If I had █ █ kept that up, I don't doubt that sooner or later I'd be sitting behind █ █ bars. That interview was very informative, and I'm glad you did it. █ █ Thanks a million! █ █ █ █ Dear Reader, █ █ █ █ You're exactly the reason why we did that interview. The scene █ █ has been around so long that it seems as if we've become overly calm. █ █ We have to remember that what we're doing is, after all, grossly █ █ illegal. We are lucky that it's not very hard to catch us, but if we █ █ become too calm, the FBI WILL catch up with us. █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ Dear RCN, █ █ █ █ Do your balls hang low?

Then one night I went to bed and during the █ █ night I learned the next day that the group broke up, I was told █ █ that griffon did it. So I was angry for a while but now I realize █ █ I should have just kept it going then because it was a good group █ █ with good presence, it's harder now that we're starting over, but █ █ I'm determined to do well this time. █ █ █ █ Q : How will you approach DiC differently his time? █ █ █ █ A : I'm focusing on carefully hand picking the people I had in the █ █ group. I'm picking on loyalty, skill, and dedication to trading █ █ and artwork. The group is classified as warez and art oriented. I █ █ am even considering putting out an art pack each month. We have █ █ quite a few people already for art and a few other have potential. █ █ One even did a picture for Razor! █ █ █ █ Q : So if a person has experience in a group such as Razor, or other █ █ big groups, they will have a higher chance of getting in the new █ █ DiC? How will you better hand pick them? How will you determine █ █ loyalty? What measures will you use? █ █ █ █ A : I will use trial periods to see how they perform. Yes, if someone █ █ has done artwork or couriering for Razor, they have got to be █ █ pretty good, and I'll probably give them a little more leeway than █ █ others that want to join. I'm not accepting any newbies, I don't █ █ have time to babysit and there will be no put downs in the group. █ █ If someone isn't performing they will be told in private by me to █ █ up their standards or resign. █ █ █ █ Q : What is your opinion on taggings? For all new groups, it must be █ █ very hard to find things to tag. Will DiC turn to strip tagging █ █ or double tagging? █ █ █ █ A : I will not double tag! I hate double tagging. █ █ █ █ Q : Will DiC courier files NOT tagged by DiC? █ █ █ █ A : I hope we become official couriers for PSH or some other group so █ █ we can tag their files. If we get files that have tags from other █ █ courier groups, we'll probably just add our nfo file and may be a █ █ small loader, it seems only fair that way. █ █ █ █ Q : If a person from MALiCE joins DiC, will they have to leave MALiCE? █ █ Most major courier groups have rules stating that their members █ █ can only be in one courier group. █ █ █ █ A : That's a tough decision. It will depend on how well it effected █ █ their performance. I would have to ask them to choose. █ █ █ █ Q : How do you compare DiC with the established courier groups such as █ █ RiSC, MALiCE, fATE, and MC? █ █ █ █ A : In order to make Domination In Couriering prominent, we will first █ █ have to compare ourselves with smaller groups like Release on █ █ Rampage and C.O.P.S before we can hope to be compared to fATE. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Gahn █ █ Subject : tKLP Ousted?

All he █ █ is, is a title. He doesn't give a shit for the group's future. I █ █ spend all my time undoing his messes with people all over the net. █ █ I can't keep doing that. RoR has great potential to be a major █ █ release group but tKLP only does what he wants, like a spoiled █ █ baby. █ █ █ █ Q : How was tKLP kicked out of RoR? █ █ █ █ A : With a /kickban... :) █ █ █ █ Q : How long did it take you to conspire the plan of taking over RoR? █ █ Or was it done spontaneously at a moment's notice? █ █ █ █ A : We did not conspire, we made a business desision, that would be █ █ best for the group. I don't want this to seem like we are being a █ █ bunch of young kids or vandels. We just worked so hard at making █ █ this group work that we needed to hold on to something for our █ █ efforts. It was apparent tKLP did not care for the group. So we █ █ decided to keep the group, and kick him. There's something wrong █ █ with TKLP, he thinks he's some sort of god because he ran a group. █ █ All he wanted to do was release everything and anything he could █ █ get his hands on. █ █ █ █ Q : Who will run RoR now that tKLP is gone? █ █ █ █ A : My concern is to show people that we can be a TRUE player in the █ █ scene, not a group that stands alone and fucks with everybody. █ █ I'm not like that and I respect the scene too much for that. █ █ █ █ Q : Was there a lot of trouble when tKLP was kicked out? Were there █ █ members that stuck with tKLP? █ █ █ █ A : He didn't get the name "The Crazy Little Punk" for no reason. I █ █ expect there to be some trouble, but this was done more as a █ █ statement. We don't even want the name RoR because it's banned █ █ off of most boards anyways. I tried to make RoR good while he █ █ just went around screwing over the group. █ █ █ █ Q : So instead of taking over RoR, you're splitting away from the █ █ group, and starting a new one? █ █ █ █ A : We will most likely split off, why would I want the name RoR? I █ █ just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine. █ █ █ █ Q : A taste of his own medicine? Please comment on that.

What will █ █ keep you from becoming the next RoR? █ █ █ █ A : Well unlike most releasing crews, we release both apps and games! █ █ We have only been around a short time now but we have already █ █ developed a solid foundation to begin releasing! █ █ █ █ Q : What are your releases to date? █ █ █ █ A : We have currently released nothing but we are scheduled to release █ █ tomorrow. We will most likely be making 2 or 3 releases tomorrow █ █ or the next day! █ █ █ █ Q : How can you say that you have a strong foundation if you have yet █ █ to release? █ █ █ █ A : We currently have 3 BBSs allied with us. Each of them are 4 nodes █ █ or more. 2 of them are known very well. We also have developed █ █ a strong couriering section! █ █ █ █ Q : You are a release group, what about suppliers? █ █ █ █ A : Well, currently we have 2 strong suppliers. Myself and Major █ █ Access. One of my co-council members, Lucid, will soon be able █ █ to supply for us as well. █ █ █ █ Q : What is going to set you apart from any of the other loser groups █ █ that end up dying? █ █ █ █ A : We have a strong council run by myself, Lucid, and Lax. We also █ █ make it a point to keep in touch with each other when not on IRC █ █ via telephone. █ █ █ █ Q : What are your prior affils? █ █ █ █ A : Well, I was affiliated with fATE in the past under another nick, █ █ MaDDog, as a courier. █ █ █ █ Q : Were you ever affiliated with any release groups? █ █ █ █ A : No, I was not, but I have many connections to supply EXiLE with! █ █ █ █ Q : What makes you think that you will know how to run a release █ █ group? █ █ █ █ A : Well my prior experience in the scene and the way that I have █ █ watched and monitored other heads of groups, I feel I am █ █ qualified! █ █ █ █ Q : Why are you deciding to release both games and utils as opposed to █ █ just one? █ █ █ █ A : We have resources to both Apps and Games, so we decided that we █ █ would release both apps and games until we establish ourselves as █ █ either a games group or an apps group. █ █ █ █ Q : In my opinion, there are too many groups in the scene right now. █ █ Why did you not just join another group instead of starting yet █ █ another? █ █ █ █ A : Well, one of the main reasons we started a group was because of █ █ the challenge involved and because we felt that we were capable of █ █ making an excellent releasing group. █ █ █ █ Q : What will you do to keep from having dupes and uncracked releases? █ █ █ █ A : We would never dupe. To prevent this from happening we check all █ █ release lists put out and we always ask around to be sure. Also, █ █ we would never make a release unless it was cracked.

What areas does NFS specialize in? █ █ █ █ A : NFS is a release group, I got the name from a game. I thought it █ █ was cool. █ █ █ █ Q : Does NFS specialize in releasing games or utilities? █ █ █ █ A : Right now, we are going to release anything, utils, apps, games, █ █ cracks, SNES, and consoles too. █ █ █ █ Q : Would such diversity in releasing help the group's image? Since █ █ you guys release anything? █ █ █ █ A : Yes, I heard from people that consoles are very big in Europe. I █ █ would also like to get our name out on everything. █ █ █ █ Q : What are some of the best NFS releases? █ █ █ █ A : Realms of Chaos and Iceman's Apprentice were awesome. Iceman was █ █ kind of lame, but Sweden liked it. It didn't seem English, but it █ █ was, and it helped get our name out there. █ █ █ █ Q : Realms of Chaos was nuked off of all major boards because it was a █ █ dupe. What will make NFS different and better in the future? █ █ █ █ A : Well, we try to cater to everyone's needs, and we try to be nice. █ █ Some lamers take advantage of that. We are working hard on being █ █ quality and quantity, but not assholish. Bullet Wound, our senior █ █ cracker, decided to turn into an asshole one day, he mass deoped █ █ everyone, and asked me to hand over the sites. I gave him nothing █ █ and kicked him out of the group. We tried to be nice, but he █ █ KNEW we don't have a site up yet. █ █ █ █ Q : Was Bullet Wound a spy? █ █ █ █ A : I am not sure, he is in DTC and DMN though. Philter's a really █ █ lame, he likes to impersonate group leaders. He came up to me as █ █ Philter on his account philter@xmission.com and said to me, █ █ "I'll impersonate you!" He impersonated Anti Derivative, TKLP, █ █ and even me. He would give people DCC requests for the file █ █ "nbc-t.zip". I had auto-get on, so I got the files automatically. █ █ My friend, Red Dog, tried the file, and to his horrible discovery, █ █ his hard drive got formated. We tried tracking Philter, and he █ █ said, "You should try impersonating! It's fun!" He thinks I like █ █ him, but I don't. █ █ █ █ Q : What are your past experiences with running groups? █ █ █ █ A : I never understood about groups before. Now I do. I figured out █ █ that what I did before didn't really work. MTV (Money is too █ █ Valuable), was my first group, and then BMP (Bite Me Productions), █ █ they were not too elite, but it helped NFS because I picked up █ █ about 3 members from there. █ █ █ █ Q : What have you learned from your past groups? █ █ █ █ A : It's hard being a leader, because you have to bust your ass off. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Reporter : Snapcase Interviewee : Omnibuz █ █ Subject : Rebels Affiliation : Rebels Leader █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Q : Let's start with some Rebels history, when did it all start? █ █ █ █ A : It's a long story, the group started in 1984 as an amiga demo █ █ group. We became one of the biggest demo groups in the world of █ █ that time. Rebels Amiga still exsists but is not run by the same █ █ management team. We no longer have anything to do with them. █ █ There is also a Rebels C64 division somewhere in France. We have █ █ no contact with either of them. Rebels PC was started in the █ █ beginning of 1990 by Met and I. █ █ █ █ Q : Who came with the cool slogan "We make all days party days"? █ █ █ █ A : It was something that came up one night many years ago when Rebels █ █ was still only an amiga demo group. Met and some other guys from █ █ Rebels was having a small party at one of a member's house. They █ █ were all dead drunk. It sounds good, life is a party. So we have █ █ kept it ever since. █ █ █ █ Q : What are the requirements to become a Rebels supplier? █ █ █ █ A : We currently have 15 members in Rebels, all of them except one are █ █ located in Sweden, and nearly all of them supply in one way or █ █ another. We try to keep the best quality in our releases, but █ █ sometimes low quality releases gets released by mistake. That is █ █ something we have discussed a lot the past few weeks. We must █ █ hold a release one day and check that everything works instead of █ █ just releasing it as soon as we get our hands on it. We have put █ █ Mercury and Ivanhoe up as seniors, they will check things that Met █ █ and I do not have time for. █ █ █ █ Q : I saw a game being released by Rebels a few weeks ago. I thought █ █ Rebels released only utilities. Are Rebels going to be competing █ █ in the game scene as well? █ █ █ █ A : Caffer, who released it is not even in rebels. We only release █ █ utilities, we will NOT release games. If anyone sees a game by █ █ Rebels, NUKE IT!!! █ █ █ █ Q : How big is Rebels? █ █ █ █ A : Everyone in Rebels is doing this as a hobby and we don't have much █ █ pressure. So I think we are doing very well. We have been among █ █ the top 10 groups for some time now, and before Pantera and Corp █ █ started to release as much as they do today, we were among the top █ █ 5 groups. █ █ █ █ Q : Do you think it is harder for a group to become established if █ █ the group comes from a small country like Sweden? █ █ █ █ A : Yes, but I think it is good that almost everyone in Rebels comes █ █ from the same country and even the same city. Our friendship is █ █ much better than other groups. We often get together to have a █ █ good time without being in front of the computer. █ █ █ █ Q : Where is the Rebels' WHQ located? █ █ █ █ A : We have had a whole lot of boards in Rebels history, many HQ's and █ █ member boards, but we understood that we didn't needed that many █ █ boards. We will never have time to call them as often as we want █ █ to. Anyways, we want boards where we can call and contact each █ █ other. Therefore, we decided to have ONLY two baords. It was █ █ Digital Extortion as WHQ and Masturbation Station as USHQ, both █ █ with telnet. There, we could always get in touch with each other █ █ and with people that were intrested in Rebels, but Digital █ █ Extortion closed. We realized that we needed a board in Sweden █ █ where we could get new nfo's and so on, just a couple of days ago, █ █ we took System one as WHQ (big board in sweden). █ █ █ █ Q : Does Rebels have an official FTP Site HQ? █ █ █ █ A : We have one unofficial FTP HQ. It's mostly for the couriers so █ █ that they can get the releases fast. █ █ █ █ Q : Does Rebels have an official couriers group? █ █ █ █ A : MALiCE is our official courier group. It is working flawlessly. █ █ █ █ Q : How about REBELS on IRC, I can't say Rebels is noticed there. █ █ █ █ A : I agree, we have not been active on IRC, but that is something we █ █ really are working on. We also have our own e-mail address and a █ █ mailbox so you could get in contact with us there also. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Demonic █ █ Subject : Viper Affiliation : DMN Senior █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Q : What is ViPER? █ █ █ █ A : Viper is a courier group, but not an ordinary courier group. We █ █ do more then just move warez, we also decode, and code, do art and █ █ vga's, and we call long distance. █ █ █ █ Q : Who makes up ViPER? █ █ █ █ A : Well, we have many couriers that have big backrounds, some from █ █ MALiCE and fATE, a few from RiSC, and some from dead groups that █ █ died in 1995. We would like to recruit only the best in couriers █ █ and coders and artists. Therefore, we are very selective. █ █ █ █ Q : What are the requirements for one to join Viper? █ █ █ █ A : The requirements for couriers are that they must have 1 year worth █ █ of internet couriering experience, previous affiliations and █ █ references are checked. Artists must have at least 2 years doing █ █ computer art, with accountable artwork and samples. Coders must █ █ be able to code in C or Pascal, and must have a minimum of 2 years █ █ programming demos. I have not yet required Assembly as a factor, █ █ but the ViPER application does mention it. █ █ █ █ Q : MALiCE, RiSC, and fATE require that their members be in only ONE █ █ courier group. ViPER is also a courier group, is there noticeable █ █ conflicts of interest? █ █ █ █ A : No, I believe that being in more then 1 Group is a better way to █ █ get experience couriering in the internet world, but if the two █ █ groups conflict (duty) wise, then i will ask the person to switch █ █ to a diffrent duty or make a choice between the two groups. █ █ █ █ Q : What makes ViPER different from other groups? █ █ █ █ A : We call long distance, and we can decode files. For example, if █ █ Demolition comes to us with a release, but it has a password █ █ protected database, we simply hack into the database and make the █ █ program useable without the password or manuals. █ █ █ █ Q : Does ViPER ever plan on putting on some competition with release █ █ groups? █ █ █ █ A : We are not in here for competition or fame, we are in the scene to █ █ provide quality services so that everything comes from 1 group. █ █ █ █ Q : In your opinion, how does ViPER compare to other courier groups █ █ such as RiSC, MALiCE, fATE, and MC? █ █ █ █ A : Well, RiSC is a good courier group, they move things well, and I █ █ commend them on that, but we will not compare to their level of █ █ courier ability because we do so many other things. MALiCE is █ █ another good courier group, and they compare well with RiSC, they █ █ move things very well and are very orgnized, but all they can do █ █ is courier, and that makes them one dimensional. fATE is a great █ █ courier group, despite some organization problems. They do get █ █ things done, but once again, they can only courier, and that makes █ █ them one dimensional. MindCrash is a well rounded group, but they █ █ have had a lot of personal problems in the past. I think having a █ █ well structured group builds a basis from which to learn from. █ █ █ █ Q : So in general, you feel that a group that can do many different █ █ things is better than a group that specializes in one area. Why █ █ is it then, that all big groups, such as PWA, DOD, RZR, and LGC, █ █ concentrate only in one area, whether it is releasing utilities or █ █ games? █ █ █ █ A : Because doing what those groups do require total attention. Since █ █ you named release groups, they don't have time for other things. █ █ They are focused on one thing, getting those warez out, and that █ █ is understandable. █ █ █ █ Q : So you are saying that that couirer groups, because they do not █ █ have to worry about releasing, have more time to work on other █ █ things such as cracking. What is your opinion on courier groups █ █ that also release? █ █ █ █ A : For a courier group to release as well as courier is a great. It █ █ shows they are orginized and well staffed. A group who does both █ █ is the best group in my book, it shows they can handle their own █ █ releases and do not need help. █ █ █ █ Q : So I assume that, as ViPER gets better, it will also release? █ █ Will that ever conflict with members who are in ViPER who also █ █ supply for other groups. █ █ █ █ A : I doubt ViPER will ever get around to releasing. We would have to █ █ be VERY large staffed to do so, and it would take up too much of █ █ our time. I think growing and getting better at the task at hand █ █ will help us. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄▀▀▀▄▀▄██▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▄ ■ ▄▀▄ ▄ ▄ ▀ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▄▄▄ ▄▀▄░ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▀▄█ ▀ █ ░▀ ░ ▓███▓▀▓█▄▄▄▄▄▄█▀▄▀▄█░ ▓███▀▄▀▄■▄▄▄███▀▀▀▀█▄▄ ▄ ▄░██▌▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▀▄ ▐█▓▐▌▐█░ ▀▐█░ ▓█▀▄▀▄ ▄▀▀▓█▀▄▀ ▀░██▌░▒▀▓ ▄░▀░███▓▀▄▀▀▀▀ ▄▀█ ▀ ░░█ ▓█▓▀▄▄▀▀ ■▓█▄ █▓░▀ █░▌ ■▄░█▌▐▓ ▄ ░▌▄▀░▄▀▓▄▀▀▀▐░█▀▀▀ ▀▄ ▄░ ▓█▀▄▀▄█▀▀ ░▄ █▓▐▌▐▒░░█▀▄▀▄▄██░▄▄▀█ █▓ █ ▒░ ▄▀▀░░█ ▌▀ ░██ ▌ ▀▀▄█▄▀█ ▒░ ▓█▄▀▄▀░ ▌█▀▄ ░░ ▌░▀ ▓█▓ █ ▓▒▐░▀▄░█▀ ■▀█░▌▓ █▓ ▄ ▓▒▀ ▀▐▒░░▌▒▐▌▐░▌░▄▄▓███▓ ▄ ▒▌▓███▓▐▌▐▒ ▓▐▌▐▒░▌ ▄▄▄▀█▓▐▌▐▓▐▐▐▒░▄▄▄▀▀▀ ▐▒ █▓▐▌▐█ █ █▓▒▒░▐ ▌▐▒ ▓██████▓ █ ▓▌▓███▓ ▌▐▌▓█ ▄ ▓▒░▄▀▀▄▄▄■▀█ ▌▐▌▓▐▌▓▒▄ ▀▄▐▌ ▄▀▄ █ ▀ ▀▀█▓▓▌■■ ▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐ █ ▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▄▀▀▀▀▀ ▀ ■ ▀ ▀▄▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄ ■▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀■ ▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ■ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀■▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀ ■▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Author : Manic █ █ Subject : Confusion in ROR █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ FRIDAY NIGHT █ █ █ █ Well, once again we see the sparks fly in RoR, this time things were █ █ a bit different. This was probably the biggest conflict involving RoR █ █ so far, hopefully these problems will go away and the group can get back █ █ to releasing. Apparently, gaHn and Incarnate thought that tKLP was █ █ using RoR for his own personal benefit, and was the sole reason why RoR █ █ had gotten such a bad reputation. They decided they would kick tKLP out █ █ of the group and take it over. Things didn't work as they hoped and the █ █ members stuck behind tKLP more than they did for gaHn and Incarnate. █ █ GaHn and Incarnate lost control of #RoR, and things seemed to be going █ █ back under tKLP's control. What lies ahead for the two groups, well RoR █ █ seems to basically back to normal, with this incident having little █ █ affect on them. As for Gahn and Incarnate, who knows, perhaps they will █ █ start a new group to rival RoR, or maybe they will just stick with other █ █ established groups. tKLP has numerous times proven himself to be a █ █ great leader, despite his age which many people are unable to look past. █ █ There have been many times that he has overcome great adversities with █ █ RoR, and proved himself to be a very experienced and involved person in █ █ the scene. I have nothing but respect for what he has been able to do █ █ with RoR through out all these problems, and I wish him good luck █ █ keeping RoR alive for a long time. █ █ █ █ Gahn has never been one of my favorite people, I have had a few bad █ █ experiences with him, one of the main ones being my expulsion from RoR █ █ soon after he became VP. I tried to point out to people at that time █ █ what Gahn was really like. I do not know whether people believed me, █ █ but the overall opinions I have heard recently have been that he is █ █ power hungry and ego tripping. Incarnate is a devoted and hard working █ █ person who I personally have never had any problems with. I know that █ █ wherever he goes, he will only help out that group tremendously. █ █ █ █ █ █ SATURDAY NIGHT █ █ █ █ I learned today that Gahn will be returning to RoR. However, █ █ Incarnate has been kicked out of RoR. It seems that Gahn used Incarnate █ █ as a scapegoat, and convinced tKLP that the takeover was Incarnate's █ █ idea. Incarnate claims that Gahn was also responsible.

Now RoR is only accepting █ █ the true elites. I think we want to be in a group that is █ █ going to last. Tell me what you think before I spill my █ █ guts on it. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> You want to know the truth? I think we need to rename the group █ █ and start all over because we have the WORSE reputation in the █ █ scene. We need to re-recruit some of our old suppliers. We only █ █ have one or two right now, big shit. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Shit, you are right. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> We suck right now. After the last TWO FUCKED up releases, we are █ █ back to where we started from. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> If tKLP agrees, we should take a week to recruit the best █ █ suppliers and restart. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Or we could merge into another group, what's the point of having █ █ a group that can't release. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Sigh, yeah, but is a merge the answer? Who would WANT us? █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Do ya understand? I think a few groups would. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Well, I want some concrete plans before we take down RoR. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Merging is NOT the answer, but what are we going to do? No good █ █ supplier will come to RoR because we have such a bad reputation. █ █ So what do we do? That's all I want to know. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Would you happen to have tKLP's number lying around? █ █ █ █ <gaHn> We worked too hard to have it all fall apart. Fuck tKLP. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Here's what we do, we suck up, not too noticeably, to some █ █ GOOD groups, get RoR's publicity up, then we drop the group. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> What about that shit Lysergic pulled with that dam release? Why █ █ can't we get fucking disk 6? █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> But we'll be aranging a new group, I've some friends. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> I would rather make RoR better. I love the group. I just don't █ █ like the direction it's going. But if we rename the group, and █ █ pull some suppliers, I think we can rock. Do you think we should █ █ start another group??? █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Another group isn't always the best way, but in our case, it █ █ just might be. As long as our contributing members don't █ █ object, then it would work. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Well, what about tKLP? █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Well, he considers you as the brother he never had, so call █ █ him up, and explain it politely. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Yea, but he may go balistic... :) I have major connections in █ █ PWA, DoD, RAZOR, MALiCE, and RiSC. I think we can start slow and █ █ work real hard at releasing the BEST programs on the market. But █ █ we will need Lysergic and JDA to do it. I can pull in the most █ █ elite couriers to come with us also, a cross between RiSC, █ █ MALiCE, and so on... █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Couriers get about 1/10 of the group's job done. They are █ █ mainly cosmetic, that is if they are elite. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> We really need to recruit some suppliers. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Since Hybrid is dying, think we can grab a few from there? █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Most of them already went to Razor, but we can try. Should we do █ █ both apps and games? I think we can release both, but I think we █ █ should really think about that.

I want us to █ █ have the BEST relations with other groups. RoR files aren't even █ █ allowed on "The Wall". I have to twist tKLP's arm so he doesn't █ █ release everything he gets. It's a fucking battle every day. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> He always quits irc in the middle of a conversation, he █ █ kicks people out of RoR for the dumbest reasons. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Did you notice how well Legacy is doing? Well, everyone thinks █ █ Legacy is better than us. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Legacy sucks. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Yeah, but they are doing well. I hate that. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Yeah.. sigh. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> I would stay here but TKLP would have to leave, but I don't want █ █ to hurt him. RoR would get a better name very fast if he left. █ █ But as I said, I don't want to hurt him. Now about me. A lot of █ █ people may not like the way I do things. They all know that I do █ █ a good job and run a group like a real business so that helps us █ █ a lot. I don't take lame shit from anyone, and that's the way it █ █ should be. I have people from MALiCE, RiSC, and DOD telling me █ █ all the time that I should just take the group, but I don't want █ █ to do that. I think we can recruit some awesome suppliers. So █ █ what do you think? Keep RoR or start another group? █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Let's start recruiting, see how it goes, and if it's not █ █ good. We try and reform RoR, but I think it WILL go good. █ █ █ █ <gaHn> Whatever we do, I have the support of MALiCE and RiSC, assuming █ █ tKLP is not in it. █ █ █ █ <iNCARNATE> Same here, I've got friends in NTA (not that those lazy bums █ █ could help....=) We will need a name.

I am TRiTE, a new writer █ █ on the outstanding RCN staff. In this issue, I will be reviewing and █ █ rating utility groups and their roles in the scene. I hope I will serve █ █ RCN well with well thought-out, unbiased opinions. My rating system is █ █ based on three criteria which I believe all releasing groups should █ █ follow. They are: █ █ █ █ █ █ 1. QnQ Theory. QnQ means "Quality not Quantity." I believe that █ █ all groups should embrace this theory, not worrying about beating █ █ everyone else with the speediest release team, but ensuring a █ █ quality release, one without errors, virii, or a proper crack. █ █ █ █ █ █ 2. Group support. By this I mean a group open to suggestions and █ █ criticism without getting overly fizzled by the sutuation. A █ █ group needs input from its end users as to better its team in █ █ future releases. █ █ █ █ 3. Scene Awareness. This is perhaps one of the most important of █ █ the three. This is how aware a releasing group is of the scene, █ █ what it stands for, and what it means to them. I rate this based █ █ based on how a group treats visitors to their channel, how they █ █ respond to inquiries about joining, their participation in █ █ spreading their release, and their communication with couriers. █ █ Universally, who they are, and the role they play in the scene █ █ today. █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ █ █ /\____/\_____/\____/\__ █ █ / ___ _______ \____ \ █ █ / / / / \ __/ /__/ / █ █ / /__/ / _/ \_ _/ \___/ █ █ \__ /\__ /\__/ / / █ █ \_/ \_/ \_/\_/ █ █ █ █ The first group I will be reviewing is "The Corporation." TC █ █ emerged onto the scene a few months ago as a Telecom Courier team. They █ █ have since developed into a strong utility release team. Headed by █ █ 'Uncle John' and 'David and Goliath,' this team has played a major role █ █ in the utility scene. Pushing themselves to the very limits of their █ █ superior releasing ability, they have dominated the utility scene in █ █ past weeks, compromising the integrity of even the oldest and most █ █ respected teams. I feel TC to be a major rising power in the scene in █ █ the past weeks, compromising the integrity of even the oldest and most █ █ respected teams. I feel TC to be a major rising power in the falling █ █ ranks of neighboring competitors. █ █ █ █ Since January 1, 1996, TC has released approximately thirteen █ █ quality releases, embracing the Quality part of the QnQ theory, while █ █ surpassing the Quantity component. So far, I have not heard any █ █ complaints on TC releases, so as for now I give TC a 9.5 based on the █ █ QnQ Criteria. █ █ █ █ I have visited #corp on IRC here and there just to sneak a peek of █ █ what they're up to. I was surprised to see the goings on in this █ █ channel. Potential applicants are greeted respectfully, and given an █ █ application as soon as someone can find one <grin>. Anyone with █ █ questions or remars about past, present, and future releases is answered █ █ promptly upon request. This is truly an amazing group with major █ █ potential for greatness. I give them a solid 9 for group support, and a █ █ 7 in scene awareness. The reason for the 7 is that I feel, although TC █ █ is speedy with quality releases, it seems to me that they are a little █ █ pre-occupied with the Quantity component of QnQ theory, and this is not █ █ what the scene is about. It's not a race of fierce competitors in the █ █ underground of computer software, it is the bringing of quality software █ █ to all of us WareZies :-) █ █ █ █ Overall, I give TC a rating of 8.5, without neglecting a small █ █ margin for improvement. TC is a great team with strong suppliers! █ █ █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ _______________ ____________ ____________ █ █ \_ ___ \_ ___ \ ___ \_ █ █ _/ l/ / l/ / l/ / █ █ \______ / / / /____ / /| █ █ ======\________/\__________/[⌡m]\________/== █ █ ≡(*)≡ D r i n k O r D i e 1 9 9 6 ≡(*)≡ █ █ █ █ The next utility releasing group I will be rating is "Drink or Die" █ █ (DOD). DOD is no newcomer to the scene. In fact, DOD is one of the █ █ oldest, most respected utility group in the scene today. They first █ █ emerged several years ago, back in the age of 2400 baud modems, and █ █ when the Internet was just being introduced to the warez scene. DOD has █ █ been releasing quality utilities ever since I can remember, and I'm sure █ █ it will continue to be a strong force in utilities for a long time. █ █ █ █ In the past, DOD dominated the scene with their quick releases, but █ █ not neglecting the quality. I feel that recently, DOD has been more █ █ concerned with releasing something very fast, with little regard to the █ █ size of the ware or its integrity, than with anything else. Although █ █ they have a much lower defect rate on their releases than a lot of other █ █ groups, I just don't think they pay as much attention to what they █ █ release. I think last week I saw a 52 disk release of a lawyer program. █ █ This is what I'm talking about. I'm sure a few people might take the █ █ time to download that, I'm sure most won't. So my rating for DOD on QnQ █ █ is 7.5. █ █ █ █ DOD has been a leader in releasing for years, and since have made a █ █ respectful impression in the warez scene, I can only hope other groups █ █ strive to achieve what they have accomplished. I had a hard tiem rating █ █ their group support component, as they keep their channel invite only at █ █ all times, and I'm told they do all recruiting by mail and on one of █ █ their HQ Sites, which is fine, but I do not see any interfacement █ █ between the group and the rest of the scene, which as state before, is a █ █ major problem if they are trying to improve their team to become more █ █ effective in releasing. So my rating for group support is 7. DOD has █ █ shown us their superior ability in releasing throughout the years, and I █ █ feel they have tremendous scene awareness, after all, how could they █ █ have survived so long without awareness? I can't really say much except █ █ kudos to DOD for their efforts. A solid 8 for scene awareness. █ █ █ █ DOD's longevity and dominance in the scene is an admirable one. █ █ They have been among the leading release groups in existance, as long as █ █ the scene has existed. They play a vital role in the existance of the █ █ warez scene. My overall rating of DOD is 7.5. They have the strength █ █ and experience of an able group, and they play a major part in the scene █ █ as we know it. They hvae achieved greatness and have done, and to this █ █ day, still do their part. It might possibly be that their experience █ █ and long life is what's holding them back. █ █ █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ █ █ ▄ ▀▀██▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ █ █ ▀█▄ ▀█▌▀█▄ ▐ ▄█▀ ▄▄██▌ A Group █ █ ▐█▌ ▐▌ ▐█ █▌▐█▌ ▄█▀ █ That Gives █ █ ▄██▌▄▀ ▄██▌▀██▌ ██ ▐▌ Slightly █ █ ▀███ ▀███ ▀█ ▐███▄▄ █ Less Than █ █ ▐█▌ ▐█▌ ▐▌ ▀██▀ ▀▄ A Fuck. █ █ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ -XeN █ █ █ █ Finally, "Pirates with Attitudes" (PWA) has been around since the █ █ birth of the scene as we know it. They practically invented it! PWA in █ █ the past has been the role model for groups, to achieve excellence and █ █ respect, small groups on the rise used PWA as their goal. If they could █ █ rank with PWA, they would have done what few groups have ever done. █ █ That is still the case today. █ █ █ █ PWA has had approcimately 17 releases in the January 1-January 10, █ █ 1996 time frame, completely obliterating all competition. They have had █ █ a continual omnierous presence in the scene since their birth and are █ █ still today, which is why I rate them a solid 10 for QnQ theory. █ █ █ █ Since PWA's merger with SCuM I have not heard of any recruiting. █ █ Their channel is locked, invite only. I am not sure ohw they recruit or █ █ if they even recruit at all. In this case I don't see a problem with █ █ this, because from what I have seen, it definitely works for them! █ █ Although this is not good practice for a group, I give them a 7 on group █ █ support. █ █ █ █ PWA has basically been a closed group, open to only the best █ █ traders, sites, and suppliers. They give a new meaning to excellence, █ █ and are an evident role model among competitors. They have strived █ █ throughout the years to be their best and have done what few have done, █ █ survived. I rate PWA a 9 in scene awareness. Overall, I rate PWA a 8.7 █ █ because they could use some work on group support. █ █ █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █ █ █ █ █ To recap, I see The Corporation as a rising entity n the util scene █ █ with the talent and potential to be a great group. Drink or die has █ █ always been a major competitor, but lately have just slumped in other █ █ areas. Pirates With Attitudes as always is the leader in the util scene █ █ with tremendous power and prestige. I just hope they do not fall prey █ █ to their egos. █ █ █ █ Overall Scores: █ █ --------------- █ █ 1. Pirates With Attitudes [8.7] █ █ 2. The Corporation [8.5] █ █ 3. Drink or Die [7.5] █ █ █ █ █ █ The problem with user response is that they all fear the IRCOps, █ █ thinking that an IRCOp will /kill them when they come on, or kill them █ █ when they speak to them. And that fear is wrong, I cannot believe that █ █ IRC could ever become so hostile in such a short period of time. I am █ █ also angry at the IRCOps who do not confront other IRCOps who do wrong! █ █ It has been a few weeks since the problem with Piker, and there are █ █ still no responses, and no actions. This gives users of IRC a reason to █ █ fear the IRCOps, because as "Piker" epitomized, IRCOps can do anything █ █ to anyone, without reason, right or wrong, and it will go unheard and █ █ unpunished. So users on irc, beware, the "irc.portal.com" IRCOps, they █ █ can do whatever they want, to whomever they please. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Author : Demonic █ █ Subject : fATE Senior Staff vs. Ctiger? █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Well, this doesn't make much sense but the facts are, an attempt at █ █ taking over Anti Derivative was foiled, or was it an attempt? Who █ █ knows, better yet, ask who cares, but as Ctiger was stating it was no █ █ little thing. It all started when Ctiger made a statement that the Prez █ █ and VP are NEVER around, and she thinks they should be around more █ █ often. Anti Derivative and god didn't take that lightly, but it got █ █ worse, Ctiger also said that Anti Derivative should not be the Prez of █ █ fATE and that it should be Touch Tone, and no one else. She basically █ █ said that Anti Derivative was worthless, but he was not going to stand █ █ by idly. What started as a "voicing of opinions" soon turned into a █ █ large swearing match, Ctiger was called an "IRC Whore", etc. But why is █ █ all this fighting happening if there was no takeover attempt? Touch █ █ Tone said, "I saw no mutiny. There was no attempt. I was not involved █ █ in a takeover of the senior staff of fATE." Which was true, but what █ █ Ctiger was saying that some of the lagging members in fATE, such as Anti █ █ Derivative, could be replaced. However, Touch Tone said he would NEVER █ █ take the position of Prez of fATE unless Anti Derivative stepped down. █ █ █ █ As god said earlier, "Ctiger brought out that truck driver part of █ █ her we didn't know about, and she said things unforgivable." The funny █ █ part is, she was trying to say that Anti Derivative was a bad Prez █ █ because he was not online much, but he was not online much because he █ █ was busy taking care of the fATE boards, off of the internet, which is █ █ very commendable. So Ctiger's hope of pinning an "Inactive" Anti █ █ Derivative failed miserably, and in the process, showed her real side, █ █ proving that fATE cannot have her as a member. █ █ █ █ Not to say anything bad about Ctiger, but here's something for her, █ █ "Look before you leap" because jumping out on those very fragile LIMBS █ █ is a dangerous thing.

There are too many █ █ nowadays, and that means that to become better than another group, you █ █ really don't have to work very hard. With this, come a lot of problems █ █ with egos. The minute a group gets big, or at least bigger than █ █ another, its leaders get all egoistical and start treating members like █ █ shit. I saw this a few days ago with a member applying to Legacy. It █ █ was a member applying as a supplier, we chatted a bit, and decided that █ █ we would accept him as a games-only supplier. █ █ █ █ The decision made by the member himself was that he would supply all █ █ of his games to Legacy, and probably his utils to ROR, something I look █ █ very deeply into because it was no longer my matter. Not a minute after █ █ the decision was made and I announced to the group that we were █ █ welcoming a new member, tKLP (of whom we've spoken too much in this █ █ issue the way it is) spurted out "He's MINE!!" He proceeded to say that █ █ ROR would offer him more than Legacy would. I haven't stopped thinking █ █ about the incident since. █ █ █ █ The member was brought into the group upon his own will. He was not █ █ bought into the group with a senior position or anything to that nature. █ █ He applied, and we accepted. Telling him that another group would offer █ █ him more is like luring a dog in with a bigger dinner plate than the █ █ neighbor gave him. Suppliers, if anybody, are usually treated worse █ █ than anybody else, which seems rather backwards to me. Suppliers, █ █ because they are often not conversed with as much, are seen less and █ █ thus have their opinions ignored. We can't treat our members as dogs, █ █ nor can we continue to be so egoistical. One thing I have learned █ █ through my time in the scene is that you get nowhere by being an asshole █ █ to everybody you see. It only damages relations with others, and will █ █ ultimately get banned off of every channel/board/friends list you ever █ █ try to set foot on. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Author : Rebel Chicken █ █ Subject : Hybrid Leaders on WELFARE??? █ █ █ █▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ From my sources, I have learned that the Hybrid leaders, are █ █ currently leeching off of the government of United States. I must also █ █ assume then, because the Hybrid leaders are on Welfare, they must have █ █ a lot of free time on their hands. This information is unconfirmed, but █ █ the word of the hour claims that the Hybrid leaders, because they pay █ █ their suppliers, are in financial troubles. In order to get out of █ █ their humongous debt, the Hybrid leaders must find MONEY to repay their █ █ suppliers. What's the quickest way to MONEY? Welfare. █ █ █ █ According to my calculations, if the Hybrid leaders, did not eat, █ █ and sold all their food stamps, and saved the rest of their money. Then █ █ perhaps they could get out of their debt by mid February or early March. █ █ The Scene is in need of another good games group such as Hybrid, with █ █ the death of TDU-JAM, the scene slumped horribly, and it would be sad to █ █ see Hybrid die as well. However, I would like to show sympathy for a █ █ great group such as Hybrid. First off, their leaders are probably █ █ unemployed, third class citizens with low morale, so they have all this █ █ free time making Hybrid a good group, and then, they have to watch their █ █ group die due to financial problems. A good games group such as Hybrid █ █ must certainly help lift up the spirits of their poor leaders, and to █ █ see Hybrid die must be heart breaking. I hope those problems are █ █ resolved soon, if not, I hope that Hybrid at least lives on for a long █ █ time, after all, it's a nice name. █ █ █ █ However, if the Republicans, lead by Bob Dole and Newt Gingrich, get █ █ the cutbacks on Welfare and Medicaid, then the Hybrid leaders would be █ █ getting a pay cut, and in turn, it would take til around late March or █ █ early April before Hybrid gets back up. So for those of you who do not █ █ like Hybrid, vote Republican, and for those of you who like Hybrid, vote █ █ Democrat. However, you must also remember, Republicans respect the 2nd █ █ ammendment (right to bear arms), and also respect the freedom of the █ █ internet (speech), and have not expressed much in regards to regulating █ █ pirated software. For those of us old enough to vote, it will be a hard █ █ choice indeed. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ░▄■▀▀ ▄ ▀■▄ ▄ ▀ ▄ ░ ░ ▄ ▓█▌ ■ ▐▓▄ ░▄▄■ ▀ ░ ▄█ ▒ ▓▄▄▄▄▄▄▓▒▒■ ██▄▄░▄▄▄▄▌░▄▄▄▄▓███▓▄▄▄▓███▓▌ ▓█▀▄ ▐▄▄▓ ▄▄▄▓▌░▄▄▄▄▓█▓▒▓▄▀▀▀█ ▓█▓▀▀▀▀▀▀░█ ▓▀▀▀▀▀▓███▓▀▀▀▀▀▀▓███▓▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ██▀█▓▀▀▀▀▀▓████▓▀▀▀▀▌▀█▌ ▒ ▓ ░▀ ▄■▀▀▀■█▓ ▄■▀▀▀■▄ ▀░ ▄■▀▀▀■▄ ▀░▐▓█▄■▀▓▀■ █ ▄■▀▀▀■▄ ▀▄ ▄■▀▀▄ ▐░ ▀░ ░ ░▒ ▐▓▌ ░▓ ▓░ ░▌ ▐▒ ■ ░▀▓ ▓ ▓▌ ▐▓ ▓▌ ▒▌ ▓▀▀▓█▓▀▒ ▐░▌ ▒░░▐░▌ ▄▄▄░▌▐░░ ▒▌ ▐░▌ ▌ ░░ ░▓▌▐░░ ▐█ ▐▒ ░ ▌ █▒▓▐▓▌ ▐▓▌ █ ▐▓▌ ▓▌ ■▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▓▌ ▐▓ ▐░ ▄▒ ▓▓ ▐▓▌ ▓░ ▀▓ ░▓ ▓▓ ▐░▌ ▐▌ ▓░ ▀▓▓▌ ░▓ ░░ ▒█ ▓▀ ▒▄ ▀■▄▄▄■░ ▄ ▀■▄▄▄░▀ ▐▄ ▀■▄▄▄░▀█ ▓▄░░▓▄ ▐▓▄ ▓▄ ▀■▄▄▄░▀ ▄▄ ▀ ▀ ▓▀ ▒ ▓█▓▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▓█▓▄▄▄▄▄▄▓███▓▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▀█▄▄▄▄▄▄▓████▌▄█▓▄▄▄▄▄▄▓███▓▄▄▄▄▄█▓▄▄▄▓██ ▀▀▀▀▀░▀▀▓█████▓▀▀▀▀█ ▀▀▀▀▌ ▀▀▀▀▀███▓▀▀▀▓▌ ▀ ■▄ ░▀▀▀▀▀▌ ▓▀▀▀▀███▀▀▓▀░▓▀ ░▀▀▓▌ ░▀▓▌ ░ ▐▓ ░ ▐▓▀ ▀■▄ ▀■▄▄▌▄ ▄▄■▀ ▄ ■▀ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ █ █ █ Welcome to Dear Entropy!

I think that maybe it is the █ █ job of the releaser to print more clearly what exactly the program is █ █ on the file_id.diz. We used to have more of a description, now it's █ █ just 5 lines of cheap ascii, and 1 line to describe what it is. What is █ █ more important to you?

The term that has come to mean so much to some of us. What is █ █ it really? A small ascii symbol, but to some it is more likely their █ █ source of power and maybe even their ego. People seem to go into █ █ channels and beg for them. They say that they will do anything to gain █ █ it, but why? Is having the power to kick/ban/invite/whatever so great? █ █ In my opinion, no. Sure it is nice to have and it does have many █ █ advantages, but other then that. it is a bunch of pixels grouped in a █ █ small symbol. People, GET OVER IT. If having a @ next to your name █ █ means so much, then you have to get out more! Having a @ does not mean █ █ you're cool or k-rad. Are you trying to impress your friends by saying █ █ that you have ops in #Warez5000 because then, you can just kick those █ █ really lame AOL people. Let me tell you something, those AOL peopole █ █ are no worse then you if you are like that. RCN reported last issue on █ █ the IRC Ops and how they just ban because out of pure selfishness, █ █ without regards to improving the Internet. If you have a @ in channel, █ █ respect it, but don't worship yourself. If it is taken away from you, █ █ it does not mean you are an idiot or that people hate you. It is merely █ █ nothing special. █ █ █ █ P.S. Remember to reply!
