And so we'd ║ ║ like to stay! To meet further reader demand, the staff has decided that ║ ║ RCN will now be released on a biweekly schedule. There won't be any ║ ║ less material found in each issue, the material will just be of even ║ ║ higher quality! RCN will be released every other Sunday. We believe ║ ║ that by giving ourselves more time between the release of each issue, we ║ ║ will be able to release a better RCN, and at the same time, the extra ║ ║ time will help create a more positive and less hectic work environment ║ ║ for the RCN Staff. ║ ║ ║ ║ 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, ║ ║ ║ ║ It happened on the 17th of July when I was in a bad mood and took ║ ║ over channel #CD because I was auto-opped there.

In this interview, the ║ ║ interviewer, Rebel Chicken, claimed that he strictly stayed away from ║ ║ supplying warez because he felt he might become biased when he ║ ║ interviewed people. However, in the same article, the interview ║ ║ continuously shows bias against an ex-head of Razor, namely, TRC (The ║ ║ Renegade Chemist). ║ ║ ║ ║ I, being from the same area code from TRC, do know that some times ║ ║ he can be a bit "rude" towards people he doesn't like or that do not ║ ║ share his exact opinion on the scene. I have experienced this ║ ║ "rudeness" first hand. However, I do not feel that is any excuse to be ║ ║ biased. I have seen you "twisting" TRC's words in such a way that would ║ ║ make him look bad. One example is when you made an interview with him, ║ ║ and he, as a joke said "I am a GOD!" You then immediately took his ║ ║ words, which had nothing to do with the interview, and put them as the ║ ║ title of the interview to make TRC "look bad." ║ ║ ║ ║ I like RCN very much, and I think it's great that you people inform ║ ║ the warez scene, but what you write many times is only a half truth. I ║ ║ have seen other examples of this kind of biasness and have chosen this ║ ║ one because I know TRC, and thought that you guys went too far. I hope ║ ║ you stop being being biased and make up with TRC because he is one of ║ ║ the best game suppliers and is a very respected man in the warez ║ ║ community. I appreciate that you people took your time to read my ║ ║ letter and hope something is done about this problem. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Cool Guy ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Cool Guy, ║ ║ ║ ║ First off, I said that I did not wish to supply not because I did ║ ║ not want to be biased toward certain groups, but because I was biased ║ ║ against making myself supply/crack/package a game. You should read more ║ ║ carefully before you start talking shit. ║ ║ ║ ║ On the note of TRC's saying "I am a GOD!" His exact words were, ║ ║ "But I am a GOD!" Those words were used not in a joking manner, but in ║ ║ a serious manner as can be seen when you read the full log which was ║ ║ published in RCN. In other words, he wasn't joking, and he claimed that ║ ║ he was a GOD in the scene in defense of his own status. Also, when you ║ ║ claim that I twisted his words to make him look bad? That I did not do, ║ ║ however, you are trying to twist his words and take his words out of ║ ║ context to make him look better than he actually is. ║ ║ ║ ║ I agree with you on the note that TRC is one of the best game ║ ║ suppliers, but do I really give a fuck? He could be Bill Fucking ║ ║ Clinton for all I care, and if he does something stupid, by golly, I'll ║ ║ be the first to cover it, and that is in no way being biased. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐███▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░██▄ ░██ ▀▀▀ ▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌▄███ ▐██▌ ▀███ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ ███ ██▌ ▄█░▀ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▐██▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ███ ░▐████ ░▐██▐██▌ ░░ ░▐██▌░▐████▐██▀▀ ░▐██▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ █████ ▐██▌▀██▄ ▄░█▀ █████ ██▌ ██░▄ ▀██▄███▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ███▐░████▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄████▌▀▀▀███▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ Hi, I'm Karzy. I'm not really new to the warez scene but until now, ║ ║ all I pretty much did was sit in channel #Oldwarez and leech under ║ ║ various nicknames. But now I have necided to speak my mind. Ops are ║ ║ too damn touchy on certain channels, not primarily in channel #Oldwarez ║ ║ but on many other channels too. And it's annoying. I mean, it seems ║ ║ like you can't even joke around with someone anymore without them ║ ║ getting all defensive and throwing it back in your face like you were ║ ║ sitting there kicking them in the head. I don't know how many times I ║ ║ will have cracked a joke and the next thing I see is : ║ ║ ║ ║ You have been kicked off channel #(insert here) by (insert here) ║ ║ (Banned: Shut the fuck up lamer) ║ ║ ║ ║ And frankly, I am getting sick of it. I mean, you would think ║ ║ people would have a sense of humor knowing they are getting thousands of ║ ║ dollars in software for free, but NOOOO! They have to get all up on ║ ║ their high horse because they are ops and they are so quick to whip out ║ ║ the /bk at the first time that their ego may be in jeopardy. ║ ║ ║ ║ It's even gotten to the point now that you can be kick/banned off a ║ ║ channel for offering the wrong stuff. If you don't offer 0-day stuff in ║ ║ some of the #WarezX channels they will /bk you. Bankicks are easy to ║ ║ get around but they never make anyone feel welcome. I think that we all ║ ║ need to take this a lot more lightly. I am guilty too, I recognize that ║ ║ sometimes people get pissed off and start screaming over little shit. ║ ║ ║ ║ I think that the solution to this is having fewer ops. Like last ║ ║ night on channel #Oldwarez, some guy came into the channel, got ops, ║ ║ then mass deoped and got kicked by himself for mass-deoping. That was ║ ║ fun, you could joke around without worrying about a perma-ban. ║ ║ ║ ║ But some people took the opportunity to be stupid and cntrl^g'd a ║ ║ million times and flooded just to be lame because they wouldn't get ║ ║ kicked. The moral of the story is, ops, try to take things a little ║ ║ more lightly. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Karzy ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ ▄▄ ▐██▌ ▐███▌ ░█▌▄▄░▀ r c n ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄▀░██▄ ░██ ▀▀▀ ▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌▄███ ▐██▌ ▀███ ▄▄■▄▄ ▄█▀▀▀▐██▌ ███ ██▌ ▄█░▀ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▐██▌ ▄ ███ ░██ █▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄░▄ ███ ░▐████ ░▐██▐██▌ ░░ ░▐██▌░▐████▐██▀▀ ░▐██▌░░░▐██ ░ ▄██▌░░░ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀▄ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ █████ ▐██▌▀██▄ ▄░█▀ █████ ██▌ ██░▄ ▀██▄███▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ███▐░████▌ ██▀ ▀▀■▀▀ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▄▄████▌▀▀▀███▌ ▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀░ ▀ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ e d i t o r i a l ! ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ As a former member of FBI, I would like to respond not only to the ║ ║ text file sent out by JDa, but also your dislike of Reflux and FBI. ║ ║ ║ ║ For a short period during '95, I was an in-house courier for FBI.

FBI was a group ║ ║ dedicated to putting out good releases, not untranslated or non-working ║ ║ ones. That was a great program, and I got much joy from letting others ║ ║ try it out, to see if they want to buy it, since I still feel that's the ║ ║ only right thing to do. Remember, if everyone got the stuff for free, ║ ║ there wouldn't be any more of it! ║ ║ ║ ║ Even though I had long since left the group, I was appauled to find ║ ║ out that Reflux duped the release, but to make it worse, they were ║ ║ releasing it over half a year later! Talk about sloppy. ║ ║ ║ ║ In rebuttal to Reflux's claim that it was more than 50 disks so it ║ ║ shouldn't count as a real release, your release is too! Bermuda ║ ║ Syndrome isn't much fun to play without all the addons, and if you add ║ ║ those onto the 50 disk total of Bermuda Syndrome, it's way over 60 ║ ║ disks. ║ ║ ║ ║ Reflux claims that it's a new version. If so, WHY NOT RELEASE A ║ ║ FUCKIN PATCH?? Because they're sloppy and led by that pussy Tklp (which ║ ║ stands for Tiny-Kocked-Little-Prick). ║ ║ ║ ║ I used to have respect for Tklp and his group, despite their major ║ ║ screw up with Quake, but after their duping and then DENYING the ║ ║ previous release's credibility, I have lost all faith in them. I now ║ ║ agree with all of Rebel Chicken's criticism of ROR and Reflux, it is all ║ ║ viable. This last mistake should prove it. ║ ║ ║ ║ As for most people's treatment of FBI, I may no longer be a member, ║ ║ but I still have respect for them. They weren't a tiny little group ║ ║ that barely got to the US, they were great. I have now moved on to ║ ║ bigger and better things, as I am now a happy member of PTA, and active ║ ║ as ever.

I ║ ║ get the latest issue off Illegal Injections BBS here in 613 practically ║ ║ the minute it is out. I am not sure how the sysop does it, whether it ║ ║ is upload by an RCN official or he gets it off IRC? ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyway what I am here to say regards women being Piraters. It is a ║ ║ well known that if a girl has a girlish NICK then she will be flamed for ║ ║ trying to do a man's job, that is shit. It doesn't take much effort or ║ ║ so called "man power," to upload and download. I have been doing this ║ ║ since I first got my HAYES 2400 smartmodem. Now I have an ISDN line and ║ ║ a 33.6 USR Courier modem for using BBSs with. What I want to tell you ║ ║ and everyone reading this is that it is not a male only dominated scene. ║ ║ If you look around you will see that there are many females running it ║ ║ as well. For instance there is Acoustic Blast who is the SysOp of ║ ║ Damned Inferno, a good warez board. There are many more that you will ║ ║ find out about if they ever feel that they can come out of hiding under ║ ║ the big M instead of being proud under the bigger F! ║ ║ ║ ║ Most female piraters have to pretend to be male just to get into the ║ ║ scene. Just like when I started, I didn't know this and I got stuck on ║ ║ every lamer list there is, and all just because I was a girl. Now I use ║ ║ a male sounding alias and I do the pretending, so far no one has known ║ ║ and I am doing better then ever. ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyway, that is about all I have to say other than that the guys ║ ║ that think they run the scene, they should think twice!! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Anonymous ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Anonymous, ║ ║ ║ ║ You're going to be shocked when you read this reply. Don't take it ║ ║ personally, it is not directed at you. It's just a small bit about ║ ║ women that complain about their position in society and female rights. ║ ║ Rebel Chicken and I thought of this when we were at Safeway one day. ║ ║ I've been wanting to publish it for a while now, and it has absolutely ║ ║ nothing to do with warez, but it's something I've got to say and get ║ ║ e-mail back about, so people, don't hold back, I want to start a riot ║ ║ here, write me and tell me what you think of my little schpiel here. ║ ║ ║ ║ Once upon a time Rebel Chicken and I walked into a Safeway (it's a ║ ║ supermarket in the USA) to get something to eat while on an RCN break. ║ ║ We walked past the magazines, they were on the way to the cashier, when ║ ║ Rebel Chicken stopped and exclaimed "HUBBA HUBBA!!!" I turned around ║ ║ and saw him checking out this babe on the front of some magazine. ║ ║ "Ehhhhhhh ---- heeeeeeeeeellllo!!" I shouted back. So we were checking ║ ║ out the women on the front of magazines and then Rebel Chicken noticed ║ ║ something (just when you thought he was actually looking at the women). ║ ║ He asked me "Did you notice how every magazine cover with a woman ║ ║ pictured on it has something about sex?" Surely enough, he was right. ║ ║ We looked through about 25 magazines, and found only two that didn't. ║ ║ One issue of "Seventeen" and the other I don't remember. Sorry guys, we ║ ║ didn't look at computer magazines. ║ ║ ║ ║ So this is the conclusion I draw from all this. Women have no right ║ ║ in hell to complain about being treated like sex toys. I'll tell you ║ ║ right now, I definitely would NOT have minded treating those women as ║ ║ sex toys heheheh but there's no way they can try to tell me that they're ║ ║ just showing off beauty with no sexual connotation implied. Before ║ ║ women can complain about being treated like objects and having a lower ║ ║ place in society, they need to think twice about their actions. I don't ║ ║ mind the fact that beautiful women pose for magazines, but when every ║ ║ magazine with them says something like "20 tips to make your sex life ║ ║ better," "A quiz to see if you really know your way around your bed," ║ ║ "5 women reveal the SEXXXIEST summer lingerie," "The moves the men ║ ║ really like," or "Sex tips for the new year, happy 1996!" it degrades ║ ║ the women's level in society. ║ ║ ║ ║ Right about now all the women's rights groups are telling me "I see ║ ║ nothing wrong with women doing this. It shows that they feel more ║ ║ comfortable with issues about sex." But so what? Maybe the men don't. ║ ║ I don't know, I've never sexually molested a woman, and don't ║ ║ particularly plan on it, but others have, and I don't doubt that ║ ║ magazine covers such as the ones I'm speaking of had some part in it. ║ ║ So food for thought, and note that I'm not justifying Mike Tyson here, ║ ║ he's got the smallest knowledge : size of brain ratio I've ever seen. ║ ║ Would he really have patted that babe on her butt if she weren't wearing ║ ║ something so revealing? When you invite people to a party, you can't ║ ║ expect to kick them out when they show up at your door, and when you ║ ║ invite trouble, you can't expect to kick its hand off your ass. ║ ║ ║ ║ AAAAAND right about now the whole scene thinks I'm insane.

This is just a little something I'd like to say ║ ║ about the interview done on AOD (Angel of Death) about LGN (Legion) and ║ ║ how they kicked out AcidPlain. ║ ║ ║ ║ Everything that AOD had said was true. I was in the group for about ║ ║ two days. If many of you don't remember, I was the one who constructed ║ ║ the group's first diz. I was approached by a senior (I think he was at ║ ║ the time) of the group, Samuraion. He said that if I did a .DIZ for the ║ ║ group, I'd become a member and have access to all their sites. I wasn't ║ ║ all that excited, but it would have been a good chance to get my art ║ ║ skills up to par. ║ ║ ║ ║ So I went to another window, loaded up my ansi editor, and began to ║ ║ work on the diz. Five minutes had passed and I had finished the diz. I ║ ║ sent it over to Samuraion and he told me he liked it. He gave me access ║ ║ to their channel, and told me that I would be added to the INFO as a ║ ║ member, and that I would soon have access to their site(s). I was a ║ ║ little excited, thinking that this group would have a lot of success, ║ ║ and that I was a part of it (after all, without a diz, they wouldn't get ║ ║ far). So I was given access, and soon became friends with a few people ║ ║ in the channel. ║ ║ ║ ║ All was going good. I was couriering their releases as soon as they ║ ║ were being released. I was doing the job that their couriers should ║ ║ have been doing. I was grabbing their releases off a member's shell ║ ║ account, and sending them all around my a/c, and to other sites which I ║ ║ wish to keep anonymous. ║ ║ ║ ║ I went into the channel a couple of days after the last release, and ║ ║ soon noticed after 5 minutes that I still had not been opped. So I ║ ║ waited figuring I was lagged. I waited, and waited, but still no +o. ║ ║ So I msged Acidplain, and he said he would go check the nfo file to see ║ ║ if I was in the group. Turns out I wasn't in the latest nfo file, so he ║ ║ had no proof. I told him that I was the one who did the DIZ for them, ║ ║ but still no ops. I waited for Samuraion to come into the channel. He ║ ║ came in about an hour after I first joined. I told him that my ops had ║ ║ been taken away and that I was not in the NFO file. He told me he added ║ ║ me, and said that he would do it again. He sent me a copy of the latest ║ ║ one which had my name in it, and I kept it on my HD. I joined the ║ ║ channel the next day, and to my surprise (yeah right), I was not given ║ ║ the ops. I was added to the bot, and then got my ops back. I was ║ ║ disconnected due to my computer freezing, and then connected back to IRC ║ ║ 30 minsutes after. ║ ║ ║ ║ I joined the channel again, and once again, no ops. I was mad at ║ ║ this time, and so I sent a public message out stating that someone was ║ ║ removing my name out of the BOTS' list and that that was the reason for ║ ║ me not having my ops. ║ ║ ║ ║ Samuraion joined the channel again, and he told me that he would ║ ║ once again add me to the bot. I waited, and then had ops again. I was ║ ║ then -o'ed and was wondering why. I messaged Acidplain, and he said he ║ ║ didn't need me any longer because they had received a new diz and didn't ║ ║ want mine anymore. I was fucking pissed (excuse the language). So I ║ ║ left the channel, and msged X-Factor, and told him that Acidplain was ║ ║ asshole, and explained why I had called him that. I got no reply, but ║ ║ when I joined channel #Legion, I was kicked out of the channel by none ║ ║ other than Acidplain. ║ ║ ║ ║ I figured that whatever information I was giving to other members of ║ ║ the group, was being leaked out to Acidplain, so I said "Fuck This" and ║ ║ left the channel, never to return again. ║ ║ ║ ║ So to all wondering if that interview contained some false ║ ║ information, none did whatsoever, whatever was said about Acidplain is ║ ║ true. And I regret ever doing any work for that guy.

I shell to ║ ║ DOS to see what this nfo file is all about and, find out its a nicely ║ ║ arranged list of all this guy has! ║ ║ ║ ║ Overjoyed, I try to strike a deal with him, and ask him questions ║ ║ which indulges us in a conversation. The thing that really surprizes ║ ║ me, is when I learned that he started warez only 8 months ago! The ║ ║ biggest shock comes to me when he tells me he got his first computer in ║ ║ November of 1995! His first experience with a computer he says was when ║ ║ he was 8 years old (a Comodore 64, at a Kids Centre) playing games and ║ ║ crap. From then on, he dreamed of getting one. ║ ║ ║ ║ Finally, after another 7 years his fascination with computers was at ║ ║ its peak, he bought one. Though not knowing much about them, he decided ║ ║ to make the leap and finally managed to get Ma and Pa to get him one. ║ ║ Low on money he had to choose the most economical, a Pentium 75, with 8 ║ ║ megs of ram. After that, like any newbie, he went and signed up with ║ ║ AOL, Compuserve, etc. He tried them all out. ║ ║ ║ ║ However, he was still not into the wonderfull world of warez until a ║ ║ friend of his gives him a copy of Doom 2, with group nfos and all. He ║ ║ sees them and realizes that something very interesting out there exists, ║ ║ which he must find out about. In December of 1995, he gets a real ║ ║ Internet account, and manages to figure out IRC in about 2 weeks. From ║ ║ that time until now, he has managed to gather 2.2 gigs of warez (don't ║ ║ ask me how, he doensn't know either) and has even managed to join some ║ ║ groups, as an artist and a courier. ║ ║ ║ ║ This guy went from being a computer illiterate, to a warez god in ║ ║ such a short time. What I'm trying to say is, if NetFrack can do it, ║ ║ all you newbies, pirates or not, can too! All it requires, is ║ ║ dedication, and the willingness to go out and learn about the scene ║ ║ first!

Gotta ║ ║ suggestion maybe you dudz might be able to pass along to the release ║ ║ groups. ║ ║ 1.) Generate a PGP public key for your group ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) On all of your releases, verify the .zip or .arj or .rar or ║ ║ whateverthefuck you use with that key. ║ ║ ║ ║ This verifies that the files are GENUINE releases from the group in ║ ║ question, and that they stand behind the fact that they're virus free. ║ ║ That way, some phuckin lamer who wants to put Stoned Monkey or some ║ ║ other lamer shit in the file, will have to phuck with the file, thus it ║ ║ won't pass the key. ║ ║ ║ ║ Just a thought, fellas.

It was regarding how release groups release programs ║ ║ which nobody would use, and how it's not their fault. Here's a piece of ║ ║ his work : ║ ║ ║ ║ "I guess it is not the release group's fault if the programmers these ║ ║ days are not making quality programs... have some pride and don't ║ ║ release 'How To Type Faster Part 5' when they know people don't use it." ║ ║ ║ ║ When I read this, I thought to myself "But it is the release group's ║ ║ fault." The fault is not at the programmer. People do use these ║ ║ programs <as lame as that may seem>. They are used in school, in ║ ║ training programs, etc. There are many programs out there which may ║ ║ seem dumb, but in the professional world, and not in this fantasy world ║ ║ we live in, the programs are very important, and are used by thousands ║ ║ of people through out the world. ║ ║ ║ ║ This is just a word of advice to the release groups. Even though it ║ ║ is a VERY hard job these days to find and release a good game or util, ║ ║ you must also stop and think that not everyone in the scene will give ║ ║ you the credit for it (as HBKid said in his article). There are many ║ ║ people in the scene who will take advantage of the release, and use it ║ ║ for their personal use, but the majority will only look at the release, ║ ║ and go onto the next. ║ ║ ║ ║ *PS* "Quality Over Quantity!" ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Storm Hacker ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ First I'd like to say that your mag is the best.

In my area (514, real sucky ║ ║ since the RCMP busted most boards a year ago) there are new boards ║ ║ popping up every day.

They are litterally killing the board scene here. ║ ║ You don't want to know how many groups have started and died in the last ║ ║ month. Here, since most of the stuff is in french, the kiddies go ║ ║ around saying "Vachier mon criss, tu vaux pas de la marde pis m'a te ║ ║ tuer" (means go to hell, you aren't worth shit and I'm gonna kill ya...) ║ ║ You see what I mean? ║ ║ ║ ║ Now I don't say everyone is like that (you have an affiliate in my ║ ║ area, Area 51, I know the board and I talked to the Sysop a couple ║ ║ times) and some are cool.

Often, when leeching off a DCC bot on IRC, you have to wait for a ║ ║ slot to become available, and when that does, how are you to know the ║ ║ bot won't drop connection while sending you the file. ║ ║ ║ ║ I know that when I BBS trade I can upload or download simulateously ║ ║ while knowing that I can get a connection on most multinode boards ║ ║ whenever I want, and know that the board is stable and won't disconnect ║ ║ in the middle of my transfer. With IRC couriering also, you may be ║ ║ getting decent rates thru a t1 or t3 on your provider from the bot, but ║ ║ then, after it reaches your hd, you have to sit and wait while ║ ║ downloading it off your providers drive. Now, this can be hasslesome, ║ ║ and I do know that many will go through this trouble just to get an 0 ║ ║ day release, but it's not THAT beneficial timewise. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now, I don't want to sound like guys who setup DCC bots on IRC are ║ ║ lame, or stupid, I think that those who have bots steady going 24/7 ║ ║ offering the latest files in any offer channel are very taleneted and ║ ║ should be commended. I personally think though, that IRC Courering ║ ║ leaves the trading scene too simple. I enjoy trading locally, and on ║ ║ occasional 800/888s, and I only use DCCs to get mags and small files ║ ║ (under 200k). I enjoy the competition that trading gets on boards ║ ║ trying to beat other guys who have the same files. IRC trading gievs ║ ║ people the "no ratio" advantage of taking files off IRC returning ║ ║ nothing, and then becoming well known. I hope to start telnet trading ║ ║ soon, but right now I'm rebuilding my board from a hard drive crash, and ║ ║ don't have much time on my hands between that and work, so BBS trading ║ ║ is all I can do. ║ ║ ║ ║ Finally, I'd like to address Ermac's saying that groups like ║ ║ Everlast and RiSC should get dcc channels and offer bots. I personally ║ ║ would like to commend Everlast and RiSC and all other groups that only ║ ║ trade where the REAL competition is, on boards and sites. Anyone can ║ ║ sit on IRC for a few hours a day offering some new files they DCCed from ║ ║ someone else, but it takes ║ ║ ║ ║ someone who is fairly talented to trade the fast files on the ║ ║ fastest boards and sites in the world. Again, I don't think all DCC ║ ║ guys are bad, fATE did a good thing creating #fATEfiles, but it got way ║ ║ to popular and blown out of proprtion. I have a lot of friends in fATE ║ ║ or who used to be in fATE, and have respect for the group itself. ║ ║ ║ ║ In my area, I'm glad to see trading picking up because of IRC, but ║ ║ many people ask me why I don't just move my board to real fast, and ║ ║ leech off IRC all day. The reason is, it's too easy. Again, no ║ ║ competition and no ratios. That's why sites and boards gain the ║ ║ importance they do. Most TRUE traders get the files off the whq's or ║ ║ group affiliated sites, and spread from there. IRC trading has been ║ ║ given too much importance in the scene. IRC should be left as group ║ ║ channels to have group information publicly available, and in some ║ ║ cases, just a meeting place between fellow members to talk. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ King Cobra ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Dear RCN, ║ ║ ║ ║ How hard is it to find a god release these days? That is a good ║ ║ question when you really think about it. When BBSing and trading files ║ ║ how many files that you download do you actually use? When looking at ║ ║ files these days they seem really pathetic. For instance, why would ║ ║ someone want a personal heatlth manger or something that is very boring. ║ ║ 3D Creative caladers and other lame releases I have seen passed around ║ ║ and when checking my BBS stats it seems that these files are never ║ ║ downloaded while Duke Nukem 3D on my board was downloaded 75 times!!! ║ ║ ║ ║ I think that release groups should take more time and release ║ ║ quality things that a majority of people would like instead of wasting ║ ║ time cracking and passing around total junk. For instance, I must have ║ ║ traded and seen over 5-7 gigs of files and how many of those files did I ║ ║ actually use? Hardly any to be perfectly honest, in my time in the ║ ║ scene I might have used about 500 megs of all the things releases and a ║ ║ lot of the things that I used were the older files which I had to ║ ║ request because most of the newer things out there aren`t even that ║ ║ great to begin with. ║ ║ ║ ║ I guess it is not the release group's fault if the prgrammers these ║ ║ days are not making quality programs to crack but I do think they should ║ ║ have some pride and don't release "How to Type Faster Part 5" when they ║ ║ know people won't use it. ║ ║ ║ ║ The problem these days is people are just couriering for fun... for ║ ║ something to do and they will trade almost everything and not even use ║ ║ it so release groups can get away with releasing junk because they know ║ ║ people will trade it no matter what it is. So release groups that read ║ ║ this letter and think about the quality of your releases lately and ohh ║ ║ yea try to make sure they work to. ║ ║ ║ ║ Couriers read this and remember next time you courier "How to Cook" ║ ║ maybe if you refused to trade some lame releases like that maybe the ║ ║ groups will stop releasing them! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ HBKid ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Rebel Chicken ║ ║ Subject : Introduction : AMN vs. RISC ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Since before I can remember when, courier groups have been battling ║ ║ over which courier group was #1 in this and that, blah blah. Courier ║ ║ Group A would steal a good courier from Group B, and then Group B would ║ ║ get mad and then Group B would steal a good courier from Group A, and so ║ ║ on. Courier groups would steal a member here, and a member there for ║ ║ the sake of improving a group's couriering ability. However, with the ║ ║ advent of the Internet, and the structuring of the few but well ║ ║ organized FTP sites, many courier groups are now switching their ║ ║ attention into battling over FTP sites instead. A good FTP courier ║ ║ could be found anywhere, but a good FTP site is hard to come by, and is ║ ║ heavily sought after by group leaders. Group leaders risk (no pun ║ ║ intended) a few back stabbings here, and lie a bit there, and do ║ ║ something lame somewhere else, just for the chance that they might be ║ ║ able to acquire a few of these important FTP sites. ║ ║ ║ ║ The following is a story of how RISC steals (I could use a more ║ ║ passive word, but what the hell for?) a FTP site from Amnesia. Amnesia ║ ║ is caught with its pants down, and the owner of the FTP site, Ryu, who ║ ║ happens to be an Amnesia member, is stuck in a Catch 22 scenario. A ║ ║ long, long, time ago (last week), in a galaxy far away (Oregon), an ║ ║ Amnesia siteop is ganged up on by his friendly (back stabbing) RISC ║ ║ cositeops, and thus, loses control... here goes... ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-bo> Do you know about Ryu and Oasis and the situation between ║ ║ Amnesia and RISC? Do you know the situation there? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Pand> No, I do not, but just tell me the information and I will see to ║ ║ it that the higher ups at RCN will get this information. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-bo> Well, here is the situation, Ryu and Vile started a site named ║ ║ The Doughnut Hole with Ryu and Vile as siteops. We'll refer to ║ ║ that site as the The Doughnut Hole for sake of anonymity. ║ ║ Later on, Vile dropped out of the site for a few weeks, and Ryu ║ ║ asked Devast to help out as a cositeop. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Pand> Please continue... ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-bo> Then, the site became the Prestige USHQ and the Amnesia Courier ║ ║ HQ. At this point, Devast lied to Ryu to try to get him to ║ ║ drop Amnesia and go with RISC. Ryu told Devast and RISC that ║ ║ he did not want to drop Amnesia for RISC (refer to the ║ ║ interview with Ryu in RCN #23). At that time, Devast kept on ║ ║ trying to get The Doughnut Hole to go with RISC by getting Ryu ║ ║ to drop Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Pand> I see, is there anything else? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-bo> Ryu repeatedly slammed Devast's ideas to go with RISC. Ryu's ║ ║ logic was that Devast wanted RISC only for his own personal ║ ║ gain by schmoozing the higher ups of RISC. And Ryu did not ║ ║ want that kind of shit to happen on his site. The fact of the ║ ║ matter was this, Devast thought that he owned the site now. No ║ ║ matter how much work he thinks that he put into the site, Ryu ║ ║ was still the one housing the hardware. If the feds had ║ ║ knocked down the door, Ryu would go to jail, not Devast. This ║ ║ was and is Ryu's site. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Pand> So the actual site is like in Ryu's room? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-bo> After this, the hardware needed to be moved to another location ║ ║ for reasons that I am not willing to reveal. An unnamed person ║ ║ volunteered to house the hardware under the stipulation that it ║ ║ whould still be Ryu's site. The only difference would be that ║ ║ the hardware was in a new local. The day after the unnamed ║ ║ siteop gave that promise to Ryu, he took that back after Ryu ║ ║ had decided to boot Devast from the site. Ryu wanted Devast ║ ║ out because Devast was using the site for personal gain and for ║ ║ selfish motivations. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Pand> Yuck... ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-bo> At this point in time, the siteops and cositeops decided that ║ ║ they wanted to drop Amnesia again, and bring in RISC. It's ║ ║ funny since 4 of the 7 siteops and cositeops are RISC members. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Pand> Whoa, I guess RISC secured that site. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-bo> Ryu would not let this happen. He stated before that his site ║ ║ would not go to RISC, and now, by Devast's undermining, the ║ ║ site was again trying to do so! Ryu stated the fact that he ║ ║ would leave the site as a siteop if they booted Amnesia, which ║ ║ they did. So Ryu is no longer a siteop on The Doughnut Hole. ║ ║ I have a log that I took with Devast, Revolver, and myself.

I want to know every detail, and ║ ║ this will be logged. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> Ryu said, "If the site drops Amnesia, I am gone." ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> Why has the site dropped Amnesia? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> We had a vote on whether or not to drop Amnesia and Ryu's vote ║ ║ was accounted for as a "no." The deal to boot Amnesia off the ║ ║ site was made by 5 people who were on the weektop. They only ║ ║ had 2 that wanted to keep the site Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> You are sooo damn stuck on getting rid of Amnesia! Why is ║ ║ that so?? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> Amnesia does nothing for the site. Amnesia only leeches. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> I don't understand why you literally hate Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> I don't hate them. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> Amnesia has 4 damn traders in the top uploaders. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> I just don't think that The Doughnut Hole should be an Amnesia ║ ║ site. There was a staff vote and people voted 5 to 1 in favor ║ ║ of dropping Amnesia. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> Who is on staff besides Coolio, Ryu, and yourself? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> Arch-Vile, Cyberjack, and Darkside are all part of the staff. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> These guys are obviously biased against Amnesia because they ║ ║ are all in RISC! Which fucking group do you think they will ║ ║ vote for? It's all rigged man and you know it. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> So what? The vote was to drop Amnesia and Ryu was part of the ║ ║ vote, but lost. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> Who started the fucking site?? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> I did. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> YOU? I could have sworn it was Ryu. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> I got the traders on there trading. I made it what it was and ║ ║ Ryu knows that. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-Bo> Devast, you my friend, are a bitch. You voted to oust Ryu when ║ ║ he started the site?!?!? Fuck you all. If you all want a site ║ ║ without Ryu, then you need to pick a new name. The Doughnut ║ ║ Hole was, and always will be, Ryu's site and you are a bitch ║ ║ for not backing him up. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> How am I supposed to back up Ryu after he tried to remove me ║ ║ from the staff even though I was the one who did everything for ║ ║ the site? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> I just think that you wanted RISC from the start because you ║ ║ have some personal fantasy in being one of the scene high ║ ║ rollers and the only ride you have to being anything like ║ ║ that is with The Doughnut Hole. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-Bo> Ryu wanted to remove you from the site because you wanted to ║ ║ ditch Amnesia and go with RISC, why? Because you are afraid of ║ ║ facing a challenge. You, my friend, might know some shit about ║ ║ UNIX, but you could use a lesson or 2 in the loyalty ║ ║ department. RISC will use you and the site until you are not ║ ║ worth a shit. Then RISC will drop you like a sack of garbage. ║ ║ You fell for their games, sucker. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> And why do you think personally you would belong in RISC? ║ ║ You're not a trader. What would you personally have to offer ║ ║ them as a group?? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> I simply want the site to be the best it can and that is done ║ ║ only with RISC. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Revolver> And what does RISC have that Amnesia doesn't?? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Devast> RISC is respected and it has traders. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Abo-Bo> Man, you are truly lame. And you say that the site will be ║ ║ better with RISC as an affiliation? Listen here newbie, all of ║ ║ the RISC traders that are worth a shit will trade on The ║ ║ Doughnut Hole, not because it is a RISC site, but because it a ║ ║ good site. You voted to kick out Amnesia because you wanted to ║ ║ kiss ass to RISC, and you know it.

We voted ║ ║ to leave Amnesia 5 to 1. He was 1, so we left Amnesia. He said ║ ║ that if we left Amnesia, then he'd quit, so we kicked him out. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Of course you did, you are in RISC. If you didn't say vote for ║ ║ RISC and I was in RISC, I would get you kicked out of RISC. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: It's simple. I am trying to keep an objective point of view on ║ ║ this. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Ryu left, he was not kicked. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: But I just think he should have followed his own rules about the ║ ║ site. He could have stayed in Amnesia, but he said if the site ║ ║ leaves then he would leave the site. He could have been in ║ ║ Amnesia and a siteop on The Doughnut Hole. I'm in RISC, but I ║ ║ didn't quit RISC to become a cositeop on The Doughnut Hole. It's ║ ║ the same thing. I'm in Prestige and The Doughnut Hole is ║ ║ affiliated with Razor, I am not quitting Prestige to join Razor. ║ ║ Devast was in no group, yet he is still a siteop on an Amnesia ║ ║ site. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You have a duty as a loyal RISC member to make sure that shit goes ║ ║ good in RISC's direction. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: I have a loyalty as a RISC member to do what's best for RISC. So ║ ║ yes, you are correct. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Is this true? Does this alter your decision at all? That's all I ║ ║ want to know since almost all the members of the The Doughnut Hole ║ ║ staff are in RISC. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: All the cositeops are RISC members. I voted to leave Amnesia ║ ║ because Amnesia wasn't supporting The Doughnut Hole enough and yet ║ ║ Amnesia had 15 leech accounts. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Don't you think that alters the decision just a little itty bit ║ ║ though? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: No. I told you I am being objective on this, I am not letting my ║ ║ being in RISC effect it. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I just don't want this to seem like Amnesia can't do the job and ║ ║ more like that The Doughnut Hole is a good site and all the RISC ║ ║ members think it should be in RISC. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: I also have a duty as a cositeop to do what's best for The ║ ║ Doughnut Hole. Apparently, Amnesia can't do the job. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What have you heard about Amnesia traders being nuked off of The ║ ║ Doughnut Hole? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: I don't know everything. I just know what I'm told. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: A person with cositeop access was nuking Amnesia accounts on The ║ ║ Doughnut Hole. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: It wasn't me. I just nuked Amnesia once, and maybe a few other ║ ║ people that I didn't know of and who weren't on BBX. I was told ║ ║ to nuke them though. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Who instructed you to nuke accounts? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: Ryu is out and we're going independent or with RISC. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Who instructed you to nuke accounts? Who do you think is the ║ ║ leader of The Doughnut Hole? Who does ALL the work and is ║ ║ responsible for its stature? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: It's a group thing. We all do the same there is no "leader." ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I have logs from Devast that state otherwise. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: The Doughnut Hole is a group thing, not a one man effort. No one ║ ║ man can make it what it is today. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Devast claims that he brought in all the affiliations for the ║ ║ site. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CYB█: Believe what you want... ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Devast claims that he started the whole site and is the leader of ║ ║ it all.

And what ║ ║ were your positions in those groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: Well let me see, when I was calling a UK board called the flying ║ ║ teapot (using a different handle at that time) I guess I was not ║ ║ in any groups. This is because I guess one could class me as ║ ║ inept in the warez of the scene, but I contributed whatever I ║ ║ could to the board. In 1992, I joined a small Internet group ║ ║ called FC. Although one could not class it as a serious group in ║ ║ terms of trading, warez, or speed, I still feel that FC held the ║ ║ foundations of what the scene, the true scene is all about. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What foundations did this group hold which makes up the true ║ ║ scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: The true scene is not just phreaking, carding, but the fact that ║ ║ you share friendships which in my opinion is a thing that should ║ ║ happen now. As well, one can see the bullshit in groups is ║ ║ growing nowadays, group fights, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What happened after you joined FC, when did you take leave for ║ ║ other courier groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: After FC, where I met the likes of Stingray 6 and Cruger of RISC ║ ║ (Rise in Superior Couriering), I joined RTS (Request to Send), ║ ║ under the leadership of Dorian Hawkmoon and Ordnance. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What were your duties in RTS, and what did you accomplish while in ║ ║ RTS? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: Reflecting back on RTS, my main job was to coordinate their ║ ║ Internet side, and I thought I was doing good job, however ║ ║ problems with the leadership made me leave RTS along with Dorian ║ ║ Hawkmoon and a few others to form the group Malice. With Vile and ║ ║ Dorian's assistance, we rebuilt Malice with Jake the Snake. At ║ ║ first, I was a member of Council, but as more pressing duties ║ ║ arose, I was given the position of Vice President. Given the ║ ║ charge of Malice was an honour to be bestowed on me, and I knew I ║ ║ wanted to run Malice a little differently from most groups out ║ ║ their. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How did you want to run Malice differetly? What did you have in ║ ║ mind that would have made Malice stand out above the rest? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: I tried to inspire good teamwork and a friendship enterprise ║ ║ within the group which I say must have worked because Malice back ║ ║ in its haydays was damn friendly and the members were easy going. ║ ║ By having a good karma within the group, I felt this would give ║ ║ Malice the edge over the rest. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How was Malice dominant while you were leading it at its peak? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: Well, Malice did have problems with other couriering groups out ║ ║ there, but times have now changed. While leading Malice along ║ ║ with Jake the Snake, Dorian, Lester, and company, everything went ║ ║ like clockwork. Malice conquered Europe and certainly the UK, ║ ║ where there was no other competition. So while Malice was ║ ║ expanding, I sought to make the group afilliated with more utils ║ ║ groups and gain strategic alliances with games groups. Thus, I ║ ║ joined smaller utils groups like Darius and Pinnacle, and games ║ ║ groups such as Razor 1911 to ensure that Malice could and did ║ ║ spread the warez. By having a small voice in this and that group ║ ║ and by establishing good team work between the releasing groups ║ ║ and Malice, I envisaged that the Malice future should have been ║ ║ bright. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Should... but something unfortunate did happen to Malice. What ║ ║ turned your friendly Malice members into bitter Malice members? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: However, since the problems with Malice in the last two months, ║ ║ which may I add has been rectified by the current leaders, I have ║ ║ left all posts because I was getting tired of it and I wanted to ║ ║ finish my degree and do a Ph.D. What happened to Malice with ║ ║ Amnesia and Rapier is public knowledge so I do not wish to follow ║ ║ that on. Currently, since I am retired from all this, the only ║ ║ thing I occasionally do is act as the independent siteop on ║ ║ Enigma. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Do you have plans to ever come back to Malice once you have ║ ║ finished your Ph.D.? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: Well, that would be in 3 years time haha, I really can't say. I ║ ║ do give some advice where needed, but I am tired of it all, and ║ ║ warez just doesn't interest me anymore. Sure, the boards still ║ ║ retain some interest in the UK, where I like talking to the ║ ║ sysops, but otherwise, I find the act of downloading warez via ║ ║ molyturbo to be boring and basically unintresting. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Which field is your doctoral degree in? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: My Ph.D. thesis will cover the development and the application of ║ ║ the Information Superhighway for the benefit of the people with ║ ║ special needs. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I have a special need for warez. You can interview me for your ║ ║ doctoral thesis. And I can go grab Darkhosis, he'll be your net ║ ║ monkey, and you can give him tests, and you can give me warez. ║ ║ Anyhow, what does Aslan stand for? What does that word mean? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: Haha, Aslan... well, if you're Turkish, Aslan would mean "lion." ║ ║ However, if you read C.S. Lewis' books, Aslan is the good lion who ║ ║ defends Narnia from the White Witch. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What do you think of the current state of the couriering scene? ║ ║ Do you think much has changed since you were an active leader of ║ ║ Malice? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: The current state, well, that's a good question, if you split the ║ ║ couriering scene between boards and the Internet, it is obvious ║ ║ the attention is shitfing away from boards and toward the Internet ║ ║ for the sake that it it is easier to courier to and it's faster. ║ ║ The only group that I can think of that is like moffo dedicated to ║ ║ the boards is Everlast, possibly RISC on their HQs and once upon a ║ ║ time Malice on all their boards throughout the world. But the ║ ║ emphasis appears to be on the Internet, so there seems to be a ║ ║ whole load of new Internet groups that appear week by week but I ║ ║ am probably mistaken. This would also imply that the Internet ║ ║ scene appears to be reaching a saturation point as you can only ║ ║ have so many Internet groups out there. As for when I ran Malice, ║ ║ I ensure that (tried to anyway) that my region, the UK, got its ║ ║ boards covered well and that our sites in Europe got covered. ║ ║ Also, before RISC took over Enigma and before Malice had its ║ ║ difficulties, Malice did support Enigma damn well. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: So, if the scene is saturated, does that mean that it is GOOD or ║ ║ BAD for the scene? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: Well, maybe a new blood will bring new attitudes, proving to ║ ║ people that they don't have any ego problems and that they have an ║ ║ idea what teamwork is all about. I think the scene could do with ║ ║ more of those types of people be it boards or the Internet. Some ║ ║ people take the scene far too seriously and think you have to be ║ ║ elite and shit, and if you aren't elite, you have to be lame. All ║ ║ I can say is, the scene embraces those who believe in the right ║ ║ ideology. That's why when one of your writers, Trite, criticized ║ ║ Malice, I wrote a letter based on facts and sound arguments, not ║ ║ hysterical rantings and ravings that some people can give. So ║ ║ yeah, new people with decent ideas might not be a bad idea. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Mind you Trite is no longer a part of RCN, and is no longer ║ ║ allowed to submit articles to RCN. :) ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: Well Trite I think has improved certainly, but as I say, never ║ ║ judge a person by his or her cover until you know them. As some ║ ║ people say, there is an alpha and there is an omega. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: And a Win 95 Beta... is there anything you would like to say to ║ ║ the scene before we adjourn? ║ ║ ║ ║ █ASL█: Let us all try and make what we have left in the scene a better ║ ║ place be it on the Internet or on a board. Because if we don't, ║ ║ then we will be the final destructors of a hobby in which we all ║ ║ participate and enjoy. Remember, it's only a hobby guys and ║ ║ girls. Oh yeah, hi Steve, Duncan, Robert, Gary, Andreas, Philip, ║ ║ Marten, Tom, Justin, and everyone who knows me. :) ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Holy Beast ║ ║ Subject : Prestige Senior Cracker Affiliation : Prestige Cracking ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How long have you been in the scene? Once you became a part of ║ ║ the scene, how long was it before you started contributing to ║ ║ various groups, and how did you contribute to each of these ║ ║ groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PSG█: I've been in the scene for about 7 years now. I started with ║ ║ coding demos for demo groups, and some of those were Apocalypse, ║ ║ Neurotica, and Rebels. This was back in 1991, after that, I left ║ ║ the demo scene and started coding viruses and some antiviruses, ║ ║ but I soon got bored and started cracking for the IBM/PC, I ║ ║ cracked/coded for Scotch which merged with PWA and then I left PWA ║ ║ to join Hybrid in 1993. After that, I joined FairLight where I ║ ║ was cracking/organizing together with JBM. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Wasn't FairLight a group that specialized in releasing floppy ║ ║ games? What happened after the floppy games scene died out? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PSG█: Well, when the floppy games scene died out, I carried on to groups ║ ║ like TDT, Mortality and finally Prestige and Siege which I am in ║ ║ now. Oh, I was also in Dynamix, but what the hell... ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Because you have been in the scene for such a long period of time, ║ ║ and because you've been active in various groups while being in ║ ║ the scene, you can be considered a good witness as to the scene ║ ║ happenings throughout your time. In your expert opinion, what is ║ ║ happening to the scene now, how has the scene changed in the past, ║ ║ and how do you feel it will change in the future? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PSG█: I've noticed that the competition is less now in the IBM/PC scene ║ ║ and loyality is becoming a thing of the past. More and more ║ ║ people are more interested in their own success and they don't ║ ║ care about the groups they are a part of. I think that the IBM/PC ║ ║ game scene is going to die out in the future because the games are ║ ║ getting bigger and bigger, and there aren't many good crackers ║ ║ around that can do the job. It won't be worth ripping the games ║ ║ in the future. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Even if games get bigger in size, isn't it also logical to assume ║ ║ that transfer speeds between end downloaders will also increase at ║ ║ the same rate? According to Krypto's indepth study on download ║ ║ times, which can be found in RCN #23, Krypto concluded that it ║ ║ took the average downloader 2 hours and 19 minutes to download the ║ ║ average 2 meg game in 1988 at 2400 b/s, and that it also takes the ║ ║ average downloader 2 hours and 19 minutes to download the average ║ ║ 28 meg game in 1996 at 33.6 kb/s. If that is true, then the size ║ ║ of the game is not going to effect the scene because transfer ║ ║ speeds will be going up as well. How long do you think the IBM/PC ║ ║ scene will survive? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PSG█: The scene will never die out totally, but it will be totally ║ ║ different and as we already can see the quality isn't going to be ║ ║ the most important goal. I think the scene will survive 6-7 more ║ ║ years and then die out. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: When you speak that, "quality isn't going to be the most important ║ ║ goal," are you referring to games groups that are indifferent to ║ ║ quality? If so, do you believe that there are games groups out ║ ║ there which do stand for quality? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PSG█: Honestly? I believe that there are no groups at the moment which ║ ║ are releasing 100% quality. They are all so anxious to get the ║ ║ games out. It's not like in the C64 time when the group that ║ ║ released the best cracks and trainers would win the release. And ║ ║ I can understand how the groups feel since what you are releasing ║ ║ can never be 100% quality since you are ripping out a lot of ║ ║ stuff. The games scene right now is doing a very good job ║ ║ advertising for game companies. We release a ripped "demo" for ║ ║ the game so that everyone can test the game and if they really ║ ║ like it, they have to buy it to get everything. It wasn't like ║ ║ that back in the floppy days, since you would get the *WHOLE* ║ ║ game. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Even in the floppy days, you could use the same reasoning and say ║ ║ that you never downloaded a *WHOLE* game because you never got to ║ ║ download the manual. Then, in order to get the *WHOLE* game, you ║ ║ had to go out to buy the complete game at some software store. ║ ║ Anyhow, why is the IBM/PC scene so different from the long ago C64 ║ ║ days? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PSG█: One of the reasons might be that people who bought a C64/AMIGA, ║ ║ bought it to *PLAY* on it. It was all about games. On the ║ ║ IBM/PC, 30 to 40% of the games have protection, if you can call it ║ ║ that. Back in the C64 scene, the crackers were often the leaders ║ ║ of groups and they were doing most of the job. They had the whole ║ ║ game. Most IBM/PC crackers today don't receive the whole game, ║ ║ and when you know you're cutting on the quality when ripping the ║ ║ game, you don't really feel like making trainers, docs and nice ║ ║ intros for it. And most importantly, the scene is split into 2 ║ ║ scenes, a demo scene and a cracking scene. Before, those two were ║ ║ the same and the cracking groups released quality demos too. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How did these two scenes which were originally one, split off into ║ ║ two? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PSG█: Since the values changed, a good release isn't a release with a ║ ║ nice intro. Intros, demos, and maybe nice trainers became less ║ ║ important to the cracking scene. So leaders soon stopped asking ║ ║ for intros because that was no longer an important issue for the ║ ║ leaders who wanted game releases. The demo people understood the ║ ║ situation and left the cracking scene and started their own scene. ║ ║ And there is such a big difference between the demo scene and the ║ ║ cracking scene because you don't work a lot on one game/release. ║ ║ But a good demo might take over a year of work! ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Celestian Interviewee : Pussy ║ ║ Subject : Fucking the Scene Affiliation : n/a ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Hello, I've heard some things that I was wondering if you could ║ ║ confirm for me?

Software publishers ║ ║ spend quite a while on the programming and creation of their ║ ║ software, and I fully back them. If I like a title, I buy it. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Ok, we all encourage people to buy the software if they like it. ║ ║ Let me ask you this, how many sites have you taken out?

You said up above that the warez community needs to stop, ║ ║ and that if you like a certain title you go buy it. However, you ║ ║ just made a contradiction in terms.

Why ║ ║ don't you just get out of the warez scene and buy the software ║ ║ that sparks your interest? ║ ║ ║ ║ █PUS█: Well, demo versions usually really suck, so warez is nice to do a ║ ║ quick play with, then delete. But most people have huge warez ║ ║ collections and never buy the full versions. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I see, but in a sense, you do the same thing as everyone else, so ║ ║ you too are supporting the scene.

It's not an uncommon thing for one ║ ║ but three in a row! I noticed that they were all being deleted by the ║ ║ same person, the dreaded "Pussy." People have speculated about whether ║ ║ warez is legal, and the answer is plain and simple NO. But that's what ║ ║ makes warez all more fun. Why would someone go and delete what is a ║ ║ passtime for millions of traders and "jobs" for crackers and coders? Is ║ ║ it fun for them to torment us? No one will know unless they know the ║ ║ few deleters out there. ║ ║ ║ ║ I frequent a few warez channels and the occasional #WarezX channels, ║ ║ and all you hear is "That damn Pussy got site #2," or "That fucking ║ ║ Pussy, I hate his ass, he deleted the site I was on." Or even the ║ ║ occasional playing of the Rip 96 file_id.diz. I know I have said those ║ ║ things too, but is it really that bad? Are these "lamers" really ║ ║ hurting us? Is it causing the scene to fall apart? The answer is NO to ║ ║ all three questions. Yes, I said NO. ║ ║ ║ ║ Many don't realize it but they are helping us. They are forcing ║ ║ more of us to find private sites and forcing curriers to find ║ ║ delete-restricted sites. These things are not bad and infact they help ║ ║ the scene. Private sites force non-eleetists to groups, which help the ║ ║ scene of course, and delete restricted sites force hackers to find ║ ║ better sites or work on their hacking skills so they can get root, and ║ ║ while doing that improving their skills. Private sites are better and ║ ║ faster and delete-restricted sites help better group hackers. ║ ║ ║ ║ All-in-all, they are nothing more than a pro for the scene rather ║ ║ than a con. Although it is annoying when they delete while your on a ║ ║ site, but most people carry more than one list with them. I would like ║ ║ to say I do not encourage deleting, but bashing them will make it worse. ║ ║ Just let them be and they will quit. If not, work around them and join ║ ║ a group. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Hades ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Rancid Apathy ║ ║ Subject : Coredump Senior Affiliation : Coredump's Success? ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Coredump is relatively new to the scene, yet it has proven in the ║ ║ last few weeks that it can dish out games as well as the other ║ ║ more established games groups. What has been the driving force ║ ║ behind Coredump's success? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: Well, we are trying to bring some quality back into the scene, and ║ ║ stay professional about it too. We have to remember that the ║ ║ scene is for fun, and we're all in it together. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How has Coredump been able to bring back quality to the scene? ║ ║ What makes Coredump stronger than other games groups, if that is ║ ║ the case? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: As a new group, we are trying to stay as organized as possible. ║ ║ We strive to release working, non duped and properly cracked ║ ║ games, by testing them and making sure they are ready. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Has it always been Coredump's policy to make sure that all ║ ║ Coredump releases are properly cracked? Also, on the note of non ║ ║ duped games, could you mention a few Coredump releases that would ║ ║ be categorized as non duped and quality? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: We are a new group, as you noted, and have had small problems in ║ ║ the past, but our policy is to make sure that the games are ready ║ ║ to play after installation, 100 percent. I would categorize Quake ║ ║ as a quality release from Coredump. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Coredump has made some mistakes in the past, and I would not ║ ║ consider them as small, but nonetheless, it's a thing of the past, ║ ║ and Coredump has most definitely improved upon itself. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: A new group is bound to make mistakes, and we can use those ║ ║ mistakes as something that we will not let happen again. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: On the note of Quake, wasn't that already released by 2 other ║ ║ games groups before Coredump released its version? Could ║ ║ Coredump's version of Quake be a dupe? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: ROR supposedly released Quake Final, but it wasn't even the final. ║ ║ ROR's release of Quake can't be put in the same category as ║ ║ Coredump's release. We're not talking about a FINAL Beta release ║ ║ of a game here. Razor 1911 also released Quake, but it was ║ ║ released after Coredump had already released its version. Our ║ ║ version was out before theirs. Razor had a quality release, and a ║ ║ good job to them. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: A good job to Razor? That's a good attitude to have, however, I ║ ║ don't think Razor is repaying your nice compliment with a nice ║ ║ compliment to you guys. On the contrary, according to Perfect ║ ║ Form, Razor has been putting down Coredump for releasing Quake. ║ ║ Is Razor justified in its actions? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: Personally, I have a lot of respect for Razor because I have seen ║ ║ them stay in the scene forever. They have been putting out some ║ ║ of the best games, and have lasted through many generations of ║ ║ groups. So I can see where Razor is coming from when a new group ║ ║ such as Coredump beats them to a big release such as Quake. I do ║ ║ not put down Razor for this, because duping has been happening ║ ║ more often in the last year or so, and it is a major problem in ║ ║ the scene. Razor has been a part of the scene for a long time, ║ ║ and could get the benefit of the doubt for that reason, which is ║ ║ unfortunate. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: So, you are saying that Razor duped Coredump, but most people will ║ ║ still believe that Coredump duped Razor because Razor is the older ║ ║ group? Do you have any proof that Razor's release of Quake was a ║ ║ dupe? After all, Razor's release of Quake was uploaded to all the ║ ║ major boards. ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: Yes, that's what I am saying. Although Razor may not admit it, ║ ║ most releases are taken care of on the Internet these days, and ║ ║ our release was on all the major sites first. So it really comes ║ ║ down to the question, do boards or sites decide if a release is a ║ ║ dupe or not? In the past, boards have been the key to judging ║ ║ whether a release is a dupe or not, but as the scene changes, so ║ ║ should the deciding factors. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You also mentioned that dupes is becoming a much bigger problem in ║ ║ the scene lately, how does Coredump prevent itself from duping? ║ ║ And if/when Coredump does dupe, what is its immediate policy ║ ║ concerning the matter? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: Well, we would obviously dupe check extensively. We would usually ║ ║ also take our time and make sure that no other groups are going to ║ ║ release the same thing. If we do dupe, we will admit it. If we ║ ║ win on a release, we are not going to cower into a corner just ║ ║ because a much more established group releases the same thing. We ║ ║ stand by our releases. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You described Razor as good group earlier because Razor has been ║ ║ in the scene for many "generations." What do you mean by ║ ║ "generations" when you use that word to describe Razor? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: I meant that Razor has lasted through many other overpowering ║ ║ groups such as INC, THG, Genesis, TDU-JAM!, etc. Razor has ║ ║ managed to remain prominent and competitive through all the other ║ ║ legacies of game release groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What are your future hopes and plans for Coredump? How many ║ ║ generations do you believe Coredump will last before it either ║ ║ merges into another group or dies off? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CD █: Coredump hopes to establish itself as a quality releasing power in ║ ║ the scene, and to continue releasing good games. I can't tell ║ ║ right now how long we will last, but we won't be short lived. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Turok ║ ║ Subject : AOD+LGT=More LGT Affiliation : Lightning Senior ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I recently found that the courier group Lightning has nearly ║ ║ doubled in size in a short week, what was the cause of this? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: Yes, about 3 days ago, AOD (Angles of Death) merged with Lightning ║ ║ to cause an increase in members. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Why did AOD decide to merge into Lightning? Why did this merge ║ ║ happen, how long has this merged been planned before it was taken ║ ║ into effect? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: Well, from what I know, AOD decided to merge due to the fact that ║ ║ they weren't getting noticed by the scene and weren't couriering ║ ║ enough to keep them as a group. The merge happened because they ║ ║ had no place to go or couldn't move forward because they weren't ║ ║ competing with any other of the courier groups in the scene. I ║ ║ think it was planned a few days in advance. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You are now a senior member of Lightning, were you a senior before ║ ║ the merge? Were you a leader in AOD when AOD merged into ║ ║ Lightning, or have you always been a member of Lightning? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: Well, when I started in Lightning, I started as an IRC ║ ║ Coordinator, which was a senior postion, and yes, I was a senior ║ ║ when the merge occured. I wasn't really a part in helping make ║ ║ the merge take place. Darksoul had a major role with getting the ║ ║ merge to happen. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How has Lightning's role in the scene changed since the merge? ║ ║ Has the merge made Lightning a more respectable courier group? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: The merge has made Lightning a more powerful couriering force in ║ ║ the scene. Before the merge, we lacked couriers, and this merge ║ ║ has brought us more couriers which means we'll be doing a better ║ ║ job on sites and offering. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How did the merge take place, were all AOD couriers accepted into ║ ║ Lightning, or did very few AOD couriers make it into Lightning? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: Most of the couriers made it into Lightning, the people who didn't ║ ║ want to merge were given a chance to join, but there were very few ║ ║ people who didn't want to merge, so we gained a lot of new ║ ║ couriers out of the merge. The merge was decided in channel #AOD ║ ║ where all the decisions were made. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Were there any ex-AOD seniors or leaders that are now leaders in ║ ║ Lightning? Or was this strictly a group takeover, where Lightning ║ ║ absorbed AOD? In other words, do ex-AOD seniors or leaders have a ║ ║ say in what goes on in Lightning? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: No, the highest postion that any of the AOD members got were ║ ║ coordinators, and senior FTP/IRC traders, but most of them became ║ ║ couriers and a few artist also. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You freely claim that Lightning is now a new powerful force in the ║ ║ scene, but what can Lightning do to back up the scene's ║ ║ expectations? What makes Lightning different from the various ║ ║ courier groups out there, what makes Lightning stand out? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: Well, now that we have more man power, we're more able to ║ ║ acomplish more goals and standards. Lightning has been ║ ║ reoraganized since the merge and is ready to show what it can do. ║ ║ We're different because of the fact that we have experienced ║ ║ leaders and couriers. Most of our seniors and highers are from ║ ║ various different groups in the IBM/PC scene which makes them very ║ ║ experienced and some have also run their own gorups at one time. ║ ║ I think the name and the names of the people running the group ║ ║ makes the group stand out even more. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What are the future plans for Lightning? Is Lightning planning to ║ ║ head up its own offer channel modeling itself after groups such as ║ ║ FATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) and Motiv8, or is Lightning ║ ║ planning to stick to board/site couriering, thus modeling itself ║ ║ after groups such as Amnesia and RISC (Rise in Superior ║ ║ Couriering)? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: For now, I don't think Lightning is going to open a leech channel ║ ║ due to the fact that most members don't want one and also because ║ ║ there's no to have one. Those channels only help to try and get ║ ║ the group more respect, by having an offer channel, which I think ║ ║ is a waste of time and energy since there are so many now. We're ║ ║ planning to get into more serious FTP sites and get up on the FTP ║ ║ charts. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: The FTP charts, to what are you referring to? ║ ║ ║ ║ █LGT█: Well, everyone knows that RCN displays the best couriers on the ║ ║ Internet, and so Lightning would like to get up there on the RCN ║ ║ charts. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ The AOD - Lightning Merge ║ ║ ------------------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ There have been some questions about the Angels of Death (AOD) and ║ ║ Lightning merge. I hope to answer some of these questions in the ║ ║ following paragraphs. ║ ║ ║ ║ Because of school and other commitments, Nightsky, President of AOD, ║ ║ felt he could not give the group the stable leadership that it deserves. ║ ║ However, he did not want to see the group, that he and others worked so ║ ║ hard to establish, just die and be forgotten. ║ ║ ║ ║ Fearing that the group might die after losing the strong leadership ║ ║ of Nightsky and Morbid, who left because of personal reasons, the option ║ ║ of merging into Lightning was presented to the members. After a lengthy ║ ║ discussion, a vote was taken and 75% of the AOD membership voted to ║ ║ merge into Lightning. ║ ║ ║ ║ There was a general consensus that Lightning has strong, stable ║ ║ leadership and an excellent Internet team, while AOD has excellent FTP ║ ║ and BBS divisions. Combining the two groups will make Lightning an ║ ║ unstopable force in the scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ When asked about the merge and what it will do for Lightning, ║ ║ Darksoul, the Lightning President said, "It is the best move that both ║ ║ groups could have made. It gives us (Lightning) what we have been ║ ║ lacking for the last few weeks and makes us even stronger than ever ║ ║ before. We now have stronger leadership (if that's possible), an ║ ║ improved IRC/FTP division, and an absolutely oustanding BBS division. I ║ ║ look for us to be one of the top courier groups very very soon!" ║ ║ ║ ║ Nightsky had the following to say about the merge, "I hope, thanks ║ ║ to the input of the AOD couriers and members, that Lightning will be a ║ ║ ruling force in the scene in a short time." ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Mystic One ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Airwalk ║ ║ Subject : CCA Overview Affiliation : CCA President ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How did CCA (Central Crime Association) come about?

We have teams ║ ║ taking 2 sites or more, those teams just focus on those sites. ║ ║ For example, Team A takes on the WHQ and the US-HQ, team B takes ║ ║ on the EHQ and the Norway HQ, team C takes on two other distro ║ ║ sites, and so on. There are 4 teams in CCA, they each are ║ ║ dedicated, and willing. I am just around to keep everyone inline, ║ ║ and working. If they don't work and I have no use for them, they ║ ║ get kicked out. I have a lot of good and dedicated people like ║ ║ Toosmooth, the CCA Vice President, and Fabfive a very good council ║ ║ member, and Dupe, who all play very big rolls in CCA. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Your team seems to be presented very well, how did you come about ║ ║ with such a strong team? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CCA█: It sort of came about as Midhack's idea. Midhack is a very good ║ ║ courier, and he has alot of good ideas, and his idea really helped ║ ║ out CCA with me modifying his idea. Midhack is also CCA's Head ║ ║ Courier. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: In making CCA a good courier group, it must be doing something ║ ║ that makes it special or extraordinary, what might that be? What ║ ║ makes CCA different from the myriad of other courier groups out ║ ║ there? What separates it from being second class? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CCA█: CCA isn't like any other courier group because we are mainly made ║ ║ up of friends and leaders. What I would think of CCA that makes ║ ║ it special is its name Central Crime Association. CCA is sort of ║ ║ a gang, not a courier group. It's just a group of people hanging ║ ║ out supporting the warez community, we try as much as possible to ║ ║ get our warez to the public, we don't just trade among ourselves, ║ ║ we also trade with public people. And that's the truth. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I never said you lied. Anyway, are there any plans for CCA to ║ ║ start up its own offer channel following the footsteps of groups ║ ║ such as FATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) and Motiv8? ║ ║ ║ ║ █CCA█: We already have an offer channel shared with other courier groups. ║ ║ We ran #THCfiles until THC died. What a bummer, and now, CCA ║ ║ started and other groups started a thing called CrimeXnet, our ║ ║ offer channel is in channel #Xnet, a very good offer channel ║ ║ indeed. CCA's offer team frequents there very well. However, our ║ ║ IRC Head Courier, manages all the things that pass through #Xnet, ║ ║ he is CCA's representative for #Xnet, and the other groups have ║ ║ their representatives as well. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄▄ ▄▄█ r c n ▄▄██▄ ▄██▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ██▌▄▄▀▀ ▐██▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ███ ▀▀░██▄ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ░██ ▐██▌▄▐██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▌■▀ ▀▀██▌▐▀ ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀██ ██▄ ░░ ███ ▐██▌░░ ███ ██▌░ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ░█▌▀▀ ▄ ▄██▀ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ░░░ ░▄ ░▐██ ░ ▐████▐██ ▐██▌ ▐██ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌▐█▌▐█▀ ▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▌ ██▀ █████ ██▌ ███▄▐██▌ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ █▌█▌ █▄ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄▄██▀██▐█▌ ▐█████▌▐██▌ ▄██▀ ░█▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀ ▄█░▌ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀█▀ ▀░▀ ▀▀▀░██▌▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀ i n t e r v i e w s ! ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Reporter : Ravan Interviewee : FBI Boy ║ ║ Subject : Razor DUPES on Quake!? Affiliation : Coredump Senior ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: What is your view on the Razor/Coredump release of Quake last ║ ║ week? ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: Razor duped. It was close, but Coredump beat Razor to the boards ║ ║ and to the Internet. Rumors went around that the Coredump release ║ ║ of Quake did not work, but that is not true. People only say that ║ ║ because while we were spreading Quake, one of the copies had 3 ║ ║ disks screwed up and they where distributed incorrectly to several ║ ║ popular sites. Those disks have since been deleted and replaced ║ ║ by working ones. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: You claim that Coredump beat Razor to the boards AND the Internet? ║ ║ I've been hearing that Coredump beat Razor to the Internet, but ║ ║ NOT on boards, can you explain this? ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: Razor got it to their boards before we did, but we got it to A ║ ║ board first. We also got it to the FTP sites LA and BBX before ║ ║ Razor had it on ANY board. I personally have nothing against ║ ║ Razor and I think that they are a GREAT group, but they lost on ║ ║ this one. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Ok, but do you acknowledge that Razor won on the Internet, even ║ ║ though a release is usually judged by who gets it on the boards ║ ║ first? ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: No, Razor definitely lost on the Internet. You may see it on a ║ ║ few sites because the siteops don't have the balls to delete a ║ ║ Razor release. Plain and simple. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: How many disks of the Coredump release made it to the Internet by ║ ║ the time Razor put one disk up? ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: All of them. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: REALLY??? ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: Yes. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: I have tested the Coredump version of Quake. It's very good and I ║ ║ have found no bugs, at least not yet, but it took me forever to ║ ║ find. However, I could find the Razor version everywhere, why ║ ║ would this be if Coredump's version was uploaded first and Razor's ║ ║ version is a dupe? Wouldn't the siteops nuke Razor's version ║ ║ since it was a dupe? ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: The reason for that is because most siteops don't know about ║ ║ Coredump and they do know Razor. So they go with Razor because ║ ║ they don't know any better. Most siteops don't have the balls to ║ ║ nuke a Razor release. They just think that Razor is perfect ║ ║ quality and that they never dupe. Also, Coredump's reputation has ║ ║ had a checkered past so siteops that do know about Coredump are ║ ║ apprehensive to leave ours on and nuke Razor's. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Are you referring to the uncracked NHL Power Play released by ║ ║ Coredump as the checkered past? ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: Yup... ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: If you did dupe Razor, and I'm not saying you did, then why did ║ ║ you do it? ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: We did NOT dupe Razor! If you think so, you are WRONG! We had it ║ ║ first and I believe Razor has come to terms with it somewhat ║ ║ though they are still upset they were beat. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Also, this may seem strange, but there seems to be a Napalm ║ ║ file.diz in the Coredump release of Quake, can you tell me why? ║ ║ ║ ║ /\ ║ ║ . ____ / >______. . _____.________:. ║ ║ .: \ \ /_\___. \__::> /:\ Y/'96:. ║ ║ :: / . / \| __/ \:/ /__/ \ .: ║ ║ ./ \__/ " \ > " <______> \_/___>: ║ ║ `< /:<___\___>/___\___>. <_____>:. :. ║ ║ \/ .:. |/:. .:.mr! .:. .:: . ║ ║ CLOSE COMBAT FOR WINDOWS 95' ║ ║ (c) MICROSOFT [01/11] ║ ║ ║ ║ █FBI█: Yes, the file_id.diz was messed up in the Coredump release, but ║ ║ that is it.

This has happened several times, I don't put all of this ║ ║ hard work in for nothing. I offered everyday when it opened, and ║ ║ asked all my friends to also.

The channel ║ ║ isn't run by Core, like channel #Exceed is run by FATE and channel ║ ║ #M8Leech is run by Motiv8, channel #Phatfiles is made up of ║ ║ several groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ █RCN█: Stank-e claims that Palm, who used to run channel #M8Leech, ║ ║ decided to start the channel #Phatfiles.

I've heard from two reliable sources that the RCMP (Royal ║ ║ Canadian Mounted Police) is hitting Toronto hard. Beyond Akira, a ║ ║ bulletin board run by Pharaoh of Razor 1911, was busted on the morning ║ ║ of the 30th of July. Here are a few anonymous comments I held with some ║ ║ people about it. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ <Digitex> Can I get some information on Beyond Akira being busted? I ║ ║ hear it was the RCMP and I see that the Beyond Akira nodes and ║ ║ telnet are down. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Anon> Yes, the RCMP busted it this morning. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Digitex> Are there any official letters out that could clear up the ║ ║ situation as of yet? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Anon> There aren't any official letters out on the situation yet, but I ║ ║ think they are being worked on. I am just finding the information ║ ║ as it comes, but it was verified about 2 to 3 minutes ago. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Digitex> Where is your information coming from? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Anon> This information is from a reliable source in the 416/905 area ║ ║ codes. Well, if you want some more information, the RCMP formed ║ ║ a group a few months ago to stop the piracy in Canada. 6 months ║ ║ ago in Montreal, 12 boards went down, some time after that, they ║ ║ formed the coalition, and now as it looks, they are hitting ║ ║ Toronto. There are always busts of this nature around here. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Digitex> Where can I find some information about this RCMP coalition? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Anon> Well, I don't know about that much about the coalition, but the ║ ║ RCMP formed something a few months ago to try to end the piracy. ║ ║ All the elites of 416/905 should keep an eye out though. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Digitex> When the RCMP raided Beyond Akira, do you know how much warez ║ ║ was found? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Anon2> Well, there were approximately 140 gigs worth of warez found. I ║ ║ am not sure as to the exact meggage, but the information about ║ ║ the 140 gigs was leaked out by a X-Force Senior, so I do not ║ ║ know first hand. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Well, that's it for the comments. Here are some of my own ║ ║ speculations on this. If it's true that the RCMP is coming down on ║ ║ Toronto as hard as it seems, then the 416 and 905 area codes had REALLY ║ ║ better watch out. I realize that it's sometimes much more difficult to ║ ║ bust smaller boards, but at the same time, they are all run by people, ║ ║ and the RCMP or FBI or whatever can get to them just as easily. So, if ║ ║ you're running a board in the 416 or 905 area codes, I highly suggest ║ ║ you lay low for a while. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Well it finally happened at 7:45 am today Tuesday 30 July 1996 the ║ ║ R.C.M.P. and the Toronto Metro Task force Stormed the Fortress's of the ║ ║ Great Pharoah's they attacked the Pyramid's and tore down the Great ║ ║ walls ....and what did they find???? you ask, well they found the great ║ ║ Pharoah getting ready for work and they also found the Awesome board ║ ║ AKIRA up and running and recieving files at the rate of 2 Gigs a ║ ║ week.....WOW what a snag for the moronic police force...damn amazing ║ ║ that they caught the guy after only 4 years and what is more amazing is ║ ║ that he only lives 300 yards away from a police station. Makes you ║ ║ wonder how much easier could Pharoah have made it for them??? But none ║ ║ the less they finally caught on ...:) well people as of today we have ║ ║ lost the best board in the 416/905 area code and the best board in the ║ ║ world.A great loss to the pirate community. ║ ║ ║ ║ All I have to say is that they better dig up a good expert that ║ ║ knows how to run an Amiga so they can find what was on his HD's cause if ║ ║ they stick them in a PC they are screwed (which they probably will try ║ ║ and do). ║ ║ ║ ║ After many conversations about the baord and his personal feelings ║ ║ about piracy with Pharoah I can say that yeah he has ALOT of BALL's and ║ ║ they probably did drag him out of his place kicking and screaming before ║ ║ he placed a few well meant calls to some unnamed people to warn the ║ ║ Toronto Pirate scene that it's coming down HIDE YOUR BOARDS be CAREFULL ║ ║ of who you allow in the door without checking first. ║ ║ ║ ║ A fund will be setup so you can send your donations to the SAVE ║ ║ AKIRA FROM THE FEDS or we'll just use the money to buy a camel for him ║ ║ to make his escape back to Egypt (ride boy ride)...:) ║ ║ ║ ║ Well if any of you have any remarks or comments KEEP THEM TO ║ ║ YOURSELF the man went down BIG and PROUD to the last he was not one of ║ ║ these snivling little RATS that most pirateers are, soon as they are ║ ║ faced with a prospect of going to jail they rat everyone and everthing ║ ║ they know to the PIGS, and i have proof of that statment ║ ║ ║ ║ The INTERNET has brought in a NEW BREED of pirates "LAME ONES" and ║ ║ as far as I am concerned the GOOD OLD DAYS are gone forever now all you ║ ║ get is LAME ASS NET MONKEY'S trading anything they find on the net (bet ║ ║ you the cops have a hard time charging Pharoah cause of all the ║ ║ shareware they find on his HD's) and to make matters worse they think ║ ║ they are SPECIAL what a bunch of WAZZOO's anyone now with an Internet ║ ║ account is a pirate...that makes it a SELECT FEW doesn't it there was a ║ ║ certain RESPECT from the older PIRATE'S that is not there today there ║ ║ was a unwritten code among them, there was a good old rivalry and ║ ║ friendship that just goes not exist today, and it is rapidly disappering ║ ║ with the older pirates like Pharoah.

Actually, I am the one who released it. ║ ║ ║ ║ *** Grimm is now known as Trite ║ ║ ║ ║ <Trite> The only reason why people read RCN is because of Xenon's ║ ║ coding.

However, near the demise of the first RCN ║ ║ at issue 13, Road Rebel was made an editor of RCN and was thus given a ║ ║ copy of the RCN compiler to continue RCN's legacy. Road Rebel then ║ ║ asked Entropy to help run RCN with him because they were good friends at ║ ║ the time. Since Entropy would also be considered an editor, he too ║ ║ received a copy of the RCN compiler from Road Rebel. However, a few ║ ║ weeks later, Entropy uh.. "broke up" with Road Rebel, and their ║ ║ relationship has failed since. After their break up, Entropy has never ║ ║ stopped harrassing Road Rebel. As far as I am aware, Entropy continues ║ ║ to harrass Road Rebel daily by doing immature IRC acts to Road Rebel ║ ║ here and there. ║ ║ ║ ║ In these last couple weeks, to stand up for Road Rebel against ║ ║ Entropy's immature acts, I too it upon myself to make fun of Entropy by ║ ║ having Mad-RCN utter the words in my chipmunked voice (through Sound ║ ║ Blaster), "Entropy is a fag." I called Entropy a fag because in many ║ ║ ways, he is a fag. However, at present, he doesn't seem to be able to ║ ║ leave me alone either, and he constantly messages me on IRC, "Hi Rebel ║ ║ Chicken, you're my hero!" I shutter to think of what Entropy messages ║ ║ to Road Rebel. Road Rebel is too ashamed to mention them to me. ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyhow, it also happens to be that Trite and Entropy live in the ║ ║ same area code, and they are good friends in real life. So Entropy dug ║ ║ up the RCN compiler from months ago, and gave it to his friend Trite, ║ ║ who also happens to be a half decent coder. Now, from this point on, I ║ ║ can only speculate that Entropy asked Trite to use the RCN compiler to ║ ║ make a fake RCN issue. After all, Trite and Entropy here have access to ║ ║ a very secretive RCN compiler which they could use to make a very ║ ║ realistic looking RCN issue. However, since Trite could not figure out ║ ║ how to use the RCN compiler, and it was of no use to either of them ║ ║ anymore, Trite simply trojaned/virused the RCN compiler and released it ║ ║ to the masses in an attempt to hurt RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ Needless to say, neither Trite nor Entropy will ever see the likes ║ ║ of the updated RCN compilers. As a precaution, I then asked Hitex to ║ ║ give Entropy a phone call, and Hitex has taken care of everything since ║ ║ then. And as a further precaution, I'll be snail mailing Entropy a ║ ║ little letter. The content of the letter is of no relevance to anyone ║ ║ but Trite and Entropy. However, if I do think my letter is funny, it'll ║ ║ find a spot in future publications the secret Mad-RCN. ║ ║ ║ ║ In some ways, Trite and Entropy has taught RCN how to keep certain ║ ║ securities in a dimmer light, and thanks be to them. However, Hitex and ║ ║ I have been comtemplating on releasing a public version of an older RCN ║ ║ compiler, and if we decide to do so, it'll of course, be a RCN compiler ║ ║ that is non trojaned/virused and should also contain interactive ║ ║ features that are an improvement on the one that is currently available. ║ ║ The current RCN compiler used is 1.2 megabytes zipped, and the ║ ║ trojaned/virused version released by Trite is approximately 128 kbs ║ ║ zipped. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Rebel Chicken ║ ║ Subject : The Death of Razor 1911? ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The following is a log file of channel #Prestige between TRC (The ║ ║ Renegade Chemist), a leader of Prestige, and Druidkin, a leader of Razor ║ ║ 1911. TRC claims that Razor's death is eminent and coming shortly. Is ║ ║ this just a petty argument between two rival groups or has TRC been ║ ║ smoking too much weed? I think it's the later, but don't just trust my ║ ║ judgement, check out TRC's fucked up logic for yourself. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> The fact remains that Razor is about to lose to Prestige for the ║ ║ 3rd month in a row by a huge margin, and I think it's pretty damn ║ ║ funny. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> What about that shit Bicycle card game release? That was a ║ ║ shit release by Budget Masters. ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> Razor has had some good releases this month. It's doing better ║ ║ than the previous 2 months for sure, but still, Razor loses again ║ ║ to Prestige. ║ ║ ║ ║ <MadTurnip> Shit, I hope I'm not missing an argument here. ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> That "shit Bicycle card game" is a lot better than Operation ║ ║ Carnage or some of the other CRAP Razor has been putting out. ║ ║ Prestige will be glad to keep putting out quality releases and ║ ║ we'll continue to beat Razor asses into the floor. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Ah... ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> When you have something to brag about, you can come back and ║ ║ attempt to attack our position. At this point in time, you got ║ ║ NOTHING. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Eric, I really missed your sarcasm. ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> And don't call me by my first name you little punk. YOU don't ║ ║ know ME. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Little punk? ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> Yes, little punk! Which is exactly what you are, a do-nothing, ║ ║ TSR (The Speed Racer) ass-kissing little punk. You used to just ║ ║ hang out in channel #Razor, but I guess now that everyone else is ║ ║ hanging out in channel #Prestige, you had to venture into the dark ║ ║ unknown. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> I'll stand on my merits old man. I came to talk but I can ║ ║ see that you are too lame as usual. ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> Merits? What merits? I wasn't aware that you had any. I didn't ║ ║ think you were capable of intelligent conversation. Sure thing ║ ║ buddy, the flavor of the month is Prestige, and last time I ║ ║ checked, we are steam rolling Razor's ass. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> People care about quality, not quantity. ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> Sure thing buddy, that wasn't your mantra last month, so I'm ║ ║ fairly certain that the only reason you haven't put out a little ║ ║ more variety this month is a result of your inability to beat us ║ ║ to even the small titles. The only games you guys win on are the ║ ║ ones you get early and that's pretty sad. We've slammed the door ║ ║ on Razor EVERYWHERE else. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Sorry TRC, but Razor has standards. ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> Razor will release anything it can get its sorry hands on. ║ ║ Unfortunately, it can't get its hands on much. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> Stick with your budget releases. People want quality, and ║ ║ for that, they come to Razor. ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> Sure, we'll stick with our budget, and if people want quality they ║ ║ can grab the Prestige release of Links LS. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> You've got more ego, I'll agree with that. ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> Believe whatever you like, Prestige has got more experience ║ ║ dumbass. Razor's a rookie group. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Druidkin> You have more experience being a dumbass? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Tok> TRC, do you think Razor is dead? ║ ║ ║ ║ <TRC> Druidkin, I feel the need to point out to you that I don't give a ║ ║ rat's ass what ANYONE thinks about me in the scene. I am only in ║ ║ the scene to win, and I will do so. Razor's not dead yet, but it ║ ║ will be by the end of the year. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ TRC claims the Links LS golf game as one of Prestige's quality ║ ║ releases. For information on that release, refer to RCN #23 and you ║ ║ will notice that Links LS was anything but quality. It was badly ripped ║ ║ and if TRC has to fall back on a badly ripped Prestige release, then it ║ ║ must mean that Prestige does not have much to fall on these days. ║ ║ ║ ║ On the note of Razor, TRC claims that Razor is a rookie group, I ║ ║ don't know what kind of crack he's smoking, but last time I checked, ║ ║ Razor is a hell of a lot more established than Prestige. Razor has been ║ ║ around long before Prestige got its first P, and that's a fact he cannot ║ ║ argue. Where does he come up with this stuff? He must have been ║ ║ seriously baked. ║ ║ ║ ║ On the note of quality, I must agree with Druidkin, people care ║ ║ about quality, not quantity. I can name numerous 40+ disk Prestige ║ ║ releases that have turned out to be a waste of time because they were ║ ║ either freeware crap, or they were releases that were not properly ║ ║ packaged and thus, was not in a working condition. Razor is far ║ ║ perfect, and I can numerous fuckups by Razor as well, but when comparing ║ ║ cdrips by Razor and cdrips by Prestige, it goes hands down that Razor is ║ ║ much more experienced and careful with their releases. TRC needs to ║ ║ review his own group before he starts passing judgements on how his ║ ║ group is so much this and that better than this and that. ║ ║ ║ ║ However, TRC does not stop there, he goes even farther by claiming ║ ║ that Razor will disband by the end of the year. Let's see, at present, ║ ║ it's August of 1996 and Razor has been around since uh... October of ║ ║ 1984. Let's see now, who here thinks Razor will last a few more months ║ ║ hey? Don't raise your hand, that was a rhetorical question. Anyhow, ║ ║ who knows, maybe TRC meant to say that Prestige will disband by the end ║ ║ of the year. After all, if you look at TRC's track record, nearly every ║ ║ games group he's been a part of in the last 2 years did very well for a ║ ║ few months and then went on a fuck up rampage shortly after he joined ║ ║ (i.e. Eclipse, Dynamix, Hybrid, etc.). ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Da Phreak ║ ║ Subject : An Overview of Core ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Since there seems to be a large interest in the newly merged group ║ ║ Core, I would like to tell you some things about Core, opinions in Core, ║ ║ and future plans from 3 members of Core. There will also be a fourth ║ ║ member, me, since I am also in Core, I will add my opinions where I feel ║ ║ necesarry. ║ ║ ║ ║ The Beginning ║ ║ ------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ Core started off as a merger between the two courier groups Total ║ ║ Kaos and Violation. Core still has two presidents, Edge and Stank-e. ║ ║ Edge will explain the merger for us : ║ ║ ║ ║ <DaPhreak> What excactly caused the merger between Total Kaos and ║ ║ Violation? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Edge> Well, we had similar members and we did the same shit, so I ║ ║ thought it'd be best if the two groups worked together. ║ ║ ║ ║ A rather straight foward explanation, but it is the reason. Core ║ ║ has been around for about 2 or 3 months now, and Core is making some ║ ║ waves in the hypothetical trading pool of the scene. The IRC Team ║ ║ concept, thought up by Edge and Stank-e has been a massive help to ║ ║ channel #Phatfiles which is an offering channel for tons of other small ║ ║ courier groups. Core also has very high expectations of their new ║ ║ members. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Dallion> We keep up the tight screening process for new memebers so we ║ ║ can't just let everyone into the group. Applicants must first ║ ║ prove themselves capable of being a part of Core. This method ║ ║ has helped keep out all the 10 year old kids who just want to ║ ║ leech. ║ ║ ║ ║ Core has moved up to the ranks of the other top courier groups. ║ ║ Core's top FTP courier SaltyDogg, has been consistently moving more and ║ ║ more megs each week. He is averaging 500 megs per week, and is moving ║ ║ more and more each week. This isn't behind the standards set by some of ║ ║ the other groups, and will get Core at the top of the heap in a short ║ ║ time. ║ ║ ║ ║ <DaPhreak> What, in your opinion, should be done in Core in order to ║ ║ make it one of the top courier groups? ║ ║ ║ ║ <SaltyDogg> I think Core needs to focus on moving warez and getting its ║ ║ name out in the scene more. ║ ║ ║ ║ <DaPhreak> What are your opinions of the scene that Core has to reach? ║ ║ ║ ║ <SaltyDogg> I think that the scene has too many ego problems. Everyone ║ ║ thinks that they are the best courier or that they are in ║ ║ the best group. I believe that people like that should ║ ║ concentrate more on moving warez and releasing quality ║ ║ warez. ║ ║ ║ ║ I myself think that people in the scene do have ego problems. ║ ║ Nobody likes to see these petty arguments such as, "We are better, your ║ ║ group is nothing but full of lamers!" But I mean, RCN points out when a ║ ║ group outright messes up at something, and that's acceptable, but I ║ ║ don't think that the people writing letters to RCN should use their ║ ║ letters as an instigator for some of these fights. RCN is here to ║ ║ congratulate the people who are working hard and to point out the things ║ ║ that people do wrong. I feel that this article should be informative to ║ ║ those who have not yet heard of Core, and it should also be informative ║ ║ to those who are set out on starting their own courier group. This ║ ║ above was not just 3 short interviews, but rather, it was a collection ║ ║ of quotes from interviews which I employed. The rest of the article is ║ ║ going to be written using the information I gained from the intervews. ║ ║ ║ ║ Core is one of the few young courier groups out there that is ║ ║ showing potential in its ability to stay alive. Core won't just ║ ║ disappear from the scene in a few weeks, it's here, and it's here to ║ ║ stay. Core's IRC Team concept will revolutionize the way the average ║ ║ downloader will receive his or her warez. The planned 24/7 bots, 5 to ║ ║ 10 bots on each team, focusing on separate categories (i.e. 0 day, ║ ║ games/utils) offering in channel #Phatfiles will definitely help Core ║ ║ change the way the end users get warez. ║ ║ ║ ║ Core is made up of a team of dedicated couriers, not a group made up ║ ║ of inactive members or leechers that don't play a "team game." Core has ║ ║ an intricate working team, yes a team. Everyone has a job, and they do ║ ║ that job. If someone doesn't perform up to par, a new person will get a ║ ║ chance to do that job. Core has a lot of IRC couriers, I know that ║ ║ because I am one of them. But, IRC is where you are at. This is what ║ ║ you guys want, and Core stands behind it. Core stands behind the whole ║ ║ concept of mass couriering.

He goes by a few handles on IRC, namely ^abe^, possibly ║ ║ ^pest^ (his alias is pestilence, and no, not anyone in the scene that we ║ ║ all know of). His host almost always includes "*!*ingers*." If you ║ ║ know him, ban/kick/kill him (literally) or something. ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyway, he was caught basically red-handed with numerous credit card ║ ║ receipts, carded merchandise, and t-philez about carding and shit. ║ ║ Well, in order to save his own little ass, we were implicated. With us ║ ║ being local and all, and the cops freaking out about all the shit they ║ ║ found (mainly all the t-philez), me and a friend suddenly found ║ ║ ourselves called to the cop shop for "our version" of the story. ║ ║ Luckily, we knew what was happening and talked beforehand in great ║ ║ detail about everything (minus the 15 year old fuck). I was straight ║ ║ with the cop when I told him that I'd been through the whole "gestapo ║ ║ interrogation" before, and to skip it. I really wasn't in the mood for ║ ║ a pig to be yelling in my face that day. In turn, he told me that I ║ ║ would not be placed under arrest today (bah, yeah right, like I haven't ║ ║ been told that before or nothing), and gave me a smoke. :) ║ ║ ║ ║ Ok, I thought, he's going to go the "I'm your friend" route with me. ║ ║ Mr. Pig talked in detail about how he had already talked with the FBI, ║ ║ but the Secret Service were the ones who liked to handle computer ║ ║ crimes, and they were debating whether to pick up the investigation. ║ ║ The cops had information that could've only been gained through Abe or a ║ ║ phone tap. Anyway, to make a long story short, I talked with the cop, ║ ║ and my friend got the "gestapo" route (sucked to be him). Another ║ ║ interesting note is that my friend talked to the cops first. The cop ║ ║ actually told him that *I* had already told him (the cop) all about how ║ ║ he (my friend) was the guilty party BEFORE I even talked to the cops! ║ ║ My friend knew better through our constant communication, kept his cool, ║ ║ and stuck to our story. ║ ║ ║ ║ The cop was right though, I wasn't arrested, in fact, no one but the ║ ║ 15 year old was. Nothing about warez ever entered the picture. ║ ║ However, I do suspect that my phone along with my friend's phone was ║ ║ tapped at one point in time, and my friend actually did have a white van ║ ║ with green-G plates tail him for a few days. From what I understand, ║ ║ the 15 year old has already been through the court thing, and got ║ ║ probation or something, because I just saw him on IRC the other day. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now, all the time this kid was carding, he kept saying, "Oh, I'm ║ ║ only 15, the worst they can do to me is put me in juvie until I'm 18." ║ ║ I explained to him several times that I was already on Intense Probation ║ ║ for felony convictions, and that if I was arrested, I'd go to the joint ║ ║ for several years, and he would be dead once I got out. Unfortunately, ║ ║ that didn't stop him from rolling over on me for one second. So, to put ║ ║ it all in perspective : ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.) If you're of legal age, NEVER trust a minor. NEVER NEVER NEVER! ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) If you're already on probation, stick to warez, much safer. ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) NEVER talk on the phone about anything illegal if there's even a ║ ║ remote reason to suspect your line is tapped, better safe than ║ ║ sorry! ║ ║ ║ ║ 4.) I might be mistaken, but I believe that FedEx is still ║ ║ considered a private company. Meaning that if you use them to ║ ║ ship your carded stuff, you can't be busted for mail fraud as ║ ║ well if/when you do get busted. ║ ║ ║ ║ 5.) If you are called in for questioning, keep your wits about you, ║ ║ and remember that cops will *LIE* to manipulate you into ║ ║ thinking exactly what they want you to think. Stick to your ║ ║ story, or call a lawyer. ║ ║ ║ ║ 6.) One more thing, if the FBI/Secret Service is called in, you are ║ ║ basically FUCKED. They have the power to really do anything ║ ║ they want, legal or otherwise. They have the resources and ║ ║ tools to place bugs, laser listeners, and shit you've never ║ ║ heard of. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Airwalk ║ ║ Subject : Microsoft Busts Airman!? ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ ######### Windows NT Workstation 4.0 final Build 1381 ###### ║ ║ #CCA Release ║ ║ Installable from previous winnt version Rate: 10/10+ ║ ║ and from dos. ║ ║ ######### Windows NT Workstation 4.0 final Build 1381 ###### ║ ║ ║ ║ Supplied by <WITHELD> ║ ║ Packed by <WITHEHLD> ║ ║ Comments: Thanks for MS shipping WINNT wks final to <WITHELD>. ║ ║ Thanks for <WIthheld> contributing his winnt 4.0 final. ║ ║ ║ ║ This is <WITHHELD> and you could find me in #cca in Efnet. ║ ║ /away I am always away and will never be back. ║ ║ ║ ║ Packed at #CCA <WITHHELD>, HQ, <WITHHELD, <WITHHELD> 4XXXX ║ ║ ║ ║ Sponsored by Student Judicial Affair at <WITHHELD> University ║ ║ University Technology Service at <WITHHELD University ║ ║ UNITS at <WITHEHLD> University ║ ║ #CCA in Efent ║ ║ ║ ║ Note: MS release day:07/31/1996 ║ ║ at <WITHELD> release day: 08/02/1996 ║ ║ #cca release day: 08/02/1996 ║ ║ ║ ║ Disclaimer: This release of Winnt 4.0 final is for academic use only, ║ ║ If you need winnt workstation 4.0 final build 1381 for commercial use, ║ ║ contact Microsoft corporation. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ The above was the nfo provided in the CCA release of Win NT v4.0 ║ ║ Workstation. The supplier, Airman, decided to release Win NT because ║ ║ all the releases out to date where pathetic too say the least (i.e. no ║ ║ drivers or you can't install from previous NT). So he decided to grab a ║ ║ copy of NT from the University. He (by himself) ripped it off the CD ║ ║ and packaged it around 2:00 am last night. The 47 disk release was ║ ║ quickly spread and he went to bed thinking it was quite a success. At ║ ║ this time, I too went to sleep as well not thinking much of it, but I ║ ║ was shocked when I came onto IRC the next day. ║ ║ ║ ║ It seems that Microsoft (within a few hours of the relesae) got ║ ║ ahold of a copy of this release. Living up to Microsoft's reputation, ║ ║ Microsoft emailed someone at the University requesting more information ║ ║ on the supplier. This email had the file_id.diz attatched to it to show ║ ║ proof of the grounds of their claims. I haven't seen this email, but I ║ ║ was assured that it was LEGIT. The folks at the University now had to ║ ║ uncover what exactly happened (not knowing who or what Airman is). I ║ ║ was told that they are working on finding out who he is, and that they ║ ║ are also complying with Microsoft's requests for more information on him ║ ║ to their best efforts. No one has seen Airman since last night, and the ║ ║ outcome of this towards him has yet to be finalized. ║ ║ ║ ║ Airman is most likely a free man now, and hopefully, he will stay ║ ║ that way throughout this Microsoft investigation. Microsoft seems to ║ ║ want to bust this guy who never released anything before, instead of ║ ║ going after higher end "law-breakers."

Before you lock-and-load your industrial strength flame ║ ║ thrower, keep in mind that I'm wearing my asbestos boxer shorts. ║ ║ ║ ║ Not that many years ago, 95% of us had two ways of trading our ║ ║ favorite warez goodies. Most of our ill-gotten booty came from a small ║ ║ cadre of friends and aquaintances during coffee-break trading sessions ║ ║ or at the weekly AD&D game. We could also get the occasional ware from ║ ║ our local, semi-legitimate BBSes. If we were really lucky, we had a ║ ║ friend-of-a-friend that knew somebody that got us an account on a pirate ║ ║ board where we could leech to our heart's content until we had either ║ ║ maxxed out our 270 meg hard drive or sucked up everything they had to ║ ║ offer. I didn't know anyone with access to the really BIG boards, but I ║ ║ was aware of their existance. ║ ║ ║ ║ The Internet back in those days was the playground of academia, the ║ ║ government and a fortunate few who's companies used the Internet for ║ ║ transferring files between distant sites. At that time, gopher was ║ ║ about as sophisticated as it got. FTP was quite popular, but if there ║ ║ was a warez scene back then, it was well-hidden and not well organized. ║ ║ Since few PC owners had access, most of the interest was in UNIX ║ ║ programs and utilities. ║ ║ ║ ║ Those were the glory days of the BBS scene. The big boards were the ║ ║ lifeblood of distribution then, and anything worth leeching was in that ║ ║ channel. Files were relatively small and you could download even the ║ ║ best stuff in a single evening at 2400 bps. ║ ║ ║ ║ Those days are gone. ║ ║ ║ ║ We stand now at the threshold, the nexus between two realities. The ║ ║ big boards are still popular and important to the scene, but the ║ ║ emphasis is slowly shifting away from them and toward the free-wheeling ║ ║ world of the Internet. The days of the iron fisted control, exclusive ║ ║ access and long distance calling are over. We have tasted the wild west ║ ║ flavor of the Internet, we've enjoyed its anonymity, and we will not go ║ ║ back. ║ ║ ║ ║ Many of you will object to this line of reasoning, some vehemently, ║ ║ but consider this, with each day that goes by, more people gain access ║ ║ the Internet and few ever log on to their local BBSes. This trend shows ║ ║ no sign of weakening and for good reason. With an Internet account, Joe ║ ║ Public can access everything on the Internet, no exceptions. Exposure ║ ║ to illicit software is almost guaranteed for anyone who spends any ║ ║ serious time online. ║ ║ ║ ║ Even the bastions of the BBS piracy scene have begrudgingly accepted ║ ║ the Internet as a necessary evil, allowing people to log on through ║ ║ telnet and using fast FTP sites as vehicles for mass storage and ║ ║ transfer. As more and more users use telnet to access their favorite ║ ║ BBSes, modem banks will slowly come down while ISDN lines go up. But ║ ║ more importantly, fewer users will choose to live within the constraints ║ ║ of the formal BBS, even by telnet. More will choose to get their daily ║ ║ fix from anonymous FTP sites and DCC offer-bots because anyone can ║ ║ access them. ║ ║ ║ ║ That said, here are my prognostications, for what they're worth. ║ ║ Five years from today, this will be the state of the scene : ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.) BBSes will have faded from significance. The number of 10+ node ║ ║ BBSes will be less than half of what we have now. First release ║ ║ status will no longer be determined on BBSes. ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) The line between releasers and couriers will become much less ║ ║ distinct as powerful software will allow releasers to instantly ║ ║ distribute their warez to multiple sites concurrently. Couriers ║ ║ will be relegated to the role of distributing to smaller, ║ ║ temporary, anonymous sites and DCC offerbots (or something more ║ ║ sophisticated). That doesn't mean that they will be any less ║ ║ important to the scene, just further down the food chain. ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) The 'rules' as we know them today will be just a fond memory. ║ ║ The number of short-lived groups will grow exponentially, as ║ ║ will their lack of respect for rules concerning dupes. Although ║ ║ uncracked or poorly cracked warez will be far more common, there ║ ║ will always be a number of competing distributions, some of ║ ║ which are bound to work. ║ ║ ║ ║ 4.) High-speed connections, rewritable CD-ROMs and more advanced ║ ║ high-capacity storage mechanisms will keep up with ║ ║ ever-increasing game and application sizes. The escalation of ║ ║ the copy-protection wars will have continued, making crackers ║ ║ any group's most-valuable resource. ║ ║ ║ ║ The basis of my predictions is my core philosophy - the purpose of ║ ║ the scene is to make usable software available to the end user. ║ ║ Anything that inhibits or runs counter to this reality is doomed to ║ ║ fail. Any rule which does not honor this reality will be scoffed at and ║ ║ ignored. Any group that does not observe this as their core purpose ║ ║ will be relegated to insignificant. ║ ║ ║ ║ Just one man's opinion. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Frost ║ ║ Subject : Napalm Disbands ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ The following is a letter by Prophet, leader of Napalm : ║ ║ ║ ║ Hey!

I know this will ║ ║ probably fuck up my whole reputation in the warez scene, but I don't ║ ║ really care. All that shit ain't that important to me. So far, I've ║ ║ been in a few groups throughout my warez stage (Hostile, Quantus, ║ ║ Legion, Logistix, Empire, whatever) and I just wanted to tell you that ║ ║ so far, I have only met one great leader that I think deserved respect ║ ║ while he was around, and that is Rapid Motion. ║ ║ ║ ║ Then, there are some of you guys that were just plain dickheads ║ ║ (Marbz, Acidplain). For some reason, you fucking dickheads thought that ║ ║ you deserved a certain respect for yourself from other people in your ║ ║ groups. Well, in my opinion you can go fuck yourself, I've seen plenty ║ ║ of you bastards talk shit to people and expect them to sit there and ║ ║ take it, some of them do. But I never took anything from anyone at ║ ║ anytime. I was too proud of myself to let you leaders sit there and try ║ ║ and put me down. So eventually, I told you off and made you "Shut the ║ ║ fuck up!" ║ ║ ║ ║ In Acidplain's case (while he was a leader in Legion) I told him off ║ ║ and then decided to drop the group because I didn't want to stick around ║ ║ and put up with his ass. Eventually, Acidplain got kicked out of Legion ║ ║ (thanks to RCN) because he "sucked!" Here's where the strange powertrip ║ ║ shit comes in; in Marbz's case, I knew him when I was in Hostile and he ║ ║ was a cool guy. He started Empire and asked me to join. I said no ║ ║ thanks to his offer because I had a lot of shit to do at home and at ║ ║ school then. As time went by, Empire became a really good group, then ║ ║ Marbz starts changing and talking loud shit, telling people to shut the ║ ║ fuck up and such, like everyone there is supposed to bow down to him ║ ║ like he's king or something. So from that point on I saw him as a dick ║ ║ and he still is a fucking dick. ║ ║ ║ ║ Here's an example of people giving bitchmade leaders the respect ║ ║ that they think they so deserve. A while back, Marbz left for Germany ║ ║ or something and left Blackened in charge of Empire. Blackened let me ║ ║ in Empire because I deserved it (BBS Courier 300 megs plus+); Blackened ║ ║ was a cool guy. ║ ║ ║ ║ Then 2 weeks later, Marbz comes back and tells Blackened, "What? ║ ║ You think that just because I left for a while you can fucking take over ║ ║ Empire?" ║ ║ ║ ║ Blackened replies, "No, I'm sorry, I was just doing my job. I ║ ║ wouldn't in any way try to take over Empire." ║ ║ ║ ║ The kiss ass went blah blah blah it went on and on. I even told ║ ║ Blackened not to kiss his ass like that. He told me him and Marbz were ║ ║ good friends. But would a good friend really say that to you? ║ ║ ║ ║ Another example of a little bitch is Twiztah (whatta little fag). ║ ║ When I got in Empire, he was a really cool person. Then, that same day ║ ║ Marbz came back and bitched at Blackened, Marbz also told Twiztah to ║ ║ "Shut the fuck up." Twiztah didn't say anything after that and took it ║ ║ like he had no pride for himself. Then Twiztah started this group QUA ║ ║ (Quarz or Quartz something). We were still cool and he let me in the ║ ║ group as a BBS courier. Then I told him not to turn into a dicknosed ║ ║ leader and let the power get to his head like a lot of other leaders ║ ║ did. ║ ║ ║ ║ Later on, Twiztah and I started talking about Marbz and for some ║ ║ reason, he asked me not to talk talk shit about Marbz like that. I told ║ ║ him that it was just my opinion. Blackened heard this WHOLE ║ ║ conversation because he was on the #Quarz bot. So he tells me not to ║ ║ say shit behind a person's back. If Marbz was in the channel, I would ║ ║ have said the same shit regardless. So now they are backing up Marbz ║ ║ even after Marbz gets hella smart with both of them. ║ ║ ║ ║ I told them I could say what I wanted to, after all, it was my ║ ║ opinion and I am entitled to it. Twiztah kicked me out of QUA and ║ ║ banned me too because I guess what I was saying was hurting their ║ ║ feelings (little girls). So I asked Twiztah if he thought Marbz ║ ║ deserved a certain respect just because he was leader of Empire. He ║ ║ said, "Yes." ║ ║ ║ ║ So we talked a little more and he ended up being a little 2 faced ║ ║ bitch. Anyway, what I want to say is : ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.) Just because the person is a leader of the group you're in ║ ║ doesn't give him the right to talk loud shit to you. If you had ║ ║ any pride, you'd tell that nigga off! ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) If you don't want to talk back to the leader of your group, then ║ ║ that shows that warez are more important to you than your pride. ║ ║ And if that's true, you're a little sell out with no life. It ║ ║ also shows the leader that he can do that shit again and again, ║ ║ and he won't hesitate to do it either. ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) Only treat people with the respect that they treat you with. ║ ║ Remember, they aren't your parents! ║ ║ ║ ║ 4.) Stay true to your real friends and don't ever fuck them over. ║ ║ ║ ║ Thanks for paying attention and try to remember this. Even if it's ║ ║ not that clear, try to understand where I'm coming from. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Conway ║ ║ Subject : The Oracle ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ In ancient times, there was a thing called the Oracle, which was ║ ║ supposed to do wonderous things like healing the sick, blessing people ║ ║ with luck and predicting the future. Today, a computer company named ║ ║ "Oracle" decided to predict the future itself. Oracle is now developing ║ ║ a thing called a Web Box, which is a $500 TV-top add-on which connects ║ ║ to the Internet through cable or some other high-speed link. The price ║ ║ is so low, because this unit will use the TV for a monitor, and have no ║ ║ hard disk at all. ║ ║ ║ ║ Oracle sees this "appliance," as they like to call it, as the future ║ ║ of computers, and the one thing that will bring computers and ║ ║ couch-potatoes together. Many skeptics foresee various futures for this ║ ║ enterprise. A few say that the computer evolution will never allow ║ ║ itself to go back to the mainframe - a dumb terminal combination that ║ ║ was replaced once in the past. Others predict that this is the end of ║ ║ PCs as we know it, and still more hope that both types of machines will ║ ║ peacefully coexist with the Boxes in the living room for entertainment, ║ ║ and the PCs in the den for real work. I, personally, would like to ║ ║ belive the later version because the switch to Boxes could prove fatal ║ ║ to the scene. ║ ║ ║ ║ How would software companies sell their products to their "Boxed" ║ ║ customers? Obviously on the server-client basis - meaning that the ║ ║ actual program will reside on the company's web server, and the client ║ ║ would purchase the right to use it from a particular box, or with a ║ ║ particular login name/password. The development of such an arrangement ║ ║ is most profitable for the software companies because they WILL get paid ║ ║ for EVERY "copy" of their program used, and of course save lots of money ║ ║ on packaging and distribution. But to the scene this would mean a ║ ║ certain, and quick death. Since there's no way to use the program on a ║ ║ box unless you sign up with the company, there will be no possible way ║ ║ to use anything without paying for it! ║ ║ ║ ║ What is that I hear you screaming? Carding? You forget that every ║ ║ box has a serial number, and as cable now, they would know the exact ║ ║ location of any cable jack you're currently using which will make ║ ║ carding an extremely unsafe game to play.

More specifically, ║ ║ the lack of names. In the trading scene, we label people either "elite" ║ ║ or "lame." Both of these titles are over used and ambiguous. Every ║ ║ trader has at one time or another used these words to label someone. ║ ║ The fast traders use them, and ironically, the slow traders (who the ║ ║ fast traders call lame) also use both of these words. But what do these ║ ║ words mean, if they mean anything anymore, and should they be used at ║ ║ all? ║ ║ ║ ║ What does the word "elite" mean anyway. It can't describe someone ║ ║ who gets fast files. When I was starting out, I called people that ║ ║ could get 1 month stuff "elite." Now people that I know call people ║ ║ that get 0 day files "elite." However, on IRC, anyone can join a ║ ║ "warez" channel and pick up fast files. Does that makes you "elite?" ║ ║ The word "elite" might describe a person who has in depth knowledge of ║ ║ the trading scene. But you can become knowledgeable about the scene ║ ║ with out ever trading a file (just read RCN). ║ ║ ║ ║ "Elite" is a word that conveys respect. It, however, is used too ║ ║ often. Everyone is respected in the scene by someone else, all for ║ ║ different reasons. One word is not adequate to describe the meanings of ║ ║ which people associate with the word "elite." It is an outdated word. ║ ║ A word that should have been left behind with the 2400 and 14400 modems. ║ ║ A simple word for simple times. ║ ║ ║ ║ The same holds true for the word "lame." What makes someone "lame?" ║ ║ Are you "lame" if you can get fast files, or only if you can't get fast ║ ║ files but try to trade with people higher up in the scene than you. Is ║ ║ speed the only factor in determining if a person is "lame" or not? If ║ ║ this is so, then people that label people who get slower files "lame" ║ ║ are assholes. We all (most of us), worked our way up the scene ladder, ║ ║ so we all were "lame" at one point in time. We should then help out the ║ ║ people in the position that we were once in. BUT "lame" is NOT just ║ ║ used to describe a person lower in the scene hierarchy. It has been ║ ║ used to describe arrogant group leaders, whole groups even, people who ║ ║ look down on others, and so on. So when in hell's name should someone ║ ║ be labeled "lame?" In my opinion NEVER. The word "lame" is again too ║ ║ broad, it means too much, and is used too often. It is a word that has ║ ║ no place in the scene of today. ║ ║ ║ ║ New labels must be created, labels that are more specific and ║ ║ meaningful. We need labels that will make a person proud when called it ║ ║ by others or words that put an asshole in his place. "Lame" and "elite" ║ ║ don't mean anything anymore. It is time for a new set of lingo to grow ║ ║ and take its place. ║ ║ ║ ║ In the real world, word change evolve with the culture that uses ║ ║ them over long periods of time. "Cyberspace" changes much faster than ║ ║ any culture, but its lingo does not. Only an effort on the part of us ║ ║ (trader/and others), will correct the annoying problem of outdated ║ ║ lingo. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Digitex ║ ║ Subject : Software Piracy ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hi guys! I'm back, so I decided to start off with an article on ║ ║ software piracy and the pirate scene, and how the two of those combined ║ ║ effect everything else that goes on around us on the Internet. ║ ║ ║ ║ Since the FBI has outlawed the previewing of software, it has become ║ ║ more and more difficult to find ways to get a warez BBS to stay up ║ ║ without arousing suspiscion (especially from the feds). This article ║ ║ will discuss how to (almost) fed-proof your site, BBS, whatever as well. ║ ║ ║ ║ We all know that the entrapment law forces any law enforcement or ║ ║ federal agency members to declare that they are indeed members of ║ ║ whatever agency they are affiliated with. This means that if a site or ║ ║ BBS that a federal agent or law enforcer of any sort is applying for ║ ║ asks him/her if they are one of those, they MUST say yes or do whatever ║ ║ it requires them to do. This is of course within reason, the BBS/Site ║ ║ can't really make the person jump up and down, light his/her hair on ║ ║ fire and run through the street yelling, "I'm a gerbil! Don't eat my ║ ║ pickles!!!" Such maybe reasonable would be to ask a Fed to hang up, or ║ ║ whatever. ║ ║ ║ ║ There are other things in the disclaimer you should put, such as ║ ║ that you take no responsibility for what the users do with the files ║ ║ they download from your BBS/site, and many other things. Use your ║ ║ creative imaginations! ║ ║ ║ ║ Another especially good way to protect your site or BBS from ║ ║ unwanted guests is to force them to upload something before allowing ║ ║ them access. If the new user knows what kind of BBS/site this is, he ║ ║ will obviously send something pirated. If the federal agent or law ║ ║ enforcer sends something pirated, he cannot bust you, since he is in ║ ║ violation of his own laws, and then he's pretty much fucked anyway. If ║ ║ the person uploads something that is maybe public domain or shareware, ║ ║ just kick them off. They probably wouldn't be any use to you anyway. ║ ║ Even in the event that somebody uploads something pirated to your ║ ║ BBS/site and you don't normally allow pirated software to be uploaded to ║ ║ your BBS/site, the law grants you 24 hours to check and delete it, since ║ ║ a sysop cannot be up at all hours of the day making sure that pirated ║ ║ software isn't being uploaded. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now, onto the part about piracy's effects to the world. Piracy ║ ║ effects the world, or more aptly termed Internet, but some people ║ ║ consider it another world so I guess either is fine, in many ways, both ║ ║ good and bad. It effects the REAL world in that it hurts software ║ ║ companies' profits and that it can get you busted if you're in the wrong ║ ║ part of the world such as the US, Canada, etc. Its good effects are ║ ║ that since most software companies are either too lazy to release ║ ║ shareware/demos of their products or their shareware/demos are so ║ ║ crippled you cannot effectively evaluate the software, pirating provides ║ ║ a way for users to evaluate the software before they purchase it. Of ║ ║ course, as I said before, this was outlawed. Apparently, software ║ ║ companies are too greedy to care if their users will be able to use ║ ║ their software and that the software will suit their needs. ║ ║ ║ ║ It's getting to the point that there are so many different programs ║ ║ out there, and so few reviews on those programs that only the huge ║ ║ megacorporations can effectively release shareware or demos. This is ║ ║ also the same for reviews. Only the large companies can get reviews ║ ║ from reputable magazines or whatnot. So a smaller company that produces ║ ║ a product that is actually better than Microsoft's newest office ║ ║ management program may never get any sort of review or shareware copy ║ ║ released, and they will lose money from that. ║ ║ ║ ║ In general, software costs too much for people to be going out and ║ ║ buying it left and right in case the program they bought first does not ║ ║ suit their needs. Since most major stores don't allow trades of ║ ║ software, even of the same type, the person who bought the software is ║ ║ out of luck. He's lost about $50 to $70 to some worthless software ║ ║ because he could not properly evaluate the software by looking at the ║ ║ colorful box prior to purchasing it. ║ ║ ║ ║ If the FBI is going to outlaw software piracy in the United States, ║ ║ why don't all countries do it? That is a problem I cannot understand. ║ ║ The companies don't want people pirating their software, yet the people ║ ║ over in say, Amsterdam, can freely distribute it, since there's no FBI ║ ║ there, to my knowledge. ║ ║ ║ ║ In closing, I'd just like to say that software DOES cost too much to ║ ║ be thrown around like it's such an unimportant, miniscule thing, and ║ ║ that the companies who are writing the software should find a better way ║ ║ to allow potential users to preview their software before wasting their ║ ║ money on something they possibly can't use. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▐ ░▄▄▄ █▀▀▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▐███▌ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▄░▀▀▀█▄ ▐█▌ ▀██▄▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▀▀▀ ▄█▀ ▄▄█ ▀ r c n ▄▄■▄▄ ▀▀ ▄▄█▀▀ ██▌▄■▀ ░████ ■▄▄█ ▀ ███ ▐█▌ ██▌ ▐▄▄ ▄██▀ ▀░█▄ ▄▄█ ▄██▀ ░▐███ ░░ ░ ▀██▌░ ██▌▄▄░▀▐████ ▀██▄ ░▐██ ▄████▀▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▐██ ███▌░░░░░░ ░░░ ████ █▄▀ ▄▄▐██ █████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ▀██▄ ▄██▀▐███ ▄▄▄ ▐████▌ ▐██▄ ██▌ ▐█████▌ ▄▄ ░▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀███▄▄▄░▀▀▀▀ ▀░███▌ ▀░ ▐██ ▀▀▀░██▌ ▐██ ▀▀▀ ▀ ▐██▌ ▀ ▐██▌ a r t i c l e s ! ░█▀ ░█▀ ▀ ▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Pele ║ ║ Subject : USR Fucksters 33.6 v.34 ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ I recently purchased a USR Sporster 33.6 v.34 expecting to get it ║ ║ home and plug it in and start surfing. I was severely mistaken. I ║ ║ brought my modem home and opened the package. I then set the com ports ║ ║ as instructed, etc. Things seemed fine at first, then I started to ║ ║ notice that during my connections it would pause, or stop responding ║ ║ completely. I assumed that this was caused by some fault of mine, ║ ║ possible init strings problems or something to that extent. I fiddled ║ ║ with the init strings and com port settings for several hours and then ║ ║ decided that it would be better to try it the next day after I had some ║ ║ rest. ║ ║ ║ ║ While I was at work the next day, I decided I would call the USR ║ ║ Tech Support to see if they had any ideas. After listening to 7 minutes ║ ║ of recorded messages, I decided it wasn't worth running up the phone ║ ║ companies' bills. I came home that evening and checked out the ║ ║ conference comp.dcom.modems and to my surprise, found more than 100 ║ ║ messages detailing the same exact problem that I had. ║ ║ ║ ║ I called the USR Tech Support and after 10 minutes on hold, I ║ ║ finally got "Jose" who seemed to have no technical knowlege other than ║ ║ the cue card that he was obviously holding in front of him. He went ║ ║ through the obvious. He asked me what kind of computer I was running. ║ ║ I told him that I have a DX2/66 with 8 megabytes of RAM. He told me to ║ ║ make sure that I had com 1 disabled in my BIOS. I so kindly informed ║ ║ him that there was no COM settings in a 486 board. Then he asked me to ║ ║ go into MSD and check the com ports. When he found out that my com1 was ║ ║ displaying a 2400 baud rate he said that my problem would be cured if I ║ ║ moved my modem to com3 and irq 5. He also said again to disable my com ║ ║ port in my BIOS and when I again told him that my BIOS had no com ║ ║ settings, he insulted me by asking who built my computer. I replied ║ ║ that I built the computer and he shut the fuck up. ║ ║ ║ ║ So I hung up and switched my modem to com 3 irq 5 having to switch ║ ║ my Sound Blaster card to irq 7 and temporarily disabling my LPT port. ║ ║ This however did not resolve the problem. Very upset, I called USR Tech ║ ║ Support yet again. This time after waiting for only 15 minutes on a ║ ║ long distance connection, I was connected with "Magadababba mohababba ║ ║ abdul makharrah bushi" and he asked me the obvious. When I told him ║ ║ that I had read over 100 messages detailing the same exact problem as I ║ ║ he asked my FirmWare (EPROM) date and I told him. He then said I would ║ ║ have to send my modem in to have the EPROM upgraded. I have read ║ ║ several messages from people on USENET who say that this has resolved ║ ║ their problems. So, if you have a USR Sportster 33.6 v.34 with an EPROM ║ ║ date between 10/95 and 3/96 (you can find this out by typing ati7 at ║ ║ your terminal window) and you are having the "pausing" problem then I ║ ║ would recommend that you contact USR Tech Support at (847) 982-5151 and ║ ║ tell them that you need to have your EPROM upgraded. This will be a ║ ║ free upgrade. Please, if they hassle you, don't put up with it, ask to ║ ║ speak with their supervisor. This is obviously a known problem and they ║ ║ have made no effort to correct this. ║ ║ ║ ║ I hope that this has been a help, and if you are upset that I ║ ║ included the entire conversation and summary of events that took place, ║ ║ then please excuse me. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ░▄▄▄ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄█▄▄▄▐███▌ ■▀▀░██▄ ▄▀▄▀▀█▄ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ 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. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Games Reviewed : 07/18/96 -> 07/31/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : HBD-SR01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-18-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Speed Rage (C) Telstar [01/20] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _____ _____ ____ _____ ________________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \_ | \ \/ / _ /__\_ \_/ _ \ Running Total : 4 ║ ║ | _ \_ \ _/ \ \ __/___/ | / / ║ ║ |___| |____|___/ /_\ \___|_______/ ║ ║ ::d|___|::::::.\___/.:.\___\::::::::: ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : HBD-TSM2.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-19-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Tracksuit Manager 2 (C) Alternative [1/1] Previous Total : 4 ║ ║ _____ _____ ____ _____ ________________ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ \_ | \ \/ / _ /__\_ \_/ _ \ Running Total : 6 ║ ║ | _ \_ \ _/ \ \ __/___/ | / / ║ ║ |___| |____|___/ /_\ \___|_______/ ║ ║ ::d|___|::::::.\___/.:.\___\::::::::: ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : HBD-BAK1.ZIP Fix name : BAKU-DLL.ZIP ║ ║ Filedate : 7-26-96 Filedate : 7-28-96 ║ ║ ║ ║ Baku Baku Animal (C) Sega Pc [01/03] Previous Total : 6 ║ ║ _____ _____ ____ _____ ________________ Release Score : 5 ║ ║ \_ | \ \/ / _ /__\_ \_/ _ \ Running Total : 11 ║ ║ | _ \_ \ _/ \ \ __/___/ | / / ║ ║ |___| |____|___/ /_\ \___|_______/ ║ ║ ::d|___|::::::.\___/.:.\___\::::::::: ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : HBD-CS01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-31-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Mission Force: CyberStorm (c) SSI [1/24] Previous Total : 11 ║ ║ _____ _____ ____ _____ ________________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \_ | \ \/ / _ /__\_ \_/ _ \ Running Total : 15 ║ ║ | _ \_ \ _/ \ \ __/___/ | / / ║ ║ |___| |____|___/ /_\ \___|_______/ ║ ║ ::d|___|::::::.\___/.:.\___\:::::::::: ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : PSGHTSP1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-19-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ ________________________/»|__/| ___________ Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ Release Score : 2 ║ ║ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / Running Total : 2 ║ ║ |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ ║ ║ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ ║ ║ BICYCLE HEARTS AND SPADES (c) Swfte [01/07] ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : LLSPSG01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-20-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ ________________________/»|__/| ___________ Previous Total : 2 ║ ║ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ Release Score : -3 ║ ║ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / Running Total : -1 ║ ║ |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ ║ ║ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ ║ ║ LINKS: LS 1997 (c) Access Software [01/45] ║ ║ -/- FIX ME -/- FIX ME -/- FIX ME -/- ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : PSG-GB01.ZIP Fix name : PSG-GBXX.ZIP ║ ║ Filedate : 7-20-96 Filedate : 7-21-96 ║ ║ ║ ║ MW2: GHOST BEAR'S LEGACY for Win 95 [01/38] Previous Total : -1 ║ ║ ________________________/»|__/| ___________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ Running Total : 3 ║ ║ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / ║ ║ |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ ║ ║ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : PANTPSG1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-22-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ ________________________/»|__/| ___________ Previous Total : 3 ║ ║ \___ \ __ / __/ __/ / |/ ____/ __/_ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ | __/ _/ _/ _| \__ \ \/ / ) / _| / Running Total : 6 ║ ║ |___|\__\ \________ /___\__\__ \______\ ║ ║ +--------\___/≈e≈/aL!\/--------/_____\-----+ ║ ║ STEEL PANTHERS CAMPAIGN DISK (c) SSI [01/03] ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : PSGSFT01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-24-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ Sci-Fi Channel Trivia Game -

It's a first person 3D ║ ║ perspective (Doom like) in black and white, except your a dick and you ║ ║ shoot cum. You hit the fire button the hand starts wacking off and then ║ ║ it shoots cum. The game gets boring quick, and the graphics are pretty ║ ║ dull. You shoot at other dicks, old fart 3 inchers, and tits and ║ ║ ovaries. Your life stamina is shown by the length of your dick and ║ ║ armor in this game is a condom. I didn't notice any differences from ║ ║ this version and older versions, but supposively they are there.

If you want to see ║ ║ what it's like so when the full version comes out you can see if it'll ║ ║ be worth the download, I reccomend getting it. If you liked Mechwarrior ║ ║ you should also get this. You will need at least a Pentium 90 to play ║ ║ this one.

It's definitely a beta, still swaps and pauses right in ║ ║ the middle of gameplay, along with a couple audio glitches thrown in for ║ ║ good measure, and it installed its own directX2 drivers without asking ║ ║ (quite unlike MS). I'll like it a lot better once the final comes out. ║ ║ I do have to say that the synth muzak flippin rocks though and the ║ ║ grafix are a lot better than average. This will probably be one of ║ ║ those "unbelievable directX games" I talked about a couple weeks ago. ║ ║ As far as the juice of the game, you can pick one out of about 10 of the ║ ║ most popular monster trucks to race with. ║ ║ ║ ║ There are 4 different types of races too. Drag (side by side car ║ ║ crush), Rally (offroad enduro type), Circuit, and Tournament. You can ║ ║ set up suspension, gearbox, and tires on your truck for the different ║ ║ types of tracks/races. Don't have more than 4 other trucks racing ║ ║ against you when you first start out though, the traffic kinda sucks. ║ ║ ║ ║ There are many different resolutions, textures, and toggles to ║ ║ optimize video/processor speed, as well as audio, and joy/keybd setup. ║ ║ As a little side note, from what I gather about the help files included, ║ ║ MS is planning on devoting a whole webpage to this game, with possible ║ ║ tournament type netgames once the game goes final. This one will ║ ║ definitely be worth checking out! ║ ║ ║ ║ POINTS : 74 - I took some points off because it's a beta and has a ║ ║ couple problems. ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ ÜÜÜUßUÜ ÜUUÜ ║ ║ ßUUUß ÜU ÜUUß ß ║ ║ UUÜÜÜUß ÜUU ║ ║ UUÜ hRoZeN UUÜ ReW Ü ║ ║ UUÜ '96 ßUUÜÜÜUß ║ ║ Ußß ßßß ║ ║ UÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[pRESENTS]ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ║ ║ 3 HardWood Solitaire 1.4 3 ║ ║ 3 Registration Patch by Giraffe/PC 3 ║ ║ A[wIN95/gAME]ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ[jUL 96]U ║ ║ ║ ║ This is what the pc.nfo reads : ║ ║ ║ ║ Crack for Hardwood Solitaire 1.4 (I don't know if it works on other ║ ║ version) ║ ║ ║ ║ -copy hwsolk.com in windows directory ║ ║ -execute it ║ ║ Have fun! ║ ║ Giraffe ║ ║ ║ ║ This is what the pAth0s.nfo reads : ║ ║ ║ ║ This hwsolk.com file is a generic virus produced by the PS-MPC virus ║ ║ creation kit that anything will detect.

Yes, Holy Cow, holy pigs, and HOLY SHIT. ║ ║ Man, this game is sweet as sugar. It's by far the best baseball game ║ ║ out, and for those who like arcade type baseball games, rather than the ║ ║ sim, this one is the best ever. This game has it all as do many ║ ║ baseball games. The game play is quick, to the point, and has great ║ ║ sound effects and announcer (yes it really has an announcer in the 45 ║ ║ disks, no addons). The announcer also doesn't just say lame ass like ║ ║ "Now batting 1st baseman." No sir, he says the name of the player, ║ ║ sometimes comments if he has scored a run and stuff like that. ║ ║ ║ ║ Anyone with at least a 486 can run this game, because it has a nice ║ ║ low resolution mode, that at first may seem crappy, but you'll soon see ║ ║ it ain't that bad. Those of you with Pentium 75+ will be able to ║ ║ experience the beautiful high resolution graphics that make this game ║ ║ even more exciting to play. It even has modem play and serial play. ║ ║ Home run derby of course, season of course, and all of the types of play ║ ║ you could think of. Real players, real teams, and real stats. This is ║ ║ as close as we've gotten to a really good baseball game that was ║ ║ actually a GAME and not so statistical. It's not impossible to hit the ║ ║ ball, and the game follows no "boring nintendo like" patterns where you ║ ║ can always steal or stuff like that (I've actually even been able to ║ ║ pick off the computer from first base, when it had a big lead). ║ ║ ║ ║ This game is without a doubt, a must for anyone looking for sports ║ ║ or baseball games, and a definite worth checking out for others, unless ║ ║ you despise sports. Easy to install, no subst, it's what we here in ║ ║ `Reviewland' wish everything was like. So go grab your mit, your bat, ║ ║ and oh, bring your balls <G>. ║ ║ ║ ║ RATING : 91/100 ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ The Civil War (c) Empire Interactive [1/7] ║ ║ _ ________________________ _____ ________ _ ║ ║ \\_____ \_____ \_____ \/ . \\_____ \\ ║ ║ dZG/\ __// _ |/ ____/. | \/\ __/ ║ ║ _/ \ \/ /_ _/ /_ | ! _/ \ \ ║ ║ \____\ \______\_________|_____\____\ \_ ║ ║ =======\___/===∙1911∙CD∙DIVISION∙======\___/ ║ ║ ║ ║ This is one of the lesser quality war games.

This game closely compares to C&C, but it just lacks the ║ ║ faster paced action that C&C has. The game, although could easily made ║ ║ better by some faster movement of the characters (and it has nothing to ║ ║ do with the CPU, they are just designed to move only a certain amount of ║ ║ space per time) and maybe a little more close up action. ║ ║ ║ ║ The game has two people, you and the computer, and your job is to ║ ║ take over sections of the land and build up an army, get weapons and ║ ║ vehicles etc. Once you've done so (or you could just go straight for ║ ║ it) you try to knock down the enemies fort. Also, the movement of the ║ ║ map is pretty damn slow too, and the controlling of it is a pain in the ║ ║ ass when you have people all over the map and you are trying to move ║ ║ them a little further down past where the screen shows (you can use the ║ ║ zoomed out map, but it's still a pain in the ass). ║ ║ ║ ║ Plus, every time you click on one of your guys it centers the ║ ║ screen, pain. The robots (they are the ones who fight) talk to you on ║ ║ videophone and say stuff like "What the hell is wrong with you, I said ║ ║ we are under attack." Sometimes they will give you an attitude, if for ║ ║ example, you tried to send one soldier after a huge tank, it will say ║ ║ "Are you crazy?" or "No way!" but it will still of course do it. The ║ ║ game could be a lot better if they just made it more fast paced. But if ║ ║ you don't mind waiting 1-2 mins for your guy to go from your side to the ║ ║ other, then by all means, try this one out. It certainly isn't on the ║ ║ C&C level, but it tries to be. ║ ║ ║ ║ RATING : 60/100 ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ TIME COMMANDO (C) ADELINE/EA/ACTIVISION [01/45] ║ ║ ███▄▄▄▄ █▄▄▄▄▄███▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▀ ▀████▀ ·■▄ ║ ║ ▐██ ███▐██▀██▐███ ██████ ▐██▄ ████▌ ░ █ ░ ║ ║ ██ ██████▄██ ███ ██▌███ ▄████ ███▌▀▄ ▐▌ ║ ║ ▐██ ▀███ ▄▄ ███▄ ███ █████▓█ ███▄ ▀▀▄▄█▀ ░░░ ║ ║ ███▌ ▐██ ██ ███ ░░ ███ ███▐████▀▀ ▄▄▄▓▀▀▓▄▄ ║ ║ ████▄ ▀▀██▀▀▀ ▄▄▄ ▀███▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▄ ║ ║ ████▀▀ ██ r e f l u x ! ░░ ▀▀ ║ ║ ▀ ────── ─────────-- - -─ -───-─ ║ ║ ║ ║ Wow, I was impressed by the looks of this game. Although it's more ║ ║ fighting than it was using your brain, it's still a good game. How can ║ ║ you describe this one, well, picture it this way, you know how in Alone ║ ║ in the Dark you could fight, well that's what this game is like, except ║ ║ it's on a better game engine, better fighting, and better graphics. ║ ║ This game amazed me because it runs smoothly on anything (486+) in the ║ ║ top notch gfx mode. It's really fun to play, but there are only a few ║ ║ levels because of the large size. Also don't use the Reflux installer, ║ ║ I think it's set for *.r* and so it goes in a loop, do it manually. ║ ║ ║ ║ This game is one worth checking out if you like those 3D looking ║ ║ games and wish they had more action to it. Although the game gets ║ ║ boring, it's still a nice step in technology and looks cool to show off ║ ║ to people. There was also an animation pack, which will get it's review ║ ║ in next issue. Great game, but lacks the umph (more levels) that the CD ║ ║ would have. Also, once I got to the level "European Middle Age - Level ║ ║ 1" I would keep on beating it and it would just take me back to that, ║ ║ seems like the ending is not there or there is none.

Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║

╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene. ║ ║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║ ║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║ ║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Utils Reviewed : 06/20/96 -> 07/03/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ 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!

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

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Rebel Chicken ║ ║ Subject : Group Reviews : Utils ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review! ║ ║ Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene. ║ ║ Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be! ║ ║ It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you ║ ║ will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Let's ║ ║ review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases. The following ║ ║ is the scoring basis I'll be using : ║ ║ ║ ║ Points : ║ ║ -------- ║ ║ ║ ║ [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72 ║ ║ hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack ║ ║ or fix, even beyond the 3 day period. ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 2] Unsatisfactory, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 3] Average, ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 4] Above Average, and ║ ║ ║ ║ [ 5] Excellent! ║ ║ ║ ║ A group may lose points the following week and have their releases ║ ║ labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points). If the ║ ║ group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit ║ ║ accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the ║ ║ util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the ║ ║ 3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group ║ ║ releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3 ║ ║ points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points. ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ Dates of Utils Reviewed : 07/18/96 -> 07/31/96 │ ║ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODEZR01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-18-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ EASY READER 1.50 FOR WINDOWS [1/2] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 4 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 18-JUL-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODIS301.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-18-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ InstallShield 3 For Windows Apps [01/12] Previous Total : 4 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 5 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 9 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 18-JUL-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODHFX01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-21-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ HOLLYWOOD FX WIN95/NT/ALPHA [01/05] Previous Total : 9 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 12 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 21-JUL-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODFR101.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-23-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ FRENCH YEAR 1 FOR WINDOWS [01/21] Previous Total : 12 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 5 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 17 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 23-JUL-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : DODIJS01.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-31-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ INTRANET JAZZ SUITE FOR WINDOWS [1/5] Previous Total : 17 ║ ║ _______________ ____________ ____________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ Running Total : 21 ║ ║ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / ║ ║ \______ / / / /____ / /| ║ ║ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== ║ ║ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 5 ≡(*)≡ ║ ║ ===================== [ DOD * 31-Jul-96 ] == ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Filename : CU42MTY1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-26-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ COMMUNIQUE! v4.2 F/95 (c) INSOFT [01/02] Previous Total : 0 ║ ║ _______________________________________ Release Score : 4 ║ ║ \ \ \ \_ _/ \ \ \_ _/ / / Running Total : 4 ║ ║ / / / / / / `_/ / ` / /_ / /_\ / ║ ║ =\_/_/_/\__/_/_/__/__/__/___//__/____/== ║ ║ \===- M O R T A L I T Y -====/ ║ ║ =[ * ]=================[07-26-96]=[ * ]= ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTY-LVP1.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-26-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ WebReady LView Pro 1.0 (c) Little-men [1/4] Previous Total : 4 ║ ║ _______________________________________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \ \ \ \_ _/ \ \ \_ _/ / / Running Total : 7 ║ ║ / / / / / / `_/ / ` / /_ / /_\ / ║ ║ =\_/_/_/\__/_/_/__/__/__/___//__/____/== ║ ║ ====- M O R T A L I T Y -====/ ║ ║ =[ * ]================= [07-26-96]=[ * ] ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYMC501.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-26-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ MasterCam ver 5.0 [01/07] Previous Total : 7 ║ ║ _______________________________________ Release Score : 3 ║ ║ \ \ \ \_ _/ \ \ \_ _/ / / Running Total : 10 ║ ║ / / / / / / `_/ / ` / /_ / /_\ / ║ ║ =\_/_/_/\__/_/_/__/__/__/___//__/____/== ║ ║ ====- M O R T A L I T Y -====/ ║ ║ =[ * ]================= [07-26-96]=[ * ] ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Filename : MTYMCTV.ZIP Fix name : -- ║ ║ Filedate : 7-26-96 Filedate : -- ║ ║ ║ ║ MasterCam T.V.

The most important things needed are the card number and the ║ ║ expiration date. Having the card-holder's name doesn't hurt, but it is ║ ║ not essential. ║ ║ ║ ║ One way to obtain all the information needed is by trashing. The ║ ║ way this is done is simple. You walk around your area or any other area ║ ║ and find a store, mall, supermarket, etc., that throws their garbage ║ ║ outside on the sidewalk or dumpster. Rip the bag open and see if you ║ ║ can find any carbons at all. If you find little shreds of credit card ║ ║ carbons, then it is most likely not worth your time to tape together. ║ ║ Find a store that does not rip their carbons at all or only in half. ║ ║ General rule when trashing is to dress like a bum. If you are a bum, ║ ║ dress normally. ║ ║ ║ ║ Another way is to bullshit the number out of someone. That is call ║ ║ them up and say "Hello, this is Visa security and we have a report that ║ ║ your card was stolen." They will deny it and you will try to get it out ║ ║ of them from that point on. You could say, "It wasn't stolen? Well ║ ║ what is the expiration date and maybe we can fix the problem. Ok... and ║ ║ what is the number on your card, sir? Thank you very much and have a ║ ║ nice day." Or think of something to that degree. ║ ║ ║ ║ Another way to get card numbers is through systems such as TRW and ║ ║ CBI, this is the hard way, and probably not worth the trouble unless you ║ ║ are an expert on the system. Using credit card numbers posted on BBSes ║ ║ is risky. The only advantage is that there is a good chance that other ║ ║ people will use it, thus decreasing the chances of being the ║ ║ sole-offender. The last method of getting numbers is very good also. ║ ║ In most video rental stores, they take down your credit card number when ║ ║ you join to back-up your rentals. So if you could manage to steal the ║ ║ list or make a copy of it, then you are set for a LONG time. ║ ║ ║ ║ More modern methods include taking advantage of online services and ║ ║ Internet shopping malls. I will not go into details about this, you'll ║ ║ have to figure this out yourself. To give you an idea how easy this ║ ║ could be, take for example America Online. They have 6 million ║ ║ subscribers. A rather large percentage of that number consist of ║ ║ idiots, morons or dumbasses and I personally have "fished" at least 100k ║ ║ on some nights and acquired at least 5,000 full info CCs. Don't ask ║ ║ how, that's my style. ║ ║ ║ ║ Basically, all you have to do is pull some very skillful hi-tech ║ ║ bullshitting. You pretend to be staff/sysop and tell the victim that ║ ║ there are problems or whatever you can think of. Outside the scope of ║ ║ carding, you can also use this method to obtain passwords to accounts. ║ ║ Needless to say, card a fake account first. By the way, do not look for ║ ║ me in the private chatroom CARDING. I don't go there. All I saw were ║ ║ whimps who couldn't do the carding themselves, and a few smart people ║ ║ who took advantage of this. I think I saw this published in the last ║ ║ issue of RCN, and unfortunately, I have met some who fell prey to this ║ ║ trick. What can I say? You deserve it. Blah... ║ ║ ║ ║ Sometimes, some establishments will accept any card number as long ║ ║ as it is valid. The algorithms for computing credit card numbers are ║ ║ public information. Hey, I've coded my own program to do this in my ║ ║ spare time, it's not difficult. You can read it from the alt.2600 FAQ ║ ║ and probably find it implemented on several programs, most notable is ║ ║ Credit Master. Generally, generated numbers don't work, but sometimes ║ ║ you can find certain bank index numbers which do. ║ ║ ║ ║ For example, using a generated number of the prefix 4921-85 can get ║ ║ you access to most online services. Yeah, you porn lovers can subscribe ║ ║ or call stuff. You can even use some of these to card phone calls (i.e. ║ ║ 1-800-CALL-ATT). Use a payphone. I love their advertisement, "Know the ║ ║ code," Muhahhahaha. Go recharge some prepaid phone cards. Get them ║ ║ everywhere. ║ ║ ║ ║ Choosing a Victim ║ ║ ----------------- ║ ║ ║ ║ Once you have the card number, it is time to make the order. The ║ ║ type of places that are easiest to victimize are small businesses that ║ ║ do mail order or even local stores that deliver. If you have an ad for ║ ║ a place with something you want and the order number is NOT a 1-800 ║ ║ number, then chances are better that you will succeed. ║ ║ ║ ║ When you call the place up to make the order, you must have several ║ ║ things readily at hand. These are the things you will need, a name, ║ ║ telephone number, business phone, card number (4 digit bank code if the ║ ║ card is MasterCard), expiration date, and a complete shipping and ║ ║ billing address. I will talk about all of these in detail. A personal ║ ║ tip, when I call to make an order, it usually goes much smoother if the ║ ║ person I am talking to is a woman. In many cases they are more gullible ║ ║ than men. ║ ║ ║ ║ A name, you could use the name on the card or the name of the person ║ ║ who you are going to send the merchandise to. Or you could use the name ║ ║ on the card and have it shipped to the person who lives at the drop (say ║ ║ it is a gift or something). The name is really not that important ║ ║ because when the company verifies the card, the person's name is never ║ ║ mentioned, EXCEPT when you have a Preffered Visa card. Then the name is ║ ║ mentioned. You can tell if you have a Preffered Visa card by the PV to ║ ║ the right of the expiration date on the carbon. Now, phone all day long ║ ║ waiting for the company to call (which they will), then the phone number ║ ║ to give them as your home-phone could be one of the following, a number ║ ║ that is ALWAYS busy, a number that ALWAYS rings, a payphone number, low ║ ║ end of a loop (and you will wait on the other end), or a popular BBS. ║ ║ NEVER give them your home phone because they will find out as soon as ║ ║ their investigations start and they check who the phone belongs to. The ║ ║ best thing would be to have a payphone call forward your house. If you ║ ║ can beige-box a neighbor's and connect to it remotely, that would be ║ ║ even better. ║ ║ ║ ║ The card number, the cards you will use will be Visa, MasterCard, ║ ║ American Express, and Discover. The best is by far Visa. It is the ║ ║ most straight-forward. MasterCard is pretty cool except for the bank ║ ║ code. When they ask for the bank code, they sometimes also ask for the ║ ║ bank that issued it. When they ask that, just say the biggest bank you ║ ║ know of in your area. Try to avoid American Express. They tend to lead ║ ║ full scale investigations. Unfortunately, American Express is the most ║ ║ popular card out. When telling the person who is taking your call the ║ ║ card number, say it slowly, clearly, and with confidence. For example, ║ ║ if the card number is 5396-1234-5678-9012, pause after each set of fours ║ ║ so you don't have to repeat yourself. ║ ║ ║ ║ The date of the expiration date must be at LEAST in that month. It ║ ║ is best with more than three months to go. ║ ║ ║ ║ The address is more commonly referred to as the 'drop.' Well, the ║ ║ drop can range from an abandoned building to your next door neighbor's ║ ║ apartment. If you plan to send it to an apartment building, then be ║ ║ sure NOT to include an apartment number. This will confuse UPS or the ║ ║ postage men a little and they will leave the package in the lobby. Here ║ ║ is a list of various drops - the house next door whose family is on ║ ║ vacation, the apartment that was just moved out of, the old church that ║ ║ will be knocked down in six months, your friend's house who has ║ ║ absolutely nothing to do with the type of merchandise you will buy and ║ ║ who will also not crack under heat from Feds, etc. ║ ║ ║ ║ There are also services that hold merchandise for you, but ║ ║ personally, I would not trust them. And forget about P.O. Boxes because ║ ║ you need ID to get one and most places don't ship to them anyway. If ║ ║ you work for a company or have a large group that has an account on ║ ║ something like Mailboxes Etc, that might work. ║ ║ ║ ║ Other aspects of carding include verifying cards, seeing if they ║ ║ were reported stolen. Stores need to verify credit cards when someone ║ ║ purchases something with one. They call up a service that checks to see ║ ║ if the customer has the money in the bank. The merchant identifies ║ ║ himself with a merchant number. The service then holds the money that ║ ║ the merchant verified on reserve. When the merchant sends in the credit ║ ║ card form, the service sends the merchant the money. The service holds ║ ║ the money for three days and if no form appears then it is put back into ║ ║ the bank. The point is that if you want to verify something then you ║ ║ should verify it for a little amount and odds are that there will be ║ ║ more in the bank. ║ ║ ║ ║ The good thing about verification is that if the card doesn't exist ║ ║ or if it is stolen, then the service will tell you. To verify ║ ║ MasterCard and Visa, try the following number. It is voice : ║ ║ 1-800-327-1111, the merchant code is 596719. Whoa, this information is ║ ║ old, you may need to get a more recent one. ║ ║ ║ ║ Stolen cards, MasterCard and Visa come out with a small catalog ║ ║ every week where they publish EVERY stolen or fraudulantly used card. I ║ ║ get this every week by trashing the same place on the same day. If you ║ ║ ever find it trashing, then try to get it every week. If you got ║ ║ connections in a store, they usually have this. ║ ║ ║ ║ Identifying cards, Visa card numbers begin with a 4 and have either ║ ║ 13 or 16 digits. MasterCard card numbers begin with a 5 and have 16 ║ ║ digits. Discover card numbers begin with a 6 and have 16 digits. ║ ║ American Express begins with a 3 and has 15 digits. They all have the ║ ║ following formats : ║ ║ ║ ║ 3xxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx American Express / Diner's Club ║ ║ ║ ║ 4xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx Visa ║ ║ ║ ║ 4xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Visa ║ ║ ║ ║ 5xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx MasterCard ║ ║ ║ ║ 6xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Discover ║ ║ ║ ║ A gold card simply means that credit is good for $5000. Without a ║ ║ gold card, credit would normally be $2000 or less. To recognize a gold ║ ║ card on a carbon, there are several techniques : ║ ║ ║ ║ American Express- None. ║ ║ ║ ║ Visa - PV instead of CV. Note, you must have the ║ ║ cardholder's name to verify a PV. ║ ║ ║ ║ MasterCard - An asterix can signify a gold card, but this ║ ║ changes depending when the card was issued. ║ ║ ║ ║ THe following is a dialog between a carder and the phone operator to ║ ║ help you get the idea : ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> American Computer Goods, may I help you? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> Hi, I would like to place an order please. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> Sure, what would you like to order? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> 20 zip disks and a 1 gigabyte drive. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> Ok, is there anything else? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> No thank you, that's all for today. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> Ok, how would you like to pay for this? MasterCard or Visa? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> Visa. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> And your name is? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> Justin M. Kalina. (Name on card) ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> And your Visa card number is? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> 4240-419-001-340 (Invalid card) ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> Expiration date? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> 08-96. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> And where would you like the package shipped to? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> 49 Shongum Road, Randolph, NJ 07869. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> And what is your home telephone number? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> 201/328-8405 (This number is actually usually busy) ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> I will also need your business phone number in case we have ║ ║ to reach you. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> You can reach me at the same number. 201/328-8405 ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> Ok, thank you very much and have nice day. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> Excuse me, when will the package arrive? ║ ║ ║ ║ <Operator> In 6 to 7 days via UPS. ║ ║ ║ ║ <Carder> Thanks a lot, and have a pleasant day. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now, you wait 6-7 days when the package will arrive at the address ║ ║ which is really an abandoned house. There will be a note on the door ║ ║ saying - Hello UPS, please leave all packages for Justin Kalina in the ║ ║ lobby or porch. Thanks a lot, Justin Kalina. ║ ║ ║ ║ There are a lot of things to card. Almost every establishment I ║ ║ know accepts credit cards. Although, if you study this carefully, we ║ ║ can understand why 2600 or RCN probably believes in the motto : In God ║ ║ we trust, all others pay in cash. ║ ║ ║ ║ What do you do with the goods? Use them, sell them, whatever. If ║ ║ you get caught, tough, that's your problem. I personally have my boys ║ ║ do the job for me. I run my own little ring of carders. ║ ║ ║ ║ Recognizing Credit Cards ║ ║ ------------------------ ║ ║ ║ ║ [Sample: American Express] ║ ║ XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX ║ ║ MM/Y1 THRU MM/Y2 Y1 ║ ║ John Doe AX ║ ║ ║ ║ The first date is the date the person got the card, the second date ║ ║ is the expriation date, after the expiration date is the same digits in ║ ║ the first year. The American Express Gold has many more numbers (I ║ ║ think 6 8 then 8). If you do find a Gold card keep it for it has a ║ ║ $5000.00 backup even when the guy has no money! ║ ║ ║ ║ [Sample: MasterCard] ║ ║ 5XXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ║ ║ XXXX AAA DD-MM-YY MM/YY ║ ║ John Doe ║ ║ ║ ║ The format varies, I have never seen a card that did not start with ║ ║ a 5XXX. There are another 4 digits on the next line that is sometimes ║ ║ asked for when ordering stuff, (and rarely a 3 digit letter combo. The ║ ║ first date is the date the person got the card and the second date is ║ ║ the expiration date. Master ard is almost always accepted at stores. ║ ║ ║ ║ [Sample: Visa] ║ ║ XXXX XXX(X) XXX(X) XXX(X) ║ ║ MM/YY MM/YY*Visa ║ ║ John Doe ║ ║ ║ ║ Visa is the most straight forward of the cards, for it has the name ║ ║ right on the card itself, again the first date is the date he got the ║ ║ card and the second is the expiration date. Sometimes the first date is ║ ║ left out. The numbers can either be 4 3 3 3 or 4 4 4 4. Visa is also ║ ║ almost always accepted at stores, therefore, the best of cards to use. ║ ║ ║ ║ My personal experience includes carding modems, books, flowers, ║ ║ Internet accounts, protein skimmers (aquarium stuff), ink cartridges, ║ ║ software (hey you suppliers check this out, card your warez), t-shirts, ║ ║ international phone calls, music CDs, VHS tapes (UFC and Beavis and ║ ║ Butthead), mice, keyboards, speakers, sound systems. Blah.. I forget ║ ║ what else I've gotten. ║ ║ ║ ║ Most of the time now, I just have someone else do it. They are ║ ║ usually loyal, and sometimes I just do a special arrangement for the ║ ║ more experienced ones. I don't do stuff over $2,000 worth, so I can ║ ║ honestly tell you that I've never tried carding a laptop. If you have ║ ║ to sign for a package, use your own pen, and sign a fake name or ║ ║ whoever. Sometimes, leaving a $1 tip on the door stuck to your note ║ ║ helps. Sometimes, knowing the delivery mailman can be beneficial. ║ ║ Sometimes, it's not what you know, or what you can do, but who you know. ║ ║ Having politicians in your pocket, connections with gangs, tie-ups with ║ ║ store establishments, or friends in the Mafia (or Yakuza) can do ║ ║ wonders. ║ ║ ║ ║ I'd say hacking, phreaking, carding, warez and general anarchy are ║ ║ woven in the same web. Some may say carding is a bit on the darker side ║ ║ of things. Then again, that's only my opinion. Here I am typing away, ║ ║ but after this, I am going to go out and play in my sports country club ║ ║ field with my carded soccer ball, wearing my carded socks, go skating on ║ ║ my carded in-line skates, and look cool in my carded shades. Too bad my ║ ║ car had to be stolen, you can't have everything. I'm just kidding about ║ ║ the car. :) ║ ║ ║ ║ A note to a dude who calls himself Sonic Bypass - heya, I felt ║ ║ tempted to put your info as the example in the carding conversation. I ║ ║ could have, but then, well, just chill dude. I hope we make peace next ║ ║ time we meet. I would like to make a public apology to you for whatever ║ ║ I did. And I would like you to do the same, although you need not have ║ ║ to, it's really my fault. Peace. ║ ║ ║ ║ To everyone who wondered why my email address changed, the ║ ║ expiration date on the credit card which my account was on was 06-96. ║ ║ Bummer. Hey Misery, I don't know what else to say about... you know. ║ ║ Make something up. To a certain Nicole, I've never been anything but ║ ║ nice to you. I hope we can at least still be friends. ║ ║ ║ ║ Greets go to my personal friends and members of Fluid Motion, WAY, ║ ║ SIC, REG, UPS, OMNI, and the FWA. I'd like to extend a hand to GODZ, ║ ║ Misery, Gmoney, Nantra, Folk, Maven, Quagmire, Cherie, Maple, Peach, ║ ║ Terror, Tekno, Tred, Cozmoe and Bitz. I know I am going to miss MANY ║ ║ more names, you know who you are. So zugz! to EVERYONE else, that ║ ║ should cover ya all.

I started making fakes during the AOL v2.5 times. It was an easy ║ ║ way of getting warez without paying that much money. I had to pay for ║ ║ the phone line, that was about it. At about May/June 1996, AOL started ║ ║ catching AOL faake accounts, they verified to see if the credit card ║ ║ numbers were real. This disappointed a lot of people, which led more ║ ║ people to make fake account creators that would trick AOL. ║ ║ ║ ║ Da Chronic made a fake account creator included with his AOHell. ║ ║ His fake account creator was the only one to use a checking account. It ║ ║ never worked. Radiator's AOLSD would have probably worked, but there ║ ║ was one problem. They didn't include a credit card number, so you had ║ ║ to get a real one. The rest of the people probably took AOHell and ║ ║ AOLSD, decompiled and made another version of their own. They never ║ ║ modified the code, so the fake account creators still never worked. By ║ ║ the way, if somone does get a VB Decompiler (not DOdis), send it over ║ ║ for trade. ║ ║ ║ ║ These fake account creators did work. The UGK fake account creator, ║ ║ this was one of the best fake account creators. It was the first ║ ║ working one I got, so I made about 20 fakes. It was not password ║ ║ protected, so the certificate # and passwords were drained quickly. The ║ ║ Magik FAC written by Snoop also worked. This was a fairly new FAC made ║ ║ between the time UGK's died and the AOL crackdown of fake accounts. ║ ║ This was password protected so the certificate stuff lasted a while. It ║ ║ wasn't anything like Skitzo's. You could easily hex Magik, but Skitzo's ║ ║ was a password that wasn't even near the question area. This made it a ║ ║ lot harder to crack. Skitzo's FAC was supposed to work, that was what ║ ║ everyone said, but when I tried, it never worked. It must have been the ║ ║ build number which was probably out of date. ║ ║ ║ ║ Since the AOL crackdown on fake accounts. Only a few FACs still ║ ║ work, one of these was the new Skitzo's FAC. I heard it's supposed to ║ ║ work, but I've never gotten hold of it. A number of other FACs were ║ ║ supposed to work, but I've never tried them nor have I gotten them. ║ ║ Since fake accounts are a lot harder to make without using a real credit ║ ║ card number, getting Level 8 OverHead accounts was the solution. Here ║ ║ is a piece of mail that was forwarded back and forth : ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Forwarded message: ║ ║ Subj: Your OverHead Account ║ ║ Date: 96-06-18 04:50:39 EDT ║ ║ From: Steve Case ║ ║ To: TOSAdvisor ║ ║ ║ ║ Good afternoon, John. Here is your OverHead account generator. ║ ║ This is just the basic Level 8 OverHead generator. Once you download ║ ║ this file, simply unzip it, then run the program, and within 2-3 days, ║ ║ AOL will update your account with all the listed abilities : ║ ║ ║ ║ 1.) FREE unlimited time online. ║ ║ ║ ║ 2.) The ability to kick an annoying user from a chat room. ║ ║ ║ ║ 3.) Log a user offline, if he/she has rightfully so violated our ║ ║ Terms of Service. ║ ║ ║ ║ 4.) Terminate a user's account if he/she has rightfully so violated ║ ║ our Terms of Service. ║ ║ ║ ║ 5.) The ability to remain invisible in a chat room to where no one ║ ║ can see you're in the room. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now remember, these are just a few of much more capabilities allowed ║ ║ by Level 8 OverHead account status. So download, unzip, run the ║ ║ COW-OH.EXE while signed on and you'll be set. Also, distribute this as ║ ║ you see fit. Goodbye for now, John. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Steve Case ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ COW-OH.EXE does not work, do not use it. It steals your password. ║ ║ It writes your password to a file and sends it. Why do think they don't ║ ║ let you watch the real part? Because they're just a bunch of pussies ║ ║ that want to steal passwords. I got a CowBoyz version of Descent2 and ║ ║ it didn't work. I'm sure that this does not work either. If you want a ║ ║ real OverHead account generator, use the official AOL one, it doesn't ║ ║ matter. If you do become a part of the AOL staff, use a screen name of ║ ║ yours to do the legal stuff, and use the other one to pirate software. ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ■▄▄█ ▄▄░█▄▄ ██▌ ▄▄ ■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▐██ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▀██▄ ▀▀ ▄▄░█▄▄ ██▌ r c n ▄███ ▐██▌ ▐██▌ ▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀██▌ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄██ ▄▄■▄▄ ▐█▀▀ ▄███▄░█▀ ██▌ ░▀ ▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀██▌ ░▄█▀ ░ ░░ ▀ ▐██ ▄██▀ ░ ▀█░▄ ▄▄█ ▀░▐██▌▀ ░░░░░░░░░▐██ ░░░░ ░░░ ██▌░ ░░ ░▀ ░░░ ▐█▌ ▄██▌▐██▌■▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐██▌ ██░▄ ██▌ ▐██ ▀██▄ ▄████ ▀██▄ ▄██▀ ▄██▀ ▐██▄ ██▌ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀ ▀▀■▄▄▄▀▀▀▀░▄▀ ▀ ▀░ ▐██▄ d e a r r o a d r e b e l ! ▀░ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Welcome to Dear Road Rebel! This is going to be YOUR column that is ║ ║ a cross between Dear Abby and Dave Berry. The most important part of ║ ║ this is YOUR participation. If you have ever had a question about the ║ ║ scene or just a comment, here's the place! Have you ever wanted to know ║ ║ why some people do this or that? ASK! I would love to take it to the ║ ║ extreme for you and we will be happy to research it! I hope you have as ║ ║ much fun with this as I will! Remember, this is YOUR column! ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Dear Road Rebel, ║ ║ ║ ║ First, I'd like to commend you and your fellow RCN members on the ║ ║ creation of the RCN emag and the RCN web page which are awesome and very ║ ║ inspiring to other groups and wannabe groups. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now, to the main topic, DALNet vs. EFNet (I personally don't think ║ ║ UnderNet actually fits into the picture here!). I have been an EFNet ║ ║ regular ever since I introduced myself to the IRC world, which was about ║ ║ 3 to 4 months ago. I knew about the warez scene because of my 2 years ║ ║ BBSing, and then finally running up a $1400 phone bill in two months (a ║ ║ very big FUCK you to AT&T), forcing me to terminate long distance ║ ║ connections for an extensive period of time. I had one or two friends ║ ║ that I knew who were on IRC all the time but I had no idea about the ║ ║ different EFNet, DALNet, etc., server groups. Only in the past month ║ ║ have I traveled these new domains on DALNet, UnderNet and now NewNet, ║ ║ and I quite agree with you that DALNet is one of the best places out ║ ║ there to go for warez (which have now been banned on DALNet I'm sorry to ║ ║ say). But, I have to disagree with some things you said about DALNet ║ ║ last issue (but I'll have to start a new paragraph first). ║ ║ ║ ║ I traveled DALNet's extensive and friendly warez channels as soon as ║ ║ I found it, and tried to make as many friends as possible, and possibly ║ ║ succeeded making friends with 85% of all the people that I chatted with. ║ ║ Until last week when I decided to create my own Fserve/Warez/Trade ║ ║ channel, disaster! I went about the right way to set the channel up, ║ ║ got a decent Bot in there, registered the channel, and registered my ║ ║ bot's nick and my own nick to be auto-opped in that channel. ║ ║ ║ ║ "Cool, no problems there, now to go and find warez lovers to join my ║ ║ channel and trade their little shorts off!" I went into multiple warez ║ ║ channels on DALNet and started to subtly invite people and their fserves ║ ║ to trade in my channel too, some came, some simply said no, or fuck off. ║ ║ After a while watching other peoples' attempts at starting IRC channels, ║ ║ I saw that mass invites would bring an equal amount of traders and ║ ║ lamers (lamers being the ones that try to flood the channel or take it ║ ║ over). I tried this mass invite thingy making sure that I had proper ║ ║ flood protection against these attempts. People joined, then left, more ║ ║ people joined then left, channel ops banned me, then tried desperately ║ ║ to takeover and flood me and my channel, people /msg'd me obscene ║ ║ comments and remarks, but on the other hand, some people said, "Ok, I ║ ║ have an fserve, what do I need to do to have it on your channel?" Or ║ ║ they joined the channel, said hi, when others joined, they all chatted ║ ║ together and it went on to be like a normal warez channel. Then my BIG ║ ║ mistake, I joined the warez channels with 25+ people in them, and ║ ║ started to mass invite people. The same things happened as when I ║ ║ invited smaller channels, only on a MUCH larger scale! Anyways, I ║ ║ eventually got three fserves in my channel and 5 normal people before it ║ ║ was time for me to hang up my modem for another time. ║ ║ ║ ║ I do not think that I will re-create this channel until I have a ║ ║ moderate group of people willing to support the channel. And if anyone ║ ║ else plans to do the same as I did, take this letter as a lesson. ║ ║ ║ ║ As for what you said about no lag, well... I have found that most ║ ║ people try to get on servers that have an IP that is not far from ║ ║ one-another, if you get on a far away server, it sucks, big time. ║ ║ ║ ║ My final word is, DALNet and EFNet are both equally great, for ║ ║ chatting and leeching, but if you want to start a warez channel, make ║ ║ sure you have a very good reason to, like starting a new group is ║ ║ probably the best reason. I wouldn't bother starting a trade channel on ║ ║ EFNet because, quite frankly, they really are not in short supply of ║ ║ them! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Taiji Hide ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Taiji Hide, ║ ║ ║ ║ Well quite a letter.... I haven't spent enough time on DALNet to ║ ║ really know it inside out, but from the time I did spend it was great. ║ ║ I saw a few splits, but they were right back in like 10 secs. As for ║ ║ warez, I think DALNet banning warez is a mistake and it will kill their ║ ║ servers. BUT.... we will wait and see, all I know right now is that ║ ║ DALNet has been around for quite awhile. BUT it isn't growing up, if ║ ║ they let warez people do their thing they would probably explode to ║ ║ life. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Road Rebel ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Dear Road Rebel, ║ ║ ║ ║ I would have to say that I favor EFNet over DALNet. It is true that ║ ║ DALNet has little or no lag, and that it has Chanserv and Nickserv to ║ ║ completely protect channels from takeovers, but what's the fun of that? ║ ║ I think that protecting/taking over channels and colliding nicks is ║ ║ where the fun is! DALNet is a more concern-free network, but in my ║ ║ opinion EFNet is more exhilerating. :) ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ NIN ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear NIN, ║ ║ ║ ║ Yeah, there can be a lot of fun on EFNet, BUT... when you have a ║ ║ channel like ours and you have to do a bussiness out of it and then some ║ ║ jerkoff wants to take the channel because they don't like what you said ║ ║ about them or their group, those are the times I wish I was on DALNet. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Road Rebel ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Dear Road Rebel, ║ ║ ║ ║ I like DALNet much better than the three even though it's smaller. ║ ║ It's cooler, with Chanserv and Nickserv there, it has a lot less ║ ║ takeovers by little 12 year old fucking pricks who think they are god ║ ║ because they have a fucking mirc war script. I'd love it if a lot ║ ║ people went from channel #RCN on EFNet and to channel #Dipshit on ║ ║ DALNet. I love it, plus I don't have to fight for my nick all the ║ ║ goddamned time. There are also a lot less splits so there is less of a ║ ║ chance for colliers get a hard on from colliding you. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ The Fucking Nerd, ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear The Fucking Nerd, ║ ║ ║ ║ EXACTLY!! Preach on brother!!! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Road Rebel ║ ║ ║ ╠════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╣ ║ ║ ║ Dear Road Rebel, One thing is you CAN'T even compare EFNet with DALNet ║ ║ and Undernet for one thing, last time I went to DALNet, the server I ║ ║ logged on to said NO WAREZ or child porns. I agree with the child porns ║ ║ but WAREZ? I went to a warez channel and GUESS what happened I got ║ ║ k-lined. Warez is meant to be traded. DALNet sucks because you can't ║ ║ takeover channels and harrass people! That would suck if every server ║ ║ was like DALNet because we would have no warez and no channel takeovers. ║ ║ The only thing I could say that I liked about DALNet is that there is no ║ ║ lag and splits very little because nobody goes on them! ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Bytes ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ Dear Bytes, ║ ║ ║ ║ I do like the part of what you said is why I like DALNet. NO ║ ║ CHANNEL TAKEOVERS! These lamers that have to take channels becuase they ║ ║ are asked to leave need to grow up.

I think this is best told through an experience I had a few ║ ║ weeks ago. As I see it, there are certain aspects to look out for when ║ ║ talking to a girl online with any provider, be it IRC, or America ║ ║ Online. Let me tell you a story... ║ ║ ║ ║ One day, I was kinda bored, so I decided to call a BBS down in ║ ║ Fremont, California. I usually try to stay away from that board, but ║ ║ sometimes I just go on to be a pain in the ass, or to play some BRE, ║ ║ Barren Realms Elite, a BBS door game. Anyway, I found a girl chatting ║ ║ with this guy in a private room. Now, Fubar is known for its sexual ║ ║ connotation. I thought these two were doing the cyber thing because ║ ║ they were both at that age of discovery, and amazement. The room was ║ ║ also private. ║ ║ ║ ║ I went into the main chatroom, and I started to bug the man in the ║ ║ private room. He never acknowledged me until later. This was getting ║ ║ me bored, so I decided to start to flirt with the girl in the private ║ ║ chatroom. I was doing all of this through private messaging. The girl, ║ ║ right away, got really defensive, and was wondering why I was flirting ║ ║ with her. I really had no reason, and I told her that. She didn't ║ ║ understand that and she continued to put up this fat defense. ║ ║ ║ ║ Now, the guy in the chatroom finally let me in, and as soon as I ║ ║ went in, this girl was still questioning me. I told her again that ║ ║ there was no reason. She still denied what I was saying. Now, being ║ ║ kinda humored by all this, I decided to shoot the shit with her for a ║ ║ while. I was sweet talking her, then the bomb shell hit... ║ ║ ║ ║ The girl said, "I bet you are the kinda guy that likes girls for the ║ ║ outside, rather than their inside! Aren't you?!" ║ ║ ║ ║ I then said to myself, "Uh oh... I bet she's fat." ║ ║ ║ ║ It all added up. First, she got EXTREMELY defensive about me ║ ║ flirting with her. I think the reason for this is that she does not ║ ║ know how to handle being flirted with, and likewise does not know how to ║ ║ flirt back. She thinks she is fat, therefore, she has no self-esteme. ║ ║ Second, she started to question my ethics toward dating other females, ║ ║ giving comments like, "You only look at the outside beauty rather that ║ ║ the inside," or "ALL men are like this!" ║ ║ ║ ║ I am not sure if it is because girls have a wanting need to be ║ ║ loved, or because they have nothing else to do, but it is, as I see it, ║ ║ very sad. I have learned through my all my girlfriends, and ║ ║ acquaintances that girls are very self-conscious about their image, and ║ ║ need to feel special. They need to hear from other people that they are ║ ║ 'not fat' and that they are 'special.' It would be fine if girls ║ ║ complained like this once in a while, because it is just human nature, ║ ║ but they do it CONSTANTLY over the Internet. I have had experience ║ ║ meeting people over the Internet, and in every instance, the girl was ║ ║ not to amusing to me. I usually get bored or pissed because she was ║ ║ bitching. ║ ║ ║ ║ If people want a relationship, the Internet is NOT the way to get ║ ║ baked up. In my opinion, it would be better to just meet people at a ║ ║ local coffee shop, or at a McDonald's. That way, you can see the person ║ ║ that you are meeting, and get to know them while you know what they look ║ ║ like. That way, there are no surprises. Girls can have the most ║ ║ wonderful personality and wit over the Internet, but then if you find ║ ║ out that she is fat... ║ ║ ║ ║ ...BOMBS AWAY!!! ║ ║ ║ ╟────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╢ ║ ║ ║ If any of you are trying to pursue a relationship over the Internet, ║ ║ I'd urge you to take my friend's advice. Either that, or get full body ║ ║ photos from the person you're talking to or you just won yourself a new ║ ║ platonic friend. There is a reason why Cindy Crawfords don't hang on ║ ║ the Internet. ║ ║ ║ ║ As for women in the scene, I personally have not gotten my ass ║ ║ seriously kicked by a girl while shooting the line on the top sites. I ║ ║ still think that if you're a girl, it shouldn't matter, if you can keep ║ ║ up with the elites then you gotta be good. ║ ║ ║ ║ Signed, ║ ║ Frost ║ ║ ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ■▄▄█ ▄▄░█▄▄ ▄▄█▀░▄▄ ▄▄█▀░███ ▐██▌ ■▄███ ▐██▌ ██▌ ▐ ▄■▀ ▀▀██▌r c n ▄███ ▐██▌ ▄███ ▐██▌ ███ ▐██▌ ▄ ███ ▐██ ██▌ ░▀ ▐██▌ ███ ▐██▌░░▐██ ░ ░▐██▌░▐██▀▀ ░▐██▌░░░░ ░ ██▌░░ ░▐██ ░░░ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄ ▐██ ░ ░▐██▌░░ ▐██ ██▌ ██░▄ ██▌ ██░▄ ▄▄▀▀▀■▄░▄██ ██▌ ▄█▀ ▀ ██▌ ██░▄ ██▌ ▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▐██▌ ▄██▀▄█▀ ▀ ▐██ ▐██▄▐█▌ ▐▄▄▐██▌ ▄██▀ ▐██▌ ▀░ ▀ ▀░ ▀ ▐█▌ ▄██▌ ▀░ ▀██▄ ▄███▌▀ ▀ ▀░ m a d r c n ! ▀██▄ ▄████ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀▀ ░▀▀█▄▄▄██▀▀▀ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ Author : Digitex ║ ║ Subject : I Turned Chicken?! ║ ║ ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ║ ║ I'm now fully convinced that I've become a chicken! Maybe an elf, ║ ║ but I'm not going to bother with the details on that. But I did go ALL ║ ║ the way this time, guys, so fear not, and don't get too excited either. ║ ║ ║ ║ It all started one day when I was with Mr. Bitching at the Lancaster ║ ║ Mall here in Salem, Oregon. I met his cousin there at the main office ║ ║ of Lancaster Mall. We were about to go to a movie, I think it was ║ ║ Twister. Of course, I hadn't seen it, that's why I decided to go along ║ ║ since it's my personal goal to see every high-rated movie that exists on ║ ║ this planet. Well, his cousin struck my attention when I met her, she ║ ║ closely resembles Pamela Anderson. VERY closely resembles her. Hell, ║ ║ if she got some implants, she would BE Pamela Anderson. Anyway, it ║ ║ wasn't until later that anything happened between us. ║ ║ ║ ║ Where it all started was at her temporary location (more on this ║ ║ later) at her grandmother's house. We were in the old van just talking ║ ║ about whatever it is we were talking about, that of which completely ║ ║ escapes me at this point. But I decided then and there that I had a ║ ║ certain affection for her, so I had to find some way to get her. The ║ ║ next day, that happened. ║ ║ ║ ║ We were at Mr. Bitching's house and Mr. Bitching was assailing us ║ ║ with many rubber bands. He was armed with a handy-dandy 9mm-like ║ ║ rubber-band pistol. I think it was a Smith & Wesson, I could be wrong. ║ ║ I had my trusty 6 shooter with 1 band left. Tara (the "girl") was ║ ║ sitting on the bed next to me, and I was more or less protecting her ║ ║ from Mr. Bitching's savage onslaught. Later on, about 30 minutes after ║ ║ the beginning of the assault, I looked over to see what exactly she was ║ ║ doing, and noticed (finally) that her head was on my shoulder and that ║ ║ she had her hand on my leg. Well, this led me to a few interesting ║ ║ thoughts, especially as another rubber band slammed into the side of my ║ ║ head. I decided, "Well, shit, this isn't so bad," and let her continue. ║ ║ ║ ║ So, another 15 or so minutes pass and we're holding hands, under the ║ ║ blanket of infinite protection, with rubber bands sailing all around and ║ ║ shit like that. In general, a very interesting scene, if you can depict ║ ║ it. Well, finally we broke up the battle and her and I just stayed in ║ ║ our current positions as Mr. Bitching went off to do something more ║ ║ productive. I think he was in the bathroom, I could be wrong though. ║ ║ Old Lefty likes being in the strangest of places, I've heard. Well, all ║ ║ this junk went on for a while, we were mostly just talking and I was ║ ║ trying to finger out what exactly this was leading up to. The thoughts ║ ║ in my mind were, needless to say, very nice. ║ ║ ║ ║ The next day, I went to Tara's grandmother's house to continue ║ ║ working on a sprinkler-system we were installing for them. A bit after ║ ║ everybody else was concentrating on the work and everything, I went into ║ ║ talk to her. After the work was finished, we went and got Braveheart, ║ ║ and Tara was officially dubbed "my pillow" for the entire movie. Well, ║ ║ that was all fun but not fun enough. ║ ║ ║ ║ Unfortunately, now that you're getting all riled up and ready for ║ ║ some action, nothing more happens here. I hope this pisses you off, ║ ║ because it pissed me off too. So there. The statement of hers and Mr. ║ ║ Bitching's finally sunk in. Tara lives in Bakersfield, California. ║ ║ Well, that's just a happy ending to my story, ain't it? So I broke up ║ ║ with her, not wanting to hurt her or anything, and I guess I pissed her ║ ║ off more than I had wanted to, because now she won't talk to me at all. ║ ║ Well, to hell with her. Ok, finally I've at least cooled down enough to ║ ║ continue living, that's my adventure for the day. ║ ║ ║ ║ And the moral of this story is - don't start a relationship with ║ ║ somebody who lives 1000 miles away. The End. ║ ║ ║ ║ Note : This story is 100% true. The names have not been changed to ║ ║ protect the innocent, help your lawn grow, and especially not to ║ ║ further the health of the human race. I hope more people turn ║ ║ into chickens or elves in the near future.

This is a non-profit venture and we hope that ║ ║ in many ways, RCN continues to benefit the scene.. even when we are not ║ ║ near our computers. ║ ║ ║ ║ ■ The RCN logo is approximately 8"x6" printed on the back of a ║ ║ HEAVY-duty Fruit of the Loom white t-shirt, the front is plain. ║ ║ ║ ║ ■ A preview of the shirt can viewed upon pressing escape. ║ ║ ║ ║ ■ Special orders take up to 4 weeks for shipping. ║ ║ ║ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ Yes, I want my official RCN t-shirt! │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ [ ] Enclosed is $12 for my official LARGE RCN t-shirt. │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ [ ] Enclosed is $12 for my official X-LARGE RCN t-shirt. │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ [ ] Enclosed is $3 for shipping and handling. │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ [ ] Enclosed is an additional $2 for delivery outside the U.S. │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ Total Enclosed : $______ │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ My Mailing Address : ____________________________________________ │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ ____________________________________________ │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ ____________________________________________ │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ Please send payments in cash (U.S. funds only), or money orders │ ║ ║ │ made out to cash (NO CHECKS will be accepted) to : │ ║ ║ │ │ ║ ║ │ RCN │ ║ ║ │ P.O.

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.
