│ Dear Reader : │
│ │
│ This is the tenth issue of Reality Check Network. By this time, we │
│ feel that we are well established and are willing to better yield to │
│ the readers' demands. Improvements are constantly being made to RCN as │
│ a result of reader input. If you would like to participate in the │
│ further enhancement of RCN, or if you would like to subscribe to our │
│ mailing list, please send E-Mail to an385786@anon.penet.fi. │
│ │
│ On December 26, 1995, Chris Eden, better known as Spyder-X on the │
│ net, passed away. We would like to dedicate this issue of RCN in memory │
│ of him, for his hard work in the scene and his many talents. You are │
│ missed by many. If you would like to write to Chris Eden's father, │
│ please e-mail your letters to the above anon address and we'll forward │
│ them to Ratphour who, in turn, will forward them to Chris' father, Ray. │
│ │
│ NEW, and IMPROVED (I guess), RCN now has an ASCII version for all of │
│ you, that for some reason just can't handle our totally k-rad coded one. │
│ It's called RCN-10.TXT and is located within the main ZIP. Enjoy it! │
│ │
│ RCN issues have now been made available to a wider audience thanks │
│ to our new WebSite courtesy of RATM. Please feel free to browse around │
│ - http://www.shu.edu/~importmi/rcn/. RCN ardently feels that our │
│ WebSite will satisfy our readers and is a welcome addition. │

█ Throughout these past 9 issues, Reality Check Network has received █
█ a great amount of user response. The RCN staff has decided to publish █
█ these comments, whether supportive or destructive. We would like to █
█ encourage our readers to continue to voice their opinions, and we would █

█ █
█ Dear RCN, █
█ █
█ Hey there... well just to comment on RCN-09.ZIP, I find your attacks on █
█ INQ a joke. Though in my opinion, e-mags aren't very important, just █
█ fun to read when you are bored, but between INQ and you, I gotta go █
█ with INQ. Not because they are so much better, but because of the █
█ content in RCN. You treat small, no-name groups as if they are worth █
█ mentioning. We see a million little, crappy internet groups appear and █
█ disappear, and nobody cares. Why? Because there was no point to them █
█ in the first place. So until you start covering things worth █
█ mentioning, besides some no-named couriering group, that I have never █
█ seen a file tagged by on PC, XF, or Akira... █
█ █
█ Dear Reader, █
█ █
█ You know why the scene is filled with so many egoistical people? █
█ Because you have to be in a big group to get noticed, and if you're █
█ not, you're a "lamer" and aren't worth mentioning. What these "lamers" █
█ tend to do is make their own groups so they can get started in the █
█ scene. That's called ambition, and though it often fails, it deserves █
█ recognition. If you think of yourself as a person more elite than the █
█ content of these groups, you should feel good about yourself, it is █
█ your level that these groups are trying to reach. Perhaps greater █
█ recognition of these smaller groups will bring more people into the █
█ "elite" scene as we know it, and maybe someday yield an awesome █
█ supplier or a kick-ass courier to YOUR group. █

█ Dear RCN, █
█ █
█ Reading Issue #7 I notice emphasis on Windows 95. I thought real men █
█ use no Windows 95. Ar! Ar! What gives? █
█ █
█ Dear Reader, █
█ █
█ Heheheh, well Windows 95 seems to be the operating environment of the █
█ future. I would refine your hypothesis of real men NOT using Windows █
█ 95 to "Real men use Windows 95 on a Pentium 100 with 32 megs of RAM and █
█ a 2 gig hard drive" - Note that under that hypothesis, I am by no means █
█ a real man, but I think my point has been made. If you offer Windows █
█ 95 a hefty enough system, RA RA!! It'll push some real multitasking █
█ speed! I say get used to Windows 95, it's an awesome improvement over █
█ 3.1, and heck, as long as we can still access MS-DOS, s'all good, █
█ right? ;-) █

█ █
█ █
█ Dear RCN, █
█ █
█ I went into #hybrid and there were about 10 people there (maybe I came █
█ at a good time, I dunno). So I asked them to dispel the rumors that █
█ they were dead. They attribute their temporary lack of releases to the █
█ post-Christmas season, saying that software companies do not usually █
█ release any games after Christmas, as few people would buy them; █
█ therefore HBD is also not releasing much during this time. █
█ -Apprentice (no affils) █
█ █
█ Dear Reader, █
█ █
█ Again, I hate to use my own group as an example, it always sounds █
█ biased, but I'll say this much. Legacy has had no problems releasing █
█ games this year. Usually the programs we'll find right after Christmas █
█ are more like compilations of older games, but nonetheless, they are █
█ still store releases. We still find games that aren't compilations, █
█ usually stuff that was hard to crack and groups just skipped, so we'll █
█ go in there with our cracking force and try a bit harder the second █
█ time around. Using Christmas as an excuse doesn't work. There's █
█ always more to release. Pre-Christmas, we find the huge store █
█ releases like Warcraft II and the like. Post-Christmas, we find █
█ releases from the smaller companies.. █

█ █
█ Q : In RCN #09, Fallout's interview quoted that you took over #NFS, █
█ mass deoped everyone, held #NFS hostage and asked for sites. Are █
█ Fallout's words true? █
█ █
█ A : No, the day before the takeover of #NFS, I received a trojan from █
█ someone using the nick tKLP. This file was called "nbc-t.zip". I █
█ unzipped the program, and ran it assuming that it was a nbc file █
█ tagger. I ran it and poof. My c: drive went, but I was still █
█ able to switch to an mIRC Window because Windows was on my other █
█ hard drive. I then told Fallout that I would be gone for a while █
█ because I needed to fix my computer. I did not log on the Net █
█ for two days. After I had shut off my computer, there was no way █
█ to get back into Windows 95 until I got the original CD from my █
█ friend Carcnoid. Carcnoid then asked me if I was online because █
█ #Demolition was just taken over by someone called Bullet Wound. I █
█ knew it was not me since my computer was down, so it had to be █
█ someone else. I suspected that the person taking over channels in █
█ my name had to be either Phatman or Flake. Ever since I got on █
█ the Net 7 months ago, they have been trying to fuck with me. █
█ █
█ Q : How did you narrow down the suspects to two people, Phatman and █
█ Flake? █
█ █
█ A : I got back on the Net 2 days later, and I saw someone online with █
█ my nickname, [-bW-]. I said to the impostor, "FUCK YOU!" It had █
█ to be Flake because he did not have call waiting. I called Flake █
█ on his voice line and asked him why his data line was busy. He █
█ told me his sister was talking on the phone. I didn't believe him █
█ so I got my friend Tranq to 3way 611 and test the line for █
█ difficulties, and we found out immediately that it was a modem on █
█ the line, not his sister talking with a friend. Flake was █
█ responsible for taking many channels that I am not aware of. █
█ █
█ Q : How did Flake impersonate you to get ops? Did he have access to █
█ your account? █
█ █
█ A : No, I am using a Cybergate Slip/PPP account to access the Net. █
█ From there, I telnet to my shells. With mIRC, you can change your █
█ real name, alias, etc. Cybergate is also composed of about 5000 █
█ accounts of wich 4500 are cracked. █
█ █
█ Q : How do you feel about Flake hurting your reputation? █
█ █
█ A : I have been working hard at getting my reputation back up. █
█ Distinct understood that it was not me because they think I was █
█ honest or some shit like that. Demolition believed me with any █
█ explanation and Nokturnal Trading Alliance did not really care. █
█ The only two groups that cared were aCe and NFS. Both groups █
█ kicked me out and did not seem to want me back. █
█ █
█ Q : Why do you think that aCe and NFS did not believe your story? █
█ █
█ A : I really don't know. I knew Fallout from AKA and I would have █
█ though that he would understand. I guess people from DMN are more █
█ understanding. Besides, why would I take over sooooooo many █
█ channels? What for? To prove that I am a big man? I already █
█ know I am :) j/k. █
█ █
█ Q : What is your opinion of Fallout and NFS now that you got kicked █
█ out of that group for something you apparently did not do? █
█ █
█ A : Fallout is cool I guess, and it must really suck for him because █
█ take overs suck. Since he wants me out, that's fine with me, but █
█ if he wants me back, it'll also be fine. I have no personal █
█ grudges with him. He is just trying to make the scene a little █
█ better. █

█ █
█ Q : What is Designated Couriering Specialists? █
█ █
█ A : dCS is another courier group, not just any courier group because █
█ we are a group that tries to get shit done while having fun. dCS █
█ was created by a few ex members of DiC. I was a senior in DiC and █
█ I really didn't like the way it was being run. They were lazy at █
█ the time, so Format, Cluster, and I decided to go on our own. We █
█ specialize in couriering and couriering only. █
█ █
█ Q : Was the leadership in the old DiC too much for you guys? Would it █
█ not be easier to reform DiC than to start a new group? █
█ █
█ A : To reform DiC at the time would have been impossible because it █
█ was too fucked up. Nobody knew who the leaders were and we didn't █
█ even have a site setup. However, I do NOT hold any grudges at ANY █
█ DiC members. █
█ █
█ Q : Why has dCS specialized in one area? Many new courier groups feel █
█ that being able to release games, utilities, consoles, code demos, █
█ and making art is good because it makes them versatile. █
█ █
█ A : Well we started out as couriers, and we are not dumb, so we are █
█ sticking with couriering... and COURiERiNG ONLY! █
█ █
█ Q : Is dCS official couriers for anyone? █
█ █
█ A : We are not official couriers for any groups right now, but we are █
█ negotiating with many groups and we do not want to be officials █
█ for a group unless they have proven themselves. We don't want to █
█ make any mistakes and rush into things because that's how groups █
█ die and we don't wanna do that. █
█ █
█ Q : What are the requirements to for new dCS members? █
█ █
█ A : Since dCS is a new group, we are taking more and more members each █
█ day. Once we get everything organized, we will be making possible █
█ cuts. Couriers must be able to courier at least 150+ megs per █
█ week. We are strictly 0-3 day, no exceptions! █
█ █
█ Q : What are your futrue plans for dCS? Will DCS ever split off to █
█ being a release group? █
█ █
█ A : My goal is to insure the survival of dCS. I plan on molding it █
█ into a very respectable group with good hard working members. █
█ As for releasing, I do not plan on releasing under dCS. █
█ █
█ Q : How do you plan to make dCS a great solid group? █
█ █
█ A : I make sure that all members are satisfied and if anyone needs █
█ anything, I always try to help. Dedication will help us in the █
█ long run and we know that it is the key to success. █

█ █
█ Q : Motiv8 is currently going through somewhat of a low point. I do █
█ however see you guys playing well in the release scene. What is █
█ that all about? █
█ █
█ A : Motiv8 has been known as a popular site and courier group, but it █
█ is boring to just courier so I wanted something new to do and █
█ decided releasing would be fun. We will release more and more as █
█ we are one of the oldest NET groups and we can crack. Many groups █
█ release software that must use cdemulator or fakecd. █
█ █
█ Q : Many feel that a courier group that also releases is spreading █
█ itself thin. Do you feel that is the case with Motiv8? █
█ █
█ A : That is correct, many of us concentrate on releasing instead of █
█ couriering. We don't concentrate so much yet as we still do both. █
█ █
█ Q : Isn't it better to do a single job well than to do two jobs in a █
█ mediocre fashion? Is Motiv8 a release group or a courier group? █
█ █
█ A : We are both since we have members that can do both things. I have █
█ been in the scene ever since the c64 days. Back in those days, █
█ groups had many jobs and people like doing more than one thing. █
█ █
█ Q : Surely it would be foolish to compare the c64 days to today, would █
█ you not agree? █
█ █
█ A : Many of the good leaders in the scene were around back in the c64 █
█ days, and use their knowledge from that scene to help the current █
█ scene. Remember that the c64 built the piracy scene of today. █
█ █
█ Q : Is it true that the PC scene started the competitive nature? █
█ █
█ A : Yes and no. The PC scene is definitely a branch of their own, but █
█ many of the ideas were brought about from other earlier scenes. █
█ █
█ Q : What will you do in order to get Motiv8 out of it's slump? █
█ █
█ A : I don't think Motiv8 is in a slump as only new people claim us █
█ dead. We all have our ups and downs. People must remember that █
█ many of the Motiv8ers have been in the scene for many years and █
█ they don't see the fun in the same way and therefore they are more █
█ lazy. We will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary very soon. █
█ █
█ Q : How long have you been in the scene, and could you give us █
█ specific examples of how the c64 scene helped Motiv8 grow? █
█ █
█ A : I have been in the scene for nearly 13 years and I have learned a █
█ lot about group leadership and quality. I know how to handle ugly █
█ situations like group wars. █
█ █
█ Q : Am I sensing a move of Motiv8 more into Releasing and less into █
█ Couriering? █
█ █
█ A : Motiv8 will do a lot more releasing in the future, but we will █
█ still courier because it's fun for a lot of the members. █
█ █
█ Q : How did you resolve group wars in the past? █
█ █
█ A : I killed 2 groups back in the c64 time! One begged for peace and █
█ we split the other one to pieces. The rest died in a week so it █
█ wasn't really a war, just a skirmish. █
█ █
█ Q : What are your group killing tactics? █
█ █
█ A : We killed the group X-Factor by blocking their phone lines and we █
█ threatened them with shit. The rest just cried for peace. █
█ █
█ Q : How did you block phone lines? █
█ █
█ A : At that time, we had friends in the telephone companies and also █
█ we could also use an AT&T Card and then just let the phone hang. █

█ Q : NFS has been doing great the past week by releasing software that █
█ has helped the scene continually grow. What has caused such a █
█ drastic improvement in NFS? █
█ █
█ A : We thank all our suppliers for helping us krank out more and more. █
█ █
█ Q : Is it true that one of your game suppliers were kicked out of NFS █
█ because they helped supply utils for Outkast? █
█ █
█ A : That is not true, we do not have any members who are in Outkast. █
█ We have asked them to merge, but have been unsuccessful. We have █
█ not kicked anyone out besides the people who decided to join SNC, █
█ Syndicate. █
█ █
█ Q : NFS has been putting out a lot of good software. However, many of █
█ them turned out to be "dupes". For example, SoftRam 96 released █
█ this week was actually just SoftRam 95. What caused such a big █
█ blunder, and how will you prevent such blunders in the future? █
█ █
█ A : Well, tKLP told us that he too had SoftRam 96, and that NFS should █
█ hurry up and release it so we could beat his group, RoR. I later █
█ found out that he set the whole thing up to screw NFS. We trusted █
█ him and paid the price. █
█ █
█ Q : Why would a respected person such as tKLP do such a lame thing as █
█ sabotaging another group? █
█ █
█ A : tKLP did it because he thinks he is all that + more, but he is █
█ really just an asshole. He's already got a really bad reputation. █
█ █
█ Q : What will tKLP gain out of hurting NFS? █
█ █
█ A : He has always acted like an asshole, and he even applied to NFS to █
█ be our U.S. Headquarters. We never let him in the group, which █
█ was *good* in the long run. █
█ █
█ Q : Do you feel that NFS will continue to grow in the future? If so, █
█ what are your future plans for NFS? █
█ █
█ A : I plan to make NFS rock solid, sort of like Razor, and to stay in █
█ the scene for a long time while having fun releasing a lot. █
█ █
█ Q : Since you want NFS to be like Razor, and Razor is a games group, █
█ will NFS ever specialize in games only? █
█ █
█ A : Yes, very soon, we have had offers from Demolition to become their █
█ sister games group and we are merging with PSH right now. █

█ █
█ Q : Were you kicked out of fATE last week, or did you willingly leave █
█ the group? █
█ █
█ A : I told Anti Derivative 4 days ago that I was no longer in fATE and █
█ I thought he understood that. █
█ █
█ Q : Why did you tell him you were no longer in fATE? █
█ █
█ A : For many reason, Anti Derivative and g0d were never online to take █
█ care of any problems. Leodlion is one of the most childish people █
█ I know on the NET. There were also too many people in fATE that █
█ did nothing for the group. I also did not like how everytime █
█ there was a problem, they would just kick you out of the channel █
█ and not allow you to defend yourself. █
█ █
█ Q : If Anti Derivative and g0d were not online to take care of their █
█ many problems, then who did? How is fATE still alive? █
█ █
█ A : In theory, the other seniors did, but that was one of the main █
█ problems, not much of things were taken care of. █
█ █
█ Q : Why do you think that Leodlion is childish? He is a married adult █
█ with kids. █
█ █
█ A : His attitude is a real turn off. He treats people with little or █
█ no respect. Whenever he disagrees with someone, instead of █
█ speaking to them rationaly or allowing the other side to defend █
█ themselves, he would just kick them out of the channel. He has █
█ done a lot against me. When I was still in fATE, whenever he █
█ realized that I was correct, he would never admit that he was █
█ wrong, but he woudl simply ban me. I felt that as long as I was █
█ in fATE, I should never be taken off the bots, much less banned █
█ from them. That is just one example of his many childish ways. █
█ He did not like the fact that when I was questioned, that I would █
█ defend myself and in turn, question his actions. █
█ █
█ Q : What did you state? █
█ █
█ A : Well, I am a very good "Warez Encyclopedia". I know all the files █
█ that have been released. A Demolition senior came and asked me █
█ if "Such and such a program" was already released. I knew that it █
█ was not out yet, but then Leodlion decided to join the █
█ conversation. He started ordering me to log off the Net and call █
█ Park Central to dupe check. The Demolition senior saw no need for █
█ it. I believe that Leodlion is bad for the group; Anti Derivative █
█ is not too good either if he cannot take care of his own duties. █
█ g0d is fairly stupid also, he tries and takes over #MALiCE a few █
█ days ago, and in turn, that irritates MALiCE and then they take █
█ over #Fatefiles. █

█ Chris Eden, known on the NET as Spyder-X, passed away on the night of █
█ December 26, 1995. Many of us on the NET did not hear about his passing █
█ until a few days ago. For those of us who knew him, it will be hard to █
█ see him go. He was a great coder, but above all, a loyal friend. I can █
█ only recall that not too long ago, he helped me code an application █
█ generator for my group, FSW. He helped me with C++ here, and scripts █
█ there. He was a part of the scene, and he is sincerely missed by many. █
█ He was one of the best coders around, proving himself to be versatile in █
█ many languages. █
█ █
█ I would like to dedicate this issue of RCN in memory of Spyder-X. █
█ The RCN Staff has decided to grant an "Eden Award" every six months to █
█ individuals who prove to be incredibly valuable to the scene. The █
█ nominees for the award will be hand picked from among the best. On the █
█ last Sunday of each month, the RCN Staff will nominate a person into the █
█ individual for the "Eden Award", and every year, on June and December, █

█ █
█ REDMOND, WASHINGTON, U.S.A, 1996 JAN 12 (NB) -- Microsoft Corp. █
█ (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Novell Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVL) have announced what may be █
█ the largest settlement ever in a software piracy case. The two software █
█ giants said they have reached a settlement with Scott Morris, the █
█ operator of the computer bulletin board known as the Assassin's Guild █
█ Bulletin Board Service. █
█ █
█ The deal calls for Morris to pay $70,300 in cash and forfeit computer █
█ hardware valued at more than $40,000. Morris also reportedly agreed to █
█ assist Microsoft and Novell in their continuing BBS investigations. █
█ █
█ The Lexington, Kentucky-based Assassin's Guild promoted itself as the █
█ worldwide headquarters for two large software pirate groups, Pirates █
█ with an Attitude and Razor 1911. █
█ █
█ In April 1995 Newsbytes reported that US Marshals and investigators for █
█ Microsoft and Novell had raided Morris' residence, charging him with █
█ illegal reproduction and distribution of copyrighted software. Law █
█ enforcement officials said the Assassin's Guild had been offering █
█ hundreds of pirated software products for downloading at no charge, █
█ including programs published by Microsoft and Novell. █
█ █
█ US Marshals seized 13 computers, 11 modems, a satellite dish, nine █
█ gigabytes of online data and more than 40 gigabytes of offline data █
█ dating back to 1992, according to Microsoft. █
█ █
█ Jim Lowe, Microsoft corporate attorney, said online piracy is a growing █
█ concern for software publishers. Microsoft has often announced it is █
█ committed to put a crimp in pirate operations. █
█ █
█ Both Microsoft and Novell are members of the Business Software Alliance █
█ (BSA), an industry alliance formed to promote the growth of the software █
█ industry through education and enforcement initiatives. According to █
█ Bob Kruger, director of enforcement at BSA, the Assassin's Guild █
█ settlement sends a strong message to pirates. "It sends a clear message █
█ to operators of bulletin boards who are illegally distributing █
█ copyright-protected software that they will be investigated and sued, or █
█ criminally prosecuted." █
█ █
█ Following the raid BSA spokesperson Kim Willard told Newsbytes the █
█ pirated software on the Assassin's Guild computers included Microsoft █
█ Windows, Novell Netware, Wordperfect word processor software and █
█ numerous games and utilities. █
█ █
█ Before the settlement was reached Morris faced potential penalties that █
█ included up to $100,000 in fines and up to five years in jail if █
█ convicted. █
█ █
█ In 1994, the last year for which complete figures are available, an █
█ estimated $15.2 billion in revenue was lost by the software publishing █
█ industry as a result of software piracy, according to the BSA. The █
█ organization estimates that in the US alone 35 percent of the business █
█ software in use is pirated, resulting in almost $3 billion in losses to █
█ the industry. Loss figures refer to the retail value of the pirated █
█ software if it were purchased legitimately. █
█ █
█ The BSA maintains a toll-free hotline to report suspected software █
█ piracy and also has an e-mail address for that purpose. The group can █
█ be contacted at 800-688-2721 or software@bsa.org. █
█ █
█ Microsoft and Novell also maintain hotlines and e-mail addresses for █
█ users with questions about the legitimacy of those company's products. █
█ The Microsoft number is 800-786-3448 or you can send e-mail to █
█ piracy@microsoft.com. Inquiries to Novell go to 800-747-2837 or █
█ pirates@novell.com. █

█ The Business Software Alliance (BSA) claims that $15.2 billion in █
█ revenue was lost by the software publishing industry as a result of █
█ software piracy. BSA should stand for Bull Shitting Alliance, not only █
█ are those figures outrageous, but there is no possible way to derive an █
█ accurate numerical figure on how much was pirated. From my better █
█ judgement, and since I do know just a tad about piracy, I would like to █
█ say that 80% of pirated software is not even used. Of the 20% that is █
█ pirated, 99% would not have been bought anyways. For example, I █
█ downloaded "Hooves of Thunder" (when it was 0 day), and decided to try █
█ out the game. Not only did I feel the 22 disks was a complete waste of █
█ time, but I'm glad I did not shell out the $60 for some stupid ass horse █
█ betting game. If the Bull Shitting Alliance added $30-60 for every █
█ time I downloaded a game, then perhaps, $15.2 billion would seem rather █
█ small. I would probably be responsible for downloading a billion or two █
█ myself, but I have yet to extract, much less use, any of the software I █
█ download. █
█ █
█ I am ashamed to say this, but I have to admit, I buy software as █
█ much as I can afford. I only bought 2 programs, so don't start flaming █
█ me. I recently purchased Sim Tower and War Craft 2. Why did I buy Sim █
█ Tower? First off, it was first pirated by Genesis sometime last year, █
█ that means that it is OLD, and I don't know where to get OLD warez; and █
█ since the game was highly complicated, a manual was a necessity for real █
█ game play. I downloaded War Craft 2, the beta version by Hybrid, and █
█ really enjoyed the game, so I decided to shell out the $59.99 and bought █
█ the game. There are many games and utilities that I would like to buy, █
█ if I only had the money. █

█ █
█ It's been a year since I gasped at a file listing full of pirated █
█ software; a year since I sat in front of my computer waiting hours on █
█ end for the line to free up so I could connect and see what it was all █
█ about; a year since I flagged my first download just to find that I █
█ didn't have enough of this awkward word they called "credits," something █
█ I needed to have before I could download some hard core K-rad WaReZ. █
█ It's been a year since I logged onto my first warez BBS. I thought I █
█ was the coolest person around, I had access to over 100 megs of software █
█ that could have cost me a lot of money! Aah, yes, those were the lamer █
█ days, the days of confusion. I remember looking through the main menu, █
█ not knowing what half the options did, but noticeing something to the █
█ nature of "Other BBS #s." I quickly looked through the list, jotted █
█ down all the numbers, and said to myself "WOW!! All these boards, I can █
█ get ANYTHING now!" I then traveled over to the boards on my list, █
█ having given up because of that stupid "credits" message that I didn't █
█ know what to do about. █
█ █
█ A first try at success: █
█ █
█ ATDT2853256... CONNECT 2400... LOGIN: <NEW>... I made my way through █
█ the login procedure, entered my real address, being I wasn't too bright, █
█ my real phone number, surely the sysop would want to voice validate me, █
█ and then I was presented with a new screen. It asked me to define █
█ acronyms. Hmm... RiSC: <SIMPLE!>.. "Reduced Instruction Set Computing" █
█ PWA.. hmm... "Dunno" FSW "Dunno" ACiD "Dunno" NAFTA "North American █
█ Free Trade Agreement..." The list continued, filled mostly with "Dunno" █
█ and other ignorant responses. I was confused when the next day I █
█ logged on and was presented with yet another new screen, saying to the █
█ liking of "Get the fuck off my board, lamah." Sheesh, how vulgar! █
█ █
█ I got lucky, I knew something about the Internet, and found out █
█ about a "WaReZ Site." I tried it, and it was amazing, I didn't find █
█ any of that weird "credits" word, and leeched all I wanted (meaning █
█ everything). I saw some site lists, got them, and it said to send in █
█ some sites for more in return. Of course, like any other idiot, I █
█ sent in some fake sites, just threw in some numbers that looked good. █
█ Most of the lists told me to "Get the fuck off my list, lamah," but █
█ there were always the dumb ones that sent me something back. I would █
█ anxiously try to connect to every site, most didn't work, and half the █
█ ones that did work had directories too hard for me to change to. I █
█ would be left with about 3 working sites after the rest were sifted out. █
█ █
█ Take two - A first try at success: █
█ █
█ Not a month later, I got a friend of mine with all too much time on █
█ his hands to start downloading all the software, and I started a BBS on █
█ a brand new $45 Zoltrix no error-correcting or compression 14.4 modem. █
█ My friend would upload all the warez that he would get, and the users █
█ would download them, free of charge, none of that "credits" bull shit. █
█ I learned a lot from that little BBS, that soon became one of the █
█ biggest boards in my area, biggest single-node board, that is. I found █
█ out that there were some really nice people that would release software █
█ for boards like mine. Well sure they were nice, you would have to be a █
█ really nice person to just spend time sending out software to people! █
█ I decided to make a group of my own, Brutus and I, to release some █
█ software, kind of help the cause a bit. Not aware of anything like dupe █
█ checking, we just released what we got, most of the stuff was from years █
█ before, but we took our coder, Xenon, he coded a nice little EXE for us, █
█ and we were off. Our first release was Telemate 4.20, cracked, which █
█ I'll point out we released BEFORE any other group, but it made it no █
█ farther than my own area code. Still, Tsunami, from the late FSW, █
█ called Brutus and I up, and asked us to merge into his group. This was █
█ where it all began... █
█ █
█ A look to the bright side: █
█ █
█ Surely we merged, we nearly peed in our pants when we got the offer! █
█ I wouldn't say I was lame back then, more ignorant than lame, perhaps █
█ unaware would be the best word, but I'll call it lame for now, because █
█ I think I was an example of your average "lamer" from today. I didn't █
█ really know about groups, I didn't totally know what they did, I had █
█ yet to get on any boards with more than one line, and all I knew about █
█ the 'net was that it had FTP sites, I had once tried IRC, I tried to █
█ join #warez, but couldn't get in because it was Invite Only, so I just █
█ gave up. When I got into FSW, Tsunami introduced me to IRC, I learned █
█ a bit about how to use it, and I was off. Of course I assumed that I █
█ could get into any group now, I was coo like dat, da pimp o' da █
█ neighbawhood, I could do ANYTHING! My position in FSW wasn't really █
█ stated yet, I assumed that I would try to get FSW releases, though. I █
█ think Tsunami must have seen that I could lead a group well, something █
█ like that, because I was about as confused as, well, a lamer. I found █
█ out that groups actually had channels of their own, they didn't all just █
█ hang out in #warez, so I joined #Any_group_I_Could_Think_Of. █
█ █
█ I soon found out that #warez5 and #warez7 were often open to the █
█ public. I joined the channels just to find a bunch of people begging █
█ for new software, nobody really getting what they want, half of them █
█ getting kicked out by people that seemed to think hey were better than █
█ them, nobody really getting anything done. Tsunami once found me in one █
█ of these channels and told me why I shouldn't hang there, how I would █
█ never get anything through them. I took his advice, thank goodness. █
█ █
█ I remember applying to fATE, ZillionZ, PWA, and RTS, not that I knew █
█ what I was applying as, not that I really cared. In fact, I didn't even █
█ know what the difference was between a Courier group and a Release █
█ group! When asked what I was applying as, I just said, "Uhh, I guess a █
█ distro BBS..." "How many nodes do you have?" "uhhh... 1, but I hope to █
█ get a second one within a month, I really do!" Then I wondered why I █
█ got kicked out only a few moments later. Tsunami knocked some sense █
█ into me, taught me exactly how a group ran, what the differences were █
█ between groups, and all the tricks of the trade. I was soon an FSW █
█ senior, FSW died, we started Vendetta, I was the vice president, and █
█ am now in Legacy as a vice president. All this started from one small █
█ FTP site that didn't push much more than about 5kb/s. █
█ █
█ A look back... █
█ █
█ Today, as I join #Warez5, just to think back on old times, I am █
█ amazed to see many of the same people I saw there about 9 months ago, █
█ still doing what they did then, still getting the same results. I just █
█ don't understand. Maybe it's my competitive spirit, maybe it's my need █
█ for improvement, but it took me no more than 5 months to get from a █
█ nobody in the scene to somebody who, in my humble opinion, is doing █
█ quite well from himself. How could these people, who I'm sure have been █
█ hanging out in the warez channels for longer than I can imagine, stay █
█ there, never improving their status, always staying the same? █
█ █
█ Given the existence of this highly competitive spirit in the scene, █
█ if you ever want to get on any of the bigger boards (i.e. the boards █
█ that actually have all 20 disks of a 20 disk release) you must give in. █
█ Maybe the scene isn't totally free. Maybe it just requires payment in █
█ the form of desire to help. I'm sure there are many of us that are in █
█ the scene so that when there's a program that we need coming out, we can █
█ get it, instead of having to shell out a ton of money in buying it. I'm █
█ quite happy with such people, and don't look down at them one bit. It █
█ happens to be that I'm involved in this business to have fun and █
█ compete, where they are in it for the software itself. However, if one █
█ wants to be in just to get software, he'll have to put out just a bit. █
█ Perhaps on a weekend when he has extra time, wait for a group to release █
█ and download the release right away, then send it to the board you want █
█ to download from. All it involves is a bit of dedication. █
█ █
█ The easiest road to success in the scene is joining a group. You █
█ might not feel like you're good enough to join the top groups, but there █
█ is a wealth of smaller groups ready to accept new applicants. Just █
█ don't expect to quit the smaller group for a bigger one once you've █
█ gotten more experience. If you join a group, you should be dedicated to █
█ it as it should be to you. The only excuse ever to leave a group is if █
█ the group dies, you strongly disagree with the values of the group and █
█ talking with the staff doesn't fix anything, or if the group merges █
█ into another. You should spend as much time choosing your group as they █
█ should evaluating you for a position. Just remember, this is all for █
█ fun, we're not in here to make money, or to fill egos. █
█ █
█ For those of us that aren't in it for the software or the █
█ competition, I often wonder why we stay. What's the point of staying in █
█ the scene if all you do all day is beg, beg, and beg some more, never █
█ getting any of what you ask for. The scene is one big cycle. The █
█ leaders of today may retire tomorrow. The members of yesterday will █
█ lead today, and the "lamers" of last night will take the place of the █
█ members today. I could never stay a lamer forever. The only thing that █
█ I fear is that our "lamers" aren't really lame, just uneducated, and █
█ they don't know HOW to excel in the scene. We all must start somewhere. █
█ Some of us, like myself, got lucky, and had an early chance, but for █
█ the group leaders out there, beware, the last person you kicked out of █
█ your channel for having a 1-node board might possibly be your █
█ competition's next store supplier or multi-node courier. █

█ Greetings RCN readers! Tis me, Trite, back again here in RCN #10 with my █
█ courier group review for 1996! █
█ █
█ This issue I will be rating Courier groups. Couriers play perhaps █
█ one of the most vital roles in the scene, yet they are probably the █
█ least regarded. Without couriers to spread our warez across the world █
█ with great speed, possibly there would be no 'scene' as we know it. █

█ The first courier group I will be commenting on is RiSC (Rise in █
█ Superior Couriering), exactly what they are, superior. RiSC has had the █
█ most superb courier team since the very beginning. They display their █
█ unparallelled ability to the scene on a daily basis. I have personally █
█ witnessed the amazing speed and gumption of a RiSC trader while leeching █
█ <grin> off of a RiSC distro site named "The Shallow Grave." At the █
█ time, the SysOps of this blazing 4 node board were Lord Rook and Gate █
█ Keeper. I first came to this BBS on a recommendation from a friend. █
█ When I got on this board I was truly amazed at the size and speed of it. █
█ Supplied by RiSC trader 'The Technomancer,' this was the fastest site I █
█ had ever been on. In the two months I was on this board, Techno had █
█ pumped in over 2.4 gigs of fast warez. I had a chance to talk to Techno █
█ a few times and he explained that being in a group like RiSC, almost █
█ demanded that he be the best, whether relying on personal ambition or █
█ not, Techno defined RiSC, to me, as the best couriering group in the █
█ world! █
█ █
█ Now let me rate RiSC. Although they definately do their job and do █
█ it very well, they are hard to find. In my 'career' on the net and in █
█ the PC scene, I have never heard of or seen a RiSC site, or a dedicated █
█ channel on IRC. This, to me, means they have a mail recruit system █
█ which, as I've expressed in the past, is not a good way to get in touch █
█ with the majority of warez people. I do realize that most RiSC members █
█ are in PWA and DOD, but I am sure that a lot of others don't know this █
█ and have no idea how to apply. So, my rating for RiSC is a 9.5. A █
█ better recruiting system would benefit the group as a whole and the █
█ boards they supply. █

█ The next group I will be rating is fATE. fATE is the product of two █
█ groups that merged about a year ago: TiC and iLA. I was a member of TiC █
█ at the time of the merger, formerly known as Vendetta. TiC was headed █
█ at the time by Red Dog, an outstanding leader with tremendous couriering █
█ ability. Since the merger, Red Dog has moved from Senior to net courier █
█ and now to nothing. He left fATE around Christmas of 1995 (I am told) █
█ for reasons unknown to me. This I feel is one of fATE's major problems. █
█ They seem to have lost their sense of direction and organization. This █
█ being sparked by Red Dog's departure from fATE and his diminishing █
█ contribution to fATE. I am not blaming all of fATE's problems on Red █
█ Dog, in fact just the opposite. Red Dog was an awesome leader. █
█ █
█ Despite all of fATE's problems with organization and the power █
█ struggles within fATE, they have assembled one of the best teams on the █
█ net today. They keep their sites full, and continually keep other █
█ courier groups on their toes. They have out-tagged other courier groups █
█ 3 to 1 on the net, and are doing great in that department. So, my █
█ rating for fATE is a 7.5. Overcome all the organization and power █
█ problems and you'll have a great team! █

█ RTS in its earlier days was a feirce competitor of RiSC. RTS was █
█ one of the top courier gropus around, with lightning-fast traders and a █
█ superb council that certainly gave direction to the group. Around early █
█ 1995, RTS was said to have died, as a mutual decision between senior █
█ members of RTS. Since mid to late 1995, RTS had once again emerged in █
█ the scene with a great internet staff as well as telecom staff. The old █
█ days of RTS are h ere again, and kicking ass! █
█ █
█ RTS, as I said before, has assembled a great couriering team. With █
█ couriers from well established groups such as MALiCE, RiSC, and others. █

█ Mindcrash has had a year to show its stuff to date, picking up █
█ Legacy as their official coueriers, and having a second wind so to █
█ speak, in the scene. MC has worked hard at their job, and has earned █
█ the respect of top courier groups. █
█ █
█ When MC first began, it was a small couriering group with little █
█ known presence and very few affiliations. MC has had a slow start in █
█ the scene but is doing great! I've had the pleasure of watching their █
█ popularity grow as their NFO grows. I must admit, even I thought MC █
█ would fail in the early stages of its birth, but behind its strong █
█ leader, The Wicked One, it has emerged to be a great group. My rating █
█ for Mindcrash so far is 7.8. They have a great team, with great █
█ leadership and support, they just need to work on their speed and █
█ 'presence.' █

█ My last review will be of MALiCE. MALiCE is one of the strongest █
█ groups in the scene right now, with some of the fastest traders ever, █
█ such as Winterhawk, and 187. MALiCE has been compared to the early days █
█ of RiSC, and is said to have one of the best couriering team ever █
█ assembled. The sheer determination and efficiency of this group has █
█ pushed them to the top, and their popularity grows almost on a daily █
█ basis. █
█ █
█ MALiCE has had a great year so far and is continuing to dominate the █
█ couriering scene among the newest releasers and traders. What I mean by █
█ new is the newly established groups, such as Legacy, Motiv8, and others. █
█ MALiCE doesn't seem to respect other groups, or potential applicants █
█ that much, though. When I entered their channel on an invite, I was █
█ abruptly kicked by Pericles with the reason "And you are...," this █
█ shows me that their rise to startum and dominance over other groups has █
█ gone directly to their heads. In my opinion, this is not a good way to █
█ handle people who are interested in the group. I just don't think they █
█ have respect for people, which is a major problem when recruiting. So, █
█ my rating for MALiCE is a 7. They have great couriering ability, but █
█ lack respect and patience, which, as proven in the past, can be █
█ disasterous. █

█ █
█ To recap, RiSC has accomplished everything possible, nothing less. █
█ fATE has the potential to rank with the best, they just need to plant █
█ their feet on the groupd, and hold on. RTS is a great group with █
█ tremendous will and awareness towards the scene, hang in there guys! █
█ Mindcrash is slowly rising to the top with great leadership and a well █

█ scene today, they just need to get over themselves. █

█ When a dupe occurs, the group usually gets put down and often █
█ often receives a lot of flak from the public even if the release was a █
█ mistake. Groups that purposely go out of their way to dupe should go █
█ down because they don't deserve to be in the scene. However, if it's a █
█ new group and they do they're own release or rip and didn't know it had █
█ already been released than that's ok it's a mistake and in most cases █
█ the public just gets another chance to get a cool file. As long as the █
█ the group that duped acknowledges their mistake and gives the credit of █
█ the release to the original group, then the group that duped should be █
█ left alone. █
█ █
█ Take for example Domination In Couriering who just duped Legacy. It █
█ was a mistake on our part because we did not know that Legacy already █
█ released a 4 disk rip of CivNet (which still includes the modem play). █
█ I didn't find out about it until 45 minutes after I started offering the █
█ files. We thought we were bettering the scene and we were. The file █
█ was leeched over 250 times. I apologized to individual members of █
█ Legacy and to the whole group. Legacy was quick to forgive us, and █
█ here's a quote from Rebel Chicken in a private conversation we had the █
█ day of the dupe : █
█ █
█ "For all I care, DiC helped the scene. There were a lot of people who █
█ were looking for the 4 disk rip from Legacy, so DiC helped put it back █
█ in circulation. Duping is not good, but it's not THAT BAD either. As █
█ long as you give credit to the original group that released it, then it █
█ is fine with me. I don't see why everyone is going out of their way to █
█ diss DiC." █
█ █
█ If and when a group accidentily dupes don't be so harsh and critical █
█ of them just tell them of their mistake and they'll do just like I did █
█ apologize and acknowledge their error and everyone can move on to more █
█ important stuff, like the next release. If the file that was duped was █
█ popular with the public anyways, then over all that release helped make █
█ a lot of people happy. People who play the game wouldn't really care if █
█ it came from Legacy or DiC, and both versions helped the scene over all. █
█ █
█ In closing, DiC apologizes to any bbs couriers who were nuked for █
█ uploading a dupe. We made a mistake and if it got you nuked off a big █
█ board we are very sorry. Please tell us if we can help you regain your █
█ credits or account. █

█ leeching off the government of the United States. From my sources, a █
█ Razor member and friend, I have confirmed that at least one of the █
█ Hybrid leaders are leeching off of the Canadian welfare system, NOT the █
█ American government. So all that stuff I said about Bob Dole and Newt █
█ Gingrich turned out to be irrelevant. █
█ █
█ Again, this is all circumstantial and I only have the word of one █
█ person. Even though that person is very trustworthy and reliable, █
█ errors can happen. All I can say is that, if the Hybrid leaders really █
█ are on welfare, they're doing a damn good job of it. █

█ First of all, Darkside left MALiCE, and joined RiSC, supposedly █
█ because of access to LA. The story for Darkside is cut and dry. I █
█ wouldn't call him a traitor or hate him. When we join groups it is a █
█ voluntary thing and we don't pledge our lives or loyalty to one group. █
█ It is kind of like jobs, when you find a better job, you quit your █

█ █
█ According to sources, Winterhawk wanted to get a list of IP's from █
█ HR (net coord for MALiCE), but he refused to give them to Winterhawk. █
█ Winterhawk wanted the IP #'s so that she can add them to some site and █
█ help Manhunter set-up accounts for people on sites. Whatever dialog █
█ actually occured between HR and Winterhawk is unknown, but Winterhawk █
█ compared HR to a Hitler/dictator. She believed that HR wanted complete █
█ Is, who gets added and so on, and didn't want to share his job or have █
█ any help from her. At this point HR, already being on a brink of █
█ leaving, decided that he had enough and decided to leave. I would like █
█ to repeat : HR was ALREADY tired of the way things were working out for █
█ him in MALiCE and Winterhawk was just a minute reason to leave. █
█ █
█ I would like to say that none of the parties should be blamed for █
█ anything. Winterhawk is more than happy to have HR back in MALiCE, and █
█ HR is NOT joining another group, and MAY get back to MALiCE after he █
█ calms down or there are some changes in MALiCE. █

█ █
█ I have been complaining about the rise of too many groups for weeks █
█ now. The problem isn't as big any more, probably partially due to the █
█ fact that there are less releases now that the year has ended. I have █
█ seen more and more couriering groups as opposed to release groups, which █
█ I will blame on the fact that it is often harder to coordinate a release █
█ group because there is more to worry about. Note that that in no way █
█ applies to the top couriering groups, who I'm sure have more work on █
█ their hands than release groups. I think that in general, though the █
█ main reason for having so many new groups flourish is that people aren't █
█ satisfied with their current position in a group, or, more specifically, █
█ aren't getting the respect that they expect when they are a part of a █
█ team. So I ask... "What should it feel like to be a member of a █
█ group?" █
█ █
█ When a member applies, he is usually greeted by a not-so-friendly █
█ crowd that somehow feels bigger than him. This is all egos, and I don't █
█ expect that to end, because after all, we're all human. The applicant █
█ will often spend in the range of thirty to sixty minutes waiting to get █
█ the application generator or just a flat out "no" response. If the █
█ applicant was lucky enough to experience the first, he'll promptly fill █
█ out the application and look for someone to send it to. As soon as that █
█ application is sent in, the prospective member has literally signed a █
█ pact saying that he will be dedicated to the specific group. This is █
█ what many group leaders never seem to understand, and is the point where █
█ the member will either serve the group, always feeling lowly, or will █
█ join, feel big for a bit, then run off and make his own group because █
█ he wasn't getting the respect he felt he deserved. █
█ █
█ I'm surprised that I have to say this, but a member is the most █
█ crucial thing to a group. The leadership often doesn't understand that, █
█ and assumes the member to be a slave that must complete his task for █
█ fear of being flogged. A member should have much say in the group. The █
█ only difference between a senior and a member should be that a senior is █
█ there to coordinate, as opposed to a member which is there to provide. █
█ Two completely different jobs, neither of which should take an excessive █
█ precedence over the other. A senior position, if the particular group █
█ even has one, is just a position given to somebody that would like to █
█ coordinate that has much experience in the group, possibly been with it █
█ from the start. What's even worse is when there's a group that has not █
█ just a council, but a Founder, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Seniors, █
█ Head Honchos, Division Honchos, and THEN members, assuming there's █
█ anybody left. I don't know about you, but being a member in that kind █
█ of group wouldn't feel too good. That leads me to believe that it is █
█ often better to be a member in a "normal" group than to be a senior in █
█ one with such a variety of positions. █
█ █
█ A member is a vital person in a group. Members need to get more █
█ respect in the scene, and begin to have a greater say in the activities █
█ of the group. We are often confused when we see members leave groups, █
█ and we assume that the member just wasn't dedicated, but this is often █
█ not the case. To all leaders : put yourselves in the position of a █
█ member sometimes, and think to yourself "If I were this guy, would I be █
█ getting the respect that I need? Would I have any power in what goes on █
█ in the group that I have dedicated myself to?" If either of your █
█ answers is no, it's time to make some changes in the structure of your █
█ group. █

█ █
█ I have noticed a certain trend in the scene lately. It is a trend █
█ that is not beneficial for anyone. Stealing members. Now, competition █
█ is good, but this is not. We all know who it is that is on the constant █
█ lookout for suppliers and couriers to steal. In #Legacy, we are always █
█ on the lookout for tKLP. Why? Because everyone knows that the instant █
█ they enter the channel, they will be looking for the best suppliers and █
█ becoming their "Friends." For most of us, these attempts are totally █
█ obvious, but for some of us, we fall into the trap and end up in a █
█ different group. █
█ █
█ I was in #Legacy, minding my own business, when all of a sudden, █
█ tKLP was messaging me saying "Zup Buddy!?" I thought to myslef: "Have I █
█ talked to him before? He's being awful friendly..." Knowing that he █
█ was probably going to ask me to leave Legacy, I played along. He said █
█ "I've heard you're a pretty impressive supplier." And I said "Sure, I █
█ guess so. I supply for Legacy a lot." The next message I received read █
█ as follows: "Could I interest you in a RoR membership?" My answer was a █
█ simple "No." I fear that others, possibly from other groups, will have █
█ a different answer. Unfortunately, if tKLP is the one that's asking, █
█ they'll end up in a group they'd probably rather not be in. █
█ █
█ Everyone knows that this is not the first time tKLP has done this. █
█ It didn't hurt anyone this time, because there's no way in hell that I'd █
█ join RoR. The point is, if your group is not good enough to compete, █
█ don't go stealing other group's suppliers. It's bad sportsmanship, and █
█ it's bad public relations. █

█ Dear Entropy, █
█ █
█ I am very disappointed in you Entropy. When I get ops in #Ansi, I █
█ feel that I have a job to do. I kick and ban people that I feel are █
█ lame. It doesn't mean that I feel all powerful, it just means that I █
█ have a job to do, and that involves kicking out lamers. Ops is NOT █
█ simply a bunch of pixels as you put it. You can compare Ops to IRCOPs, █
█ it's not just a bunch of pixels either, it gives you power, and I choose █
█ to exercise that power in a legitimate way. If that makes me look like █
█ a pompous ass, then so be it. █

█ Dear Copernicus, █
█ █
█ I was not reffering to people that use their "ops" for helping the █

█ friends. People who use it to help other are fine, that is what the ops █
█ are meant for, to keep out the people who would like to make it their █
█ job in life to ruin the fun that others would like to have IRC, or █
█ whatever while you are on IRC =) █

█ Dear Dragon Warrior, █
█ █
█ Now why weren't you around when I was writing the column on sysop █
█ powers. Being able to lock out this user or that user for any reason █
█ is mostly likely used to suit your own ego. Being able to choose who █
█ you want and who you don't want is a great power. Isn't that similar to █
█ the power of ops? █

█ Next Week's Topic : AOL on IRC █
█ █
█ Yes we all know by now that AOL has provided a link to the IRC for all █
█ of the AOL'ers to flock to our homes, for months on end, people have █
█ been stereotyping AOL as lame. If you looked at how many bans there are █
█ on aol.com, it is a pitiful sight. Are the bans necessary, are all AOL █
█ people lame? I say no. What is bad about people from another online █
█ service comeing to help spread our warez around and help us? Nothing. █
█ Are we trying to set back the IRC Civilization to that of the early 19th █
█ century of the US? Do we want to place a label on AOL and stereotype █
█ them all? If so, you're an "Idiot". AOL is a cheap and in most cases, █
█ free in all parts around the world. It reaches out to more people than █
█ IRC ever could. By letting AOL expand to IRC, the scene would only be █
█ reaching further heights of greatness because AOL has a lot of users to █
█ reach. Really, isn't that what we all want? To help people who are too █
█ new to help themselves and to spread the names Razor, Legacy, fATE, MC, █
█ and RiSC? I'm not saying that we should all start using AOL, but I'm █
█ saying that we should welcome them to what has been for years "our" █
█ world. █
