Author : The RCN Editor Staff
Subject : Introduction
Welcome to Reality Check Network, your 1 Warez E-mag! And so wed
like to stay! Currently, we have just finished wiping out the
competition, apparently it just couldnt compete with us. However, this
extra burst of confidence seems to be our worst enemy thus far. We
noticed this after the release of Issue 21. The editors, and some of
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 isnt 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 Kens letter, and those of several other people.
In trying to keep RCNs 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 doesnt 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. RCNs 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 weeks 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 weeks 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 dont 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 thats 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 RCNs position to
correct it, but rather the scenes 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 wont 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 thats 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 dont 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. Lets 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 theyre about
to start a masterful plan to grab all the Razor suppliers, and lets say
that Razor didnt 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 were fixing our mistakes. You cant 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 thats 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
TRCs 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
dont mind if you dont want to read an entire article or interview, and
decide youve had enough in the middle, but if youre going to contact
us with a complaint, make sure you HAVE read the entire text before
doing so. It doesnt 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 dont hesitate to contact us!

Dear RCN,
Basically, everyone knows that RCN rules so Im not going to even
say it. Alright, fine then, OK!, I will say it, RCN RULES! Be a bitch
about it why dont 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. Thats all honky dory, but if its something to help you learn
your A-B-Cs, or something that doesnt 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.
Wouldnt 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
doesnt work people complaining, saying that the groups SUCKS, and
give them all the blame. Well, my friends, thats 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 thats 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 Ill 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 Im 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 itll 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 Im 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.

Dear RCN,
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 dont
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 wasnt 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 dont know.
Actually, I dont see any Worlds 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 cant 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
1s and 0s 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 wont run on too long, I just cant see where some of these
old fogey Congressmen get off saying what is right and wrong in
CyberSpace, when they cant 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.

Dear Da Phreak,
Most Congressmen cant even tell an IBM clone apart from a
Macintosh. Tell them the Mac is the one with an Apple on it and youre
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 dont think
so. Congressmen might as well start making laws for other countries..
wait, they already do that.

The following letter is being rebutted by Prae :
Dear RCN,
Hi, my name is Eraser. Most of you people dont know me, probably
because I changed my nick and I am not in any groups anymore. I am
writing an article about what odogg2 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.coms owner has been an IRC op for 15 years. Dont 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 theyre lame! Its all I got, you stupid faggot. I dont invest my
life savings into fucking kern.com so I can play IRC ops with the other
big boys. Like odogg2 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.
Signed,
Eraser
Dear RCN,
Id like to set a few facts straight regarding Erasers 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 dont patrol for link lookers that I am sure he may happily use if
he insists on having his link looker. I dont particularly care, but
Im not changing my policiess for him or anybody.
Secondly, I havent been on IRC for 15 years, since there hasnt
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 doesnt agree with my policies here, but thats just the way it
is, I suppose. I dont 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 peoples 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 hes making a bit
more than you, but you dont have the privilege of doing so. At least
you shouldnt. At one point in your life youre going to have to admit
to yourself that you cant play on IRC for the rest of your life and
become a success. I honestly dont know what leads to your immature
actions on IRC, perhaps it is an ego problem, perhaps you havent enough
outside resources to please you, its 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. Im sure you will tell me that youre 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 dont 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.

Dear RCN,
This is Eraser, and Im 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 weeks letter on IRC ops is
about why they piss me off, and the other shit about them. First off,
Im 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 dont like, is the trouble trying to find an ALIVE
oper in times of trouble. Now, they made channel TwilightZone +i
which pisses me off. They are hiding from us now, they dont 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,
its 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 cant 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 youd still get credit for uploading
it, even if no one downloaded it. Another plus is the publicity the
group gets. Its 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 cant download
this file because it keeps stopping and saying Im 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 hed 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 doesnt work on my 386? OK, maybe thats 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 its 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 doesnt happen, groups like PTA will continue
to dominate the IRC couriering arena.

Dear RCN,
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 theres 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 hes ripping ALL his source from.
So as I approach yet another BitchX release Im faced with a decision.
Do I or do I not release source for BitchX? Ive spent a lot of time
and effort with BitchX since its inception and a lot of people have
either given ideas or source to this project, Id like to thank each and
every on of them for their patience and testing of a client of unknown
quality, for their code which Ive sometimes used, sometimes ignored and
other times modified greatly.
*PS* Hellshock, if youre reading this, FUCK YOU.

Dear Panasync Colten Edwards,
I wish I could help you stop this Hellshock guy from ripping your
source code, but theres really nothing I can do about it. Its your
source code, and if you dont 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 groups 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? Lets 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 Im 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, thats
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 RORs 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 Marlowes 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.

Dear RCN,
I read RCN 20 and it had a lot of good information in there, there
are of course some things I dont understand such as your NFOs. You
post the NFOs for courier groups and release groups, but why dont 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 Id like to point out the letter that Rio Ken wrote. Why is
he so pissed? If his name doesnt get posted in here most likely it
will get posted on Razor 1911s 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, Id 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!

Dear Arch Angel,
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
wont 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, Cant 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 dont see people blasting the groups that courier
to the boards there. If fact, most people praise the couriers 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 its the newer groups that are trying to come up in the scene. Its
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 youll
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 wasnt 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 doesnt 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 dont ALL trade the same files. Personally, I only
wish to trade WORKING REAL files. I dont enjoy downloading 50 disks
for a game that doesnt 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.

Dear RCN,
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
dont 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 dont 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 cant have access to the latest in warez? I dont
think so. 0 day warez are usually found from offerers. They arent
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 dont 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 dont 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!

Hi, I just wanted to write this because I dont 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 mamas.
Why dont 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 dont have anything better than sit on

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-lamers 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
dont 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 dosnt 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 cant understand concepts like
dos or shit, wipe, flush. Dont 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.

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 dont.
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
dont 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 dont bother doing a ls -al to see all the files, and if it
looks offical they wont 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 wasnt 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 werent getting
enough support. Mortality duped us, and used the reason we didnt
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 arent 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 couldnt 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
didnt 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 dont 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 thats like offering a drug addict free rehabilitation.
Mortalitys reason for releasing a half-working release wasnt because
they couldnt 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. Theyve 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 its true, I havent seen any uncracked
DOD releases as long as I remember.
So lets all congratulate one of the scenes 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 theres no end
in sight. Thank you for all the work you have done for us, UCF, and
keep it up, youre doing a wonderful job!

Subject : UCF President Affiliation : UCF!
: 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 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.
: Does UCF release cracks solely for shareware games and utils?
Ive 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 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.
: 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.
: Running UCF wasnt 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: How did you learn how to crack software? Did you just pick up a
book that taught you how to crack? If so, whats 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 havent
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?
: 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 Programmers 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.
: 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?
: 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 its 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: As the President of UCF, what is your opinion of the scene?
: 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.

: Many people consider you one of the best crackers in the scene.
Youve cracked games that were deemed uncrackable by other
crackers. Do you feel that your reputation is warranted?
: It probably is if the majority thinks that way. To make it a
little more clear, Id 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 dont
really know what goes on behind the actual cracking process or at
what level its 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.
: Do you believe that you are also respected among other crackers?
: I believe Im 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.
: 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?
: First of all, my cracking skills didnt stay the same all the
time. Theres 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 doesnt 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 wasnt 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.
: Which groups are you affiliated with besides UCF?
: At this time, its 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 Im not officially in any other
groups besides those 2.
: Whats the difference between a good cracker and a good coder?
Are good crackers also good coders? And are good crackers also
good coders?
: Its interesting and although I dont immediately see the
connection, but in my experience good crackers can code well at
least in assembly, and frequently in other langagues. Its
different for coders I guess. Since some assembly knowledge is
required to crack, high-level-only coders cant crack and even
demo-coders who code in assembly a lot may not have the
experience.
: Your cracking skills are well known, but are you also skillful in
coding? We cant all be good at everything, so dont feel
embarrassed if youre not good at coding.
: Actually, Im 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
: 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?
: 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
shouldnt carry over to becoming a ban on Reflux releases. People
who didnt 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.
: 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?
: 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
isnt on a second chance, everyone makes mistakes, the release of
the fake Quake Final was one of his.
: Why wont he do it again? He chose to do it once, hell 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 doesnt,
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?
: 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.
: Yes, he learned his lesson because he was caught. Hell be back
again. Hes been raided by the U.S. Marshalls and he still runs a
pirate group, the guys a fucking energizer bunny pirate. I dont
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 Refluxs new suppliers that were not a part of the
original ROR?
: 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.
: Im sure that Reflux will have a good future as a release group,
after all, ROR did have some amazing releases, and Im 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?
: Well, there were no ROR seniors cut from Reflux. Piston was a
former ROR senior that left us a while back. Piston doesnt
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.
: Im sure that the scene will give Reflux a second chance, lets
just hope that Tklp doesnt 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 cant
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 groups
error. I hope that this will be the future of Reflux, and I am now
willing to, as my duty holds, clean RORs marred reputation from my
book, and give them another chance as Reflux.
However, Refluxs 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,
theres 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.
Signed,
Hitex/Rebel Chicken

Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : The Speed Racer
Subject : The 1 Games Group? Affiliation : Razor 1911 Leader
: 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?
: 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!
: True, Razor will always be around even when other groups come and
go. Ive 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
1911s 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, Razors closest competitor.
: 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.
: Thats stupid of TRC, right after he disbanded Razor, didnt he go
on to start his new floppy games group called Eclipse? What was
he smoking?
: 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.
: Of course not, Razor has always been a dominant force in the
scene, it would be absurd to kill such a good group.
: 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 Assassins 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.
: So there were TWO razor.nfos?
: The final showdown would come on The Assassins 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!
: Yup, what a rush.
: 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: What an idiot! If youre 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.
: 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.
: How is he knowledgeable in supplying? What does he do that no one
else can? Im sure he does not work for a games company, they
wouldnt hire someone like him. How does he supply? Im sure TRC
doesnt supply games by doing store pick up because he always
makes fun of Pest from Razor for doing that.
: TRC uses various methods and he does do store pick up and evidence
of that would be his release of the game Hoyles Solitaire.
: Yeah, Prestige released Hoyles Solitaire the same day it shipped
into my store. I work for Egghead, so I know these things.
: If you wouldve been on top of your game you could have beaten
him.
: Thanks but no thanks. I dont supply. I like to keep myself
clean for purposes of being an RCN editor. And I think supplying
is a bore, dont take it the wrong way, its 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 Razors work ethics, or its release
potential?
: 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: 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 its being run by
TRC?
: TRC is from what I am led to believe a minor leader, Zion and
Speed Master are the leaders with Shadow Master also advising.
: Yeah right, tell TRC that he is only a minor leader in Prestige
and hell 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 Razors quality?
: 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.
: Yes, and thats a great attitude toward your competitors.

Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Angel of Death
Subject : Legion Steals! Affiliation : Ex-LGN Coordinator
: What is your current position in Legion? And what were your
duties for the group?
: 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.
: Acidplain just decided to cut your position as a net coordinator
for Legion for absolutely NO reason? Im sure Acidplain must have
been ticked off about something right? He wouldnt have just gone
around cutting members from Legion without a valid cause. Were
there any happenings prior to him cutting you from the group?
: 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 hasnt done one good thing for
Legion. I agreed with X-Factor on that note and also told him
about Acidplains prior reputation as a Digital member. Acidplain
must have overheard what had happened and since he always hated
me, he cut me.
: 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?
: 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.
: 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 Legions already tarred reputation.
: 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
wouldnt make the group any worse.
: 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, wouldnt he be kicked out
of the group by now, or perhaps he will be kicked out soon?
: No, I dont think hell get kicked out because the co-leaders
dont 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.
: How many co-leaders are there in Legion? If there arent more
than 3 leaders in Legion, then that should really narrow it down
to who has been thinking of kicking Acidplain out of Legion.
: Well, there are 3 leaders currently, but I think Acidplain was the
founder although he doesnt do *NEARLY* as much as any of the
other leaders.
: 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 hes 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?
: 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 dont know whether he has stopped flooding channel
Pinnacle though.
: How old is Acidplain?
: Well, I dont 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, its 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...
The following is a log file of Acidplain playing lame after he found
out that he was kicked out of Legion :
*** Acidplain ministry@netcom.com has joined channel Legion
Acidplain Dont forget about my ftp site. I just got into PWA and
Razor 1911. So now you just lost a 6 gig t3 site!
aod Lamer detected!
*** Acidplain has left channel Legion
aod Haaaaa!!!
*** Shroom has changed the topic on channel Legion to Acidplain is
kicked out. Violence merged into LEGION!
SMobius Oh yea, just one more thing, about that 6 gig t3 site that
Acidplain says he has, he told me about it 4 months ago.

Subject : PCWarez Affiliation : PCW President
: Please tell us who you are and what you do.
: I am the founder of PCWarez.
: What kind of group is PCW and what is its specialty?
: Well, PCWarez is a release group specializing mainly in utilities
and once in a while the odd game and cd-rip.
: How old is PCW and how was it founded?
: PCW was founded in February of 1996. Were going on our 1/2 year
anniversary. And basically it was a few of us that got anooyed
listening to other groups nagging at us so we started our own
small group that has now grown to +90 hard working mambers.
: You have more then 90 members? Thats quite a lot, please tell us
why your group size is so big?
: 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.
: So your group is very strong courier wise, where do you spread you
files first on BBSs or FTPs?
: 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.
: You said before that your group is a uni-releasing group, how come
you dont concentrate on only utils or games?
: Well we try to stay mostly with utils but if the game is cool and
we have it handy then why not?
: What is your source of getting releases?
: 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.
: 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!
: 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: 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
didnt release. Why did you pass on on such a great game?
: 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.
: When you spread your files, to which FTPs and BBSes do they go
first?
: 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.
: Many groups usually upload to big FTPs and BBSes in order not to
be beaten by other groups, how come you dont do the same?
: 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.
: How worldwide spread is 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.
: What are the future plans for 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!
: Ok, thanks a lot for the interview and is there anything you want
to say in the closing?
: 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
lame!

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, Im
still talking about the companies here -- sometimes they dont 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 didnt 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. Whats 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 thats
to be expected, but many people in the scene dont want to download
these releases because they are exactly that, low in quality. Thats
where the problem WE can control comes into play. I cant 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 its not right when the releasing groups label the release
with a wonderful tag. Lets 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 its 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 dont 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
FILEID.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 groups 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 dont take that for granted, a group recently forgot to
put the name of the program in their DIZ. Whats worse is when a
respected group does this. I will offer you some examples.
Convert Plus - Released by DOD
Just unzip the files in to disk dirs and install it.
-AZZ-
I took a gamble when I downloaded this program because I didnt 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
DODs 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
dirs and install it.
pcAnywhere for Windows 95 - Released by PWA
pcAnywhere 7.5 32bit Released at 14:20:00 on 6/29/96
Supplier .....:Wired
Type .....:Remote Control
Cracker ......:N/A
Video ....:yup
Packager .....:Mercy
Audio ....:nope
Protection ...:N/A
Rating ...:
To install unzip each file into a dir named disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4
and run setup...
What makes PWA think that just because this is a popular program,
they dont 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 dont feel like traveling back to work
to get them.
Gender Wars - Released by Razor 1911
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 Ive 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.
Im sure that Ive passed up many great releases merely because the
groups that released them didnt 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.
Session Start : Mon Jul 08 00:36:39 1996
Prophet Whatever, Sharp didnt give me shit.
Morphine Prophet, did you ask Sharp to steal an Epic release for
Napalm?
Sharp Prophet you did.
Hannibal Theres too many kids in this scene, now get lost.
Prophet Sharp, you gave me Close Combat?
BugLord DID YOU ASK HIM?!?!?
Dviolator Prophet, who the fuck is this faggot that is talking to you?
Sharp I didnt give Prophet jack shit.
Morphine Hannibal, and there are too many Napalm members like you.
BugLord Come on Prophet, DID YOU ASK SHARP FOR THE EPIC RELEASE?!?!?
BugLord Come on Prophet, DID YOU ASK SHARP FOR THE EPIC RELEASE?!?!?
BugLord Come on Prophet, DID YOU ASK SHARP FOR THE EPIC RELEASE?!?!?
Prophet The point is, I didnt get the game from Sharp.

it doesnt matter because he got it elsewhere.

Session Close : Mon Jul 08 00:39:37 1996
This shit is just fucking pathetic. Is Napalm THAT desperate for
releases? Who the hell does Prophet think he is going around to other
games groups begging crackers to steal games for Napalm? I thought
Napalm had integrity? I thought Prophet had integrity? Fucking Ay
Prophet, get your act together and show you still have class...

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 Ive decided to
set the record straight before it can get distorted.
Its no secret that I havent 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 hes 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, didnt have a phone line
and even when he did he wasnt much of an organizer, and the guy whod
been running the group for the past few months Crackpot had done
nothing with it even though hed 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
didnt 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 Ive 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 Dynamixs 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 didnt 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 didnt
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 didnt 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 Zions 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 didnt really care which board was
WHQ, but if the truth be known, I didnt 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 Zions wasnt the WHQ, I knew that Id 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 wouldnt 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 didnt 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 Zions 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 didnt 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 Im only interested
in bragging rights isnt 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 didnt 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 cant 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,
lets 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
wouldnt be in plain old Dynamix much longer.
While I left Crackpot to mull over the information that Id 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 theyd
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 wasnt 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 wouldnt 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 hed 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 Id 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 hadnt 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 wasnt 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 didnt 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 Id 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 didnt 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 werent
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 Id 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 Crackpots lackey so I didnt 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 wasnt
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 didnt 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 thats 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 groups 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 dont 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 youre on, meaning that youll 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. Its 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 isnt
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.

Prae Wow, you guys ban a lot of people. You guys must have trouble
making friends. Now, are you guys going to quit giving me shit
or not?
RoadRebel You have NO RIGHT to do this.
Prae I could probably keep this channel locked for a long, long time.
RoadRebel You were asked to leave, so you pull this crap.
Prae Im not looking for help, I just want you guys to leave me the
fuck alone.
RoadRebel We didnt do anything to you!! I asked you to leave my
channel for arguing!
Eraser Prae, if you have something against me, THEN TALK TO ME
DUMBASS, dont FUCK WITH RCN!
Prae You put his shit in that lame mag of yours, you suffer the
consequences I suppose.
Eraser I wrote in because its a good thing to write about. Bah, you
were the one who started it.
Hitex Prae, as an IRC op, you are responsible for your server and are
bound to neutrality. You fail to express neutrality here and
are bringing personal emotions into the game, something you are
to refrain from doing. Something your TITLE refrains you from
doing.
Prae Hitex, what the fuck are you talking about?
RoadRebel He killed me for being a bot, I am not a bot. I dont even
run one clone.
Hitex Prae, if you dont like our mag you are welcome not to read it,
but you havent the right to mess with our channel for it. We
broke none of your servers rules in the last few minutes and
you have broken every rule in the book for your priviliege.
RoadRebel Everyone please log this shit and send it to jnl@kern.com
and all other admins you can.
RoadRebel Dont forget portal since MikeySoft was so nice to help him.
Prae Look, if you guys wander around spreading stupid, false shit
about people, there are going to be consequences.
Eraser STUPID FALSE SHIT? LOOK AT MY K-LINES!
Eraser YOU ARE BANNED : RCN 21
Eraser YOU ARE BANNED : LINK LOOKERS ARE LAME
Eraser Fuck that, that is not bullshit. The bullshit is Prae lying.
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, Id 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.
oDogg17 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 isnt 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 dont run a democracy on your server, but you are in
no control of the rest of IRC.
Prae Now, Ill give it back to its rightful owners.

after the incident.
Session Start : Mon Jul 08 15:02:33 1996
Prae You can log this, if youd 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 Doesnt matter, the letter didnt 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 Sok, I expect it to show up in RCN 22. When is RCN 22
supposed to be out, anyhow?
RoadRebel Sunday, always Sunday.
Session Close: Mon Jul 08 15:05:44 1996
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
wasnt an enjoyable experience, so Prae must be a big fan of RCN. If
anybody is the little baby here, its Prae, going to his IRC ops when he
cant 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, isnt that how all groups are run? Isnt 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 wouldnt say that he made PWA
the best utils group. Its 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 dont 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 shouldnt say that.
Rambone TSR has pulled a lot of penises. I guess thats 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 didnt 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
pages.
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 hes a liar!
SpeedMstr Druidkin, it still gives him no right to fuck with one of
our guys like he is.
RomRacer 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 didnt 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 youd like to take it to a group level, Ill 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, dont even begin to assume that you know what TSR
was thinking.
RomRacer 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 wasnt 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 youve learned a lesson Iron Man, move forward and stop
dwelling on the past. Personally, Id 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? Im just proving a
point.
Immortal Watch this be in RCN.
PForm RCN is lame. No, dont spread logs, itll end up in RCN.
Arch-Vile I did not take a log.
Xwing Itll end up in RCN for sure!
PForm Someone in here probably already leaked it to RCN.
Xwing Arch-Vile, were safe as long as we dont 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 didnt take a log. Go ask someone who did.
SpeedMstr I never even got to argue with TSR. As soon as TSR joined
the channel, everyone attacked him like a pack of wolves.
Arch-Vile Fear this, the latest scoop, Tklp started a new group called
Reflux.
Tklp No I didnt.
Supernaut Dont you mean Dumbflux?
PForm Loosen up and make fun of ROR and Reflux.
*** Turbo2 xxx@xxxxx.xxx has joined channel Prestige
Turbo2 Someone should fix the game Decathlon.
Supernaut There is nothing wrong with Decathlon.
Turbo2 No it doesnt. I already spoke with a couple of people and
none of us can get the game to work.
SMaster Decathlon works fine.
Turbo2 If you think the game is capable of going past the menus. I
dont think so.
PForm Decathlon works fine.
Turbo2 The game works, if you dont try to play the events. The menus
looks great.
Supernaut Does anyone have a log?
*** Arch-Vile has changed the topic on channel Prestige to The battle
field is now quiet.

Subject : A Little Injustice
So heres 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, hes sleeping.
Disgruntled Sysop I KNOW hes 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, Ive been sleeping since 9:00 pm and havent 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, Ive 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 wasnt a nice friendly call to verify an account.
You threatened to sue me even though I havent been on since
5:00.
Sysop Im sorry you didnt find it friendly enough, but weve 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 arent to blame,
then I suggest you just forget about it since youre not the
guilty party. If you are, then you shouldnt do it again
because you could get into trouble.
Me Well, Ive 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 wouldnt
stop you from switching your account. You might find that they
wont 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 dont 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 youre going to send some... whats
the word... sysop trainee to come flame me over the phone, they
could be a little bit more polite.
Sysop Im not going to waste my time with you.
I decided to cancel my account, and heres my cancellation email :
Subject : Cancellation
After this billing month, I want to quit your crappy little BBS.
By the way, Hydro didnt hack your firewall. Just thought I would
let you guys know of another injustice that happened to another hacker
just minding his own business.

Subject : Reflux Made a Boooo Boooo
For those of you that dont 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 Refluxs 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 Refluxs
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 Im writing this article because Rebel
Chicken is falling out of his chair of laughter and is too amused to
write it himself.
EXPLANATION
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 RLXs 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 Ionizers Games Review, if not the
scene, which jumped on us screaming it is a dupe. This the simply the
best Windows95-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 RoRs 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 games
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 didnt 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...
thats 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 im glad to tell u, that most part of europen siteop, dont
nuke it, and understand that was good/new one, ull see it when they run
it, and njoy... so... in the future... if u wanna scream/nuke someffin,
just cheek it out 1st... and dont panic... ok, thats all this time.
thx.
-- TOk.
CONCLUSION:
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
Now for the part where I tell you that this is complete bull shit
and should have actually been in Mad RCN because its so amusing. I
have great respect for Manic because he just got up and made an apology
to the scene for a mistake. Im 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, theyll do so and name the version 2.0. That is, the game will
be a bit different, like JdA said. However, this wasnt 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 thats the case, and
if you could fit a patch on one disk, WHY THE HELL DIDNT YOU JUST
RELEASE THE PATCH?
Also, dont 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
dont try to justify yourself by claiming others faults. If anybodys
release should be claimed non-existent, its yours, because youre 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 groups work. RLX is lucky because ROR
was granted a second chance, but dont expect old views of ROR to be
lost, you werent granted a new life, just a new name and a second
chance.
Finally, if this hasnt 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 didnt 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, youre just fluff. Your group doesnt
necessarily represent you, but you always represent your group, and
youre making a fool out of Reflux. I just hope that people will
disregard your lame excuse for a rebuttal and listen to Manics one.
Reflux duped, they made an honest mistake, and did more than most groups
would after a dupe, they apologized.

Subject : Is that box really important to you?
It might sound kind of weird to pick a machine over your friends but
to some of us, thats reality. How many of you spend more time on your
computer than seeing your friends or talk to your friends? In the old
days, youd 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. Thats not healthy! I bet that most of you dont even need
most of the stuff that you download! Maybe youll want the odd game,
maybe a ten mes release or so but comparing to the useless stuff youve
couriered, its 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. Dont 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, its more
important than you! Or should I say, Nah, I dont even use it that
much!?
Theres 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
shouldnt take over your life. If youre bored then fool around on the
computer but if youve got something to do, do it! Dont play IRC and
not do what you have to do. Lifes 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 its 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 dont 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
youre 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 Networks all new group review!
Here I will be reviewing the 5 best games release groups in the scene.
Well, actually, *I* wont be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!
Its all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you
will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Lets
review the criteria Ill be using for judging releases. The following
is the scoring basis Ill be using :
Points :
-3 The game didnt 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, well 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.

Rating scale :
0-19/100 In a nutshell, it sucked!
20-39/100 Still crap but slightly better.
40-49/100 Possibly worth downloading.
50-69/100 Pretty decent game. Might want to check it out.
70-79/100 Worth the download if you like that type.
80-89/100 Very good, 9 outta 10 its worth the download.
90-99/100 Excellent game, a MUST download.
100/100 HOLY SHIT IVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER GAME!
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 dont
work or are not available, I then try other ways. So just b/c it
doesnt work for me, doesnt mean it wont work for you.

18 CLASSIC CASINO GAMES FOR WINDOWS
Sat. July. 6, 1996
xx/05
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
arent registered. You have a 30 day trial period which is fine because
you cant even play this crap that long. Basically its for idiots or
just for people that like any game.

Heres the working version of this detective game. Precisions 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 youll 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. Its hard to
play with out them, because youre talking to a guy one minute, and the
next you see hes 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 its not worth it to
get this rip, because youre missing out on half the game. Unless you
plan on buying this one and want to see what its like, dont waste your
time.
RATING : 45/100

NUKE IT! Duke Nukem Addon 04/04
What do you think it is? Its about 17 megs worth of map files.
Some of them have been released in other zips, but about half of them
havent been. It also contains some other shit you might find usefull
if you plan on making your own levels. Nice collection to have, a must
for all who still like playing it over modem.

*THIS IS ID4: THE GAME*
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
lets 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? Its got this stupid planet, I think its 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
couldnt find any other pussys 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.
RATING : 17/100

Pal? Wasnt that from a BB episode, like Positive Acting Losers or
some shit? Stupid dickheads! Didnt say that this was chinese or
whatever language its in. Anyway, from what I was able to do, which is
little because a lot of it is dialogue between characters, its 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, dont bother.
RATING : 37/100

Legends, c Copyright Krisalis. 6/6
Jism and Fast
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
its like Zelda, it is, but unlike with the rectangle type areas, its
just all open. Youre 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 isnt of high quality, but it does the
job. Games got a lot of zooming in on areas as the way of picking up
stuff and/or using things. Theres tons of stuff to do, and Id
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 *FiNAL* o1/17
Lemmings Paintball for Win95. Lets 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 Im 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 dont like Lemmings at all

Ok, its Sim City.. Yup. Big deal.. Oh wait, its 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 Win95s network protocols
and so forth. I couldnt 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.
Dont remember, dont care.
Points: 40 - Forget this one unless you really have a desire to play
SC2000 over the net. Its the same old stuff.

Tracer for Win95 7th Level
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 isnt an action
shooter, but gameplay is fast - due to the virus on your ass wanting to
eat you up! Its 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. Theres 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 theres clear
understandable speech at the beginning of each level. The graphics are
excellent but dont stop to admire them! Theres even pan/zoom options
to move the view around the game area.
Points: 82 - All in all, not a bad game. Its definately different.

c MICROSOFT XX/11

CLOSE COMBAT AMAZING FIX 1/1
Ok, now this fix all by itself doesnt work. I was highly pissed off
about it too, until Ionizer, Mr. Ereet himself /msgd 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 isnt 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 couldnt 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 wasnt included, but there is on-screen
help during gameplay and alot of the stuff is self explanitory. Dont
hit the news reel button after a mission either, itll crap out looking
for the video files. I only played through the first mission Ive
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. Its worth it!

Bruce Jenners DECATHLON c I-Magic 1/9
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 chrs attributes, but the
actual gameplay was pretty crappy. There just arent 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.
Lemmings for Win95 o1/o1
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, its LEMMINGS line, take a look at this game. Theres
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: Its a bitch. If you dont care about having
Lemmings.. in the add/remove box for the rest of your life, dont
worry about it. I do care so.. You have to copy all files from
progra1winlemm to lemmings, then move lemmingsgfxlogo.bmp to
lemmingspblogo.bmp and then finally type autorun in the lemmings dir.
Yucky!
Points : 76-5 uninstall 71 Only ONE disk! Good release from the
guys of m8. Keep it up!
General Admission Sports Pinball Pack
cH E P I C 96 xx/07
Ack poo.. Pinball.. Not gonna say much about this, its 3 pinball
games that install to thier own dirs, and all 3 pretty much suck. All 3
are the same game, just different tables. Theres hockey, football, and
basketball. Oh, wait, did I mention theyre pinball games? And they
suck?
Note : When unarjing the football table arjs itll say
football.a02 not found. It dont matter, it plays fine.
Points : 15 - Pinball games... And umm oh yeah, 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 dont have a cracker, you shouldnt 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 werent 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. Its got a couple different rez modes dont look
at the low rez mode, youll 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..

Ionizers 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.
Apology :
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 Ive seen for 95 so far. The only
thing I dont 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, its 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 Ill 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 cant 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 aint bitchin much, cuz this game ROCKS!
Points : 91 - Leech this, and burn the install to CDRom!
- I do believe that about covers it for this week, cyall next week.
- Greets out to: Kilmer, Arutha, Foul, V, Phat Phreddy, and the rest of
k0k, BlackJac, Hels, Juan Juarez, Sherekhan, Chia, and all of the W5
Network Ionizer thanks for the Close Combat fix!
- Special werd up to ALL people striving to make the scene what it
should be.
-** THE GAME OF THE WEEK **-
- Bermuda Syndrome is not eligible, and therefore can not win thats
what it means to be not eligible. The GOTW goes to NAPALM for CLOSE
COMBAT. The win95 review pretty much says it all. If its over rated
you can go blame pathos. For a good quick laugh this week, you can
download NAPALMs ID4: THE GAME, it sucks really bad!

Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Networks all new group review!
Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene.
Well, actually, *I* wont be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!
Its all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you
will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Lets
review the criteria Ill be using for judging releases. The following
is the scoring basis Ill be using :
Points :
-3 The util didnt 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, well 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 Networks all new group review!
Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene.
Well, actually, *I* wont be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!
Its all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you
will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Lets
review the criteria Ill be using for judging releases. The following
is the scoring basis Ill be using :
Points :
-3 The util didnt 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, well 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.

Subject : Group Reviews : Utils
Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Networks all new group review!
Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene.
Well, actually, *I* wont be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!
Its all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you
will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity. Lets
review the criteria Ill be using for judging releases. The following
is the scoring basis Ill be using :
Points :
-3 The util didnt 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, well 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.

Subject : How to Hurt Someone
How to Kill Someone with a Blow Drier
Materials
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 theres a blow drier in the
bathroom. If there is, youre in LUCK! See if you can unscrew the
front of the blow drier.
v Take this part off
v Metal piece screen thing AFTER you take the part off
Where to press
After you take it off if you can, if you cant dont 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. Heres an
update, hey, I dont 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
Materials
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 arent 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, its above
the flusher handle. Now plug in the cord and get the hell out of there.
Dont take a shit there or itll be your last shit.
--o
--o Flusher Handle /
When you flush down, the goes up so it becomes a
When you flush, the thing goes UP and it presses the button, then it
sends a electricity signal and BOOM! The person is DEAD or INJURED!
How to Burn a Guys ASS
Materials
1. 1/5 cup of acid
2. and an ASS not yours.
Okay, just put the acid right before theyre gonna go. So when they
gotta go assuming youre 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
cant find gloves then do this, pour the acid around the BACK of the
toilet. If you have gloves, its 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 youre 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.

Subject : Easy Money
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 youll 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. Id 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. Ill 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 peoples of course, and buy
hardware, software, sluts, anything you can think up even a car!.
Some didnt 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 itll be convincing. The
deal was, send me half the money, get the product, send me the rest. I
gave them my carding site a neighbors 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, Im 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 cant do shit no more, so if youre trying, the only
thing youll get is the cool hardware, handcuffs.
Call 0 and wait for the operator to come on. Say, Im 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! Theyll say, Okay sure,
tell them the number, and theyll 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. Ive 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 doesnt 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 dont 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 doesnt 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.

Subject : Salting Coke Machines
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 its 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 youve 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.

Welcome to Dear Road Rebel! This is going to be YOUR column that is
a cross between Dear Abby and Dave Berry. The most important part of
this is YOUR participation. If you have ever had a question about the
scene or just a comment, heres the place! Have you ever wanted to know
why some people do this or that? ASK! I would love to take it to the
extreme for you and we will be happy to research it! I hope you have as
much fun with this as I will! Remember, this is YOUR column!
Dear 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 arent
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 doesnt
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 bbss 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 dont
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!
Signed,
HBKid
Dear HBKid,
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,
didnt 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.
*PS* How would you know if real sex is better?
Signed,
Road Rebel
Dear Road Rebel,
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. Im 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 Im 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 isnt gonna stop me from getting
my job done.
Signed,
Cody
Dear Cody,
Well, it doesnt sound like you spend too long online. But if you
are paying by the minute, GET A NEW ISP!! I pay 20 a month unlimited,
and that is it. But, it is your money so see fit to blow it how you
like .
Signed,
Road Rebel

The following details your forecasts depending on your astrological
sign. Each sign designates your personal lucky numbers of the week.
The following specific areas of focus include those of love and warez :
Forecast of the week : Mondays New Moon coupled with Saturns shift on
Thursday will bring a new start to those with an ill background. Listen
to your peers and this new start will prove beneficial in the long run.
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.
Pisces February 20 to March 20 : A romantic adventure or aesthetic
group enterprise beckons, and it is up to you to weigh the
possible benefits against the potential hazards. Mondays 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 Mondays New Moon will enable you
to enlist the support of someone close to you. Dont 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.
Dont 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 youre going to
make the most of opportunities. Mondays 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. Dont 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 skys the limit, and
Mondays 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 peoples 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 youre 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.

RblChickn What the hell are you babbling?
Lurch I brought Inquisition to life and it is still me who will keep
it alive. You remember me now?
RblChickn Oh yeah...
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? Youre not impressing me.
Do you want me to quote Einstein? I can do that too,
Emc2, impressive hey?
Lurch It is very unfortunate that you begin to insult, it was the
wrong move on your part. Youve 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 Im falling outta ma chair, help.. I cant get up.
Lurch It is time when the rock of ages falls onto the age of rocks.
RblChickn So how big is Inquisitions 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 dont 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 Inquisitions monitored circulation? Id
like to know that information if youre 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, youre 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, thats 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 dont 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 wont 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, thats the first half polite thing you said. My
first question, what is RCN?
RblChickn RCN stands for Reality Check Network. Its 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. Ill 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
its not like a newspaper, its coded. Its not in text,
and also, its freely distributed. By the way, when I infer
that RCN is coded, I dont mean to sound degrading to your
e-mag Inquisition because it was only a text file, dont
take it the wrong way.
Lurch Let me once again restate my question.
RblChickn Okay, if you want to. I guess Ill 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 Ive said so far that comes close to insulting
anyone is calling RCN pathetically lame, so lets not go on with
the insults, ok? What is the purpose of RCN to the scene, to
yourself personally?
RblChickn Arent 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 didnt you just ask me that earlier? I do RCN
because its 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 Its 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 RCNs 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 Im not looking at it. I dont put
myself in the center of the universe the way you do. I
dont have a Napoleon complex.
Lurch Next question, if RCN is scene related, then why did you begin
the girlfriend bits?
RblChickn We didnt 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. Didnt 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 didnt. 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 Cracks articles
in RCN that were put in the submenu Hackers 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
Hackers 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 didnt
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 hes 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 doesnt really make much sense.
Lurch Im not insulting him.
RblChickn But you DO realize the you have no idea what you are talking
about, right? Dont you dare be so stupid as to say I
didnt 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 dont like you?
RblChickn Because I dont 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 dont 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 didnt 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 dont 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 cant read or you just dont have a brain. Ill
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 youre stupid, but every
now and then, I start to realize that youre 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 Id like to get some sleep.
Lurch I only have one more question for you, can you attempt, while
talking seriously, to stop acting like youre 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, youre the one who joined
channel RCN saying that you were scoping out the
competition. Youre the one who started calling RCN
pathetically lame. Youre the one who implied that Crack is
a fucking dumbass because you assume that he doesnt know
what hes talking about, should I go on? So why shouldnt I
treat you the same way you treat me? The truth is, youre
really not that interesting to chat with, so Id 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? Youre 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 dont 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 sheeps clothing. There, that was a quote
from the Bible, eat that you Einstein charlatan wannabe.

Subject : Lestat, I Wanna Be RCN!
The following is a log of my conversation with Lestat. Im
embarrassed that the following chat is real and actually did take place.
Id 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 Whos the highest ranked RCN member here?
RoadRebel What the hell?
RblChickn Im an RCN editor, what can I help you with?
Lestat Are you the original Rebel Chicken, or are you a wannabe?
RblChickn Yes, Im the original Rebel Chicken.
Lestat You, like run RCN hey?
RblChickn No one person runs RCN, its a group effort. Im one of the
RCN editors, is there anything I can help you with?
Lestat I have a proposition for you. Youre 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.
Dont talk down to me like that.
RblChickn Stop jerking around and get to the point, Im 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. Id 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 youre rejecting my proposition.
RblChickn I would like to know why youd 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. Youre not even a member, you
cant just waltz into channel RCN and expect to become an
editor.
Lestat I know how the fucking scene runs. You guys dont have any
support from the warez groups.
RblChickn Nobody is asking you to support RCN. If you dont like it,
then dont read it.
Lestat The warez groups hate you.
RblChickn So what? Anytime I say something, theres always someone
from some warez group that gets pissed about. Im 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 dont read RCN?
Lestat Bah, they read it because the programing rawks, but the fact
is, its 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 Id be running nothing more
than a message service for them. Ill be a puppet for them
printing shit that they want people to read. Id have to
fucking suck up to all of them and turn a blind to any lame
shit they might do. I dont expect to be censored by big
warez groups.
Lestat I know. By the way, did you know that issue 21 didnt work.
RblChickn Great, then you didnt have to read it.
Lestat Bah, you dont 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, youre 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 hed
actually give me any money.
Lestat Im 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.
RblChickn Great...
Lestat You just made an enemy you faggot.
RblChickn Thanks for being so nice and polite. Im glad I rejected
your proposition then, I wouldnt want an immature kid like
you trying to help run RCN. What part of NO dont you
understand?
Lestat Bah, Im not the one being immature about it. You started it
you fool.
RblChickn All right, now youre 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! Its your fault! No, its
your fault! NO, its YOUR fault!
Lestat Bah...
RblChickn Bah? Go fuck a lamb, I have other business to take care of.

Subject : Top 10 Ways to Get Warez
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 its 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.

Works every time.
3. Make sure you know all the good IRC offering channels. Right
now, the best one is 0.

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
On behalf of the moon, I shall sing to
Right wrongs and triumph over evil
With my friends Sailor Venus, Jupiter, Mars,
and Mercury
Well make the world
A better place for all people! - Sailor Moon

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 RCNs 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 8x6 printed on the back of a

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 : Its now quick and easy to scan through
RCNs 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.
