ ║ publication of RCN, and at that time, it was 9:30 pm in his area. This ║ ║ means that the MIT staff would have gotten RCN immensely faster than ║ ║ even boards like Park Central or Malevolence, read it, found the ║ ║ Warez-IQ topic, gotten the question right, chased out of their hut, gone ║ ║ to the City Hall, gotten a search warrant, meaning they assumed RCN to ║ ║ be a REPUTABLE SOURCE, gotten in their cars, hopped back to Drapper's ║ ║ dorm, and cuffed him, mind you all this at 9:30 pm, and last I checked, ║ ║ City Hall doesn't stay open much past 6. ║ ║ ║ ║ a tragedy and a crime. I persoanlly would like to nuke you all for this ║ ║ bullshit u're doing. I'm in rapier, and I read the GODS-MEETING-LOG, and ║ ║ as a matter of fact I really didnt care what they said there, the thing ║ ║ ║ ║ Goes to show you how you should screen your members a little better, ║ ║ doesn't it? ║ ║ ║ ║ execept this, you have shits like UNupdated .nfo's (that reminds me, I ║ ║ found up one of your rcn-lamers looking for an updated rapier.nfo about ║ ║ 10 MINS BEFORE THE RELEASING OF RCN-19, can you belive it? 10 mins be4 ║ ║ releasing ║ ║ ║ ║ 10 minutes before release time. Well more like about an hour but ║ ║ whatever. Yeah, goes to show you how we try to make our NFOs as recent ║ ║ as possible. Such good Samaritans we are. ║ ║ ║ ║ nono, to DEMAND from you not to see MY handle/name on YOUR magazine EVER ║ ║ NEVER in ANY of the issues in the future, that includes the TOP 10 ║ ║ COURIERS (even if I should be there), and I do that for my own safety, ║ ║ ║ ║ Again you're being blind. Up top you published your name, now you ║ ║ tell us not to publish it? I think you're so confused that you don't ║ ║ even know if you like RCN or not. You want to get publicity, but you ║ ║ think it might get you busted. You REALLY need to take responsibility ║ ║ for yourself, sir! ║ ║ ║ ║ little hi's for some friends if I can : ║ ║ ║ ║ Wait wouldn't that be dangerous? Because we're narks, right? Gee ║ ║ how thoughtful of you, I mean if everything you say about RCN is true, ║ ║ you should run while you still can. Or do you want to take some of your ║ ║ friends down along with you? ║ ║ ║ ║ Rio & Ken, you really need to rethink your position in your letter ║ ║ to me. I think you're just scared and confused. The scene isn't what ║ ║ it was a few years ago, it's not nearly as underground as it used to be. ║ ║ Then, once you're done pondering that, think about this. Did people not ║ ║ get busted before RCN? Of course they did. So what's different? ║ ║ People have always gotten busted, and they did then just as much as they ║ ║ do now. The only difference is that now you have someone to tell you ║ ║ about it.

Well, let's not make this into another ║ ║ dumbass "great work" e-mail. I have a few things to comment on, but ║ ║ feel free to ignore me. ║ ║ ║ ║ This is my take on the current warez scene situation, from the point ║ ║ of view of someone who hasn't been involved with it for a few years. I'm ║ ║ what you guys would call an art scener. I used to be into the local 604 ║ ║ (my home AC) warez scene, 2-3 years ago, but I moved into the art scene ║ ║ about two years ago and never left :). Just to give you a little ║ ║ background on myself, I started out as a local art pack courier. ║ ║ Pathetic, eh? Somehow, that led me into drawing for a local art group ║ ║ (Mistigris), where I developed my ANSI skills. Since then, I've become ║ ║ a pretty good artist (if I can actually say that modestly :), proficient ║ ║ in a wide range of artistic media (ANSI, RIP, VGA, and a little ASCII) ║ ║ and have gone through a series of small-to-large groups (Mistigris, WBT, ║ ║ Integrity, Union, Flatline, mOp, iCE, and finally Fire, which I am now a ║ ║ senior staffer in). ║ ║ ║ ║ As I progressed into the art scene, I became less and less involved ║ ║ in the warez scene; of course, I picked up the odd Ware or two, but ║ ║ never to the extent that a lot of guys are doing now. I really lost ║ ║ contact with my warez roots. ║ ║ ║ ║ Within the last few weeks, I've gotten a little more involved in the ║ ║ warez scene again. It all started off when I was sitting peacefully on ║ ║ #Fire, talking to my buds; in cruises a courier, asking for someone to ║ ║ draw him a DIZ. I volunteered. Actually, I just graduated, so I was ║ ║ looking for some warez to occupy my free time; I grabbed the opportunity ║ ║ to get myself some :). You see, a lot of us art scene guys are ║ ║ warez-deprived. We don't see many warez anymore, unless we're totally ║ ║ into the warez scene. So I asked the courier if we could wrangle a ║ ║ trade for warez or something. He sent me to his leader, a guy called ║ ║ Druggy (whom I had never encountered before, but he seems to be somewhat ║ ║ of a fixture in the warez scene :), who had just started up a new ║ ║ courier group, The Cartel. ║ ║ ║ ║ Well, I talked to him, and he asked me to show him some of my ║ ║ artwork. In a sense, you guys are art-deprived :). I sent him over ║ ║ some of my old junk, and he loved it. Kept asking me to send him more, ║ ║ actually. That was pretty weird, since most of the art scene guys don't ║ ║ ask anymore; my work is pretty readily available in art packs released ║ ║ monthly, such as the ACiD Acquisition, the monthly iCEpack, and the Fire ║ ║ Combustion. Most packs release monthly, filled to the brim with artwork ║ ║ like mine. He asked me to fill out an app to his group and to draw some ║ ║ stuff for them. I saw this as a great opportunity to fill my harddrive ║ ║ up with crap, so I said "sure, what the hell." Within minutes I was ║ ║ opped on #Cartel, sitting there, chatting with warez guys I'd never met ║ ║ before, many of them questioning me about what kind of artwork I did. ║ ║ To make a long story short, I sent a bunch of them my old work, and they ║ ║ got to know me a bit through my artwork :). I drew up a nifty colour ║ ║ member list, and got access on a few warez sites. I'm a happy camper ║ ║ now; it doesn't take much to satisfy me, warez-wise :) ║ ║ ║ ║ Since then (this was about a week or two ago), I've gotten more ║ ║ involved with the warez scene. Druggy kindly sent me Issue #17 of RCN, ║ ║ telling me that I was insane never to have read it before. He seemed to ║ ║ think RCN was the best mag ever released :). I thought to myself "It's ║ ║ a warez mag. It can't be that great." Boy, was I wrong. Again, great ║ ║ effort guys. It rocks. RCN shines in comparison to most art scene ║ ║ emags. Three things shocked me the most about RCN. Here they are, in ║ ║ order : ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.) The fact that you guys release weekly. This seems physically ║ ║ impossible to me, an art scene lameass who never knew mags could ║ ║ release any faster than monthly. Art scene mags are all ║ ║ under-staffed, and release monthly if they're _lucky_. The fact ║ ║ that you guys manage to release weekly, and actualy ON TIME blew ║ ║ my mind. ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) The quantity of stuff you guys manage to collect on a regular ║ ║ basis for inclusion into RCN. It's scary that the warez scene ║ ║ is so active :). You guys manage to scrape up more articles, ║ ║ interviews and editorials weekly than most art mags came come up ║ ║ with in 2-3 months. Jesus! ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) The amount of following RCN has. Last week, just before the ║ ║ release of RCN #18, the guys on #Cartel were going nuts about ║ ║ how long RCN had been delayed. At the time, I had no idea you ║ ║ guys released WEEKLY. I thought to myself, based on my ║ ║ knowledge of art scene mags, "what, they must be a coupla days ║ ║ late, right?" WRONG. A bloody HOUR late, and everyone was ║ ║ ranting and raving about how late you guys were. Shut the hell ║ ║ up, you whining freaks :). You obviously haven't been in the ║ ║ art scene before. We have mags that release a MONTH late, and ║ ║ no one really complains, due to the utter LACK of cooperation ║ ║ from anyone. An HOUR late? You whiners should be ashamed of ║ ║ yourselves. I mean, it's already a major accomplishment, in my ║ ║ eyes, that you managed to release weekly at all. That's already ║ ║ a BIG plus for RCN. But whining because the mag was an HOUR ║ ║ late in coming out? Gimme a break. ║ ║ ║ ║ Since then I've been faithfully reading each issue of RCN I find, ║ ║ "cover-to-cover", so-to-speak. I'm constantly impressed by the amount ║ ║ of quality and humourous material you guys manage to scrape up; awesome ║ ║ job, guys. The coding is excellent, the intro and closing graphics are ║ ║ great, and the content just plain rocks. I myself run an art webzine, ║ ║ called "netherwOrld", (which is temporarily down, because I can't find a ║ ║ server to house it ;( ) but I strive to keep it updated as regularly as ║ ║ you guys keep RCN updated. Again, I'm REALLY impressed. The fact that ║ ║ your staff is so large and cooperative is a major plus, and that you ║ ║ have your own web domain (haven't looked at it yet, but I will today) is ║ ║ great too. You must have a huge distribution. The only thing I don't ║ ║ like (yes, I actually don't like something in RCN!) about the mag is ║ ║ your menuset. Sorry to say, but for a mag as good as RCN, they really ║ ║ bite! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Cereal ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▀▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░█▄▄ ░▐▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▀█▀█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ █▄█ ██▌ ▄▄░▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ █▐▌ ░▐▐█▌█ ░▐▐▌▐█▌▌ ░░ ░▐▐█▌░▐▄▄▄█▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐▐█▌ ▐█▌▌ █▌▐██ ▐█▄▌▀▀█▄ ▄░▀▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▀ █▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ███▐░███▌▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▀█▌▀▀▀██▀▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ Last week my admin got a letter from the legendary Chris Carter, now ║ ║ revealed to be Daniel Schlegel.

Affiliation : ex-Amnesia Senior ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : MGD (The Midnight Gravedigger), you were a senior of GODS (Guild ║ ║ of Distributors) and when GODS switched its name to Amnesia, you ║ ║ became an Amnesia senior, but you recently left Amnesia, why is ║ ║ that so? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : I left Amnesia because there are many problems there now, I mean ║ ║ like any one that wants to join they can join these days, Amnesia ║ ║ standards have been lowered since before we went to GODS and then ║ ║ pulled out. Davan is about to retire and Frost went to Damage. ║ ║ Prozac is gone, and Shafter is in Chicago for the summer, which ║ ║ doesn't leave Amnesia with much these days, they got a few ║ ║ newbies, who can't show respect to people that kept the group ║ ║ alive before they were even on the Internet. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : But what about the council members such as Lester and David & ║ ║ Goliath? Are they not respectable enough to be able to keep the ║ ║ group together? Or are they too no longer capable of running ║ ║ Amnesia as a decent group? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : Lester is not around much, and David & Goliath is trying to run ║ ║ Amnesia like its his utils group The Corporation. Many others ║ ║ (names willl not be revealed) and I have a great amount of respect ║ ║ for Lester, he is one of the most powerful people on the Internet, ║ ║ and he usuallly kept things in order when he was around, but he ║ ║ comes on like 15 minutes every other day now, and with a group ║ ║ like Amnesia that is certainly not enough. As for David & ║ ║ Goliath, no comment. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You mentioned that Frost left Amnesia for Damage? What's his new ║ ║ position in Damage? Did he leave Amnesia for the same reasons you ║ ║ too are leaving? What part did Frost play in Amnesia's success? ║ ║ In other words, is he THAT important? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : Frost is certainly in my mind a great rising star in the field of ║ ║ Internet couriering. He is getting better and better daily, he ║ ║ left Amnesia for Damage basically because there are fights every ║ ║ day in channel #Amnesia. He he was a KEY FACTOR in AMNESiA's ║ ║ sucess. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : History does repeat itself. Amnesia first split off of Malice in ║ ║ February because of fights, and now Damage is splitting away from ║ ║ Amnesia. Do you believe that my statement on how history repeats ║ ║ itself is true? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : Damage split when Digital split into GODS, and Rapier split out of ║ ║ Amnesia, which is correct. Amnesia did split out of MALICE ║ ║ because of fights. Fights are what the splits start off of, and ║ ║ when a figure in the group leaves, many others think of leaving ║ ║ too. Yes, your statement is true except for the part where Damage ║ ║ split from Amnesia, it split from Digital. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : After Malice's fall in February, it has never been the same group ║ ║ because it could not maintain its courier prowess. Do you believe ║ ║ that Amnesia has taken its fall as well, and is pretty much done ║ ║ for, unless something short of a miracle comes and saves the ║ ║ group? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : Well, I am not too sure about that one, you can look at Malice and ║ ║ see from #1 to practically dead, it has happened to many groups, ║ ║ and at this point almost nothing can save the group. About ║ ║ Amnesia, I really can't say because Amnesia still has some good ║ ║ Internet couriers and only time will tell. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You mentioned earlier that when figure heads leave a group, others ║ ║ lose faith and want to leave as well. Have any other Amnesia ║ ║ couriers left Amnesia as a result of your departure? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : Well on that I would call it as me and Frost left together, and ║ ║ because of this nuisance, Davan might be retiring, I have gotten ║ ║ messages from people still in AMNESiA telling me "you know another ║ ║ group that will take me, I would leave AMNESiA but as of now I ║ ║ don't have any where else to go." ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : We know that Frost left Amnesia to join Damage, but which courier ║ ║ group will you be joining? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : I really can't say yet, I have talked to Eagle 1 of RiSC (Rise in ║ ║ Superior Couriering) and he told me to talk to him when he gets ║ ║ back on Wednesday or Thursday after his upcoming buisness trip ║ ║ that he has already left for. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I recall in that in RCN issue #18, a log file was shown where you ║ ║ said that RiSC hates you? And that you would never be able to ║ ║ join that group? Is that not true? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : RiSC doesn't hate me, I had some actions in Amnesia towards RiSC ║ ║ but that was only because of pride in Amnesia which I have totally ║ ║ lost completely, as it is for RiSC sure I would join now, if I was ║ ║ given the chance. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What were these actions? Did you try to steal sites from RiSC? ║ ║ You said in RCN Issue #18, "I say we steal LA, Enigma, and Beyond ║ ║ Akira from RiSC." ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : That was just jibberish because I was still mad on how BBX of ║ ║ Amnesia was taken by RiSC, yet that is long forgotten. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Oh, okay, it's long forgotten. Two weeks is a long time. Anyway, ║ ║ what are your feelings toward Amnesia now that you are no longer a ║ ║ part of it? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : I could care less about Amnesia, they don't know how to respect ║ ║ people that kept the group alive when every one was inactive. I ║ ║ still have friends there that I care for, but much of the group is ║ ║ deteriorating. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How did they fail in giving you the respect you feel you deserve? ║ ║ I assume the lack of respect was directed at you, correct? ║ ║ ║ ║ MGD : Well a little while back before GODS, a little after that Amnesia ║ ║ vs. Digital courier competition, I was the ONLY Internet trader ║ ║ actually performing when the others were gone with their excuses, ║ ║ so I was keeping Amnesia alive, I also trained and formed that ║ ║ current Internet team they have with an exception of a few people, ║ ║ and in my point of view that certainly should get me some respect. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Ante Interviewee : Tym ║ ║ Subject : Blizzard on Piracy Affiliation : Blizzard Programmer ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What does Blizzard do to prevent software piracy? ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : Well, there are a few different things. The main thing is to ║ ║ eliminate as many reasons to pirate the software as possible. ║ ║ There's a lot of people out there who get pirated games because ║ ║ they don't want to spend money on something they know nothing ║ ║ about. Besides the usual shareware, we also provide spawning ║ ║ technology, that allows multiple people to play each other off one ║ ║ copy. A lot of people do that, get hooked on the game, and go out ║ ║ and buy it for themselves so they can play single player. We also ║ ║ have some fairly innovative protection schemes to stop at least ║ ║ the casual hackers. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Such as? ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : I have not seen a fully working crack, most of them are ║ ║ incomplete. They don't work multi-player, you can't load save ║ ║ games, certain scenarios aren't in, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Hybrid was first to release WarCraft 2. However, their version ║ ║ was not fully operational. It took them three days to get out a ║ ║ version with full network and scenario options. In this time, do ║ ║ you think they were getting rid of the "innovative protection ║ ║ schemes?" ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : Well, first off we need to clarify something here. We realize we ║ ║ are never going to release an uncrackable game. Our main goal is ║ ║ to stop the casual copiers. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I personal have not used the Hybrid crack, yet some people claim ║ ║ that it breaks up in Internet games or sometimes does not run at ║ ║ all. Could this be intent or merely coincidence? ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : It's our intent, I have yet to see a fully 100% crack of a cracked ║ ║ copy of the game. I've seen a 97.98%, maybe 99% functioning, ║ ║ however, there are so many places in the code that would have to ║ ║ be altered that it would probably only become with it to those ║ ║ people that feel they're on a mission from God to crack games. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Recently, id Software's Quake Beta 3 was released by ROR (Release ║ ║ on Rampage). They claim to have members who are part of id ║ ║ Software. This version of Quake had included nearly everything ║ ║ but id Software has yet to release it in stores. Does Blizzard ║ ║ have problems with such leeks? ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : Well, as I understand it, ROR claims they released the full ║ ║ version of Quake but it really only a beta-stage testing version ║ ║ of Quake. There are still a lot of bugs and there is no network ║ ║ play. When we were doing WarCraft 2, a pre-release (magazine ║ ║ only) alpha was leaked to the Internet, and was all over the place ║ ║ very quickly. Since then, we've serialized all our alphas and ║ ║ betas we have sent out and haven't had any similar problems. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : The beta release of WarCraft 2 was all over the Internet very ║ ║ quickly, and is nothing like the final version. What is ║ ║ Blizzard's feelings on the WarCraft 2 beta or unfinished products ║ ║ in general. ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : Well, the alpha release (a beta release is something released for ║ ║ actual testing, the alpha release was just to show off the game to ║ ║ some magazines) was very incomplete and didn't give a very good ║ ║ picture of the game at all. Our main problem with them is that ║ ║ people will get them, and get erroneous messages 50 to 90% of the ║ ║ time. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : If and when Diablo and StarCraft hits the pirate scene, is ║ ║ Blizzard going to do anything to prevent it? ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : We're never going to be able to completely prevent piracy. ║ ║ However we can stem the tide, and make it so it's actually easier ║ ║ to buy the game than it is to go threw all the hassle of pirating ║ ║ it. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : A new addition to Blizzard games "Battle.Net" will be implemented ║ ║ in upcoming releases such as Diablo and StarCraft. What is ║ ║ "Battle.Net" going to have to protect from piracy? ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : Not all of that has been finalized, and some of it can't be ║ ║ released to the public. But, it will be transparent to legitimate ║ ║ users. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : When is Diablo planned for release? ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : Diablo will be out some time this summer. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Thank you for your time and I hope to see more releases from ║ ║ Blizzard in the future. ║ ║ ║ ║ BLZ : You will. Thank you. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ There is a 100% fully cracked version of WarCraft 2 available for ║ ║ pirates.

The Amnesia part of GODS were good friends with ║ ║ each other and Digital were cool with Amnesia, so it was a natural ║ ║ merge. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So you're saying after Quazimodem left GODS, GODS renamed itself ║ ║ to Amnesia? When did Quazimodem leave GODS, and which courier ║ ║ group is he with now, if any? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : Exactlly, Quazimodem left and we decided that it would be wrong if ║ ║ we continued as a group under the name GODS. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : There were many people such as Erupt who left GODS because of ║ ║ Quazimodem, now that Quazimodem has left the group and GODS is now ║ ║ known as Amneisa, has Erupt rejoined Amnesia as a coordinator? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : Erupt left GODS but came back. Then Quazimodem left and the ║ ║ active people that were in GODS where invited to join Amnesia. ║ ║ Erupt is now back as a coordiantor with Devast, Dealer, Studster, ║ ║ and me. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Studster is now a coordinator in Amnesia? Last I checked, wasn't ║ ║ he a part of the High Council? Did Studster get demoted? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : Studster is a coordinator in Amnesia. To make it easy, we have ║ ║ the High Council and then the coordinators. Studster plays a big ║ ║ part in the success of the Amnesia team and he does it well. To ║ ║ answer your question, he didn't get demoted. Studster has the ║ ║ respect of Amnesia and he does extremely well. He could be a mere ║ ║ courier and would still have a say in how the group operates. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What about The Resistance, he was also at one point in time, part ║ ║ of the Amnesia High Council, but he is no longer warranted that ║ ║ postion, what happened to him? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : The Resistance basically quit. I haven't seen him on the Internet ║ ║ for quite some time and I think he decided not to be part of any ║ ║ courier team. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Hellraiser was also at one point in time part of the Amnesia High ║ ║ Council, but he is no longer part of Amnesia. Where has he ║ ║ wandered off to? I still see him on the Internet, so I know that ║ ║ he didn't quit as The Resistance might have. Has a large part of ║ ║ the ex-Amnesia High Council lost faith in Amnesia as these two ║ ║ seem to show? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : To my knowledge, Hellraiser is happy with just beeing in DOD ║ ║ (Drink or Die) helping with the cracking and ripping. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So he's happy not being in Amnesia? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : The thing is that when you have couriered as much as Hellraiser ║ ║ has, then you don't find it exciting anymore, and you seek out new ║ ║ challenges. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Hellraiser can't be too busy in DOD cracking and ripping, there's ║ ║ not much for him to crack and rip. ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : It's easy to forget that DOD released quality utils for almost 2 ║ ║ years. And 1995 was without a doubt, the year of DOD. Sure, DOD ║ ║ might not be doing as well as they used to but when it comes to ║ ║ quality, they are stil top 3 in the utils scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Perhaps so, but this is 1996. Anyway, in RCN issue #18, a log was ║ ║ shown where MGD (Midnight Grave Digger), now a senior courier of ║ ║ Amnesia, said that he was planning to steal sites from RiSC (Rise ║ ║ in Superior Couriering), specifically LA, Enigma, and Beyond ║ ║ Akira. Is he still planning to steal these sites from RiSC for ║ ║ Amnesia? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : You can't steal a site. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : MGD was planning on recruiting those sites for Amnesia, the ║ ║ siteops and sysops would then leave RiSC for Amnesia. Would you ║ ║ consider that stealing? Or perhaps you have a better word for ║ ║ what MGD is planning? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : MGD meant that we should outdo RiSC on those sites and make them ║ ║ choose Amnesia over RiSC. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So when MGD said, "I say we steal LA, Enigma, and Beyond Akira ║ ║ from RiSC," he meant to say, "Let's outdo RiSC on LA, Enigma, and ║ ║ Beyond Akira so they decide to leave RiSC for Amnesia," do you ║ ║ really believe that is what he meant? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : I have no doubt that is what MGD really meant. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you believe O.J. Simpson is guilty? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : Hell yeah. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : He didn't really mean to kill Nicole you know. He meant to win ║ ║ her heart over by making her choose him over Mr. Goldman. Anyway, ║ ║ do you believe that Amnesia is faster and better than either ║ ║ Everlast or RiSC? Or are you going to tell me that Amnesia is ║ ║ still a young courier group, and thus, only time can tell? ║ ║ ║ ║ AMN : Well, that depends on your definition of fast. In Europe, Amnesia ║ ║ is much faster than both Everlast and RiSC. Amnesia totally ║ ║ crushes the competition on some of the best boards in the United ║ ║ States, mainly Malevolence and Street Spyders. Both Everlast and ║ ║ RiSC are doing great overall. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : The Man ║ ║ Subject : Taking Over Lame ROR? Affiliation : Amnesia Member ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : There were some logs mentioning that *YOU*, took over channel #ROR ║ ║ and declared that ROR (Release on Rampage) was officially retired. ║ ║ You then said that ROR was dead because tKLP was being tKLP, why ║ ║ did you do that, or did that not even happen at all? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAN : I do admit that it was my idea to take over channel #ROR, I'm not ║ ║ going to mention who helped me though, they can come forward if ║ ║ they wish. I did not declare ROR being dead however, I personally ║ ║ don't have a problem with the group itself, except for their fake ║ ║ release of Quake, I wanted to take over channel #ROR because of ║ ║ the fact that on the previous night TKLP messed up Godsrock, the ║ ║ channel bot for GODS (Guild of Distributors), and that pissed a ║ ║ few people off. We just wanted to get him back for it by taking ║ ║ his channel over. So we came, we saw, and we prevailed. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How did tKLP mess up Godsrock? What did tKLP do? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAN : He got the user listing for it somehow and had all of our ║ ║ passwords. I am not entirly sure on how he did it, I wasn't on ║ ║ IRC at the time. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Even though tKLP had the capability to mess with Godsrock and ║ ║ GODS, in your opionion, why would he want to do such a lame thing? ║ ║ Did he have a previous vendetta with GODS or specific members of ║ ║ GODS? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAN : Well, tKLP has proven himself to be lame time and time again. I ║ ║ know that he and MGD don't get along at all, and that might have ║ ║ been his vendetta. At the time of this happening though, GODS was ║ ║ still new, so I don't imagine that it was against the group as a ║ ║ whole. But alot of people in GODS, now known as Amnesia, don't ║ ║ like tKLP at all (myself included). tKLP Stated in his interview ║ ║ in RCN issue #19 that he thought that *I* was Gahn, but Gahn had ║ ║ no part in this at all. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What I don't understand is that GODS justified taking over channel ║ ║ #ROR because tKLP had been messing with Godsrock, a GODS channel ║ ║ bot, but how could tKLP have been messing around with Godsrock? ║ ║ He mentioned in his interview in RCN issue #19 that he was in New ║ ║ York and New Jersey at the time of the incident and was no where ║ ║ near a computer? Perhaps someone is merely framing tKLP? But ║ ║ then again, he is the type that would want to do something lame ║ ║ like that. ║ ║ ║ ║ MAN : As I mentioned before, I wasn't on IRC at the time. It was the ║ ║ topic of conversation when I joined IRC that day. It's true that ║ ║ maybe somebody was trying to frame tKLP, bUT it's possible that he ║ ║ wasn't in New York at the time. He could have just used it as an ║ ║ allibi so to speak. I guess we will never know, however, he is ║ ║ known for shit like this so we acted on his reputation. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : During the channel takeover of #ROR, the topic was set to "ROR is ║ ║ Dead" by tKLP. However, upon a further /whois, it turned out that ║ ║ tKLP's account was not really his, but the account belonged to ║ ║ Nytemyst of GODS? Was Nytemyst a part in trying to kill ROR? By ║ ║ the way, I do have a log of someone using your handle and Internet ║ ║ account in channel #ROR during the incident, so you must have been ║ ║ on IRC at the time. ║ ║ ║ ║ MAN : I'm not sure about that, I had my own reason for grabbing #ROR, I ║ ║ wasn't really paying attention to that, I was watching Flounder ║ ║ make a fool of himself in the channel. Because at this point, ║ ║ Starwave was in the channel posting tKLP's personal information to ║ ║ everyone in the channel. I was moderating the channel. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : tKLP said that Starwave was not posting the correct address ║ ║ because Starwave could not have been able to get tKLP's address. ║ ║ Starwave got tKLP's private information through tKLP's ║ ║ ex-girlfriend, Jan, whom tKLP claims he has slept with several ║ ║ times, but he also claims that his ex-girlfriend does not know ║ ║ where he lives, so there is no way Jan could have given Starwave ║ ║ tKLP's real address. Do you believe that Starwave never posted ║ ║ tKLP's real address? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAN : I don't think Starwave posted tKLP's real information. I just ║ ║ thought that it was some lamer trying to get recognition. I +m'ed ║ ║ the channel after that, because even if it was tKLP's real ║ ║ information, then I would actually feel sorry for tKLP because ║ ║ that's going beyond boundaries. The scene is getting out of ║ ║ control with this. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You also mentioned that GODS is now known as Amnesia? Could you ║ ║ comment on that? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAN : Things are still getting sorted out right now with it. That's all ║ ║ I really know right now. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did GODS change its name to Amnesia, or did many members of GODS ║ ║ leave GODS to join Amnesia? Does GODS still exist? ║ ║ ║ ║ MAN : As I said before, things are still getting sorted out. I'm not a ║ ║ senior so I don't know all of the details of the situation. I ║ ║ don't know what's going on with GODS though, the channel is still ║ ║ +i and I can't get in. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Darkevil ║ ║ Subject : That Wasn't You?

What's going ║ ║ on? ║ ║ ║ ║ RTS : Yes, this person is a guy from my area code 403 and has an account ║ ║ at connect.ab.ca, he uses identd or an IP spoofer to fake ║ ║ addresses and he copies my information. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why would he copy your address just so he could have an interview ║ ║ with RCN disguised as you? Why would someone go through the ║ ║ trouble of pretending to be you? ║ ║ ║ ║ RTS : He copied me either for 2 reasons, he really wants to be me, or he ║ ║ has a real grudge on me and wants to ruin my reputation. He would ║ ║ go through the trouble so that he can make everyone think I am ║ ║ really taking over channels and quitting groups and such, so that ║ ║ he could ruin my reputation. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you believe that this spoofer has succeeded in ruining your ║ ║ reputation? ║ ║ ║ ║ RTS : Somewhat, he almost did succeed, I had thought that this got me ║ ║ kicked out of TMS (The Mod Squad), but I was wrong, my friends in ║ ║ TMS figured that it wasn't me. This spoofer is a pretty deadly ║ ║ person. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Who is this spoofer? Is he part of any other courier groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ RTS : I have no clue who this person is, we have some names, but I ║ ║ cannot mention them. I do believe he really likes fATE (Fast ║ ║ Action Trade Exchange) because he seems to say they are the best ║ ║ and all. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How will you prevent yourself from being spoofed again? When ║ ║ Hitex interviewed the fake Darkevil, that fake Darkevil did seem ║ ║ to push fATE up as a promising group even though the facts do not ║ ║ show it, perhaps he is a member of fATE sent out by Anti ║ ║ Derivative to hurt RTS' (Request to Send) good name? ║ ║ ║ ║ RTS : I really doubt that, I think he may just be out to hurt me, ║ ║ because I had talked to him in #Blind for about 15 minutes and he ║ ║ seems to really want to destroy me. I do not know how I will ║ ║ prevent this, I have already informed all RTS members and my other ║ ║ groups about the fake Darkevil and I have started the secret word ║ ║ method. I haven't seen him around lately, but he may pop up ║ ║ sooner or later. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You were also once a member of Malice, what was your position in ║ ║ Malice? ║ ║ ║ ║ RTS : After I read my supposed interview in RCN issue #19, I was shocked ║ ║ and mad. Lots of people thought I really quit RTS, so some groups ║ ║ like Empire and Malice offered me positions, I accepted the Malice ║ ║ Internet Coordinator possition because I thought I should help ║ ║ them and I thought my RTS reputation was over. I quit Malice soon ║ ║ to find out I could help RTS instead of helping Malice, and I ║ ║ rejoined RTS again after coordinating Malice for 2 days. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why did you leave Malice as an internet coordinator to rejoin RTS ║ ║ as a senior courier? ║ ║ ║ ║ RTS : Well, I was talked into coming back to RTS because I am loyal to ║ ║ RTS, leaving RTS made me feel guilty because I was helping Malice ║ ║ get better when I could have helped RTS. I was the Internet ║ ║ Coordinator for Malice, but now I may get the chance to advance ║ ║ from RTS senior sourier to becoming a council member or a ║ ║ coordinator soon after I help RTS get better. I believe that ║ ║ there must be trust, loyalty, brotherhood, and dedication in a ║ ║ group in order for it to succeed. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you believe that perhaps the qualities of trust, loyalty, ║ ║ brotherhood, and dedication could not be found in Malice? After ║ ║ all, that group does have a tendency of breaking up? ║ ║ ║ ║ RTS : Yes, I do believe there is all those qualities within Malice, my 2 ║ ║ day experience with them was great. I met lots of new people and ║ ║ some familiar faces. They may break up, but with the current ║ ║ loyalty there they might not. I was Loyal to RTS and I am good ║ ║ friends with the members within. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you believe that RTS is making a strong come back?

Shingen and I were invited to become GODS members, ║ ║ but elected to stay behind, because we didn't want to leave 30 to ║ ║ 50 Digital guys hanging. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What is the status of Damage at this moment? I was told that all ║ ║ the good couriers from Digital left to join GODS, so Damage is a ║ ║ courier group that doesn't have any good couriers, and thus, ║ ║ cannot really compete, is that true? ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Well, all of the "big name" guys left but we still have ║ ║ hardworkers that felt they were left out of Digital's operations. ║ ║ We have excellent couriers, some who were brought in from ║ ║ elsewhere, and some that have turned over a new leaf with Digital. ║ ║ I would like to congratulate the crew for holding together now in ║ ║ this time of limbo while we acquire new sites, especially my ║ ║ council, Reap, Gatekeeper, Stranger, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What do you mean when you say "some that have turned over a new ║ ║ leaf with Digital?" ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Well, others didn't do much because they weren't motivated, they ║ ║ didn't like the leadership, or they didn't get accounts on sites ║ ║ or whatever. They recognized the new leadership and were willing ║ ║ to become active again and give the new leadership a chance. I ║ ║ think it's working out well. Shingen, Damage Vice-President, has ║ ║ also been working very hard, keeping things together, and ║ ║ recruiting us new sites. I like the positive attitude shown by ║ ║ everyone in the group, and with a little more time and patience we ║ ║ can become one of the better courier teams on the scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You are also the RCN senior member in charge of the RCN www, has ║ ║ becoming the President of Damage hurt your status in RCN since you ║ ║ seem to be neglecting your RCN duties (hint, hint)? ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Well, no, I am working on an update to the RCN www, which ║ ║ currently resides on my HD. I have been working 70 hours a week, ║ ║ and trying to manage Damage. I've been doing all that while ║ ║ trying to maintain adequate sleep and a social life. When you see ║ ║ the new RCN www, you will agree that I think I am balancing them ║ ║ all quite nicely. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Grin :) ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : GRIN =)) ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You are suddenly the President of Damage, a respectable courier ║ ║ group, has that changed your status in the scene? How did you ║ ║ come to that position, and what were your previous leadership ║ ║ experiences? ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Well, Silent Mobius and Devast decided to give the group to ║ ║ Shingen and me, and Shingen in no way wanted to be the leader, so ║ ║ I assumed the role. As for leadership experiences, I have none ║ ║ running a group on the Internet, but I have much experience ║ ║ coordinating and running things in real life, so I believe I have ║ ║ the raw skills necessary to do the job, they just need to be ║ ║ molded a bit for leadership on the Internet. I work best under ║ ║ pressure, so I like that type of environment of trying to recover ║ ║ a group build character. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Yes, you are more than capable of organizing many things, ║ ║ especially RCN things. You seem to be quite good at that. ║ ║ Anyway, which ftp sites are part of Damage? ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Well, as far as ftp sites go, I'm not at liberty to say, but I can ║ ║ tell you we are acquiring ftp sites at the rate of about one per ║ ║ week. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : These are private sites right? I'm not talking about fake anon ║ ║ sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Correct, we don't deal in ANON sites, they are lame, and a great ║ ║ way to get busted. I recommend ANON sites for those who want to ║ ║ fuck up the rest of their lives. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Are you aware that when Digital split up to join GODS (now known ║ ║ as Amnesia), Damage was created and referred to as GODS' little ║ ║ brother group? And that members of GODS were told to be nice to ║ ║ Damage couriers, and to perhaps babysit after Damage couriers? ║ ║ Don't you feel that the above statement limits the courier status ║ ║ and abilities of Damage to being second rate at best? ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : I was and am fully aware of that. It wasn't a FULL big brother ║ ║ thing, it was more of a pseudo big brother thing, I guess that's ║ ║ what you can call it. The old Digital guys that left still wanted ║ ║ to remain faithful to Damage, and to help us with releases, a site ║ ║ or two, etc. It wasn't a GODS thing, it was more of a former ║ ║ Digital member thing. I think we need it to get back on our feet, ║ ║ and once we become self sufficient, we'll ask and need less and ║ ║ less help. I feel this nurtures our ablilites, enabling us to ║ ║ grow and become good couriers and respected couriers. I don't see ║ ║ us as their baby group, or something like that. We are all ║ ║ friends from Digital, and we intend to remain that way. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did you just say "releases?" Damage releases too? ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Releases, meaning released stuff, getting it to Damage so we have ║ ║ more to spread so we can get credits to get more files, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are your feelings on the fact that Digital split up to merge ║ ║ into GODS, only to see that GODS died, and then later renamed ║ ║ itself to Amnesia? ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Well, it's sort of ironic that they are now named a group that we ║ ║ onced competed against, but its not the same Amnesia. Key GODS ║ ║ members such as Quazimodem left the group, so none of the original ║ ║ GODS members remained. So they felt it was stupid to remain as ║ ║ GODS. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Perhaps GODS died because you weren't a part of it? They seem to ║ ║ need someone who can orgazine the group. ║ ║ ║ ║ DMG : Well, not to say that I could've prevented it, but I believe ║ ║ contributions from Shingen and I may have helped the group get ║ ║ along better, but the past is the past and I yam where I yam, as ║ ║ Popeye would say. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Zima Man ║ ║ Subject : MTY Dupes PNC!? Affiliation : Pinnacle Senior ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : A few months ago, Pinnacle was heralded by Jimmy Jamez, the ║ ║ President of DOD (Drink or Die), as the #3 utils group in the ║ ║ scene, do you believe that is still true at the present time? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : No, I do not believe that is true at the moment. Pinnacle is not ║ ║ currently #3 in the utils scene, but I believe that we are either ║ ║ #4 or #5 depending on how you look at it. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why do you believe that Pinnacle is no longer the #3 utils group ║ ║ in the scene, if that is so, then which group has taken its place? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : Well we had some internal problems in the group and the group has ║ ║ declined in its releasing power. As time passed we began slacking ║ ║ off and practically became dead. In my opinion the #3 utils group ║ ║ right now is Mortality. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I was recently informed that Mortality, a well respected utils ║ ║ group, duped Pinnacle on 3 releases in a short week, is that true? ║ ║ If so, what happened? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : A month ago, a guy applied to Pinnacle as a supplier and I told ║ ║ him to show me some releases. Some time passed and he offered ║ ║ Xref, Netpak Proffesional, and Internet ToolPak, which are Visual ║ ║ Basic tools by a company called Crescent, for Pinnacle. I told ║ ║ him that Pinnacle already released Xref and Netpak Professional, I ║ ║ was the one who supplied it so I knew it better then anyone, and I ║ ║ also told him that Internet Toolpak v1.0 was released by Pinnacle ║ ║ and and that v2.0 was released by some small group just a week ║ ║ before he offered it to me. Apparently, the supplier thought I ║ ║ was bullshiting and since I told him that Pinnacle is not ║ ║ interested in these releases he decided to goto Mortality. I have ║ ║ all products done by Crescent and I released most of them with the ║ ║ exception of a few. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Do you believe that the supplier told Mortality that Pinnacle was ║ ║ not interested because Pinnacle believed that those releases were ║ ║ dupes? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : I guess Mortality was busy that week and didn't do a good job dupe ║ ║ checking it. He also released a Visual Basic tool called Enquiry ║ ║ which he claimed to be 1 disk when in reality it's 3 disks and I ║ ║ have it and I will release it when I fix my HD. Mortality is a ║ ║ kick ass group and I was very dissapointed to see them dupe and ║ ║ release a broken copy of Enquiry. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You mentioned earlier that there were some internal problems in ║ ║ Pinnacle that almost caused its death, what were these problems? ║ ║ And what brought it back up after it almost died? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : Well, 2 of the seniors were really sick and spent a lot of time in ║ ║ the hospital and Iron Steel had some family problems. Back in ║ ║ October of 1995, we also lost one of our founders, Bishop, who ║ ║ went to PWA (Pirates with Attitudes) and our best suppliers said ║ ║ farewell to the funky business of releasing. Since the end of ║ ║ November of 1995, we started to release less and less and we had ║ ║ on average 4 releases per week and by January of 1996 we became ║ ║ idle. In my opinion, Pinnacle was never dead, we just took a ║ ║ break so I kept it alive and we are back in business again. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What role did you play in the creation of Pinnacle? Your role as ║ ║ the current leader of Pinnacle is undisputed, but how did you ║ ║ become its leader? Were you also one of the original founders of ║ ║ Pinnacle? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : Believe it or not, I was not one of the founders of Pinnacle. My ║ ║ career in Pinnacle began in October of 1995 when I got the ║ ║ position as the member coordinator. From there, I rose up to what ║ ║ I am today. The original founders of Pinnacle were Count Zero, ║ ║ Blazen, and Bishop. Bishop is currently with PWA, Count Zero with ║ ║ a small group called Dark*Star, and Blazen has moved to AOL. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Why did Bishop leave Pinnacle for PWA? PWA is a much larger group ║ ║ and is considered the #1 utils group in the scene, but that should ║ ║ be no reason why Bishop would want to leave the group he was a ║ ║ founder of, to join another group he was unfamiliar with? Did he ║ ║ have no loyalty towards the group he helped create? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : I have no clue why he abandoned us because he left a few days ║ ║ before I joined Pinnacle. I don't think that he wasn't loyal, he ║ ║ had his own reasons to leave. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How does Pinnacle get its releases? Do most Pinnacle suppliers do ║ ║ store pick up, or are there Pinnacle suppliers that have ║ ║ connections within companies? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : All of us do it differently. Some work in stores, some work in ║ ║ places that buy software, but only a few have actual company ║ ║ contacts. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : At one point in time, Pinnacle was a utils only group, but ║ ║ recently, I have to say that I am surprised or sad to see that ║ ║ Pinnacle has released a few games, why is that so? Pinnacle is a ║ ║ quality utils group and some must wonder why it is starting to ║ ║ release games. Has Pinnacle's quality of standard dropped in the ║ ║ recent months? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : Actually we have released games almost since the birth of the ║ ║ group but not that many. When our suppliers had games and we ║ ║ didn't have enough time to trade the game we released them. But ║ ║ it didn't happen a lot and we released only a few good ║ ║ games/addons but as of last month, Pinnacle is utils only. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How many releases would you say Pinnacle releases each week ║ ║ nowadays? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : I would have to say about 5 releases a week if you count all the ║ ║ things we released in the last month. Last week and this week, we ║ ║ are doing very poorly because me and one more supplier are having ║ ║ hardware problems and are unable to release anything. I usually ║ ║ download the release before releasing it and test it and I am ║ ║ unable to do it since I get CRC errors in every fucking zip I ║ ║ download as well as for every zip I zip myself. So when my HD ║ ║ gets fixed (hopefully this weekend) then you will see a lot more ║ ║ releases from us. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Perhaps you have a virus? Many people do complain that some ║ ║ Pinnacle releases do not work, what do you have to say to people ║ ║ that complain about Pinnacle's broken releases? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : I don't have a virus I just have to change the mode of my HD to ║ ║ LBA and format it. Can you tell me specifically which releases ║ ║ were claimed as broken? ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : People have come up to me claiming that your 19 disk release of ║ ║ Land Designer 3D v4.0 are missing some files and won't even ║ ║ install. Is that true? I personally would have no need for ║ ║ landscaping software, nor would I download copyrighted material. ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : Yes, that is absolutely true and I want to apologize to all those ║ ║ people who spent time downloading it. The problem with this ║ ║ release was that the supplier didn't know how to rip it and test ║ ║ it and I had to help him. He did a good job ripping it and ║ ║ testing it but he forget to take out the original cd out of his cd ║ ║ drive and he had no problems installing it from HD. It was his ║ ║ first rip and he made a mistake and everyone makes mistakes once ║ ║ in a while. Other than that there were no broken releases. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Yes, we all make mistakes, and it's what we do after we make the ║ ║ mistakes that separates the good from the bad. Was a fix or a ║ ║ fixed version of the program ever released by Pinnacle? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : No, at least not yet. The guy who supplied it asked the legendary ║ ║ Misha to do a crack for him but I don't know what's going on with ║ ║ it. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : But it's been almost a week since it was originally released? ║ ║ Wouldn't another utils group jump on that release by now? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : Yes and he asked him right after we found out that its broken. ║ ║ That just shows that not every group is capable of getting some ║ ║ stuff that we get while others are. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You said earlier that Pinnacle released about 5 releases each ║ ║ week, that is a very impressive number, but does that number ║ ║ include releases such PPEs which are freeware mods for PCBoard? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : No, we haven't released PPEs in a long time. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What do you see happening to Pinnacle in the future? Do you see ║ ║ it becoming the pinnacle of utils release groups, or do you ║ ║ believe that it would once again reach a low point and even ║ ║ perhaps die off? ║ ║ ║ ║ PNC : I don't think Pinnacle will die, at least not as long as I'm in ║ ║ it. Time will only show what will happen to us but I believe we ║ ║ will become stronger. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄█▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐▀█▀ ▄▄░▄▄▄ █▀█ ▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░▄█ ▐▄▌▌▄▐▐▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀█▀▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ █▄▄ ░░ █▄█ ▐█▌▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░▄▌▀▀ ▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐▐▌ ░ ▐▐█▌█▐██ ▐▐▌▌ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌▐▐▌▐█▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ █▌▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀█▄▐█▄▌ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐████▌▌▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Kang ║ ║ Subject : Couriers Releasing? Affiliation : THC Senior ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Could you start by telling me your current affiliations. ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : My main affiliation is THC (The Hardened Criminals) right now. I ║ ║ am involved with other groups, but I'm not as dedicated with other ║ ║ groups as I am with THC. I am really trying to focus on THC ║ ║ because of all the new changes that have been implemented. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : What are these changes within THC that would require your ║ ║ attention? ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : For those who don't already know, THC has moved to becoming a ║ ║ release group, we used to courier and release, but we only release ║ ║ now. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : A courier group has gone to release? How did all this happen? ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : Well, we have dropped a lot of couriers and idlers. The old ║ ║ couriers were moved to other big courier groups like fATE (Fast ║ ║ Action Trade Exchange), Motiv8, and RiSC (Rise in Superior ║ ║ Couriering). The slow couriers that weren't doing anything were ║ ║ just cut. BBS couriers were kept because we will still need them. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : I know fATE, Motiv8, and RiSC well enough to know that they just ║ ║ don't accept any couriers, you have to be good. How did you guys ║ ║ get them in there? ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : Well, remember we only sent over the good couriers. Super Hacker ║ ║ knows some people in there, and setup some deals with them. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : So by dropping a few couriers, THC moved over from couriering to ║ ║ releasing? That couldn't have been the only step, what else was ║ ║ involved in the transition? ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : Oh no. We have also added some suppliers, and are making projects ║ ║ to raise some money for THC, and therefore get some releases. We ║ ║ have also been talking with people that work for some big ║ ║ companies to also supply for us. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : You guys are raising money to BUY releases!? Anyway, is THC a ║ ║ games group, a utils group, or will THC be releasing both games ║ ║ and utils? ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : We are releasing both. I know it may sound like a bad idea, but ║ ║ we can easily get the job done and kick a lot of other release ║ ║ groups asses! We've already released several builds of NT and we ║ ║ are good at getting software that's by Microsoft. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : How would you rate THC against other release groups in the scene ║ ║ that are already well established? ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : I can't say that we are above them right now, but we have only ║ ║ been a release group for about 2 days and already have had ║ ║ working, fully cracked releases. That already puts THC above ║ ║ other groups that can't crack, groups like.. Napalm. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Did you guys keep your courier division to courier your releases? ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : No, we kept some couriers, so that they could send THC releases to ║ ║ our official couriers and boards. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : If you did drop your courier division, then which courier is the ║ ║ official courier group for THC, or is there none? ║ ║ ║ ║ THC : Our official couriers are fATE. We wanted the best and fastest, ║ ║ so we got them. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN : Eeeeiiiwww.. you think fATE is the best? Okay, well, everyone is ║ ║ entitled to an opinion.

He frantically tried ║ ║ to courier the file around on IRC and since I don't think he did a very ║ ║ good job, I'll publish it here to joggle your memory. Then, I will ║ ║ explain to you why Daniel is full of it here. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ The truth about the "Carter" incident, from someone caught in the ║ ║ middle, by Sargon. ║ ║ ║ ║ When RCN #19 was released, the most important issue was the one on ║ ║ Carter's "info." The info given out by RCN was completely wrong. This ║ ║ was not in any way RCN's fault. Apparently some local to Daniel, who ║ ║ was an enemy of his, started spreading Daniel's info around to a few ║ ║ people, saying it was Carter's. Eventually, a bunch of these sources ║ ║ got to RCN and gave them the info. This is where they got the "many ║ ║ sources" thing. ║ ║ ║ ║ Sorry, but you're wrong. RCN's many sources were mainly victims of ║ ║ Carter's that sent us the screen captures of the letters. It was mostly ║ ║ useful because we got information regarding where you were sending mail ║ ║ from. The information about you directly was given by one source and ║ ║ one source alone, and that source will be kept anonymous unless desiring ║ ║ not to in the future. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ RCN then called Daniel, and talked to him, pretending to be from ║ ║ some piracy organization. Daniel then started cracking up at the name ║ ║ Chris Carter. ║ ║ ║ ║ Well you could say that. It sounded more like a cry being passed ║ ║ off as a laugh to me, he really took a double take on that name. He was ║ ║ scared, and I don't think normal people get randomly scared at that ║ ║ name. Besides, I had named funnier names than Chris Carter before that, ║ ║ I said "Michael Jackson" and Chris Carter would have been dull ║ ║ comparatively. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ I happen to know that Daniel was stoned out of his mind that night, ║ ║ explaining the "laughing fits" RCN described. He found it funny because ║ ║ Chris Carter happens to be the producer of the X-Files, a show he ║ ║ obsessively watches. ║ ║ ║ ║ Are you trying to plead insanity? If he were stoned, he would have ║ ║ laughed when I told him I was calling from a software piracy ║ ║ organization. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ As for him acting paranoid, wouldn't you, if someone from a "piracy ║ ║ organization" called you at 3 in the morning harassing you? I also ║ ║ happen to know he IS a newbie, because I introduced him to the Internet, ║ ║ and he knows jack shit. ║ ║ ║ ║ Excuse me, but a guy that's new to the Internet doesn't know all ║ ║ that much about warez and frankly generally doesn't know IRC, much less ║ ║ be able to spot out commands to me like "/whois" over the phone and say ║ ║ "EOF From client" without reading it off of a piece of paper. This guy ║ ║ definitely knows what he's doing. Not to mention he also named, without ║ ║ my help, channels such as #fATEfiles, #Warez950, and #m8leech. Just ║ ║ knowing #fATEfiles shows he's been around longer than he said on the ║ ║ phone (he said 7 days) because #fATEfiles changed its name to #Exceed a ║ ║ long time ago. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ He hangs out on #Sexpics all day trading PORN. He is a lamer, ║ ║ simple as that. ║ ║ ║ ║ I don't care how embarassed a guy would be to admit that he hangs ║ ║ out in #Sexpics, if this guy were half as afraid as you describe him to ║ ║ be, he would have quickly said that to refute ever having traded warez. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ As for the "evil hacker warez pup nig" or whatever, that's where I ║ ║ fit in. I DO have his password, and I do have his account. When Daniel ║ ║ kept going "hmm, uhmm.." after he was asked a question, he was being ║ ║ SARCASTIC people. If you can't tell the difference between sarcastic ║ ║ and real, you should go to the doctor. ║ ║ ║ ║ Haha that's a funnier excuse than the drugs one! Look first you ║ ║ tell me he was scared and then you're telling me he felt comfortable ║ ║ enough to be sarcastic? I think you yourself are more gullible than ║ ║ your description of RCN. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Symantec is believed to be a Carter account because there is a lame ║ ║ leech bot that comes from Symantec, suspected to be Carter's. None of ║ ║ his parents work for Symantec, and he doesn't either. He's 14 years ║ ║ old. ║ ║ ║ ║ Daniel, next time you get accused of something you're guilty of and ║ ║ you try to publish a file acting like an evil friend try doing a better ║ ║ job of reading the text you're arguing against. Symantec was merely a ║ ║ return address that Chris was spotted on a few times. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ He happens to be a Christian (lame :>), who makes good grades and ║ ║ all that goody goody shit. He is not a LOSER that sits on the Internet ║ ║ all day trying to scare warez pups half to deat, and getting people such ║ ║ as Dr. Jekyll in trouble. Yes, there are people with better things to ║ ║ do. I know Daniel personally, and know that he is a LAMER, and wasn't ║ ║ even around when Carter was in his prime. He was still calling local ║ ║ BBSs on his Macintosh. I talked on the phone with Rebel Chicken and ║ ║ Daniel, and Rebel Chicken even admitted himself that he didn't believe ║ ║ Carter was Daniel. ║ ║ ║ ║ Hahaha Chris Carter wasn't on drugs when I called him but I really ║ ║ think you were when you wrote this! What do you think we're stupid or ║ ║ something? I called Rebel Chicken, in extreme awe, and of course he ║ ║ told me he never spoke with you voice. Come on man, if you're going to ║ ║ lie, do it in a less obvious manner! ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ He is simply a victim of an evil prank. How would you react to ║ ║ having your info posted as IRC's most hated person? ║ ║ ║ ║ Do you really want to know? I'd be on IRC cussing everybody out and ║ ║ doing a hell of a lot more than Daniel has been doing. I think Daniel ║ ║ thought for a change and figured out he'd be better off staying quiet ║ ║ and just writing this one file hoping people would just forget about it. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Daniel does not deserve this shit, he is some lame innocent newbie ║ ║ whose purpose to get on the net is to get porn. The ironic thing is, I ║ ║ happen to know someone who has Carter's REAL info. We 3-way'ed him ║ ║ about a month back, here is basically how the conversation went : ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carter> Hello? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Sargon> Is this Carter? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carter> Who are you? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Sargon> It doesn't matter ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carter> How did you get my info?? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Friend> Hey mother fucker ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carter> Oh.. it's you! If my info gets out, I will have you busted. ║ ║ ║ ║ Hahaha now I'm really laughing. Alright let me explain something to ║ ║ you. Daniel told me that he is currently not allowed to use his ║ ║ computer because his parents locked it up in a room due to his grades ║ ║ falling. Do grades fall because a guy is online trading porno? I don't ║ ║ think so. We all know that grades fall because of warez, in fact RCN ║ ║ published an article about it a while back. Daniel slipped up too many ║ ║ times to come back with any excuses right now. First he said he'd been ║ ║ on the Internet for about 7 days, then he said his grades dropped. ║ ║ What, he got a report card so soon? That's amazing. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Carter sounded about 18 years old, medium pitched voice. Not 14, ║ ║ with a high squeaky voice, like Daniel. If you doubt my credibility, I ║ ║ have been on IRC for 2+ years, I am an op on #Oldwarez, and everyone I ║ ║ know is aware of the fact that I would not lie about something like ║ ║ this. I share the account, why the hell would I share an account with ║ ║ Carter? =) To summarize, this whole thing was just some lame prank, ║ ║ that was taken too seriously by everyone. The source started at one ║ ║ person, then spread, eventually got to RCN, and now is everywhere. Just ║ ║ goes to show you what one prankster can do. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ sargon (Intrepid/Covin) ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Alright now my turn. To summarize. Upon calling Daniel, at 3 am ║ ║ his time, he was sleeping and was just waking up to my call as I talked ║ ║ him into waking up. As soon as I mention warez he tries to use his ║ ║ "friend" as an excuse, and then he majorly slips up. He said that he ║ ║ was actually on the phone with his friend when I called and he switched ║ ║ over with call waiting. Then somehow the excuse turned into a 3-way ║ ║ conversation at the end when I notified him that my "research department ║ ║ was working on tracing the other conversation." Daniel did what your ║ ║ average guy would do while denying involvement. Unfortunately, he ║ ║ didn't think fast enough at this late time of the night and each new ║ ║ excuse ran over the last. ║ ║ ║ ║ Furthermore, soon after publishing RCN #19, a guy came into the ║ ║ channel saying we had the wrong guy.

According to ║ ║ Lost Soul, Prophet came up to him to have a game cracked. At first, ║ ║ Lost Soul was not willing to crack the game for Prophet because Prophet ║ ║ could have released the crack for a game for Napalm. Lost Soul is a ║ ║ Prestige cracker and is thus, not allowed to crack games for other games ║ ║ groups such as Napalm. ║ ║ ║ ║ Prophet then saw that he had no choice but to lie to Lost Soul. ║ ║ Prophet said that the game Lost Soul would be cracking would not be used ║ ║ in a release by Napalm, but was merely for his own personal use. ║ ║ Innocently, Lost Soul agrees and cracks the game for Prophet, only to ║ ║ find that his crack was later released by Napalm. ║ ║ ║ ║ Napalm couldn't get a game cracked, so they had to trick an innocent ║ ║ Prestige cracker into cracking it for them. Since Napalm doesn't seem ║ ║ to have any crackers, and none seem to want to join Napalm, if you do ║ ║ happen to be a cracker, beware, don't be surprised if Prophet comes up ║ ║ to you and tries to trick you in the same manner he tricked Lost Soul. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄█▀▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▄█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▌█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Hitex ║ ║ Subject : Coredump...

TALK!!! ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The past few days, I've been reflecting on something. New ║ ║ communications packages and breakthroughs are popping up, and in my ║ ║ opinion, can be used to our advantage. By using voice technology and ║ ║ new file transfer tools, the warez scene as we know it can take a big ║ ║ leap as far as trading is concerned, and provide both group and trader ║ ║ to trader interaction with a new, exciting, and easy to use medium. Two ║ ║ programs that I have tried and feel meet these requirements are Internet ║ ║ Phone Release 4, by VocalTec and Internet Party Line by Intel. ║ ║ ║ ║ Internet Phone Release 4 is a valuable tool. It provides several ║ ║ features, with an easy to learn interface. Hidden under all the pretty ║ ║ cartoons and modern buttons, lies a great multimedia communications ║ ║ package, just waiting to be used. Over the past few days, I've been ║ ║ using the software, trying out the different tools such as file ║ ║ transfers (zip, txt, jpg, you name it), the whiteboard, text chat, voice ║ ║ mail and of course the main focus of the program, voice capabilities. ║ ║ Iphone4 lets users create their own channels, and allows other people ║ ║ who have the same interests to easily find and join these channels. ║ ║ ║ ║ Some channels that would probably be of interest to the average ║ ║ elite are Warez, Warez Sites, #Warez666, and even RCN has a channel open ║ ║ for people to gather, named RCN of course, and new channels pop up ║ ║ daily. Through the RCN channel, myself, RoadRebel, and a few others ║ ║ have gotten together and found out it can be both fun, and valuable to ║ ║ utilize Iphone to conduct small private meetings. I can show Road Rebel ║ ║ an article I am working on, and talk about it on the spot, we can ║ ║ transfer files easily, and many other features make it just a great ║ ║ tool. ║ ║ ║ ║ Internet Party Line lets more then one person get together to have ║ ║ voice meetings. Also available is a text chat window, for people who ║ ║ need it. What the program lacks in interface it makes up for in how it ║ ║ brings several people together for one purpose. Groups can use this to ║ ║ conduct their meetings in a new way, or they can use it just to chat ║ ║ with friends. I think Internet Party Line is decent, but it pales in ║ ║ comparison to the Internet Phone. ║ ║ ║ ║ I hope this gives you some insight on how you can use these tools to ║ ║ help bring your group together, transfer files, talk, and show each ║ ║ other information on Iphone's whiteboard, and basically have fun. And ║ ║ if you ever need help, I'm Oxygen in the Internet Phone Directory, look ║ ║ for me in RCN, see ya! ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄█▀▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▄█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▌█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Gorilla ║ ║ Subject : Old vs. New or My Time Was Better than Yours ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ This is a comment spurred by Hitex/RC's reply to Bollox in RCN-19. ║ ║ Bollox stated "how severely messed up the scene is today" and H/RC ║ ║ replied "... I won't believe it that the scene was ever any better. ... ║ ║ couldn't have been too excited when you downloaded Pong... " ║ ║ ║ ║ I am a long time trader, well known locally to any long-time pirate ║ ║ in 516. I have been BBSing and moving files for over 12 yrs. I started ║ ║ with the Commie, went to a TI 99/4A followed by the TI Professional, and ║ ║ then various IBM clones. I have been, and no doubt will again, be a BBS ║ ║ sysop running Telegard, Celerity, and PCB. I have been IRCing for less ║ ║ than a year now. ║ ║ ║ ║ Let me assure H/RC I was THRILLED when I got my first C64 program ║ ║ off of The Gull many years ago. ║ ║ ║ ║ Everyone suffers from the "my time was better than yours" syndrome. ║ ║ Ask your parents and their parents. Everyone feels their time was the ║ ║ best. The great thing about memories is that they are changeable by the ║ ║ one remembering them. As time passes, that which sucked when we were ║ ║ young either becomes a positive or fades from active recollection. ║ ║ ║ ║ So the concept that at any one time, and the scene encompassed by ║ ║ it, is any "better" than another is a waste of effort. It is ║ ║ comparisons that matter not hard truths. The scene not all that long ║ ║ ago (since I'm 41 it doesn't seem long) was quite different. That's ║ ║ about all you can say about it. ║ ║ ║ ║ When I started "elite" meant just that; you had to know someone who ║ ║ knew someone who knew someone to even get a BBS number to call for ║ ║ files. As a sysop, I had tons of new members who would call my BBS and ║ ║ seem to be under the impression that they were "elite" simply because ║ ║ they had a modem and enough sense (and even that wasn't always true) to ║ ║ use it. ║ ║ ║ ║ Their qualifications for accessing my BBS and their definition of ║ ║ "eleet" (and how I DO hate this butchering of the English Language) did ║ ║ not in any sense compare with mine. My definition was longevity, ║ ║ computer knowledge, innate intelligence, their reputation, desire, ║ ║ politeness and contacts, i.e. who do you know that I know? ║ ║ ║ ║ Theirs was "I am on IRC and get 0-day warez." Theirs was "I'm in ║ ║ XXX." Theirs was "I'm kewL." Theirs was "I've been trading for 2 ║ ║ months and my bud, who vouches for me has been in the scene almost a ║ ║ month longer!" Theirs was "Hey, you need me more Fo0L than I need you." ║ ║ ║ ║ As far as being on IRC goes, so what? Is like IRC selective or ║ ║ something? All you need is a channel name, a 2kps or better connection ║ ║ and don't prove yourself to be a TOTAL asshole and you can get all the ║ ║ 0-day you want. It's not hard and it tells me nothing about "you." ║ ║ ║ ║ And your warez group, so what? Many (if not most) of these groups ║ ║ suck. It used to be if you got a file, it would work cause the group ║ ║ had a rep to maintain. Now, groups & their members come and go like ║ ║ farts in the wind. Pride and personal reputation is a rapidly vanishing ║ ║ concept. ║ ║ ║ ║ You're "kewL?" What do you mean by that? You do drugs? Hell, a ║ ║ pussy from 1972 did more drugs in a week than you'll do in a lifetime. ║ ║ You mean you get files? What files? Useful working ones? You're ║ ║ "kewL" because you know what all those group initials mean? So does ║ ║ anyone who can download a text file. ║ ║ ║ ║ You've been in the scene 2 months? Wow! And your friend has been ║ ║ in 3???? I'm impressed! ║ ║ ║ ║ And "I need you more than you need me?" Even if true (and it never ║ ║ has been), that isn't a very smart thing to say to me, is it? At best, ║ ║ it is rude. Your momma may still be wiping your ass when you take a ║ ║ shit but don't expect me to. ║ ║ ║ ║ The Internet has made things more democratic which is good. I am ║ ║ elite but I never wanted to be an elitist. But, like all changes, that ║ ║ silver cloud comes complete with a dark lining. ║ ║ ║ ║ BBSing "way back when" was not solely about files. Files were small ║ ║ so it left you enough time to leech and still do other stuff. BBSing ║ ║ was about "community." It was a shared secret. A BBS was a place were ║ ║ people could communicate with others who shared that secret. ║ ║ ║ ║ With the size of files nowadays, and the spread of those huge files ║ ║ over the Internet, who "talks" anymore? How much talk goes on in the ║ ║ channels and if there is any, how much of it is even worth reading? ║ ║ And, assuming you BBS, how many elite boards even get any quality posts ║ ║ any more? ║ ║ ║ ║ The death of BBSing (and I personally doubt it will ever die unlike ║ ║ some) can be traced to large files and the "impersonality" of the ║ ║ Internet, where a person "surfs" but never gets wet. They do not, and ║ ║ can not, immerse themselves in what was, at one time, more than a hobby, ║ ║ it was an avocation. You BELIEVED in it. ║ ║ ║ ║ Who believes in anything any more? ║ ║ ║ ║ So let's not compare "my" days in the scene with "yours." I made ║ ║ friends, you know nicks. Your files are often much better but mine had ║ ║ "playability." Your files are easier to get but mine always worked. ║ ║ You get stuff faster, but my stuff stayed around longer. ║ ║ ║ ║ So, be happy with what you have. If you stay in the scene for more ║ ║ than a year or two, the new kids coming up are going to consider you a ║ ║ dinosaur too. They will argue and laugh at you when you are tempted in ║ ║ years to come to tell them, "Things were better when I first got into ║ ║ the scene." ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ █▐▌▄■▀ ░█▀█▄ ■▄▄█ ▀ █▄█ ▐▌▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄█▀▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀█▀▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐▐█▌█ ▀▀█▄ ░▐▐▌ ▄██▄█▀▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█ ▄█▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ███▌ █▄▀ ▄▄▐▐▌ █▌▐██ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀▐█▌█ ▄▄▄ ▐█ ▐█▌ ▐▄█▄ ██▌ ▐████▌▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░█▀▀▌ ▀░ ▐▐▌ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▐▐█ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐█▄▌ ▀ ▐█▄▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Karen ║ ║ Subject : Being Female in a Male Internet ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ What's life like on the Internet for a female? Well, I'll attempt ║ ║ to fill you in on the little things that will probably make many of you ║ ║ go "Hmm". ║ ║ ║ ║ I started out on the Internet many, many moons ago. I had a ║ ║ particular friend who was into BBS'ing as much as me at the time, who ║ ║ wanted to show me this thing called the Internet. "How much better than ║ ║ BBS'ing can it be?" I asked myself. Well, I don't think I've even come ║ ║ close to being as elated as I was that day. What I saw was his hard ║ ║ drive overflowing with warez. Immediatley, I wanted to have a piece of ║ ║ it - I needed it - it needed me. I was hooked by the time I walked out ║ ║ his door and drove home. ║ ║ ║ ║ Later that day, I had my own Internet account. My own account on ║ ║ the Internet! Wow, this was really cool! OK, time to start doing what ║ ║ many of us do best. ║ ║ ║ ║ CLANG! ║ ║ ║ ║ Wait a minute. All these people on here are males! "What!? You ║ ║ don't believe I'm female?! Aww, come on give me a break!" Needless to ║ ║ say, I found it very difficult on the Internet at first until I started ║ ║ making some friends. Having a female nick on IRC can have it's ║ ║ disadvantages, but I decided to stay with it - come what may. I guess ║ ║ being female has it's advantages too, as I started to meet some pretty ║ ║ influential people within the warez scene. Within a few months I had ║ ║ become a respected Op on many of the #WarezX channels, and started to ║ ║ have an influence on what happened within the politics of each. ║ ║ ║ ║ About two years after my introduction to the Internet, I decided to ║ ║ get a permanent connection. I was a true Net-head(ess). I would leave ║ ║ all of my sessions running, even IRC. I remember coming home from work ║ ║ to find 30+ messages per day asking for Netsex and the like. Daily, I ║ ║ would get mass invited to many #Sex type channels, and quickly realized ║ ║ that I needed to learn as much as possible about revenge on IRC. Enter ║ ║ my experience with Killer Gold (An mIRC script) which gave me the ║ ║ ammunition that I needed to combat the day-to-day nasties that I ║ ║ encountered. ║ ║ ║ ║ I now work with a mojor ISP in Australia, which allows me privileges ║ ║ that I would not normally get as a mere user (plus my permanent ║ ║ connection is free now!). I get to chat with the administrators of ║ ║ other ISPs, and request that any users that give me an exeptionally hard ║ ║ time have their accounts revoked, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ I live on the Internet and like anyone else, I can see most bad ║ ║ situations before they approach me. Experience counts for everything. ║ ║ When the situation warrants it, I call in the services of my friends. ║ ║ They've always been there for me since the start, and they will always ║ ║ be there. They are true friends. We all have true friends, and we all ║ ║ know who they are. I thank all my true friends. I would do anything ║ ║ for them in return. Life deals us many hands, and we have to learn how ║ ║ to react. ║ ║ ║ ║ Being a female in a male dominated area is hard to get used to at ║ ║ first, but when you meet the right people, it just clicks.

It's also nice to see ║ ║ all the support people show them for their work. RCN wouldn't exist ║ ║ without its readers, nor without the people who stop by in channel #RCN ║ ║ for a chat every now and then. Despite all the support and effort that ║ ║ goes into this piece of work, I have to be honest when I say that I have ║ ║ never encountered something that attracts more immaturity and whining ║ ║ than RCN. THREE times last week, I had to take back channel #RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ People say things that piss off someone else in interviews, or maybe ║ ║ one of the writers calls the wrong group of people a "lamer." I mean ║ ║ come on guys, if you have a beef with RCN, write to us, or talk to one ║ ║ of us in the channel. Don't go attacking it. In the last two weeks ║ ║ I've squelched collisions, mass-flooding, takeovers, ICMP floods, and ║ ║ probably everything you can imagine. ║ ║ ║ ║ At this point I would like to take the opportunity to thank ║ ║ Mikeysoft, who made me laugh quite hysterically at the mass killings ║ ║ scrolling by my screen when some people from Netcom came in with about ║ ║ 100 floodbots or so. ║ ║ ║ ║ Please try and remember that this is NEWS, and we are COMPLETELY ║ ║ unbiased. I also ask the writers to remember this. As a news team it ║ ║ is our job to find the truth and to get all sides of the story. We may ║ ║ not always do the right thing, but we try and even if we do screw up ║ ║ there is no reason to punish us over it. We do our best and if you ║ ║ don't like it, tell us! I don't think I've ever seen anyone kick banned ║ ║ or ignored for coming in and saying they didn't agree with something. ║ ║ Just try and remember that we are all volunteers, bringing a small bit ║ ║ of entertainment to the scene every week. We probably work harder than ║ ║ any courier, and just as hard as any cracker. We may not hook you up ║ ║ with the latest releases, but we deserve the same treatment as everyone ║ ║ else. One last thing, PLEASE remember that channel #RCN is NOT a warez ║ ║ channel. Do NOT join up and ask us for warez, you won't get any. ;) ║ ║ ║ ║ Well, if any of you have noticed me being pissy or non-sociable ║ ║ since I joined.. there is a reason for it. One which I won't go into ║ ║ detail, but let's just say I lost someone very important to me. However, ║ ║ I have been cheered up immensely by my new girlfriend, Heather. I'm ║ ║ mentioning her in here just to impress her and maybe to make Rebel ║ ║ Chicken jealous. ;) She is 15, (I'm 17 so it's not sick ;) ), a ║ ║ professional singer, a professional cheerleader, smart, talented, and ║ ║ CUTE!!! However, there is a small problem in her life.. someone she met ║ ║ on IRC has been harassing her. This guy thinks that she is in love with ║ ║ him. He has yet to acknowledge Heather and mine's relationship for more ║ ║ than 24 hours, and he is a complete pervert. This 19 year old has asked ║ ║ her for cyber, real sex, what color her pubic hair is, what her chest ║ ║ size is, if they can take a bath together, AND he even went so far as to ║ ║ ask her if she ever masturbates. Not only that, whenever he actually ║ ║ got her to go somewhere with him he stared at her ALL the time, threw ║ ║ her down on a bench and tried to force her to kiss him, and always had ║ ║ to be touching her in one way or another. She's tried telling himshe ║ ║ never loved him, that she loves me, AND even to "fuck off" but he just ║ ║ won't listen. ║ ║ ║ ║ So, faithful readers of RCN, I have a little idea. What say we ║ ║ further hammer the idea into his head that she does NOT love him? I ║ ║ propose a little hatemail contest. You can find him on IRC under the ║ ║ nickname of Draygon. He hangs usually in channel #Sailorscout and his ║ ║ own little channel #Draygon's-Kingdom. His email address is ║ ║ osika@pipeline.com. ║ ║ ║ ║ Here's the deal, write him a good hard hatemail, telling him what ║ ║ you think of his perverse child loving and attempted grand theft cradle, ║ ║ and send a blind carbon copy (i.e. so he can't see it was sent to me) of ║ ║ the letter to me, at darkwing@foothill.net. I will read them all, and ║ ║ the top 3 letters will get posted in the next issue of RCN (so you only ║ ║ have a week). Kindly help Heather and I out here, as we are growing ║ ║ quite tired of him. He tried to tell her yesterday that she is in love ║ ║ with him and will break up with me soon. What a joke. I hope to get a ║ ║ lot of responses, so just go over to your mailer real quick and type ║ ║ something up.

SPA (Software ║ ║ Piracy Association) did not collect piracy figures for the total ║ ║ software industry until 1993, due to a lack of data on the extent of ║ ║ consumer piracy. However, a glance at the data for business ║ ║ applications tells the conservative story. In 1989, the total business ║ ║ applications market in the U.S. was $3.1 billion, with a 48% piracy rate ║ ║ which is equal to $2.3 billion in lost revenues for software publishers. ║ ║ ║ ║ By 1994, the piracy rate in the U.S. market had dropped to 25%, or ║ ║ $1.05 billion in losses for the $4.2 billion market. The consumer ║ ║ market reached $1.3 billion that year. While we do not know the true ║ ║ size of consumer piracy, we can safely assume that it constitutes a ║ ║ large and expanding portion of the total software industry losses. In ║ ║ the SPA's 1995 Consumer Survey, 20% of respondents admitted to openly ║ ║ copying software. While the piracy rate in the U.S. has steadily ║ ║ declined since 1989, in international markets piracy has increasingly ║ ║ become a vexing problem. In 1994, SPA estimated that the piracy rate ║ ║ internationally was 49%. ║ ║ ║ ║ While CD-ROM software has, until now, been relatively protected from ║ ║ the threat of end-user piracy by the expense of CD-recordable ║ ║ technology, the threat to software publishers is threefold : ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.) As the cost of CD recorders (CD-Rs) rapidly decreases, the ║ ║ threat of CD-ROM piracy among end-users dramatically increases. ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) The software market which is now an international market, faces ║ ║ jurisdictional differences, wherein pirated software is ║ ║ considered low priority. ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) Counterfeit software from offshore is being shipped into the ║ ║ U.S. for rapid sale. ║ ║ ║ ║ In light of this increased threat to CD-ROM software, SPA has begun ║ ║ an investigation into potential solutions. Potential solutions cover the ║ ║ range from software and hardware solutions, to legal and legislative ║ ║ remedies. What follows is a critical assessment of all available ║ ║ options. The goal of this report is to identify the option that ║ ║ maximizes protection from unauthorized duplication, while retaining the ║ ║ autonomy of each software publisher. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Potential Solutions ║ ║ ║ ║ By using complex algorithms, software applications can be encoded to ║ ║ ensure protection. Encryption is primarily used to protect data that is ║ ║ being transferred via electronic distribution and on-line services. ║ ║ Encryption can also be used to protect software applications. ║ ║ Publishers could encrypt their software applications thereby making it ║ ║ impossible for an end-user to use a copy of the application unless they ║ ║ have the software 'key' to decrypt the software code and turn it into a ║ ║ usable format. The end-user would be required to register the product ║ ║ (either on-line or through a 1-800 number), in order to decrypt the ║ ║ software. It is possible to create a unique encryption key for each ║ ║ end-user. Additionally, if a publisher is opposed to forced ║ ║ registration, encryption keys can be shipped with software applications. ║ ║ However, by shipping encryption keys you allow the end-user to make a ║ ║ copy of the application and the key. Encryption has great potential ║ ║ because it can protect software that is being transmitted via electronic ║ ║ distribution methods as well as CD-ROMs. ║ ║ ║ ║ Protection built into the software application itself. Software can ║ ║ be configured in a variety of ways in order to ensure protection. ║ ║ Software protection can be configured to restrict the number of ║ ║ executions prior to registration, allow only network installation or ║ ║ single PC installation, and to restrict the amount of time in which an ║ ║ application can be used prior to registration. Software applications ║ ║ can be configured, once installation is complete to take a footprint of ║ ║ the resident hard drive. Once a footprint has been taken, the software ║ ║ application can only be used in conjunction with that hard drive, this ║ ║ prevents users from making additional copies and passing them along to ║ ║ friends. Depending upon the type of software protection used, an ║ ║ on-line or 1-800 registration may have to be set up by the publisher for ║ ║ authorized users. Software protection also allows for distribution ║ ║ across multiple media. The benefit to the software publisher would be ║ ║ that the same form of software protection could be used for CD-ROMS, ║ ║ diskettes, and for electronic distribution. ║ ║ ║ ║ Dongles are hardware keys which allow applications to be run on ║ ║ personal computers and file servers. Dongles are a separate piece of ║ ║ hardware that can either be provided with the product or purchased ║ ║ separately. Software must be configured to ensure that it cannot be run ║ ║ without the appropriate dongle. Publishers that select this option will ║ ║ probably need to manufacture several different dongles. Most likely ║ ║ there would have to be a dongle for each version of the software and ║ ║ different configurations (PC and network). On-line and electronic ║ ║ distribution of software applications is possible with dongles, but both ║ ║ the software application and the dongle itself are required for the user ║ ║ to execute the application. Currently, dongles are used for high end ║ ║ vertical applications as well as high cost applications such as CAD ║ ║ software applications. One of the major drawbacks to this option is ║ ║ cost. The cost of a single dongle (approximately $30) can conceivably ║ ║ double the cost of a consumer application. ║ ║ ║ ║ Software protection can be used as an additional measure to protect ║ ║ software using encryption technology. Decrypted applications can be ║ ║ configured in a variety of different ways through use of software ║ ║ protection in order to prevent unauthorized duplication. Encryption's ║ ║ strength lies in its ability to protect software applications via ║ ║ electronic distribution while software protection is most successful in ║ ║ preventing end user piracy. When used together, software protection and ║ ║ encryption provide the best line of defense against software piracy. ║ ║ ║ ║ The motion picture and recording industries have faced similar ║ ║ threats as those posed by CD-R technology to software publishers. A ║ ║ review of the Betamax and DAT issues and their respective industry ║ ║ responses will be useful in the development of a software industry ║ ║ response to CD-Rs. ║ ║ ║ ║ The issue of copyright infringement and electronic recording ║ ║ technology was first raised with the introduction of the Betamax VCR. ║ ║ Universal Studios and Walt Disney Productions sued Sony Corporation for ║ ║ contributory copyright infringement (Sony Corporation of America vs. ║ ║ Universal City Studios). Universal argued that "time-shifting " of ║ ║ copyrighted programs broadcast over television constituted copyright ║ ║ infringement and Sony, as producer of the technology that enabled ║ ║ "time-shifting" was a contributory infringer to any acts of this nature. ║ ║ In 1984, the Supreme Court ruled that non-commercial "time-shifting" of ║ ║ copyrighted programs does not impair the value of the copyrighted work, ║ ║ and therefore may be considered fair use. ║ ║ ║ ║ The introduction of home digital audio recording products in the ║ ║ late 1980's raised the recording industry's interest in potential ║ ║ copyright infringement due to the ability of digital recorders to ║ ║ produce identical copies of sound recordings. In 1987 the hardware for ║ ║ a digital audio tape (DAT) first became available in Japan and Europe. ║ ║ Electronics manufacturers and the recording industry each had an ║ ║ interest in resolving the issue prior to the introduction of DAT ║ ║ technology in the U.S. The electronics industry feared the threat of ║ ║ vicarious copyright infringement lawsuits by record producers and ║ ║ composers and the recording industry had fought for a royalty scheme to ║ ║ benefit copyright producers from home audio taping since the ║ ║ introduction of audio cassette recorders in 1963. ║ ║ ║ ║ In 1989, the International Recording Industry and the Consumer ║ ║ Electronics Industry reached a compromise during their meeting in ║ ║ Athens, Greece. This agreement stipulated that manufacturers of DAT ║ ║ machines were to insert Serial Copy Management Systems (SCMS) into all ║ ║ consumer DAT recorders. SCMS prevents users from making digital ║ ║ recordings of first generation copies, but allows unlimited copying from ║ ║ an original source recording. In 1990, Samuel Cahn and four music ║ ║ publishing companies forestalled the implementation of this compromise ║ ║ by filing a class action infringement suit against Sony Corporation ║ ║ (Cahn vs. Sony) in an attempt to bar DAT technology from the United ║ ║ States. This case was settled out of court in 1991. The Sony-Cahn ║ ║ settlement was codified by Congress in the Audio Home Recording Act of ║ ║ 1992 (AHRA). ║ ║ ║ ║ The AHRA has three significant provisions : 6 ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.) Mandatory implementation of SCMS or some similar serial copy ║ ║ protection on all digital audio recording equipment. ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) Mandatory royalty scheme on recording media and equipment ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) Prohibition of copyright infringement actions based on home ║ ║ copying ║ ║ ║ ║ SCMS implementation has allayed many recording industry fears that ║ ║ unauthorized digital audio taping would become a cottage industry. ║ ║ Additionally, the implementation of a royalty scheme has allowed US ║ ║ producers to take advantage of reciprocity with international royalty ║ ║ programs. While the SCMS implementation and royalty scheme have been ║ ║ beneficial to the recording industry, they also have drawbacks. As ║ ║ mentioned earlier, SCMS does not prevent unauthorized copying from an ║ ║ original source, therefore as long as an original source is purchased by ║ ║ the consumer, the consumer is free to make copies from that source. ║ ║ ║ ║ The royalty scheme developed under AHRA has been largely ║ ║ unsuccessful. This is because the royalties are based upon a percentage ║ ║ value of the recording equipment and media. Since 1992, the cost of ║ ║ these recorders and their media has dropped significantly. As such, ║ ║ royalties are now only a fraction of what they were when the Act was ║ ║ passed. The largest drawback of the AHRA is the provision prohibiting ║ ║ the filing of copyright infringement litigation action based on home ║ ║ copying. This provision is essentially an erosion of the rights granted ║ ║ by the Copyright Act of 1976. By including this provision, AHRA removes ║ ║ the question of whether home taping constitutes fair use by making home ║ ║ taping a non-infringing activity. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Recommendation ║ ║ ║ ║ The motion picture and sound recording industries have used ║ ║ litigation and legislation, respectively, to control new reproduction ║ ║ technologies, but these efforts have been either unsuccessful or ║ ║ unprofitable. Rather than follow in their footsteps, SPA staff ║ ║ recommends that SPA members endorse the incorporation of encryption and ║ ║ software protection into titles and applications distributed in CD-ROM ║ ║ format, as the best means for SPA to fight software piracy by end-users ║ ║ and other "middle men" using CD-Rs. SPA will seek legislation and ║ ║ regulatory changes in the US, Canada, and other countries that will make ║ ║ effective and reliable encryption available to software publishers. SPA ║ ║ will also pursue legislation that will prohibit the manufacture and sale ║ ║ of devices or services intended primarily to defeat anti-copying ║ ║ technology. By opting for the protection offered by encryption and ║ ║ software protection, publishers will retain their right to protect their ║ ║ software applications from unauthorized duplication and will not ║ ║ sacrifice any of the remedies available under the Copyright Act once ║ ║ infringement is discovered. ║ ║ ║ ║ In order to facilitate discussion on this critical issue to SPA ║ ║ members, the SPA will host a round table discussion on the CD-R issue ║ ║ and encryption and software protection solutions for all SPA members at ║ ║ the Spring Symposium in San Francisco. The purpose of this round table ║ ║ will be to bring together publishers and SPA members involved in the ║ ║ production of encryption and software protection technologies in order ║ ║ to give publishers the chance to express their needs to the developers ║ ║ that will supply this technology in the future. ║ ║ ║ ║ Several SPA Member Companies (protection providers) participated in ║ ║ an interactive session with CD-ROM publishers at the Spring Symposium. ║ ║ The discussion focused on the types of technology available to help ║ ║ prevent duplication of CD-ROMs. There are a wide variety of protections ║ ║ available depending upon the cost that the publisher is willing to ║ ║ undertake and the level of involvement that the publisher is willing to ║ ║ pass on to the end-user. The take home message from this discussion, is ║ ║ that there will be no free lunch. Technologies that are highly secure ║ ║ such as footprinting, hardware keys and encryption are high in cost and ║ ║ will increase the amount of steps an end-user will have to undertake ║ ║ before being able to use a product. Lower level security products and ║ ║ techniques such as flash screen warnings and forced registrations will ║ ║ be low in cost, but will be easier to circumvent. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ░▄▄▄ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄█▄▄▄▐██▀▌ ■▀▀░█▄▄ ▄▀▄▀▀█▄ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ r c n ▀██▄█▌ ░█▄▀█ ▀▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▀ ▀ █▄▌█▀▀ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀▌█ ▐███▀ █▄█▄ ▄▄█▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░▄ ▐▐▌▐▀ ░░▐▐█▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█▐░█▌ █▌▀ ░░░▐▐█▌█▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐▐█▌░░ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀ ░ ░░░░ ░░ ▄░▀▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌█▐▌▐█▀ █▌▐██ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌▌ ▄▄▄ ▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▐█▌█▌ ▐████▌▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀▄▄▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▀░▀▀ ▀ r e v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Rebel Chicken ║ ║ Subject : Group Reviews : Games ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the 5 best games release groups in the scene. ║ ║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║ ║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║ ║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity.

Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Utils Reviewed : 05/30/96 -> 06/05/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODALG21.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-02-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ MULTIMEDIA ALGEBRA 2 v3.4 FOR WINDOWS [1/6] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 4 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ==================== [ DOD * O2-June-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODCDVW.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-03-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ CD-VIEW 2.02D FOR DOS/NETWARE [1/1] Previous Total : 4 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 7 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 02-JUN-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DOD-QP16.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-04-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ QUERY PERFECT 1.0 16-BIT [1/1] Previous Total : 7 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 10 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 04-JUN-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DOD-QP32.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-04-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ QUERY PERFECT 1.0 32-BIT [1/1] Previous Total : 10 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 12 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 04-JUN-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DOD-LEX1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-05-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ TRA LexiCAT For Windows [1/2] Previous Total : 12 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 15 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 05-JUN-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYTREE.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 5-30-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ MCEN Tree Factory (c) MCEN Graphics Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ ___________________________ _____________ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ \_ | _/ \ _ \____/ \ \ / \___ ___/ / \ Running Total : 2 ║ ║ / \ \ \ /_/\_ ` \ /_/ \_/ \_/ __/ ║ ║ \_|_|_/\___/_|__/__/_|__/___/___/\___/\____\ ║ ║ Released: [05-30-96] Mortality 96! ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYQAPP1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 5-31-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ QuickApp v.3.00 (c) AttachMate Previous Total : 2 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 5 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/02]\_____\_______>[05/31/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYTLIS1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-03-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ TLIST 3 /PRO OCX EDITION ENHANCED Previous Total : 5 ║ ║ OUTLINE CONTROL Release Score : 2 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Running Total : 7 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/01]\_____\_______>[05/30/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTY-TS01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-05-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ TriSpectives CDRIP for Win95 Previous Total : 7 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 11 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/31]\_____\_______>[06/04/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYCADT1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-05-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ CADET v3.0 (c) ATTACHMATE CORP.

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene. ║ ║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║ ║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║ ║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly.

Utils ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene. ║ ║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║ ║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║ ║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

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 : 06/20/96 -> 06/26/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODCAFE1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-20-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ SYMANTEC CAFE 1.2 FOR WIN95/NT [1/9] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 5 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 5 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 20-Jun-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODDLD01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-21-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ LANTASTIC DEDICATED SERVER 1.1 [01/14] Previous Total : 5 ║ ║ ENGLISH DOCS Release Score : 2 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Running Total : 7 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 21-Jun-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODDLT01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-21-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ LANTASTIC DEDICATED SERVER 1.1 [01/44] Previous Total : 7 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 10 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 21-Jun-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYNC951.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-22-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ _______________________________________ Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ \ \ \ \_ _/ \ \ \_ _/ / / Release Score : 5 ║ ║ / / / / / / `_/ / ` / /_ / /_\ / Running Total : 5 ║ ║ \_/_/_/\__/_/_/__/__/__/___//__/____/ ║ ║ - M O R T A L I T Y - ║ ║ ==[06/22/96]===============[1/2]======== ║ ║ [Norton Commander v1.01 for Win95 FINAL] ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYPART1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-23-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Print Artist 1500 (c) Sierra Previous Total : 5 ║ ║ _______________________________________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \ \ \ \_ _/ \ \ \_ _/ / / Running Total : 9 ║ ║ / / / / / / `_/ / ` / /_ / /_\ / ║ ║ \_/_/_/\__/_/_/__/__/__/___//__/____/ ║ ║ - M O R T A L I T Y - ║ ║ ==[06/23/96]===============[1/6]======== ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYKFM1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-24-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Keller Fleet Maintence (c) Keller Previous Total : 9 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 12 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/04]\_____\_______>[06/24/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYPP212.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-25-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Wanderlink v2.12 with Proxy v1.6 Previous Total : 12 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 15 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/01]\_____\_______>[06/25/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYZHPM1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-25-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Zip!

and review them. Well, ║ ║ it's simple! I own this magic wand called the "Game-o-rizer." What it ║ ║ does, is it magically downloads shit at 100 MB/S and then it ║ ║ automatically follows the directions in the NFOs and installs them, plays ║ ║ them, and then writes about them. See, I don't actually do anything, ║ ║ it's all my Game-o-rizer magic wand. And now for a limited time only, ║ ║ you too can purchase a Game-o-rizer magic wand for the low price of only ║ ║ $1,999. A steal at this low price, it comes in the following colors : ║ ║ Green, Red, Blue, White Cum, and Yellow Vaginal Yeast Infection. To ║ ║ order, send chicks or babes to "Game-o-rizer," 11 Bullshit Dr., Smokey- ║ ║ Air, Los Angeles, California, 90210. Shipping and handling only $50. ║ ║ Please allow 2-4 centuries for delivery, as it will be shipped through ║ ║ UPS. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────║ ║ ║ ║ And now from the home office in So-Sue_Me City, Iowa, it's time for ║ ║ Ionizer's Top Five List. (I couldn't afford all 10 so I got the half- ║ ║ price deal). Please take this section with a laugh and don't be ║ ║ offended, it's just a joke. REPEAT: this is merely a joke, it's not ║ ║ true, and is meant just for a laugh. ║ ║ ║ ║ ****TOP FIVE SIGNS TO TELL WHO RELEASED THE GAME YOU DOWNLOADED**** ║ ║ ║ ║ 5.

But ║ ║ if you're interested in that or need this program for your business go ║ ║ ahead and download it, it's kind of technical so if you're a machiner ║ ║ and a dumbass all in one don't bother. I found a couple of errors in ║ ║ the program. When I went through the icons on the tool car I came up ║ ║ with this error when hitting the first icon. "cannot find ║ ║ ..\icon\name.bar" It did this for all the icons until I clicked off ║ ║ that first main icon. Hmm maybe something was left out or just too damn ║ ║ big to add.

This is going to be YOUR column that is ║ ║ a cross between Dear Abby and Dave Berry. The most important part of ║ ║ this is YOUR participation. 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, ║ ║ ║ ║ First some background, I by nature hate IRCops, period, sure they ║ ║ got a job to do, but so do me and my 10 clones. Anyway, I enjoy and use ║ ║ smoke's clones whenever I feel it is necessary. I am as careful as ║ ║ possible when cloning, making sure to span as many servers as possible, ║ ║ and to change nicks, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyway, there I was on a normal day, and some guy decides he can ║ ║ insult me, well I didn't have any transfers going on so I decided, hell ║ ║ let's load up the clones. I load up each one by one, looking for a ║ ║ server I'm not k-lined on each time, I'm able to only have 1 clone on ║ ║ every server except irc.kern.com. There, I was in my tempClone channel ║ ║ watching over them and doing my work, when in pops this dude named ║ ║ Moogle, he says "Clones are bad, we no like." I was like get away, and ║ ║ kicked him promptly, he pops back in then I whois him noticing he is an ║ ║ IRCop, I say fuck off, and he K-lines 2 of my clones, (the ones on ║ ║ Kern). ║ ║ ║ ║ Now I was pissed, what an ass, so I take my 7 remaining clones, ║ ║ start an all out attack, go get my 2 k-lined clones on different ║ ║ servers, and have them dcc bomb him. And of course he went down, there ║ ║ I was laughing it off, then Boom like a gun shot me and each of my 9 ║ ║ clones were instantly killed with the message "Don't flood me fucker" or ║ ║ something to that effect. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now I was furious, just cause he managed to type /kill he thinks he ║ ║ is hot shit, so I msg him asking what the fuck is up. He starts being a ║ ║ total ass, so I start telling him off threatening him. Then all of a ║ ║ sudden this happens: ║ ║ ║ ║ *** oDogg^2 has quit IRC (Killed by Moogle, Threaten me some more, ║ ║ fucker) ║ ║ ║ ║ Now, MAYBE he was warranted to kill K-line my clones, maybe to kill ║ ║ them, but killing some one for threatening them sounds an awful lot like ║ ║ a #WarezX Channel. Then I try to load up my clones and there are ║ ║ k-lines ALL over the place! W ith MSG's like: oDogg^2 You are banned ║ ║ from this server : bad_bad_bad_server_stuff. Now what gives an IRCop ║ ║ the power to k-line ppl on multiple servers just for threatening, or ║ ║ just an isolated (as far as he knows) cloning incident! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Odogg ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Stupid Odoggy Dog, ║ ║ ║ ║ Well, I have a few things to say about this, first, in the past few ║ ║ months I have made it my job to watch IRCops for bad kills, and try to ║ ║ get logs to publish and send to their admins. AND in this time I have ║ ║ made some opers VERY pissed. Right now, I can only log onto 3 servers, ║ ║ I logged on yesterday and found I was k-lined on anarchy for clones???? ║ ║ I never ran clones there! The opers do talk, and if you fuck with one ║ ║ expect to get fucked all over IRC. ║ ║ ║ ║ BUT you can do other things to ops to annoy the shit outa them. ║ ║ When you see an OP kill someone for clones, message them and tell them ║ ║ what a nice kill that was, and how they must feel like a big man now, ║ ║ say like "WOW, you typed /KILL <Nick>, you must feel SOO POWERFUL. This ║ ║ will almost ALWAYS piss a IRCop off BAD. BUT they have NO RIGHT to kill ║ ║ you for this, that wasn't a threat. And you weren't doing ANYTHING ║ ║ wrong. If they kill you for that write it up and send it to me. ║ ║ ║ ║ I once read one of the truest things ever when I started on the ║ ║ Internet. I went to the MIRC Homepage and in BIG TYPE it said, STAY ║ ║ AWAY FROM OPS THEY ARE THE SCUM OF THE IRC, AND ARE JUST KIDS WITH ║ ║ POWER. And I have seen this proven true for about %95 of IRCops. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Road Rebel ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Dear Road Rebel, ║ ║ ║ ║ IRC, channel operators, and the warez scene. It goes hand in hand, ║ ║ yet they clash horribly at times. IRC is obviously great for warez in ║ ║ some ways. I would probably never be involved without it, since there ║ ║ are none of those 'k-rad elite boards' out here. But shit, IRC brings ║ ║ out the lamest in some people, and most ops don't help it at all. I'm ║ ║ just kinda writing a list of things that bug me, and why they do. So ║ ║ here it is : ║ ║ ║ ║ <WaReZd0oD> I want Command & Conquer, and Warcraft II, and MS Office ║ ║ 95!!! ║ ║ ║ ║ <Fro> Yeah, I got Command & Conquer, 12 disks, wanna trade? ║ ║ ║ ║ <WaReZd0oD> Sure!! Do you want a site list?? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Fro> No, but do you have .A03, A07, and .A16 of Dark Forces? ║ ║ ║ ║ <WaReZd0oD> What's an .A03 file? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Fro> Woops! Gotta go!! ║ ║ ║ ║ This is an extreme example obviously, but still, I've seen stuff ║ ║ like this happen. It's more often new guys, who are looking for good ║ ║ stuff to trade, but still, take that site list you have, open your damn ║ ║ cute FTP, and search through the list. Find one small thing on each ║ ║ site you like, and download it. Upload your list, or whatever you ║ ║ downloaded from the last site. Share the warez!! ║ ║ ║ ║ It's really nice when you go out for a pop and you leave a timer in ║ ║ your home channel telling everyone that, but when some schmuch types ║ ║ /timer 999 60 /me wants Virtual Valerie!! Then the ass leaves his ║ ║ computer and goes to sleep. By the time he wakes up, most of the people ║ ║ who messaged him will be gone, so he's wasted his time, our time, ║ ║ bandwidth, and generally made an ass of himself. ║ ║ ║ ║ I have on ONE occasion used a timer, it was in #warez666 on ║ ║ UnderNet, and it was set at 5 minutes. Everyone who joins the channel ║ ║ will likely see that once, and once they've seen it once and said to ║ ║ themselves "Nope, I don't have that for him," they just want to get on ║ ║ with their trading, not see your request every minute. ║ ║ ║ ║ There are times you REALLY need some software, or a crack, or ║ ║ whatever. But don't put a timer on. Check the fileservers, the XDCC ║ ║ lists, and the sites. Then ask, but damn, don't put a timer on! With ║ ║ mIRC, just hit the damn up arrow to repeat your last command, and do it ║ ║ every couple of minutes randomly. That way, you can make sure your ║ ║ message gets out when there is less scrolling text obscuring it. ║ ║ ║ ║ Ops that don't follow their own rules really bother me. When an op ║ ║ starts to flood, repeat, and any of that shit, they don't deserve ops. ║ ║ One example last week was an op flooding the channel with his request. ║ ║ Ok, so I can put up with that for a few seconds, but he went on and on. ║ ║ And his request was fucking for shareware!! Finally, I sent it to him, ║ ║ and got a thanks, which was really appreaciated. If you are going to ║ ║ make a rule, be prepared to follow it! Same goes to non-ops, follow the ║ ║ unwritten channel rules and you will get along just fine. ║ ║ ║ ║ I'm by no means Elite, nor do I claim to be. I'm an ordinary warez ║ ║ leech who passes between 5-15 megs through his computer a day, and is ║ ║ sick of all the bullshit that is ruining the scene. When I started ║ ║ about 6 months ago, it was bad, but not this bad. Enough bitching, ║ ║ great mag! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Fro ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Fro, ║ ║ ║ ║ Ok, good letter, and good points, BUT.. if you read last week's ║ ║ topic for Dear Road Rebel, you would know that topic was on "IRC OPERS" ║ ║ not channel operatoers. You know, IRC OPERATORS, the cops of IRC, most ║ ║ of them are total cocks with nothing better to do than kill your one ║ ║ clone for offering, BUT won't bother to help get a channel back for you. ║ ║ ║ ║ ALTHOUGH there are exceptions, and some ops have been actually cool, ║ ║ this is RARE though. Everyone knows a dickhead op or two, one that ║ ║ stands out is a guy named VILE. This prick killed me off winternet.com ║ ║ (shitty server anyway) for being a clone. I had NO CLONES LOADED, I ║ ║ don't even run clones anymore. I messaged him about five times to ask ║ ║ what his fucking problem is, the cocksmoker never answered. That is a ║ ║ prick! ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Next Week's Topic : FILESIZE!!! ║ ║ ║ ║ What do you think the limit should be on a game or util?

Try your hand at another warez group or ║ ║ warez channel. Make some new friends and you may find that the warez ║ ║ scene is not so bad after all! ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ <Aquarius> (January 21 to February 19) : Not everyone can see things as ║ ║ clearly as you can, so if you consider holding back from ║ ║ releasing a game because it is not cracked, follow your heart ║ ║ and do the right thing. People named Incarnate might tell ║ ║ you to do otherwise, but following your own heart is the only ║ ║ way you will find true happiness in the scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Pisces> (February 20 to March 20) : Don't let your determination weaken ║ ║ over something that could pay big dividends in the future. A ║ ║ Venus-Mars liaison on Saturday is urging you to give the ║ ║ benefit of the doubt to a relative or other intimate. ║ ║ Concessions now will be repaid later. Take the time to ║ ║ sacrifice now, and you will enjoy the fruits of your labor in ║ ║ the future. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Aries> (March 21 to April 20) : Much of what you chat about in #Teensex ║ ║ is very useful in real life. Monday's Full Moon marks the ║ ║ climax of the sexiest chapter in your life. Now it's time to ║ ║ begin writing the next one. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Taurus> (April 21 to May 21) : You have reached a crossroads and must ║ ║ decide which way to travel. Two opposing courier groups are ║ ║ going to try to recruit you. Opportunities, adjustments and ║ ║ challenges all loom on the celestial horizon, so choose wisely. ║ ║ After Venus, your ruler, reverses direction on Tuesday, a ║ ║ dilemma will be more easily resolved. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Gemini> (May 22 to June 21) : Someone appears to be looking at a money ║ ║ or business matter from a completely different perspective. ║ ║ Even so, your ruler, Mercury, shifts signs on Tuesday you'll be ║ ║ better equipped to move on to the next stage of negotiations. ║ ║ Hold on to our aces, you may need them later. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Cancer> (June 22 to July 23) : Something important is about to happen ║ ║ that will impact a close relationship. Monday's Full Moon in ║ ║ your partnership sign of Capricorn will end a period of ║ ║ confusion and desperation. Join channel #gaysex and you find ║ ║ that your true friends are gay too. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Leo> (July 24 to August 23) : You know instinctively how to handle a ║ ║ career or health matter, and though there may be no simple answers ║ ║ to this problem, you must do what you feel is right. With the ║ ║ Sun, your ruler, and Jupiter on your side later in this week, you ║ ║ are in a winning position. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Virgo> (August 24 to September 23) : With so much nonsexual activity in ║ ║ your solar chart this week, you should be feeling confident and ║ ║ optimistic, particularly about your situation in finding a good ║ ║ solid group to join. However, avoid rushing into any group that ║ ║ seems too flashy or k3-rad1cal. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Libra> (September 24 to October 23 ) : A personal goal or professional ║ ║ ambition can now be successfully pursued, all you need is the ║ ║ will power and staying power to fulfill it. A weekend alliance ║ ║ between your ruler, Venus, and Mars indicates a romantic ║ ║ encounter with someone from a different background. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Scorpio> (October 24 to November 22) : You are where you are for a ║ ║ reason, so think carefully before embarking upon a change of ║ ║ job in a warez group, direction or surroundings. Monday's ║ ║ Full Moon marks a turning point, and the next move is up to ║ ║ you. An open heart and mind will take you further at the ║ ║ moment than any fixed ideas. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Sagittarius> (November 23 to December 21) : You can accomplish anything ║ ║ you want this week if you take the trouble to understand ║ ║ your depper needs as well as those of a loved one. With ║ ║ the Sun linked to your positive, Jupiter, on Thursday, ║ ║ your self-esteem should be soaring.

I know it's nothing big, but ║ ║ still, it's FREE. This trick only works on COCA COLA machines. It has ║ ║ something to do with the validator on the machines. Take a ║ ║ dollar bill (as crisp as possible) and lay it george-side-up with our ║ ║ dear first prez. Face it left as if you were going to stick it in the ║ ║ machine. Now take some scotch tape and make 2 strips as long as the ║ ║ dollar. Now take those pieces of tape and attach them to the white edge ║ ║ of the dollar facing you (just the one edge). Your dollar should look ║ ║ like this now. ║ ║ ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ - - ║ ║ - - <=---Tape ║ ║ - - ║ ║ - - ║ ║ +------+ ║ ║ | | ║ ║ | | <=---Dollar ║ ║ | | ║ ║ | | ║ ║ ║ ║ Now take scotch tape and make bars across the two pieces of tape ║ ║ already connected to your dollar (sort of like a ladder) overlapping ║ ║ each one just a little. Get down to the bottom and turn the bill over ║ ║ and do the same thing on the other side (just the ladder rungs). Now ║ ║ take a pair of scissors and trim the tape to make it all even and ║ ║ square. Now take something hard and run it over the tape a few times to ║ ║ ensure that it won't come off (Remember kindergarten? Put the glue on ║ ║ and press down hard while you count to 10?). Now you're ready. Take ║ ║ your new and improved currency to the nearest coke machine with a dollar ║ ║ bill vindicator and insert your dollar. You have to let the bill go in ║ ║ almost until you cant hold the tape anymore, it's important to let the ║ ║ bill get in far enough for the scanner to read the dollar, and then whip ║ ║ it back out. ║ ║ ║ ║ You should hear the click of the machine and your change drop out. ║ ║ Make your selection and voila! Now the cool thing is when you find a ║ ║ machine that only takes 50 cents. Cause you get your coke and 50 cents. ║ ║ I made 300 dollars one time doing that. ║ ║ ║ ║ Another Way : ║ ║ ------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ Take two dollar bills, one facing george-side-up, and the other ║ ║ facing george-side-down. Take a piece of CLEAR tape, and tape them ║ ║ together. Make sure NO space is between the two bills. Now go to the ║ ║ nearest machine, and insert the bills. It should go in enough to read ║ ║ the first bill. Then when it reads the second bill, thinking you want ║ ║ two cokes, it rejects the bill since the second bill is ║ ║ george-side-down. When it rejects, the first dollar comes with it. You ║ ║ get your coke, and maybe some change. ║ ║ ║ ║ Another Way : ║ ║ ------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ This method is probably the easiest because it requires no ║ ║ preparation! Go to a vending machine and pretend you are putting in a ║ ║ dollar bill, push the button of the coke you want, keep pressing it. ║ ║ Then yell out a swear, go to the store manager, and tell them the ║ ║ machine ate your money, they get a coke for you, you thank them, they ║ ║ apologize, you go away to another store, and you do the same thing. If ║ ║ you want the money, then follow the procedures, and when it comes to the ║ ║ store manager, tell them the machine ate your money, and when they say ║ ║ they'll get you a new one, say no, I have to go, I want my money back. ║ ║ Then you get money. ║ ║ ║ ║ A combination of the two is good too. Go to one store, tell them ║ ║ you want a coke, because it ate your money, then go to another store, ║ ║ tell them you want money back, then go to another store, you want coke, ║ ║ another, money, etc. This way, you get coke, and money to get more coke ║ ║ or other things like jewelry for your girlfriend or computer stuff. ║ ║ ║ ║ Another Way : ║ ║ ------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ If the machine only accepts coins, then you're in luck, have I got a ║ ║ ripping job for you! Get a train schedule, go to the rail road tracks 5 ║ ║ minutes before the train comes. Bring loads of nickels, put them on the ║ ║ rail road track. Wait until the train runs them over. You should now ║ ║ see a flat piece of metal in the place of the nickel. Notice how its ║ ║ the same size has a quarter? Now use it. Get 1 can of coke for 15 ║ ║ cents, instead of 75 cents. Oh yeah, if you're not careful, the train ║ ║ might run over you legs, OUCH! So, do becareful out there. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ░▄▄▄ ▀░█▄▄ ▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ r c n ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▐██▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄ █▄▄ █▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀█▀▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ █▀▌ ░▄ ▐▐▌ ▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ▀█▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ █▄█▄▐░▀ ▀█▄▄ ░░ ░░ ██ ░░ ▄█▐▌ █▌▀░▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░▐▐█▌░ ▄▄█▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ░░ ░▐▐█▌█▐▌░░ ▐▐█▌░ ██▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐▌▌ █▀░ ▄░▀▀ ▐█▌▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐█▌ █▌▐██ ▌▄ ▀█▄ ▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▀ ▀▀█▄ ▄█▀▀ ▐████▌▌ ▀▀■▀▐█░ ▀░ ▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀▀░█▀▌ ▀▀█▄ w a r e i q t e s t ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Test your knowledge of the WAREZ SCENE!

Recently on IRC I had Dark-Elf online and ║ ║ he said he had just e-mailed this girl he really liked. Well, that's ║ ║ legit. Then, he asked me to publish it in RCN because he wanted to show ║ ║ his girl how famous he is. Fair enough. So here it is, the unedited, ║ ║ unabridged version. Enjoy. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Amy, ║ ║ ║ ║ How's your summer so far? Mine has been good. How has yours been ║ ║ so far? [Getting a tad repetitive here Dark!?] Do you like school? Or ║ ║ do you like going to school? I like going to school because that's ║ ║ where all my friends are. I liked being around you in school. I miss ║ ║ being around you. [Golly gee how sweet!] Well so far this summer. I ║ ║ went to the movies a couple times with my best friend, (Stephen). I ║ ║ went to ultra-zone a lot. I am a role-player at ultra-zone (I am proud) ║ ║ [well sure Dark, I would be too!]. Role-players are the best people at ║ ║ ultra-zone. I have some good places. We are going on vacation on July, ║ ║ 4 1996. We will be gone for 2 weeks to Florida. Maybe we can go to the ║ ║ movies sometime. We could just like meet there at the movie theatre. ║ ║ If you do not want to then don't. Don't say yes because you can't say ║ ║ no [Dark, one thing you will find about women, is that they NEVER say ║ ║ Yes when they mean No!]. Say yes if you mean it. If you know what I ║ ║ mean. If you have a boyfriend now I shall understand. Life's like a ║ ║ box of choclates [pffffft!!!]. You never know what you're going to get. ║ ║ Well this is a little guess into a box of choclates. As to if you would ║ ║ like to spend some time with me [not original but kinda cute I guess!]. ║ ║ If you don't wanna go to movies. We can go to ultra-zone. I shall ║ ║ protect you there [BUAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!]. It will be alot of fun for me ║ ║ wherever we go. If you feel you are in commitment with that farmer guy ║ ║ [ooh, that may have cost you the medal right there!]? Then don't go out ║ ║ with me. Especially a person I don not even know. This letter was ║ ║ semi-hard to write, because I did not know the out come of the ║ ║ reader(You). I tried to give it to you in school but I could not [cuz ║ ║ I'm a whimp]. All these mixed emotions! It's hard being a TeenAge boy ║ ║ [HAHAHAHAAH!!!]. Please don't show this letter to anyone [hmm.. now I'm ║ ║ confused]. If you ask me if you can show it to them then I shall give ║ ║ ya an answer. If PJ wants to read it she can (she is your best friend). ║ ║ She really does not like me as a friend though. I just think me and PJ ║ ║ think differently. Just wanted her know that. Remember. You mean Yes ║ ║ or You mean No. Gimme an answer tha'ts in your heart for there is an ║ ║ answer to any question in the universe. [roo!?] ║ ║ ║ ║ The time is 1:43am 6-20-96. ║ ║ ║ ║ I write things real late because tha'ts when all my feelings come ║ ║ out. I usually go to sleep earlier though. Hope you feel the same way ║ ║ I do about you as you do me [see comments below!]. If you don't then ║ ║ say now. It will be ok. If you do please tell me. ║ ║ ║ ║ Love, ║ ║ Dark-Elf ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ My my my... MYYYYY my my. MYYYYYYYYYYY my my my! Well Dark-Elf, I ║ ║ really hope for the best. Hope being the key word in that sentence. So ║ ║ I have a few things to say. First of all, how the FUCK are you going to ║ ║ "protect" Amy at ultra-zone!? Second, what IS ultra-zone!? Third, next ║ ║ time you write a girl a letter, run it through one of the RCN Editors ║ ║ first, we'll fix all the grammar ;-). And lastly, let me just comment ║ ║ on the sentence "Hope you feel the same way I do about you as you do ║ ║ me." There's a very important thing when writing a letter to a girl for ║ ║ the first time. You HAVE to make sure that the romantic part of the ║ ║ letter says exactly what you meant for it to say. The small-talk ║ ║ doesn't matter too much, it just burns space on the paper, it's the ║ ║ leading action, but your climax can't say something you didn't mean for ║ ║ it to. Let me first explain what that sentence means, in reality. It ║ ║ means that you hope she feels the same things you feel for her as she ║ ║ "does" your or, as your average girl would understand, as she has sex ║ ║ with you. My my my, on a first letter, this is NOT what you want to ║ ║ say! So next time, write something more to the effect of "I hope you ║ ║ feel the same way about me as I feel about you." Anyway, good luck, and ║ ║ remember, our thoughts are with you. Uh oh. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ A week has passed and here's Amy's reply! ║ ║ ║ ║ Dear Paul (Dark-Elf), ║ ║ ║ ║ I'm doing fine. I have to tell you I was quite surprised when I ║ ║ read you letter. Thank you for being so completely honest with me. It ║ ║ makes things much easier; so I owe it to you to be completely honest. I ║ ║ don't really have a commitment with farmer Michael. The way we left ║ ║ things it was unsaid. I don't have a boyfriend right now. Paul, I like ║ ║ you a lot as a friend. I know you hate hearing that. I think you're ║ ║ funny, sweet, and cute, but not just that way. I would, however, like ║ ║ to hang out with you sometime. Going to the movies would be fun. I'm ║ ║ not saying yes because I can't say no and I'm giving you the answer that ║ ║ is in my heart. I think it is equally hard being a teenage girl. I do ║ ║ love the way you write letters. You are very funny (in a good way). I ║ ║ really had no idea you felt that way. Please write me back and tell me ║ ║ your feelings on all of this. ║ ║ ║ ║ Love, ║ ║ Amy ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dark-Elf.. my my my!! Well what can I say? You've expected the ║ ║ unexpected and it happened! So she's not in love with you but she wants ║ ║ to go out. Now do you have the balls to ask her?! Hey, that's a better ║ ║ reply than what Rebel Chicken got when he wrote Emily! ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ■▄▄█ ▄▄░▄▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▄▄█▀░█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ■▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ██▌ ▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀█▀▌r c n ▄█▄█ ▐▄▌▌ ▄█▄█ ▐█▌▌ ███ ▐█▌▌ ▄ ███ ▐▐▌ ██▌ ░▀ ▐█▌▌ ███ ▐█▌▌░░▐██ ░ ░▐▐▌▌░▐██▀▀ ░▐▐▌▌░░░░ ░ ██▌░░ ░▐▌█ ░░░ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▐██ ░ ░▐▐▌▌░░ ▐██ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄██ ▐█▌ ▄█▀ ▀ ▐▌▌ █▀░▄ ▐▌▌ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▐▀█▌ ▄██▀▄█▀ ▀ ▐▐█ ▐▄█▄▐▌▌ ▐▄▄▐▀█▌ ▄██▀ ▐▀█▌ ▀░ ▀ ▀░ ▀ ▐▌▌ ▄█▄▌ ▀░ ▀▀█▄ ▄██▄▌▀ ▀ ▀░ m a d r c n ! ▀▀█▄ ▄██▄█ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ For those of you who are physically unable to beat the RCN game ║ ║ found in past issues of RCN, you can have the passwords here for FREE. ║ ║ There's no need to go out of your way to crack RCN, here are the ║ ║ passwords for issues 14 to 19.
