Swappers...Dad's Guide.
I've been trading now for over six years.During this time I had contacts
in the four corners of the world.My point is,that I've noticed a set down
pattern that vertually all swappers fall into.So thats what I'm going to
write about.Basically they all fall into catagories...
(i) The Lamer.
Right,most of you know about these guys.You place an advert in a zine
and you get a package from a guy claiming to have the "hottest stuff".So you
open the package and stick in the discs.What you usually find is some
ancient game that was out months ago or the worst virus infectted disc
you've ever got.Take this for example...I once got a letter from a lamer who
wrote,"only the hottest stuff ! Send NOW to Highlander PLK....".Well he
sounds all right,but lets look at the discs."Lemmings",a good game but its
the untrainded version that was cracked four and a half months ago."budbrain
II",a nice demo from last year though !! My conclusion..a typical lamer.
(ii) The Speed Swapper.
This is the sort of guy who write "0-1.5 day old stuff,elite only !"
Well he certainly lives up to his name.His stuff is usually downloaded and
when you receive it,it is eally very new ! Now you've got some really great
stuff from him,but you're in a bit of a fix.What are you going to send him ?
Your stuff is new but not that new ! You're fucked ! So you send him back
some stuff,(mainly demos) and he hates demos so he tells you to "Fuck Off".
(iii) The Normal Swapper.
This breed of swapper is without a doubt the best.A guy who has most
of the recent releases and a good backlist.He usually returns a package a
day or two after he receives it.This guy knows what a "letter" is,and is not
scared to write a long one.A real friend who phones,doesn't boast and
generally is friendly.These are the guys that real swapping is made up of.
