▀▀▀░██▌▀░ ▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : The RCN Editor Staff ║ ║ Subject : Introduction ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Welcome to Reality Check Network, your #1 Warez E-mag! And so we'd ║ ║ like to stay! Currently, we have just finished wiping out the ║ ║ competition, apparently it just couldn't compete with us. However, this ║ ║ extra burst of confidence seems to be our worst enemy thus far. We ║ ║ noticed this after the release of Issue #21. The editors, and some of ║ ║ the readers, noticed that the ways of RCN needed to be fixed and ║ ║ upgraded. In retrospect to earlier issues, RCN was still getting ║ ║ bigger, but size isn't everything when it comes to an e-mag. It was ║ ║ becoming obvious that we were sacrificing quality for a bigger magazine. ║ ║ Furthermore, the ethics of RCN also needed ramification, as inspired by ║ ║ Rio & Ken's letter, and those of several other people. ║ ║ ║ ║ In trying to keep RCN's position as the #1 warez e-mag, the editors ║ ║ have agreed upon several modifications that we think will please you, ║ ║ the readers, today and in the future. We believe that the set of pacts ║ ║ we have agreed to will create a more harmonious relationship between RCN ║ ║ and its readers, and make reading RCN a more enjoyable embarkment. A ║ ║ major difference that you will notice between this issue of RCN and ║ ║ previous issues is that we no longer strive for 8 articles, and 8 ║ ║ interviews. We all know that reading repeated interviews was getting ║ ║ boring, and we all know that articles about mere fluff were never ║ ║ interesting. Obviously a person that doesn't read anything because he ║ ║ hates to do so will never enjoy RCN, but people that do enjoy reading ║ ║ were starting to get frustrated with the layout of the above sections. ║ ║ So now, we will have a fluctuating number of articles and interviews, ║ ║ with much greater scrutiny based on quality. RCN's old philosophy was ║ ║ based on giving everybody a voice, but if a person is educated enough to ║ ║ form an opinion on any given topic, he should be educated enough to ║ ║ write a well structured article to support his case. ║ ║ ║ ║ You will also find a new ADDITION to RCN in this issue. I am ║ ║ speaking of the "Cover Story" menu! In previous issues, we have ║ ║ included the cover story within either the articles or interviews menu. ║ ║ Now, we will be spending a much greater amount of time on researching ║ ║ and studying the week's cover story. A cover story deserves more than ║ ║ just an article or an interview, it deserves a complete assessment and ║ ║ review, something that RCN will now be able to offer. This week's cover ║ ║ story is about the United Cracking Force, and you will find that the ║ ║ menu contains over 3 times as much information as previous issues of RCN ║ ║ did. ║ ║ ║ ║ Another issue that readers were beginning to complain about in past ║ ║ issues is that of RCN putting people down, and constantly "dissing" on ║ ║ people in the scene. It was becoming like a "soap opera," as some would ║ ║ phrase it. Though I find that as somewhat humorous, I don't find it the ║ ║ least bit necessary, and this attitude will be done away with now and in ║ ║ the future. If a person messes up and does something that's not very ║ ║ respectable in the scene, we will just stop reporting things that may ║ ║ concern that person. The lack of publicity will be punishment enough. ║ ║ If a group messes up, it will only be covered if we feel that publicity ║ ║ and information about the group could raise its potential to survive. ║ ║ If a problem is more serious than that, it will not be RCN's position to ║ ║ correct it, but rather the scene's as a whole. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now for meeting logs. We were the first to use them, and they have ║ ║ done a most amazing job of showing us who people REALLY are behind ║ ║ "closed doors." But enough of them now. I will use GODS as an example ║ ║ because it is a group that has since split up and probably won't mind a ║ ║ bit of publication about them. RCN obtained the first meeting log of ║ ║ GODS when it was initially grouping. This is something I would say is ║ ║ NOT our position to publish. It solely contained information about the ║ ║ organization of the group, something that they are quite entitled to do. ║ ║ However, the latter meeting log about GODS would be something I think we ║ ║ should have the right to publish, for one important reason. The latter ║ ║ log effected people beyond just GODS members. It contained information ║ ║ that could hinder the rest of the scene, and that's not right. So that ║ ║ was something that people did deserve to see. From now on, no meeting ║ ║ logs will be published, even if they are just two people cussing each ║ ║ other out, if they don't contain data that could severely hinder the ║ ║ scene and outside members. ║ ║ ║ ║ For example, and note that this is purely hypothetical, I have utter ║ ║ respect for the groups I am about to name. Let's say Hybrid had a ║ ║ meeting about how they were really pissed off about the Dynamix ║ ║ incident. That would NOT be something that RCN could publish. Hybrid ║ ║ is quite entitled to talk amongst themselves. However, if Hybrid were ║ ║ talking about how Razor is really pissing them off and how they're about ║ ║ to start a masterful plan to grab all the Razor suppliers, and let's say ║ ║ that Razor didn't know about this, now THAT would be something RCN ║ ║ should publish. The distinction? Hybrid would be crossing over the ║ ║ "Hybrid" boundary and stepping over the feet of others. ║ ║ ║ ║ I would like to make an important clarification and apology to ║ ║ several people/groups that deserved it a long time ago. I would like to ║ ║ apologize to the readers of RCN that have been in disagreement with us ║ ║ in past times. However, I use this as an example to you that we DO read ║ ║ your mail and ARE interested in what you have to say. Rio & Ken sent us ║ ║ clear mail that explained his position with examples, and he was right, ║ ║ and we were wrong, and now we're fixing our mistakes. You can't expect ║ ║ us to change, however, if you never send us any comments. ║ ║ ║ ║ Lastly, I would like to make an apology to Prestige and The Renegade ║ ║ Chemist together. Though the news is rather old, it is news that makes ║ ║ a difference today, and makes a difference in the reputation of TRC, and ║ ║ it deserves to be said. A while back, RCN published information ║ ║ regarding TRC and Dynamix, and his departure from Dynamix into Prestige. ║ ║ However, we never really gave TRC a chance to explain his side of the ║ ║ story by himself. Since then, Prestige has placed a boycott on RCN, ║ ║ viewable on their WWW page, which stated that they would not be granting ║ ║ RCN any interviews. Since their boycott, RCN DID get two interviews ║ ║ with Prestige leaders, but despite that, we still want to clear our ║ ║ grounds with Prestige as a whole. So, I apologize to TRC for not giving ║ ║ him the opportunity to fully express himself in the matters at hand, he ║ ║ is a great help to the scene, he is an agressive person, but that's not ║ ║ a negative thing in the scene. Furthermore, I would like to extend that ║ ║ apology to Prestige all together, and as a result, I have published ║ ║ TRC's side of the matter in the articles menu. ║ ║ ║ ║ Again, you can always find Reality Check Network available on the ║ ║ WWW at HTTP://WWW.RCN.ORG/INDEX.HTML, as well as find some of our ║ ║ previous competition (though, unfortunately, none exists at the moment) ║ ║ and perhaps compare and contrast. And as a final note, a little word ║ ║ about etiquette, purposefully placed at the END of the introduction. I ║ ║ don't mind if you don't want to read an entire article or interview, and ║ ║ decide you've had enough in the middle, but if you're going to contact ║ ║ us with a complaint, make sure you HAVE read the entire text before ║ ║ doing so. It doesn't look too impressive when you complain about ║ ║ something and our response to your complaint was in the body of the text ║ ║ all the while, but you were too lazy to find it. ║ ║ ║ ║ As always, thanks for reading RCN, and don't hesitate to contact us! ║ ║ You can either join channel #RCN on the EFnet IRC network, or email us ║ ║ at an385786@anon.penet.fi. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐███▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░██▄ ░██ ▀▀▀ ▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌▄███ ▐██▌ ▀███ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ ███ ██▌ ▄█░▀ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▐██▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ███ ░▐████ ░▐██▐██▌ ░░ ░▐██▌░▐████▐██▀▀ ░▐██▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ █████ ▐██▌▀██▄ ▄░█▀ █████ ██▌ ██░▄ ▀██▄███▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ███▐░████▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄████▌▀▀▀███▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ Basically, everyone knows that RCN rules so I'm not going to even ║ ║ say it. Alright, fine then, OK!, I will say it, RCN RULES! (Be a bitch ║ ║ about it why don't you.) Anyway, this letter is to comment on the way I ║ ║ feel about THE scene, and to react to what people say about it. ║ ║ ║ ║ Firstly, I want to talk about the couriers of the world. Quite a ║ ║ few years ago, when 14.4 modems were top of the line, BBS traders were ║ ║ judged on the quality of warez that they spread, not HOW MUCH they ║ ║ spread. Now, with the introduction of the Internet SCENE a great ║ ║ courier is someone that can move over a gig, or so, a week between a few ║ ║ places. That's all honky dory, but if it's something to help you learn ║ ║ your A-B-C's, or something that doesn't install correctly, I honestly ║ ║ DOUBT that it is useful to anyone in 'the scene.' ║ ║ ║ ║ A great courier is someone who has tested the warez which they are ║ ║ spreading, know that they are quality, and starts the batch. I know for ║ ║ Internet couriers this is extremely hard since they hardly ever download ║ ║ the program themselves, but for BBS traders it only takes a quick 10 ║ ║ minutes to see if it works before they pass it along. Anyone, namely 10 ║ ║ year old little pricks, can go to bed and leave their computers on, ║ ║ uploading all night... THAT takes no talent, and deserves NO respect. ║ ║ You people might not realize this, but groups NEED their couriers. They ║ ║ need quality people to spread their lovely working game or util. Now ║ ║ think about it this way. ║ ║ ║ ║ Wouldn't a group LOVE to hire someone that they knew tested shit ║ ║ before they spread it. This would ENSURE the group not getting ║ ║ embarassed if they happen to fuck up a release. Also, if something ║ ║ doesn't work people complaining, saying that the groups 'SUCKS', and ║ ║ give them all the blame. Well, my friends, that's BULLSHIT! The people ║ ║ who spread bad shit are as much at fault as the ones who packaged it. ║ ║ The attitude of most traders right now is....... "Hmm... I should really ║ ║ see if this works before I spend 14 hours uploading it... but what the ║ ║ hell! I wanna download that cool program so fuck it." To all of you ║ ║ who think/do that... I hope that the program you download was uploaded ║ ║ by a prick like you. ║ ║ ║ ║ Secondly, although I can bullshit about the scene and its problems ║ ║ for hours upon hours I would just like to touch on one more major issue. ║ ║ In one of the previous magazines (I forgot which one) someone commented ║ ║ on the BBS scene deteriorating while the Internet scene thrives. In ║ ║ most respects that's true. BUT... look at it this way, a long time ago ║ ║ when someone wanted respect in 'the scene' they either were a GREAT ║ ║ coder, courier or sysop of a popular board. So every little dumbfuck ║ ║ would pick the one they thought was the best. In this case I'll use the ║ ║ BBS. They would beg their parents for a phone line, put up a BBS, and ║ ║ hope it would thrive. Sucking up to the right people, while getting ║ ║ help in the process, would sometimes make it prosper, in turn making ║ ║ them popular. Now, ok, I know I'm exagerating, but it gets better. ║ ║ With the Internet here, groups are practically BEGGING for Internet ║ ║ couriers, so these little losers put down their boards and go to a life ║ ║ of Internet trading, usually changing their already stupid handle to ║ ║ something stupidier in the process. This, in my view, can only make the ║ ║ BBS scene STRONGER. Sure it'll mean there are fewer BBSes around, ║ ║ but...it also is a method of 'trimming the fat'.. getting rid of the ║ ║ people who are too weak or disloyal to stay in, and making the remaining ║ ║ BBSers/BBSes the 'TRUE ELiTE!'. Phew, glad I got that off my chest. ║ ║ ║ ║ Last, I know I'm blabbering on, but hey.. you can always hit ESC. ║ ║ Anyway, in another issue someone said that RCN magazine is making it ║ ║ unsafe for the scene. That is just stupid and moronic. RCN is the ║ ║ collection of articles of people who are on IRC and bullshit like that. ║ ║ This means that basically RCN is a colorful snapspot of a night on IRC. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ The Insane Sicilian ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ The Insane Sicilian, ║ ║ ║ ║ Ooh, a colorful snapshot!

There are other servers ║ ║ which don't patrol for link lookers that I am sure he may happily use if ║ ║ he insists on having his link looker. I don't particularly care, but ║ ║ I'm not changing my policiess for him or anybody. ║ ║ ║ ║ Secondly, I haven't been on IRC for 15 years, since there hasn't ║ ║ BEEN IRC for 15 years. I do not 'own' kern.com, nor have I poured a ║ ║ dime into it; they pay *me* to do what I do. I am sorry if the user in ║ ║ question doesn't agree with my policies here, but that's just the way it ║ ║ is, I suppose. I don't think posting a bunch of blatantly false ║ ║ information is liable to make him look any more 'right.' I wonder if he ║ ║ has any knowledge whatsoever about the people's whose servers and ║ ║ services he so happily abuses. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Nick Leyendecker ║ ║ Network Administrator ║ ║ Kern Internet Services ║ ║ jnl@kern.com ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Prae (Nick Leyendecker), ║ ║ ║ ║ You need to rethink your position in IRC.

I honestly don't know what leads to your immature ║ ║ actions on IRC, perhaps it is an ego problem, perhaps you haven't enough ║ ║ outside resources to please you, it's not my place to judge, but in all ║ ║ seriousness, you need a psychiatrist to help you sort through the ║ ║ complications of your life. ║ ║ ║ ║ You need to take yourself more seriously and subsequently take more ║ ║ responsibility for your actions, one cannot exist without the other, yet ║ ║ the two coexist wonderfully.

I'm sure you will tell me that you're not an ALL bad IRC op and ║ ║ that you have helped a lot of people on IRC, but one bad apple ruins the ║ ║ rest. I don't doubt that there is a great human being behind that ║ ║ facade, but you need to realize that for yourself.

I decided, ║ ║ why not write another letter? Anyways, this week's letter on IRC ops is ║ ║ about why they piss me off, and the other shit about them. First off, ║ ║ I'm pissed that they all have their own domains : ║ ║ ║ ║ irc.stealth.net oper : residue@flakey.donut.residue.com ║ ║ irc.mo.net oper : mouse@whiskers.com ║ ║ irc.epix.net oper : dianora@diana.incacc.net ║ ║ ║ ║ Another thing I don't like, is the trouble trying to find an ALIVE ║ ║ oper in times of trouble. Now, they made channel #Twilight_Zone +i ║ ║ which pisses me off. They are hiding from us now, they don't want to ║ ║ answer our questions or problems 90% of the time. The best channel now ║ ║ is #Unix, but you say the words "I need," "help" or something like that, ║ ║ it's an auto-kick-ban. ║ ║ ║ ║ EFNet is also getting too tight on bots. No multiple connections, ║ ║ bots, anything anymore. It is hard trying to keep a damn channel safe, ║ ║ even if you have 1 bot, it will get klined or flooded, and if you have ║ ║ 20, those get klined still. Anyways, someday we should all rebel, and ║ ║ make the big guys who run EFNet actually notice what is going on. :) ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Eraser ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Eraser, ║ ║ ║ ║ Please refer to the article by Road Rebel for further information. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Hitex/Rebel Chicken ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐███▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░██▄ ░██ ▀▀▀ ▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌▄███ ▐██▌ ▀███ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ ███ ██▌ ▄█░▀ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▐██▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ███ ░▐████ ░▐██▐██▌ ░░ ░▐██▌░▐████▐██▀▀ ░▐██▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ █████ ▐██▌▀██▄ ▄░█▀ █████ ██▌ ██░▄ ▀██▄███▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ███▐░████▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄████▌▀▀▀███▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ As an avid Internet courier myself, I know how succesful it can be. ║ ║ However, others disagree. IRC couriering is mostly couriering through ║ ║ DCC. People set up offer bots, place them in channels like #Exceed, ║ ║ #M8leech and #Phatfiles, have them display lists of stuff their ║ ║ offering, and people leech stuff. This is one of the most efficient ║ ║ ways of couriering and is also the easiest to measure success in. ║ ║ ║ ║ In BBS and FTP couriering, you can usually only see how much someone ║ ║ uploaded, you can't always see which files are the most popular, or how ║ ║ many people leeched them. With IRC couriering, your bot can tell you ║ ║ exactly how many megs have been leeched and how many times people have ║ ║ downloaded each file. This allows IRC couriers to see what files are ║ ║ the most popular and which to offer again. With FTP and BBS couriering, ║ ║ you could upload a gig of shit and you'd still get credit for uploading ║ ║ it, even if no one downloaded it. Another plus is the publicity the ║ ║ group gets. It's fairly simple to add a file at the end of an offer ║ ║ list containing an app or an nfo, and groups gain lots of notariety that ║ ║ way. ║ ║ ║ ║ The downsides to it are the complexity of getting things together. ║ ║ First, you have to find a shell with IRC, upload the stuff you want to ║ ║ offer, then get an XDCC offer script (fphoenix.irc is known as the best ║ ║ all-around and is the most popular), and then configure the offer list. ║ ║ Also, people who run them will sometimes get messages from people who ║ ║ are having problems. I once had someone who said, "I can't download ║ ║ this file because it keeps stopping and saying I'm not fast enough, but ║ ║ I have a 14.4 modem!" I politely explained the system of minimum speeds ║ ║ (which I never set porpously more than 1K/s, unlike the fATE couriers ║ ║ who have 3K/s as the minimum, jack asses), and said that he'd probably ║ ║ need atleast a 28.8 modem. ║ ║ ║ ║ He continued to bug me, and finally I sent him the file manually, ║ ║ just to get him to shut up. This is REALLY annoying after a while, but ║ ║ we IRC couriers have to put up with it. In addition, groups with IRC ║ ║ channels will often get dumbasses in their rooms saying, "How come this ║ ║ thing doesn't work on my 386?" OK, maybe that's a little extreme, but ║ ║ you get the picture. ║ ║ ║ ║ Personally I feel that the good outweighs the bad and that IRC ║ ║ couriering has a bright future. Just take a look at all the offer ║ ║ channels springing up and becoming popular. #Phatfiles was only ║ ║ recently founded, and it's already very popular and many IRC couriering ║ ║ groups support it. I feel that it would be extremely peneficial to ║ ║ couriering groups such as Everlast and RiSC to add IRC divisions to ║ ║ their groups. But if that doesn't happen, groups like PTA will continue ║ ║ to dominate the IRC couriering arena. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Ermac ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐███▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░██▄ ░██ ▀▀▀ ▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌▄███ ▐██▌ ▀███ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ ███ ██▌ ▄█░▀ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▐██▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ███ ░▐████ ░▐██▐██▌ ░░ ░▐██▌░▐████▐██▀▀ ░▐██▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ █████ ▐██▌▀██▄ ▄░█▀ █████ ██▌ ██░▄ ▀██▄███▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ███▐░████▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄████▌▀▀▀███▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ I write this letter with a great madness to what can only be termed ║ ║ lamerz.

The most hated thing in a release group with the only ║ ║ exception possibly being a non-working release. In the past, dupes have ║ ║ been taken care of in medieval style fashion by getting axed. After a ║ ║ succession of dupes, a group's entire label might get nuked {ie. ║ ║ BLD*.zip for a group with the acronym BLD}. This possibly group ║ ║ threatening reputation is not looked upon well by groups, and is feared ║ ║ to the point of insanity. So, my question is, what should be done about ║ ║ dupes? Let's take a look at my plan if you will. ║ ║ ║ ║ Many dupes are done due to the limit of BBS couriering. For ║ ║ instance, a local group releases a game (way over the 50 disk limit) in ║ ║ Australia. This release does not travel well outside Australia, only ║ ║ gets to Russia, and stops there. Another group, later that month, ║ ║ releases the same game after dupe checking extensively throughout its ║ ║ sites, RCN listings, and BBSes, and finds that the game was not ║ ║ released. After a few days, this release (under the 50 disk limit) is ║ ║ spread all the way across the world and eventually reaches the point of ║ ║ where the local group released it. During this process of the release ║ ║ crossing over to the other territory, the dupe is noticed, and ║ ║ eventually word gets around that the group that released it under the ║ ║ limit duped the release. This scenario has happened many a time, and is ║ ║ just not possible to outwit 100% of the time. In my opinion, a group ║ ║ should not be denounced for a dupe that was not effectively spread by ║ ║ the original group. Also, a group should not be denounced for duping a ║ ║ release that was not released under the 50 disk limit. If I'm a ║ ║ supplier for a worldwide group, and I am based in the United States, how ║ ║ am I supposed to find out about some release that was released in ║ ║ Australia by a no-name group? ║ ║ ║ ║ Here is my proposition, any game that goes over the 50 disk limit ║ ║ (actual game) should not be counted as an actual release. Also, if a ║ ║ group releases addons to that game, and they go over 100 disks, then the ║ ║ addons should not be counted. If a release group re-releases these ║ ║ games/addons under the limit, then they are in no violation of the ║ ║ rules. In order to limit the number of dupes on viable games, all games ║ ║ must hit a certain Internet Site, and BBS that is widely known in the ║ ║ scene to everyone. If it is not uploaded there by the time the other ║ ║ group releases the game, then it is not considered a viable release, and ║ ║ the other group may release it. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Genocide ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐███▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░██▄ ░██ ▀▀▀ ▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌▄███ ▐██▌ ▀███ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ ███ ██▌ ▄█░▀ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▐██▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ███ ░▐████ ░▐██▐██▌ ░░ ░▐██▌░▐████▐██▀▀ ░▐██▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ █████ ▐██▌▀██▄ ▄░█▀ █████ ██▌ ██░▄ ▀██▄███▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ███▐░████▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄████▌▀▀▀███▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ I write again about the Astrology section, all I am going to say is ║ ║ THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!

After ║ ║ joining a few channels, and being involved in the underground scene for ║ ║ 10 years, I have seen some good groups come and go. ║ ║ ║ ║ You see the BBS scene vs. the Internet scene is totally different, ║ ║ in the BBS scene, you don't see people blasting the groups that courier ║ ║ to the boards there. If fact, most people praise the courier's work in ║ ║ uploading a few hundred megs of files to a board. No one ever said fuck ║ ║ this group, this group sucks because they bite off of this group. ║ ║ ║ ║ However, in the Internet scene thats all I see now in most of these ║ ║ channels. If its ragging on ROR for duplication of Quake Beta 3 Full ║ ║ Release, and stripping the beta logo out, or if its for Hybrid releasing ║ ║ a game with a few fixes that have to come later (Warcraft 2). Better ║ ║ yet it's the newer groups that are trying to come up in the scene. It's ║ ║ really sad how a lot of people blast groups. To those people I am ║ ║ writing this article. ║ ║ ║ ║ Here is a nice little lesson you need to know, and maybe you'll ║ ║ think twice before opening your fucking mouth to say groups suck. You ║ ║ should all respect each and every group that comes out in the scene. ║ ║ They are there to help us all excel in the scene. Passing and getting ║ ║ software to all those people who want it. If there wasn't such a demand ║ ║ for this software these groups "ALL" would die. Just think if groups ║ ║ like THG (The Humble Guys) and Razor 1911 never got going, they were a ║ ║ good inspiration for most of the other groups to grow up and be like ║ ║ them. ║ ║ ║ ║ You see we all are in the same boat, we all use the software, we all ║ ║ trade the software. The next time you say anything about a group ║ ║ sucking, remember what they are doing to help us out. They are risking ║ ║ a lot when they trade that software. They ALL help us in the end no ║ ║ matter what they release or crack, whether its a duplicate or its a few ║ ║ fixes for a game or util that doesn't work. ║ ║ ║ ║ Be cool, and keep the peace.

I don't enjoy downloading 50 disks ║ ║ for a game that doesn't work, and nobody else should have to go through ║ ║ crap like that also. Groups such as THG and Razor 1911 release WORKING ║ ║ REAL files (at least most of the time), and if younger groups want to ║ ║ follow in their foot steps, they need to learn how to release WORKING ║ ║ REAL files, and not 50 disks of bullshit. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Hitex/Rebel Chicken ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ This article or opinion column is something that me and a few others ║ ║ have started to notice. I am the IRC Coordinator of Asylum 96 which is ║ ║ a releasing group which is officially couriered by NvC. I am also a ║ ║ courier of AOD. I have seen two very different styles of couriering. ║ ║ ║ ║ NvC, New Vision Couiers, has about 3 private sites that they get ║ ║ their warez to. Then what they do is get dumps. For all of you who ║ ║ don't know what a dump is, it is a anonymous site where people upload ║ ║ lots of warez. When the site is full, it is released to the public so ║ ║ that they may all have access to it and download a much as they want. ║ ║ ║ ║ AOD, Angels of Death, on the other hand has about 7or 8 private ║ ║ sites. Many of these sites even have ratios on them. But it is a very ║ ║ closed circle. The warez come into the circle but they don't come out. ║ ║ People courier to the sites just in the circle and nothing is going out ║ ║ to those bottom of the ground leechers. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now when u look in #Exceed or #M8leech or #Phatfiles, you see ║ ║ offerers. Well these offerers are the main way of getting warez out to ║ ║ the general public. I see offer bots there 24 hours a day, 7 days a ║ ║ week, so people can get the latest is 0 day. I know that NvC has lots ║ ║ of offer bots run by one man, |ACiD|, who has about 5 gigs leeched every ║ ║ day. Nobody knows him but a few. AOD does not support their offerers ║ ║ very much. Groups have really scaled back on the offerers. Groups have ║ ║ about 1 or 2 dedicated offerers and that is it. The whole public gets ║ ║ to know the group through releases, sites, or offerers. ║ ║ ║ ║ The average Joe never see the big 2 gig t3, 0 hour private site, but ║ ║ does this mean he can't have access to the latest in warez? I dont ║ ║ think so. 0 day warez are usually found from offerers. They aren't ║ ║ usually found on anonymous sites or site lists. You can find the warez ║ ║ after about 1 week on a list or a site. Unless it is something big like ║ ║ Duke Nukem 3D. ║ ║ ║ ║ To the average Joe, IRC offerers are some of the best things. They ║ ║ give out warez for FREE! They don't expect a site in return, a shell, ║ ║ another game or util, or even a thank you. AOD has not supported their ║ ║ offerers well at all. We don't have a dedicated 0 hour non-ratio site ║ ║ for us to download and offer from. I have to wait until someone finally ║ ║ uploads it to a non-ratio site to download it and offer it. I know I ║ ║ try to do my share of uploading but I never get there in time to upload ║ ║ stuff before the super courier does. ║ ║ ║ ║ In conclusion, I would like to say that groups should do whatever it ║ ║ takes to have fun. Second, I would like to groups to be more public and ║ ║ open, this can be do with offerers or dump sites. People will know you ║ ║ if you give them what they want. Take their requests into ║ ║ consideration. I would also like to say that the scene is very ║ ║ cluttered right now.

Their behavior is similar to lemmings they throw themselves ║ ║ at non-lamers trying to flood or kick them only to be destroyed and a ║ ║ creative story made to IRCops to get them K-lined. With their sheer ║ ║ numbers many have now begun to get firm foot holds in many channels and ║ ║ they become harder to recconize for what they are. Below is a list of ║ ║ the most common types of lamers and how to handle them. ║ ║ ║ ║ Ijustsawhackerslamer - some new user who got a P120, Internet, and ║ ║ just rented "hackers." VERY annoying, will ramble on and on about what ║ ║ they can do or have done. Will often take a non-lamer's handle to seem ║ ║ cool and try to be that person. Best if killed immediately or can to ║ ║ usefully send to bother a competitive channel (or a random one if you ║ ║ like chaos). ║ ║ ║ ║ Stupidlamer - will be online asking "Whats a .exe file? Dos? I ║ ║ don't need that I have Windows 95. Mostly annoying but one with an ║ ║ attitude should be killed. If someone who gives a damn carfully helps ║ ║ them they might someday reach the level of non-lamer or become one of ║ ║ the other categories. ║ ║ ║ ║ Yeahrightlamer - Joins a channel and refuses to believe anyone but ║ ║ himself. They sit around listening to conversations and say something ║ ║ like Nonlamer: I just spent 5 days making a new menu for my BBS in C++. ║ ║ Lamer:"C++ thats so fucking easy to progam in I wrote a RPG game in it ║ ║ in 5 min you looser besides your too stupid I bet I could in an hour." ║ ║ Then you start to arought and the Yeahrightlamer get off on it. Use the ║ ║ same treatment as for the Ijustsawhackerslamer. ^^Especially fun to ║ ║ stick on another channel^^ ║ ║ ║ ║ Ownworldlamer - these are especially annoying lamers and should be ║ ║ killed outright and K-lined if a corrupt IRCop is handy (I know many). ║ ║ They will make their own reality terms like IP address will become ║ ║ internet perifial address. They are usually easy to spot, but kicking ║ ║ and banning usually dosn't help as they are loosers who sit on the ║ ║ compter all day typing /join #warez over and over until they get in. ║ ║ ║ ║ IdotSovont - not really a lamer. Person who can program patches and ║ ║ cracks in C++, Vbasic, ect. in 5min but can't understand concepts like ║ ║ dos or shit, wipe, flush. Don't be seen in public with him but make ║ ║ close connects to him on the Internet. May need help to keep from being ║ ║ taken advantage of.

They have very good couriers, ║ ║ good sites, etc. So we decided to merge into Legion. We dropped a ║ ║ couple couriers in Violence, and brought everyone else into Legion. ║ ║ ║ ║ From Violence, the staff positions were designated as follows. ║ ║ Manowar took the Council spot in Legion.

Omnipage pro is an OCR (Optical ║ ║ Character Recognition, or something like that) program useful if you ║ ║ have a scanner. It will help you scan, and, if scanning text pages, ║ ║ will convert the text into letters known by the computer as a font. ║ ║ This will make the document editable in a word processor. This is an ║ ║ awesome program, and I quickly jumped on the release to download it. I ║ ║ finished downloading it, ran setup, everything was looking good, until ║ ║ it got to the serial number. In Windows 95, I started another DOS ║ ║ prompt and opened up the MTY.NFO file. I looked for the serial number, ║ ║ entered it, and proud that it worked, continued on. Then I couldn't get ║ ║ it to recognize that I had disk1 in a "disk1" directory. Dumb program. ║ ║ I went back to the NFO file just to find that I had to put the thing on ║ ║ floppies to install it. Who ever has 5 floppies lying around any more? ║ ║ 5 ZIP disks maybe, but the last time I saw a floppy disk, I was a little ║ ║ boy! I was pissed off, so I cancelled everything and went online trying ║ ║ to find some Mortality senior I could vent my anger out on. Mortality ║ ║ didn't even bother to crack their release. ║ ║ ║ ║ Unable to do so (maybe they were hiding!) I found a guy from UCF who ║ ║ told me that UCF had just released a crack to fix the release. My ║ ║ thoughts quickly shifted from cussing out Mortality to getting the ║ ║ program to work! I downloaded the crack, and surely enough, everything ║ ║ worked. In fact, I don't remember ever having downloaded a crack by UCF ║ ║ and having it not work. No UCF member ever came up to Mortality and ║ ║ yelled at them, no UCF member shouted at them for not doing something so ║ ║ simple as finding a cracker (UCF would have done it if asked), UCF ║ ║ quietly took the release and, without any fuss, released a crack just a ║ ║ little while later. ║ ║ ║ ║ UCF has always been one to chase after releases and fix others' ║ ║ fuckups, it has been done almost religiously, and never have I seen a ║ ║ member of UCF yell at any group for messing up. UCF takes requests with ║ ║ open arms, but that's like offering a drug addict free rehabilitation. ║ ║ Mortality's reason for releasing a half-working release wasn't because ║ ║ they couldn't find a cracker, it was because they wanted to be fast ║ ║ about it. ║ ║ ║ ║ UCF has done a wonderful job of cracking programs for the scene for ║ ║ 2 years now. They've seen many groups come and go, yet they have hung ║ ║ on, and quite well I might add. A few groups are blessed with having a ║ ║ few crackers from UCF as their own members, DOD quite blessed with ║ ║ having Misha as a member, and it's true, I haven't seen any uncracked ║ ║ DOD releases as long as I remember. ║ ║ ║ ║ So let's all congratulate one of the scene's truly finest groups, ║ ║ and give the United Cracking Force a big round of applause, a much ║ ║ deserved one after two years of consistent cracking, and there's no end ║ ║ in sight.

If you mention ║ ║ DjPaul, Lost Soul, Misha, or The Riddler, they all are in other ║ ║ groups too. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I know that managing a weekly electronic magazine such as RCN is ║ ║ very hard and that is why RCN is one of a kind, much the same way ║ ║ that there is only one dominant cracking group, UCF. I assume ║ ║ then that running a cracking group such as UCF must be very ║ ║ difficult, since there is only one cracking group that anyone has ║ ║ ever heard of, UCF. ║ ║ ║ ║ █UCF█: Running UCF wasn't that hard in the beginning. For 1 year, UCF ║ ║ consisted of only 2 members and even with only 5 crackers on ║ ║ board, it was easy. But right now, UCF has nearly 20 members, ║ ║ including couriers and traders. To tell the truth, it is a lot of ║ ║ work right now especially for me, because I have to coordinate a ║ ║ lot of things besides my own cracks, that take up a lot of my ║ ║ time. I cannot recommend to do it like I do it now. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I always see a lot of new courier and release groups popping up, ║ ║ but I rarely see new cracking groups pop up. Why is that so? ║ ║ ║ ║ █UCF█: I too see a lot of new groups popping up, not even in cracking but ║ ║ in games and utils too. But most of these groups come and go. ║ ║ UCF WILL STAY as long as I have energy, and I have a lot because I ║ ║ like this cracking. And I am sure, most of us like the challenge ║ ║ that cracking gives us. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How did you learn how to crack software? Did you just pick up a ║ ║ book that taught you how to crack? If so, what's the name of that ║ ║ book? I want to check out that book from my local public library, ║ ║ but then again, I do have this really big fine and I haven't ║ ║ really picked up a book in a long long time. Anyway, if it did ║ ║ take you something more than one book to learn how to crack, then ║ ║ could you describe your process in becoming a proficient cracker? ║ ║ ║ ║ █UCF█: In the beginning, I only read one assembler book, to get the ║ ║ opcodes of a program to crack. But after 2 years, I bought the ║ ║ second one, MS The Programmer's PC Sourcebook! This one was and ║ ║ is the most used book by me. Nothing than plain information is in ║ ║ it, no damn time wasting converstation. Other recommended books ║ ║ should be Win 95 and Visual C++ Stuff from Andrew Schulman and ║ ║ Matt Pietrek, I would not read anything else. Beside these books, ║ ║ you need NU-Mega Software such as WinIce and Soft-Ice. But in the ║ ║ end, your brain decides if you will become a good cracker or not. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Software companies have always put cheap cd-rom and instruction ║ ║ manual checks on their software as a prevention to piracy. How ║ ║ effective are the current protection methods? Obviously, their ║ ║ software protection has yet to be very good if UCF can just take ║ ║ software inside out and make it usable by the average Joe. Is ║ ║ there any type of software protection put out by software ║ ║ companies that UCF is unable to crack, a new protection of some ║ ║ sort that could be used to prevent piracy? ║ ║ ║ ║ █UCF█: That depends on the software protection, half of the protections ║ ║ can be cracked in less than 30 minutes. A third of the ║ ║ protections include cd-rom checks. Both games and utils are hard ║ ║ to crack in the beginning, but it's nice and easy in the second ║ ║ try. And that is the biggest problem, companies know a good ║ ║ protection is useless if it is only takes one time to crack it! ║ ║ But still, a tenth of all protections takes a lot of time to crack ║ ║ and maybe a tenth is deemed uncrackable. To name some releases, ║ ║ 3D-Studio for DOS, Auto CAD German, and Trade Station for Windows ║ ║ always took a lot of work to crack because they had very good ║ ║ protections. Some programs such as DIA/DAGO are still uncracked ║ ║ even today. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: There are a lot of release groups out there that release software ║ ║ without cracking it. Does UCF go out of its way to help correct ║ ║ these misfit releases and release groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ █UCF█: Sure we do, every time we install a program that we need in some ║ ║ way, and recognize it is uncracked, we try to crack it and release ║ ║ the crack a few days after the original program was released. We ║ ║ do this a lot of times. Recently, Bounds-Checker v3.0 for Win 95 ║ ║ was released by X-Force and cracked a few days later by UCF. We ║ ║ keep our eyes open and personally, I think we help the whole scene ║ ║ if we fix other groups' misfits. Hopefully, I only remember a few ║ ║ uncracked AND important programs. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: As the President of UCF, what is your opinion of the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ █UCF█: The pirate scene is really the best we could ever had. Why? We ║ ║ all help the hardware and software industry just because we exist. ║ ║ Without the scene, not even I would have bought a computer, ║ ║ because I would have to buy all the expensive software with it. ║ ║ Are we all rich? No. Software companies would sell nothing if ║ ║ nobody had a computer. Even a lot of people that use a pirated ║ ║ programs at the age of 17 consider to buy the same software at the ║ ║ age of 22 for business whether they can get it cracked or not, we ║ ║ need them all. I had and have a lot of nice time in the scene, ║ ║ and especially because I gathered a lot of real good friends in ║ ║ UCF. I will not miss a single person and I will never miss the ║ ║ scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Misha ║ ║ Subject : The Elvis of Cracking Affiliation : UCF Cracker ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Many people consider you one of the best crackers in the scene. ║ ║ You've cracked games that were deemed uncrackable by other ║ ║ crackers. Do you feel that your reputation is warranted? ║ ║ ║ ║ █MSH█: It probably is if the majority thinks that way. To make it a ║ ║ little more clear, I'd have to consider both groups that judge me ║ ║ a little differently. The two groups are crackers and general ║ ║ population which is consisted of non-crackers, people who don't ║ ║ really know what goes on behind the actual cracking process or at ║ ║ what level it's done. The general public sees the results, and so ║ ║ far, my cracks have worked well for many people. Also, I used to ║ ║ write trainers for games, which also probably raised my reputation ║ ║ a little for their sometimes non-standard features, I made these ║ ║ characters fly for example, which were not part of the original ║ ║ game. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Do you believe that you are also respected among other crackers? ║ ║ ║ ║ █MSH█: I believe I'm also respected among crackers, this is what matters ║ ║ most because only crackers can appreciate the actual work, and ║ ║ have a certain reputation in that community. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: In your days as a cracker, even though you have had much success, ║ ║ which games or utils have you not been able to crack? Of those ║ ║ games and utils that you have not been able to crack, what kind of ║ ║ protection was implemented? If you are not able to crack such ║ ║ protection, do companies start using such protection more often? ║ ║ ║ ║ █MSH█: First of all, my cracking skills didn't stay the same all the ║ ║ time. There's always room for learning and experience is a very ║ ║ important part of becoming better. Hardware dongles would be ║ ║ considered one of the hard categories because the dongle device ║ ║ may contain information needed to run the program and most of the ║ ║ time, the cracker doesn't have access to the device itself. ║ ║ Script-based programs are usually considered hard to work with, ║ ║ things like Visual Basic for example. Also there are several ║ ║ programs that attempt to stop people from tracing and cracking ║ ║ them by jamming debuggers, tools used to do most of the cracking, ║ ║ but those are very hard to write and maintain. I still have a few ║ ║ programs on my list which I wasn't able to crack because of lack ║ ║ of experience and knowledge, most from the beginning of my ║ ║ cracking career, all I needed for those is some time. And things ║ ║ like dongles are normally impossible to fully fix without the ║ ║ dongle. I try to stay away from those types of programs. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Which groups are you affiliated with besides UCF? ║ ║ ║ ║ █MSH█: At this time, it's mainly UCF and probably DOD only, but I take ║ ║ requests from basically any group big or small so you may see me ║ ║ as a cracker in some nfos although I'm not officially in any other ║ ║ groups besides those 2. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What's the difference between a good cracker and a good coder? ║ ║ Are good crackers also good coders? And are good crackers also ║ ║ good coders? ║ ║ ║ ║ █MSH█: It's interesting and although I don't immediately see the ║ ║ connection, but in my experience good crackers can code well at ║ ║ least in assembly, and frequently in other langagues. It's ║ ║ different for coders I guess. Since some assembly knowledge is ║ ║ required to crack, high-level-only coders can't crack and even ║ ║ demo-coders who code in assembly a lot may not have the ║ ║ experience. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Your cracking skills are well known, but are you also skillful in ║ ║ coding? We can't all be good at everything, so don't feel ║ ║ embarrassed if you're not good at coding. ║ ║ ║ ║ █MSH█: Actually, I'm pretty decent at coding. I have coded some ║ ║ cracking-related programs such as keymakers, EXE file ║ ║ decompressors, tools, other programs for DOS and Windows, mostly ║ ║ low-level C stuff, and even attempted to write simple intros/demos ║ ║ in the past. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒┌═══════════════════════════════════════════┐▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒┌════┐▒▒▒▒│ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │░░▒▒┌════┐▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒│1 │░░▒▒│ ███ ███ ███ ███▄▄▄ │░░▒▒│1 │░░▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒│ 9 │░░▒▒│ ███▄ ███ ███▄ ███ │░░▒▒│ 9 │░░▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒│ 9 │░░▒▒│ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ │░░▒▒│ 9 │░░▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒│ 4│░░▒▒│ ───────────────────────────────────────── │░░▒▒│ 6│░░▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒└════┘░░▒▒│ u N I T E D c R Æ C K I N G f O R C E │░░▒▒└════┘░░▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░▒▒└═══════════════════════════════════════════┘░░▒▒▒▒░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒┌════════════════════════════════┐▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒┌══════════════════┤ mORE tHAN 250 rELEASES iN 1996 ├═════════════════┐▒▒▒▒ ▒▒▒│ └════════════════════════════════┘ │░░▒▒ ▒▒▒│ PKP51UCF.ZIP 82294 04-04-94 Pkpress 5.1 *REGISTERED* │░░▒▒ ▒▒▒│ Q31NRUCF.ZIP 11683 04-19-94 QPEG 1.3N & FUTURE *REGISTERED* │░░▒▒ ▒▒▒│ ARJB2UCF.ZIP 30695 04-22-94 BRKARJ *35%-speedfix II* │░░▒▒ ▒▒▒│ CO176UCF.ZIP 136247 04-25-94 COPYUTILITY PRO 1.76 *RELEASE* │░░▒▒ ▒▒▒│ SCAN2UCF.ZIP 21517 04-27-94 SCANSTAC v2.0 *pw-scanner* │░░▒▒ ▒▒▒│ VESA6UCF.ZIP 14702 05-11-94 VESAVIEW 6.2 *ReGiSTeReD* │░░▒▒ ▒▒▒│ UNPR-UCF.ZIP 42790 05-18-94 UN-PROTECT EXE 4.X & 5.0 100% │░░▒▒ ▒▒▒│ UNPR4UCF.ZIP 36094 05-19-94 UN-PROTECT!

Do you ║ ║ believe that is true? If not, why not? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RLX█: Well, ROR and Reflux ARE very much alike, but when we started ║ ║ Reflux we brought in many new people, including a few suppliers ║ ║ and seniors. We were also given a chance to start over by ║ ║ dropping the ROR name. So in most cases the ban on ROR releases ║ ║ shouldn't carry over to becoming a ban on Reflux releases. People ║ ║ who didn't like ROR probably felt that way because of members of ║ ║ the group, and will continue to feel that. I know Tklp and myself ║ ║ have made a few enemies, so that affected some of the feelings ║ ║ toward ROR. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: ROR files were banned on major boards because Tklp faked the now ║ ║ infamous Quake Final. Tklp said that it was the final version of ║ ║ Quake even though Jay Wilbur, and other employees of iD Software ║ ║ would vouch for the fact that it was only the beta version hex ║ ║ edited to say that it was the final version. Piston, a former ║ ║ senior of ROR also believes that Tklp released a fake Quake Final ║ ║ in an attempt to make ROR look good. Little did Tklp realize that ║ ║ his choice in releasing a fake Quake Final would lead to so much ║ ║ hatred toward ROR. Tklp is the leader of ROR, and he is now the ║ ║ leader of Reflux. In the eyes of the many, Reflux is still the ║ ║ same group led by Tklp. What has Tklp done to warrant a second ║ ║ chance? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RLX█: Tklp is a great a leader, I have stood behind him since the day ║ ║ ROR started and everyone criticized him for being young, saying he ║ ║ was to young an immature to run a stable group. In my opinion, he ║ ║ isn't on a second chance, everyone makes mistakes, the release of ║ ║ the fake Quake Final was one of his. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Why won't he do it again? He chose to do it once, he'll do it ║ ║ again. If he does deserve a second chance, then he better put out ║ ║ an official apology for faking the Quake Final. If he doesn't, ║ ║ not very many people will take the new ROR, Reflux, as a serious ║ ║ group. If Tklp could go out of his way to fake the Quake release, ║ ║ what will stop him from doing it again on another game? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RLX█: I think that he learned his lesson the first time. He knows the ║ ║ effect it had, and I doubt he would make the mistake again. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Yes, he learned his lesson because he was caught. He'll be back ║ ║ again. He's been raided by the U.S. Marshalls and he still runs a ║ ║ pirate group, the guy's a fucking energizer bunny pirate. I don't ║ ║ think he can really learn his lesson. Moving on, I saw that ║ ║ Reflux had its first release a few days ago, was this release done ║ ║ by one of Reflux's new suppliers that were not a part of the ║ ║ original ROR? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RLX█: Yes, Private Eye was supplied by Junior Mafia, a new supplier to ║ ║ Reflux. Premiere, another release group, released a totally ║ ║ unworking copy of Private Eye. We decided to take the oppurtunity ║ ║ to release a working copy and the sound addon. We have always had ║ ║ strong releasing power, and will continue to. With the new ║ ║ additions, Reflux will be a powerful force in the scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I'm sure that Reflux will have a good future as a release group, ║ ║ after all, ROR did have some amazing releases, and I'm sure that ║ ║ Reflux will be able to amaze the scene in much the same way. Have ║ ║ there been any problems that have come about as result of ROR ║ ║ changing its name to Reflux? I do see that a few ROR seniors were ║ ║ dropped during the transition. Did any of them pose a problem for ║ ║ Reflux? And why were these ROR seniors cut from Reflux? Were ║ ║ they part of the problem why ROR could not keep up a good ║ ║ reputation? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RLX█: Well, there were no ROR seniors cut from Reflux. Piston was a ║ ║ former ROR senior that left us a while back. Piston doesn't ║ ║ understand the meaning of loyalty. The other ROR senior, god, ║ ║ left the scene to devote more time to his business. The rest of ║ ║ the ROR seniors are current Reflux seniors, with the addition of ║ ║ Angel of Death and Lucid. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I'm sure that the scene will give Reflux a second chance, let's ║ ║ just hope that Tklp doesn't fuck up again this time. But I do ║ ║ sincerely believe that Tklp needs to get off his ass and write the ║ ║ scene an apology letter admitting that he pulled a lame ass trick ║ ║ and got caught for it. I need to hear him confess that he did ║ ║ wrong, and I need to hear him say that he will never pull shit ║ ║ like that again before I would consider him a changed man. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Being the editors of an e-mag, Rebel Chicken and I are forced to ║ ║ keep unbiased opinions about things that happen in the scene. We can't ║ ║ label a group as bad because if they do change their ways, we have a ║ ║ duty to the scene to be there and support them once more. As much as I ║ ║ tried, though, I could never keep ROR clean in my eyes. There were too ║ ║ many things gone bad about them. However, Reflux made a good move with ║ ║ their first release, it being a WORKING VERSION of another group's ║ ║ error. I hope that this will be the future of Reflux, and I am now ║ ║ willing to, as my duty holds, clean ROR's marred reputation from my ║ ║ book, and give them another chance as Reflux. ║ ║ ║ ║ However, Reflux's second release, Bermuda Syndrome, turned out to be ║ ║ a dupe from November of 1995. Nonetheless, Reflux showed that they were ║ ║ mature about it, and promptly apologized for their mistake. ║ ║ ║ ║ Many have been bashing Reflux for, in reality, being ROR. However, ║ ║ there's more in the name Reflux than meets the eye. Reflux symbolizes ║ ║ not only ROR, but a second chance, something that the scene has always ║ ║ been an unconditional giver of. So Tklp, and your peers, may you have a ║ ║ great future, and may you have learned your lesson from your previous ║ ║ faults, many as they may be. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Hitex/Rebel Chicken ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : The Speed Racer ║ ║ Subject : The #1 Games Group? Affiliation : Razor 1911 Leader ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How do you think Razor (Razor 1911) currently rates against other ║ ║ games groups in the scene? Razor has been the #1 games group in ║ ║ the scene for many years now, but do you believe that it is still ║ ║ the #1 games group? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: I think that Razor will always be the #1 games group due to the ║ ║ fact that every game we release is quality and we pretest our ║ ║ games so that the end user will not have wasted his time ║ ║ downloading a non-working game. Also bear in mind that although ║ ║ Razor may not be the #1 games group in the games chart, we are ║ ║ consistent. I personally have seen many groups come and go in the ║ ║ past two years, some dynasties like Pentagram, TDU-Jam, and ║ ║ Hybrid. Hybrid is back though after it had died earlier when it ║ ║ tried merging into another games group known as Dynamix which is ║ ║ also dead now. But as these many groups come and go, in the end, ║ ║ there can only be one Razor! ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: True, Razor will always be around even when other groups come and ║ ║ go. I've been downloading Razor games since late 1994. I ║ ║ remember sometime in 1994 that I found a text being spread saying ║ ║ that Razor had officially disbanded. I was in shock because all ║ ║ of my friends had told me that Razor was a legendary group that ║ ║ would be around indefinitely. I read the text file on Razor ║ ║ 1911's death, and I found out that TRC (The Renegade Chemist) who ║ ║ who was a Razor leader at the time, decided to disband Razor. He ║ ║ claimed that he had disagreements with many other Razor members. ║ ║ A few weeks later, I was surprised to see that Razor did not die, ║ ║ and that you were the new leader. How did you become the leader ║ ║ of Razor 1911? It is ironic to see that TRC is now a leader of ║ ║ Prestige, Razor's closest competitor. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: In December of 1994, TRC had wanted to close down Razor saying ║ ║ that it was the best floppy game releasing group of all time and ║ ║ that the group should not continue due to the fact of the ║ ║ diminishing amount of floppy game releases. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: That's stupid of TRC, right after he disbanded Razor, didn't he go ║ ║ on to start his new floppy games group called Eclipse? What was ║ ║ he smoking? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: I took it upon myself to get a general consensus of the group, and ║ ║ I found that the majority did not want the group killed. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Of course not, Razor has always been a dominant force in the ║ ║ scene, it would be absurd to kill such a good group. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: With the backing of The Gecko and EOS, I called up the Razor ║ ║ distribution sites and suppliers and rallied them around. At that ║ ║ point, TRC was surprised to see such a gathering and put up a ║ ║ fight with Marauder siding with TRC and Randall Flagg helping. ║ ║ The text file being spread was actually a private message that TRC ║ ║ wrote in the Razor Conference on The Assassin's Guild, which was ║ ║ the Razor WHQ at the time. King Lear, a Razor courier, took the ║ ║ private message and spread it as a text file, he was booted out of ║ ║ Razor for doing it. After about a month, Marauder was the one ║ ║ supplier that supplied a few games with his razor.nfo which had ║ ║ TRC listed in it. The rest of the suppliers were using my ║ ║ razor.nfo which did not include TRC. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: So there were TWO razor.nfos? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: The final showdown would come on The Assassin's Guild when TRC was ║ ║ pumping up his version of Rise of the Triad and the rest of Razor ║ ║ pumped up my version with my nfo. Imagine that two Razor releases ║ ║ of the same game with different razor.nfos were being pumped up in ║ ║ a race, what a rush! ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Yup, what a rush. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: After seeing his loss on The Ghetto, which later becomes the ║ ║ Eclipse WHQ, TRC gracefully admitted his loss and that he was no ║ ║ longer in Razor. After that, we turned around our attention and ║ ║ we started a mad releasing frenzy. TRC was filled with revenge ║ ║ and hatred and after claiming he would retire, he then started ║ ║ Eclipse which would die three months later, then he jumped to ║ ║ Hybrid which would die four months later, then he went to Dynamix ║ ║ which lasted four months, and now he is finally with Prestige, a ║ ║ currently good games releasing group. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Why did you have this race with TRC in the first place? Why were ║ ║ there two separate razor.nfos, one with TRC in it, and one ║ ║ without? How could this have happened? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: In my razor.nfo, TRC was not listed cause we had kicked him out so ║ ║ he was trying to out release us with his name in his nfo to show ║ ║ that he had power in the group. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What an idiot! If you're not wanted in a group, you might as well ║ ║ leave it. Was TRC hard to work with? Why did he have to show ║ ║ that he had power in the group? Is he some kind of power hungry ║ ║ punk? Last time I chatted with him, he said to me, "But I am ║ ║ god!" And when I did not acknowledge the fact that he was a god, ║ ║ he got really really mad at me. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: TRC is very knowledgeable in supplying games, but he is very ║ ║ arrogant and cocky when it comes to dealing with people which ║ ║ usually rubs people the wrong way. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How is he knowledgeable in supplying? What does he do that no one ║ ║ else can? I'm sure he does not work for a games company, they ║ ║ wouldn't hire someone like him. How does he supply? I'm sure TRC ║ ║ doesn't supply games by doing store pick up because he always ║ ║ makes fun of Pest from Razor for doing that. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: TRC uses various methods and he does do store pick up and evidence ║ ║ of that would be his release of the game "Hoyles Solitaire." ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Yeah, Prestige released Hoyles Solitaire the same day it shipped ║ ║ into my store. I work for Egghead, so I know these things. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: If you would've been on top of your game you could have beaten ║ ║ him. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Thanks but no thanks. I don't supply. I like to keep myself ║ ║ clean for purposes of being an RCN editor. And I think supplying ║ ║ is a bore, don't take it the wrong way, it's just my personal bias ║ ║ toward taking games home, ripping them, cracking them, testing ║ ║ them, packaging them, and then uploading them to some board for ║ ║ credits. There are already enough people who can do that. Did ║ ║ TRC pose problems for Razor even after he left it? Has he done ║ ║ anything that would hinder Razor's work ethics, or its release ║ ║ potential? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: TRC has tried to kill the group or damage it by trying to steal ║ ║ some former HQs which supplied games and other suppliers as well, ║ ║ but people in general like working with me which is why they have ║ ║ stayed loyal to me and the group. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Of course, nobody likes to work with someone that has a fucking ║ ║ napaoleon complex, but either way, when you found out that TRC was ║ ║ trying to kill Razor and was trying to steal Razor suppliers, how ║ ║ did you react? Did you try to stop him? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: Luckily, I have great informers and everyone is loyal to me so I ║ ║ managed to secure everything. Except for maybe a few traders that ║ ║ left Razor, he got away with nothing. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You said earlier that Eclipse lasted four months with TRC running ║ ║ it, and you then mentioned that Hybrid and Dynamix also only ║ ║ lasted four months. Do you belive perhaps that Prestige would not ║ ║ last much longer than four months also, since it's being run by ║ ║ TRC? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: TRC is from what I am led to believe a minor leader, Zion and ║ ║ Speed Master are the leaders with Shadow Master also advising. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Yeah right, tell TRC that he is only a minor leader in Prestige ║ ║ and he'll blow up. You also mentioned earlier that the reason why ║ ║ Razor is the #1 games group is because it consistenly releases ║ ║ good quality games that are tested to make sure that they work, do ║ ║ you believe that there are other games groups out there that might ║ ║ also match Razor's quality? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RZR█: For now and the MOST part Prestige and Hybrid do release quality ║ ║ working games, and I hope they continue doing a good job doing so ║ ║ because in the end, the whole scene benefits from a good release. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Yes, and that's a great attitude toward your competitors. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Angel of Death ║ ║ Subject : Legion Steals! Affiliation : Ex-LGN Coordinator ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What is your current position in Legion? And what were your ║ ║ duties for the group? ║ ║ ║ ║ █AOD█: I was a net coordinator before Acidplain had cut me for no reason, ║ ║ and what I basically did was upload to Oasis and BBX for Legion ║ ║ and help out couriers. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Acidplain just decided to cut your position as a net coordinator ║ ║ for Legion for absolutely NO reason? I'm sure Acidplain must have ║ ║ been ticked off about something right? He wouldn't have just gone ║ ║ around cutting members from Legion without a valid cause. Were ║ ║ there any happenings prior to him cutting you from the group? ║ ║ ║ ║ █AOD█: It started about 6 months ago when the courier group Digital was ║ ║ still active in the scene. Acidplain was accepted into Digital as ║ ║ a member by Devast, a Digital Leader. Acidplain told Devast that ║ ║ he could get Digital t3 sites, but it turned out that Acidplain ║ ║ lied to Devast and when Devast found out, Devast kicked Acidplain ║ ║ out of the group. This morning, X-Factor, a co-leader of Legion, ║ ║ was angry with Acidplain because he hasn't done one good thing for ║ ║ Legion. I agreed with X-Factor on that note and also told him ║ ║ about Acidplain's prior reputation as a Digital member. Acidplain ║ ║ must have overheard what had happened and since he always hated ║ ║ me, he cut me. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: When you say that he cut you, you are referring to him kicking you ║ ║ out of the group right? Were any other members cut as a result of ║ ║ what you said? ║ ║ ║ ║ █AOD█: Yes, when I was still a net coordinator, X-Factor had told me to ║ ║ help him make a few cuts. When I came up with the list, Acidplain ║ ║ said that I too was cut from the group. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Do you believe that perhaps Acidplain might be doing more good for ║ ║ Legion if he left? After all, it seems to me that he might only ║ ║ be atrophying Legion's already tarred reputation. ║ ║ ║ ║ █AOD█: First of all, I would like to get one thing straight, I do not ║ ║ consider Acidplain leet at all, many people will agree with me on ║ ║ this. He has done nothing for the group so far and even his ║ ║ co-leaders agree. I must admit that his co-leaders are doing a ║ ║ really good job though. I could tell you that if he were to leave ║ ║ Legion, there would be no tears shed by anyone, in other words, he ║ ║ wouldn't make the group any worse. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Perhaps he does serve a purpose that benefits the group, but it ║ ║ just so happens that nobody can see what he does for the group? ║ ║ After all, if he did nothing for Legion, wouldn't he be kicked out ║ ║ of the group by now, or perhaps he will be kicked out soon? ║ ║ ║ ║ █AOD█: No, I don't think he'll get kicked out because the co-leaders ║ ║ don't want to do it because they are scared to. But I can tell ║ ║ you for a fact that one of the co-leaders has been thinking about ║ ║ it. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How many co-leaders are there in Legion? If there aren't more ║ ║ than 3 leaders in Legion, then that should really narrow it down ║ ║ to who has been thinking of kicking Acidplain out of Legion. ║ ║ ║ ║ █AOD█: Well, there are 3 leaders currently, but I think Acidplain was the ║ ║ founder although he doesn't do *NEARLY* as much as any of the ║ ║ other leaders. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: He might not be doing much good for Legion, but we all know that ║ ║ Acidplain is doing SOMETHING for Legion. After all, we all know ║ ║ that he's been out doing stupid things like starting wars with ║ ║ more popular utils groups such as Pinnacle. There is even ║ ║ evidence that he has been trying to steal suppliers from Pinnacle ║ ║ for Legion. Acidplain has also been caught flooding channel ║ ║ #Pinnacle like he was a 12 year old dickless lamer. Do the Legion ║ ║ leaders and members stand behind his actions? ║ ║ ║ ║ █AOD█: Well, many Legion members are afraid to stand up against Acidplain ║ ║ because they all know that he is very immature. If you speak out ║ ║ against him, you get cut from Legion like that. And yes, I ║ ║ believe that he has been stealing suppliers from other utils ║ ║ groups. I don't know whether he has stopped flooding channel ║ ║ #Pinnacle though. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How old is Acidplain? ║ ║ ║ ║ █AOD█: Well, I don't know how old he is, but when I asked him how old he ║ ║ was, he replied, "How old is your mom?" That alone should give ║ ║ you a picture of how immature he is. Legion is still a good utils ║ ║ group, it's just that things would be a lot more peaceful without ║ ║ a wannabe like Acidplain running around. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ A few days after this interview, I was informed that Acidplain was ║ ║ shitlisted out of Legion. In a desperate move, Acidplain claims that he ║ ║ now has a 6 gig t3 site, and that he is now a member of PWA (Pirated ║ ║ with Attitudes) and Razor 1911. Upon further confirmation, I was ║ ║ informed that he is not really a part of PWA or Razor 1911, and he ║ ║ definitely does not run a 6 gig t3 site. Acidplain was merely lying... ║ ║ ║ ║ The following is a log file of Acidplain playing lame after he found ║ ║ out that he was kicked out of Legion : ║ ║ ║ ║ *** Acidplain (ministry@netcom.com) has joined channel #Legion ║ ║ ║ ║ <Acidplain> Don't forget about my ftp site. I just got into PWA and ║ ║ Razor 1911.

Violence merged into LEGION!" ║ ║ ║ ║ <S_Mobius> Oh yea, just one more thing, about that 6 gig t3 site that ║ ║ Acidplain says he has, he told me about it 4 months ago. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Zima Man Interviewee : Zoltrix ║ ║ Subject : PCWarez Affiliation : PCW President ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Please tell us who you are and what you do. ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: I am the founder of PCWarez. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What kind of group is PCW and what is it's specialty? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well, PCWarez is a release group specializing mainly in utilities ║ ║ and once in a while the odd game and cd-rip. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How old is PCW and how was it founded? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: PCW was founded in February of 1996. We're going on our 1/2 year ║ ║ anniversary. And basically it was a few of us that got anooyed ║ ║ listening to other groups nagging at us so we started our own ║ ║ small group that has now grown to +90 hard working mambers. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You have more then 90 members? That's quite a lot, please tell us ║ ║ why your group size is so big? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well, we have our own couriers within the group as well as courier ║ ║ groups, we figure the more people the more the warez will get ║ ║ around. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: So your group is very strong courier wise, where do you spread you ║ ║ files first on BBS's or FTP's? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well, I would say it is sent to both equally because we have split ║ ║ the couriers in 2 groups, Internet and BBS so they get the files ║ ║ to both pretty much at the same time, as well as we have PTA ║ ║ (Power Trading Arsenal) offering on IRC and couriering to FTP as ║ ║ well. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You said before that your group is a uni-releasing group, how come ║ ║ you don't concentrate on only utils or games? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well we try to stay mostly with utils but if the game is cool and ║ ║ we have it handy then why not? ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What is your source of getting releases? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well, we have a few ways, we have suppliers who buy or rent the ║ ║ programs, as well as a few suppliers employed in companies wich ║ ║ provide software. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What do you mean rent programs? Where I come from, there are no ║ ║ programs available for rent, the only source is either to buy them ║ ║ or pirate them! ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well, here in Canada there are stores wich rent out cds and ║ ║ software, who knows if it is legal or not but they do it!! And ║ ║ these are reputable stores. We even have certain video stores ║ ║ which rent out games. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: PCW was never a big releasing group, but in the last few weeks you ║ ║ have released quite a lot of programs. How many releases do you ║ ║ put out in an average week? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: It varies every week! Sometimes we have nothing and sometimes we ║ ║ can release up to 7 to 8 releases a week, but we are still fairly ║ ║ young I would like to eventually have it to at least 10 releases a ║ ║ week every week. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: There was a rumour that one of PCW suppliers had Quake Final Beta ║ ║ before it was released by ROR but for some strange reason, you ║ ║ didn't release. Why did you pass on on such a great game? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Yes, that is true we had a supplier that had the beta but spent ║ ║ all day and night playing the game that we missed the chance and ║ ║ ROR released it. We were not seriously concerned with it anyways ║ ║ as we try to stay mostly with the utils. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: When you spread your files, to which FTPs and BBSes do they go ║ ║ first? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well, we have all the releases sent to our FTPs and our BBSes ║ ║ first and from there the couriers take them to the rest of the ║ ║ sites and boards I could not name all the places they go there are ║ ║ so many couriers I would never be able to keep track of that all I ║ ║ care is that they get out to people. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Many groups usually upload to big FTPs and BBSes in order not to ║ ║ be beaten by other groups, how come you don't do the same? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Like I said, my main concern is getting the files out to the ║ ║ people, I like to think we have couriers getting them to the big ║ ║ sites first seeing as we give them the files first, but as long as ║ ║ they get out and spread quickly. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How worldwide spread is PCW? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well, we cover mostly Canada and United States, but we also have ║ ║ people in Europe, Russia, South America, and Middle East so I ║ ║ would say we are pretty well covered. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What are the future plans for PCW? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Well, our future goal is to be up there along side Razor, PWA and ║ ║ the other big groups but for the near future we would just like to ║ ║ release a lot more warez for the people to enjoy! ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Ok, thanks a lot for the interview and is there anything you want ║ ║ to say in the closing? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PCW█: Yes, I would just like to say for everyone to keep an eye out for ║ ║ PCWAREZ and enjoy our releases!

A great contributor to this are the software companies ║ ║ themselves. Just as new groups pop up every day, new software companies ║ ║ pop up every day. And just as most new groups are complete fluff, and ║ ║ release nothing but crap, most new software companies are the same way. ║ ║ They care more about getting releases out the door quickly than they do ║ ║ about taking the time to properly program them. In fact -- and yes, I'm ║ ║ still talking about the companies here -- sometimes they don't even do a ║ ║ proper job of packaging their releases! I remember back in my Legacy ║ ║ (LGC) days, we had a release called "Nemesis II" that didn't work right ║ ║ off the CD! We contacted the company and apparently they had forgotten ║ ║ to place a file crucial for play under Windows 95 on the CD. It makes ║ ║ you wonder if they ever beta test their releases. What's worse is that ║ ║ the companies are sinking to the level of the piraters they are trying ║ ║ to eliminate! ║ ║ ║ ║ As soon as a company releases one of these ║ ║ bad/lame/stupid/low-quality releases, the scene does as well, and that's ║ ║ to be expected, but many people in the scene don't want to download ║ ║ these releases because they are exactly that, low in quality. That's ║ ║ where the problem WE can control comes into play. I can't blame a group ║ ║ for releasing this kind of crap, the scene is one big competition, and ║ ║ it is definitely a legitimate way of trying to climb up in the release ║ ║ scale, but it's not right when the releasing groups label the release ║ ║ with a wonderful tag. Let's say a company just released "Flight for ║ ║ Fun! for Windows 95." Sounds like a dandy release to me, but the group ║ ║ gets it and notices it's complete crap. Then, their NFO rates the ║ ║ release "[ooooooooo.] [09/10]." A look down will yield release ║ ║ information stating that the program is "A kick-ass flight simulator." ║ ║ ║ ║ In these competitive times, I don't blame groups for releasing ║ ║ anything and everything that they get their hands on, but there is no ║ ║ excuse for this sort of behavior. There are two main items that can ║ ║ always be expected in releases in the scene today. They are A) A ║ ║ FILE_ID.DIZ file so that when the file is uploaded to a BBS, it will ║ ║ automatically extrapolate the description, and B) a group NFO file so ║ ║ that the end users can find out information about the releasing group, ║ ║ and so that they can find out about the program they might want to ║ ║ download. Good practice would be to fill the release info section of ║ ║ the release with the text on the back of the box, that should give the ║ ║ end user enough information about what the release is, and then a short ║ ║ few lines about the group's assessment of the program. If it says that ║ ║ it recommends a 486 DX 33 MHz and the group ran it on a Pentium 100 and ║ ║ the scrolling was unbearably slow, mention that the release might only ║ ║ be ideal on a Pentium of at least 133 MHz. If the group is lazy ║ ║ (laziness will never get you to the top) just a bit of information found ║ ║ out while testing the program could suffice. ║ ║ ║ ║ What is NOT acceptable is when a group puts in 1 line of text about ║ ║ the program that any idiot could infer from the program name found in ║ ║ the DIZ (though don't take that for granted, a group recently forgot to ║ ║ put the name of the program in their DIZ). What's worse is when a ║ ║ respected group does this. I will offer you some examples. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Convert Plus - Released by DOD ║ ║ ┌──══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──┐ ║ ║ │ Just unzip the files in to "disk" dirs' and install it. │ ║ ║ │ -AZZ- │ ║ ║ ├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ║ ║ ║ ║ I took a gamble when I downloaded this program because I didn't know ║ ║ exactly WHAT it would convert, fortunately I won, this is a WONDERFUL ║ ║ release by DOD, unfortunately many probably passed this one up due to ║ ║ DOD's skimpy description.

Others of you may not have ║ ║ heard them yet, and you might never hear about it. So I've decided to ║ ║ set the record straight before it can get distorted. ║ ║ ║ ║ It's no secret that I haven't been truly active in a long, long ║ ║ time. However, I always tried to keep myself informed of the goings-on ║ ║ in the scene, what groups are best, etc., and tried to keep Zeus going ║ ║ getting the inside titles that he's able to pull with little effort. As ║ ║ a member of Dynamix, it became clear to me over time that Dynamix was ║ ║ going nowhere fast. ║ ║ ║ ║ I planned to start putting forth more effort in the summer, when I ║ ║ would only be occupied with work, not school AND work. Anyway, I ║ ║ started by giving Zeus a few phone calls and telling him about some ║ ║ upcoming games, Duke Nukem 3D among them. Zeus bagged Duke Nukem 3D and ║ ║ Dynamix was revived after its 2 month "rest" while Crackpot was in ║ ║ complete control. ║ ║ ║ ║ As I became more involved/informed and Zeus dusted off the old ║ ║ supply machine, it became increasingly clear that the structure of ║ ║ Dynamix was holding it back from becoming something more. This was ║ ║ because the founder of the group, BlueWater, didn't have a phone line ║ ║ and even when he did he wasn't much of an organizer, and the guy who'd ║ ║ been "running" the group for the past few months (Crackpot) had done ║ ║ nothing with it even though he'd had all the opportunity in the world to ║ ║ get something accomplished. I felt that I was in a good position to ║ ║ start making moves to improve the group, but like I said, I felt ║ ║ constrained by the leadership structure. Changes were needed, but I ║ ║ didn't know exactly how to approach this delicate issue. ║ ║ ║ ║ To make matters worse, neither I nor Zeus really cared for Crackpot. ║ ║ At first we tried to work with him, but he seemed to think he knew ║ ║ everything better, even to the point where he tried to get himself set ║ ║ up with old suppliers who never amounted to much - suppliers like Jack ║ ║ from the UK who I've had numerous dealings with in the past, a guy I ║ ║ know to be a liar and a thief. Also, in the 2 months while Zeus and I ║ ║ were more or less inactive and in Dynamix, Crackpot had brought in a guy ║ ║ from Canada named Hemp Hoodlum to assist him in running the group. ║ ║ ║ ║ So, here was the scenario - Crackpot, Hemp Hoodlum, Zeus, and myself ║ ║ were the handful of guys in "charge" of the direction of the group. ║ ║ Crackpot/Hemp seemed dedicated to preserving the status quo and maybe ║ ║ going out and picking up a few out-of-date suppliers and untested ║ ║ crackers. Zeus wanted to use his methods of supply to get originals and ║ ║ start getting the group moving forward again. I wanted radical changes ║ ║ which would allow us to pick up new members who were currently ║ ║ producing, and do so in large numbers. But to do so would contradict ║ ║ what Crackpot/Hemp wanted to do with the group, so I was in a quandary. ║ ║ But that all changed. ║ ║ ║ ║ Speed Master approached me on the Internet and asked me if Dynamix ║ ║ would be intersted in a merger with Prestige. I immediately pondered ║ ║ the possibilities - Prestige had a proven UK supply section, a motivated ║ ║ US supplier/organizer in Shadow Master, good boards, and also very ║ ║ importantly, funding to pay for costs incurred while getting originals. ║ ║ They also had several capable crackers which was something that Dynamix ║ ║ desperately needed, although we were in the process of picking up some ║ ║ guys like Djpaul and had just acquired Holy Beast, 2 solid crackers who ║ ║ would add to the mix. With Dynamix's relatively fluid Internet section, ║ ║ along with Zeus, myself, and even Specie picking up the odd title, plus ║ ║ any other resources we might have at our disposal, Prestige/Dynamix (as ║ ║ it would be called) could truly be a dominating group. As it turned ║ ║ out, that never happened. ║ ║ ║ ║ So after Speed Master suggested the merger, I thought about it and ║ ║ called Zeus to see what he thought. Zeus had a positive opinion, and ║ ║ since one of us never does anything without the other, this was an ║ ║ important factor. So, I called Crackpot up and asked him what he ║ ║ thought. I was surprised to find out that this was something that ║ ║ Crackpot had been asked about back in March, but he didn't do it then ║ ║ for some reason. Hemp Hoodlum echoed the info that Crackpot had given ║ ║ to me. Crackpot was initially noncommital about the whole thing, but ║ ║ Hemp was vehemently in favor of a merger, along with myself and Zeus. ║ ║ In any case,3 out of 4 of us were in favor of the merger, with Crackpot ║ ║ in a neutral position at this point. I mentioned earlier that I didn't ║ ║ care for Crackpot, but even so, I wanted this merger to happen on the ║ ║ best possible terms so I proceeded slowly with it. Since there were ║ ║ only supposed to be 4 of us deciding this kind of thing, and there were ║ ║ only 6 active members in Dynamix total anyway, I didn't discuss it with ║ ║ anyone else in Dynamix. Shadow Master was the main person in Prestige ║ ║ that I dealt with on the terms of a merger. We quickly agreed that it ║ ║ was not right for the group to still be called Prestige; neither of us ║ ║ wanted to see Dynamix absorbed into Prestige, rather the 2 groups were ║ ║ to complement each other as a new force. Shadow Master told me of the ║ ║ reluctance of Prestige Europe as well as Zion (sysop of Zion's Hideout) ║ ║ to change the name, so we agreed that I would contact the concerned ║ ║ parties about this issue. There was only one other point of contention ║ ║ - the new World HQ. Obviously, Crackpot desired (and expected) that ║ ║ Park Central would be the WHQ. I didn't really care which board was ║ ║ WHQ, but if the truth be known, I didn't care for Park Central any more ║ ║ than I cared for its cosysop. ║ ║ ║ ║ So, when I was informed by Shadow Master that the deal would fall ║ ║ through if Zion's wasn't the WHQ, I knew that I'd have a hard time ║ ║ breaking it to Crackpot, but I also knew that in political terms, if ║ ║ Crackpot was left out in the cold it wouldn't be a problem. Hemp, Zeus ║ ║ and I seemed unified in that we wanted the merger; it would provide ║ ║ fresh blood and fresh ideas that would allow the new group to really ║ ║ kick ass. In any event we didn't want to keep Dynamix going the way ║ ║ that it was, and as I mentioned earlier I was a definite proponent of ║ ║ quick, sweeping changes in the group. ║ ║ ║ ║ By this time, several days had gone by since the idea of a merger ║ ║ had first been broached, and even Crackpot was warming up to it. He ║ ║ still had some reservations about it, the first among them being his ║ ║ power in the group (he constantly stated how we needed to enter the ║ ║ merger with the "upper hand" - thinking that I did not agree with him) ║ ║ and of course the status of his board. But when I approached him with ║ ║ the 2 major points, those being that (a) Zion's would have to be the WHQ ║ ║ and (b) the group name would have to be a coop name, ie ║ ║ Prestige/Dynamix, he immediately lost all interest in the merger. The ║ ║ problem was that he didn't tell me that he had lost all interest, so I ║ ║ continued to try to convince him that it was the best idea so that we ║ ║ could have his blessing rather than his grudging agreement that we were ║ ║ doing the right thing. In the meantime, he went behind my back and ║ ║ started to dismantle the merger before we even got it finalized. He did ║ ║ this by talking to other members such as Specie who really had no ║ ║ business deciding the direction the group would head in, and he ║ ║ convinced them that the merger was only my idea, and that the prime ║ ║ reason driving me to push the group into the merger was my desire to be ║ ║ able to brag that I was in the best group. Whether I'm only interested ║ ║ in bragging rights isn't the issue at this point; the problem was that ║ ║ he was telling me one thing and telling others another altogether. He ║ ║ contined with his story by telling Hemp Hoodlum to cancel the merger. I ║ ║ mean the guy didn't even have the balls to do it himself. Anyway... ║ ║ ║ ║ So for several days I spoke to Crackpot for at least an hour a day ║ ║ extolling to him the virtues of Prestige/Dynamix. All of the objections ║ ║ he posed were totally unfounded, but I can't name all of them here ║ ║ because of issues of group secrecy. One that I CAN discuss, however, is ║ ║ his stupid excuse that the group would be lame because the name was ║ ║ lame. Another was that "Dynamix is just starting to be a good group, ║ ║ let's not ruin it by joining into a larger one" when in reality it was ║ ║ only Zeus who was keeping the group afloat by putting out Duke Nukem 3D. ║ ║ When Crackpot started throwing out excuses like that it was pretty clear ║ ║ to me that the only real interest he had in the group was to keep it ║ ║ right where it was, namely a support group for Park Central. It was at ║ ║ that point that I decided that whether or not the merger occurred, I ║ ║ wouldn't be in plain old Dynamix much longer. ║ ║ ║ ║ While I left Crackpot to mull over the information that I'd given ║ ║ him, I still had one more detail to sew up - apparently some of the UK ║ ║ suppliers were opposed to changing the Prestige name, one that they'd ║ ║ built up over a period of 2 1/2 years going back to the Amiga scene. ║ ║ Having been a member of a group for an extended period of time (Razor ║ ║ 1911, 3 1/2 years) I certainly understood their position, and at this ║ ║ point I was starting to feel that the merge wasn't going to work out, ║ ║ but when I spoke to Deathknight (Euro Prestige leader) I still insisted ║ ║ that we have the name Prestige/Dynamix so that Dynamix wouldn't just be ║ ║ absorbed into the Prestige infrastructure. I found out from Deathknight ║ ║ that he, and even Zion, were totally unopposed to using a coop name, ║ ║ even a new name, and that the only stumbling block were the UK guys. He ║ ║ said that he'd try to convice them and would be back in touch. Since I ║ ║ felt that I still had some convincing to do on my end, I figured I'd let ║ ║ it sit over the weekend and by Sunday or Monday we should have something ║ ║ set in stone. ║ ║ ║ ║ Well, the next day I got on the net and started chatting with Shadow ║ ║ Master. I told him that I had spoken to Deathknight and was awaiting ║ ║ his return so that I could finish up with the merger deal with him, when ║ ║ SMaster told me that Hemp Hoodlum had told him that the deal was off. ║ ║ Of course I was pretty pissed off, and it just so happened that Hemp was ║ ║ on IRC so I jumped into a private chat with him and asked what the hell ║ ║ was going on. He told me that Crackpot had told him that I was telling ║ ║ people all these different stories in order to seize power in the group ║ ║ and force the merger, and that because of that Crackpot had told him to ║ ║ put the merger on hold indefinitely. Upon hearing this I immediately ║ ║ told Hemp Hoodlum that I was quitting the group and exited chat. ║ ║ ║ ║ Why did I quit so suddenly? Not because the merger had been placed ║ ║ on hold, that was certainly reparable. The problem I had was that Hemp ║ ║ and Crackpot had acted alone without even consulting me (and at this ║ ║ point I suspected that they hadn't told Zeus, either). Since it had ║ ║ been agreed that the 4 of us would make the decisions concerning the ║ ║ direction of the group, I felt that Crackpot was trying to shut me out ║ ║ of the situation so that he could keep Dynamix right where he wanted it ║ ║ most - on Park Central, and in his thrall. ║ ║ ║ ║ I phoned Zeus right away and told him that Hemp/Crackpot had called ║ ║ off the deal. Before I even told him that I had already quit the group, ║ ║ Zeus suggested that we both quit Dynamix and join Prestige. So I knew ║ ║ that Zeus wasn't making his decision just based on what I wanted him to ║ ║ do. After Zeus and I had decided that we would indeed leave Dynamix for ║ ║ Prestige, I called up a few local friends that I had gotten into Dynamix ║ ║ (Bababooey, The Comet) and they agreed to come with us to Prestige also ║ ║ - they realized that without Zeus, Dynamix was a sinking ship. Of ║ ║ course Marauder and Randall Flagg came along as well - they didn't even ║ ║ have to be asked. Marauder, RF, Zeus and myself have been friends since ║ ║ the beginning of time, and we stay together no matter what. ║ ║ ║ ║ So after I'd determined who would leave in the initial wave (I still ║ ║ had to talk to another good friend, Excessive Knight, who has been out ║ ║ of the country for some time and unavailable via phone), I called ║ ║ Crackpot and told him that we were leaving. Crackpot was extremely ║ ║ bitter and stated his belief that I was worthless and that I was only ║ ║ doing it so that I would be in the best group, and that I didn't care ║ ║ about anyone else, etc etc etc. I tried to show him the light, that I ║ ║ wanted to be in a group that could kick ass, that Zeus wanted the same, ║ ║ and that besides, out of all the people in Dynamix most of us weren't ║ ║ friends anyway, but finally I just dropped it and told him that he could ║ ║ believe whatever he wanted to, this would be the way it was and that was ║ ║ it. ║ ║ ║ ║ You can imagine my surprise when Shadow Master told me that as soon ║ ║ as I quit IRC, Hemp Hoodlum presented himself and told SMaster that he ║ ║ and the remaining Dynamix members would join Prestige if it meant ║ ║ keeping me and Zeus out. SMaster kind of laughed at him. Later on, ║ ║ however, Tazman asked me if I'd mind if Hemp Hoodlum joined the group as ║ ║ the two of them were friends. Even though Hemp had kind of screwed me, ║ ║ and I gave Hemp a little shit about it, I figured that he was just ║ ║ acting as Crackpot's lackey so I didn't have any real objections to him ║ ║ being in the group. This is where it starts to get a little bit ║ ║ confusing. ║ ║ ║ ║ Hemp joined right after our little group of members did, so I wasn't ║ ║ really well informed on the whole situation with him. Boy, was I ever ║ ║ shocked to see the next Prestige release that had a whole LOT of members ║ ║ in it. Apparently Hemp Hoodlum misrepresented the whole thing to these ║ ║ people and told them that it was in fact a MERGER; and that was just the ║ ║ people that he spoke to before putting them in the nfo file. You can ║ ║ imagine I had a little mess to clean up when someone like The Outlaws ║ ║ tells me in IRC that Hemp Hoodlum didn't even tell him about the merger ║ ║ initially, and that he was surprised to see his name in the nfo file! ║ ║ The Outlaws later spoke to Hemp, and like I said was told that there had ║ ║ been a merger and that he would retain his German HQ position and even ║ ║ become a member. This was the same story I heard from other people ║ ║ ranging from the trader Razor Sharp to the cracker Holy Beast, all these ║ ║ people were misinformed by Hemp Hoodlum. Incidentally, Hemp Hoodlum ║ ║ later quit the group, I imagine out of frustration. The free ride was ║ ║ over. ║ ║ ║ ║ And that's the point of this whole essay. Dynamix was a joke, but ║ ║ when it did "work" it was a free ride for people like Crackpot and Hemp ║ ║ Hoodlum. It really is unfortunate because some people really did ║ ║ contribute honestly to the group's success; people like Specie, ║ ║ Excessive Knight, and a handful of others. The problem was that when ║ ║ push came to shove, the leadership in place was more interested in ║ ║ preserving the status quo and their power than they were in expanding ║ ║ the good fortunes of the group. The free ride is indeed over. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Road Rebel ║ ║ Subject : An Uncontroled IRC Op ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ IRC ops were first created as a form of controlling what happens on ║ ║ the IRC network so that things don't get out of hand, and when they do, ║ ║ there would be a way of controlling it. The definition of an IRC op is ║ ║ a person that is an administrator of a certain IRC server, and has the ║ ║ power to "kill" people or "k-line" people from the network. A "kill" is ║ ║ like a normal channel kick, but it will completely disconnect you from ║ ║ the server you're on, meaning that you'll have to reconnect to it, a big ║ ║ hassle. A "k-line" is a banning of a user from a particular server. ║ ║ Just as one can get banned from a channel, a person can get banned from ║ ║ use of an IRC server. IRC ops were meant to be regulatory agents of ║ ║ IRC, but apparently many IRC ops have been greatly abusing their power, ║ ║ breaking into others' channels by killing all the ops, and taking things ║ ║ into their own hands, when they "feel" like it. ║ ║ ║ ║ Prae, an IRC op, entered channel #RCN when he had a problem with ║ ║ Eraser. Eraser was not even an op in channel #RCN. #RCN was packed ║ ║ with regular channel ops, assigned by the RCN staff to regulate the ║ ║ goings-on in the channel, and it would in no way be the business of an ║ ║ IRC op to join the channel and impose private regulations upon it. RCN ║ ║ is in no way illegal, we are merely excercising our freedom of speech, ║ ║ and thus, at the time, we were in no violation of any of the rules ║ ║ behind IRC, nor were we ever caught doing so in the past. Though there ║ ║ are no real written rules for IRC, nor is there a written constitution ║ ║ for IRC ops to abide by, it takes just a bit of common sense to figure ║ ║ out what they are, and not much more than that to figure out when an IRC ║ ║ op is going over his understood boundaries. In this incident, Eraser ║ ║ and Prae started arguing, and Prae was asked to leave. He was asked ║ ║ about 5 times. ║ ║ ║ ║ When he finally had to be banned and kicked, he killed all channel ║ ║ ops saying that they were bots. Generally an IRC op will have to ║ ║ justify kills and k-lines so that other IRC ops (to which all kills are ║ ║ reported) would know if that op is going too far. It's sort of a checks ║ ║ and balances system, but obviously one that can easily be bypassed, and ║ ║ since a jury of IRC ops is never present to assess a situation, it is ║ ║ nearly impossible to do anything to fight back against these IRC ops ║ ║ "gone bad." I would like to say that I am not a bot. Channel #RCN is ║ ║ not a warez channel. Prae was not provoked in anyway. He was just ║ ║ asked to leave, and next to a request such as that, Prae can be ║ ║ juxtaposed with any other member of the IRC network, with no ║ ║ distinction. ║ ║ ║ ║ After we got the channel back, he deopped us and took it again, once ║ ║ more with no provocation.

TSR ║ ║ seems to think that when you join Razor 1911, that you are part of that ║ ║ Razor indefinitely. That of course, is only an opinion of Iron Man who ║ ║ recently departed Razor and was blacklisted off some boards and sites ║ ║ for doing so. The following log file was made in channel #Prestige and ║ ║ should be able to clear things up : ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ <Rambone> TSR is an idiot because he believes he brought Razor 1911 to a ║ ║ higher level. But the truth is, he did nothing. It was the ║ ║ people behind him that did the work. If it were not for them, ║ ║ Razor 1911 would be just an ink spot. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> I left Razor 1911 and TSR tried to be a hard ass about it by ║ ║ nuking me from some boards and sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Immortal> No group is based on one person. Rambone, you would have to ║ ║ agree that PWA is the same. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Rambone, isn't that how all groups are run? Isn't that why ║ ║ leaders appoint people that do the work well? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> Do you back him up and feel the same way, because I was ║ ║ getting dicked around in Razor 1911. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> I know in a second that Orion wouldn't say that he made PWA ║ ║ the best utils group. It's a group effort. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Immortal> Iron Man, he DID not boot you from boards because you were ║ ║ leaving Razor 1911. I believe it was a more PERSONAL issue. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Rambone> Not with the bullshit he says to people. You don't just cut ║ ║ leaders out of a group. TSR, speak up ya fuck. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> TSR left dude. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Zeus> TSR has done a lot for Razor 1911. Believe me, I know what he ║ ║ does, or should I say, I know what he did. ║ ║ ║ ║ <SMaster> TSR makes me hard, er... maybe I shouldn't say that. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Rambone> TSR has pulled a lot of penises. I guess that's good. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Immortal> Rambone, where do you get off bashing someone like that, show ║ ║ your maturity level. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> Rom Racer, I paged TSR at least 3 or 4 times to discuss the ║ ║ issue with him, he never called back. I messaged Pitbull ║ ║ like 25 times and like both of you said he didn't even reply. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Immortal> Do you see TSR wasting his time even replying back? Iron ║ ║ Man, HE WAS MOVING. He probably never had time to check his ║ ║ pages. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Zeus> Could someone tell me who RAMBONE is? He acts like he is in the ║ ║ scene or something. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> TSR might do all that, but he's a liar! ║ ║ ║ ║ <SpeedMstr> Druidkin, it still gives him no right to fuck with one of ║ ║ our guys like he is. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Rom_Racer> Iron Man, how TSR handles his calls is none of my business. ║ ║ ║ ║ <SMaster> I am all for being pissed at people who leave, but nuking ║ ║ their board accounts is going too far. Plus, TSR forgets that ║ ║ people do NOT join groups for life and can leave if they like. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Speed Master, TSR didn't fuck with Iron Man when Iron Man was ║ ║ Prestige, TSR just cleaned up old Razor 1911 buisness. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Immortal> Speed Master, I believe it was a more personal issue, not a ║ ║ Razor 1911 and Prestige issue. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Now, if you'd like to take it to a group level, I'll gladly ║ ║ fight for Razor 1911, but this personal attack on TSR is so ║ ║ petty and beneath me. ║ ║ ║ ║ <SpeedMstr> TSR fucked with Iron Man even after he joined Prestige. ║ ║ ║ ║ <SMaster> It was personal because Chris felt Iron Man had betrayed him ║ ║ by joining another group. Chris believed that Iron Man was ║ ║ indebted to him for life. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Rambone> TSR is of no need for Razor 1911. Outvote him and get on with ║ ║ a new leader. ║ ║ ║ ║ <SMaster> Druidkin, TSR is a friend of mine, but what he did to Iron Man ║ ║ was pretty rough. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Rambone, you tend to forget that the whole group likes and ║ ║ respects Chris. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> Exactly! TSR was pissed because I left, but 50 times more ║ ║ pissed because I joined Prestige. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Immortal> Rambone, why not have a vote in PWA and outvote you? Does ║ ║ that make sense? You should think before you type. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> Druidkin, what lesson am I to learn? Am I not allowed to ║ ║ leave Razor 1911? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Iron Man, don't even begin to assume that you know what TSR ║ ║ was thinking. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Rom_Racer> Iron Man, you learned group loyalty or you should have. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> I know what group loyalty is! Razor 1911 has NO respect for ║ ║ anyone in Razor 1911, look at Jester King! ║ ║ ║ ║ <SMaster> Druidkin, I know what Chris was thinking though. Nonetheless, ║ ║ removing accounts was mean spirited and petty, total ║ ║ blacklisting is EVIL. ║ ║ ║ ║ <SMaster> Razor 1911 said I wasn't loyal when I left, yet the only ║ ║ reason I joined Razor 1911 was because I was retiring and TSR ║ ║ asked me to join. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> Loyalty? Why should I die with Razor 1911? I would rather ║ ║ take a promotion! ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> Druidkin, I am in a quality group that respects their ║ ║ couriers a lot more than Razor 1911 did! ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Iron Man, take it as a lesson well learned and deal with it, ║ ║ move on, make your name Loyalty Iron. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> What lesson is this Druikdin? I have more loyalty for ║ ║ Mortality and Prestige. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Then you've learned a lesson Iron Man, move forward and stop ║ ║ dwelling on the past. Personally, I'd ban you from channel ║ ║ #Razor for being a whiney ass. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Iron-Man> I had loyalty to Razor 1911, but when you get pissed on, you ║ ║ tend to lose that loyalty. Whiney ass? I'm just proving a ║ ║ point. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Immortal> Watch this be in RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ <PForm> RCN is lame. No, don't spread logs, it'll end up in RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Arch-Vile> I did not take a log. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Xwing> It'll end up in RCN for sure! ║ ║ ║ ║ <PForm> Someone in here probably already leaked it to RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Xwing> Arch-Vile, we're safe as long as we don't have anyone from that ║ ║ stupid group RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Supernaut> Arch-Vile, but if RCN prints this, then everyone will know ║ ║ what Razor 1911 did. Who has a log? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Arch-Vile> Dude, I didn't take a log. Go ask someone who did. ║ ║ ║ ║ <SpeedMstr> I never even got to argue with TSR. As soon as TSR joined ║ ║ the channel, everyone attacked him like a pack of wolves. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Arch-Vile> Fear this, the latest scoop, Tklp started a new group called ║ ║ Reflux. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Tklp> No I didn't. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Supernaut> Don't you mean Dumbflux? ║ ║ ║ ║ <PForm> Loosen up and make fun of ROR and Reflux. ║ ║ ║ ║ *** Turbo2 (xxx@xxxxx.xxx) has joined channel #Prestige ║ ║ ║ ║ <Turbo2> Someone should fix the game Decathlon. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Supernaut> There is nothing wrong with Decathlon. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Turbo2> No it doesn't.

I was actually the friendliest you would ║ ║ have found here because I just issued a warning and let you know ║ ║ that if it WAS you, that you better stop.

If you are, then you shouldn't do it again ║ ║ because you could get into trouble. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Me> Well, I've put up with so much shiznit from you guys that I may be ║ ║ moving to ncinter.net shortly. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Sysop> If you feel that you would be better served, then I wouldn't ║ ║ stop you from switching your account. You might find that they ║ ║ won't put up with much either. ║ ║ ║ ║ *** Note : They think my friend hacked them. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Me> Whatever.

A short while ago, an old ║ ║ group, ROR, decided to call it quits after having their releases banned ║ ║ from all the big boards. This was a result of their releases, as a ║ ║ general statement, not working, or being releases nobody would use. ║ ║ Tklp thought he would be smart and he renamed the group to Reflux, ║ ║ taking in several new members. His decision paid off, the scene ║ ║ accepted Reflux and gave it another chance, still understanding that it ║ ║ was basically the same thing. On one of Reflux's first releases, they ║ ║ put out "Bermuda Syndrome," a wonderful Windows 95 game. However, ║ ║ Bermuda Syndrome had already been released by FBI in November of last ║ ║ year. The game slipped through their dupe checking department. Though ║ ║ it caught many eyes and raised many eyebrows as a result of Reflux's ║ ║ already marred reputation from ROR, people let it go when Manic, a ║ ║ Reflux senior, released a text file (cheap trick for keeping it from ║ ║ making it too far past the Internet ;-) apologizing for their mistake. ║ ║ It was a respectable apology and was taken in a good way. People ║ ║ understood that people make mistakes, and these guys just made a lot of ║ ║ them, this soon after the Quake scandal in which they just edited the ║ ║ dates on files to make them look like a different release. ║ ║ ║ ║ Today, another member of Reflux released the following text file ║ ║ attempting to con the scene into believing that the release was in fact ║ ║ NOT a dupe and that it should be regarded as a great release by this ║ ║ already shaky group. Note that I'm writing this article because Rebel ║ ║ Chicken is falling out of his chair of laughter and is too amused to ║ ║ write it himself. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ EXPLANATION ║ ║ ----------- ║ ║ ║ ║ Here is Jda of RLX. I will try to keep it short: this TXT is to inform, ║ ║ not about a poetry :P. A few days ago RLX released: ║ ║ ║ ║ - BERMUDA SYNDROME (c) CENTURY/BGM ║ ║ a) main (50 disks); ║ ║ b) intro/outro add-on; ║ ║ c) speech/gfx add-on; ║ ║ ║ ║ In a 30 minutes it turned out that a group called US and FBI released ║ ║ that game months ago. We were told we did a dupe. Our senior [-Manic-], ║ ║ in order to save RLX's good name, released an official apology. That was ║ ║ a right thing to do in that time, but now we want to explain *all* ║ ║ details and get over this accident... ║ ║ ║ ║ ...because in a fact BERMUDA SYNDROME was not a dupe. Here is how: ║ ║ ║ ║ 1. We have released *different* version, version 1.2. Just look at the ║ ║ patch included in PATCH.ZIP on the first disk. Apart from this: the ║ ║ old version had around 186 megs on CD, ours has around 220 megs. The ║ ║ old release is in Russian, ours is in *English*. In our version the ║ ║ dialogues are different also, when you look at the old release you ║ ║ will see. ║ ║ ║ ║ 2. The reasons for the above changes is that the game is about to be ║ ║ released in the West. The game was written by Russians, and Western ║ ║ people demanded changes (animations, dialogues, etc.). BERMUDA ║ ║ SYNDROME is now being advertised in UK press, for example. So the old ║ ║ release was just some kind of test version, and we have released the ║ ║ final thing. ║ ║ ║ ║ 3. Old release version was over 60 disks. In that times the disk limit ║ ║ for a release was 30 or 40 disks, I do not remember, never mind. Now ║ ║ it is 50 disks. Still *very* far from 60... SO THE OLD RELEASE SHOULD ║ ║ BE TREATED AS NON-EXISTANT! This is just a simple logic: scene has ║ ║ its rules and we have to listen to them. If disk limit is exceeded, ║ ║ then release is a fuckup and noone should give a fuck about it. ║ ║ ║ ║ In other words: RLX released *correctly* stripped version (not exceeding ║ ║ the disk limit), in *proper* language (English speech and English ║ ║ dialogues translated by our bro Alchemist), and in *latest* version ║ ║ (1.2, which is supposed to be final). ║ ║ ║ ║ The game would be GAME OF THE WEEK in Ionizer's Games Review, if not the ║ ║ scene, which jumped on us screaming it is a dupe. This the simply the ║ ║ best Windows'95-only game I ever saw, and we just cannot let it go. We ║ ║ would not sacrifice a *very* hard work of a few people (ripping, ║ ║ cracking, translating) just because of old, lame, 61 disk release of ║ ║ Russian version. ║ ║ ║ ║ I can imagine a few you who now think to themselves: "Geez, fuck RLX, ║ ║ they did a dupe, they cannot be trusted because of RoR's fuckups, they ║ ║ cannot see the sad truth, they should be banned" etc. To those people ║ ║ all I can say is: read my explanation again. Think about it. Do not be ║ ║ biased. ║ ║ ║ ║ And finally: the release was supplied by very close friend of game's ║ ║ main programmer. Here is what his friend T0k, president of util group ║ ║ SODOM, has to say about it: ║ ║ ║ ║ " ║ ║ Hi. ║ ║ ║ ║ So, i wanna tell u someffin about this release from reflux... all u know ║ ║ it was released from FBI... Bermuda Syndrome few months ago... but: ║ ║ ║ ║ 1. 1st thing why u must belive me: `coz i know *PERSONALY* ppl from ║ ║ company who coded this game, in russia, and i was 1st who get this ║ ║ game... i mean i was 1st on scene who take it in hand, so, tell me ║ ║ now, why the fuck, i need to release twice??? sure reflux released ║ ║ new version of Bermuda! ask yourself, why i didn't i hear about this ║ ║ game before??? if it is so fucking cool, as Ionizer write in review ║ ║ about it??? i can tell u why... `coz "FBI" release shit... ║ ║ ║ ║ -- non working version... like beta or someffin... ║ ║ -- without English patch... *russian language only* ║ ║ -- lame rip... ║ ║ ║ ║ that's why noone heard about this briliant game... IMHO best arcade game ║ ║ for windows 95 for last few months. And when some ppl tell me the game ║ ║ was nuked, `coz siteops or someone see JUST "BERMUDA SYNDROME" and ║ ║ thinks that was a dupe... so... look, this release from reflux was realy ║ ║ decent, and i'm glad to tell u, that most part of europen siteop, don't ║ ║ nuke it, and understand that was good/new one, u'll see it when they run ║ ║ it, and n`joy... so... in the future... if u wanna scream/nuke someffin, ║ ║ just cheek it out 1st... and don't panic... ok, thats all this time. ║ ║ thx. ║ ║ ║ ║ -- TOk. ║ ║ " ║ ║ ║ ║ CONCLUSION: ║ ║ ----------- ║ ║ ║ ║ BERMUDA SYNDROME was *not* a dupe. Anyway, we are releasing this *final* ║ ║ explanation just to clear things up, not to start a war or anything. ║ ║ When you will be safely enjoying BERMUDA, knowing that it is OK release, ║ ║ we will strike again with another game. Because that is what we are for. ║ ║ ║ ║ JdA/RLX ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Now for the part where I tell you that this is complete bull shit ║ ║ and should have actually been in Mad RCN because it's so amusing. I ║ ║ have great respect for Manic because he just got up and made an apology ║ ║ to the scene for a mistake. I'm sure the general concencus among Reflux ║ ║ members upon finding out that they duped was a shiver here, a shiver ║ ║ there, an "oh crap" here and another there. Manic suppressed the fear ║ ║ and just said the truth, apparently while JdA was coming up with a good ║ ║ lie that he thought the scene would believe -- very unprofessional. ║ ║ ║ ║ Obviously there are some huge leaps that JdA ignored while writing ║ ║ his file. Generally if a game company wants to release a new version of ║ ║ a game, they'll do so and name the version 2.0. That is, the game will ║ ║ be a bit different, like JdA said. However, this wasn't the case with ║ ║ this game. Perhaps the game was a different version, I could buy the ║ ║ verison 1.2 business, after all I have no way of verifying it now, as 8 ║ ║ months is a bit late to go looking on sites, but if that's the case, and ║ ║ if you could fit a patch on one disk, WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU JUST ║ ║ RELEASE THE PATCH? ║ ║ ║ ║ Also, don't try to say the old release is non-existent, FBI never ║ ║ agreed to any disk limit 8 months ago, and neither did ROR/RLX now, ║ ║ because you guys were not invited to the meetings regarding it. So ║ ║ don't try to justify yourself by claiming others' faults. If anybody's ║ ║ release should be claimed non-existent, it's yours, because you're the ║ ║ one that said you had one of your own guys translate the game, and last ║ ║ I checked the warez scene releases software by the companies, not half ║ ║ by the companies and half the group's work. RLX is lucky because ROR ║ ║ was granted a second chance, but don't expect old views of ROR to be ║ ║ lost, you weren't granted a new life, just a new name and a second ║ ║ chance. ║ ║ ║ ║ Finally, if this hasn't convinced you yet, please explain the file ║ ║ dates. The file dates still said October 1995, which sounds a lot like ║ ║ the FBI release. You guys did a better job on the Quake cop out, at ║ ║ least there you faked the dates, you didn't even do THAT for this ║ ║ release. ║ ║ ║ ║ I hate to break it to you but Reflux is already banned from Beyond ║ ║ Akira, and I shudder to think about how many more boards that ban could ║ ║ be extended to. Next time take more responsibility for your actions. ║ ║ And JdA, Manic has guts, you're just fluff. Your group doesn't ║ ║ necessarily represent you, but you always represent your group, and ║ ║ you're making a fool out of Reflux. I just hope that people will ║ ║ disregard your lame excuse for a rebuttal and listen to Manic's one. ║ ║ Reflux duped, they made an honest mistake, and did more than most groups ║ ║ would after a dupe, they apologized. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Midnight Avian ║ ║ Subject : "Is that box really important to you?" ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ It might sound kind of weird to pick a machine over your friends but ║ ║ to some of us, that's reality. How many of you spend more time on your ║ ║ computer than seeing your friends or talk to your friends? In the old ║ ║ days, you'd ask a friend for help when you were feeling upset. Nowadays ║ ║ you just start couriering your head off and you keep your problem to ║ ║ yourself. That's not healthy! I bet that most of you don't even need ║ ║ most of the stuff that you download! Maybe you'll want the odd game, ║ ║ maybe a ten mes release or so but comparing to the useless stuff you've ║ ║ couriered, it's nothing. At this rate, no one will even speak by the ║ ║ year 2000! Think about it! When you have a problem, talk about it with ║ ║ someone. Don't just type "/msg ???-DCC xdcc send #1"! ║ ║ ║ ║ I remember when I had a girlfriend, she would sometimes ask me, "Is ║ ║ that box really important to you?" I would just laugh and avoid the ║ ║ question. After all, what can I say? Should I say, "Yes, it's more ║ ║ important than you!" Or should I say, "Nah, I don't even use it that ║ ║ much!"? ║ ║ ║ ║ There's one thing you have to remember, you bought the computer and ║ ║ the computer is owned by YOU. Computers can be part of your life but ║ ║ shouldn't take over your life. If you're bored then fool around on the ║ ║ computer but if you've got something to do, do it! Don't play IRC and ║ ║ not do what you have to do. Life's short, have fun! Sex, party, ║ ║ movies, more sex is far more interesting than looking at the scene that ║ ║ changes images every second. ║ ║ ║ ║ Being a courier myself, sometimes I ask. "Why do I courier?" The ║ ║ answer is often unknown. People courier because of different reasons. ║ ║ Some people will be happy if they have fast warez to upload. Some ║ ║ people just do it because they have nothing better to do. Some people ║ ║ might think that couriers are jerks that have no life and just sit in ║ ║ front of the computer and wait for uploads and downloads to be done. I ║ ║ have three words for these people, "Shame on you!" Without these ║ ║ people, the files would not move around nearly as quickly as they do ║ ║ now, and also, if there were no couriers in the world, the warez scene ║ ║ would not grow as quickly as it has. ║ ║ ║ ║ My friend always tells me that I have no life when couriering and I ║ ║ say, "What is meant by no life, if it's not going out, then I do have a ║ ║ life because I go out with my friends a hell of a lot more than you!" ║ ║ You don't have to be in front of the computer when you courier, you can ║ ║ be watching TV, going out with friends, having sex. Even studying if ║ ║ you're bored enough! So next time you want to insult a courier, not ║ ║ like anyone would have the guts to because there are millions of ║ ║ couriers out there, just think twice about it. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ░▄▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄█▄▄▄▐███▌ ■▀▀░██▄ ▄▀▄▀▀█▄ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ 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.

The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The game was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ game will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Games Reviewed : 06/13/96 -> 06/19/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : -- Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : -- Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _____ _____ ____ _____ ________________ Release Score : 0 ║ ║ \_ | \ \/ / _ /__\_ \_/ _ \ Running Total : 0 ║ ║ | _ \_ \ _/ \ \ __/___/ | / / ║ ║ |___| |____|___/ /_\ \___|_______/ ║ ║ ::d|___|::::::.\___/.:.\___\::::::::: ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : NPMLB-01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 6-16-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ /\.

The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The game was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ game will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more.

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ 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. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The game was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ game will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Games Reviewed : 07/04/96 -> 07/10/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : -- Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : -- Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _____ _____ ____ _____ ________________ Release Score : 0 ║ ║ \_ | \ \/ / _ /__\_ \_/ _ \ Running Total : 0 ║ ║ | _ \_ \ _/ \ \ __/___/ | / / ║ ║ |___| |____|___/ /_\ \___|_______/ ║ ║ ::d|___|::::::.\___/.:.\___\::::::::: ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : NPMCC-01.ZIP Fix name : NPMCCFIX.ZIP ║ ║ Filedate : 7-07-96 Filedate : 7-11-96 ║ ║ ║ ║ /\.

Precision's was ║ ║ not cracked or cracked properly, and so Reflux took a crack at it <der ║ ║ get it?> and was able to make it work fine w/o the need for ║ ║ subst/fakecd. This is an adventure game involving many interactions ║ ║ with characters, and of course, as all good detectives do, looking and ║ ║ searching for clues. The graphics are ok, and you pretty much NEED the ║ ║ sound addon in order to play, or else you'll be walking around clueless. ║ ║ You really need the full cd for this one, in order to figure out the ║ ║ plot, because it uses movies or something that tell the plot (such as a ║ ║ guy getting killed) and you need to know what happened. It's hard to ║ ║ play with out them, because you're talking to a guy one minute, and the ║ ║ next you see he's dead on the floor, and you missed it all. One ║ ║ annoying thing was when the game tried to load the movies, it would get ║ ║ an error, you have to hit ok, and then escape too, and this gets to be ║ ║ very annoying. It might be a good game on CD, but it's not worth it to ║ ║ get this rip, because you're missing out on half the game. Unless you ║ ║ plan on buying this one and want to see what it's like, don't waste your ║ ║ time. ║ ║ ║ ║ RATING : 45/100 ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ ________________________/»|__/| ___________ ║ ║ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ ║ ║ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / ║ ║ |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ ║ ║ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ ║ ║ NUKE IT!

Ok now to use my language skills from 4th ║ ║ grade : The idiots who designed this stupid, dumb, crappy, game are a ║ ║ bunch of retarded, lame, slow learning, morons. I mean wtf is this ║ ║ boring junk? It's got this stupid planet, I think it's called Earth or ║ ║ something, and you click on the target thing on an area, then all of a ║ ║ sudden your the shit head alien up in some fucking spaceship with all ║ ║ those annoying bleeps and shit. I click on him twice and then the ║ ║ faggot rubs some pussy or some button, whatever it was, and then the ║ ║ pussy/button has an orgasm and gets all wet and turned green. Then I ║ ║ couldn't find any other pussy's or things like it to touch, except the ║ ║ exit button. The exit shit said this was disk 1 of 11 missions. I BEG ║ ║ OF YOU (RELEASE GROUPS), DO NOT PUT ANY MORE OF THIS GARBAGE OUT, SPARE ║ ║ US! If you really want it, then go tell your mom to give you 5 bucks ║ ║ and you can go buy the cool ID4 action hero and get the free mission ║ ║ disk. This game has very little resemblance to the movie, other than ║ ║ there is an alien flying a ship, and that the game is some crap packaged ║ ║ with the action figures from the movie. ║ ║ ║ ║ RATING : 17/100 ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ PAL ║ ║ The Legend of the ║ ║ Sword Hero ║ ║ [xX/12] ║ ║ ║ ║ Pal? Wasn't that from a B&B episode, like Positive Acting Losers or ║ ║ some shit? Stupid dickheads! Didn't say that this was chinese or ║ ║ whatever language it's in. Anyway, from what I was able to do, which is ║ ║ little because a lot of it is dialogue between characters, it's an rpg ║ ║ game. The gameplay is the kind where you walk into different rooms with ║ ║ an eagle eye view. So, unless you can speak whatever language this is ║ ║ in, don't bother. ║ ║ ║ ║ RATING : 37/100 ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ ──┤───────── █▓▒░ ───── ▄███ █████ ───┤── ║ ║ │ ██▓▒ ████ ████ └│ ║ ║ │ ████ ████ AND ▒▓███▌ │ ║ ║ │┌ ▀████████▀ ░▒▓█ │ ║ ║ ──├───────────────────────────────SH!─├── ║ ║ Legends, (c) Copyright Krisalis.

The game is mostly a ║ ║ combination of a picture backgrounds with movies of people as the ║ ║ interaction. The video animation isn't of high quality, but it does the ║ ║ job. Game's got a lot of zooming in on areas as the way of picking up ║ ║ stuff and/or using things. There's tons of stuff to do, and I'd ║ ║ estimate it would take about 10 hours to beat the game if you walked ║ ║ right through it with a walkthrough. Otherwise it would probably take ║ ║ several days, cuz it looks like a biggy. The story line is this : Your ║ ║ g/f tells you to meet her somewhere, you go there, hear shots, find her ║ ║ dead, and while your over her, someone takes a picture and gives it to ║ ║ the police, so they think your the murderer, and so your on the run.

Thanks to PSG for fixing the ║ ║ screwup! Just install according to the .nfo in the fixfile. If ya get ║ ║ something to the effect of: "wing32.dll not found" you need to install ║ ║ WinG32 included with the fix. DUH! :) ║ ║ ║ ║ Hmmm. I like it. Dunno why, but I like it. This isn't an action ║ ║ shooter, but gameplay is fast - due to the virus on your ass wanting to ║ ║ eat you up! It's more strategy than anything. Ya gotta move from block ║ ║ to block laying down tiles to walk on top of as you go. Simple enough. ║ ║ HA! You get a limited amount of tiles AND your previous tiles get eaten ║ ║ as you go. There's some special kinds of tiles that do different ║ ║ things, and you can grab power up items on your way to the end of the ║ ║ level. The music rocks with a techno rhythm, and there's clear ║ ║ understandable speech at the beginning of each level. The graphics are ║ ║ excellent but don't stop to admire them! There's even pan/zoom options ║ ║ to move the view around the game area. ║ ║ ║ ║ Points: 82 - All in all, not a bad game. It's definately different. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ /\. ║ ║ . ____ / >______. . _____.____ ____:. ║ ║ .: \ \ /_\___. \__::> /:\ Y /'96:. ║ ║ :: / . / \| __/ \:/ /__/ \ .: ║ ║ ./ \__/ " \ > " <______> \_/___>: ║ ║ `< /:<___\___>/___\___>. <_____>:. :. ║ ║ \/ .:. |/:. .:.mr! .:. .:: . ║ ║ CLOSE COMBAT FOR WINDOWS 95' ║ ║ (c) MICROSOFT [XX/11] ║ ║ ║ ║ /\. ║ ║ . ____ / >______. . _____.____ ____:. ║ ║ .: \ \ /_\___. \__::> /:\ Y /'96:. ║ ║ :: / . / \| __/ \:/ /__/ \ .: ║ ║ ./ \__/ " \ > " <______> \_/___>: ║ ║ `< /:<___\___>/___\___>. <_____>:. :. ║ ║ \/ .:. |/:. .:.mr! .:. .:: . ║ ║ CLOSE COMBAT AMAZING FIX [1/1] ║ ║ ║ ║ Ok, now this fix all by itself doesn't work. I was highly pissed off ║ ║ about it too, until Ionizer, Mr. Ereet himself /msg'd me this in IRC: ║ ║ *** Topic for #napalm: Close Combat Fix - ATTRIB -R *.* /S on the ║ ║ Install Directory. FINALLY, after all this fiddlefucken around, the game ║ ║ works. ║ ║ ║ ║ So, to install: Do everything according to the original .nfo (copy ║ ║ this fixed .exe instead of the original cracked one), then in the dir ║ ║ you ran setup from type "attrib -R *.* /S", try to run the game, when it ║ ║ craps out load up regedit and do that, then PLAY! ║ ║ ║ ║ As for the game itself, it pretty much kicks ass. This isn't your ║ ║ run of the mill overhead military battle sim. In most sims, you put ║ ║ troops here, hit a button, and poof they either win or lose. In this ║ ║ one, you can control your troops even after starting the battle (like ║ ║ you should be able to), and even tell specific people to do specific ║ ║ things (move here, aim there, etc..) You can be either side too. ║ ║ Germany pretty much defends and the good ole USA tries to take ║ ║ buildings, landmarks, whatever (umm what? so they can give em back ║ ║ later??) Your troops can get medals, promotions, etc for getting shot, ║ ║ or good work. I was kinda disappointed that I couldn't call in ║ ║ airstrikes, but we got old fashioned mortar maggots to do the job right. ║ ║ The sounds were excellent, you hear alot of shit all at once, ppl ║ ║ getting shot, radio chatter, mortar fire, tanks, and even a little ║ ║ german mixed in.. The help file wasn't included, but there is on-screen ║ ║ help during gameplay and alot of the stuff is self explanitory. Don't ║ ║ hit the news reel button after a mission either, it'll crap out looking ║ ║ for the video files. I only played through the first mission (I've ║ ║ still got 3 releases to review in about 9 hours, WHILE leechin my ass ║ ║ off..ughh), but this is definitely a keeper! ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : 83 - Get this and play this.

But in ║ ║ some ways, I think the Atari ver beat this one hands down. Ok, this has ║ ║ nice grafix and all, and you can design your chr's attributes, but the ║ ║ actual gameplay was pretty crappy. There just aren't enough controls. ║ ║ I was expecting a "fry out 2 joysticks in 8 hours" type of game, but all ║ ║ you do is click the mouse when your dude is sposed to do something (like ║ ║ jump, or throw..) Not a whole lot to say about this, pretty boring. ║ ║ Note: something screwy went on with the sounds, cuz during play, it ║ ║ would play sounds from a directX game called Subspace I play over the ║ ║ net.. Dunno?? ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : 51 - The only semi-redeeming quality was the grafix. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ _____ __ ______ _____ __ _____ ║ ║ / \/ | |__| | / _ \ ║ ║ / _ _ | _ |__| | | | \_ _/ ║ ║ / | | | || | \ / - \ ║ ║ \__|_|__/\____/ |__|___|\___\_____/ ║ ║ ----------------------------------- ║ ║ Lemmings for Win95 [o1/o1] ║ ║ ----------------------------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ Seeing releases like this makes me wonder why in hell I leech 50 disk ║ ║ games.

There's ║ ║ new levels and all the old ones too, good sound, good graphics (Lemmings ║ ║ STYLE!), and can be played doing anything in windows (I was leechin in ║ ║ QmodemPro while playing this, not one error). Options include sound ║ ║ on/off, level select, high/low rez, zoom, and a couple others. ║ ║ ║ ║ *><* Uninstall: It's a bitch. If you don't care about having ║ ║ "Lemmings.." in the add/remove box for the rest of your life, don't ║ ║ worry about it. I do care so..

The only ║ ║ thing I don't like is it being 50 disks, but ya get what ya leech I ║ ║ guess (hrmm sometimes). The grafix on this kicks a helluvalotta ass. ║ ║ Smooth animation.. I take that back, it's somehow better than smooth. ║ ║ It kinda reminds me of Pitfall for 95 but extremely realistic. The ║ ║ soundtrack from what I heard of it, has a damn hard beat to it. Kicked ║ ║ my AWE and woofers into overdrive. The plot starts out with you saving ║ ║ this half naked chic (w00h00) and finding out that you have to get out ║ ║ of the jungle alive while saving her father, who just happens to be the ║ ║ king. hmm Maybe I'll play this game to the end to see if ya get to bang ║ ║ her or not.. Just way too much good stuff to say about this game tho. ║ ║ In case you can't figure it out, try the tab, enter, and space keys. ║ ║ The mouse works as a pointer, but the right button takes ya back to the ║ ║ main menu. No real options to speak of, I do wish that it would go full ║ ║ screen at 800x600, but I ain't bitchin much, cuz this game ROCKS! ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : 91 - Leech this, and burn the install to CDRom! ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ - I do believe that about covers it for this week, cyall next week. ║ ║ - Greets out to: Kilmer, Arutha, Foul, V, Phat Phreddy, and the rest of ║ ║ k0k, BlackJac, Hels, Juan Juarez, Sherekhan, Chia, and all of the #W5 ║ ║ Network & Ionizer (thanks for the Close Combat fix!) ║ ║ - Special werd up to ALL people striving to make the scene what it ║ ║ should be. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ -<*><*> THE GAME OF THE WEEK <*><*>- ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ - Bermuda Syndrome is not eligible, and therefore can not win (that's ║ ║ what it means to be not eligible).

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!

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 : 07/04/96 -> 07/10/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : -- Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : -- Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 0 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 0 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ==================== [ DOD * 96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYDET01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-04-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ MicroSoft Detroit Build 1113 Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 3 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/35]\_____\_______>[07/04/96]=) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYFV401.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-04-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ FOLIO VIEWS v4.0 (c) STIRLING Previous Total : 3 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 7 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/13]\_____\_______>[07/04/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYQDB21.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-04-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ QUICKDB v2.0 FOR WIN (c) ATTACHMATE Previous Total : 7 ║ ║ ______.______._____._____._____ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ ¼< > __/ \__ < \½ Running Total : 11 ║ ║ __/ \__ __/__ ___> ║ ║ ½\______\____/ _/ \ _½ \pn ║ ║ (==[01/03]\_____\_______>[07/04/96]==) ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : PWAIMAG1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-07-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ ImageMan 5.01 Suite [1/2] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ ▄ ▀▀██▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ Release Score : 5 ║ ║ ▀█▄ ▀█▌▀█▄ ▐ ▄█▀ ▄▄██▌ A Group Running Total : 5 ║ ║ ▐█▌ ▐▌ ▐█ █▌▐█▌ ▄█▀ █ That Gives ║ ║ ▄██▌▄▀ ▄██▌▀██▌ ██ ▐▌ Slightly ║ ║ ▀███ ▀███ ▀█ ▐███▄▄ █ Less Than ║ ║ ▐█▌ ▐█▌ ▐▌ ▀██▀ ▀▄ A Fuck. ║ ║ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ -XeNf ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : RBSB2001.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-09-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ OS/2 Warp v4.0 aka OS/2 Merlin Build 20 Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _____________________________ __[01/53] Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ _ \_ ____/_ _ \_ ____/ |_\ ___/ Running Total : 3 ║ ║ / _/ ___)/ _/ ___) | \___ \ ║ ║ / | \_ | \ | \ | \ : \ : \ ║ ║ \___| /___ \____ \___ \___ \___ \ ║ ║ ====|__/===\__/===\__/==\__/==\__/==\__/ ║ ║ REBELS: WE MAKE ALL DAYS PARTY DAYS. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : XFTPRO01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-07-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ TriSpectives Pro -Full Cd- Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ ──────────────────────────────────[01/44]─ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ ▄██ ▄▄▄ ░ ▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄ Running Total : 4 ║ ║ █▓█ █▓█ ▒ ██▀ █▓█ █ █▓█ ██ █▓█ █ ███ ██ █▓ ║ ║ █▒█ █▒█ █░█ ▀▀ ▄█ █▒█ ██ █▒█ █ ▄▄▄ ██▄▄ ║ ║ ▄██▀██▄ ▀ █▒█▀▀▀ ██ █░█ ██ ▄▄█ █▓█ ██ ▄▄ ║ ║ █▒█ █▓█ ▓ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █░█ ██ ░ █▓█ █▒█ ██ █▓ ║ ║ ███ █▒█ ▒ ███ ▀█████▀▄██ ▒ ▀█████▀ ▀████ ║ ║ ─── ██▀ ░ ──────────────── ▓ ───── sikos ─ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : XF-TPAD1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-08-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ TriSpectives Pro -Images Add-On- Previous Total : 4 ║ ║ ──────────────────────────────────[01/04]─ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ ▄██ ▄▄▄ ░ ▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄ Running Total : 6 ║ ║ █▓█ █▓█ ▒ ██▀ █▓█ █ █▓█ ██ █▓█ █ ███ ██ █▓ ║ ║ █▒█ █▒█ █░█ ▀▀ ▄█ █▒█ ██ █▒█ █ ▄▄▄ ██▄▄ ║ ║ ▄██▀██▄ ▀ █▒█▀▀▀ ██ █░█ ██ ▄▄█ █▓█ ██ ▄▄ ║ ║ █▒█ █▓█ ▓ █▓█ ░ █▓█ █░█ ██ ░ █▓█ █▒█ ██ █▓ ║ ║ ███ █▒█ ▒ ███ ▀█████▀▄██ ▒ ▀█████▀ ▀████ ║ ║ ─── ██▀ ░ ──────────────── ▓ ───── sikos ─ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : XFCLSF01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-10-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ DEC CLUSTERS FOR WINDOWS NT Previous Total : 6 ║ ║ -

Then use those wires and insert them in the C-4. C-4 should then ║ ║ be carefully placed at the hood of the toilet at the bottom right. Then ║ ║ use the tape and tape it on the bottom and the top of the launcher to ║ ║ the bottom left of the hood. Now take the plug and hold it toward the ║ ║ outlet. Be sure not to pull out the wires when holding it. Now gently ║ ║ let it hang. Now again gently put the hood on so the hood bottom left ║ ║ is on the left corner closest toward you.

So when they ║ ║ gotta go (assuming you're over their house), say you wanna go first. ║ ║ Then stay there for 2 minutes doing my directions. ║ ║ ║ ║ Just go in the bathroom and carry this acid in a container of some ║ ║ sort. Then go through their cabinets and find yourself gloves. If you ║ ║ can't find gloves then do this, pour the acid around the BACK of the ║ ║ toilet. If you have gloves, it's much better (hurt them more), use the ║ ║ gloves and dip your finger in the container. Then put that drop of acid ║ ║ some where on the seat. Keep on doing that until you're able to cover ║ ║ the whole seat. The 1/5 is so that the guy shitting will not notice the ║ ║ acid until it burns.

My computer was getting more and more out dated each DAY. ║ ║ New stuff were coming in, and the old were just discarded. I'd search ║ ║ for money under the couch... only pennies. In my drawers... dimes here. ║ ║ Then I thought of using my computer. By the way, I know what your ║ ║ thinking. I'll answer it right now. No this is not one of those ║ ║ "Fill-out-the-form-as- number-10-and-send-in-$10-and-be-rich" deals, so ║ ║ listen up. I knew of this room on AOL. It was called "Carding". ║ ║ People use Credit Cards, which is other people's of course, and buy ║ ║ hardware, software, sluts, anything you can think up (even a car!). ║ ║ ║ ║ Some didn't want to go to the trouble of doing it, because they fear ║ ║ they might get caught, so they BUY carded stuff. A Pentium 133 mhz with ║ ║ 2.5 gigs and the whole works, for $500 is a good deal. They send listed ║ ║ out to people who go in the room. I made a list, and did the same ║ ║ thing, the list was big, the bigger, the more it'll be convincing. The ║ ║ deal was, send me half the money, get the product, send me the rest. I ║ ║ gave them my carding site (a neighbor's home, which they have gone out ║ ║ for the weekend, or for vacation), and they sent the money, I took the ║ ║ money, and never replied back. I made TONS of money that way. Follow ║ ║ me, and do it. If they say, "I'm gonna report you to the police!", you ║ ║ can reply, "Like I care, what can they do to me? You went and tried to ║ ║ buy illegal stuff." ║ ║ ║ ║ Ripping Phones Off ║ ║ ------------------ ║ ║ ║ ║ Note : Blueboxes can't do shit no more, so if you're trying, the only ║ ║ thing you'll get is the cool hardware, handcuffs. ║ ║ ║ ║ Call 0 and wait for the operator to come on. Say, "I'm at LaLaLand, ║ ║ and I keep putting in my quarters. They keep coming back. I need to ║ ║ tell my Mom/Dad/Aunt/whoever where to pick me up, and what time. Can ║ ║ you put me through? This is an Emergency!" They'll say, "Okay sure," ║ ║ tell them the number, and they'll dial it. Then you go through. Nice, ║ ║ eh? If the operator says to use collect, say "Okay", and hang-up. Dial ║ ║ 0 again and try your luck again. I've done this at the airport. Very ║ ║ nice. Many operators give away many free calls. :) ║ ║ ║ ║ Another way : ║ ║ ------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ This is the same way as ripping off Coke machines. Get a train ║ ║ schedule, go to the tracks five minutes before it comes. Get TONS of ║ ║ nickels and lay them on the tracks. Wait for train to run over them. ║ ║ After, pick them up. They should be flat pieces of metal now. Notice ║ ║ how they are the size of quarters. Now use them! ║ ║ ║ ║ How to Get Money FROM Payphones ║ ║ ------------------------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ You must select a phone that you can have access to its wires. Look ║ ║ for a plastic shroud running down the wall, or the junction box outside! ║ ║ On a normal phoneline, only two wires are used, ring and tip (red and ║ ║ green). The payphone uses the red and green for its telephone ║ ║ operations, but it also uses the yellow and black to control the coin ║ ║ mechanism. Find a section of the wire where a cut will not be easily ║ ║ seen. Strip off the insulation of the cord, exposing the four wires. ║ ║ Now, get out the all purpose wire cutters or finger nail clippers if you ║ ║ like, and cut the black and yellow wires. Now just sit back and let ║ ║ people use the phone! ║ ║ ║ ║ What Happens? Well, when you put money into a payphone, it stays in ║ ║ the coin mechanism until one of two things happen. Either you connect ║ ║ your call, talk, and hangup; after you hangup, your money goes to the ║ ║ collection box. The only way to get the money then is to rip the box ║ ║ out! Or, you call a number that doesn't answer, or get busy signal, or ║ ║ something like that, and then hangup. When you hangup, the money goes ║ ║ from the coin mechanism to the coin return. ║ ║ ║ ║ That is the key! After the black and yellow wires have been cut, ║ ║ the money goes neither to the coin box or coin return! It just sits ║ ║ there! All you have to do is come back at like 3:00 am in the morning, ║ ║ reconnect the black & yellow wires, pick up the handset and put it back ║ ║ down. ║ ║ ║ ║ All the money that was put in that phone that day comes shooting out ║ ║ the coin return, just like in the movies! It is the COOLEST FEELING! I ║ ║ have collected up to $100 a day doing this to phones all around town! ║ ║ ║ ║ There are some dangers to doing this. The people that put money in ║ ║ and don't get connected or get a busy signal and hang up do NOT get ║ ║ their money back. Usually they will call the operator who in turn calls ║ ║ the repair department. That is why it is important to cut the wire ║ ║ where it cannot be seen. But if you want to do this as a one time ║ ║ thing, GO FOR IT! Oh yes, alternate phones every other couple of days ║ ║ or so. Stay on your toes and watch out for white vans! If someone sees ║ ║ you taking money out of the coin return like getting $15 in change out ║ ║ of a phone is not common! Just say you hung up the phone and all this ║ ║ money started pouring out! It doesn't hurt to give them a little of it ║ ║ either! After a month or two the phone companies catch on, so I do not ║ ║ recommend using one phone for over two weeks. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄█ ▐ r c n ▄▄█ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ██▌ ██▌ █▀▀▄▄ ▀█▌ ▄██▀ ■ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▀▄▄░█▄▀▀ ▐██ ▐██▐█▌ ▀▀ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌■▀▄▄▀▀██▌ ░ ░░ ░░ ██▌▄░▀██▌█▌▄ ▄█▀▄▄█▄▄ ▄▀ ▄▀██▄ ░░ ░ ▄██▀ ███▌░▀ ░░░░░ ░░ ░ ▐██ ▐██▐█ ▐█▌ ▀███▌▐█▐▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄█ ▐███ ▄▄█ ██▌ ██▌█ ▀██▄ ▀ ▄████▀ ▀█▄ ██▌ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ░█▀ ▄░█▀█▌ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▐ ▐██▄ ▀▀▀ ▀██▌ ▀▌ ▀░ ▀ h a c k e r z c o r n e r ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Trip ║ ║ Subject : Salting Coke Machines ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Salting Soda machines is a fast, easy way of making small amounts of ║ ║ money and getting free sodas. Here are the materials that you will need ║ ║ to do it : ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.) Salt (About a big handfull is enough) ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) Some soda (Squirt is best, but Sprite and Coke will work) ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) Something to get the mixture into the soda machine. (I like to ║ ║ use a ziplock bag or a balloon.) ║ ║ ║ ║ 4.) A soda machine located where nobody is around. ║ ║ ║ ║ First off, you will need to find a soda machine where nobody is ║ ║ around. I use one down at the far corner of my High School because ║ ║ nobody ever goes down there. Now to salt the machine, you will need to ║ ║ mix up the Soda (Squirt is best, because it's more acidic) with the salt ║ ║ in a plastic ziplock bag, and close it. Make a hole in one of the ║ ║ corners of the bag, (in the opposite end of where the bag closes) and ║ ║ shake the bag so the soda and salt mix together. Now put the end of the ║ ║ corner with the hole in it in the dollar bill slot in the soda machine. ║ ║ Squeeze the bag so the mixture comes out into the dollar bill slot. It ║ ║ usually takes a 5-10 seconds of squirting it in before you hear a click ║ ║ and a whole bunch of quarters come out the coin return. So now you have ║ ║ about 4-5 bucks in quarters. Well press one of the soda buttons and a ║ ║ soda or two should come out. Now you've got about 5 bucks and a couple ║ ║ free sodas. Damn you could make a living off this shit. ║ ║ ║ ║ I recommend covering up your tracks when you are done. If you made ║ ║ an obvious mess, then you should clean it up a little. You dont have to ║ ║ clean the whole fucking machine spotless, but just wipe the salt off. ║ ║ This trick is cool because it wont fuck up the soda machine or anything, ║ ║ so you can do it as many times as you want. Have phun. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ■▄▄█ ▄▄░█▄▄ ██▌ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▐██ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ██▌ r c n ▄███ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ ▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▐█▀▀ ▄███▄░█▀ ██▌ ░▀ ▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀██▌ ░▄█▀ ░ ░░ ▀ ▐██ ▄██▀ ░ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ▀░▐██▌▀ ░░░░░░░░░▐██ ░░░░ ░░░ ██▌░ ░░ ░▀ ░░░ ▐█▌ ▄██▌▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ██░▄ ██▌ ▐██ ▀██▄ ▄████ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄██▀ ▐██▄ ██▌ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀▀░▄▀ ▀ ▀░ ▐██▄ d e a r r o a d r e b e l ! ▀░ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Welcome to Dear Road Rebel!

How ║ ║ do you know when to limit your time on the net/online services? I feel ║ ║ that you should maybe spend 30 minutes to an hour online a day or you ║ ║ are neglecting your life because you should go outside and have alittle ║ ║ fun! How many hours can one spend just talking to people no matter how ║ ║ cool they are? If you are afraid your group will dump you if you aren`t ║ ║ there just get online leave your computer and mark yourself as away how ║ ║ hard is that? ║ ║ ║ ║ People have to realize that there is something more than computers ║ ║ in life. Computers were made to enhance life not to take it over! ║ ║ Communicate physically outside or just take a break. Maybe just ║ ║ download all them warez and just chill! I think the Internet is great ║ ║ but it can be destructive because so many people take it too seriously. ║ ║ Everything is good but once you get too much of something it doesn`t ║ ║ seem as fun. So also to prolong your enjoyment of the Internet I ║ ║ suggest limiting your time. Another thing that seems funny to me is how ║ ║ many people just call bbs`s all day I thknk that is too much to. ║ ║ ║ ║ For instamce when someone calls my board and hangs up if I am here I ║ ║ might call another board and then they are online there!! Come on how ║ ║ much bbsing can one person do a day just too look at files and stuff ║ ║ like that! Maybe I am just lost or something but I think people have to ║ ║ limit the time they spend online and get some social skills so you don`t ║ ║ have to have CyberSex.

Listen ║ ║ to your peers and this new start will prove beneficial in the long run. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ <Aquarius> (January 21 to February 19) : You have too much going for you ║ ║ to be stopped by a minor setback. In fact, a careful reading ║ ║ between the lines could bring you major gains. Recognize ║ ║ your superiors, a partner, or a close companion, and take ║ ║ nothing for granted. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Pisces> (February 20 to March 20) : A romantic adventure or aesthetic ║ ║ group enterprise beckons, and it is up to you to weigh the ║ ║ possible benefits against the potential hazards. Monday's New ║ ║ Moon in the recreational angle of your solar chart will give ║ ║ you a much-needed chance to hone your talents as a team player. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Aries> (March 21 to April 20) : An encounter with someone or something ║ ║ from the past may necessitate a change of plans, but the rewards ║ ║ will be worth any temporary inconvenience. An unexpected treat ║ ║ mid-week will help you forget a recent disappointment. Postpone ║ ║ major decisions about joining or leaving a group until Mercury ║ ║ and Saturn unite next weekend. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Taurus> (April 21 to May 21) : Confusion over group arrangements and ║ ║ policies may turn out to be a blessing in disguise. What ║ ║ transpires around the time of Monday's New Moon will enable you ║ ║ to enlist the support of someone close to you. Don't ignore a ║ ║ stray remark. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Gemini> (May 22 to June 21) : You may have trouble keeping pace this ║ ║ week, especially after your ruler Mercury switches signs on ║ ║ Tuesday. This is the perfect time to streamline your day to ║ ║ day routine, but first find out what a loved one has planned. ║ ║ Don't push, tact will serve your purposes better. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Cancer> (June 22 to July 23) : A new chapter is about to open and you ║ ║ must be ready to juggle existing commitments if you're going to ║ ║ make the most of opportunities. Monday's New Moon in your ║ ║ birth sign means that you are the one best positioned to call ║ ║ the shots. Be wary of unsolicited advice. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Leo> (July 24 to August 23) : There appear to be too many distractions ║ ║ in your life just now, and too many demands on your time. Once ║ ║ Mercury enters your birth sign on Tuesday, you will be better ║ ║ placed to tackle a personal or professional problem. Put off a ║ ║ new project until the end of the week. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Virgo> (August 24 to September 23) : Celestial configurations affecting ║ ║ your ruler Mercury will enable you to concentrate on your ║ ║ material and emotional needs. A romantic liaison or creative ║ ║ venture may have surprising results. Don't be afraid to wave ║ ║ goodbye to a familar channel or group. It will be replaced by ║ ║ something far more rewarding. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Libra> (September 24 to October 23 ) : The sky's the limit, and ║ ║ Monday's New Moon at the midheaven point of your solar chart ║ ║ will help you fulfill a longtime promise to yourself. That ║ ║ said, however, be prepared to look beneath the surface. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Scorpio> (October 24 to November 22) : You seem to be becoming ║ ║ increasingly involved with other people's problems and would ║ ║ do well to take a few steps back. Your ruler Pluto, supported ║ ║ by Mercury on Tuesday, is giving you a chance to resolve a ║ ║ group matter. Make the most of it. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Sagittarius> (November 23 to December 21) : At last you are in position ║ ║ to make a decision that is long overdue. Some alterations ║ ║ may be required as time passes, but for the moment, just ║ ║ get things going. A change of scenery is possible now, ║ ║ but be sure you're moving on for the right reasons. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Capricorn> (December 22 to January 20) : Someone important is trying to ║ ║ attract your attention, but you need to respond cautiously. ║ ║ Meanwhile, an issue with your warez affiliates must be ║ ║ resolved before your ruler, Saturn, shifts direction on ║ ║ Thursday. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ░▄▄▄ ▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ r c n ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▀▀██▄ ██▄ ███ ▐██▌ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ██▌ ░▄ ▐██ ▐██▌ ▄ ███ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ███▄▐░▀ ▀██▄ ░░ ░░ ██ ░░ ▄██▌ ██▀░▐██▀▀ ░▐██▌░░▐██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ░░ ░▐████▐▌░░ ▐██▌░ ██▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ██▌ ██░ ▄░█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ █████ █▄ ▀█▄ ▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▐█████▌ ▀▀■▀▐█░ ▀░ ▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▀██▄ w a r e i q t e s t ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Test your knowledge of the WAREZ SCENE!

Can you send over a copy? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Do you want an interview or something? We're not calling it ║ ║ anything new. We're not making a big deal of it? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> What is your e-mag going to be called? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Of course I can't send it. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Which e-mag did you run again? Wasn't it called Retro or ║ ║ something? Wait, didn't you guys run Inquisition? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I never ran Retro. It was lame. We guys were nothing. We guys ║ ║ are everything. It is we guys. Fuck that, it is me guys. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> What the hell are you babbling? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I brought Inquisition to life and it is still me who will keep ║ ║ it alive. You remember me now? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Oh yeah... ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> It could be claimed as sad. For every man in the United States ║ ║ know Washington, Jefferson, and Adams. And yet you do not know ║ ║ those which preceeded you. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Are you talking about Inquistion preceeding RCN? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Yes. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> So Inquisition preceeded RCN? I guess, I forget, but we ║ ║ came from monkeys, so Inquisition is the monkey? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Monkeys is not what we came from. Monkeys is what we will be. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> If you say so, you can call yourself a monkey. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> From the words of Einstein, "I know not what weapons World War 3 ║ ║ will be fought with, but I know that World War 4 will be fought ║ ║ with sticks and stones." ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Are you trying to sound smart? You're not impressing me. ║ ║ Do you want me to quote Einstein? I can do that too, ║ ║ "E=mc^2," impressive hey? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> It is very unfortunate that you begin to insult, it was the ║ ║ wrong move on your part. You've made the move. You will get ║ ║ the fall. You will get the fall. Your pathetically lame e-mag ║ ║ which supposedly represents the scene has increased its ║ ║ monitored circulation to about 1200 readers. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I'm falling outta ma chair, help.. I can't get up. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> It is time when the rock of ages falls onto the age of rocks. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> So how big is Inquisition's "monitored circulation?" Do you ║ ║ still find people reading it now? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I will simply ask you a series of questions. Weather you reply ║ ║ to them, is your choice. I speak not of Inquisition, which at ║ ║ its low had more information than RCN at its high. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Woo, a test? Scary! Go ahead and ask me some questions. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I don't give tests. I simply look for a key, a way to see what ║ ║ you are, who you are, and weather you are what you claim to be. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> So how big is Inquisition's "monitored circulation?" I'd ║ ║ like to know that information if you're going to say that ║ ║ RCN is pathetically lame. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> We are not talking about e-mags, but if you wish to compare, ║ ║ Inquisition was read by an average of 4000 scene members, a ║ ║ majority of which were a part of the top elite. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Well, you're the one bragging about Inquisition. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I did not even mention Inquisition more than twice. That is not ║ ║ the object of my talk with you. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Wait, a majority of the 4000 Inquisition readers represent ║ ║ the top elite? A majority is anything over half of the ║ ║ whole right? So 2001 people are part of the top elite? ║ ║ This must be a very big scene then. By the way, weather is ║ ║ spelled whether. I thought I should point that out to you ║ ║ since you are an editor of an e-mag. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I know this may sound awkward as a request, but please refrain ║ ║ from asking questions at this point. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Uhh... ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I am not an editor of an e-mag. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I thought you were the sole person keeping Inquisition ║ ║ alive, that's what you said earlier right? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I should also point out that it is 4 am and I am sitting in ║ ║ total darkness and cannot even take responsibility for half the ║ ║ shit I type. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Well, you could claim that you are just stupid and not take ║ ║ responsibility for what you type. You don't have to give ║ ║ excuses. So, are you interviewing me? Or are you just ║ ║ going to ask me a series of questions? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> This is not an interview. I will not publish this or show this ║ ║ to anyone. I have virtually no enemies in the scene, nor do I ║ ║ plan to make any. I could claim stupidity, but that would be a ║ ║ minor insult on your part which is worth nothing to me, and ║ ║ simply degrading to you. I shall begin. Will you answer my ║ ║ questions, or will you not? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I won't know until I see the questions. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> An answer of a scared man? Very well, I shall proceed. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> That was an answer of a prudent man. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Why thanks, that's the first half polite thing you said. My ║ ║ first question, what is RCN? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> RCN stands for Reality Check Network. It's an e-mag, read ║ ║ it and find out. You can find RCN on the WWW. The RCN web ║ ║ site is located at http://www.rcn.org. WWW stand for the ║ ║ World Wide Web. You can get on the WWW through America ║ ║ Online. Anything else you need help with? So, do you have ║ ║ more questions? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I would like to have you know that at this point, I know more ║ ║ about the Internet than you probably ever will unless you ║ ║ seriously get into networking and spend the next 20 years in ║ ║ front of a keyboard. I'll rephrase my question. What do YOU ║ ║ think RCN is, from the viewpoint of an editor? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> RCN is an e-mag. You can buy magazines at Safeway and ║ ║ stuff, but you see, RCN is special, you know why? Because ║ ║ it's not like a newspaper, it's coded. It's not in text, ║ ║ and also, it's freely distributed. By the way, when I infer ║ ║ that RCN is coded, I don't mean to sound degrading to your ║ ║ e-mag Inquisition because it was only a text file, don't ║ ║ take it the wrong way. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Let me once again restate my question. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Okay, if you want to. I guess I'll just have to restate my ║ ║ answer. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I am simply trying to justify or refute my cause for restarting ║ ║ Inquisition. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Oh please, do restart Inquisition. You have my uh... ║ ║ blessing. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I am thankful however, that you are turning to a brighter side. ║ ║ The only thing I've said so far that comes close to insulting ║ ║ anyone is calling RCN pathetically lame, so let's not go on with ║ ║ the insults, ok? What is the purpose of RCN to the scene, to ║ ║ yourself personally? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Aren't you going to rephrase your first question? I already ║ ║ rephrased my answer again, I made it simpler so you could ║ ║ understand. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I understood quite well, thank you. Unless you are blind, which ║ ║ I am sure you are not, you already read my next question. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Okay, to answer your second question, I personally see RCN ║ ║ doing what all magazines in real life do, magazines reach in ║ ║ a different manner to every reader. Every reader gets ║ ║ something different out of reading Times or Newsweek, so ║ ║ different readers get something different out of RCN each ║ ║ week. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I see, but what I am asking is, more specifically, why are you ║ ║ making RCN? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Well, why didn't you just ask me that earlier? I do RCN ║ ║ because it's fun. I like doing it. I see no reason to ║ ║ stop, if I stop doing RCN, no other e-mags will be able to ║ ║ replace it. RCN is one of a kind, no other e-mags have come ║ ║ close to being as widely read as RCN, so why should I stop? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Next question... ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> It's okay, go ahead, you can ask me another question. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> If I recall correctly, in one of your e-mags, you claimed the ║ ║ scene to be lame, and oficially resigned. What inspired you to ║ ║ come back? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I saw that all the other cheap imitations of RCN sucked. ║ ║ None of them were even widely supported by the scene both at ║ ║ the top or at the bottom. They were all acting like they ║ ║ were pompous asshole gods (much the same way you act), so I ║ ║ decided to restart RCN and show them a real e-mag. I ║ ║ thought that when RCN first died in issue 13 that other ║ ║ e-mags would spring up to take its place, other e-mags did ║ ║ do so, but none could really replace RCN's quality. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Do you know that other e-mags were around before RCN? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Yeah, I also know for sure that other people in the world ║ ║ had computers before I bought mine, and that the sun rises ║ ║ and sets even when I'm not looking at it. I don't put ║ ║ myself in the center of the universe the way you do. I ║ ║ don't have a Napoleon complex. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Next question, if RCN is scene related, then why did you begin ║ ║ the girlfriend bits? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> We didn't BEGIN with girlfriend bits. The girlfriend bits ║ ║ were found in Mad-RCN, a submenu of RCN that is meant to be ║ ║ humorous and can relate to anything. The majority of the ║ ║ e-mag does not revolve around girlfriend bits. Also, I do ║ ║ remember that your e-mag Inquisition did have one article ║ ║ about buying gloves as Christmas presents, and that article ║ ║ did take up a large portion of one of your Inquisition ║ ║ issues. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I remember Inquisition very well. It had some major downfalls. ║ ║ And I am not doubting in the least that at its worst, ║ ║ Inquisition was not nearly as good as RCN is now. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Yea, the whole thing was a downfall. Didn't you say earlier ║ ║ that Inquisition, at its low, had more content than RCN does ║ ║ now? You said that like 5 minutes ago, I can scroll back. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> No I didn't. I said that at its worse, Inquisition was still ║ ║ better than RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> You sure about that? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Please, I asked you before, do not ask questions. Let me do the ║ ║ asking, my next question, why did you include Crack's articles ║ ║ in RCN that were put in the submenu Hacker's Corner? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Well, Crack submitted them an he wanted a new hacking ║ ║ section. We saw no reason why not to. There are already ║ ║ tons of hacking related text files floating around on the ║ ║ Internet. I remembered that we have the freedom of speech, ║ ║ so we put it in. A lot of the readers thought it ║ ║ informative and fun to read, so we are keeping the new ║ ║ Hacker's Corner as subsection to RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> But you DO realize the guy has no idea what he is talking about, ║ ║ right? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I tried his first method at my local Safeway, it didn't ║ ║ work. I tried his other methods and I ended up making some ║ ║ pocket change from taking advantage of his methods. So I ║ ║ take it that he does know what he's talking about. Also, ║ ║ when I insult you (as you put it), I insult you in front of ║ ║ you. If you want to insult Crack, you can go insult him. ║ ║ Insulting him in front of me doesn't really make much sense. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I'm not insulting him. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> But you DO realize the you have no idea what you are talking ║ ║ about, right? Don't you dare be so stupid as to say I ║ ║ didn't just insult you there. You do see the parallel ║ ║ between what I just said to you, and what you said to Crack? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Are you threatening me now? I had nothing malicious on my mind. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Yeah, you just a bunch of rocks in your head. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> You continue to insult me? Why do you think I don't like you? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Because I don't worship you like all your other goons. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Next 2 questions, who worships me? Who are my goons? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> You think that everyone should be kissing your ass, and when ║ ║ I don't kiss your ass, you get mad. You expect everyone to ║ ║ be your goon, and you expect everyone to worship you and ║ ║ kiss your ass. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> ehhh ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> ehhh ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> You didn't answer the questions I asked. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Yeah I did. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I asked, who worships me? You did not reply. I asked, who are ║ ║ my goons? You did not reply. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> You think that everyone should be kissing your ass, and when ║ ║ I don't kiss your ass, you get mad. You expect everyone to ║ ║ be your goon, and you expect everyone to worship you and ║ ║ kiss your ass. There, I retyped my answer. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Who worships me? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Read the first part of my reply, and use that rock brain of ║ ║ yours along with your knowledge of the English language to ║ ║ deduce. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Okay, please name one person who worships me. You claim to know ║ ║ me very well, you even know what I expect of people, please name ║ ║ one person who worships me. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I guess you can't read or you just don't have a brain. I'll ║ ║ type out the first part for you, "You think that everyone ║ ║ should be kissing your ass," please read this. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Give me a name, a handle, a nick... ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> "You think that EVERYONE should be kissing your ass," in ║ ║ other words, you think that anyone you meet should be ║ ║ kissing your ass... Bob, John, Rebel Chicken, Bill, Jack, ║ ║ etc, should I go on? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> How do you know what I expect? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I look at what you say to other people and how you treat me. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Okay, next question, I have about 5 more questions left for you. ║ ║ Do you ever change your mind/opinion? ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Yeah, I used to think this girl Emily was really cute. ║ ║ Hitex, the other RCN editor has been telling me the whole ║ ║ time how pimple infested she was, but I thought she was ║ ║ still cute, then I got glasses and I saw that her face was ║ ║ all warped and stuff. I also think you're stupid, but every ║ ║ now and then, I start to realize that you're even more ║ ║ stupid than what I thought you were before. So my answer ║ ║ is, yes, I do change my mind/opinion. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> ehhh ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> So, only 4 more questions left? I have to wake up in just a ║ ║ few hours, so I'd like to get some sleep. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I only have one more question for you, can you attempt, while ║ ║ talking seriously, to stop acting like you're at war with me and ║ ║ become my friend? If no, why? If yes, ask your questions, you ║ ║ said you had some. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Is that your last question? Well, you're the one who joined ║ ║ channel #RCN saying that you were scoping out the ║ ║ competition. You're the one who started calling RCN ║ ║ pathetically lame. You're the one who implied that Crack is ║ ║ a fucking dumbass because you assume that he doesn't know ║ ║ what he's talking about, should I go on? So why shouldn't I ║ ║ treat you the same way you treat me? The truth is, you're ║ ║ really not that interesting to chat with, so I'd like to get ║ ║ some sleep. If that hurts your feelings as a god, too bad. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I said that I was scoping out the competition to get your ║ ║ attention. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Sure you did... ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I asked about Crack to see if you would support his statements. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Wow? You're revealing your master plan? Cool! One last ║ ║ thing before I go, please do restart Inquisition. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> Maybe you should listen more carefully and notice that I am ║ ║ extending a hand not a sword. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> A hand? Yeah, a hand that you can use to shove up my ass. ║ ║ I don't like my ass getting all bloody, so thanks but no ║ ║ thanks. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> ehhh ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Yea, go do your Beavis and Butthead moan. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lurch> I honestly thought you understood that I was attempting to make ║ ║ a friend. It is quite unfortunate that you do not see it. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I consider you what you are. I am not easily blinded when a ║ ║ wolf comes in sheep's clothing.

I'm one of the ║ ║ RCN editors, is there anything I can help you with? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> I have a proposition for you. You're getting a lot of heat ║ ║ from the warez groups. The programming in RCN is /<-Rad, but ║ ║ RCN articles are not warez based. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> If RCN articles are not warez based, why would the warez ║ ║ groups be giving me heat? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> I would like to help you get some support from the warez scene. ║ ║ Don't talk down to me like that. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Stop jerking around and get to the point, I'm in a bit of a ║ ║ hurry. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> I would like to be an editor, so that I can read over future ║ ║ issues of RCN before its published. I'd like to check over ║ ║ things and then tell you if what you print is /<-Rad and shit. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Sorry, but your offer is rejected. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> I would like to know why you're rejecting my proposition. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> I would like to know why you'd expect me to accept your ║ ║ proposition. You have no idea how to run an e-mag. Why ║ ║ would we put you in RCN as an editor? There are dozens of ║ ║ other RCN members in line for an editor position before you ║ ║ would even be considered. You're not even a member, you ║ ║ can't just waltz into channel #RCN and expect to become an ║ ║ editor. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> I know how the fucking scene runs. You guys don't have any ║ ║ support from the warez groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Nobody is asking you to support RCN. If you don't like it, ║ ║ then don't read it. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> The warez groups hate you. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> So what? Anytime I say something, there's always someone ║ ║ from some warez group that gets pissed about. I'm not ║ ║ afraid to back up what I say. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> The only people that read RCN are people who like to "pir8" ║ ║ because they think they are rebels. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> If what you say is true, then why do warez groups give me ║ ║ heat about things if they don't read RCN? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> Bah, they read it because the programing rawks, but the fact ║ ║ is, it's not supported. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> So they download RCN each week to read the programming? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> If you could get them to back you, then you would fucking rock. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Yeah, I would fucking rock, but I'd be running nothing more ║ ║ than a message service for them. I'll be a puppet for them ║ ║ printing shit that they want people to read. I'd have to ║ ║ fucking suck up to all of them and turn a blind to any lame ║ ║ shit they might do. I don't expect to be censored by big ║ ║ warez groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> I know. By the way, did you know that issue 21 didn't work. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Great, then you didn't have to read it. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> Bah, you don't have any background in the warez scene. Maybe ║ ║ if you had some people in RCN who knows about how the scene ║ ║ works, then you would get support and more people from warez ║ ║ groups to read it. Another thing, you're an asshole. I come ║ ║ to you nice and polite, but you reject my proposition. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Just because you come to me nice and polite does not mean I ║ ║ have to accept your proposition. I can go up to Bill Gates ║ ║ and ask him nicely for a billion dollars, but I doubt he'd ║ ║ actually give me any money. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> I'm not listening to what my friends say and you start ║ ║ bitching. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> You are welcome to submit articles if you want. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> You should at least not be an asshole about it, you fucking ║ ║ cock sucker. I hope you die. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Great... ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> You just made an enemy you faggot. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Thanks for being so nice and polite. I'm glad I rejected ║ ║ your proposition then, I wouldn't want an immature kid like ║ ║ you trying to help run RCN. What part of NO don't you ║ ║ understand? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> Bah, I'm not the one being immature about it. You started it ║ ║ you fool. ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> All right, now you're pissing me off. Go ahead and act like ║ ║ a 10 year old saying shit like, "You started it! No, you ║ ║ started it! NO, YOU started it! It's your fault! No, it's ║ ║ your fault! NO, it's YOUR fault!" ║ ║ ║ ║ <Lestat> Bah... ║ ║ ║ ║ <RblChickn> Bah?

Put up a board called The Trading Post and put an advertisement ║ ║ in your local computer magazine that says, "Free Warez Here!" ║ ║ ║ ║ 9.) Go to your local computer store with a pile of 5¼ disks and ║ ║ start copying software off the display computers. When they ║ ║ tell you that it's illegal say, "Oh, I thought it was ║ ║ shareware." ║ ║ ║ ║ 8.) Get on America Online and join WarezChat. Say "AN33 N00 W4R3Z, ║ ║ d00dZ?" ║ ║ ║ ║ 7.) Get warez? Fuck that. Trade 0 day PORN! ║ ║ ║ ║ 6.) Make sure you know how to type in all the new forms of K-RAD. ║ ║ ║ ║ 5.) Get all COPS (Couriers of Pirated Software) releases. People ║ ║ REALLY want those PhoneDisc installation files. ║ ║ ║ ║ 4.) When you are trading ftp sites, give them 4 random numbers. ║ ║ Works every time. ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) Make sure you know all the good IRC offering channels. Right ║ ║ now, the best one is #0. ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) Whenever somebody asks you for software say, "I don't have that ║ ║ but I have all the releases of SimCity 2000!" ║ ║ ║ ║ And the number 1 reason is : ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.)

Now speed ║ ║ through the icon driven interface to scan back issues of RCN and ║ ║ other emags, send comments, read credits, and check out ║ ║ merchandise and free files. ║ ║ ║ ║ ■ Text or JAVA Version : Whatever browser you use can now access the ║ ║ RCN.org pages. Before only Netscape was allowed, but now LYNX and ║ ║ other text base users can now access the pages. ║ ║ ║ ║ ■ New Look Graphics : The new graphics style are a nice change of ║ ║ pace from the hard-edged style of before. ║ ║ ║ ║ To become a file mirror, contact us in #RCN on IRC, you must be able ║ ║ to store all back issues in a publically accessible directory from the ║ ║ WWW. A link will be created from RCN.org to your site, so users can ║ ║ acquire issues from there if the main site becomes overloaded. ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN WWW Site : http://www.rcn.org/ ║ ║ ║ ║ RCN Mirror Site #1 : http://www.halcyon.com/sbecker ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄░█▄▄ ■▄▄█ ░▄▄▄ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀██▌ r c n ██▌ ▐███▌ ▄▄█ ▄█▀▀▀▀░▄ ▄█▀ ▀ ▀█▌ ▄▄■▄▄ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ██▌▄▄░▀ ▀▀█▄▄▄ ▀▀ ░ ░░▐█▌ ░░░░ ░░░▐▄▄ ░ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄▄ ░ ██▌░ ███▄ ▄▐██ ░░░ ░▀███▄ ░░ ░░ ░ ▀██▄ ▄████▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄▄▐██▌▄░▄██ ▐████ ██▌ ████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀▄▄ ▀██▄ ▄█▀ ▄██▀ ▀ ▐█ █████ ▐██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▀░ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄█▐█████▌ ▐██▌▀▀▀▀░▄▄▄███▀ c r e d i t s ! ▄▄▄ ▄██▌▀▀▀░██▌ ░█▀ ▀▀▀ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ Hitex : Editor ║ ║ Rebel Chicken : Editor ║ ║ ║ ║ *Xenon : ASM/MOD ║ ║ ║ ║ *Celestian : VGA/ANSI ║ ║ Interpol : VGA ║ ║ Pandemonium : VGA ║ ║ ║ ║ Darkwing : IRC Security ║ ║ Undinism : IRC Maintenance ║ ║ ║ ║ RATM : Webmaster ║ ║ ║ ║ Ionizer : The Game Review ║ ║ ║ ║ Double O Zero : Writer ║ ║ Midnight Avian : Writer ║ ║ TRC : Writer ║ ║ The Rippa : Writer ║ ║ Road Rebel : Writer ║ ║ Tuxedo Mask : Writer ║ ║ Zima Man : Writer ║ ║ ║ ║ Web Site : http://www.rcn.org/ ║ ║ Email : AN385786@ANON.PENET.FI ║ ║ ║ ║ * = No longer taking requests outside RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
