   the readers, noticed that the ways of RCN needed to be fixed and          
   upgraded.  In retrospect to earlier issues, RCN was still getting         
   bigger, but size isn't everything when it comes to an e-mag.  It was      
   becoming obvious that we were sacrificing quality for a bigger magazine.  
   Furthermore, the ethics of RCN also needed ramification, as inspired by   
   Rio & Ken's letter, and those of several other people.                    
                                                                             
       In trying to keep RCN's position as the #1 warez e-mag, the editors   
   have agreed upon several modifications that we think will please you,     
   the readers, today and in the future.  We believe that the set of pacts   
   we have agreed to will create a more harmonious relationship between RCN  
   and its readers, and make reading RCN a more enjoyable embarkment.  A     
   major difference that you will notice between this issue of RCN and       
   previous issues is that we no longer strive for 8 articles, and 8         
   interviews.  We all know that reading repeated interviews was getting     
   boring, and we all know that articles about mere fluff were never         
   interesting.  Obviously a person that doesn't read anything because he    
   hates to do so will never enjoy RCN, but people that do enjoy reading     
   were starting to get frustrated with the layout of the above sections.    
   So now, we will have a fluctuating number of articles and interviews,     
   with much greater scrutiny based on quality.  RCN's old philosophy was    
   based on giving everybody a voice, but if a person is educated enough to  
   form an opinion on any given topic, he should be educated enough to       
   write a well structured article to support his case.                      
                                                                             
       You will also find a new ADDITION to RCN in this issue.  I am         
   speaking of the "Cover Story" menu!  In previous issues, we have          
   included the cover story within either the articles or interviews menu.   
   Now, we will be spending a much greater amount of time on researching     
   and studying the week's cover story.  A cover story deserves more than    
   just an article or an interview, it deserves a complete assessment and    
   review, something that RCN will now be able to offer.  This week's cover  
   story is about the United Cracking Force, and you will find that the      
   menu contains over 3 times as much information as previous issues of RCN  
   did.                                                                      
                                                                             
       Another issue that readers were beginning to complain about in past   
   issues is that of RCN putting people down, and constantly "dissing" on    
   people in the scene.  It was becoming like a "soap opera," as some would  
   phrase it.  Though I find that as somewhat humorous, I don't find it the  
   least bit necessary, and this attitude will be done away with now and in  
   the future.  If a person messes up and does something that's not very     
   respectable in the scene, we will just stop reporting things that may     
   concern that person.  The lack of publicity will be punishment enough.    
   If a group messes up, it will only be covered if we feel that publicity   
   and information about the group could raise its potential to survive.     
   If a problem is more serious than that, it will not be RCN's position to  
   correct it, but rather the scene's as a whole.                            
                                                                             
       Now for meeting logs.  We were the first to use them, and they have   
   done a most amazing job of showing us who people REALLY are behind        
   "closed doors."  But enough of them now.  I will use GODS as an example   
   because it is a group that has since split up and probably won't mind a   
   bit of publication about them.  RCN obtained the first meeting log of     
   GODS when it was initially grouping.  This is something I would say is    
   NOT our position to publish.  It solely contained information about the   
   organization of the group, something that they are quite entitled to do.  
   However, the latter meeting log about GODS would be something I think we  
   should have the right to publish, for one important reason.  The latter   
   log effected people beyond just GODS members.  It contained information   
   that could hinder the rest of the scene, and that's not right.  So that   
   was something that people did deserve to see.  From now on, no meeting    
   logs will be published, even if they are just two people cussing each     
   other out, if they don't contain data that could severely hinder the      
   scene and outside members.                                                
                                                                             
       For example, and note that this is purely hypothetical, I have utter  
   respect for the groups I am about to name.  Let's say Hybrid had a        
   meeting about how they were really pissed off about the Dynamix           
   incident.  That would NOT be something that RCN could publish.  Hybrid    
   is quite entitled to talk amongst themselves.  However, if Hybrid were    
   talking about how Razor is really pissing them off and how they're about  
   to start a masterful plan to grab all the Razor suppliers, and let's say  
   that Razor didn't know about this, now THAT would be something RCN        
   should publish.  The distinction?  Hybrid would be crossing over the      
   "Hybrid" boundary and stepping over the feet of others.                   
                                                                             
       I would like to make an important clarification and apology to        
   several people/groups that deserved it a long time ago.  I would like to  
   apologize to the readers of RCN that have been in disagreement with us    
   in past times.  However, I use this as an example to you that we DO read  
   your mail and ARE interested in what you have to say.  Rio & Ken sent us  
   clear mail that explained his position with examples, and he was right,   
   and we were wrong, and now we're fixing our mistakes.  You can't expect   
   us to change, however, if you never send us any comments.                 
                                                                             
       Lastly, I would like to make an apology to Prestige and The Renegade  
   Chemist together.  Though the news is rather old, it is news that makes   
   a difference today, and makes a difference in the reputation of TRC, and  
   it deserves to be said.  A while back, RCN published information          
   regarding TRC and Dynamix, and his departure from Dynamix into Prestige.  
   However, we never really gave TRC a chance to explain his side of the     
   story by himself.  Since then, Prestige has placed a boycott on RCN,      
   viewable on their WWW page, which stated that they would not be granting  
   RCN any interviews.  Since their boycott, RCN DID get two interviews      
   with Prestige leaders, but despite that, we still want to clear our       
   grounds with Prestige as a whole.  So, I apologize to TRC for not giving  
   him the opportunity to fully express himself in the matters at hand, he   
   is a great help to the scene, he is an agressive person, but that's not   
   a negative thing in the scene.  Furthermore, I would like to extend that  
   apology to Prestige all together, and as a result, I have published       
   TRC's side of the matter in the articles menu.                            
                                                                             
       Again, you can always find Reality Check Network available on the     
   WWW at HTTP://WWW.RCN.ORG/INDEX.HTML, as well as find some of our         
   previous competition (though, unfortunately, none exists at the moment)   
   and perhaps compare and contrast.  And as a final note, a little word     
   about etiquette, purposefully placed at the END of the introduction.  I   
   don't mind if you don't want to read an entire article or interview, and  
   decide you've had enough in the middle, but if you're going to contact    
   us with a complaint, make sure you HAVE read the entire text before       
   doing so.  It doesn't look too impressive when you complain about         
   something and our response to your complaint was in the body of the text  
   all the while, but you were too lazy to find it.                          
                                                                             
       As always, thanks for reading RCN, and don't hesitate to contact us!

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       Basically, everyone knows that RCN rules so I'm not going to even     
   say it.  Alright, fine then, OK!, I will say it, RCN RULES! (Be a bitch   
   about it why don't you.)  Anyway, this letter is to comment on the way I  
   feel about THE scene, and to react to what people say about it.           
                                                                             
       Firstly, I want to talk about the couriers of the world.  Quite a     
   few years ago, when 14.4 modems were top of the line, BBS traders were    
   judged on the quality of warez that they spread, not HOW MUCH they        
   spread.  Now, with the introduction of the Internet SCENE a great         
   courier is someone that can move over a gig, or so, a week between a few  
   places.  That's all honky dory, but if it's something to help you learn   
   your A-B-C's, or something that doesn't install correctly, I honestly     
   DOUBT that it is useful to anyone in 'the scene.'                         
                                                                             
       A great courier is someone who has tested the warez which they are    
   spreading, know that they are quality, and starts the batch.  I know for  
   Internet couriers this is extremely hard since they hardly ever download  
   the program themselves, but for BBS traders it only takes a quick 10      
   minutes to see if it works before they pass it along.  Anyone, namely 10  
   year old little pricks, can go to bed and leave their computers on,       
   uploading all night... THAT takes no talent, and deserves NO respect.     
   You people might not realize this, but groups NEED their couriers.  They  
   need quality people to spread their lovely working game or util.  Now     
   think about it this way.                                                  
                                                                             
       Wouldn't a group LOVE to hire someone that they knew tested shit      
   before they spread it.  This would ENSURE the group not getting           
   embarassed if they happen to fuck up a release.  Also, if something       
   doesn't work people complaining, saying that the groups 'SUCKS', and      
   give them all the blame.  Well, my friends, that's BULLSHIT!  The people  
   who spread bad shit are as much at fault as the ones who packaged it.     
   The attitude of most traders right now is....... "Hmm... I should really  
   see if this works before I spend 14 hours uploading it... but what the    
   hell!  I wanna download that cool program so fuck it."  To all of you     
   who think/do that... I hope that the program you download was uploaded    
   by a prick like you.                                                      
                                                                             
       Secondly, although I can bullshit about the scene and its problems    
   for hours upon hours I would just like to touch on one more major issue.  
   In one of the previous magazines (I forgot which one) someone commented   
   on the BBS scene deteriorating while the Internet scene thrives.  In      
   most respects that's true.  BUT... look at it this way, a long time ago   
   when someone wanted respect in 'the scene' they either were a GREAT       
   coder, courier or sysop of a popular board.  So every little dumbfuck     
   would pick the one they thought was the best.  In this case I'll use the  
   BBS.  They would beg their parents for a phone line, put up a BBS, and    
   hope it would thrive.  Sucking up to the right people, while getting      
   help in the process, would sometimes make it prosper, in turn making      
   them popular.  Now, ok, I know I'm exagerating, but it gets better.       
   With the Internet here, groups are practically BEGGING for Internet       
   couriers, so these little losers put down their boards and go to a life   
   of Internet trading, usually changing their already stupid handle to      
   something stupidier in the process.  This, in my view, can only make the  
   BBS scene STRONGER.  Sure it'll mean there are fewer BBSes around,        
   but...it also is a method of 'trimming the fat'.. getting rid of the      
   people who are too weak or disloyal to stay in, and making the remaining  
   BBSers/BBSes the 'TRUE ELiTE!'.  Phew, glad I got that off my chest.      
                                                                             
       Last, I know I'm blabbering on, but hey.. you can always hit ESC.     
   Anyway, in another issue someone said that RCN magazine is making it      
   unsafe for the scene.  That is just stupid and moronic.  RCN is the       
   collection of articles of people who are on IRC and bullshit like that.   
   This means that basically RCN is a colorful snapspot of a night on IRC.

       You know, I was sitting at home the other night, reading RCN #19,     
   when something hit me.  "Chris Carter?!? Getting busted?!?!  Whoa, this   
   is real.  This is reality."  BLAM!  The reality train struck me right in  
   between the eyez.  But, here in mah sleepy town in Kentucky, you don't    
   hear of computer crime.  We had a bank hacked, but I seriously doubt      
   that that was local, I assumed it was some long distance phreaker, war    
   dailing through the 82 prefix.                                            
                                                                             
       But, then I read on.  The article said he was busted also.  Hmmm...   
   sounds like he wasn't so leet after all.  But, the article also said he   
   WAS in the scene pretty big when he went down.  Hmmm... sounds like he    
   got sloppy.  I mean, we all know the risk, we assume it every time we     
   type "mget *.*".  If you are under 18, you can mess your life up          
   something awful, and if you are older, the same can happen.  But we all   
   are risk takers.  We ARE the cyber pirates that all of the magazines      
   talk about.  We are all famous or infamous, depends on how you look at    
   it.                                                                       
                                                                             
       Back to my small town.  I was mowing, and thinking, you know, I have  
   some underage friends, whose parents are COPS and they are in big on      
   warez.  Hmmm... crooked cops?  Never... always.  In a small town,         
   corruption (big enough for NYC)?  I mean, my town was once voted the      
   easiest place to get away with a crime.  We have the HIGHEST unsolved     
   crime rate for a town our size.  So, shall I dare say I am at LESS of a   
   risk than the rest of my warez buds in Core?  I don't know.               
                                                                             
       Actually, I don't see any "World's Laws", which would have to be      
   made to police CyberSpace since you check the U.S. laws at the door, or   
   your respective countries, that say I can't do this or that.  I mean, I   
   may move stuff from Sweden to Japan, all from an account in Australia.    
   I was never in the U.S. this whole time, but I am tried if caught by US   
   computer laws.  Is this fair?  Well, to them "Big Blue" it is.            
                                                                             
       Anything that steals $45 dollars from someone that put a bunch of     
   1's and 0's in a pattern that made this alien splatter blood all over my  
   screen when I shot him with a M 16.  I mean, there is a chance <1 in 1    
   000 000 000> that I could randomly write binary that would replicate      
   this last scene from a well known 3D game.  I mean, who is the thief      
   here?  Us or them?  They charge $50 for a piece of plastic and some       
   magnetic tape, and I AM THE CRIMINAL for getting it for free?             
                                                                             
       Well, I won't run on too long, I just can't see where some of these   
   old fogey Congressmen get off saying what is right and wrong in           
   CyberSpace, when they can't point and click through a Wet Winbloez 95.    
   Well, I hope I get to write this every week or so, about my area warez    
   scene, or lack of, and my general opinion (I have one for everything) on  
   stuff in CyberSpace.

       Most Congressmen can't even tell an IBM clone apart from a            
   Macintosh.  Tell them the Mac is the one with an Apple on it and you're   
   fine until you say it in writing, I mean after all, Dan Quayle spells     
   potato with an "e" at the end.  However, they already deem themselves     
   knowledgable enough to make laws concering the Internet?  I don't think   
   so.  Congressmen might as well start making laws for other countries..

       Hi, my name is Eraser.  Most of you people don't know me, probably    
   because I changed my nick and I am not in any groups anymore.  I am       
   writing an article about what odogg^2 wrote about.  IRC ops and their     
   power.  Personally, I have talked to a couple IRC ops that were kewl,     
   but some are just assholes, because they can play god on IRC.  Prae,      
   kern.com's owner has been an IRC op for 15 years.  Don't ya think he      
   should find something else to do besides playing on IRC for 15 years?     
   Anyways, the other day I loaded LL (link looker), which is the best tool  
   op.  I had it loaded on kern.com, then it quit and I got klined.          
                                                                             
       5 minutes later, I was not klined anymore for some reason so I asked  
   Prae.  His response? "Link lookers are lame."  Well, I dont give a fuck   
   if they're lame!  It's all I got, you stupid faggot.  I don't invest my   
   life savings into fucking kern.com so I can play IRC ops with the other   
   big boys.  Like odogg^2 wrote, an IRC op has use for /kill, and he has    
   use for his 9 clones.  I have use for my clones and LL.  To this day,     
   Prae is still being a prick.  15 years of o-lines makes you a dipshit.    
   Too bad.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I'd like to set a few facts straight regarding Eraser's 'article'     
   about me in RCN issue 21.  First of all, I banned him from my server for  
   using LL, yes, because LL is against my policy.  There are other servers  
   which don't patrol for link lookers that I am sure he may happily use if  
   he insists on having his link looker.  I don't particularly care, but     
   I'm not changing my policiess for him or anybody.                         
                                                                             
       Secondly, I haven't been on IRC for 15 years, since there hasn't      
   BEEN IRC for 15 years.  I do not 'own' kern.com, nor have I poured a      
   dime into it; they pay *me* to do what I do.  I am sorry if the user in   
   question doesn't agree with my policies here, but that's just the way it  
   is, I suppose.  I don't think posting a bunch of blatantly false          
   information is liable to make him look any more 'right.'  I wonder if he  
   has any knowledge whatsoever about the people's whose servers and         
   services he so happily abuses.

   Dear Prae (Nick Leyendecker),                                             
                                                                             
       You need to rethink your position in IRC.  A football player can      
   boast that his job is a game (he can also boast that he's making a bit    
   more than you), but you don't have the privilege of doing so.  At least   
   you shouldn't.  At one point in your life you're going to have to admit   
   to yourself that you can't play on IRC for the rest of your life and      
   become a success.  I honestly don't know what leads to your immature      
   actions on IRC, perhaps it is an ego problem, perhaps you haven't enough  
   outside resources to please you, it's not my place to judge, but in all   
   seriousness, you need a psychiatrist to help you sort through the         
   complications of your life.                                               
                                                                             
       You need to take yourself more seriously and subsequently take more   
   responsibility for your actions, one cannot exist without the other, yet  
   the two coexist wonderfully.  In the mean time, until you find your       
   catcher in the rye, you cannot take the rest of your pains out on people  
   on IRC.  I'm sure you will tell me that you're not an ALL bad IRC op and  
   that you have helped a lot of people on IRC, but one bad apple ruins the  
   rest.  I don't doubt that there is a great human being behind that        
   facade, but you need to realize that for yourself.  Until this            
   realization has been made, control yourself, and remember that words are  
   just words, but /kills are even smaller than that.

       This is Eraser, and I'm writing a semi-rebuttal on IRC ops, because   
   of what I had written last week got so much chaos started.  I decided,    
   why not write another letter?  Anyways, this week's letter on IRC ops is  
   about why they piss me off, and the other shit about them.  First off,    
   I'm pissed that they all have their own domains :                         
                                                                             
       irc.stealth.net oper : residue@flakey.donut.residue.com               
       irc.mo.net oper : mouse@whiskers.com                                  
       irc.epix.net oper : dianora@diana.incacc.net                          
                                                                             
       Another thing I don't like, is the trouble trying to find an ALIVE    
   oper in times of trouble.  Now, they made channel #Twilight_Zone +i       
   which pisses me off.  They are hiding from us now, they don't want to     
   answer our questions or problems 90% of the time.  The best channel now   
   is #Unix, but you say the words "I need," "help" or something like that,  
   it's an auto-kick-ban.                                                    
                                                                             
       EFNet is also getting too tight on bots.  No multiple connections,    
   bots, anything anymore.  It is hard trying to keep a damn channel safe,   
   even if you have 1 bot, it will get klined or flooded, and if you have    
   20, those get klined still.  Anyways, someday we should all rebel, and    
   make the big guys who run EFNet actually notice what is going on.  :)

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       As an avid Internet courier myself, I know how succesful it can be.   
   However, others disagree.  IRC couriering is mostly couriering through    
   DCC.  People set up offer bots, place them in channels like #Exceed,      
   #M8leech and #Phatfiles, have them display lists of stuff their           
   offering, and people leech stuff.  This is one of the most efficient      
   ways of couriering and is also the easiest to measure success in.         
                                                                             
       In BBS and FTP couriering, you can usually only see how much someone  
   uploaded, you can't always see which files are the most popular, or how   
   many people leeched them.  With IRC couriering, your bot can tell you     
   exactly how many megs have been leeched and how many times people have    
   downloaded each file.  This allows IRC couriers to see what files are     
   the most popular and which to offer again.  With FTP and BBS couriering,  
   you could upload a gig of shit and you'd still get credit for uploading   
   it, even if no one downloaded it.  Another plus is the publicity the      
   group gets.  It's fairly simple to add a file at the end of an offer      
   list containing an app or an nfo, and groups gain lots of notariety that  
   way.                                                                      
                                                                             
       The downsides to it are the complexity of getting things together.    
   First, you have to find a shell with IRC, upload the stuff you want to    
   offer, then get an XDCC offer script (fphoenix.irc is known as the best   
   all-around and is the most popular), and then configure the offer list.   
   Also, people who run them will sometimes get messages from people who     
   are having problems.  I once had someone who said, "I can't download      
   this file because it keeps stopping and saying I'm not fast enough, but   
   I have a 14.4 modem!"  I politely explained the system of minimum speeds  
   (which I never set porpously more than 1K/s, unlike the fATE couriers     
   who have 3K/s as the minimum, jack asses), and said that he'd probably    
   need atleast a 28.8 modem.                                                
                                                                             
       He continued to bug me, and finally I sent him the file manually,     
   just to get him to shut up.  This is REALLY annoying after a while, but   
   we IRC couriers have to put up with it.  In addition, groups with IRC     
   channels will often get dumbasses in their rooms saying, "How come this   
   thing doesn't work on my 386?"  OK, maybe that's a little extreme, but    
   you get the picture.                                                      
                                                                             
       Personally I feel that the good outweighs the bad and that IRC        
   couriering has a bright future.  Just take a look at all the offer        
   channels springing up and becoming popular.  #Phatfiles was only          
   recently founded, and it's already very popular and many IRC couriering   
   groups support it.  I feel that it would be extremely peneficial to       
   couriering groups such as Everlast and RiSC to add IRC divisions to       
   their groups.  But if that doesn't happen, groups like PTA will continue  
   to dominate the IRC couriering arena.

       I write this letter with a great madness to what can only be termed   
   lamerz.  I know alot of you hate this term, but in this case it is        
   correct.  I am the author of a ircII client called BitchX, which          
   although not the first client to support ansi, is one of the very few     
   that distributes source code for their client.  Out of all the clients    
   for Unix systems available on the net at this time, CtoolZ by Sheik,      
   ScrollZ by Flier, EPIC 3.001 from Hop, Hop and I are the only ones who    
   offer complete source to thier clients.                                   
                                                                             
       Then there's Hellshock, who purportedly writes hADES.  hADES is a     
   rip of BitchX in all regards.  Bugs and all.  Hellshock has the gall to   
   not even acknowledge the people whom he's ripping ALL his source from.    
   So as I approach yet another BitchX release I'm faced with a decision.    
   Do I or do I not release source for BitchX?  I've spent a lot of time     
   and effort with BitchX since it's inception and a lot of people have      
   either given ideas or source to this project, I'd like to thank each and  
   every on of them for their patience and testing of a client of unknown    
   quality, for their code which I've sometimes used, sometimes ignored and  
   other times modified greatly.

       I wish I could help you stop this Hellshock guy from ripping your     
   source code, but there's really nothing I can do about it.  It's your     
   source code, and if you don't want people fucking with it, the best       
   thing to do would be to not release it at all.

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

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I write again about the Astrology section, all I am going to say is   
   THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!  Yet again the warez astrology comes true to my real  
   life.  As you may know from last letter (issue #21), I am an Aries and    
   my EX-gf is Taurus.  Well, it says Thursday I will resolve a confict and  
   for Taurus it says 'you may be tempted to state your terms forcefully.'   
   Well, this applied to me YET again.                                       
                                                                             
       As I was in the pub (a bar to you americans) playing pool and having  
   a nice quiet drink when low and behold my ex gf Shellie comes in and      
   yells and shit at me.  She pulls my hair and hits me.  This happened on   
   Thursday and which also happends to be near the end of the week           
   (regarding the Taurus starsign).  Well the last 2 weeks of the warez      
   Astrology have really been true to my NON-warez life.  Well, that's       
   enough rubbish from me and read the rest of RCN.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       First, Rebel Chicken is right in many things.  We fucked up a few     
   times, Tklp is very dedicated and wanted to group to become #1, etc.      
   There Rebel was right.  And more, all that the Quake shit was ...shit.    
   It was *NOT* that shareware beta 3 floating around, but yes, it was not   
   a final either.  Quake was our big mistake.  We just got carried away.    
                                                                             
       Second, Rebel Chicken is a fucking faggot.  He proposes to ban all    
   RLX*.* files (Reflux is a new group, made from ROR's old-timers and a     
   few great newcomers).  I just cannot believe it.  How easy is it for him  
   to say such shit?  All major groups agreed to give us a second chance,    
   and under Reflux name we are able to try again, to act fair and bring     
   you 100% releases.  The whole year of our work for ROR was wasted,        
   because we had to start a new group (although do *NOT* make a mistake     
   thinking RLX is just a new ROR.  No, there are quite a few cool new       
   members, and some old were kicked out), but we decided to start again,    
   with clean account.  And then we hear Mr. Rebel-Fucking-Chicken, who      
   tries to steer the warez free market.                                     
                                                                             
       Some people might be surprised that I do not attack the groups which  
   started that infamous ban of ROR.  You all know we could easily point a   
   few groups, like NAPALM, which has been accussed of stealing (crack,      
   releases) and had *MANY* fuckups in its history, yet no one banned them.  
   Instead we want to focus on bringing you all quality releases.  Our       
   first one was Philip Marlowe's Private Eye, 100% working full version.    
   We hope you all consider it as a good start.                              
                                                                             
   *PS* Rebel Chicken, before you do such stupid thing to any other group    
   again, choke your chicken first.

       Excuse me, but I'll say whatever the fuck I please, and I'll let you

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I read RCN #20 and it had a lot of good information in there, there   
   are of course some things I don't understand such as your NFOs.  You      
   post the NFOs for courier groups and release groups, but why don't you    
   post NFOs for art groups or tell about the latest H/P mag or something    
   like that.  I mean well, or I would write this letter.  So please give    
   me information on why that is so.                                         
                                                                             
       Also I'd like to point out the letter that Rio & Ken wrote.  Why is   
   he so pissed?  If his name doesn't get posted in here most likely it      
   will get posted on Razor 1911's Web Page.  Why must he go off like that?  
   This is a great e-mag, like he mentioned.  It serves its purpose giving   
   out information on the weekly lives of the warez scene.  After all, that  
   is what it was meant for.                                                 
                                                                             
       Anyways, I'd like to close this by saying, you guys are doing great   
   for the past couple issues I read, and I like the excellent coding job.   
   Thanks for the pleasure and keep RCN alive!

       We have yet to post NFOs from art groups because we have not yet      
   started marketing RCN into the art scene, but that does not mean that we  
   won't in the future.  To answer your question about Rio & Ken, he had     
   some fluff in his letter, because he WAS mad, for whatever reason, but    
   he made some good points.  Read the intro to this issue.

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

   Dear LamahCop,                                                            
                                                                             
       I agree with you, but only to a certain extent.  We are all on the    
   same boat, but we don't ALL trade the same files.  Personally, I only     
   wish to trade WORKING REAL files.  I don't enjoy downloading 50 disks     
   for a game that doesn't work, and nobody else should have to go through   
   crap like that also.  Groups such as THG and Razor 1911 release WORKING   
   REAL files (at least most of the time), and if younger groups want to     
   follow in their foot steps, they need to learn how to release WORKING     
   REAL files, and not 50 disks of bullshit.

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

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       Hi, I just wanted to write this because I don't think that all that   
   has to be said about this lame piece of shit group called "Reflux."  You  
   guys are the shittest group I have ever seen, you are almost RoR under a  
   different fucking name. You all eat donkey shit and suck your mama's.     
   Why don't you just give it up, you release total crap that is fucking     
   huge, that probably cost about 50 cents in a store.                       
                                                                             
       Jesus, all you fuckers are dumbass dorks who wear fucking 3" inch     
   glasses because you beat off too much and you are going seriously blind   
   because of it.  Also, as for Tklp (aka The Krazy Little Phucker), you     
   can go fuck yourself because you are the biggest piece of shit in the     
   whole stinking world.                                                     
                                                                             
       If you are in Reflux right now, get out, get out fast, because this   
   group is going to be even crappier than RoR was.  Which is pretty bad     
   since RoR was a way past lame dumb shit group.  You guys are a joke and   
   only hurting the scene as a whole.  So give it up fuckheads, everyone     
   knows you guys are lame fags who don't have anything better than sit on   
   your asses all day releasing crap and beat off.

       I'm writing in behalf of all PTA 96 members.  In Issue #21 you        
   published a hideous NFO, that was supposed to be ours.  This was most     
   definitely not the NFO you were supposed to use.  This was, of course,    
   by no fault of your own, and I have hopefully corrected the problem.      
   The person who sent you that NFO will be dealt with.  I personally        
   apoligize to anyone who saw the NFO that was used and hope they didn't    
   have a heart attack.  Thanks for the great e-mag.

       Ionizer's game review will be back in this issue.  We had slight      
   complications with the setup that a new section of Ionizer's Game Review  
   was using and decided it would be unfair of Ionizer to use the            
   formatting that he used for the last issue of TGR.  We have agreed that   
   that format would cause a great deal of unnecessary work for us and it    
   will be fixed this issue.

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

       Just read the message about "What does that mean.." (Regarding Razor  
   1911's name).  Well it is just a rip from all the groups back in the hay  
   day of BK (Before K-Rad).  It is a play off all the groups who did the    
   666 in their names.  It is 777h <- Hexadecimal.  +1 on the 666.  They     
   did it to make people who did the 666 look just plain stupid.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       For more information on a quota shell, all the user needs to do to    
   find out where he/she can store da huge files is simply type              
                                                                             
       "quota"                                                               
                                                                             
       This will tell him/her where he/she is limited to hd space.  Most     
   providers do not allocate all thier drives to quotas.  Ie they mess up    
   and not quota thier WWW drives and so on.  If they want to get a          
   complete list of all the drives thier provider offers then they simply    
   type                                                                      
                                                                             
       "df"                                                                  
                                                                             
       This will list ALL drives that are mounted on the system.  Just       
   compare it with the quota listing and see what they have quotas on and    
   what drives they don't.                                                   
                                                                             
       And if ALL drives are quotaed, they simply go to the /tmp or /temp    
   directories.  Hitex was wrong in just saying /temp, because some          
   providers using BSD dont have /temp they have /tmp.                       
                                                                             
       Also a little hint, if you store files in the /temp /tmp directory    
   don't create a directory inside that and call it                          
                                                                             
       ".whatever"                                                           
                                                                             
       Make it sound offical like                                            
                                                                             
       ".systemlinks"                                                        
                                                                             
       Adding the . in front of it stops a simple ls from seeing it, and     
   most users don't bother doing a "ls -al" to see all the files, and if it  
   looks offical they won't bother going in there.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       Violence was originally the crackers, suppliers, and couriers of      
   NGT.  We started the release division because JLennon closed down         
   Extreme and merged into us.  He had a lot of things he could supply so    
   we decided on a release team.  For about 2 weeks we racked up about 15    
   releases, which was pretty good.  It still wasn't doing as I wanted it    
   to.  So we decided to break it off into its own release group.  The name  
   we decided on was Violence, which Manowar had always wanted to use.       
                                                                             
       Violence did a lot better than NGT did with releasing.  We put out    
   about 15 more releases in a couple weeks.  Still we weren't getting       
   enough support.  Mortality duped us, and used the reason we didn't        
   spread our releases enough.  At first I tried recruiting better           
   couriers, etc.  The job was still not getting done.                       
                                                                             
       During the last week of Violence, several groups offered to merge us  
   into them.  Among those were Legion and DOD.  DOD is a very experienced   
   group but they aren't a releasing mecca as they used to be.  Legion has   
   been doing very well in the past 2 weeks.  They have very good couriers,  
   good sites, etc.  So we decided to merge into Legion.  We dropped a       
   couple couriers in Violence, and brought everyone else into Legion.       
                                                                             
       From Violence, the staff positions were designated as follows.        
   Manowar took the Council spot in Legion.  Dawg and I took senior          
   positions, while everyone else pretty much stayed the same place as they  
   were.                                                                     
                                                                             
       Legion is doing exceptionally well this week.  With 10 releases in    
   the past 3 days, everyone and their mom wants to join.  We are not        
   accepting any couriers at the moment.  We are going to be the best util   
   group in the scene.  'Nuff said.

       Recently Mortality, a very respected utils releasing force, released  
   "Omnipage Pro v7.0 for Windows 95."  Omnipage pro is an OCR (Optical      
   Character Recognition, or something like that) program useful if you      
   have a scanner.  It will help you scan, and, if scanning text pages,      
   will convert the text into letters known by the computer as a font.       
   This will make the document editable in a word processor.  This is an     
   awesome program, and I quickly jumped on the release to download it.  I   
   finished downloading it, ran setup, everything was looking good, until    
   it got to the serial number.  In Windows 95, I started another DOS        
   prompt and opened up the MTY.NFO file.  I looked for the serial number,   
   entered it, and proud that it worked, continued on.  Then I couldn't get  
   it to recognize that I had disk1 in a "disk1" directory.  Dumb program.   
   I went back to the NFO file just to find that I had to put the thing on   
   floppies to install it.  Who ever has 5 floppies lying around any more?   
   5 ZIP disks maybe, but the last time I saw a floppy disk, I was a little  
   boy!  I was pissed off, so I cancelled everything and went online trying  
   to find some Mortality senior I could vent my anger out on.  Mortality    
   didn't even bother to crack their release.                                
                                                                             
       Unable to do so (maybe they were hiding!) I found a guy from UCF who  
   told me that UCF had just released a crack to fix the release.  My        
   thoughts quickly shifted from cussing out Mortality to getting the        
   program to work!  I downloaded the crack, and surely enough, everything   
   worked.  In fact, I don't remember ever having downloaded a crack by UCF  
   and having it not work.  No UCF member ever came up to Mortality and      
   yelled at them, no UCF member shouted at them for not doing something so  
   simple as finding a cracker (UCF would have done it if asked), UCF        
   quietly took the release and, without any fuss, released a crack just a   
   little while later.                                                       
                                                                             
       UCF has always been one to chase after releases and fix others'       
   fuckups, it has been done almost religiously, and never have I seen a     
   member of UCF yell at any group for messing up.  UCF takes requests with  
   open arms, but that's like offering a drug addict free rehabilitation.    
   Mortality's reason for releasing a half-working release wasn't because    
   they couldn't find a cracker, it was because they wanted to be fast       
   about it.                                                                 
                                                                             
       UCF has done a wonderful job of cracking programs for the scene for   
   2 years now.  They've seen many groups come and go, yet they have hung    
   on, and quite well I might add.  A few groups are blessed with having a   
   few crackers from UCF as their own members, DOD quite blessed with        
   having Misha as a member, and it's true, I haven't seen any uncracked     
   DOD releases as long as I remember.                                       
                                                                             
       So let's all congratulate one of the scene's truly finest groups,     
   and give the United Cracking Force a big round of applause, a much        
   deserved one after two years of consistent cracking, and there's no end   
   in sight.  Thank you for all the work you have done for us, UCF, and      
   keep it up, you're doing a wonderful job!

  RCN: UCF (United Cracking Force) has been an integral part of the scene  
         for many years now, yet it is one of the most unappreciated groups  
         for a group that does so much.  UCF handles much of the cracking    
         that goes on for the scene.  Could you tell us how UCF came about   
         and why this group is important for the survival of the scene?      
                                                                             
  UCF: UCF was founded in the beginning of 1994 by just 2 crackers, Sonic  
         and me.  We were the former crackers in the well known group UTG    
         (United Traders of Germany).  One day in 1994, UTG began to die     
         slowly, that was the time I talked with Sonic, a hell of a cracker  
         even today, about building our own group.  I always wanted to have  
         my own group, and that was how it started.  We only release cracks  
         and nothing else.                                                   
                                                                             
  RCN: Does UCF release cracks solely for shareware games and utils?       
         I've seen a few DOD (Drink or Die) and PWA (Pirates with            
         Attitudes) utils cracked by UCF, does UCF do special crack          
         requests for these big utils groups?                                
                                                                             
  UCF: UCF released and releases cracks for any kind of software, we like  
         or we get requests.  Mostly we crack what is uncracked but could    
         be needed by a lot of people like D-Studio v4.1 or MIRC v4.52, but  
         sometimes we even do cracks for well known groups to help them      
         out.  On the other hand, most members from UCF are also in other    
         groups such as DOD, Napalm, PWA, Prestige, and X-Force, therefore   
         you see the names of our crackers everywhere.  If you mention       
         DjPaul, Lost Soul, Misha, or The Riddler, they all are in other     
         groups too.                                                         
                                                                             
  RCN: I know that managing a weekly electronic magazine such as RCN is    
         very hard and that is why RCN is one of a kind, much the same way   
         that there is only one dominant cracking group, UCF.  I assume      
         then that running a cracking group such as UCF must be very         
         difficult, since there is only one cracking group that anyone has   
         ever heard of, UCF.                                                 
                                                                             
  UCF: Running UCF wasn't that hard in the beginning.  For 1 year, UCF     
         consisted of only 2 members and even with only 5 crackers on        
         board, it was easy.  But right now, UCF has nearly 20 members,      
         including couriers and traders.  To tell the truth, it is a lot of  
         work right now especially for me, because I have to coordinate a    
         lot of things besides my own cracks, that take up a lot of my       
         time.  I cannot recommend to do it like I do it now.                
                                                                             
  RCN: I always see a lot of new courier and release groups popping up,    
         but I rarely see new cracking groups pop up.  Why is that so?       
                                                                             
  UCF: I too see a lot of new groups popping up, not even in cracking but  
         in games and utils too.  But most of these groups come and go.      
         UCF WILL STAY as long as I have energy, and I have a lot because I  
         like this cracking.  And I am sure, most of us like the challenge   
         that cracking gives us.                                             
                                                                             
  RCN: How did you learn how to crack software?  Did you just pick up a    
         book that taught you how to crack?  If so, what's the name of that  
         book?  I want to check out that book from my local public library,  
         but then again, I do have this really big fine and I haven't        
         really picked up a book in a long long time.  Anyway, if it did     
         take you something more than one book to learn how to crack, then   
         could you describe your process in becoming a proficient cracker?   
                                                                             
  UCF: In the beginning, I only read one assembler book, to get the        
         opcodes of a program to crack.  But after 2 years, I bought the     
         second one, MS The Programmer's PC Sourcebook!  This one was and    
         is the most used book by me.  Nothing than plain information is in  
         it, no damn time wasting converstation.  Other recommended books    
         should be Win 95 and Visual C++ Stuff from Andrew Schulman and      
         Matt Pietrek, I would not read anything else.  Beside these books,  
         you need NU-Mega Software such as WinIce and Soft-Ice.  But in the  
         end, your brain decides if you will become a good cracker or not.   
                                                                             
  RCN: Software companies have always put cheap cd-rom and instruction     
         manual checks on their software as a prevention to piracy.  How     
         effective are the current protection methods?  Obviously, their     
         software protection has yet to be very good if UCF can just take    
         software inside out and make it usable by the average Joe.  Is      
         there any type of software protection put out by software           
         companies that UCF is unable to crack, a new protection of some     
         sort that could be used to prevent piracy?                          
                                                                             
  UCF: That depends on the software protection, half of the protections    
         can be cracked in less than 30 minutes.  A third of the             
         protections include cd-rom checks.  Both games and utils are hard   
         to crack in the beginning, but it's nice and easy in the second     
         try.  And that is the biggest problem, companies know a good        
         protection is useless if it is only takes one time to crack it!     
         But still, a tenth of all protections takes a lot of time to crack  
         and maybe a tenth is deemed uncrackable.  To name some releases,    
         3D-Studio for DOS, Auto CAD German, and Trade Station for Windows   
         always took a lot of work to crack because they had very good       
         protections.  Some programs such as DIA/DAGO are still uncracked    
         even today.                                                         
                                                                             
  RCN: There are a lot of release groups out there that release software   
         without cracking it.  Does UCF go out of its way to help correct    
         these misfit releases and release groups?                           
                                                                             
  UCF: Sure we do, every time we install a program that we need in some    
         way, and recognize it is uncracked, we try to crack it and release  
         the crack a few days after the original program was released.  We   
         do this a lot of times.  Recently, Bounds-Checker v3.0 for Win 95   
         was released by X-Force and cracked a few days later by UCF.  We    
         keep our eyes open and personally, I think we help the whole scene  
         if we fix other groups' misfits.  Hopefully, I only remember a few  
         uncracked AND important programs.                                   
                                                                             
  RCN: As the President of UCF, what is your opinion of the scene?         
                                                                             
  UCF: The pirate scene is really the best we could ever had.  Why?  We    
         all help the hardware and software industry just because we exist.  
         Without the scene, not even I would have bought a computer,         
         because I would have to buy all the expensive software with it.     
         Are we all rich?  No.  Software companies would sell nothing if     
         nobody had a computer.  Even a lot of people that use a pirated     
         programs at the age of 17 consider to buy the same software at the  
         age of 22 for business whether they can get it cracked or not, we   
         need them all.  I had and have a lot of nice time in the scene,     
         and especially because I gathered a lot of real good friends in     
         UCF.  I will not miss a single person and I will never miss the     
         scene.

     Subject  : The Elvis of Cracking     Affiliation : UCF Cracker

  RCN: Many people consider you one of the best crackers in the scene.     
         You've cracked games that were deemed uncrackable by other          
         crackers.  Do you feel that your reputation is warranted?           
                                                                             
  MSH: It probably is if the majority thinks that way.  To make it a       
         little more clear, I'd have to consider both groups that judge me   
         a little differently.  The two groups are crackers and general      
         population which is consisted of non-crackers, people who don't     
         really know what goes on behind the actual cracking process or at   
         what level it's done.  The general public sees the results, and so  
         far, my cracks have worked well for many people.  Also, I used to   
         write trainers for games, which also probably raised my reputation  
         a little for their sometimes non-standard features, I made these    
         characters fly for example, which were not part of the original     
         game.                                                               
                                                                             
  RCN: Do you believe that you are also respected among other crackers?    
                                                                             
  MSH: I believe I'm also respected among crackers, this is what matters   
         most because only crackers can appreciate the actual work, and      
         have a certain reputation in that community.                        
                                                                             
  RCN: In your days as a cracker, even though you have had much success,   
         which games or utils have you not been able to crack?  Of those     
         games and utils that you have not been able to crack, what kind of  
         protection was implemented?  If you are not able to crack such      
         protection, do companies start using such protection more often?    
                                                                             
  MSH: First of all, my cracking skills didn't stay the same all the       
         time.  There's always room for learning and experience is a very    
         important part of becoming better.  Hardware dongles would be       
         considered one of the hard categories because the dongle device     
         may contain information needed to run the program and most of the   
         time, the cracker doesn't have access to the device itself.         
         Script-based programs are usually considered hard to work with,     
         things like Visual Basic for example.  Also there are several       
         programs that attempt to stop people from tracing and cracking      
         them by jamming debuggers, tools used to do most of the cracking,   
         but those are very hard to write and maintain.  I still have a few  
         programs on my list which I wasn't able to crack because of lack    
         of experience and knowledge, most from the beginning of my          
         cracking career, all I needed for those is some time.  And things   
         like dongles are normally impossible to fully fix without the       
         dongle.  I try to stay away from those types of programs.           
                                                                             
  RCN: Which groups are you affiliated with besides UCF?                   
                                                                             
  MSH: At this time, it's mainly UCF and probably DOD only, but I take     
         requests from basically any group big or small so you may see me    
         as a cracker in some nfos although I'm not officially in any other  
         groups besides those 2.                                             
                                                                             
  RCN: What's the difference between a good cracker and a good coder?      
         Are good crackers also good coders?  And are good crackers also     
         good coders?                                                        
                                                                             
  MSH: It's interesting and although I don't immediately see the           
         connection, but in my experience good crackers can code well at     
         least in assembly, and frequently in other langagues.  It's         
         different for coders I guess.  Since some assembly knowledge is     
         required to crack, high-level-only coders can't crack and even      
         demo-coders who code in assembly a lot may not have the             
         experience.                                                         
                                                                             
  RCN: Your cracking skills are well known, but are you also skillful in   
         coding?  We can't all be good at everything, so don't feel          
         embarrassed if you're not good at coding.                           
                                                                             
  MSH: Actually, I'm pretty decent at coding.  I have coded some           
         cracking-related programs such as keymakers, EXE file               
         decompressors, tools, other programs for DOS and Windows, mostly    
         low-level C stuff, and even attempted to write simple intros/demos  
         in the past.

     Reporter : Rebel Chicken             Interviewee : Manic                
     Subject  : In Defense of Tklp        Affiliation : Reflux Senior

  RCN: Many people in the scene now believe that ROR (Release on Rampage)  
         and Reflux are basically the same groups with a different name,     
         and thus, a bad ROR name might carry over to Reflux.  Do you        
         believe that is true?  If not, why not?                             
                                                                             
  RLX: Well, ROR and Reflux ARE very much alike, but when we started       
         Reflux we brought in many new people, including a few suppliers     
         and seniors.  We were also given a chance to start over by          
         dropping the ROR name.  So in most cases the ban on ROR releases    
         shouldn't carry over to becoming a ban on Reflux releases.  People  
         who didn't like ROR probably felt that way because of members of    
         the group, and will continue to feel that.  I know Tklp and myself  
         have made a few enemies, so that affected some of the feelings      
         toward ROR.                                                         
                                                                             
  RCN: ROR files were banned on major boards because Tklp faked the now    
         infamous Quake Final.  Tklp said that it was the final version of   
         Quake even though Jay Wilbur, and other employees of iD Software    
         would vouch for the fact that it was only the beta version hex      
         edited to say that it was the final version.  Piston, a former      
         senior of ROR also believes that Tklp released a fake Quake Final   
         in an attempt to make ROR look good.  Little did Tklp realize that  
         his choice in releasing a fake Quake Final would lead to so much    
         hatred toward ROR.  Tklp is the leader of ROR, and he is now the    
         leader of  Reflux.  In the eyes of the many, Reflux is still the    
         same group led by Tklp.  What has Tklp done to warrant a second     
         chance?                                                             
                                                                             
  RLX: Tklp is a great a leader, I have stood behind him since the day     
         ROR started and everyone criticized him for being young, saying he  
         was to young an immature to run a stable group.  In my opinion, he  
         isn't on a second chance, everyone makes mistakes, the release of   
         the fake Quake Final was one of his.                                
                                                                             
  RCN: Why won't he do it again?  He chose to do it once, he'll do it      
         again.  If he does deserve a second chance, then he better put out  
         an official apology for faking the Quake Final.  If he doesn't,     
         not very many people will take the new ROR, Reflux, as a serious    
         group.  If Tklp could go out of his way to fake the Quake release,  
         what will stop him from doing it again on another game?             
                                                                             
  RLX: I think that he learned his lesson the first time.  He knows the    
         effect it had, and I doubt he would make the mistake again.         
                                                                             
  RCN: Yes, he learned his lesson because he was caught.  He'll be back    
         again.  He's been raided by the U.S. Marshalls and he still runs a  
         pirate group, the guy's a fucking energizer bunny pirate.  I don't  
         think he can really learn his lesson.  Moving on, I saw that        
         Reflux had its first release a few days ago, was this release done  
         by one of Reflux's new suppliers that were not a part of the        
         original ROR?                                                       
                                                                             
  RLX: Yes, Private Eye was supplied by Junior Mafia, a new supplier to    
         Reflux.  Premiere, another release group, released a totally        
         unworking copy of Private Eye.  We decided to take the oppurtunity  
         to release a working copy and the sound addon.  We have always had  
         strong releasing power, and will continue to.  With the new         
         additions, Reflux will be a powerful force in the scene.            
                                                                             
  RCN: I'm sure that Reflux will have a good future as a release group,    
         after all, ROR did have some amazing releases, and I'm sure that    
         Reflux will be able to amaze the scene in much the same way.  Have  
         there been any problems that have come about as result of ROR       
         changing its name to Reflux?  I do see that a few ROR seniors were  
         dropped during the transition.  Did any of them pose a problem for  
         Reflux?  And why were these ROR seniors cut from Reflux?  Were      
         they part of the problem why ROR could not keep up a good           
         reputation?                                                         
                                                                             
  RLX: Well, there were no ROR seniors cut from Reflux.  Piston was a      
         former ROR senior that left us a while back.  Piston doesn't        
         understand the meaning of loyalty.  The other ROR senior, god,      
         left the scene to devote more time to his business.  The rest of    
         the ROR seniors are current Reflux seniors, with the addition of    
         Angel of Death and Lucid.                                           
                                                                             
  RCN: I'm sure that the scene will give Reflux a second chance, let's     
         just hope that Tklp doesn't fuck up again this time.  But I do      
         sincerely believe that Tklp needs to get off his ass and write the  
         scene an apology letter admitting that he pulled a lame ass trick   
         and got caught for it.  I need to hear him confess that he did      
         wrong, and I need to hear him say that he will never pull shit      
         like that again before I would consider him a changed man.

       Being the editors of an e-mag, Rebel Chicken and I are forced to      
   keep unbiased opinions about things that happen in the scene.  We can't   
   label a group as bad because if they do change their ways, we have a      
   duty to the scene to be there and support them once more.  As much as I   
   tried, though, I could never keep ROR clean in my eyes.  There were too   
   many things gone bad about them.  However, Reflux made a good move with   
   their first release, it being a WORKING VERSION of another group's        
   error.  I hope that this will be the future of Reflux, and I am now       
   willing to, as my duty holds, clean ROR's marred reputation from my       
   book, and give them another chance as Reflux.                             
                                                                             
       However, Reflux's second release, Bermuda Syndrome, turned out to be  
   a dupe from November of 1995.  Nonetheless, Reflux showed that they were  
   mature about it, and promptly apologized for their mistake.               
                                                                             
       Many have been bashing Reflux for, in reality, being ROR.  However,   
   there's more in the name Reflux than meets the eye.  Reflux symbolizes    
   not only ROR, but a second chance, something that the scene has always    
   been an unconditional giver of.  So Tklp, and your peers, may you have a  
   great future, and may you have learned your lesson from your previous     
   faults, many as they may be.

     Reporter : Rebel Chicken             Interviewee : The Speed Racer      
     Subject  : The #1 Games Group?       Affiliation : Razor 1911 Leader

  RCN: How do you think Razor (Razor 1911) currently rates against other   
         games groups in the scene?  Razor has been the #1 games group in    
         the scene for many years now, but do you believe that it is still   
         the #1 games group?                                                 
                                                                             
  RZR: I think that Razor will always be the #1 games group due to the     
         fact that every game we release is quality and we pretest our       
         games so that the end user will not have wasted his time            
         downloading a non-working game.  Also bear in mind that although    
         Razor may not be the #1 games group in the games chart, we are      
         consistent.  I personally have seen many groups come and go in the  
         past two years, some dynasties like Pentagram, TDU-Jam, and         
         Hybrid.  Hybrid is back though after it had died earlier when it    
         tried merging into another games group known as Dynamix which is    
         also dead now.  But as these many groups come and go, in the end,   
         there can only be one Razor!                                        
                                                                             
  RCN: True, Razor will always be around even when other groups come and   
         go.  I've been downloading Razor games since late 1994.  I          
         remember sometime in 1994 that I found a text being spread saying   
         that Razor had officially disbanded.  I was in shock because all    
         of my friends had told me that Razor was a legendary group that     
         would be around indefinitely.  I read the text file on Razor        
         1911's death, and I found out that TRC (The Renegade Chemist) who   
         who was a Razor leader at the time, decided to disband Razor.  He   
         claimed that he had disagreements with many other Razor members.    
         A few weeks later, I was surprised to see that Razor did not die,   
         and that you were the new leader.  How did you become the leader    
         of Razor 1911?  It is ironic to see that TRC is now a leader of     
         Prestige, Razor's closest competitor.                               
                                                                             
  RZR: In December of 1994, TRC had wanted to close down Razor saying      
         that it was the best floppy game releasing group of all time and    
         that the group should not continue due to the fact of the           
         diminishing amount of floppy game releases.                         
                                                                             
  RCN: That's stupid of TRC, right after he disbanded Razor, didn't he go  
         on to start his new floppy games group called Eclipse?  What was    
         he smoking?                                                         
                                                                             
  RZR: I took it upon myself to get a general consensus of the group, and  
         I found that the majority did not want the group killed.            
                                                                             
  RCN: Of course not, Razor has always been a dominant force in the        
         scene, it would be absurd to kill such a good group.                
                                                                             
  RZR: With the backing of The Gecko and EOS, I called up the Razor        
         distribution sites and suppliers and rallied them around.  At that  
         point, TRC was surprised to see such a gathering and put up a       
         fight with Marauder siding with TRC and Randall Flagg helping.      
         The text file being spread was actually a private message that TRC  
         wrote in the Razor Conference on The Assassin's Guild, which was    
         the Razor WHQ at the time.  King Lear, a Razor courier, took the    
         private message and spread it as a text file, he was booted out of  
         Razor for doing it.  After about a month, Marauder was the one      
         supplier that supplied a few games with his razor.nfo which had     
         TRC listed in it.  The rest of the suppliers were using my          
         razor.nfo which did not include TRC.                                
                                                                             
  RCN: So there were TWO razor.nfos?                                       
                                                                             
  RZR: The final showdown would come on The Assassin's Guild when TRC was  
         pumping up his version of Rise of the Triad and the rest of Razor   
         pumped up my version with my nfo.  Imagine that two Razor releases  
         of the same game with different razor.nfos were being pumped up in  
         a race, what a rush!                                                
                                                                             
  RCN: Yup, what a rush.                                                   
                                                                             
  RZR: After seeing his loss on The Ghetto, which later becomes the        
         Eclipse WHQ, TRC gracefully admitted his loss and that he was no    
         longer in Razor.  After that, we turned around our attention and    
         we started a mad releasing frenzy.  TRC was filled with revenge     
         and hatred and after claiming he would retire, he then started      
         Eclipse which would die three months later, then he jumped to       
         Hybrid which would die four months later, then he went to Dynamix   
         which lasted four months, and now he is finally with Prestige, a    
         currently good games releasing group.                               
                                                                             
  RCN: Why did you have this race with TRC in the first place?  Why were   
         there two separate razor.nfos, one with TRC in it, and one          
         without?  How could this have happened?                             
                                                                             
  RZR: In my razor.nfo, TRC was not listed cause we had kicked him out so  
         he was trying to out release us with his name in his nfo to show    
         that he had power in the group.                                     
                                                                             
  RCN: What an idiot!  If you're not wanted in a group, you might as well  
         leave it.  Was TRC hard to work with?  Why did he have to show      
         that he had power in the group?  Is he some kind of power hungry    
         punk?  Last time I chatted with him, he said to me, "But I am       
         god!"  And when I did not acknowledge the fact that he was a god,   
         he got really really mad at me.                                     
                                                                             
  RZR: TRC is very knowledgeable in supplying games, but he is very        
         arrogant and cocky when it comes to dealing with people which       
         usually rubs people the wrong way.                                  
                                                                             
  RCN: How is he knowledgeable in supplying?  What does he do that no one  
         else can?  I'm sure he does not work for a games company, they      
         wouldn't hire someone like him.  How does he supply?  I'm sure TRC  
         doesn't supply games by doing store pick up because he always       
         makes fun of Pest from Razor for doing that.                        
                                                                             
  RZR: TRC uses various methods and he does do store pick up and evidence  
         of that would be his release of the game "Hoyles Solitaire."        
                                                                             
  RCN: Yeah, Prestige released Hoyles Solitaire the same day it shipped    
         into my store.  I work for Egghead, so I know these things.         
                                                                             
  RZR: If you would've been on top of your game you could have beaten      
         him.                                                                
                                                                             
  RCN: Thanks but no thanks.  I don't supply.  I like to keep myself       
         clean for purposes of being an RCN editor.  And I think supplying   
         is a bore, don't take it the wrong way, it's just my personal bias  
         toward taking games home, ripping them, cracking them, testing      
         them, packaging them, and then uploading them to some board for     
         credits.  There are already enough people who can do that.  Did     
         TRC pose problems for Razor even after he left it?  Has he done     
         anything that would hinder Razor's work ethics, or its release      
         potential?                                                          
                                                                             
  RZR: TRC has tried to kill the group or damage it by trying to steal     
         some former HQs which supplied games and other suppliers as well,   
         but people in general like working with me which is why they have   
         stayed loyal to me and the group.                                   
                                                                             
  RCN: Of course, nobody likes to work with someone that has a fucking     
         napaoleon complex, but either way, when you found out that TRC was  
         trying to kill Razor and was trying to steal Razor suppliers, how   
         did you react?  Did you try to stop him?                            
                                                                             
  RZR: Luckily, I have great informers and everyone is loyal to me so I    
         managed to secure everything.  Except for maybe a few traders that  
         left Razor, he got away with nothing.                               
                                                                             
  RCN: You said earlier that Eclipse lasted four months with TRC running   
         it, and you then mentioned that Hybrid and Dynamix also only        
         lasted four months.  Do you belive perhaps that Prestige would not  
         last much longer than four months also, since it's being run by     
         TRC?                                                                
                                                                             
  RZR: TRC is from what I am led to believe a minor leader, Zion and       
         Speed Master are the leaders with Shadow Master also advising.      
                                                                             
  RCN: Yeah right, tell TRC that he is only a minor leader in Prestige     
         and he'll blow up.  You also mentioned earlier that the reason why  
         Razor is the #1 games group is because it consistenly releases      
         good quality games that are tested to make sure that they work, do  
         you believe that there are other games groups out there that might  
         also match Razor's quality?                                         
                                                                             
  RZR: For now and the MOST part Prestige and Hybrid do release quality    
         working games, and I hope they continue doing a good job doing so   
         because in the end, the whole scene benefits from a good release.   
                                                                             
  RCN: Yes, and that's a great attitude toward your competitors.

     Subject  : Legion Steals!            Affiliation : Ex-LGN Coordinator

  RCN: What is your current position in Legion?  And what were your        
         duties for the group?                                               
                                                                             
  AOD: I was a net coordinator before Acidplain had cut me for no reason,  
         and what I basically did was upload to Oasis and BBX for Legion     
         and help out couriers.                                              
                                                                             
  RCN: Acidplain just decided to cut your position as a net coordinator    
         for Legion for absolutely NO reason?  I'm sure Acidplain must have  
         been ticked off about something right?  He wouldn't have just gone  
         around cutting members from Legion without a valid cause.  Were     
         there any happenings prior to him cutting you from the group?       
                                                                             
  AOD: It started about 6 months ago when the courier group Digital was    
         still active in the scene.  Acidplain was accepted into Digital as  
         a member by Devast, a Digital Leader.  Acidplain told Devast that   
         he could get Digital t3 sites, but it turned out that Acidplain     
         lied to Devast and when Devast found out, Devast kicked Acidplain   
         out of the group.  This morning, X-Factor, a co-leader of Legion,   
         was angry with Acidplain because he hasn't done one good thing for  
         Legion.  I agreed with X-Factor on that note and also told him      
         about Acidplain's prior reputation as a Digital member.  Acidplain  
         must have overheard what had happened and since he always hated     
         me, he cut me.                                                      
                                                                             
  RCN: When you say that he cut you, you are referring to him kicking you  
         out of the group right?  Were any other members cut as a result of  
         what you said?                                                      
                                                                             
  AOD: Yes, when I was still a net coordinator, X-Factor had told me to    
         help him make a few cuts.  When I came up with the list, Acidplain  
         said that I too was cut from the group.                             
                                                                             
  RCN: Do you believe that perhaps Acidplain might be doing more good for  
         Legion if he left?  After all, it seems to me that he might only    
         be atrophying Legion's already tarred reputation.                   
                                                                             
  AOD: First of all, I would like to get one thing straight, I do not      
         consider Acidplain leet at all, many people will agree with me on   
         this.  He has done nothing for the group so far and even his        
         co-leaders agree.  I must admit that his co-leaders are doing a     
         really good job though.  I could tell you that if he were to leave  
         Legion, there would be no tears shed by anyone, in other words, he  
         wouldn't make the group any worse.                                  
                                                                             
  RCN: Perhaps he does serve a purpose that benefits the group, but it     
         just so happens that nobody can see what he does for the group?     
         After all, if he did nothing for Legion, wouldn't he be kicked out  
         of the group by now, or perhaps he will be kicked out soon?         
                                                                             
  AOD: No, I don't think he'll get kicked out because the co-leaders       
         don't want to do it because they are scared to.  But I can tell     
         you for a fact that one of the co-leaders has been thinking about   
         it.                                                                 
                                                                             
  RCN: How many co-leaders are there in Legion?  If there aren't more      
         than 3 leaders in Legion, then that should really narrow it down    
         to who has been thinking of kicking Acidplain out of Legion.        
                                                                             
  AOD: Well, there are 3 leaders currently, but I think Acidplain was the  
         founder although he doesn't do *NEARLY* as much as any of the       
         other leaders.                                                      
                                                                             
  RCN: He might not be doing much good for Legion, but we all know that    
         Acidplain is doing SOMETHING for Legion.  After all, we all know    
         that he's been out doing stupid things like starting wars with      
         more popular utils groups such as Pinnacle.  There is even          
         evidence that he has been trying to steal suppliers from Pinnacle   
         for Legion.  Acidplain has also been caught flooding channel        
         #Pinnacle like he was a 12 year old dickless lamer.  Do the Legion  
         leaders and members stand behind his actions?                       
                                                                             
  AOD: Well, many Legion members are afraid to stand up against Acidplain  
         because they all know that he is very immature.  If you speak out   
         against him, you get cut from Legion like that.  And yes, I         
         believe that he has been stealing suppliers from other utils        
         groups.  I don't know whether he has stopped flooding channel       
         #Pinnacle though.                                                   
                                                                             
  RCN: How old is Acidplain?                                               
                                                                             
  AOD: Well, I don't know how old he is, but when I asked him how old he   
         was, he replied, "How old is your mom?"  That alone should give     
         you a picture of how immature he is.  Legion is still a good utils  
         group, it's just that things would be a lot more peaceful without   
         a wannabe like Acidplain running around.

       A few days after this interview, I was informed that Acidplain was    
   shitlisted out of Legion.  In a desperate move, Acidplain claims that he  
   now has a 6 gig t3 site, and that he is now a member of PWA (Pirated      
   with Attitudes) and Razor 1911.  Upon further confirmation, I was         
   informed that he is not really a part of PWA or Razor 1911, and he        
   definitely does not run a 6 gig t3 site.  Acidplain was merely lying...

   out that he was kicked out of Legion :

         why your group size is so big?                                      
                                                                             
  PCW: Well, we have our own couriers within the group as well as courier  
         groups, we figure the more people the more the warez will get       
         around.                                                             
                                                                             
  RCN: So your group is very strong courier wise, where do you spread you  
         files first on BBS's or FTP's?                                      
                                                                             
  PCW: Well, I would say it is sent to both equally because we have split  
         the couriers in 2 groups, Internet and BBS so they get the files    
         to both pretty much at the same time, as well as we have PTA        
         (Power Trading Arsenal) offering on IRC and couriering to FTP as    
         well.                                                               
                                                                             
  RCN: You said before that your group is a uni-releasing group, how come  
         you don't concentrate on only utils or games?                       
                                                                             
  PCW: Well we try to stay mostly with utils but if the game is cool and   
         we have it handy then why not?                                      
                                                                             
  RCN: What is your source of getting releases?                            
                                                                             
  PCW: Well, we have a few ways, we have suppliers who buy or rent the     
         programs, as well as a few suppliers employed in companies wich     
         provide software.                                                   
                                                                             
  RCN: What do you mean rent programs?  Where I come from, there are no    
         programs available for rent, the only source is either to buy them  
         or pirate them!                                                     
                                                                             
  PCW: Well, here in Canada there are stores wich rent out cds and         
         software, who knows if it is legal or not but they do it!!  And     
         these are reputable stores.  We even have certain video stores      
         which rent out games.                                               
                                                                             
  RCN: PCW was never a big releasing group, but in the last few weeks you  
         have released quite a lot of programs.  How many releases do you    
         put out in an average week?                                         
                                                                             
  PCW: It varies every week!  Sometimes we have nothing and sometimes we   
         can release up to 7 to 8 releases a week, but we are still fairly   
         young I would like to eventually have it to at least 10 releases a  
         week every week.                                                    
                                                                             
  RCN: There was a rumour that one of PCW suppliers had Quake Final Beta   
         before it was released by ROR but for some strange reason, you      
         didn't release.  Why did you pass on on such a great game?          
                                                                             
  PCW: Yes, that is true we had a supplier that had the beta but spent     
         all day and night playing the game that we missed the chance and    
         ROR released it.  We were not seriously concerned with it anyways   
         as we try to stay mostly with the utils.                            
                                                                             
  RCN: When you spread your files, to which FTPs and BBSes do they go      
         first?                                                              
                                                                             
  PCW: Well, we have all the releases sent to our FTPs and our BBSes       
         first and from there the couriers take them to the rest of the      
         sites and boards I could not name all the places they go there are  
         so many couriers I would never be able to keep track of that all I  
         care is that they get out to people.                                
                                                                             
  RCN: Many groups usually upload to big FTPs and BBSes in order not to    
         be beaten by other groups, how come you don't do the same?          
                                                                             
  PCW: Like I said, my main concern is getting the files out to the        
         people, I like to think we have couriers getting them to the big    
         sites first seeing as we give them the files first, but as long as  
         they get out and spread quickly.                                    
                                                                             
  RCN: How worldwide spread is PCW?                                        
                                                                             
  PCW: Well, we cover mostly Canada and United States, but we also have    
         people in Europe, Russia, South America, and Middle East so I       
         would say we are pretty well covered.                               
                                                                             
  RCN: What are the future plans for PCW?                                  
                                                                             
  PCW: Well, our future goal is to be up there along side Razor, PWA and   
         the other big groups but for the near future we would just like to  
         release a lot more warez for the people to enjoy!                   
                                                                             
  RCN: Ok, thanks a lot for the interview and is there anything you want   
         to say in the closing?                                              
                                                                             
  PCW: Yes, I would just like to say for everyone to keep an eye out for   
         PCWAREZ and enjoy our releases!  Also, to all you group             
         prezidents, watch out for Acidplain, he enjoys sneaking in your     
         group and stealing your members while you are not looking... very

     Subject : Describing Your Releases

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

    Just unzip the files in to "disk" dirs' and install it.

       I took a gamble when I downloaded this program because I didn't know  
   exactly WHAT it would convert, fortunately I won, this is a WONDERFUL     
   release by DOD, unfortunately many probably passed this one up due to     
   DOD's skimpy description.  A more appropriate description would have      
   been :                                                                    
                                                                             
       "A wonderful program that will let you convert between all kinds of   
   formats such as Word Processing, Database, Graphics, and Spreadsheet      
   formats quite quickly and very well.  In fact, this program will even     
   let you read Macintosh floppy disks (it even works on iOMEGA ZIP disks!)  
   and will add seamless Macintosh media support to your Windows 95          
   interface!  A must get for any person that would ever have to do          
   cross-platform work!  To install merely unzip the files in to 'disk'

    To install unzip each file into a dir named disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4

       What makes PWA think that just because this is a popular program,     
   they don't have to describe it?  The most you can infer from the PWA NFO  
   comes out of their "Type" field, suggesting it is a "Remote Control"      
   program.  However, that would mean, to your average user, that it is a    
   program for infra-red control of your computer, or something to that      
   nature.  If a group has the balls to rate one of their releases 10/10,    
   as PWA did with this release, it should at least say a few words to back  
   that up!  A more appropriate description would have been :                
                                                                             
       "A remote access program for accessing your PC from other locations   
   via a modem.  You get file transfer features as well as printer control   
   features, a great program to have if you need to access programs from     
   your work PC from your home, and don't feel like traveling back to work   
   to get them."

                               Game Notes                                  
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~                                 
     Razor 1911 proudly presents Gender Wars (c) GT Intgeractive.          
     This is an action/strategy type game, which features crisp game       
     GFX, and exploding sound effects.  Choose you SEX, cuz the battle     
     is on.  Enjoy this title from the one and only RAZOR 1911.            
                                                                           
                           Installation Guide                              
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                             
     In order for this game to run properly, you MUST substitute X:        
     for ?:\GENDER in order for this game to work.  We appologize for      
     any inconvenience this may cause you, but it is the only way we       
     can get this game to work.  It is worth it though.  Once you have     
     substituted, run INSTALL, and follow the prompts.  Be sure NOT to     
     to delete the entirety of the installation directory, keep the        
     Subdirectories within, they are required.  Once done, copy the        
     GW.EXE supplied in installation dir to the C:\GW, and play.           
                                                                             
       Now THAT is an example of a great NFO.  Adequate description of the   
   game, and ample information about how to install it.  I admit that        
   install utils is easier than installing games, but I've seen too many     
   games released with the same amount of data as the above utils.  Razor    
   did a great job here, and their NFO shows that they took time in finding  
   the easiest way to install the program, pointing out that "we apologize   
   for any inconvenience this may cause you, but it is the only way we can   
   get this game to work." (speaking of the SUBST installation procedure)    
   Great work by Razor 1911, but does this really seem so hard?  PWA or DOD  
   could have just as easily taken another minute to properly describe       
   their releases.

       I'm sure that I've passed up many great releases merely because the   
   groups that released them didn't take that extra minute to let us know    
   what it is that they just released.  I have much greater respect for the  
   group whose releases I have yet to download because the descriptions      
   never interested me, than the group whose releases I always download,     
   just to find that I wasted my time as a result of them not taking the     
   time to tell me what they released.

     Subject : Prophet of Napalm, BUSTED!

       A few weeks ago, Napalm released Battle Arena Toshinden a few         
   minutes after Prestige released the same game.  Surprisingly, both        
   groups released identical cracks for the game which would lead one to     
   believe that one group must have stolen the crack from the other.         
   Prestige accused Prophet, a Napalm Leader, of stealing the crack, but     
   Prophet had a good enough reputation in the scene not to fall easily to   
   such atrocious accusations.  Even though Prestige had enough evidence to  
   show that Prophet did indeed steal the crack for Battle Arena Toshinden,  
   the general concesus was that Prophet would not have stooped so low.      
                                                                             
       Once again, Prophet is accused of stealing.  However, this time,      
   Prophet is not merely being accused of stealing a crack, Prophet is       
   accused of attempting to steal an entire game from the Epic cracker,      
   Sharp.  The following log file was made in channel #Napalm and should     
   shed light on the matter revealing the true character of Prophet and the  
   ideals of Napalm.  This time, the evidence is here.

       This shit is just fucking pathetic.  Is Napalm THAT desperate for

     Subject : Prestige & Dynamix - The REAL Story

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

     Subject : An Uncontroled IRC Op

       IRC ops were first created as a form of controlling what happens on   
   the IRC network so that things don't get out of hand, and when they do,   
   there would be a way of controlling it.  The definition of an IRC op is   
   a person that is an administrator of a certain IRC server, and has the    
   power to "kill" people or "k-line" people from the network.  A "kill" is  
   like a normal channel kick, but it will completely disconnect you from    
   the server you're on, meaning that you'll have to reconnect to it, a big  
   hassle.  A "k-line" is a banning of a user from a particular server.      
   Just as one can get banned from a channel, a person can get banned from   
   use of an IRC server.  IRC ops were meant to be regulatory agents of      
   IRC, but apparently many IRC ops have been greatly abusing their power,   
   breaking into others' channels by killing all the ops, and taking things  
   into their own hands, when they "feel" like it.                           
                                                                             
       Prae, an IRC op, entered channel #RCN when he had a problem with      
   Eraser.  Eraser was not even an op in channel #RCN.  #RCN was packed      
   with regular channel ops, assigned by the RCN staff to regulate the       
   goings-on in the channel, and it would in no way be the business of an    
   IRC op to join the channel and impose private regulations upon it.  RCN   
   is in no way illegal, we are merely excercising our freedom of speech,    
   and thus, at the time, we were in no violation of any of the rules        
   behind IRC, nor were we ever caught doing so in the past.  Though there   
   are no real written rules for IRC, nor is there a written constitution    
   for IRC ops to abide by, it takes just a bit of common sense to figure    
   out what they are, and not much more than that to figure out when an IRC  
   op is going over his understood boundaries.  In this incident, Eraser     
   and Prae started arguing, and Prae was asked to leave.  He was asked      
   about 5 times.                                                            
                                                                             
       When he finally had to be banned and kicked, he killed all channel    
   ops saying that they were bots.  Generally an IRC op will have to         
   justify kills and k-lines so that other IRC ops (to which all kills are   
   reported) would know if that op is going too far.  It's sort of a checks  
   and balances system, but obviously one that can easily be bypassed, and   
   since a jury of IRC ops is never present to assess a situation, it is     
   nearly impossible to do anything to fight back against these IRC ops      
   "gone bad."  I would like to say that I am not a bot.  Channel #RCN is    
   not a warez channel.  Prae was not provoked in anyway.  He was just       
   asked to leave, and next to a request such as that, Prae can be           
   juxtaposed with any other member of the IRC network, with no              
   distinction.                                                              
                                                                             
       After we got the channel back, he deopped us and took it again, once  
   more with no provocation.  There are about 35 witnesses to this that      
   agree it is abuse of his oper powers to take a channel because he isn't   
   welcome there.  Please take the time to at least read about how Prae      
   takes advantages of his position, and how he too, could once again, take  
   advantage of us all.

           are bringing personal emotions into the game, something you are

   <Hitex> Prae, yes if we slander upon you I ask that you take us to court  
           but slander has NOT been the case with you and in fact you are    
           just giving us more food to eat upon at the current moment.       
           Correct, and nor do you own us so just as you said to us, "Leave  
           me the fuck alone" I ask the same of you.  If I ever break a      
           rule on your server you will be quite welcome to ban me from      
           using it, but until I have done so, you have no right to express  
           your powers upon me.  Furthermore unless I am colliding or mass   
           flooding people you have no right to /kill me nor do you have     
           the right to deop people in my channel.  Now unless you cease     
           your immature behavior I see nothing to catalyze my ceasing to    
           publish information about your truthful actions.                  
                                                                             
   <Prae> Hitex, oh, you can publish this, I'd enjoy your readership         
          watching you wannabe journalists get shit on.  :)                  
                                                                             
   <Eraser> Prae, shut the fuck up, RCN has right to free speech.            
                                                                             
   <Prae> Of course you do, print what you like, but expect consequences.    
                                                                             
   <oDogg^17> When the newspaper prints bad things about the President or    
              the Senate, last time I checked, the President never took      
              over the newspaper building.                                   
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Prae, good.  Keep enjoying it but you give me no reason why I     
           have done anything against the rules of your server or IRC and    
           thus you have no backing for your actions here today.  Now you    
           have a responsibility to the rest of the IRC network to give      
           back the channel immediately.                                     
                                                                             
   <Prae> I make sooo many friends in the warez community.                   
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> This isn't even a warez channel.                              
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Prae, do you understand that you are currently in violation of    
           your privileges?                                                  
                                                                             
   <Prae> Hitex, the next time you find some 'IRC operator rules' that are   
          enforced by a 'governing body of efnet' let me know, ok?           
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Prae, you don't run a democracy on your server, but you are in    
           no control of the rest of IRC.                                    
                                                                             
   <Prae> Now, I'll give it back to its 'rightful' owners.

   <DaBoo> IRC ops are in no means, bigger than other IRC members.  They     
           have the ability to reroute servers and control users that abuse  
           the privelege of IRC, but they are in no way gods, etc.

   Session Start : Mon Jul 08 15:02:33 1996                                  
                                                                             
   <Prae> You can log this, if you'd like.  You are an idiot who likes to    
          dish it out but cannot take it, and you go crying to mommy         
          everytime someone fights back against your idiocy.  Wahh.          
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> I took it fine.  I am not crying mommy.  You should have      
               taken your problem up with the person who wrote that.         
                                                                             
   <Prae> You most certainly are.                                            
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> ALSO killing all ops for asking you to leave was wrong.       
                                                                             
   <Prae> The publisher is as responsible as the author, you know.  And you  
          are crying to mommy, no matter what *you* call it.                 
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> Doesn't matter, the letter didn't even say anything bad.      
               Whatever you say man.  :)                                     
                                                                             
   <Prae> I sent Rebel Chicken my response, you may want to read it.         
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> No thanks, I will see it in next issue I am sure.             
                                                                             
   <Prae> S'ok, I expect it to show up in RCN #22.  When is RCN #22          
          supposed to be out, anyhow?                                        
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> Sunday, always Sunday.

       The thing that makes me laugh the most is that Prae actually reads    
   RCN on a regular basis and, to my knowledge, nobody would do that if it   
   wasn't an enjoyable experience, so Prae must be a big fan of RCN.  If     
   anybody is the little baby here, it's Prae, going to his IRC ops when he  
   can't go to any worthwhile friends.

     Subject : The Speed Racer from Razor 1911!

       When you join a group, are you part of that group for life?  TSR      
   seems to think that when you join Razor 1911, that you are part of that   
   Razor indefinitely.  That of course, is only an opinion of Iron Man who   
   recently departed Razor and was blacklisted off some boards and sites     
   for doing so.  The following log file was made in channel #Prestige and   
   should be able to clear things up :

   <Rambone> TSR is an idiot because he believes he brought Razor 1911 to a  
             higher level.  But the truth is, he did nothing.  It was the    
             people behind him that did the work.  If it were not for them,  
             Razor 1911 would be just an ink spot.                           
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> I left Razor 1911 and TSR tried to be a hard ass about it by   
              nuking me from some boards and sites.                          
                                                                             
   <Immortal> No group is based on one person.  Rambone, you would have to   
              agree that PWA is the same.                                    
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Rambone, isn't that how all groups are run?  Isn't that why    
              leaders appoint people that do the work well?                  
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> Do you back him up and feel the same way, because I was        
              getting dicked around in Razor 1911.                           
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> I know in a second that Orion wouldn't say that he made PWA    
              the best utils group.  It's a group effort.                    
                                                                             
   <Immortal> Iron Man, he DID not boot you from boards because you were     
              leaving Razor 1911.  I believe it was a more PERSONAL issue.   
                                                                             
   <Rambone> Not with the bullshit he says to people.  You don't just cut    
             leaders out of a group.  TSR, speak up ya fuck.                 
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> TSR left dude.                                                 
                                                                             
   <Zeus> TSR has done a lot for Razor 1911.  Believe me, I know what he     
          does, or should I say, I know what he did.                         
                                                                             
   <SMaster> TSR makes me hard, er... maybe I shouldn't say that.            
                                                                             
   <Rambone> TSR has pulled a lot of penises.  I guess that's good.          
                                                                             
   <Immortal> Rambone, where do you get off bashing someone like that, show  
              your maturity level.                                           
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> Rom Racer, I paged TSR at least 3 or 4 times to discuss the    
              issue with him, he never called back.  I messaged Pitbull      
              like 25 times and like both of you said he didn't even reply.  
                                                                             
   <Immortal> Do you see TSR wasting his time even replying back?  Iron      
              Man, HE WAS MOVING.  He probably never had time to check his

   <Zeus> Could someone tell me who RAMBONE is?  He acts like he is in the   
          scene or something.                                                
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> TSR might do all that, but he's a liar!                        
                                                                             
   <SpeedMstr> Druidkin, it still gives him no right to fuck with one of     
               our guys like he is.                                          
                                                                             
   <Rom_Racer> Iron Man, how TSR handles his calls is none of my business.   
                                                                             
   <SMaster> I am all for being pissed at people who leave, but nuking       
             their board accounts is going too far.  Plus, TSR forgets that  
             people do NOT join groups for life and can leave if they like.  
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Speed Master, TSR didn't fuck with Iron Man when Iron Man was  
              Prestige, TSR just cleaned up old Razor 1911 buisness.         
                                                                             
   <Immortal> Speed Master, I believe it was a more personal issue, not a    
              Razor 1911 and Prestige issue.                                 
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Now, if you'd like to take it to a group level, I'll gladly    
              fight for Razor 1911, but this personal attack on TSR is so    
              petty and beneath me.                                          
                                                                             
   <SpeedMstr> TSR fucked with Iron Man even after he joined Prestige.       
                                                                             
   <SMaster> It was personal because Chris felt Iron Man had betrayed him    
             by joining another group.  Chris believed that Iron Man was     
             indebted to him for life.                                       
                                                                             
   <Rambone> TSR is of no need for Razor 1911.  Outvote him and get on with  
             a new leader.                                                   
                                                                             
   <SMaster> Druidkin, TSR is a friend of mine, but what he did to Iron Man  
             was pretty rough.                                               
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Rambone, you tend to forget that the whole group likes and     
              respects Chris.                                                
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> Exactly!  TSR was pissed because I left, but 50 times more     
              pissed because I joined Prestige.                              
                                                                             
   <Immortal> Rambone, why not have a vote in PWA and outvote you?  Does     
              that make sense?  You should think before you type.            
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> Druidkin, what lesson am I to learn?  Am I not allowed to      
              leave Razor 1911?                                              
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Iron Man, don't even begin to assume that you know what TSR    
              was thinking.                                                  
                                                                             
   <Rom_Racer> Iron Man, you learned group loyalty or you should have.       
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> I know what group loyalty is!  Razor 1911 has NO respect for   
              anyone in Razor 1911, look at Jester King!                     
                                                                             
   <SMaster> Druidkin, I know what Chris was thinking though.  Nonetheless,  
             removing accounts was mean spirited and petty, total            
             blacklisting is EVIL.                                           
                                                                             
   <SMaster> Razor 1911 said I wasn't loyal when I left, yet the only        
             reason I joined Razor 1911 was because I was retiring and TSR   
             asked me to join.                                               
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> Loyalty?  Why should I die with Razor 1911?  I would rather    
              take a promotion!                                              
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> Druidkin, I am in a quality group that respects their          
              couriers a lot more than Razor 1911 did!                       
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Iron Man, take it as a lesson well learned and deal with it,   
              move on, make your name Loyalty Iron.                          
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> What lesson is this Druikdin?  I have more loyalty for         
              Mortality and Prestige.                                        
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Then you've learned a lesson Iron Man, move forward and stop   
              dwelling on the past.  Personally, I'd ban you from channel    
              #Razor for being a whiney ass.                                 
                                                                             
   <Iron-Man> I had loyalty to Razor 1911, but when you get pissed on, you   
              tend to lose that loyalty.  Whiney ass?  I'm just proving a    
              point.

   <PForm> Someone in here probably already leaked it to RCN.                
                                                                             
   <Xwing> Arch-Vile, we're safe as long as we don't have anyone from that   
           stupid group RCN.                                                 
                                                                             
   <Supernaut> Arch-Vile, but if RCN prints this, then everyone will know    
               what Razor 1911 did.  Who has a log?                          
                                                                             
   <Arch-Vile> Dude, I didn't take a log.  Go ask someone who did.           
                                                                             
   <SpeedMstr> I never even got to argue with TSR.  As soon as TSR joined

       So here's my little story, the Sunday that RCN #21 was released, I    
   decided to go to bed early at around 9:00 pm because I just had a long    
   day of trading.  Then, at around 10:05 pm, erie.net (my Internet Service  
   Provider), calls my house and asks my brother...                          
                                                                             
   <Disgruntled Sysop> Is (my name) there?                                   
                                                                             
   <My Brother> No, he's sleeping.                                           
                                                                             
   <Disgruntled Sysop> I KNOW he's up, let me talk to him NOW!               
                                                                             
       My brother comes in and wakes me up.  I answer the phone and this     
   disgruntled bitch starts pissing and moaning about "Someone is making     
   fake accounts under my name."  She also threatens to sue me and shit.     
   So I say "Look lady, I've been sleeping since 9:00 pm and haven't been    
   on since 5:00.  Leave me alone!"  So she hangs up on me, I dial them up,  
   and I chat with the sysop...                                              
                                                                             
   *** SYSOP CHAT MODE ACTIVATED ***                                         
                                                                             
   <Sysop> Yes?                                                              
                                                                             
   <Me> You tell me what the hell is going on.                               
                                                                             
   <Sysop> Someone going by the name John Doe (my name ommited for safety)   
           and THEN kept making fake accounts on our system for over 15 to   
           20 minutes.                                                       
                                                                             
   <Me> Well, ask my family, I've been taking a nap since 9:00 pm.           
                                                                             
   <Sysop> OK, I think we already established that it might not have been    
           you, but it WAS someone using the same name.  So I did what I am  
           expected to do here and call the number listed and verify the     
           account.  We do that now for all trial accounts anyway before     
           any access is given.                                              
                                                                             
   <Me> What you did wasn't a nice friendly call to "verify" an account.     
        You threatened to sue me even though "I haven't been on since        
        5:00."                                                               
                                                                             
   <Sysop> I'm sorry you didn't find it friendly enough, but we've had       
           little kids continually calling and setting up bogus accounts     
           out of the phone book.  I was actually the friendliest you would  
           have found here because I just issued a warning and let you know  
           that if it WAS you, that you better stop.  Other sysops might     
           have handled it differently.  Soooo, if you aren't to blame,      
           then I suggest you just forget about it since you're not the      
           guilty party.  If you are, then you shouldn't do it again         
           because you could get into trouble.                               
                                                                             
   <Me> Well, I've put up with so much shiznit from you guys that I may be   
        moving to ncinter.net shortly.                                       
                                                                             
   <Sysop> If you feel that you would be better served, then I wouldn't      
           stop you from switching your account.  You might find that they   
           won't put up with much either.                                    
                                                                             
   *** Note : They think my friend hacked them.                              
                                                                             
   <Me> Whatever.  By the way, did that C program I sent you guys help in    
        finding that bug in your little security system??                    
                                                                             
   *** Note : About 3 minutes pass.                                          
                                                                             
   <Me> Still there?                                                         
                                                                             
   <Sysop> Yes, I am.  I am speaking to the billing person in the office     
           who happens to be one of the owners.  He agrees with me that I    
           did what I was supposed to do, and we don't care how many         
           accounts a person creates because we have to voice verify every   
           one before they are given any access.                             
                                                                             
   <Me> Well I just think next time if you're going to send some... what's   
        the word... "sysop trainee" to come flame me over the phone, they    
        could be a little bit more polite.                                   
                                                                             
   <Sysop> I'm not going to waste my time with you.

   I decided to cancel my account, and here's my cancellation email :

       After this billing month, I want to quit your crappy little BBS.      
                                                                             
       By the way, Hydro didn't hack your "firewall."  Just thought I would  
   let you guys know of another injustice that happened to another hacker    
   just minding his own business.

       For those of you that don't already know the story, I will go over    
   it in an attempt to clarify what is going on.  A short while ago, an old  
   group, ROR, decided to call it quits after having their releases banned   
   from all the big boards.  This was a result of their releases, as a       
   general statement, not working, or being releases nobody would use.       
   Tklp thought he would be smart and he renamed the group to Reflux,        
   taking in several new members.  His decision paid off, the scene          
   accepted Reflux and gave it another chance, still understanding that it   
   was basically the same thing.  On one of Reflux's first releases, they    
   put out "Bermuda Syndrome," a wonderful Windows 95 game.  However,        
   Bermuda Syndrome had already been released by FBI in November of last     
   year.  The game slipped through their dupe checking department.  Though   
   it caught many eyes and raised many eyebrows as a result of Reflux's      
   already marred reputation from ROR, people let it go when Manic, a        
   Reflux senior, released a text file (cheap trick for keeping it from      
   making it too far past the Internet ;-) apologizing for their mistake.    
   It was a respectable apology and was taken in a good way.  People         
   understood that people make mistakes, and these guys just made a lot of   
   them, this soon after the Quake scandal in which they just edited the     
   dates on files to make them look like a different release.                
                                                                             
       Today, another member of Reflux released the following text file      
   attempting to con the scene into believing that the release was in fact   
   NOT a dupe and that it should be regarded as a great release by this      
   already shaky group.  Note that I'm writing this article because Rebel    
   Chicken is falling out of his chair of laughter and is too amused to      
   write it himself.

   Here is Jda of RLX. I will try to keep it short: this TXT is to inform,   
   not about a poetry :P. A few days ago RLX released:                       
                                                                             
   - BERMUDA SYNDROME (c) CENTURY/BGM                                        
     a) main (50 disks);                                                     
     b) intro/outro add-on;                                                  
     c) speech/gfx add-on;                                                   
                                                                             
   In a 30 minutes it turned out that a group called US and FBI released     
   that game months ago. We were told we did a dupe. Our senior [-Manic-],   
   in order to save RLX's good name, released an official apology. That was  
   a right thing to do in that time, but now we want to explain *all*        
   details and get over this accident...                                     
                                                                             
   ...because in a fact BERMUDA SYNDROME was not a dupe. Here is how:        
                                                                             
   1. We have released *different* version, version 1.2. Just look at the    
      patch included in PATCH.ZIP on the first disk. Apart from this: the    
      old version had around 186 megs on CD, ours has around 220 megs. The   
      old release is in Russian, ours is in *English*. In our version the    
      dialogues are different also, when you look at the old release you     
      will see.                                                              
                                                                             
   2. The reasons for the above changes is that the game is about to be      
      released in the West. The game was written by Russians, and Western    
      people demanded changes (animations, dialogues, etc.). BERMUDA         
      SYNDROME is now being advertised in UK press, for example. So the old  
      release was just some kind of test version, and we have released the   
      final thing.                                                           
                                                                             
   3. Old release version was over 60 disks. In that times the disk limit    
      for a release was 30 or 40 disks, I do not remember, never mind. Now   
      it is 50 disks. Still *very* far from 60... SO THE OLD RELEASE SHOULD  
      BE TREATED AS NON-EXISTANT! This is just a simple logic: scene has     
      its rules and we have to listen to them. If disk limit is exceeded,    
      then release is a fuckup and noone should give a fuck about it.        
                                                                             
   In other words: RLX released *correctly* stripped version (not exceeding  
   the disk limit), in *proper* language (English speech and English         
   dialogues translated by our bro Alchemist), and in *latest* version       
   (1.2, which is supposed to be final).                                     
                                                                             
   The game would be GAME OF THE WEEK in Ionizer's Games Review, if not the  
   scene, which jumped on us screaming it is a dupe. This the simply the     
   best Windows'95-only game I ever saw, and we just cannot let it go. We    
   would not sacrifice a *very* hard work of a few people (ripping,          
   cracking, translating) just because of old, lame, 61 disk release of      
   Russian version.                                                          
                                                                             
   I can imagine a few you who now think to themselves: "Geez, fuck RLX,     
   they did a dupe, they cannot be trusted because of RoR's fuckups, they    
   cannot see the sad truth, they should be banned" etc. To those people     
   all I can say is: read my explanation again. Think about it. Do not be    
   biased.                                                                   
                                                                             
   And finally: the release was supplied by very close friend of game's      
   main programmer. Here is what his friend T0k, president of util group     
   SODOM, has to say about it:                                               
                                                                             
   "                                                                         
   Hi.                                                                       
                                                                             
   So, i wanna tell u someffin about this release from reflux... all u know  
   it was released from FBI... Bermuda Syndrome few months ago...  but:      
                                                                             
   1. 1st thing why u must belive me: `coz i know *PERSONALY* ppl from       
      company who coded this game, in russia, and i was 1st who get this     
      game... i mean i was 1st on scene who take it in hand, so, tell me     
      now, why the fuck, i need to release twice??? sure reflux released     
      new version of Bermuda! ask yourself, why i didn't i hear about this   
      game before??? if it is so fucking cool, as Ionizer write in review    
      about it??? i can tell u why... `coz "FBI" release shit...             
                                                                             
     -- non working version... like beta or someffin...                      
     -- without English patch... *russian language only*                     
     -- lame rip...                                                          
                                                                             
   that's why noone heard about this briliant game... IMHO best arcade game  
   for windows 95 for last few months. And when some ppl tell me the game    
   was nuked, `coz siteops or someone see JUST "BERMUDA SYNDROME" and        
   thinks that was a dupe... so... look, this release from reflux was realy  
   decent, and i'm glad to tell u, that most part of europen siteop, don't   
   nuke it, and understand that was good/new one, u'll see it when they run  
   it, and n`joy... so... in the future... if u wanna scream/nuke someffin,  
   just cheek it out 1st... and don't panic... ok, thats all this time.      
   thx.

   BERMUDA SYNDROME was *not* a dupe. Anyway, we are releasing this *final*  
   explanation just to clear things up, not to start a war or anything.      
   When you will be safely enjoying BERMUDA, knowing that it is OK release,  
   we will strike again with another game. Because that is what we are for.  
                                                                             
                                                                JdA/RLX      
                                                                             
 Ķ
                                                                             
       Now for the part where I tell you that this is complete bull shit     
   and should have actually been in Mad RCN because it's so amusing.  I      
   have great respect for Manic because he just got up and made an apology   
   to the scene for a mistake.  I'm sure the general concencus among Reflux  
   members upon finding out that they duped was a shiver here, a shiver      
   there, an "oh crap" here and another there.  Manic suppressed the fear    
   and just said the truth, apparently while JdA was coming up with a good   
   lie that he thought the scene would believe -- very unprofessional.       
                                                                             
       Obviously there are some huge leaps that JdA ignored while writing    
   his file.  Generally if a game company wants to release a new version of  
   a game, they'll do so and name the version 2.0.  That is, the game will   
   be a bit different, like JdA said.  However, this wasn't the case with    
   this game.  Perhaps the game was a different version, I could buy the     
   verison 1.2 business, after all I have no way of verifying it now, as 8   
   months is a bit late to go looking on sites, but if that's the case, and  
   if you could fit a patch on one disk, WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU JUST        
   RELEASE THE PATCH?                                                        
                                                                             
       Also, don't try to say the old release is non-existent, FBI never     
   agreed to any disk limit 8 months ago, and neither did ROR/RLX now,       
   because you guys were not invited to the meetings regarding it.  So       
   don't try to justify yourself by claiming others' faults.  If anybody's   
   release should be claimed non-existent, it's yours, because you're the    
   one that said you had one of your own guys translate the game, and last   
   I checked the warez scene releases software by the companies, not half    
   by the companies and half the group's work.  RLX is lucky because ROR     
   was granted a second chance, but don't expect old views of ROR to be      
   lost, you weren't granted a new life, just a new name and a second        
   chance.                                                                   
                                                                             
       Finally, if this hasn't convinced you yet, please explain the file    
   dates.  The file dates still said October 1995, which sounds a lot like   
   the FBI release.  You guys did a better job on the Quake cop out, at      
   least there you faked the dates, you didn't even do THAT for this         
   release.                                                                  
                                                                             
       I hate to break it to you but Reflux is already banned from Beyond    
   Akira, and I shudder to think about how many more boards that ban could   
   be extended to.  Next time take more responsibility for your actions.     
   And JdA, Manic has guts, you're just fluff.  Your group doesn't           
   necessarily represent you, but you always represent your group, and       
   you're making a fool out of Reflux.  I just hope that people will         
   disregard your lame excuse for a rebuttal and listen to Manic's one.      
   Reflux duped, they made an honest mistake, and did more than most groups  
   would after a dupe, they apologized.

       It might sound kind of weird to pick a machine over your friends but  
   to some of us, that's reality.  How many of you spend more time on your   
   computer than seeing your friends or talk to your friends?  In the old    
   days, you'd ask a friend for help when you were feeling upset.  Nowadays  
   you just start couriering your head off and you keep your problem to      
   yourself.  That's not healthy!  I bet that most of you don't even need    
   most of the stuff that you download!  Maybe you'll want the odd game,     
   maybe a ten mes release or so but comparing to the useless stuff you've   
   couriered, it's nothing.  At this rate, no one will even speak by the     
   year 2000!  Think about it!  When you have a problem, talk about it with  
   someone.  Don't just type "/msg ???-DCC xdcc send #1"!                    
                                                                             
       I remember when I had a girlfriend, she would sometimes ask me, "Is   
   that box really important to you?"  I would just laugh and avoid the      
   question.  After all, what can I say?  Should I say, "Yes, it's more      
   important than you!"  Or should I say, "Nah, I don't even use it that     
   much!"?                                                                   
                                                                             
       There's one thing you have to remember, you bought the computer and   
   the computer is owned by YOU.  Computers can be part of your life but     
   shouldn't take over your life.  If you're bored then fool around on the   
   computer but if you've got something to do, do it!  Don't play IRC and    
   not do what you have to do.  Life's short, have fun!  Sex, party,         
   movies, more sex is far more interesting than looking at the scene that   
   changes images every second.                                              
                                                                             
       Being a courier myself, sometimes I ask.  "Why do I courier?"  The    
   answer is often unknown.  People courier because of different reasons.    
   Some people will be happy if they have fast warez to upload.  Some        
   people just do it because they have nothing better to do.  Some people    
   might think that couriers are jerks that have no life and just sit in     
   front of the computer and wait for uploads and downloads to be done.  I   
   have three words for these people, "Shame on you!"  Without these         
   people, the files would not move around nearly as quickly as they do      
   now, and also, if there were no couriers in the world, the warez scene    
   would not grow as quickly as it has.                                      
                                                                             
       My friend always tells me that I have no life when couriering and I   
   say, "What is meant by no life, if it's not going out, then I do have a   
   life because I go out with my friends a hell of a lot more than you!"     
   You don't have to be in front of the computer when you courier, you can   
   be watching TV, going out with friends, having sex.  Even studying if     
   you're bored enough!  So next time you want to insult a courier, not      
   like anyone would have the guts to because there are millions of          
   couriers out there, just think twice about it.

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

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

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

       Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review!   
   Here I will be reviewing the 5 best games release groups in the scene.    
   Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!      
   It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you     
   will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity.  Let's      
   review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases.  The following    
   is the scoring basis I'll be using :                                      
                                                                             
   Points :                                                                  
   --------                                                                  
                                                                             
   [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72      
        hours.  The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack  
        or fix, even beyond the 3 day period.

       A group may lose points the following week and have their releases    
   labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points).  If the    
   group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit   
   accordingly.  If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the        
   game will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the   
   3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned.  If a group    
   releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3  
   points back, but get no more.  Betas may receive no more than 3 points.

       RATINGS are based on the game idea, graphics, sound, playability,     
   ingenuity, versatility, and a lot of other words ending in 'ity.'  These  
   games are based on what happens on MY COMPUTER ONLY, unless stated        
   otherwise.  I always first follow NFO directions, and if those don't      
   work or are not available, I then try other ways.  So just b/c it         
   doesn't work for me, doesn't mean it won't work for you.

       18 CLASSIC CASINO GAMES FOR WINDOWS

       Like it says, this is 18 casino like games for windows.  The          
   graphics start off shitty, but you can change them so that they look      
   like they came from this century.  Some of the games include the          
   following: 7 Card Stud, Bandit, Blackjack, Craps, Dayraces, Draw 5        
   Poker, Holdem, Keno, Lotto, One Arm Bandit, Pot of Gold, Roulette, and    
   Video Poker.  It certainly is not that nice collection of card games      
   that you are looking for.  Dull and boring.  Here is an alternative       
   review courtesy of Tornado, I thought it was slightly humorous : "Well    
   the games are playable.  The games are 16 colors all of them.  They       
   aren't registered.  You have a 30 day trial period which is fine because  
   you can't even play this crap that long.  Basically it's for idiots or    
   just for people that like any game."

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

       Huh, uhh.....uhhhh..shit, uhhh..well, er...umm...hm.  Shit hold on,   
   let me get some words to describe this, then I can form a sentence.  Ok   
   let's go, garbage, shit, crap, junk, stupid, dumb, ugly, slow, boring,    
   retarded, lame, wtf, idiots.  Ok now to use my language skills from 4th   
   grade : The idiots who designed this stupid, dumb, crappy, game are a     
   bunch of retarded, lame, slow learning, morons.  I mean wtf is this       
   boring junk?  It's got this stupid planet, I think it's called Earth or   
   something, and you click on the target thing on an area, then all of a    
   sudden your the shit head alien up in some fucking spaceship with all     
   those annoying bleeps and shit.  I click on him twice and then the        
   faggot rubs some pussy or some button, whatever it was, and then the      
   pussy/button has an orgasm and gets all wet and turned green.  Then I     
   couldn't find any other pussy's or things like it to touch, except the    
   exit button.  The exit shit said this was disk 1 of 11 missions.  I BEG   
   OF YOU (RELEASE GROUPS), DO NOT PUT ANY MORE OF THIS GARBAGE OUT, SPARE   
   US!  If you really want it, then go tell your mom to give you 5 bucks     
   and you can go buy the cool ID4 action hero and get the free mission      
   disk.  This game has very little resemblance to the movie, other than     
   there is an alien flying a ship, and that the game is some crap packaged  
   with the action figures from the movie.

       Pal?  Wasn't that from a B&B episode, like Positive Acting Losers or  
   some shit?  Stupid dickheads!  Didn't say that this was chinese or        
   whatever language it's in.  Anyway, from what I was able to do, which is  
   little because a lot of it is dialogue between characters, it's an rpg    
   game.  The gameplay is the kind where you walk into different rooms with  
   an eagle eye view.  So, unless you can speak whatever language this is    
   in, don't bother.

       The game play is very similar to that chinese RPG, what was it        
   called, oh, Knights of Xentar.  You walk around the village and stuff     
   trying to do something, who knows what.  The storyline is long and,       
   well, slightly complicated, but the intro tells it nicely.  The nfo says  
   it's like Zelda, it is, but unlike with the rectangle type areas, it's    
   just all open.  You're going to have to use the defined keys, Z and X     
   for left and right, and P and L for up and down, spacebar for shooting    
   weapons.  Game is overall lame, and would require hours upon hours to     
   beat it.  The sound and gfx are pretty primitive.

       This 202 meg, fully installed, game is worth it...if you like         
   playing the detective type and have the room.  The game is mostly a       
   combination of a picture backgrounds with movies of people as the         
   interaction.  The video animation isn't of high quality, but it does the  
   job.  Game's got a lot of zooming in on areas as the way of picking up    
   stuff and/or using things.  There's tons of stuff to do, and I'd          
   estimate it would take about 10 hours to beat the game if you walked      
   right through it with a walkthrough.  Otherwise it would probably take    
   several days, cuz it looks like a biggy.  The story line is this : Your   
   g/f tells you to meet her somewhere, you go there, hear shots, find her   
   dead, and while your over her, someone takes a picture and gives it to    
   the police, so they think your the murderer, and so your on the run.  If  
   you got the time to play it, it could be worth checking out, other wise,  
   stick to something smaller.

       Lemmings Paintball for Win95.  Let's see here.  This game was         
   supposedly released earlier by Hybrid, but apparently that version was a  
   beta, or a release meant for computer magazines and far from complete.    
   The game idea is simple if you can put 2 and 2 together, Lemmings +       
   Paintball.  The game is cool, but relatively easy.  It has a multiplayer  
   for playing over the net, but is otherwise very easy or very hard         
   depending on the settings.  The intro is hilarious, and I'm glad Motiv8   
   left it in.  Overall, a good small game with a good rip.                  
                                                                             
                    RATING : 80/100 (If you like Lemmings)                   
           RATING : 74/100 (If you have another person to play with)         
              RATING : 60/100 (If you don't like Lemmings at all)

       Ok, it's Sim City.. Yup. Big deal.. Oh wait, it's over a network.     
   Umm yeah ok, big deal there too.  Same old, same old.  It does have ok    
   graphics and stuff though.  It can use any of Win95's network protocols   
   and so forth.  I couldn't get it to let me play by myself very easily, I  
   think I had to select a net protocol and let it time out or something.    
   Don't remember, don't care.                                               
                                                                             
     Points: 40 - Forget this one unless you really have a desire to play

       Install Note: This game was previously screwed, but a fix was         
   released (finally..) after about 8 days.  Thanks to PSG for fixing the    
   screwup! Just install according to the .nfo in the fixfile.  If ya get    
   something to the effect of: "wing32.dll not found" you need to install    
   WinG32 included with the fix.  DUH! :)                                    
                                                                             
       Hmmm.  I like it.  Dunno why, but I like it.  This isn't an action    
   shooter, but gameplay is fast - due to the virus on your ass wanting to   
   eat you up!  It's more strategy than anything.  Ya gotta move from block  
   to block laying down tiles to walk on top of as you go.  Simple enough.   
   HA! You get a limited amount of tiles AND your previous tiles get eaten   
   as you go.  There's some special kinds of tiles that do different         
   things, and you can grab power up items on your way to the end of the     
   level.  The music rocks with a techno rhythm, and there's clear           
   understandable speech at the beginning of each level.  The graphics are   
   excellent but don't stop to admire them! There's even pan/zoom options    
   to move the view around the game area.                                    
                                                                             
     Points: 82 - All in all, not a bad game.  It's definately different.

   Ok, now this fix all by itself doesn't work.  I was highly pissed off     
   about it too, until Ionizer, Mr.  Ereet himself /msg'd me this in IRC:    
   *** Topic for #napalm: Close Combat Fix - ATTRIB -R *.* /S on the         
   Install Directory. FINALLY, after all this fiddlefucken around, the game  
   works.                                                                    
                                                                             
       So, to install: Do everything according to the original .nfo (copy    
   this fixed .exe instead of the original cracked one), then in the dir     
   you ran setup from type "attrib -R *.* /S", try to run the game, when it  
   craps out load up regedit and do that, then PLAY!                         
                                                                             
       As for the game itself, it pretty much kicks ass.  This isn't your    
   run of the mill overhead military battle sim.  In most sims, you put      
   troops here, hit a button, and poof they either win or lose.  In this     
   one, you can control your troops even after starting the battle (like     
   you should be able to), and even tell specific people to do specific      
   things (move here, aim there, etc..) You can be either side too.          
   Germany pretty much defends and the good ole USA tries to take            
   buildings, landmarks, whatever (umm what? so they can give em back        
   later??) Your troops can get medals, promotions, etc for getting shot,    
   or good work.  I was kinda disappointed that I couldn't call in           
   airstrikes, but we got old fashioned mortar maggots to do the job right.  
   The sounds were excellent, you hear alot of shit all at once, ppl         
   getting shot, radio chatter, mortar fire, tanks, and even a little        
   german mixed in..  The help file wasn't included, but there is on-screen  
   help during gameplay and alot of the stuff is self explanitory.  Don't    
   hit the news reel button after a mission either, it'll crap out looking   
   for the video files.  I only played through the first mission (I've       
   still got 3 releases to review in about 9 hours, WHILE leechin my ass     
   off..ughh), but this is definitely a keeper!                              
                                                                             
             Points : 83 - Get this and play this.  It's worth it!

   Remember that old 2600 game Decathalon? heh Not quite that bad.  But in   
   some ways, I think the Atari ver beat this one hands down.  Ok, this has  
   nice grafix and all, and you can design your chr's attributes, but the    
   actual gameplay was pretty crappy.  There just aren't enough controls.    
   I was expecting a "fry out 2 joysticks in 8 hours" type of game, but all  
   you do is click the mouse when your dude is sposed to do something (like  
   jump, or throw..) Not a whole lot to say about this, pretty boring.       
   Note: something screwy went on with the sounds, cuz during play, it       
   would play sounds from a directX game called Subspace I play over the     
   net..  Dunno??                                                            
                                                                             
         Points : 51 - The only semi-redeeming quality was the grafix.

   Seeing releases like this makes me wonder why in hell I leech 50 disk     
   games. One disk for this one.  Period.  Before you come at me with the    
   "awww come on, it's LEMMINGS" line, take a look at this game.  There's    
   new levels and all the old ones too, good sound, good graphics (Lemmings  
   STYLE!), and can be played doing anything in windows (I was leechin in    
   QmodemPro while playing this, not one error).  Options include sound      
   on/off, level select, high/low rez, zoom, and a couple others.            
                                                                             
       *><* Uninstall: It's a bitch.  If you don't care about having         
   "Lemmings.." in the add/remove box for the rest of your life, don't       
   worry about it.  I do care so..  You have to copy all files from          
   \progra~1\winlemm to \lemmings, then move \lemmings\gfx\logo.bmp to       
   \lemmings\pblogo.bmp and then finally type autorun in the \lemmings dir.

   basketball.  Oh, wait, did I mention they're pinball games? And they      
   suck?

       Install : Nasty.  Not only do you have to do the fakecd thing for     
   the install, you have to do it everytime you wanna play the game.  Pure   
   shit.  I think that if you don't have a cracker, you shouldn't release.   
   Period.                                                                   
                                                                             
       Anyway, about the game..  This game ran kinda choppy on my system     
   (see system info at top).  But if it was just choppy, I might play it a   
   little bit, but after about a grand total of 3 fights, this one got       
   nuked.  The grafix weren't all that great, and the sounds were rather     
   annoying too.  Read the readme file in the program icon folder for the    
   setup keys and shit.  It's got a couple different rez modes (don't look   
   at the low rez mode, you'll get scared), and you can turn textures        
   on/off.  Just a shit release, everything pretty much sucked.              
                                                                             
          Points : 35 - Shitty grafix, shitty sound, shitty install..

   Ionizer's comment : Reflux admitted to this being a dupe and apologized   
                       for the mistake.   We include the review for those    
                       who may have not got it the 1st time it was out.

       "On 7/12/96 REFLUX duped Bermuda Syndrome.  We were not aware of the  
   61 disk version that was released, apparently it slipped through our      
   dupe checking.   We would like to apologize to the scene for making this  
   mistake, we admit we made a mistake, and would like to apologize.         
   MANiC, RLX SENIOR"                                                        
                                                                             
       This is one of the best games I've seen for 95 so far.  The only      
   thing I don't like is it being 50 disks, but ya get what ya leech I       
   guess (hrmm sometimes).  The grafix on this kicks a helluvalotta ass.     
   Smooth animation..  I take that back, it's somehow better than smooth.    
   It kinda reminds me of Pitfall for 95 but extremely realistic.  The       
   soundtrack from what I heard of it, has a damn hard beat to it.  Kicked   
   my AWE and woofers into overdrive.  The plot starts out with you saving   
   this half naked chic (w00h00) and finding out that you have to get out    
   of the jungle alive while saving her father, who just happens to be the   
   king.  hmm Maybe I'll play this game to the end to see if ya get to bang  
   her or not..  Just way too much good stuff to say about this game tho.    
   In case you can't figure it out, try the tab, enter, and space keys.      
   The mouse works as a pointer, but the right button takes ya back to the   
   main menu.  No real options to speak of, I do wish that it would go full  
   screen at 800x600, but I ain't bitchin much, cuz this game ROCKS!         
                                                                             
           Points : 91 - Leech this, and burn the install to CDRom!

   - Bermuda Syndrome is not eligible, and therefore can not win (that's     
     what it means to be not eligible).  The GOTW goes to NAPALM for CLOSE   
     COMBAT.  The win95 review pretty much says it all.  If it's over rated  
     you can go blame pathos.  For a good quick laugh this week, you can     
     download NAPALM's ID4: THE GAME, it sucks really bad!

   - Thanks to Scribe and _HR_ for their efforts in trying to satisfy me     
     with a TGR logo, but I'm very picky ;)                                  
   - I *ENCOURAGE* feedback from all readers on every change I make with     
     TGR.  If you have any comments, please do write, you won't be ignored.  
     Please make sure you write to me about how you like the new (and        
     improved) review section dealing with the win95 games.                  
   - That's it for this week, hope it was of help.

       Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review!   
   Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene.    
   Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!      
   It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you     
   will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity.  Let's      
   review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases.  The following    
   is the scoring basis I'll be using :                                      
                                                                             
   Points :                                                                  
   --------                                                                  
                                                                             
   [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72      
        hours.  The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack  
        or fix, even beyond the 3 day period.                                
                                                                             
   [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware,

   [ 3] Average,                                                             
                                                                             
   [ 4] Above Average, and                                                   
                                                                             
   [ 5] Excellent!                                                           
                                                                             
       A group may lose points the following week and have their releases    
   labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points).  If the    
   group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit   
   accordingly.  If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the        
   util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the   
   3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned.  If a group    
   releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3  
   points back, but get no more.  Betas may receive no more than 3 points.

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

       Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review!   
   Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene.    
   Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!      
   It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you     
   will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity.  Let's      
   review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases.  The following    
   is the scoring basis I'll be using :                                      
                                                                             
   Points :                                                                  
   --------                                                                  
                                                                             
   [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72      
        hours.  The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack  
        or fix, even beyond the 3 day period.                                
                                                                             
   [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware,

   [ 5] Excellent!                                                           
                                                                             
       A group may lose points the following week and have their releases    
   labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points).  If the    
   group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit   
   accordingly.  If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the        
   util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the   
   3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned.  If a group    
   releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3  
   points back, but get no more.  Betas may receive no more than 3 points.

       Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review!   
   Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene.    
   Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!      
   It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you     
   will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity.  Let's      
   review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases.  The following    
   is the scoring basis I'll be using :                                      
                                                                             
   Points :                                                                  
   --------                                                                  
                                                                             
   [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72      
        hours.  The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack  
        or fix, even beyond the 3 day period.                                
                                                                             
   [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware,

   [ 3] Average,                                                             
                                                                             
   [ 4] Above Average, and                                                   
                                                                             
   [ 5] Excellent!                                                           
                                                                             
       A group may lose points the following week and have their releases    
   labeled as broken (thus receiving the proper amout of points).  If the    
   group has released a fix between the two issues, we'll give them credit   
   accordingly.  If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the        
   util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the   
   3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned.  If a group    
   releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3  
   points back, but get no more.  Betas may receive no more than 3 points.

   1.) C-4 or something that blows when electricity hits it,                 
   2.) 5 Minutes,                                                            
   3.) the IQ at least the weight of your cock,                              
   4.) and a cock to measuer your IQ.                                        
                                                                             
       Okay, be sure you know someone you absolutely HATE.  Now go to their  
   house (do that by maybe pretending you like them and get invited for      
   dinner).  Then ask to see if you can use the bathroom.  Oh, by the way,   
   bring your C-4 (or some other stuff) before you go over their house.      
   Okay, when your in the bathroom, see if there's a blow drier in the       
   bathroom.  If there is, you're in LUCK!  See if you can unscrew the       
   front of the blow drier.

       After you take it off (if you can, if you can't don't keep on         
   reading), put the C-4 inside it, so it touches the metal part.  Then      
   screw the part you took off back on.  Then go back and finish your        
   dinner with your enemy and his mom.                                       
                                                                             
   Note : I have NEVER tried this berfore, so this may not werk.  Here's an  
          update, hey, I don't know if the C-4 can get electricity by        
          putting it on the metal piece screen thing.  So if you can, TAKE   
          the metal piece screen thing OFF, and put the C-4 in side it.      
                                                                             
   Blowing Up the Toilet

   1.) C-4 or something that blows when electricity hits it,                 
   2.) a rocket launcher, you know, the ones that come with the models,      
   3.) a power outlet,                                                       
   4.) wire cutters,                                                         
   5.) and an extension cord                                                 
                                                                             
       Look at your rocket launcher, it should have a status light and a     
   button and maybe more stuff.  Take the batteries out of the launcher.     
   Then cut the extension cord in have so this is what is lefted of it :     
             _                                                               
           -| \________________________________                              
           -|_/--------------------------------                              
                                                                             
       There should be wires inside.  Now use a knife and shave off one      
   inch of the rubber covering (reminds me of something) so that the wire    
   is protruding.  Put wire on the positive side of the launcher battery     
   case and some on the negative side of the launcher battery case.          
                                                                             
       Leave a couple wires hanging so they aren't connected to anything     
   yet.  Then use those wires and insert them in the C-4.  C-4 should then   
   be carefully placed at the hood of the toilet at the bottom right.  Then  
   use the tape and tape it on the bottom and the top of the launcher to     
   the bottom left of the hood.  Now take the plug and hold it toward the    
   outlet.  Be sure not to pull out the wires when holding it.  Now gently   
   let it hang.  Now again gently put the hood on so the hood bottom left    
   is on the left corner closest toward you.  In other words, it's above     
   the flusher handle.  Now plug in the cord and get the hell out of there.  
   Don't take a shit there or it'll be your last shit.

   How to Burn a Guy's ASS                                                   
   -----------------------                                                   
                                                                             
   Materials                                                                 
   ---------                                                                 
   1.) 1/5 cup of acid                                                       
   2.) and an ASS (not yours).                                               
                                                                             
       Okay, just put the acid right before they're gonna go.  So when they  
   gotta go (assuming you're over their house), say you wanna go first.      
   Then stay there for 2 minutes doing my directions.                        
                                                                             
       Just go in the bathroom and carry this acid in a container of some    
   sort.  Then go through their cabinets and find yourself gloves.  If you   
   can't find gloves then do this, pour the acid around the BACK of the      
   toilet.   If you have gloves, it's much better (hurt them more), use the  
   gloves and dip your finger in the container.  Then put that drop of acid  
   some where on the seat.  Keep on doing that until you're able to cover    
   the whole seat.  The 1/5 is so that the guy shitting will not notice the  
   acid until it burns.  But he still might not be able to figure why his    
   ass burns.

       Okay, this section is good because you get money, LOTS of money.      
   Well, this section here is a story, not a "How to", but just follow what  
   I do, or vary it, and you'll do fine.  Here goes...                       
                                                                             
       I needed money, and I needed it FAST.  I wanted to buy some           
   hardware.  My computer was getting more and more out dated each DAY.      
   New stuff were coming in, and the old were just discarded.  I'd search    
   for money under the couch... only pennies.  In my drawers... dimes here.  
   Then I thought of using my computer.  By the way, I know what your        
   thinking.  I'll answer it right now.  No this is not one of those         
   "Fill-out-the-form-as- number-10-and-send-in-$10-and-be-rich" deals, so   
   listen up.  I knew of this room on AOL.  It was called "Carding".         
   People use Credit Cards, which is other people's of course, and buy       
   hardware, software, sluts, anything you can think up (even a car!).       
                                                                             
       Some didn't want to go to the trouble of doing it, because they fear  
   they might get caught, so they BUY carded stuff.  A Pentium 133 mhz with  
   2.5 gigs and the whole works, for $500 is a good deal.  They send listed  
   out to people who go in the room.  I made a list, and did the same        
   thing, the list was big, the bigger, the more it'll be convincing.  The   
   deal was, send me half the money, get the product, send me the rest.  I   
   gave them my carding site (a neighbor's home, which they have gone out    
   for the weekend, or for vacation), and they sent the money, I took the    
   money, and never replied back.  I made TONS of money that way.  Follow    
   me, and do it.  If they say, "I'm gonna report you to the police!", you   
   can reply, "Like I care, what can they do to me?  You went and tried to   
   buy illegal stuff."                                                       
                                                                             
   Ripping Phones Off                                                        
   ------------------                                                        
                                                                             
   Note : Blueboxes can't do shit no more, so if you're trying, the only     
          thing you'll get is the cool hardware, handcuffs.                  
                                                                             
       Call 0 and wait for the operator to come on.  Say, "I'm at LaLaLand,  
   and I keep putting in my quarters.  They keep coming back.  I need to     
   tell my Mom/Dad/Aunt/whoever where to pick me up, and what time.  Can     
   you put me through?  This is an Emergency!"  They'll say, "Okay sure,"    
   tell them the number, and they'll dial it.  Then you go through.  Nice,   
   eh? If the operator says to use collect, say "Okay", and hang-up.  Dial   
   0 again and try your luck again.  I've done this at the airport.  Very    
   nice.  Many operators give away many free calls.  :)                      
                                                                             
   Another way :                                                             
   -------------                                                             
                                                                             
       This is the same way as ripping off Coke machines.  Get a train       
   schedule, go to the tracks five minutes before it comes.  Get TONS of     
   nickels and lay them on the tracks.  Wait for train to run over them.     
   After, pick them up.  They should be flat pieces of metal now.  Notice    
   how they are the size of quarters.  Now use them!                         
                                                                             
   How to Get Money FROM Payphones                                           
   -------------------------------                                           
                                                                             
       You must select a phone that you can have access to its wires.  Look  
   for a plastic shroud running down the wall, or the junction box outside!  
   On a normal phoneline, only two wires are used, ring and tip (red and     
   green).  The payphone uses the red and green for its telephone            
   operations, but it also uses the yellow and black to control the coin     
   mechanism.  Find a section of the wire where a cut will not be easily     
   seen.  Strip off the insulation of the cord, exposing the four wires.     
   Now, get out the all purpose wire cutters or finger nail clippers if you  
   like, and cut the black and yellow wires.  Now just sit back and let      
   people use the phone!                                                     
                                                                             
       What Happens?  Well, when you put money into a payphone, it stays in  
   the coin mechanism until one of two things happen.  Either you connect    
   your call, talk, and hangup; after you hangup, your money goes to the     
   collection box.  The only way to get the money then is to rip the box     
   out!  Or, you call a number that doesn't answer, or get busy signal, or   
   something like that, and then hangup.  When you hangup, the money goes    
   from the coin mechanism to the coin return.                               
                                                                             
       That is the key!  After the black and yellow wires have been cut,     
   the money goes neither to the coin box or coin return!  It just sits      
   there!  All you have to do is come back at like 3:00 am in the morning,   
   reconnect the black & yellow wires, pick up the handset and put it back   
   down.                                                                     
                                                                             
       All the money that was put in that phone that day comes shooting out  
   the coin return, just like in the movies!  It is the COOLEST FEELING!  I  
   have collected up to $100 a day doing this to phones all around town!     
                                                                             
       There are some dangers to doing this.  The people that put money in   
   and don't get connected or get a busy signal and hang up do NOT get       
   their money back.  Usually they will call the operator who in turn calls  
   the repair department.  That is why it is important to cut the wire       
   where it cannot be seen.  But if you want to do this as a one time        
   thing, GO FOR IT!  Oh yes, alternate phones every other couple of days    
   or so.  Stay on your toes and watch out for white vans!  If someone sees  
   you taking money out of the coin return like getting $15 in change out    
   of a phone is not common!  Just say you hung up the phone and all this    
   money started pouring out!  It doesn't hurt to give them a little of it   
   either!  After a month or two the phone companies catch on, so I do not   
   recommend using one phone for over two weeks.

       Salting Soda machines is a fast, easy way of making small amounts of  
   money and getting free sodas.  Here are the materials that you will need  
   to do it :                                                                
                                                                             
       1.) Salt (About a big handfull is enough)                             
                                                                             
       2.) Some soda (Squirt is best, but Sprite and Coke will work)         
                                                                             
       3.) Something to get the mixture into the soda machine. (I like to    
           use a ziplock bag or a balloon.)                                  
                                                                             
       4.) A soda machine located where nobody is around.                    
                                                                             
       First off, you will need to find a soda machine where nobody is       
   around.  I use one down at the far corner of my High School because       
   nobody ever goes down there.  Now to salt the machine, you will need to   
   mix up the Soda (Squirt is best, because it's more acidic) with the salt  
   in a plastic ziplock bag, and close it.  Make a hole in one of the        
   corners of the bag, (in the opposite end of where the bag closes) and     
   shake the bag so the soda and salt mix together.  Now put the end of the  
   corner with the hole in it in the dollar bill slot in the soda machine.   
   Squeeze the bag so the mixture comes out into the dollar bill slot.  It   
   usually takes a 5-10 seconds of squirting it in before you hear a click   
   and a whole bunch of quarters come out the coin return.  So now you have  
   about 4-5 bucks in quarters.  Well press one of the soda buttons and a    
   soda or two should come out.  Now you've got about 5 bucks and a couple   
   free sodas.  Damn you could make a living off this shit.                  
                                                                             
       I recommend covering up your tracks when you are done.  If you made   
   an obvious mess, then you should clean it up a little.  You dont have to  
   clean the whole fucking machine spotless, but just wipe the salt off.     
   This trick is cool because it wont fuck up the soda machine or anything,  
   so you can do it as many times as you want.  Have phun.

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

       Well..  I guess there is a limit.  But everone goes over it           
   sometimes.  On one release we did, I spent 40 hours online.  No sleep,    
   didn't leave the computer except for food.  That was a bit over the       
   line.  But yes, people should use the Internet for some fun then get      
   away for a while.

       How much time online is TOO much?  Well, perhaps when your eyes are   
   burning, the phone bill is getting multi-numberous (unless your using a   
   calling card or some other methods), when your mom is kicking your        
   behind, your dad is punching your teeth out, your sister is yelling at    
   you... well... so what!?!  I like to spend a lot of time online, and I    
   pay for it.  I'm not that kind of guy which uses CCs and stuff, I just    
   work and earn a little money and waste it on the Internet in minutes.     
                                                                             
       Sometimes I even wonder if I'm just *wasting* my money...  but the    
   answer is "no."  I feel a kind of attached to the warez-scene , like a    
   mafia group or something... and money isn't gonna stop me from getting    
   my job done.

   <Aquarius> (January 21 to February 19) : You have too much going for you  
              to be stopped by a minor setback.  In fact, a careful reading  
              between the lines could bring you major gains.  Recognize      
              your superiors, a partner, or a close companion, and take      
              nothing for granted.

            group enterprise beckons, and it is up to you to weigh the       
            possible benefits against the potential hazards.  Monday's New   
            Moon in the recreational angle of your solar chart will give     
            you a much-needed chance to hone your talents as a team player.  
                                                                             
   <Aries> (March 21 to April 20) : An encounter with someone or something   
           from the past may necessitate a change of plans, but the rewards  
           will be worth any temporary inconvenience.  An unexpected treat   
           mid-week will help you forget a recent disappointment.  Postpone  
           major decisions about joining or leaving a group until Mercury    
           and Saturn unite next weekend.                                    
                                                                             
   <Taurus> (April 21 to May 21) : Confusion over group arrangements and     
            policies may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.  What        
            transpires around the time of Monday's New Moon will enable you  
            to enlist the support of someone close to you.  Don't ignore a   
            stray remark.                                                    
                                                                             
   <Gemini> (May 22 to June 21) : You may have trouble keeping pace this     
            week, especially after your ruler Mercury switches signs on      
            Tuesday.  This is the perfect time to streamline your day to     
            day routine, but first find out what a loved one has planned.    
            Don't push, tact will serve your purposes better.                
                                                                             
   <Cancer> (June 22 to July 23) : A new chapter is about to open and you    
            must be ready to juggle existing commitments if you're going to  
            make the most of opportunities.  Monday's New Moon in your       
            birth sign means that you are the one best positioned to call    
            the shots.  Be wary of unsolicited advice.                       
                                                                             
   <Leo> (July 24 to August 23) : There appear to be too many distractions   
         in your life just now, and too many demands on your time.  Once     
         Mercury enters your birth sign on Tuesday, you will be better       
         placed to tackle a personal or professional problem.  Put off a     
         new project until the end of the week.                              
                                                                             
   <Virgo> (August 24 to September 23) : Celestial configurations affecting  
           your ruler Mercury will enable you to concentrate on your         
           material and emotional needs.  A romantic liaison or creative     
           venture may have surprising results.  Don't be afraid to wave     
           goodbye to a familar channel or group.  It will be replaced by    
           something far more rewarding.                                     
                                                                             
   <Libra> (September 24 to October 23 ) : The sky's the limit, and          
           Monday's New Moon at the midheaven point of your solar chart      
           will help you fulfill a longtime promise to yourself.  That       
           said, however, be prepared to look beneath the surface.           
                                                                             
   <Scorpio> (October 24 to November 22) : You seem to be becoming           
             increasingly involved with other people's problems and would    
             do well to take a few steps back.  Your ruler Pluto, supported  
             by Mercury on Tuesday, is giving you a chance to resolve a      
             group matter.  Make the most of it.                             
                                                                             
   <Sagittarius> (November 23 to December 21) : At last you are in position  
                 to make a decision that is long overdue.  Some alterations  
                 may be required as time passes, but for the moment, just    
                 get things going.  A change of scenery is possible now,     
                 but be sure you're moving on for the right reasons.         
                                                                             
   <Capricorn> (December 22 to January 20) : Someone important is trying to  
               attract your attention, but you need to respond cautiously.   
               Meanwhile, an issue with your warez affiliates must be        
               resolved before your ruler, Saturn, shifts direction on       
               Thursday.

               something?  Wait, didn't you guys run Inquisition?            
                                                                             
   <Lurch> I never ran Retro.  It was lame.  We guys were nothing.  We guys  
           are everything.  It is we guys.  Fuck that, it is me guys.

   <Lurch> I brought Inquisition to life and it is still me who will keep    
           it alive.  You remember me now?

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

       The following is a log of my conversation with Lestat.  I'm           
   embarrassed that the following chat is real and actually did take place.  
   I'd never expect an idiot like Lestat to come up to me with such an       
   absurd proposal.

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

   <Lestat> You just made an enemy you faggot.                               
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> Thanks for being so nice and polite.  I'm glad I rejected     
               your proposition then, I wouldn't want an immature kid like   
               you trying to help run RCN.  What part of NO don't you        
               understand?                                                   
                                                                             
   <Lestat> Bah, I'm not the one being immature about it.  You started it    
            you fool.                                                        
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> All right, now you're pissing me off.  Go ahead and act like  
               a 10 year old saying shit like, "You started it!  No, you     
               started it!  NO, YOU started it!  It's your fault!  No, it's  
               your fault!  NO, it's YOUR fault!"                            
                                                                             
   <Lestat> Bah...

       As we know, being part of the scene means getting free warez.  The    
   following are the top 10 ways to get warez :                              
                                                                             
   TOP 10 LIST!                                                              
   ------------                                                              
                                                                             
       10.) Put up a board called The Trading Post and put an advertisement  
            in your local computer magazine that says, "Free Warez Here!"    
                                                                             
       9.)  Go to your local computer store with a pile of 5 disks and      
            start copying software off the display computers.  When they     
            tell you that it's illegal say, "Oh, I thought it was            
            shareware."                                                      
                                                                             
       8.)  Get on America Online and join WarezChat.  Say "AN33 N00 W4R3Z,  
            d00dZ?"                                                          
                                                                             
       7.)  Get warez?  Fuck that.  Trade 0 day PORN!                        
                                                                             
       6.)  Make sure you know how to type in all the new forms of K-RAD.    
                                                                             
       5.)  Get all COPS (Couriers of Pirated Software) releases.  People    
            REALLY want those PhoneDisc installation files.                  
                                                                             
       4.)  When you are trading ftp sites, give them 4 random numbers.      
            Works every time.                                                
                                                                             
       3.)  Make sure you know all the good IRC offering channels.  Right    
            now, the best one is #0.                                         
                                                                             
       2.)  Whenever somebody asks you for software say, "I don't have that  
            but I have all the releases of SimCity 2000!"                    
                                                                             
   And the number 1 reason is :                                              
                                                                             
       1.)  Break out your 300 baud modem and LEECH LEECH LEECH!

                   to work with our new friends as we help each other        
                   improve the reputation and news coverage of our group.    
                   Please extend cheerful welcomes to the following :

    " QUOTES! "  We do not love free speech and free movement until we     
                   see them threatened.  We will not die for them until      
                   they are taken away.  With considerable horror, we watch  
                   men of other nations allow themselves to be robbed of     
                   their right to their opinions.  But, more insidiously,    
                   we now accept dictated predications which we are told to  
                   use in coming to conclusions.  Those who know the         
                   LEAST... obey the BEST. - Anonymous                       
                                                                             
                  The results of our hard work, often loss and pain, are    
                   certainly outweighed by the greatness experienced along   
                   the way.  Certainly, the chance to be great, is worth     
                   fighting for and worth the pain that so often             
                   accompanies it. - Anonymous

       RCN is proud to present to the scene the official RCN t-shirt.  We    
   tried to keep the price as low as we could so that everyone can enjoy     
   these goodies.  Keeping with RCN's volunteerish spirit to help the scene, 
   Road Rebel has decided to take it upon himself to make the RCN t-shirts   
   available to the masses.  This is a non-profit venture and we hope that   
   in many ways, RCN continues to benefit the scene.. even when we are not   
   near our computers.                                                       
                                                                             
        The RCN logo is approximately 8"x6" printed on the back of a        
         HEAVY-duty Fruit of the Loom white t-shirt, the front is plain.     
                                                                             
        A preview of the shirt can viewed upon pressing escape.

       The new update to the Reality Check Network World Wide Web Site,      
   http://www.rcn.org/, adds many new features :                             
                                                                             
        Speed Optimization : RCN.org is now speed optimized, which means    
         you spend less time waiting and more time browsing.                 
                                                                             
        Better Back Issue Access : It's now quick and easy to scan through  
         RCN's back issues, each one has its full description online, to     
         make searching for the desired issue that much easier.              
                                                                             
        Better Interface : v2.0 brings an end to the confusing              
         conglomeration of pages that previously had existed.  Now speed     
         through the icon driven interface to scan back issues of RCN and    
         other emags, send comments, read credits, and check out             
         merchandise and free files.                                         
                                                                             
        Text or JAVA Version : Whatever browser you use can now access the  
         RCN.org pages.  Before only Netscape was allowed, but now LYNX and  
         other text base users can now access the pages.                     
                                                                             
        New Look Graphics : The new graphics style are a nice change of     
         pace from the hard-edged style of before.                           
                                                                             
       To become a file mirror, contact us in #RCN on IRC, you must be able  
   to store all back issues in a publically accessible directory from the    
   WWW.  A link will be created from RCN.org to your site, so users can      
   acquire issues from there if the main site becomes overloaded.
