   Dear Reader :                                                             
                                                                             
       We're baaaaaaack!!!  The editors of Reality Check Network took a      
   short break about 3 months ago, but we've decided that the scene          
   currently lacks a comprehensive magazine to inform the warez public of    
   new things that occur.  So, we're back, and better than ever!!!           
                                                                             
       There are a number of new things in this issue.  First of all, part   
   of the coding has been redone, so RCN has a new look.  Next, we now have  
   a pop-up options menu that can be activated from anywhere in the          
   magazine, so if you're in the middle of reading an article and want to    
   change something (such as the music volume) you can do so without         
   exiting the article first.  This issue also contains a "secret article."  
   Well no, it's not completely secret, but to read it, you'll need a        
   password, and to get that password, you'll have to beat the built-in      
   game!  Good luck!                                                         
                                                                             
       As always, we value your opinion.  Improvements are constantly being  
   made as a direct result of user input.  If you would like to participate  
   in the further enhancement of RCN, or would like to send a letter to the  
   editors (or to a writer in particular) please send e-mail to              
   an385786@anon.penet.fi.  Note that we are no longer accepting             
   subscribers to the magazine.  The reason is that the anon.penet.fi        
   server will not let us send attached files over 100k in size unless we    
   split them up, and that would be confusing for both us and the readers.   
   To make up for that, we offer a WWW site accessible via the Internet.     
   All issues will be promptly posted there.  For more information, read     
   on.                                                                       
                                                                             
       In an effort to better interact with our readers, the editors of      
   RCN have devised a reader survey, and would appreciate it if you would    
   take the time to respond to it.  After completion of the survey, you      
   simply need to send it attached to the above e-mail address.  Note that   
   we prefer NOT getting messages encoded in MIME format.  We also have a    
   voting booth so the readers can give input on their favorite groups.      
                                                                             
       New this issue are some little twirks that might sizzle your buns!    
   For those of you that feel more confortable holding a mouse, we now have  
   mouse support!  Oh, and for those of you that want to take RCN with you   
   wherever you go, you can now print articles and/or the entire mag (if     
   you're really cray-zee).  Oh, and if you hate that rotating music that    
   we added last issue, you can turn it on and off in the Options menu.      
   Note that it defaults to off.  We also have a new music track care of     
   Reality, the best Adlib composing team around!                            
                                                                             
       Don't forget to keep sending in your votes for the groups you feel    
   are #1, and test your wits of the scene in our Warez-IQ questionnaire,    
   10 new questions in this issue!  We still have an ASCII version of the    
   mag for those of you running UNIX/Linux, or those of you that want to     
   save credits on your boards and view the RCN-??.TXT file in a ZIP <g>.    
                                                                             
       RCN issues have now been made available to a wider audience thanks    
   to our new WebSite courtesy of RATM.  Please feel free to browse around   
   - http://www.shu.edu/~importmi/rcn/.  RCN ardently feels that our

       Celestian, the RCN ANSi art coordinator, will no longer be accepting  
   any requests for ANSi artwork outside of RCN.  Between his artwork for    
   RCN and DMN, he can longer find time to do any freelance artwork.  He     
   has been receiving requests nonstop and would like to have a little       
   peace here and then.

       I see an obvious bias in the RCN reviews against DOD in favor of      
   higher scores toward PWA, and it sickens me.  I think your magazine is    
   STUPID for doing this, and hope that you will soon understand how         
   kick-ass DOD is and how shitty PWA is.  Thank you.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       Your ratings of PWA are waaay too low.  You're not giving an awesome  
   group credit for its awesome work.  DOD, on the other hand, consistently  
   gets a higher average per release when they only release once a month.    
   That's complete bullshit and unfair to the guys in PWA.

   Dear Readers,                                                             
                                                                             
       Alright, this is the last time (until next time) that we're going to  
   post any messages about us being biased.  We intentionally dropped        
   Legacy when we started up RCN again for the sole purpose of keeping an    
   unbiased position when writing.  We have absolutely no reason to be       
   biased towards or against anybody, and any mail that you might send us    
   regarding the matter will be used purely for the purpose of a good        
   laugh.                                                                    
                                                                             
       Now as for my opinions on PWA vs. DOD, I think DOD has better         
   quality, and PWA has more releases.  However, that is just a reflection   
   of the past four weeks and is in NO WAY a consistent view of the groups.  
   My opinion of the groups fluctuates weekly.  One week, PWA does better,   
   the next week DOD does better.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I'm a member of Razor 1911 and I've been reading your E-Zine and I    
   think it's great.  LOTS of articles that keep you reading for a long      
   time.  Now, I have a gripe.  In your Warez-IQ test, question #4 states,   
   "What group is known for releasing FLOPPY games?"  You only desired one   
   answer, but Eclipse and Razor 1911 are the best candidates.  Now I know   
   you wanted people to choose Eclipse, but the thing is, Eclipse hasn't     
   released a floppy in MONTHS!  Razor 1911 on the other hand, has released  
   a handful (probably two in the last week alone).                          
                                                                             
       Also, Tyranny is releasing floppy games as well, as they are one of   
   the old school floppy game releasers (not saying the old Tyranny floppy   
   releases were quality, but at least they were floppy).

   Dear Toast,                                                               
                                                                             
       Thank you for your response!  You make a good point in revealing      
   that some CD-RIP game groups do a better job of releasing floppy games    
   than some floppy-only game groups.  However, our question desired a       
   response regarding a games group that releases nothing but floppy games,  
   no CD-RIPs whatsoever, and Eclipse is the only one on that list.          
   Tyranny has recently moved to CD-RIPs as well, and Razor 1911 (I don't    
   distinguish Razor 1911 from Razor-CD), though an awesome group, is also   
   participating in the CD-RIP scene.  Eclipse was the only choice in the    
   list that releases only floppy games.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I'm really mad at RCN for making that Space Invaders game, it was     
   too hard to beat!!!  Then, I found out that it was because I was in the   
   stupid Windows 95 window, so I got into full screen DOS, and it was much  
   easier.  I'd like to say that Mad RCN was especially funny.  Especially   
   the article on tKRP and Winterhauk, that made me LAUGH for ages!!!        
   Finally, I find someone that thinks Winterhauk is an annoying punk ass    
   bitch that can't get none in real life.  Tuxedo Mask, greets go out to    
   you!!!  That Winterhauk must sure be pissed, good job guys, and in the    
   future, if you want any more ideas for RCN, I'd be happy to contribute.   
                                                                             
       Also, is that Chicken-Watch article for real???  Dam that Rebel       
   Chicken needs some help.  What the hell is wrong with him?  Does he like  
   not have a dick or something?  I can't believe he'd get Hitex to call     
   that Morgan girl for him.  That's just unbelievable, getting a friend to  
   ask a girl out for him.  That's just plain sad.                           
                                                                             
       Well, I don't want to sound all dickish.  I'd like to wish Rebel      
   Chicken good luck with the opposite sex.  I'd also like to say to Rebel   
   Chicken that he shouldn't worry so much about talking to girls, if you    
   act natural, girls would be a lot more easy to come by.  I used to be     
   scared of girls like you, but not anymore, and now I get on girls all     
   the time.  Do as I say, and you'll have chicks all over you in no time    
   (but not before school's over).

       I have gotten a multitude of offers similar to yours this week, so I  
   am really responding to all that wrote me.  Our current WWW site is the   
   only "official" RCN site.  However, we will not dispute any other sites   
   that people create for our benefit.  RATM is doing a fantastic job        
   coordinating our current site and we feel that he is doing as good a job  
   as anyone else could do, if not far better.  However, RATM is a busy      
   man, and we don't want to overload him with other sites for him to        
   update.  So, I make the request of you : if you would like to put up a    
   WWW site containing some or all of RCN's issues, we will welcome the      
   offer.  However, it will be up to you to update the site weekly, and      
   keep it up to par.  We will, in support of your site, advertise it in     
   future issues of RCN (assuming you notify us of your work).

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I recently cruised into #Warez5 for a few hours and was suprised how  
   many times the word 'LAMER' came up.  People were kicked for every        
   reason possible and labeled as a 'LAMER'.  It's rather funny since most   
   of the people in the warez channels are faggots who leech in channel      
   #Fatefiles and talk about how ELITE they are.  Lame people seem to use    
   the term 'LAMER' to define anyone who they don't like.                    
                                                                             
       People who are more into the group scene usually define lamers as     
   people who have a bad attitude or are lazy.  It seems that the farther a  
   person gets in the scene the less inclined he is to brand some one a      
   'LAMER'.  They also view lameness as having a bad attitude or acting      
   like an asshole to others without reason.  The term 'LAMER' is way over   
   used in the scene.

   Dear Zord Scotch,                                                         
                                                                             
       Let's face it, the people that operate in #Warez5 are their own       
   bait.  I have absolutely nothing against the #WarezX channels.  It just   
   happens to be that they happen not to be my cup of tea, but whenever I    
   do join the channels, I am often amused at how people get kicked left     
   and right for being a 'LAMER', and all this by people who are lamers      
   themselves.  You are absolutely right in this matter.  However, about     
   #FateFiles, (#Exceed in case you didn't know it changed) the channel is   
   there to be leeched from, and I encourage all people, whether one I       
   would label as a 'LAMER' or not, to go there first when looking for       
   recent files.  Honestly, you get to leech and never get off IRC!!!

       Dear RCN,                                                             
                                                                             
       I have noticed lately that PCBoard PPEs are all looking the same      
   with only a few mods in the ansi's or strings.  It's time for some of     
   you BBS modders to go out and start making Renegade or Iniquity mods.     
   PCBoard is getting old fast.  It's file system is second to none (mostly  
   due to Boom Lab), but its message system is weak.  If there exists a new  
   system that has the file system of PCBoard with the message bases of      
   Renegade and Oblivion 2, can exist, modders should start to support it.   
                                                                             
       Iniquity is a nice looking BBS system.  Once it gets its bugs with    
   blind uploads and networking/multinode out of the way it will be a kick   
   ass system.  PPE coders should start to look at other systems since just  
   about every PPE that could possibly be done is already made.  The reason  
   that PCBoard is so popular is that there are so many mods for it out on   
   the boards.  Coders should start making new Renegade and Iniquity mods    
   that take all the strengths of PCBoard and give it to those systems.      
   Boards that use PCBoard are beginning to look all the same with all the   
   same or similar mods.  There is a need for Renegade and Ininuqity         
   modders who can make quality mods.  Some of you coders should start       
   cranking them out.  ACiD used to be the only group that had a Renegade    
   and Iniquity support section.  It would be cool if some warez groups      
   started to recruit some artists and coders and put them to work making    
   practical.

   Dear Skeelo Blow,                                                         
                                                                             
       I used to be a Renegade freak.   I still think it's by far the most   
   user-friendly BBS system, and I still don't know half of what PCBoard     
   can do because it's so hard to figure out.   I have the 4 commands I      
   know and need to use to be able to get around, leech, upload, and read    
   messages, and I don't think my knowledge of PCBoard will get much better  
   any time soon.   However, you're going to have a hard time arguing that   
   any other system is superior.  Why?  Simple.  Try running Renegade in     
   multinode.  2 nodes?  Cool.  Try 3.  Still alive?  You're lucky.   Try    
   16, like some of the larger boards in the scene (such as Park Central)    
   and you'll qickly find a crash.   PCB is the only system I know of that   
   can do that so well (except for WildCat, but I don't think I need to      
   waste my time commenting).   Still, though, I agree that it would be      
   nice if he Renegade modification groups came back around, many single     
   node boards still run it.

       It's great to see you back!  You did a great job with your past       
   issues and you're doing an even better job now!  I especially liked your  
   reviews section.  You told me anything and everything I'd ever wanted to  
   know about the groups at hand.                                            
                                                                             
       On a Wednesday a few months back, I joined #RCN on IRC and got your   
   very first issue from RCN-XDCC.  I giggled.  What a piece of shit!        
   Scary thing is that it was better than anything else that was out at the  
   time.  But just 4 weeks later, Issue #5, was just phenomenal, and now, I  
   look at issue #14, and I really have to congratulate you.  An amazing     
   group of writers and reporters. You deserve a nobel prize.

   excrutiating and time consuming, but it's comments like yours that keep

   DRJ : Stockade is the mother of all toad blowers.  It's kind of my        
         dedication to #Oldwarez.  It's a big old bot, run from my own       
         StockServ software, that contains at the time 479 of the best old   
         games.

   DRJ : I began with MiRAGE several years back (best run group I've ever    
         been in - Thanks Kafka F. Kaska), it then merged and became GRiM.   
         GRiM merged with iCE, so I joined a bunch of local groups (CHAOS,   
         NARC, MoS), then BoA and after a while iCE.  I quit iCE after 2-3   
         days of being in it because I realized that it was all bullshit,    
         no sense in being in that kind of group.  I had no affiliations     
         for two years until fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) stalked me.   
         I then joined 8088 which is now a defunct old warez release and     
         courier group which fell apart.  I quit fATE and that was it for    
         me.  I probably won't join any more groups.  I never got into that  
         kr4d 3l33t idea of affiliations anyways.  I can survive on my       
         handle alone.                                                       
                                                                             
   RCN : fATE stalked you, or did a persistent Krypto persuade you to join?

         Devaste) I hung out in #Fate.  Then, I saw the fATE's diz-tagger,   
         and lauged.  I coded a better diz-tagger and Anti Derivative let    
         me into the group.  Now my diz-tagger has been all hacked up and    
         is used by a lot of courier groups (too bad they never got the      
         latest version though).  Then I couriered my sweet will heart out   
         (10.5 gigs per day babee!).                                         
                                                                             
   RCN : What made you decide to come up with Stockade?                      
                                                                             
   DRJ : I started to get interested in old warez back in December when I    
         was with fATE.  I began to offer them, and my offer list grew to    
         the point of having 131 files on one XDCC List, I plisted in        
         #Oldwarez every 45 minutes, until I thought of a better way which   
         would be to automatically distribute automated text files with the  
         file list/descriptions in them.  Then I worked from there into      
         what it is now.                                                     
                                                                             
   RCN : The newest warez are what people seem to want most and is the       
         heart of the business.  Have you seen a similar resurgence in old   
         warez?                                                              
                                                                             
   DRJ : Not at all, in fact, I've seen more and more people cramming to     
         get into #Oldwarez.  The channel has only grown since I first       
         joined it 18 months ago.  People are fed up with 50 disk Doom       
         clones that sometimes work, but only on a Pentium 166MHz with 16    
         megabytes of RAM.  I think the smart people are the ones dealing    
         with #Oldwarez.  Then they're dealing with games that have been     
         proven to work, games that are programmed well and games that have  
         GAMEPLAY.  I haven't played a game written in the past two years    
         with any sense of gameplay in it.  It's all shoot-em-up, bang'em    
         out Doom clones and such.  They're all mindless dribble to feed     
         the masses I suppose.  What happened to the good stuff such as      
         Populous, Curse of the Azure Bonds, King's Quest IV, Dune II,       
         etc.?  I feel that the only game released in the past year or so    
         with any decent quality is Command and Conquer, but then again, it  
         only works well on a Pentium platform.                              
                                                                             
   RCN : How much old warez do you pile in every day?                        
                                                                             
   DRJ : I get around 40 to 60 megs of uploads per day.  Some of the         
         uploaded games are already online, some of the uploaded games       
         suck, and some are just way too big or too new.  But there's        
         usually about 10-20 games I can pick out per day to add onto the    
         bot.                                                                
                                                                             
   RCN : You were originally a member of fATE.  What made you decide to      
         leave fATE and was it your plan to leave fATE in order to further   
         develop Stockade?                                                   
                                                                             
   DRJ : Yes, I was originally in fATE (which by the way, was a REAL         
         hardcore rocking group, at least when I was in it).  Besides being  
         paranoid of my shell administrator, and being fed up with some of   
         the really unfair shit going on in groups, I did for a large part   
         leave so I could work on the old warez business.  You can say that  
         I finally "saw the light" and joined up with the #Oldwarez crew to  
         work on Stockade, which was originally nothing more than an         
         extremely long XDCC List called "OldJekyl".                         
                                                                             
   RCN : Are you glad you left fATE for the old warez scene?                 
                                                                             
   DRJ : I miss a lot of the old fATE crew, but those guys aren't even in    
         fATE anymore anyways.  I do miss the 5 am login to the sites,       
         writing my DCC lists, and running my XDCC-HTML convertor to make    
         the WWW for the slowbies.  There was a sort of a "thrill" involved  
         with new warez, an infatuation I suppose.  Everyone wants to try    
         the new warez, but in the end, old games are always more sought     
         out after.  I'm very glad I left the new shit alone.  The old       
         warez scene is more "homely" and down to earth.  And when you get   
         a game, you know that there's a 99% chance it's not a fake.  Old    
         warez, to put it short and sweet, blows the toad right outta any    
         new warez any day of the week.  Well, maybe Windows v1.03 isn't     
         that attractive, but I'm referring to games :)                      
                                                                             
   RCN : How often is Stockade accessed every day?                           
                                                                             
   DRJ : Stockade transfers about 500-1000 games a day.                      
                                                                             
   RCN : Where do you get most of your files from for Stockade?              
                                                                             
   DRJ : All the warez from Stockade come completely from donations.         
         Stockade is Stockade IV right now, which means it's the 4th time    
         it's started over from scratch.  In old warez, if you offer, you    
         can get mostly any game your heart desires.  So I just called out   
         for donations, and then gave those people who donated some leech    
         benefits, and so on.                                                
                                                                             
   RCN : Do you feel the old warez scene is overlooked and taken for         
         granted?                                                            
                                                                             
   DRJ : Overlooked?  Yes.  It's overlooked by a mass populous of the        
         "w4r3z-k1dd13s", which is good.  #Oldwarez isn't a place for        
         newbies who don't understand DOS or UNIX.  It's meant for people    
         who know what they're doing (for the most part anyways).  I think   
         it's advantageous that it's overlooked in that respect.  We         
         already have all the good people in it.  I'm not sure how the old   
         warez scene can be taken for granted though, every scene is.        
                                                                             
   RCN : Stockade has been down 3 times prior.  What problems can account    
         for these 3 shutdowns?                                              
                                                                             
   DRJ : I got shut down because of my stupidity.  I used the ISP's          
         "ghosted" FTP server as an uploads site.  Once I found out that     
         they found the warez, it was instant rm -R.  Stockade II went down  
         because of more paranoia.  No biggy.  Stockade III went down        
         because I was stupid yet again.  Since my ISP is pretty much        
         abandoned, and no one but me really IRCs from it, I decided to      
         make the source code world-writable so I could access it from all   
         my accounts.  BIG BOOBOO!  One of the ISP dorks, who used to be     
         the cosysop of a big warez board in 305 ironically, felt that he    
         did not like the fact that I was using up the ISP's resources.  So  
         he planted a small backdoor into the code so that whenever I        
         updated the .NFO/WWW/.DCC data files, it would email the root, "I   
         am the hacker."  The root didn't like that.                         
                                                                             
   RCN : Way before you started Stockade, and even before fATE, you were     
         involved in a warez operation called "The Gate."  What was that?    
                                                                             
   DRJ : "The Gate" or "Under the Gate" was my experiment in bourne shell    
         coding on CyberGate.  I stumbled upon a group of piraters on        
         gate.net which had pooled their quota's together so they could get  
         warez from each other.  So I then made "The Gate" a BBS-type        
         atmosphere (complete with file areas, graffiti walls, etc.), and    
         got a few hacked accounts together to create what you could say     
         was a 0-day BBS which offered 200 megs of 0-day warez, all run      
         from CyberGate.  Unfortunately, one of the system administrators    
         noticed that there were lots of users accessing a certain           
         directory (even with all my encryption ploys) and managed to bust   
         all the hacked accounts along with a few legitimate ones.           
         Ironically, I talked to that system administrator a month ago and   
         he suggested that I restart CyberGate.  Unfortunatley I'm moving    
         to Sweden soon.                                                     
                                                                             
   RCN : Many people had to log onto BBSes to retrieve old warez, was the    
         Stockade created as an alternative to this hassle?                  
                                                                             
   DRJ : Stockade was created as a "BBS over IRC" type deal.  Many BBSes do  
         not offer old warez anymore.  Stockade is an intelligent tool that  
         helps to distribute and increase the variety of old warez in        
         #Oldwarez.  I got rather bored of the same old warez being offered  
         day in and day out.  I think Stockade has been rather successful.   
                                                                             
   RCN : Why is Stockade consisted of only games?                            
                                                                             
   DRJ : I used to run a new utils bot as well called [Spatula], but I       
         found it was a lot easier to find new utils than old games.  It's   
         like looking for today's newspaper, as opposed to trying to find    
         the New York times from April, 1947.  I didn't want to offer old    
         utils, because they're useless.  I find it more of a joke than      
         anything else.  I deleted [Spatula] eventually because I wanted to  
         have the hard disk space to further expand the library of games     
         found on Stockade.                                                  
                                                                             
   RCN : I've noticed the offer bot's online handle changes ever so          
         frequently.  Why is this done?                                      
                                                                             
   DRJ : The handle changes quite frequently due to the evils of word of     
         mouth.  While I do like the fact that many people are using         
         Stockade, I don't want many of the WRONG people using Stockade.     
         This prevents people from channels other than #Oldwarez from using  
         Stockade, and so mean old nasty NARC's don't find it...             
                                                                             
   RCN : Is Stockade run off a custom sript or is it based on other          
         offering scripts?                                                   
                                                                             
   DRJ : The "HEART" of Stockade is StockServ v2.1, which is my own 100%     
         original design, coded in 100% bourne shell (bourne shell is 100%   
         compatible on EVERY ISP) which automatically creates the DCC        
         datafile, NFO file, and the optional WWW.  StockServ interacts      
         with IRC via a frontend, which is your standard every day IRC       
         script tweaked to support StockServ.  It comes in two flavors       
         right now, VeNoM and Atlantis, and eventually there will be Fluff   
         Phoenix and mIRC (via a DOS version of StockServ due out soon).     
         The brilliant part of StockServ is that there's NO compiling        
         required (for those hard-assed administrators who don't allow it),  
         and that you can actually IRC your bot as if it were a normal IRC   
         script.                                                             
                                                                             
   RCN : All files on Stockade are free, correct?                            
                                                                             
   DRJ : Stockade is 100% free with no minimum transfer speeds.  I would     
         never operate any differently.  The only restriction is the number  
         of slots, which is 3 for non-donators, and unlimited for donators.  
         #Oldwarez is about free unrestricted old warez.  Therefore, so is   
         Stockade.                                                           
                                                                             
   RCN : Stockade was once available via the WWW.  What happened to this     
         option?                                                             
                                                                             
   DRJ : StockServ does automatically program the WWW interface, but the     
         reason why Stockade no longer has a WWW site is that there are no   
         longer any fast anonymous FTP's for me to use.  So alas, it's only  
         IRC this time.

   DRJ : To begin with, don't bother the people in #Oldwarez about it.       
         They get annoyed about it and they won't crack either.  You can     
         message me, I'll probably be away though, if I like you, I might    
         reply.  But the best way to get on Stockade would be to get         
         involved with #Oldwarez, just hang out with the crew.  Lamers need  
         not bother.

   DRJ : Just DCC them over to me.  If they're old, and not too insanely     
         huge, I'll add it to the Stockade.  By the way, a Stockade CD is    
         in the works.

   RCN : What is your current position in Motiv8?                            
                                                                             
   DES : I am Motiv8 Council.  I basically watch over the group, find fast   
         couriers, and fast FTP sites, etc.  I also protect the channel.  I  
         make sure the group doesn't die like the rumors say it's going to   
         happen.                                                             
                                                                             
   RCN : How was M8 founded?                                                 
                                                                             
   DES : Well, I am not fimilar with all the history.  I know that MASON     
         founded it.  He's still with us.  It had some people that left and  
         quit.  Igor was a council member along with Davan when I merged     
         tNt with M8 but they quit within a week.  So I had to take the      
         place of Davan/Igor by watching the group and Davan's job           
         "couriering".  I do a little couriering to some of our FTP sites.   
         I also do what Igor was supposed to do which was to watch the       
         group make sure it never dies, etc.                                 
                                                                             
   RCN : In recent news, Davan and Igor left M8.  How can you account for    
         him leaving?                                                        
                                                                             
   DES : Well I think they both left for perfectly good reasons.  Davan      
         didn't almost kill the group the night he left.  Igor almost did    
         though because obviously he did most of the work for months, which  
         shouldn't happen in a group.  It's very hard running a 1 man group  
         and some couriers.  Igor always loved M8 but MASON just wasn't      
         showing up so Igor quit for MALiCE and Davan quit for Amnesia,      
         both of which are top groups and I don't blame them.  I just        
         wished they'd give it another week.  Oh well, but like I said,      
         Igor left for a reason and I agree with his actions.                
                                                                             
   RCN : How has Igor's absence effected M8?                                 
                                                                             
   DES : Well Igor had a FTP site that he was co-site operator on.  One of   
         the best in the world.  We lost it when he went to MALiCE.  He      
         made sure everyone was cool and just hearing the fact that Igor     
         left made couple top people quit for other groups.  Oh well, I've   
         got the group doing a lot better.  I got FTP sites and couriers.    
         Unlike other groups I have a real easy time finding FTP sites.  I   
         find us 2 a week usually, we currently got quite a few.  That's     
         what's keeping us alive, our FTP sites and site operators.          
                                                                             
   RCN : For what reasons do you feel Davan left M8?                         
                                                                             
   DES : Davan quit for the same reason.  Davan was just a courier in most   
         people's opinions.  He did good, but he made the couriering part    
         for us great along with Igor.  Davan was offered to go to Amnesia   
         and they are mostly winning everywhere along with RiSC, DGT,        
         MALiCE, RTS, or whatever you think.  When he left, it didn't        
         really hurt us but his couriering hurt us.  When Igor quit, THAT    
         almost killed us.  Most of the members knew that Igor ran the       
         group for the most part.  He merged M8 with tNt so M8 wouldn't die  
         after he left.                                                      
                                                                             
   RCN : Approximately how many people have left M8 since the tNt merger?    
                                                                             
   DES : About 5 people have left, but these people were like Davan, Igor,   
         Caserd, and a couple others.  That is ok, I thought it'd be a lot   
         more but I've replaced them all besides Igor, cause you can't       
         replace him.  He basically kept the group alive then.               
                                                                             
   RCN : Could you explain to us why there was a merger between M8 and tNt   
         to begin with?                                                      
                                                                             
   DES : Well tnt noticed M8 offered quite a few FTP sites which tNt was     
         losing on through the summer.  I wanted a lot more top couriers,    
         also we had 2 or 3 GREAT couriers.  Now we have a lot of people     
         that are capable and I am accepting people who can courier like a   
         gig if that much is released each week.                             
                                                                             
   RCN : What effect has the merger brought about?                           
                                                                             
   DES : Well, we're twice as powerful with M8 and we are doing better with  
         all these FTP sites.

   DES : None.                                                               
                                                                             
   RCN : It's well known of M8's strength in FTP sites.  Considering most    
         FTP sites are college based, many of them will go down this         
         summer.  How do you feel this will effect M8?                       
                                                                             
   DES : Actually, I have managed to find us TONS of FTP sites that are up   
         in the summer, which most groups can't do.  Well that's a strength  
         and I blocked the hole that made us lose all these FTP sites.       
         Yes, we have lost a few but oh well...

   DES : Well, just these rumors and other couriering groups stealing our    
         FTP sites and couriers.  I have tried to get them back and that's   
         about it.                                                           
                                                                             
   RCN : Since the #Fatefiles days, #M8Leech was not rather successful.      
         But in recent days, #M8Leech is now comparable to today's #Exceed   
         (#Exceed was previously known as #Fatefiles).  How do you account   
         for this recent success?                                            
                                                                             
   DES : Well basically, I ignore #M8Leech for reasons most people do.  FTP  
         sites are fine with me.  I'll let the IRC division run that which   
         I usually don't touch.  Another problem is that we have to find     
         bots and people to get the channel back which is a big hassle.      
         #Exceed is loaded with people you never want to meet, if you catch  
         my drift.  #M8Leech is turning just as bad.  So I tell the IRC      
         division to just have fun since I really don't care :)

         little less and courier a little more.  If I can work on

         and couriers, but that's life.  These little lamers in some group   
         last week said they could beat the whole M8 team with their 2400

   SMO : Well, we're five models from Miami, Florida.  We all work in the    
         same modeling studio and so we decided to rent an apartment         
         between the five of us.  The studio sent us a computer along with   
         some Internet software to work with, I don't know why they sent us  
         one, we're models, we don't really have a need for computers.  All  
         we have to do is look good in front of the camera.  Anyways,        
         Sailor Venus started messing around on IRC and we stumbled upon     
         warez.  Sailor Venus' boytoy (men are just toys meant for           
         beautiful women to abuse) is a district manager of Egghead.  So     
         Sailor Venus started teaching him about the Internet, and soon,     
         got us all hooked on it.  We realized that Sailor Venus' boytoy     
         could help us supply with some new warez, we decided to help out    
         the scene, and thus, we formed Sailor Moon.

   SMO : I didn't.  We're all big fans of the Japanese Animation "Sailor     
         Moon : Pretty Soldier" (the North American version translated by    
         DIC is horrible compared to the original Japanese series).          
         Anyways, we realized that we wanted to name our group after         
         something we liked, and I came up with the idea to start the        
         group, so I named myself Sailor Moon, and gave my 4 roommates       
         handles as well.                                                    
                                                                             
   RCN : I've been seeing a lot of warez released lately by your group,      
         Sailor Moon, some of them were useless PUD files (aka WarCraft II   
         Expansion Set : Beyond the Dark Portal), and the rest were          
         basically kids software.                                            
                                                                             
   SMO : We really don't care about that quality and quantity bullshit.      
         When Sailor Venus' boyfriend gets us a release, we attach the       
         diz/nfo and we send it via our T1.  We don't have time to worry     
         about any other bullshit.  If you were living with us, you'd        
         understand what being a model is like; we have hectic schedules     
         everyday and we can only find time for releasing on weekends.  You  
         can look at us as a very relaxed group, we don't even have a        
         public IRC channel.  We all live together, if we want something     
         done, I just talk to my friends.

   SMO : We haven't given him a handle yet, and we aren't planning to.  You  
         see, Sailor Moon is a girls group only.  We're not looking for any  
         more suppliers, and we're not looking for any more members.  If we  
         like someone and we think they can help the group, I'll just

       I talked to her on the phone later that day, but could not convince   
   her to tell me which magazines she's been in, or to send me one of her    
   photo shoots in gif or jpg format.  She sounded like a really nice        
   person over the phone, but she sounded awfully bitchy over IRC (kind      
   of reminds me of Winterhawk, but Winterhawk is not exactly a model).      
   She's a model, I guess it's natural for her to act that way.

   RCN : A few months ago, you were the President of a jumpstart courier     
         group called dCS (Designated Courier Specialists).  It didnt'       
         surprise me much that it died within a week.  It lacked             
         leadership, talent, and enthusiasm, along with many other things    
         found in a good courier group.  However, right after dCS died, I    
         saw that you immediately became the President of another new        
         courier group, Empire.  Empire has not only outlived the one week   
         group stage, but it's survived for months now and is showing its    
         presence in the scene.  How'd you do it Marbz?                      
                                                                             
   MAR : dCS was more of a learning experience for me and for most of my     
         members, from that experience I met some good traders and got more  
         insight on how to run shit.  Then I decided to do it right this     
         second time with Empire and now here I am.                          
                                                                             
   RCN : So one day, you were running dCS, and then you said to yourself,    
         "I'm not doing this right", and the very next day, you came up      
         with.. Empire?  That's how your groups evolved?  It must have been  
         more than a one day thing.                                          
                                                                             
   MAR : Haha.. no it took me a few weeks to realize dCS was going           
         downhill.  I just thought some things over and tried to work some   
         shit out.  But when it came down to it, I really didnt have the     
         members nor the leadership I needed to keep it together.  So I      
         talked to some of the guys I thought were doing a good job and who  
         knew what they were doing, and we decided to form Empire.           
                                                                             
   RCN : So not everyone from dCS made it to Empire, you had to do some      
         "CUTTING" hey?  You felt that dCS was going downhill and that you   
         didn't have the leadership?  So you LACKED leadership qualities     
         while you were the President of dCS, how then, did you suddenly     
         develop your skills, or did you start Empire with a friend, and he  
         provided the needed leadership, and thus, deserves the real credit  
         for making Empire what it is today, a very strong upcoming courier  
         group.                                                              
                                                                             
   MAR : Not everyone from dCS made it to Empire.  In fact only a few did.   
         The mistake I made with dCS was that I was too easy in letting      
         members in.  I didn't check up on them.  I didn't even put them on  
         trial.  The other major thing that didn't happen was my seniors.    
         They were just plain lazy and never helped out.  So I just started  
         talking to some other leaders and shit and picked up pointers here  
         and there.                                                          
                                                                             
   RCN : Yes, I can tell you've improved a lot just by looking at your       
         Empire NFO, I can see some very big names.  Our readers, some of    
         who will some day run their own groups, would like to know, how     
         you recruited such big names.  For example, how'd you recruit       
         "Arch Magi", who runs a 13 node ISDN board (ex-Razor 1911 Courier   
         HQ, ex-Legacy World HQ). Also, how'd you recruit "Mike and Dave"    
         one of the BEST long distance bluebox couriers from Holland?        
                                                                             
   MAR : Well, mainly just by being in the scene and meeting new people.     
         That's all you can really do in order to start getting familiar     
         with the scene and how it works.                                    
                                                                             
   RCN : How would you rate Empire compared to the big groups such as RiSC,  
         Amnesia, Digital, and fATE?  A lot of people are starting to        
         consider Empire one of the top courier groups?  How has Empire      
         been successful in the scene compared to the other groups?          
                                                                             
   MAR : I don't feel that Empire is ready to compete to its full            
         potential.  RiSC has been in the scene for some time and their      
         leaders know what they are doing and have the experience.  Empire   
         isn't mature enought YET.  They've been around the block and they   
         know what they are doing.  I don't really know a lot about Amnesia  
         but they look to me like they know what the fuck they are doing.    
         In this point in time I don't feel that Empire has the experience   
         to compete against them but in the long run, we'll make it up to    
         their status.                                                       
                                                                             
   RCN : Well, at least you're being honest, but you forgot to mention       
         about fATE and Digital?                                             
                                                                             
   MAR : I'd rather not please.                                              
                                                                             
   RCN : How many private FTP sites do Empire members have access to?        
                                                                             
   MAR : We currently have 4 private FTP sites.                              
                                                                             
   RCN : Many courier groups have sites which are run through connections    
         through their college.  And thus, many courier groups take a big    
         hit when summer time rolls along and all the college linked sites   
         go down, will summer time have a big effect for Empire?             
                                                                             
   MAR : Yes, Empire will be losing 2 sites because of it and those 2 sites  
         are run by some of our best members.  Yes, it will definitely       
         effect us.

   MAR : We have had oppurtunites to become official for some very large     
         groups but have not taken up on the offer.                          
                                                                             
   RCN : Which groups?                                                       
                                                                             
   MAR : I cannot say.                                                       
                                                                             
   RCN : Why did you not take up their offers?                               
                                                                             
   MAR : Well, for one thing they weren't very organised.  They could        
         release, but I could tell that they were not as active as they      
         were a few years back.                                              
                                                                             
   RCN : Since Empire is not officials for anyone, do you find it hard to    
         find stuff to tag?  Do you guys tag at all, double tag, or strip    
         tag?                                                                
                                                                             
   MAR : We will NEVER double or strip tag because theres no point in doing  
         that.  But yes, we do tag if we find a new warez that's not been    
         tagged.  Since most of our traders are in other release groups we   
         can get a release the minute it's released.                         
                                                                             
   RCN : Do you courier warez that's been tagged by Empire? or do you guys   
         still courier anything and everything regardless of who tagged it?  
                                                                             
   MAR : Yes, we trade all warez.  If they are tagged we don't tag them.     
         We just kindly pass the warez along.

     Reporter : Rebel Chicken             Interviewee : The Wicked One       
     Subject  : MindCrash???  Uh...       Affiliation : DMT President

   RCN : A few months ago, you were once the president of top-notch courier  
         group known as MC (MindCrash).  However, it died mysteriously and   
         many are not aware of your new ventures.  But before we get to      
         your new group, let's go through how MC died?                       
                                                                             
   TWO : MC got to be so big and out of hand that trouble was erupting       
         everywhere.  I had to leave the scene for a period due to having    
         to get other things straightened out.  When I left, I put Avoozl    
         in charge (Avoozl had left the group before due to outside          
         problems).  Many people thought my vice-president, Blitzkrieg       
         should have been put in charge, and the only reason I did not       
         leave him in charge was that I could talk to Avoozl voice every     
         day and in that way, still semi-run the group.  People started      
         saying that maybe Blitzkrieg should start his own group, which he   
         did, called IMP (Impulse).                                          
                                                                             
   RCN : Did you know beforehand that Blitzkrieg was planning to start his   
         own courier group?                                                  
                                                                             
   TWO : Yes.  Knowing beforehand what was going to happen, Avoozl and I     
         decided to just abandon the MC name altogether and start fresh      
         with something new.  Blitzkrieg's group quickly merged into DGT     
         (Digital).  We took the main ideal of quality and offered MC's      
         best couriers a spot in the new group.                              
                                                                             
   RCN : What is the name of your new group?                                 
                                                                             
   TWO : We call ourselves DMT (DarkMoon Traders).                           
                                                                             
   RCN : How many members are there in DMT?                                  
                                                                             
   TWO : DMT is currently consisted of about 20 members.  Of the 20          
         members, 7 are site operators.                                      
                                                                             
   RCN : When your new group started up, did you invite all your old MC      
         members, or only some?  If you invited only some, did you invite    
         Blitzkrieg and Devast into DMT?  Blitzkrieg and Devast are          
         currently DGT leaders, who were both ex-MC.                         
                                                                             
   TWO : I only invited the top members of MC.  Only 3 of the people who     
         were invited did not come with me.  I did not invite Blitzkrieg     
         because he was heavy into making his new group.  Devast was kicked  
         out of MC a long time ago and he has never forgotten it, so I did   
         not think it would be a good idea to make him a part of DMT.        
                                                                             
   RCN : Who were the 3 people who rejected your proposal?                   
                                                                             
   TWO : The 3 people who rejected my proposal were, Swamper who is now in   
         Digital, Tutt who is now in.. I have no clue, and Chrome who is     
         now in Motiv8.                                                      
                                                                             
   RCN : You mentioned to me earlier that your group works underground, why  
         have you kept DMT's presence underground?  Will it not make it      
         harder for good couriers and site operators to apply for the        
         group?                                                              
                                                                             
   TWO : Yes, it is very hard to get in touch with DMT.  If they're good     
         enough, they'll find us.  The reason we decided to keep it          
         underground is that it keeps our members hidden from federal        
         agents.  It gives an added element of security.  Besides, we        
         aren't into egos and we're all past that bullshit.  We don't need   
         people to TELL us we're good, we KNOW we're good.                   
                                                                             
   RCN : So you guys don't even have an NFO?                                 
                                                                             
   TWO : Our NFO file only has an email address where you can reach us, and  
         a little information about the group at the bottom.                 
                                                                             
   RCN : Since DMT is so underground, how would someone apply?               
                                                                             
   TWO : To get in touch with DMT, just email changj@webe.hooked.net.        
                                                                             
   RCN : If you look at DMT in it's current status, do you think it's        
         reached the level MC reached during its peak a few months back?     
         Do you believe you'll be able to repeat the magic twice?            
                                                                             
   TWO : DMT lacks the numbers of MC, but the quality of the couriers is     
         much better overall.  There is no question as to what everyone's    
         purpose is in the group, and with time DMT will easily become       
         better than MC ever was.  I don't know if I can repeat magic, but   
         I'm still the same person, I just work a little more efficiently,   
         and have more top-notch couriers to work with.                      
                                                                             
   RCN : Even though DMT is underground, have you guys attempted to recruit  
         official release groups to courier for?                             
                                                                             
   TWO : We attempted to recruit Fierce at one time, but Fierce chose DGT.   
                                                                             
   RCN : Have you encountered any problems with old MC members while         
         starting DMT?                                                       
                                                                             
   TWO : There have hardly been any problems at all.  It's been an easy      
         transition, our members are so dedicated I must give all credit to  
         them.                                                               
                                                                             
   RCN : There are groups such as Everlast that have gone underground and    
         many consider that they're at least as good as RiSC if not better,  
         which only goes to show that an underground group is by far NOT     
         handicapped because it is underground.  Do you feel that DMT will   
         be considered in competition in the same manner as Everlast is to   
         the rest of the scene?                                              
                                                                             
   TWO : Everlast is made up of guys who stick together and are a team much  
         like DMT.  They let the work they do speak for themselves, as do    
         we.

   RCN : PTA (Power Trading Arsenal) Couriers have been around for a few     
         weeks now, and has started to show its presence in the couriering   
         scene, where did it spawn from?  Why did you decide to create PTA?  
                                                                             
   IMP : I started by joining DiC (Domination In Couriering).  I became a    
         small BBS Courier for them.  Then Blackened (President of DiC)      
         killed DiC and joined fATE, I was left with no group to courier     
         for.  I then heard that one of the vice-presidents of DiC was in    
         the process of creating a new courier group called FCC (First       
         Class Couriering).  I became the art coordinator for FCC and soon   
         became FCC's general coordinator.  FCC then changed its name to     
         SMC (Smooth Moving Couriers).  One day, the President of FCC told   
         me that he no longer had the time to run the group, so I took over  
         the group, and within a week, I changed its name to PTA since SMC   
         was already in use.                                                 
                                                                             
   RCN : There are already tons of couriering groups out there, what makes   
         PTA different?  How wil it stand out from the rest?                 
                                                                             
   IMP : We will stand out from the rest because all our couriers are        
         dedicated.  We have worked EXTREMELY hard to get to where we are    
         at.  We don't double or strip tag, and our group is made up of a    
         circle of friends.  We have come to trust one another.  We are all  
         dedicated to our job immensely.                                     
                                                                             
   RCN : Through that trust, have you encountred any problems running the    
         group or in getting people to improve in their couriering           
         abilities?  What happens when someone slacks off and gets lazy?     
         Will you kick a FRIEND out of your group, or is he allowed to take  
         leave when needed?                                                  
                                                                             
   IMP : Well, if a member gets lazy, which a few have, we will give them    
         time to make a comeback.  If they don't put in any effort, I will   
         personally talk with the member, find out the problems and we will  
         make an agreement.  Either they agree to go down a position or      
         work harder.                                                        
                                                                             
   RCN : That is a very good method.  How many members are there in PTA?     
                                                                             
   IMP : We have approximately 35 members.                                   
                                                                             
   RCN : How many Private FTP sites are run by PTA?                          
                                                                             
   IMP : We currently have access to 2 private FTP sites.                    
                                                                             
   RCN : Many courier groups enter a slump during the summer because         
         they're site operators who have to leave their college during the   
         summer break, will that have an effect on any of PTA's sites?       
                                                                             
   IMP : It may have an effect on 1 site, but we will most likely have a     
         new one soon so we will always have the same ammount of stable      
         sites until school is back, then we will have all 3 together once   
         more.                                                               
                                                                             
   RCN : You are a very new leader since you have not had anyone to learn    
         leadership skills from.  You were in a group called DiC which died  
         in a matter of weeks, do you feel that PTA might turn out to be a   
         group with no potential as the weeks roll by?  What are your        
         future plans for PTA?                                               
                                                                             
   IMP : I've always been a good leader.  I run a really successfull art     
         group that does work for 613/819 area.  We are the dominating       
         artists of that area.  I feel that we have a lot of potential.  I   
         try not to make any bad mistakes, and I haven't made any bad        
         mistakes so far.  I think before I act, and I'm a nice guy.  I      
         don't get pissed off at people for nothing.  I am friends with a    
         lot of presidents around the scene.  My plans for PTA is to become  
         feared by other courier groups.  I want PTA to become widely        
         known.  I want newbies to look up to PTA like how many look up to   
         RiSC and fATE.                                                      
                                                                             
   RCN : Great, so your main goal in the scene is to become well known, do   
         you feel that as your group does gain it's deserved respect, that   
         your group trust might fall apart since members might be striving   
         toward selfishness and ego trips?                                   
                                                                             
   IMP : I don't think many other courier groups respect us yet.  The trust  
         won't fall apart because were all friends.  Anyone that's gets off  
         on an ego trip will be approached, and given a little reality       
         check (no pun intended).  If they don't realize what they're        
         doing, then the other seniors and I talk it over with them.  I      
         work with each and every member personally, some presidents I know  
         don't even know half his members.  I want total control over my     
         group.  I want to keep it on track.                                 
                                                                             
   RCN : Is there a central message that you'd like to inform the scene      
         concerning PTA?                                                     
                                                                             
   IMP : I'd like to say that PTA is not a group of '3L1T3 Pricks'.  I'd     
         also like to thank Locutous.  He's been one of the best members     
         I've ever worked with.  He's helped the group a lot and is greatly  
         appreciated.

   INC : Well, I think it has done well in the past.  But, it's reputation   
         was basically ruined because of the incident.

         Road Rebel over the supply of a certain program to Legacy           
         Entertainment, and RoadRebel called up a beta tester for that       
         company and "Narqed" on WaveRider, and well, The rest is history.

         immediately and in turn recruits someone more productive such as    
         Entropy.

   INC : Yes, I do.  Wave Rider is a friend of mine and he suffered just     
         because Road Rebel wanted to be an ASSHOLE, he took it WAY TOO

   self-righteously call "The Incident", you also take it upon yourself to   
   rack on a very special friend of mine, ROAD REBEL.  Neither I nor Hitex   
   would give a care in the world whether or not Road Rebel's membership     
   does effect RCN's reputation.  Road Rebel is a part of RCN, and he's      
   staying a part of RCN, whether you like it or not...

   UNI : I was the President of AOF (Arsenists on Fire).  I was also a       
         member of DMN (Demolition), ROR (Release on Rampage), and MTY       
         (Mortality).  I've been in the scene for about 2 years now but I    
         was kicked in November of 1995.                                     
                                                                             
   RCN : I see you were the President of a group that actually lasted        
         longer than 2 months, a group that actually released a few worth    
         while games and utils.  Why did you leave AOF?                      
                                                                             
   UNI : I didn't actually want to leave AOF, I was "forced" to resign.      
                                                                             
   RCN : Why were you forced to resign and by whom?                          
                                                                             
   UNI : Well, I was forced to leave because Tha Stuff, Demon, and           
         Skyscraper said that I was an immature President and that I can't   
         run a group.  AOF was a releasing group, we released a few          
         releases and a release that DOD duped.  We had a lot of really      
         talented suppliers, a few from Borland and Microsoft.  Skyscraper   
         said that I could stay and supply for them, but I thought about     
         it, from being a President to being a supplier, it was not a good   
         deal.  A month after my forced resignation, I saw that it had       
         merged into COPS, BLAH!                                             
                                                                             
   RCN : What is your current opinion on COPS?  There are serveral members   
         stating that "COPS is lame and they have to get their shit          
         together."                                                          
                                                                             
   UNI : I think that COPS can be "okay" if they put their shit together,    
         like you said, and I don't think that they are very organized,      
         especially not if they release shit like BLAKE STONE, a program     
         from 1993 with an engine similar to Wolfenstine 3D.                 
                                                                             
   RCN : When you were forced to resign as President of AOF, did you just    
         leave?  After all, you were the President, you should have at       
         least had some power in the way things got done.  Was there a lack  
         of leadership from your part, or were there power struggles         
         between seniors and members, or was there just a lot of the same    
         old ego bullshit?                                                   
                                                                             
   UNI : Well, I didn't feel like having a fight with Tha Stuff, I thought   
         he deserved a little bit more power, so I made him vice-president,  
         I think he got a little carried away with "power".

         leaving.

   UNI : I think I might try to join a highly respected releasing group, or  
         maybe getting a FTP site and then joining PWA or DOD.               
                                                                             
   RCN : Are you comfortable coming back into the scene?  Do you feel that   
         Tha Stuff, Demon, or Skyscraper might bug you or harass you in any  
         way?                                                                
                                                                             
   UNI : Hehehe, I ain't scared SHIT of Tha Stuff, Demon, Skyscraper, or     
         anyone else.  Just one little extra comment, Revolution-X should    
         merge into COPS, that way, both groups can be lame together.

              my shell account.  I *WOULD* be couriering to MALiCE FTP       
              sites, but I'm not on ANY :)                                   
                                                                             
   <Frost> Can someone send me the IPs LA, CRC, and Enigma so I can check    
           if Winterhawk put me on those FTP sites.                          
                                                                             
   <DigiVamp> Haha Frost!!!  Yeah right, if anyone gives out the IPs to      
              those sites without permission gets deleted and nuked.  I      
              will not give out the IPs to my mother.                        
                                                                             
   <Frost> Who the hell should I ask now that Winterhawk is gone?            
                                                                             
   <IrnSteel> Pray to God and cross your fingers...                          
                                                                             
   <Frost> Tell me Digital Vampire, who the hell would want to join a group  
           that only has one FTP site?                                       
                                                                             
   <IrnSteel> It's not about FTP sites.  It's about trading.

              a week to fix things.

   <Ranik> Deathwind, the group is split and fucked up.

   <HeadHunter> Now I see Digital Vampire trying to take over and run        
                MALiCE.                                                      
                                                                             
   <DigiVamp> Ranik, I kindly asked that you give me a week.                 
                                                                             
   <Ranik> Head Hunter, that's correct.

   <HeadHunter> I don't want the group to die.  I want Dorian Hawkmoon and   
                Jake the Snake to fix things.

   <HeadHunter> Good, he should have left the group sooner, then this

   <DigiVamp> Head Hunter, you are just mad because I want to make           
              something of MALiCE and you want to see it die. I dont want    
              to take over the group, I NEVER said that nor would I ever do  
              that.

   <DigiVamp> I am willing to do my part to HELP.                            
                                                                             
   <Wintrhwk> I have wanted to leave for quite a bit, I have been unhappy    
              in general.  LeoDLion and I are constantly fighting for an     
              entire group and the strain has become unbearable.             
                                                                             
   <Wintrhwk> Dorian, Jake the Snake and Master Hacker are still running     
              this group.  LeoDLion and I are independent right now, but     
              that does not mean we will stay independent.  I am not         
              againint MALiCE nor anyone here.  I would help any of you in   
              the future however I can, but LeoDLion and I deserved a lot    
              more respect than what we were getting.                        
                                                                             
   <Deathwind> Agreed.                                                       
                                                                             
   <Wintrhwk> People leave groups.  MALiCE survived a big break up in        
              February.  It will survive once more.  Good luck to you all.

   <IrnSteel> We lost them because they left.  I'm not in here to suck dick  
              so people decide to stay.

   <HeadHunter> They put in 16 hours a day for MALiCE.                       
                                                                             
   <Deathwind> Face it MALiCE fucked up.                                     
                                                                             
   <HeadHunter> Anyways, like I give a shit. I just wanted to voice my       
                opinions, something I'm great at doing.  They didn't leave   
                just because of today.                                       
                                                                             
   <MastrHack> They left because they were tired of busting their asses for  
               MALiCE and people where just bitching at them all the time.   
                                                                             
   <IrnSteel> Well some can be leaders, and some can't.  What can I say      
              Master Hacker?  This is all supposed to be fun.                
                                                                             
   <Deathwind> BULLSHIT Iron Steel, they worked their asses off and got no   
               credit for it.                                                
                                                                             
   <HeadHunter> Master Hacker, I hope you saw Digital Vampire's attempt to   
                take over the group.                                         
                                                                             
   <Deathwind> Iron Steel get this straight, they were MALiCE, and without   
               them, the group is now nothing.                               
                                                                             
   <Frost> This shit is really starting to suck.  I don't know shit about    
           running a group, and I don't really give a fuck, but I sure know  
           that there's been enough fighting in this fucking channel today,  
           so why can't you guys just shut up for a while?                   
                                                                             
   <MastrHack> I wish we could just somehow fix things.  I don't like this   
               at all.

       he group has gone through a lot of troubles in the past, but by far,  
   this is the biggest hurdle it has yet faced.  As mentioned in the log     
   by Winterhawk, Dorian Hawkmoon and Jake the Snake, the leaders of MALiCE  
   are still with the group, and still in charge.  However, the majority of  
   the group does not share in her optimism.

       On Sunday, May 19th, RCN issue #14 was released on channel #RCN at    
   approximately 9 pm Eastern Standard Time.  Included in every issue of     
   RCN is a Warez-IQ test, and on this particular test, there included a     
   question as follows :                                                     
                                                                             
   5 Drapper runs a FTP site from this well known college/university :     
                                                                             
       [ ] A. University of California Berkeley                              
       [ ] B. Diablo Valley College                                          
       [ ] C. Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges                                 
       [] D. Massachusetts Institute of Technology                          
                                                                             
       The correct answer to the above question is "D".  Drapper informed    
   RCN at 1:30 am of the next day that his FTP site called "The Temple"      
   was *BUSTED* by MIT personnel as a result of RCN's quiz question.  In     
   theory, if what Drapper said was true, then it is safe to say that        
   within a timespan of 4 hours, the MIT personnel downloaded RCN issue      
   #14, read the Warez-IQ Questions, and in shock, got a warrant to *BUST*   
   Drapper's FTP site.  It is also safe to assume that if Drapper's story    
   was true, then the MIT personnel considers the information found in RCN   
   to be quite accurate, and accurate enough that they would bust someone    
   without consulting other possible references.  Not only that, the MIT     
   personnel would have to had bust Drapper sometime between 9pm and 1:30am  
   on a Sunday night.                                                        
                                                                             
       In reality, none of what Drapper said occurred.  He was not busted,   
   and if his FTP site, "The Temple", was not operative during the week,     
   it's only because he took it down of his onw accord in a pathetic         
   attempt of winning people's sympathy.  Fortunately, people are smart      
   enough not to believe in his recently concocted story.                    
                                                                             
       The following is a log file where Drapper is seen in channel #RCN     
   threatening to libel against RCN's reputation :

   Session Start : Mon May 20 01:30:55 1996                                  
                                                                             
   <Drapper> I am going to post everywhere that the RCN editors, Hitex and   
             Rebel Chicken, are narcs.  And I am sure that people are more   
             inclined to trust a FTP site operator that has just been        
             busted rather than two lame RCN editors.                        
                                                                             
   <Chrome> Drapper, from what I've heard, you had other FTP site bust       
            problems even before RCN released issue #14.                     
                                                                             
   <Drapper> The fact that I had deleted both Hitex and Rebel Chicken from   
             my FTP site must have pissed them off and driven them to narc   
             on me.                                                          
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Drapper, let's just say this much, if you do start posting those  
           messages, then you're just going to end up looking stupid.  Some  
           people are gullible, but most are not insane enough to believe    
           your story.                                                       
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> Drapper, so MIT went over to your dorm at 12am in the         
               morning because they read RCN?  If you just got busted, what  
               are you doing here chatting with me?  Wouldn't they arrest    
               you or something?                                             
                                                                             
   <Drapper> Road Rebel, everyone will learn that the RCN editors are        
             narcs.                                                          
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> Hahhaha..                                                     
                                                                             
   <Drapper> That's all I have to say.                                       
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> Coolness!  I guess MIT respects the Warez-IQ section of RCN   
               so much that they consider it evidence to bust their          
               students who run pirate FTP sites.                            
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Drapper, I don't even care about getting on FTP sites.            
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> I'm glad MIT security is so fast at getting RCN, it must      
               have spread really fast then, hey?                            
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> I wonder how the MIT guys did at the quiz?                    
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> Yes, there must be a MIT "read warez magazine to get          
               information" security officer awake 24 hours a day on alert   
               for information they could use to bust their students.  Wow,  
               an RCN quiz is as good as evidence or a warrant.  Maybe I     
               should write an article saying OJ Simpson is guilty.  You     
               think they'll put him on trial again?                         
                                                                             
   <Hitex> They can't, double jeopardy prevents being tried for the crime    
           twice.                                                            
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> Hahaha...                                                     
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Not only that, there are 3 other sites on MIT, why would they     
           look after you first?  They would have to be quite witty at       
           that.

   <Chrome> Drapper, if your FTP site went down, it's because you were a

           busted when you just didn't want me on your FTP site.  Your FTP   
           site was quite up, but let's assume that you were telling the     
           truth, and that it WAS busted a few months prior, you've          
           obviously fucked up before.                                       
                                                                             
   <RATM> Guys, Drapper left.                                                
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Drapper, not to mention that if they did catch you again today,   
           that it would be a second offense, which means that you'll most   
           likely be expelled from MIT.                                      
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Oh :-)                                                            
                                                                             
   Session Close : Mon May 20 01:40:47 1996

       Let's assume for a minute that Drapper did get busted in such a       
   short period of time.  According to Hitex, this would have been his       
   SECOND offence, and as a result, he would unequivocably be expelled       
   from MIT.  Since Drapper is not a U.S. citizen and is only living in      
   the U.S. through a student visa, it would not be far fetched to assume    
   that he has most likely also been deported out of the U.S. and back to    
   Greece, where he went to high school before attending MIT as a freshman.  
                                                                             
       Since he won't be living in the U.S. anymore, if you do happen to     
   bump into him on IRC, he will no longer be running a FTP site, and        
   his email address would no longer look anything like this :               
                                                                             
   *** Drapper (uknown@MILLY.MIT.EDU) has left #USA                          
                                                                             
   bust instead, it should read something like this :                        
                                                                             
   *** Drapper (ex-MIT@greece.GR) has joined #Greece                         
                                                                             
       Let's all take a minute to give Drapper a farewell goodbye.  RCN      
   apologizes for causing the bust of his FTP site "The Temple".  Hope you   
   like it in Greece buddy!!!  See ya!!!

       This article is for all the newbie traders out there who would like   
   to jump to the next level in the scene but don't know what to do once     
   they get into a group.  Thise article was written to help beginners       
   learn some of the tricks that more experienced couriers know.  Most       
   traders learn this stuff from trial and error <mostly error> or with the  
   help of an older trader who acts as a tutor.  I have to take the time     
   now to thank Ratz Blood and Ratphour for teaching me the ins and outs of  
   the scene.  I would still be a #Fatefiles whore if it were not for them.  
   Let's begin :)                                                            
                                                                             
 Ķ
                                                                             
   BBS (Bulletin Board Service)                                              
                                                                             
       Way back when the scene was not on the Internet, couriers were the    
   people who couriered warez from a HQ BBS to the distro sites.  Some       
   phreaked the long distance, others carded the long distance.  I don't     
   encourage carding since it is not only dangerous, but it could easily     
   get a newbie busted.  Phreaking is no longer used.  The best strategy     
   for a courier who wishes to mark his or her place in the scene would be   
   to get a local distro site for some courier group to sponsor you into     
   the group.  Have the system operator bitch out a senior until he gives    
   you a chance.  Get access to the leech sites and start and downloading    
   and and uploading.  It's pretty simple.                                   
                                                                             
       BBS couriers on big BBSes where the competition is stiff usually get  
   a big hard drive quota on their shell account.  Don't PPP download, FTP   
   site operators hate it, plus there's always the problem of having the     
   FTP site going down for a few minutes right before your transfer is       
   finished.  A quota of about 80 - 130 megs will do you fine if you're      
   expecting some competition on the BBS.  When you download from your       
   shell (using the 'sz' command at your prompt... 'sz *.zip') go and have   
   a life.  Keep keep track of when the download should be done.  When you   
   upload to a popular BBS you can expect that some of the files you         
   leeched will already be on the BBS.  The key to getting on the top ten    
   is for you to upload a lot of crap.  Upload anything any everything you   
   can get your hands on.  Most system operators don't even bother to look   
   at whats being uploaded (I've uploaded a Crayola Coloring Book once,      
   blah, nuff said).  If your Internet provider is a bit expensive there is  
   a second trick to getting files.  Just get a plain account at your ISP    
   and PPP telnet to another server using a hacked account with a huge       
   quota (Netcom seems to be the most popular) and fill up that shell.       
   Then PPP leech it at your convience.  The transfer rates are a bit        
   slower, but it's a lot cheaper.  I don't encourage this, but it works.    
                                                                             
       BBS couriers usually have one advantage that FTP couriers don't       
   have.  They get a ratio.  After about 6 months of uploading, you should   
   have about 5 gigs of credit.  With that, you can just sit back and leech  
   for eternity.  BBS couriering is a low stress and high profile job        
   (depending on the BBS) that allows you to leech some fast stuff.  This    
   is a good place for many couriers with a fast 33.6 modem and 200+ megs    
   free on their HD to start at.  If you can't figure out how to find a      
   person to apply for a group, your best bet would be to talk to the        
   system operator of the BBS you're planning to courier for, or you could   
   sit on IRC and beg for invites into a channel.                            
                                                                             
 Ķ
                                                                             
   IRC (Internet Relay Chat)                                                 
                                                                             
       Go into #Exceed, #M8leech, #THCfiles, or any of a zillion offer       
   channel where you see those Lame-DCC and 31337-DCC guys.  Offering on     
   IRC takes no talent and I do not even consider it real couriering.        
   However, as IRC becomes more important to the scene and people flood      
   onto IRC.  It might well become the new battle ground for groups when t3  
   PPP connects become available in your own home 20 years from now.  A lot  
   of groups have their IRC couriers spreading the group name and their      
   presence among other lesser groups.  The better groups don't usually      
   bother with offering since they focus on boards and sites.  DCC offering  
   is a snap.  At your IRC prompt type '/xdcc offer' and hit enter.  Then    
   give the file names you wanna offer and then put in a description.  When  
   you want the channel to see your harvest of goodies type '/plist'.  I     
   recommend the Venom.IRC and Phoenix.IRC scripts for offering.  Some       
   people have been using the aDCC commands of LiCE script lately.  Use      
   whatever script looks nice to you.  Set your minimum speed that you want  
   to transfer at with '/xdcc minspeed'.  This way you can avoid some PPP    
   whore leeching from you for hours at slow rates.  A minimum speed of 2    
   to 3 kbs should be enough to keep the PPP and slow shell people out.      
                                                                             
       The only danger to IRC couriering is Chris Carter.  He is Narq        
   extraordinaire.  He likes to hang out in #Exceed and the #WarezX          
   channels.  Don't be surprised if you ISP admin tells you that the FBI is  
   after you or something.  Chris Carter makes himself out to be a agent of  
   some law organization, but in reality he is only a lamer who sits down    
   at his computer and masturbates off of shareware.  Tell your IRC          
   administrator that the man who mailed them is not an agent, he has no     
   jurisdiction, and that as a paying customer you would appreciate some     
   privacy.  Most administrators give you a slap on the wrist and don't      
   care.  One of my former administrators actually gave me a higher quota    
   cause he knew I was a trader (you'd be suprised how many ISPs have a      
   secret warez drive).  Chris Carter has no power and he cannot do          
   anything to you.  To avoid him you can use cracked shell accounts and     
   offer from those.  I've been Chris Cartered about 7 times in my career    
   and only one administrator freaked out.  If your administrator is         
   actually suprised that pirates are the ones with the big HD quota, it's   
   probabally time to find a new ISP.  IRC offering is an easy and simple    
   way for small groups without FTP sites to move tagged files to the        
   public.  It's not hard, and thus, has little glory in it.                 
                                                                             
       I would like to thank Method Man who taught me everything about       
   scripts I know.  He's such a freak that he even runs his own client.

   FTP (File Transfer Protocol)                                              
                                                                             
       If you enjoy instant satisfaction and like having something about 5   
   minutes before the rest of the scene, then FTP couriering is for you.     
   FTP couriering is either easy or hard depending on the sites you have     
   access to.  If you put RiSC against fATE it would be a slaughter because  
   RiSC has a better FTP team and has some of the best sites on the planet.  
   I would suggest that a FTP courier gain access to at least 2 to 3 super   
   fast FTP sites and maybe 2 to 4 slower FTP sites where you can dominate.  
   The trick is to get on as many FTP sites as you can at first and then     
   work on getting onto the quality FTP sites.  For maximum output, you      
   should have about 6 screens going at once and idling on the better        
   sites.  Type 'ls' every minute so you don't time out.  Some FTP Couriers  
   have scripts that do it automatically.  FTP couriering on fast sites can  
   be stressful after sitting at your terminal for about 5 hours and         
   looking at FTP sites to see if anything has come in the last few          
   minutes.  A FTP courier must be on IRC and aware of group releases by     
   paying attention to the sites all the time.  You have a window of about   
   5 minutes or less before it hits the super fast FTP sites.  It takes      
   about 20 minutes for it hits the slower sites.  After about 2 to 3 hours  
   it's releasedd all over IRC and is offered in #exceed.  Software pirates  
   have one of the greatist non-profit orginizations on the planet.  We can  
   release something and it hits the whole world within 3 hours.             
                                                                             
       FTP couriers usually use ncftp.  Type 'ncftp' at your unix prompt.    
   Type 'open -u -p xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxxx' the -u means that it is not an     
   anonymous login and the -p means that there is a port (if there isn't     
   one, don't type -p).                                                      
                                                                             
       Once you get onto a FTP site, you will see that the directories are   
   listed according to date.  If today was 11/06/95, I'd go to the 1106      
   dir.  Inside that directory I would see a ton of warez.  Each release is  
   in its own directory that either looks like 'lotus.notes.for.crap.blah'.  
   You will usually see the full title or at least enough so you could       
   figgure out what it is.  Some groups like fATE do lame junk like adding   
   their groups name to the dir name 'fate-lamers.on.parade.full.cd.rip'.    
   I don't encourage this since better FTP couriers frown on it as a form    
   of lame bragging.  Most don't care what groups you are in.  They are      
   only interested in the files.  To get the files onto your shell you type  
   'mget *.zip'.  To upload your new goodies type 'mput filename*' to put    
   multiple files from your shell to the FTP site.                           
                                                                             
       Remeber to use ncftp, the mput and mget commands will not work if     
   you type 'ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' in your shell.  When lamers type 'what'    
   in the shell they can see the site numbers when you 'ftp                  
   xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' and they might try to hack you.  When running ncftp,     
   all they will see is that little 'ncftp' flag.  FTP couriering is a       
   quick way to get some warez and glory for your group.  Board couriers     
   are a dime a dozen, a few good FTP couriers can make or break a group.    
                                                                             
       I would like to thank Ratz Blood and Weed who helped me when I was a

       There are a few telnet boards now adays, but this might change in     
   the future.  Only traders with experience and who are known usually get   
   access to the good telnet boards.  The basic tool for telnet couriering   
   is Ztel.  It allows you to upload using Zmodem.  To compile ztel.c on     
   linux and/or Sun/OS, type 'gcc -o ztel ztel.c'.  If you have any          
   problems just ask your ISP administrator (Ztel is is freeware).  Once     
   your Ztel is compiled type '/home/path/ztel xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxxx'.    To  
   upload, go through the normal upload procedure and wait for the Zmodem    
   string.  Type 'control-a' then let go, then tap 'u'.  It will ask for     
   file names or processes.  Type '*.zip' or whatever you want to upload.    
   Ztel will download automatically if you want to leech some SNES games     
   from Euro boards.                                                         
                                                                             
       Here's where it gets a bit tricky.  To use screen and ztel together   
   (screen allows you to multitask in your shell) you must type this when    
   you initialize your screen 'screen -e ^Tt'.                               
                                                                             
       I would like to thank Superior Force and Fortune for helping me       
   learn how to use Ztel and screen together.

       Lately, it seems that Napalm is dominating the games scene, with      
   their pure abundance of releases, not to mention the speed at which they  
   release them.  There is one problem though, and we see it almost every    
   time there is a Napalm release.  Napalm can't release a single thing      
   without some kind of problem with the game.                               
                                                                             
       We all know about Napalm's little problem, and we have all            
   complained about it at one time or another, but this article is not to    
   complain about Napalm, it's to congratulate them.                         
                                                                             
       Napalm has gotten so good at fixing problems, it seems that there is  
   a seperate 'fix' for every game they release.  Napalm is such an          
   EXTREMELY FAST releasing group, they almost always miss a problem with    
   the game the first time round.  I criticized them for this before, and    
   now they have perfected the art of releasing.  In other words, they       
   still release the game fast, and THEN they fix it, once everyone has it.  
   It's a great strategy, and because of it, you see Napalm outrunning       
   vetran groups such as Razor 1911 and Hybrid through sheer SPEED.          
                                                                             
       What's more, it seems that lately, Napalm has gotten good at          
   covering ass, big time.  You see, in the not so long ago release of       
   Lemmings Paintball, which was released by Hybrid, there was a CD check    
   that for some reason Hybrid failed to find.  The most surprising part     
   though, was that Napalm almost instantly released a fix for Hybrid's      
   mess, just like they do for their own releases.  If you ask me, Napalm    
   is trying to prove themselves, and they are doing a VERY good job, don't  
   you think?

       On Wednesday, May 22, channel #Warez666 was taken over.  It looked    
   like a pretty nice takeover from what I could see.  The takeover was      
   planned beforehand with extreme care.  The people who took over the       
   channel setup bots which changed handles every 5 seconds, in order to     
   avoid being flooded.  What made it even more strange was that these       
   people who took over the channel have never before been seen in the       
   warez scene.                                                              
                                                                             
       Beware, if you run a channel for a group or for private use, you      
   might be the next one to feel their takeover wrath.  The following is     
   a series of log files from the scene of the takeover :

       I spoke with Spawn666 who is a fellow THC (The Hardened Criminals)    
   member and a #Warez666 operator.  I was informed that the old #Warez666   
   operators were not planning to take back the channel.  They were just     
   idling, waiting for the new operators to make a mistake.  An hour after   
   the take over, the new operators started to ping timeout one after the    
   other.  The new operators kicked nearly everyone out of the channel and   
   set it to +i.  When the bot ping timed out, the old operators flooded     
   the others off and took the channel.  It was only a matter of hours       
   before the channel was taken back.                                        
                                                                             
       You might say, "Who cares?  It's like a fly on an elephants ass."     
   But the point is that no matter how elite you may be, everyone screws up  
   sometimes.  None of the #Warez666 ops wanted to talk after the fact.      
   The Trader, from fATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange), informed me later     
   that day that the takeover was due to Pickels having been spoofed by a    
   Macintosh user.  #Warez666 is a good channel once more, owned by IBM      
   elites.

   The following is an excerpt from the letter spread by the late Tai Pan    
   on May 19, 1996 :

       As of today my role as a courier for ROR (Release on Rampage), RTS    
   (Request to Send), and MTY (Mortality) has been cut short.  Since         
   February, I have been making long distance calls using extrapolated       
   credit card numbers (fake).  In May, AT&T finally caught on and           
   backbilled me for about $1000.  My parents were not too pleased with      
   this and since it was the second time I was caught, decided to revoke my  
   online access.  My data line, Internet provider, CompuServe account, and  
   shell account have all been cancelled and my modem will be taken out of   
   my computer in 3 hours.                                                   
                                                                             
       The moral of this story is DON'T CARD!  Since everyone knows that     
   option is ridiculous at least be careful.  But seriously, try and trade   
   (like Stingray6) from your office.  They pick up the bill and it's        
   LEGAL.  It has been fun everyone!  I'll be around on TAR, PC, and         
   666-KILL for those who want to leave me a message.  However, I won't      
   trade anymore unless I can find a way to do it outside my house.  I       
   shall return to the scene in about a year when I'm in college.  So until  
   then, keep on trading and keep the scene alive!

                                                   Tai Pan

   What can I say?  Tai Pan, the scene will miss you.. your tenacity is      
   admired by us all.. you just keep coming back bust after bust like a      
   pirate energizer bunny.  See you next year!

       DVD players will make their debuts as movie playback machines and     
   recordable DVD-ROM drives for PCs.  A technology as new as DVD is         
   typically too expensive to be of interest to console manufacturers such   
   as Nintendo and Sega, but all the major PC manufacturers are watching     
   DVD's approach with varying degrees of interest.                          
                                                                             
       Support for DVD from the dedicated game machine manufacturers,        
   however, is not entirely enthusiastic, and is sure to change the warez    
   scene in the future.  Shortly after the DVD movie player hits the         
   market, the first DVD-ROM drives will ship for the PC.  Initially, these  
   drives are expected to retail for somewhere between $400 and $600.  With  
   a storage capacity of 4.7 gigabytes (versus CD-ROMs which hold 0.65       
   gigabytes) and vastly increased data transfer rates, the DVD-ROM will     
   offer developers the chance to produce titles with broadcast-quality      
   video and surround-sound audio.  In addition to the more immersive sound  
   and video, the increased storage capacity will enable the developers to   
   place more levels and/or more complex databases in their titles.  As      
   titles released onto the market use the DVD as a standard format, we      
   will be sure to see meggage of the releases by warez groups increase in   
   size.  Instead of 30 disk releases, we might be in wait for 300 disk      
   releases.  However, we need not fear, as technology for storage           
   capacities increase, so will the technology for fiber optic connections,  
   thus increasing transfer speeds.                                          
                                                                             
       Like CD-ROM and CD-dependent game machines, there will be no real     
   difference in the physical make-up between the DVD-ROM drives available   
   for the PCs, and DVD-ROM drives will eventually become part of dedicated  
   game machines.  When will DVD game machines appear?  In general, it       
   seems that the gaming manufacturers are content to wait on the sidelines  
   for now and to let the folks on the PC side struggle with early           
   compatibility and pricing issues.  As DVD-ROM drives become available to  
   a larger audience, we are sure to see DVD-ROM pirate libraries that       
   would be able to hold close to a 500 to 800 games.                        
                                                                             
       Last, but not least, is the possibility of a DVD audio disc.  The     
   majority of current audio CDs, like many games on CD, do not use the      
   entire space on their current media, and so the demand for DVD audio      
   discs is almost nonexistent.  The opportunity exists, however, to do      
   more with audio DVD, especially if it is compatible with the recordable   
   DVD-ROM drive.  If those capabilities come to fruition, people will be    
   able to record hours of digital audio onto a disc at their discretion.    
   In that sense, the DVD audio and DVD-ROM would elevate the disc medium    
   to a place that the CD never evolved to en masse : serving as mass        
   storage medium.                                                           
                                                                             
       So far, the only DVD spec that has been released is one general and   
   vague outline for both the DVD movie player and DVD-ROM drive.  Although  
   it is somewhat vague, the spec does revel the basic parameters and        
   technologies of DVD.  It's 4.7 gigabytes storage capacity is certainly a  
   considerable improvement over the 0.65 of CD-ROMS, as is its 4.69         
   megabits-per-second average transfer rate (a single speed CD-ROM player   
   reads datat at a rate of just 0.15 megabits-per-second).  This            
   improvement in performance, however, will require additional processing   
   muscle in the host machine to handle all the data.  Consumer DVD movie    
   players will need to include MPEG2 and AC3 audio decoding solutions, and  
   it is anticipated that nothing short of a Pentium 166 MHz will make full  
   use of a DVD-ROM player for a PC.                                         
                                                                             
       Perhaps DVD's main advantage will be in the fact that the option      
   exists to make the discs recordable.  Some companies have said that they  
   are working to make their first DVD-ROM drives off the production line    
   recordable.  And erasable DVD-ROMs, if they aren't shipped initially,     
   are expected to ship on an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) basis     
   soon after.  Another issue to be ironed out is whether or not the discs   
   will be able to store data on just one side or both sides of the disc.    
   In the original specs, the discs were planned to be two sided.  However,  
   the two-sided configuration was being considered only as "possible".      
                                                                             
       Of course, the whole issue of price is perhaps the major hurdle       
   still to be negotiated by those wishing to rush DVD to the market.  And   
   once it does hit the market, we can see that BBSes with the DVD           
   technology will be able to offer a far greater library of downloads than  
   the BBSes which do not yet have DVD.  Whatever the price, DVD is          
   guaranteed to change the face of the warez scene.  Whatever the specs of  
   the DVD, no one really knows whether it will be the warez scene killer,   
   or a new device that will revolutionize the warez scene.

       For many years, PC users have strived to run software on their        
   computer that wasn't ever meant to be run; software from other            
   platforms.  You may have seen several of these "emulators", in which you  
   can play your favorite Super NES game in a little window on your          
   desktop.  Because you are running something foreign on your computer,     
   many things must be given up, such as sound effects, music, and your      
   favorite joypad.  Why do we want to play them then?  Maybe we just miss   
   a favorite game we had, or maybe we just want to prove that it can be     
   done, but it seems kind of stupid when you think about it, doesn't it?    
                                                                             
       Even though the emulators that run console warez is fairly new, the   
   history of console warez is a long one.  You see, a long time ago, if     
   you wanted to run a copied Super NES, or Gameboy game, you needed an      
   actual console to run them (hence the name), and a "cartridge drive"      
   that accepted Super NES or Gameboy cartridges.  At one point in time,     
   this was such a popular thing, there were actually groups devoted to      
   bringing in console warez, just as there are groups that bring in new PC  
   software everyday.                                                        
                                                                             
       Even still, you have to wonder why they did all this.  After all, we  
   all have a PC, and there are great games released everyday that make      
   some Super NES games blow mega farts.  Now, with emulators that actually  
   work, the fad to play them is even greater, and you can pick up a 'game   
   pack' just about every month.                                             
                                                                             
       For those of you who love to piss with emulators, here is some        
   information to get you going.  The only working Super NES emulator for    
   PC is for Windows 95, and it was originally released in Japanese or some  
   other funky language, but there are numerous versions that have been      
   translated so that they are understandable.  The version that works       
   supports only the .SFC extension (Super FamiCom).  Beware that there are  
   very many other types of Super NES image files (for the console drives),  
   and that if you come across one (SMC, SNS, etc.) you should find          
   yourself a program called CTOOL that will convert the file to the one     
   you need.  If you ever encounter a Super NES game broken down like this   
   'kinstnct.1, kinstnct.2, etc.', CTOOL will also combine these files so    
   that they will become one 'kinstnct.sfc'.                                 
                                                                             
       There is a Gameboy emulator for both Windows 95 and DOS, both of      
   which work quite well (much more stable then the Super NES emulator),     
   and they both support the only extension I know of (.GB).  So you should  
   have no problem playing Wario Land in black and white.. or should you?    
   You still won't get any sound, and chances are, your game will freeze in  
   the middle, right when you are just getting into it.  It doesn't seem     
   worth it, but it doesn't stop you from trying.                            
                                                                             
       Let's all play Lameboy games on a $3000 computer!  Hooray!

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

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

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

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

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

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

   [ 3] Average,

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

   will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity.  Let's      
   review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases.  The following    
   is the scoring basis I'll be using :                                      
                                                                             
   Points :                                                                  
   --------                                                                  
                                                                             
   [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72      
        hours.  The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack  
        or fix, even beyond the 3 day period.                                
                                                                             
   [ 1] The util was a dupe or freeware,

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

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

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

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

       The BBS scene pimped on the Internet scene.  It was so much more      
   interesting to be in!  I mean getting stuff around in 0-2 day was HARD!   
   It took skilled couriers.  I think the Internet ruined everything.

   Dear Koon Dog,                                                            
                                                                             
       I think you're very right, the BBS scene involved much more skill.    
   People would spend countless hours logging onto boards around the world   
   to get new releases so they could put everything around the world and     
   get all the releases out.  But why do you think the Internet ruined       
   EVERYTHING?  I think it raised the competition that much higher.  Now     
   people really have to try hard to get places before others do.  When the  
   Internet wasn't around, the competition was not to get stuff around       
   faster than anybody else, but to get stuff around at all.  Now, we have   
   so many great couriers and they all try to push the same stuff to the     
   same place, and people lose by mere seconds.  I think that makes things   
   that much harder.  But of course, "it is not who does it first, it's who  
   does it right," and it could quite easily be said that much of today's    
   scene is filled with bad releases that don't work.

   Dear Road Rebel,                                                          
                                                                             
           The Internet has fixed some things and fucked up other things.    
   Couriers are having a ball now trying to do things before others.         
   However, like you say, there are some new problems.  Many boards are      
   getting partial releases and that doesn't help anybody.  It makes the     
   courier look bad and then makes the group look stupid.  Ultimately, it    
   lowers the quality of the board.

   Dear Reader,                                                              
                                                                             
       I think you bring out an interesting point.  The scene is currently   
   in a transition regarding the Internet and the BBS scene.  The Internet,  
   I think, will end up prevailing, but while we're making this transition   
   from BBS to Internet, the two are clashing.  We're going from one         
   resource that can push a meg per second, to a resource that pushes no     
   more than 3k per second.  That's a huge bottleneck, and one that will be  
   resolved as soon as we start getting BBSs running on private T1's and     
   Cable modems.  Until then, the bottleneck will still slow us down.  As    
   soon as the transition is complete, the scene will breathe a fresher      
   air.

   Topic For Next Week : Week Old Group                                      
                                                                             
           As always, we see about three new groups a week, and about three  
   more die every week.  However, none of these groups grow beyond 2 or 3    
   releases.  Every once in a while, if we're lucky, the group ends up       
   releasing on a regular basis.  Sounds like a winner, right?  Wrong.       
   Most often, the group's releases don't work, are uncracked, or even       
   incomplete.  One would think, in theory, that new groups can't hurt       
   anything.  Sure, there could be too many of them, and they take up time,  
   but if they release, they're helping the scene.  However, this is hardly  
   the case.                                                                 
                                                                             
       The situation has become so bad that now, when one finds a release    
   that he wants, he must check twice to see what group released it.         
   Often, if the group is not a megafigure such as DOD or PWA, Razor or      
   Dynamix, he won't even download it, for fear of wasting an hour of his    
   time just to find that what he downloaded doesn't even work.  So, what's  
   the alternative for the hopefuls to get big in the scene?  What do you    
   think these small groups are doing to the scene as a whole?  Do you       
   think they benefit it, or inhibit its success?  Do you think their        
   releases, even though small in number, are worth downloading?  Do you     
   trust them?  Write back and tell us what you think!

         to exhaust you.  Go get some rest.                                  
                                                                             
   <Virgo> You might be excited about going out on a date with someone you   
           recently met.  Don't be, this person is not interested in         
           talking to you.                                                   
                                                                             
   <Libra> You could be hoping to get a raise in position within a warez     
           group.  When you don't get good news, it may be time to join      
           another group.                                                    
                                                                             
   <Scorpio> Your mind is imagining a wonder escape to a faraway place.      
             Prolonged periods of time on channel #Gaysex could be a         
             valuable learning experience and a fun-filled adventure.        
                                                                             
   <Sagittarius> You can enjoy going to a group channel that is usually +i.  
                 Have fun creating a romantic atmosphere in that channel,    
                 and you might pass along some of your good feeling energy.  
                                                                             
   <Capricorn> Lucky news can come at a time when you need it most.  Don't   
               act undeserving, or ask too many questions why god things     
               should be happening to you.  Enjoy it!                        
                                                                             
   <Aquarius> Don't be defensive if you make a mistake on IRC.  Nobody       
              cares.  Stay focused on getting it done right.  Nobody is      
              perfect, not even guys from Napalm.  Well, Napalm is a little  
              more less perfect than most, but if Napalm can learn, so can   
              you!                                                           
                                                                             
   <Pisces> Getting into better physical shape is a possible desire.         
            Finding discipline is the challenge.  Get off your computer and  
            go excercise (masturbation is not considered exercise), go jog   
            a mile!

   Dear John Doe:                                                            
                                                                             
       I have found a user in your Internet domain who plays a large role    
   in the distribution of copyrighted software on the Internet.  This user   
   uses the nickname "Ordinance," and uses the account "x@x.x.x.".  He/she   
   is a member of an underground group called "RTS."  This group is          
   dedicated to the transfer of illegal commercial software to a large       
   audience of users on the Internet.  They use the most efficient and       
   fastest methods possible.                                                 
                                                                             
       The user was seen on IRC at exactly: Sun Apr 28 02:04:41 1996 EDT.    
                                                                             
       In an effort to stop software piracy on the Internet, I have been     
   monitoring various groups of users on the Internet Relay Chat network.    
   This medium of communication has become very popular with "warez"         
   pirates who exchange commercial software illegally.  On the IRC network,  
   groups of people come together to use sophisticated methods to            
   distribute commercial software to literally thousands of users.  With     
   such large scale distribution methods, the software industry is losing    
   millions of dollars.                                                      
                                                                             
       I have no direct evidence to show you that this user is               
   participating in illegal activities.  But I can direct you to where       
   evidence can be found.  If you are permitted to do so, I suggest that     
   you take a brief scan of the user's home-directory and check for any      
   suspicious files.  If you cannot do this, I recommend that you keep a     
   close eye on this user and watch for any unusual activities.  Please      
   take whatever action is appropriate in dealing with these matters as      
   stated in your organization's Internet Policy Agreement or Network        
   Etiquette Policy.                                                         
                                                                             
       Thank you for taking the time to read through this message.  And      
   thank you for any assistance you can give to help resolve this matter.    
   Your time and help is greatly appreciated and I give you my full          
   gratitude.

       I believe this user, Chris Carter, is violating numerous laws, to     
   include guidelines set forth by the Electronic Frontier Foundation        
   (EFF).  His means of monitoring are clearly illegal in the United         
   States.  He is known to use hacked accounts, send false mail, hide his    
   address, monitor channels in "IRC" through stealth modes - his presence   
   not visible to users of the channels.  He is also making great            
   accusations with no evidence causing undue harassment and libel.  Undue   
   conflict between user and administrator and possibly resulting in the     
   loss of accounts, if not involvement by state/local/federal authorities.  
   Chris Carter's tactics seem to be strategic and premeditative in nature,  
   a direct attack on the reputation of whomever he chooses to harass.       
                                                                             
       It is encouraged that the unethical and unlawful behavior of Chris    
   Carter be stopped, to protect privacy, freedom of speech, reputations of  
   the innocent and prevent him from abusing any other computer systems      
   through subversive and/or illegal "hacking" methods.                      
                                                                             
       Chris Carter certainly gets around.  Upon mention of his name, many   
   people have spoken out in outrage at his actions and methods. This        
   e-mail is a collective result of concerned citizens in both the United    
   States and abroad.  To my knowledge, there are seven other instances of   
   such accusations sent via e-mail with no support.                         
                                                                             
       Upon contact, a system administrator from the first provider has      
   stated that they have checked the files of the user in question,          
   permissible by a written legal form signed by the account purchaser, and  
   have not found a single thing of illegal nature.  Why is this violation   
   of privacy necessary due to the likes of Mr. Carter, who does not seem    
   to respect the rights of innocent people?  One must wonder whether        
   Carter's basis for these accusing messages has anything to do with the    
   reason of "software piracy" as Carter states.  If so, his observations    
   are error-prone.                                                          
                                                                             
       The second provider involved has not commented.                       
                                                                             
       Thank you for your time and, hopefully, support.  Chris Carter is a   
   criminal by any standards and must be dealt with by legal means before    
   spreading more harm among the Internet community.

   <RblChickn> Dammit Hitex, how do you do this?  You got to teach me some   
               of your tricks man.  How do you get all these girls to go     
               out with you?  I'm fairly desperate these days, I only have   
               2 weeks left of school now and I haven't even scored yet.     
               You're only a junior and you've already scored with TONS...   
                                                                             
   <Hitex> I scored big time last night, it was with a SENIOR..              
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> WOW!!!  No way, dam you're good bro!!!  What was she like?    
                                                                             
   <Hitex> I don't think you'll like her though Rebel Chicken, remember,     
           everyone has different tastes.                                    
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> Well, I still haven't had too much to taste, I'd do anything  
               to taste some right about now.  Hey, how far did you go with  
               this senior chick?

   <RblChickn> Spare me no details!                                          
                                                                             
   <Hitex> I don't think it would be wise, I'd rather not dwell in the       
           details of my private life.  Suffice to say, I got a handful,     
           and it lasted til dawn.

               her anywhere?  Can you send me over a picture of her, or      
               maybe I could just go over to your school next week,          
               whichever is easier for you.                                  
                                                                             
   <Hitex> I think sending you a picture of the girl will be easier.  I'm    
           not sure if I could get a guest pass in such a short notice, but  
           I'll try.  It'll be hard getting you a guest pass though since    
           my Principal rarely gives out guest passes.  I'll try.  Anyways,  
           I always keep pictures of girls I've gone all the way with.  I    
           can send you the GIF of this senior chick, it's from the year     
           book from last year when she was a junior.  I'll also send you    
           the chick I went all the way with last year...                    
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> You never told me you went all the way more than once!  Dam   
               Hitex!  What have you been hiding from me.. you've probably   
               buffed more than 2 and you're just trying not to brag.  You   
               think it'll make me feel bad so you're trying not to hurt my  
               feelings.. tell me more, send me the GIFs!!!                  
                                                                             
   <Hitex> Okay...

     Subject : M'name is Chicken, Rebel Chicken.  People call me...

       The other day, I was sitting in the can of a public restroom, and     
   among the scribbles on the wall, I noticed something that meant           
   something to me.  Somebody had etched the words "PiL 96 !!" on the wall   
   with a black marker while taking a shit.  I sat there and thought, and    
   thought.. then I wondered if these were actually the scribbles of a       
   member of Pirates in Legion, the present but forgotten utils group.  Or   
   I suppose it could have been a VERY happy fan, but who knows.  All that   
   thinking encouraged me to stay on the can and think some more.            
                                                                             
       All this thinking led me to think about the importance of group       
   names.  When thoughts come about a group like fATE, do you think of the   
   meaning behind it?  Somebody put a lot of thought into that name (maybe   
   they were on the can like me), and it brings importance to the group.     
   The word fATE alone can make you think about alot of things, but the      
   underlying meaning is still "Fast Action Trade Exchange".                 
                                                                             
       Other names that we know of, such as PWA, or even COPS, makes one     
   laugh when we think of the meaning.  I know I'm not the only one who      
   thinks Pirates with Attitudes is just a little cheezzzy, let alone        
   Couriers of Pirated Software.  But we look and we laugh, after all, we    
   can't let the scene get too serious now, can we?                          
                                                                             
       A few more minutes of shitting led me to think about the importance   
   of handles.  There are some funny names of groups out there, and I        
   realzied that could extend outside the spectrum of mere group names.      
   Many handles of the people in the scene are equally ridiculous.           
                                                                             
       For example, if you can recall the handle of Fan Fan La Tulipe, the   
   late President of TDU-JAM!, or our very own RCN editor, Rebel Chicken.    
   Both these names are extremely ridiculous, but none the less, it's not    
   the name that really matters, it's what's backed by it.  You could call   
   yourself ABC or 123 if you really wanted to, and it wouldn't make a       
   difference, it's not your handle that's important, the important matter   
   is the substance that backs it up.  And the same can be said for groups,  
   you could start a group called RWN, Raisins with Nuts, but if that group  
   releases consistent quality or couriers in a fashion revolutionizing to   
   the scene, then that group will receive the recognition and respect it    
   deserves regardless of its cheezzzy name.

       The bell rings.  I am faster than the bell, I had packed my bag 20    
   seconds prior.  As I was walking toward my next class, I couldn't help    
   but notice that to my left was Emily, I think of her as this really       
   stupid blonde girl, and Hitex thinks of her as "pimple face".             
                                                                             
       Oh God, please tell me Emily doesn't see me, I don't feel like        
   talking to anyone right now, especially not her.  May be I can just       
   mingle to the right of the hallway and hide behind some freshman.  The    
   day is not going well.  The stupid blonde girl greets me and starts       
   small talk.  I am extremely agitated and I wish that she'd just leave me  
   alone.  I can see that she starts her conversations the same way every    
   single time, no matter who she's talking to.  In fact, everyone from my   
   high school talks the same.  Everyone says the same thing, the same way,  
   and by far, I am as guilty of that as anyone else.  I can read their      
   minds and I perceive that what they say and what they feel are as         
   different as night and day.  I show interest in what she says.  I smile.  
   I nod my head.  I smile again, and I wish to myself that she would shut   
   up.                                                                       
                                                                             
       Now I'm really in trouble,  our conversation has superseded the       
   usual "How are you doing" and the "I'm doing great" bullshit, and she's   
   going out of her routine small talk.  She asks me a question.  Even       
   though I have no idea what her question is, I try my best to reply.  I    
   give her the no fuss answer, "Wow, that's cool."                          
                                                                             
       I see her lips move up and down again, but I have no idea what the    
   hell she's saying.  She pauses and smiles.  I see her smile and so I      
   smile back, and I assume that it is time for me to reply, so I say to     
   her, "Wow, that is REALLY REALLY cool."                                   
                                                                             
       Suddenly, I grow very confused.  I start asking myself questions I    
   have never even thought of before.  I know that these questions I am      
   asking myself have always been part of me, but it is only now that I am   
   allowing them to surface.  I ponder.                                      
                                                                             
       Why can't she just be herself?  I know she is not very fond of me.    
   Why is she acting like she's my friend.  I don't even know her that       
   well; the only reason link I have to her is that I sit next to her in my  
   English IV class, I hardly doubt that's a basis for friendship.  Is she   
   acting nice because it's othe cool thing to do?"  And, why can't she      
   stop talking, she is becoming very annoying.  She asks me another         
   question, this time, I don't know what to do.  To think that I used to    
   want to go out with her, yuck.. what the hell was I thinking?             
                                                                             
       A part of me speaks, the part of me that stems from archaic roots     
   takes over.  I will have to sacrifice dearly, but today, I will let my    
   dark side take over.  In a matter of 20 seconds, I will destroy the       
   "nice guy" image I had worked so hard building up these last 4 years.  I  
   was good at deceiving people, I got them all to think that I was a "nice  
   guy".  Not this time though, I don't really care anymore.  I choose to    
   come out of the closet, so to speak, I'm going to just be myself.  I say  
   to her in my own tone, without smiling, "What the fuck is wrong with      
   you?  Can't you tell that I have absolutely no fucking interest in what   
   you're saying to me?"  I said it really loud, and nearly everyone in the  
   hallway stops to look at me.  I feel very embarrassed, but I don't care,  
   I am having fun.                                                          
                                                                             
       Unfortunately, one of the people who hears me yell at the stupid      
   blonde girl, was the Principal.  The Principal rushes to me and puts his  
   hand on my back.  He asks me why I was acting so agitated, and asks me    
   whether or not I needed to go to the nurse's office.  The Principal must  
   think I'm mentally unstable.  Well, I'm NOT crazy, I'm just elite.  I     
   tell him that I am not crazy, and that I was merely acting natural, I     
   couldn't take it anymore.  The bitch was too annoying, I only did that    
   which was necessary to prevent mental collapse.  I haven't been myself    
   for nearly 4 years now.  I don't want to fall into that trap again, like  
   before, I didn't want to end my conversation without showing her who I    
   really was.  I don't regret any of what I did.                            
                                                                             
       The Principal slaps on my back a pink sheet.  On that pink sheet, I   
   read, "Two hours detention."  I shrug and I start walking back toward my  
   next class, I feel free, free again, free at last, and once again, I      
   here a voice saying, "I don't regret any of what I did."
