       Welcome to Reality Check Network, your #1 Warez E-mag!  And so we'd   
   like to stay!  To meet further reader demand, the staff has decided that  
   RCN will now be released on a biweekly schedule.  There won't be any      
   less material found in each issue, the material will just be of even      
   higher quality!  RCN will be released every other Sunday.  We believe     
   that by giving ourselves more time between the release of each issue, we  
   will be able to release a better RCN, and at the same time, the extra     
   time will help create a more positive and less hectic work environment    
   for the RCN Staff.                                                        
                                                                             
       Again, you can always find Reality Check Network available on the     
   WWW at HTTP://WWW.RCN.ORG/INDEX.HTML, as well as find some of our         
   previous competition (though, unfortunately, none exists at the moment)   
   and perhaps compare and contrast.  And as a final note, a little word     
   about etiquette, purposefully placed at the END of the introduction.  I   
   don't mind if you don't want to read an entire article or interview, and  
   decide you've had enough in the middle, but if you're going to contact    
   us with a complaint, make sure you HAVE read the entire text before       
   doing so.  It doesn't look too impressive when you complain about         
   something and our response to your complaint was in the body of the text  
   all the while, but you were too lazy to find it.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       It happened on the 17th of July when I was in a bad mood and took     
   over channel #CD because I was auto-opped there.  So I massdeoped and     
   kick those lamerz out.  I ignored all CTCP and then MSG's also.  In       
   about 30 minutes I get killed by MikeySoft.

       With that kill, they get the channel back.  By the way, what rights   
   has an IRCop to kill you for takeovers?!  I mean, there isn't such thing  
   as OWNING CHANNELS!  They shouldn't have opped me in the first place.  I  
   come back all pissed (I was on mo.net all the time) and messaged          
   Incarnate bitching at him telling him that he is a lamer and that he      
   needs a kill to take my ass down.                                         
                                                                             
       Then he said he used what he could so I told him that next time I     
   will flood Mikeysoft off before taking over.  This cost me another        
   fucking kill!!!

       This was fucking lame.  I never flooded him.  I knew that Incarnate   
   was pasting this shit in channel #NTA-Nokturnal.  Then, I messaged        
   Mikeysoft 3 times asking if he feels a man killing someone.  This cost    
   me another fucking kill by already known to you IRCop, Prae.

       Now this just shows how IRCops are fucking abusing their kill         
   command.  And I am fucking asking you people, how are you going to face   
   that when it happens to you?  What can we do except hitting them with 80  
   bots?  That's what we do, and if I get killed I don't really care but it  
   should be REASONABLE, not some fucking excitement for you (IRCops).  If   
   I were an IRCop, I'd kill only if I see a fucking flooder or something,   
   but as I didn't flood you nor others, what the fuck do you want from      
   me?!!?!?  By the way, here's a big FUCK YOU to Incarnate the gay

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I am writing to you in response to issue 22's interview with TSR      
   (The Speed Racer), head of Razor 1911.  In this interview, the            
   interviewer, Rebel Chicken, claimed that he strictly stayed away from     
   supplying warez because he felt he might become biased when he            
   interviewed people.  However, in the same article, the interview          
   continuously shows bias against an ex-head of Razor, namely, TRC (The     
   Renegade Chemist).                                                        
                                                                             
       I, being from the same area code from TRC, do know that some times    
   he can be a bit "rude" towards people he doesn't like or that do not      
   share his exact opinion on the scene.  I have experienced this            
   "rudeness" first hand.  However, I do not feel that is any excuse to be   
   biased.  I have seen you "twisting" TRC's words in such a way that would  
   make him look bad.  One example is when you made an interview with him,   
   and he, as a joke said "I am a GOD!"  You then immediately took his       
   words, which had nothing to do with the interview, and put them as the    
   title of the interview to make TRC "look bad."                            
                                                                             
       I like RCN very much, and I think it's great that you people inform   
   the warez scene, but what you write many times is only a half truth.  I   
   have seen other examples of this kind of biasness and have chosen this    
   one because I know TRC, and thought that you guys went too far.  I hope   
   you stop being being biased and make up with TRC because he is one of     
   the best game suppliers and is a very respected man in the warez          
   community.  I appreciate that you people took your time to read my        
   letter and hope something is done about this problem.                     
                                                                             
                                                Signed,

   Dear Cool Guy,                                                            
                                                                             
       First off, I said that I did not wish to supply not because I did     
   not want to be biased toward certain groups, but because I was biased     
   against making myself supply/crack/package a game.  You should read more  
   carefully before you start talking shit.                                  
                                                                             
       On the note of TRC's saying "I am a GOD!"  His exact words were,      
   "But I am a GOD!"  Those words were used not in a joking manner, but in   
   a serious manner as can be seen when you read the full log which was      
   published in RCN.  In other words, he wasn't joking, and he claimed that  
   he was a GOD in the scene in defense of his own status.  Also, when you   
   claim that I twisted his words to make him look bad?  That I did not do,  
   however, you are trying to twist his words and take his words out of      
   context to make him look better than he actually is.                      
                                                                             
       I agree with you on the note that TRC is one of the best game         
   suppliers, but do I really give a fuck?  He could be Bill Fucking         
   Clinton for all I care, and if he does something stupid, by golly, I'll   
   be the first to cover it, and that is in no way being biased.

       Hi, I'm Karzy.  I'm not really new to the warez scene but until now,  
   all I pretty much did was sit in channel #Oldwarez and leech under        
   various nicknames.  But now I have necided to speak my mind.  Ops are     
   too damn touchy on certain channels, not primarily in channel #Oldwarez   
   but on many other channels too.  And it's annoying.  I mean, it seems     
   like you can't even joke around with someone anymore without them         
   getting all defensive and throwing it back in your face like you were     
   sitting there kicking them in the head.  I don't know how many times I    
   will have cracked a joke and the next thing I see is :                    
                                                                             
       You have been kicked off channel #(insert here) by (insert here)      
       (Banned: Shut the fuck up lamer)                                      
                                                                             
       And frankly, I am getting sick of it.  I mean, you would think        
   people would have a sense of humor knowing they are getting thousands of  
   dollars in software for free, but NOOOO!  They have to get all up on      
   their high horse because they are ops and they are so quick to whip out   
   the /bk at the first time that their ego may be in jeopardy.              
                                                                             
       It's even gotten to the point now that you can be kick/banned off a   
   channel for offering the wrong stuff.  If you don't offer 0-day stuff in  
   some of the #WarezX channels they will /bk you.  Bankicks are easy to     
   get around but they never make anyone feel welcome.  I think that we all  
   need to take this a lot more lightly.  I am guilty too, I recognize that  
   sometimes people get pissed off and start screaming over little shit.     
                                                                             
       I think that the solution to this is having fewer ops.  Like last     
   night on channel #Oldwarez, some guy came into the channel, got ops,      
   then mass deoped and got kicked by himself for mass-deoping.  That was    
   fun, you could joke around without worrying about a perma-ban.            
                                                                             
       But some people took the opportunity to be stupid and cntrl^g'd a     
   million times and flooded just to be lame because they wouldn't get

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       As a former member of FBI, I would like to respond not only to the    
   text file sent out by JDa, but also your dislike of Reflux and FBI.       
                                                                             
       For a short period during '95, I was an in-house courier for FBI.  I  
   would distribute stuff, mostly though site couriering, when one day I     
   noticed them releasing Bermuda Syndrome.  I had heard it was a really     
   good game, even though it was big, so I tried it, and I definitely don't  
   remember it being in Russian as Reflux claims.  FBI was a group           
   dedicated to putting out good releases, not untranslated or non-working   
   ones.  That was a great program, and I got much joy from letting others   
   try it out, to see if they want to buy it, since I still feel that's the  
   only right thing to do.  Remember, if everyone got the stuff for free,    
   there wouldn't be any more of it!                                         
                                                                             
       Even though I had long since left the group, I was appauled to find   
   out that Reflux duped the release, but to make it worse, they were        
   releasing it over half a year later!  Talk about sloppy.                  
                                                                             
       In rebuttal to Reflux's claim that it was more than 50 disks so it    
   shouldn't count as a real release, your release is too!  Bermuda          
   Syndrome isn't much fun to play without all the addons, and if you add    
   those onto the 50 disk total of Bermuda Syndrome, it's way over 60        
   disks.                                                                    
                                                                             
       Reflux claims that it's a new version.  If so, WHY NOT RELEASE A      
   FUCKIN PATCH??  Because they're sloppy and led by that pussy Tklp (which  
   stands for Tiny-Kocked-Little-Prick).                                     
                                                                             
       I used to have respect for Tklp and his group, despite their major    
   screw up with Quake, but after their duping and then DENYING the          
   previous release's credibility, I have lost all faith in them.  I now     
   agree with all of Rebel Chicken's criticism of ROR and Reflux, it is all  
   viable.  This last mistake should prove it.                               
                                                                             
       As for most people's treatment of FBI, I may no longer be a member,   
   but I still have respect for them.  They weren't a tiny little group      
   that barely got to the US, they were great.  I have now moved on to       
   bigger and better things, as I am now a happy member of PTA, and active   
   as ever.  But I have not forgotten my roots as so many people have.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       First off I would like to congradulate you on your fine Diskmag.  I   
   get the latest issue off Illegal Injections BBS here in 613 practically   
   the minute it is out.  I am not sure how the sysop does it, whether it    
   is upload by an RCN official or he gets it off IRC?                       
                                                                             
       Anyway what I am here to say regards women being Piraters.  It is a   
   well known that if a girl has a girlish NICK then she will be flamed for  
   trying to do a man's job, that is shit.  It doesn't take much effort or   
   so called "man power," to upload and download.  I have been doing this    
   since I first got my HAYES 2400 smartmodem.  Now I have an ISDN line and  
   a 33.6 USR Courier modem for using BBSs with.  What I want to tell you    
   and everyone reading this is that it is not a male only dominated scene.  
   If you look around you will see that there are many females running it    
   as well.  For instance there is Acoustic Blast who is the SysOp of        
   Damned Inferno, a good warez board.  There are many more that you will    
   find out about if they ever feel that they can come out of hiding under   
   the big M instead of being proud under the bigger F!                      
                                                                             
       Most female piraters have to pretend to be male just to get into the  
   scene.  Just like when I started, I didn't know this and I got stuck on   
   every lamer list there is, and all just because I was a girl.  Now I use  
   a male sounding alias and I do the pretending, so far no one has known    
   and I am doing better then ever.                                          
                                                                             
       Anyway, that is about all I have to say other than that the guys      
   that think they run the scene, they should think twice!!

   Dear Anonymous,                                                           
                                                                             
       You're going to be shocked when you read this reply.  Don't take it   
   personally, it is not directed at you.  It's just a small bit about       
   women that complain about their position in society and female rights.    
   Rebel Chicken and I thought of this when we were at Safeway one day.      
   I've been wanting to publish it for a while now, and it has absolutely    
   nothing to do with warez, but it's something I've got to say and get      
   e-mail back about, so people, don't hold back, I want to start a riot     
   here, write me and tell me what you think of my little schpiel here.      
                                                                             
       Once upon a time Rebel Chicken and I walked into a Safeway (it's a    
   supermarket in the USA) to get something to eat while on an RCN break.    
   We walked past the magazines, they were on the way to the cashier, when   
   Rebel Chicken stopped and exclaimed "HUBBA HUBBA!!!"  I turned around     
   and saw him checking out this babe on the front of some magazine.         
   "Ehhhhhhh ---- heeeeeeeeeellllo!!"  I shouted back.  So we were checking  
   out the women on the front of magazines and then Rebel Chicken noticed    
   something (just when you thought he was actually looking at the women).   
   He asked me "Did you notice how every magazine cover with a woman         
   pictured on it has something about sex?"  Surely enough, he was right.    
   We looked through about 25 magazines, and found only two that didn't.     
   One issue of "Seventeen" and the other I don't remember.  Sorry guys, we  
   didn't look at computer magazines.                                        
                                                                             
       So this is the conclusion I draw from all this.  Women have no right  
   in hell to complain about being treated like sex toys.  I'll tell you     
   right now, I definitely would NOT have minded treating those women as     
   sex toys heheheh but there's no way they can try to tell me that they're  
   just showing off beauty with no sexual connotation implied.  Before       
   women can complain about being treated like objects and having a lower    
   place in society, they need to think twice about their actions.  I don't  
   mind the fact that beautiful women pose for magazines, but when every     
   magazine with them says something like "20 tips to make your sex life     
   better," "A quiz to see if you really know your way around your bed,"     
   "5 women reveal the SEXXXIEST summer lingerie," "The moves the men        
   really like," or "Sex tips for the new year, happy 1996!" it degrades     
   the women's level in society.                                             
                                                                             
       Right about now all the women's rights groups are telling me "I see   
   nothing wrong with women doing this.  It shows that they feel more        
   comfortable with issues about sex."  But so what?  Maybe the men don't.   
   I don't know, I've never sexually molested a woman, and don't             
   particularly plan on it, but others have, and I don't doubt that          
   magazine covers such as the ones I'm speaking of had some part in it.     
   So food for thought, and note that I'm not justifying Mike Tyson here,    
   he's got the smallest knowledge : size of brain ratio I've ever seen.     
   Would he really have patted that babe on her butt if she weren't wearing  
   something so revealing?  When you invite people to a party, you can't     
   expect to kick them out when they show up at your door, and when you      
   invite trouble, you can't expect to kick its hand off your ass.           
                                                                             
       AAAAAND right about now the whole scene thinks I'm insane.  Oh well.

       Now for the thing itself...                                           
                                                                             
       Why the hell do you HATE Reflux so much?  Tklp?  I hate him too, I    
   think he is a 15 year old that thinks that telling everybody that he is   
   fucking will make him look stronger, but I don't give a damn!  As long    
   as he releases stuff (and he does release stuff) then go ahead!           
                                                                             
       I'm always for the second chance.  Believe me that if he will do the  
   same thing he did with ROR, the Quake Final release, nobody will give     
   him a third chance.                                                       
                                                                             
       I don't care if the leader is 3 years old, if he is gay, if he has    
   pimples on his face, or if he is on drugs.  As long as he is supplying    
   ME and the rest of the scene games, I'm happy, and I'll thank him for     
   that.                                                                     
                                                                             
       Also, why all the 'fucking' in the response to JdA???  He comes to    
   you with a reasonable letter, at least reply him nicely.

   Dear God-Ion,                                                             
                                                                             
       I don't hate tKLP.  Re-read what I wrote.  Re-read the whole jig      
   about Reflux.  When reflux came about, I wished them the best of luck,    
   hoping that they would not repeat their past flaws and congratulating     
   them on the second chance they have received.  I even applauded Manic     
   for his letter of apology published just after Reflux released a dupe     
   (By the way I'm glad they did, the game is a great one and I like it, I   
   could have never found the FBI version from November 1995, so this dupe   
   helped me and I'm sure many others).  The ONLY person I was mad at was    
   JdA.  Why?  Because he has no balls to admit a mistake.  He is the type   
   of person that should be in a group like COPS.  Release shareware and     
   say it was warez.  I mean they duped, but who the hell cares?!            
                                                                             
       Oh, and he didn't approach me with a letter.  If he would have done   
   that, he would have gotten it 10 times worse.  He approached the scene    
   with that letter.  I get a lot of stupid mail in my mailbox, from a lot   
   of stupid people.  Some of it even gets published!  I have the ability    
   to delete it and laugh or publish it.  However JdA released that letter   
   to the scene.  I had no power over what would happen to it.  I couldn't   
   "not publish" it.  And do you know WHY he published it to the scene       
   independently and didn't submit it to RCN?  Because he has no balls and   
   didn't want to see the answer.  Too bad he saw it anyway.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       Wassup Everyone!  This is just a little something I'd like to say     
   about the interview done on AOD (Angel of Death) about LGN (Legion) and   
   how they kicked out AcidPlain.                                            
                                                                             
       Everything that AOD had said was true.  I was in the group for about  
   two days.  If many of you don't remember, I was the one who constructed   
   the group's first diz.  I was approached by a senior (I think he was at   
   the time) of the group, Samuraion.  He said that if I did a .DIZ for the  
   group, I'd become a member and have access to all their sites.  I wasn't  
   all that excited, but it would have been a good chance to get my art      
   skills up to par.                                                         
                                                                             
       So I went to another window, loaded up my ansi editor, and began to   
   work on the diz.  Five minutes had passed and I had finished the diz.  I  
   sent it over to Samuraion and he told me he liked it.  He gave me access  
   to their channel, and told me that I would be added to the INFO as a      
   member, and that I would soon have access to their site(s).  I was a      
   little excited, thinking that this group would have a lot of success,     
   and that I was a part of it (after all, without a diz, they wouldn't get  
   far).  So I was given access, and soon became friends with a few people   
   in the channel.                                                           
                                                                             
       All was going good.  I was couriering their releases as soon as they  
   were being released.  I was doing the job that their couriers should      
   have been doing.  I was grabbing their releases off a member's shell      
   account, and sending them all around my a/c, and to other sites which I   
   wish to keep anonymous.                                                   
                                                                             
       I went into the channel a couple of days after the last release, and  
   soon noticed after 5 minutes that I still had not been opped.  So I       
   waited figuring I was lagged.  I waited, and waited, but still no +o.     
   So I msged Acidplain, and he said he would go check the nfo file to see   
   if I was in the group.  Turns out I wasn't in the latest nfo file, so he  
   had no proof.  I told him that I was the one who did the DIZ for them,    
   but still no ops.  I waited for Samuraion to come into the channel.  He   
   came in about an hour after I first joined.  I told him that my ops had   
   been taken away and that I was not in the NFO file.  He told me he added  
   me, and said that he would do it again.  He sent me a copy of the latest  
   one which had my name in it, and I kept it on my HD.  I joined the        
   channel the next day, and to my surprise (yeah right), I was not given    
   the ops.  I was added to the bot, and then got my ops back.  I was        
   disconnected due to my computer freezing, and then connected back to IRC  
   30 minsutes after.                                                        
                                                                             
       I joined the channel again, and once again, no ops.  I was mad at     
   this time, and so I sent a public message out stating that someone was    
   removing my name out of the BOTS' list and that that was the reason for   
   me not having my ops.                                                     
                                                                             
       Samuraion joined the channel again, and he told me that he would      
   once again add me to the bot.  I waited, and then had ops again.  I was   
   then -o'ed and was wondering why.  I messaged Acidplain, and he said he   
   didn't need me any longer because they had received a new diz and didn't  
   want mine anymore.  I was fucking pissed (excuse the language).  So I     
   left the channel, and msged X-Factor, and told him that Acidplain was     
   asshole, and explained why I had called him that.  I got no reply, but    
   when I joined channel #Legion, I was kicked out of the channel by none    
   other than Acidplain.                                                     
                                                                             
       I figured that whatever information I was giving to other members of  
   the group, was being leaked out to Acidplain, so I said "Fuck This" and   
   left the channel, never to return again.                                  
                                                                             
       So to all wondering if that interview contained some false            
   information, none did whatsoever, whatever was said about Acidplain is    
   true.  And I regret ever doing any work for that guy.  All respects go    
   out to Samuraion for giving me a chance, and to X-Factor for being there  
   when I needed help!

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I was on my favorite warez channel, #Warez66, and I had been asking   
   around for some time now and no one seemed to be responding.  Then after  
   time of waiting, to my joy, a guy named NetFrack goes "I do."  I quickly  
   messaged him back, and he DCC's me this huge "Mywarez.nfo."  I shell to   
   DOS to see what this nfo file is all about and, find out its a nicely     
   arranged list of all this guy has!                                        
                                                                             
       Overjoyed, I try to strike a deal with him, and ask him questions     
   which indulges us in a conversation.  The thing that really surprizes     
   me, is when I learned that he started warez only 8 months ago!  The       
   biggest shock comes to me when he tells me he got his first computer in   
   November of 1995!  His first experience with a computer he says was when  
   he was 8 years old (a Comodore 64, at a Kids Centre) playing games and    
   crap.  From then on, he dreamed of getting one.                           
                                                                             
       Finally, after another 7 years his fascination with computers was at  
   its peak, he bought one.  Though not knowing much about them, he decided  
   to make the leap and finally managed to get Ma and Pa to get him one.     
   Low on money he had to choose the most economical, a Pentium 75, with 8   
   megs of ram.  After that, like any newbie, he went and signed up with     
   AOL, Compuserve, etc.  He tried them all out.                             
                                                                             
       However, he was still not into the wonderfull world of warez until a  
   friend of his gives him a copy of Doom 2, with group nfos and all.  He    
   sees them and realizes that something very interesting out there exists,  
   which he must find out about.  In December of 1995, he gets a real        
   Internet account, and manages to figure out IRC in about 2 weeks.  From   
   that time until now, he has managed to gather 2.2 gigs of warez (don't    
   ask me how, he doensn't know either) and has even managed to join some    
   groups, as an artist and a courier.                                       
                                                                             
       This guy went from being a computer illiterate, to a warez god in     
   such a short time.  What I'm trying to say is, if NetFrack can do it,     
   all you newbies, pirates or not, can too!  All it requires, is            
   dedication, and the willingness to go out and learn about the scene       
   first!  Then the warez will come to you...

       I won't bore you with the usual kudos.  You guys are incredible.      
   I'm frankly amazed at the amount of data and expertise you dudz put in    
   each mag.  I just don't know how you do it.  Needless to say, since       
   issue #19, I'm a latecomer, but very hooked on your publication.          
                                                                             
       Two comments.  One, is it me or does your website links go nowhere?   
   What's up with that?                                                      
                                                                             
       Second, I've read a lot about dupes, etc., and have experienced       
   downloading mega releases, only to find viruses in key files.  Gotta      
   suggestion maybe you dudz might be able to pass along to the release      
   groups.                                                                   
       1.) Generate a PGP public key for your group                          
                                                                             
       2.) On all of your releases, verify the .zip or .arj or .rar or       
   whateverthefuck you use with that key.                                    
                                                                             
       This verifies that the files are GENUINE releases from the group in   
   question, and that they stand behind the fact that they're virus free.    
   That way, some phuckin lamer who wants to put Stoned Monkey or some       
   other lamer shit in the file, will have to phuck with the file, thus it   
   won't pass the key.                                                       
                                                                             
       Just a thought, fellas.  Keep it up...

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       I was reading RCN #23 when I came to an editorial done by a member    
   of RCN (HBKid).  It was regarding how release groups release programs     
   which nobody would use, and how it's not their fault.  Here's a piece of  
   his work :                                                                
                                                                             
   "I guess it is not the release group's fault if the programmers these     
   days are not making quality programs... have some pride and don't         
   release 'How To Type Faster Part 5' when they know people don't use it."  
                                                                             
       When I read this, I thought to myself "But it is the release group's  
   fault."  The fault is not at the programmer.  People do use these         
   programs <as lame as that may seem>.  They are used in school, in         
   training programs, etc.  There are many programs out there which may      
   seem dumb, but in the professional world, and not in this fantasy world   
   we live in, the programs are very important, and are used by thousands    
   of people through out the world.                                          
                                                                             
       This is just a word of advice to the release groups.  Even though it  
   is a VERY hard job these days to find and release a good game or util,    
   you must also stop and think that not everyone in the scene will give     
   you the credit for it (as HBKid said in his article).  There are many     
   people in the scene who will take advantage of the release, and use it    
   for their personal use, but the majority will only look at the release,   
   and go onto the next.                                                     
                                                                             
   *PS* "Quality Over Quantity!"

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       First I'd like to say that your mag is the best.  Being a coder       
   myself, I find that Xenon's code is really good (NO, I won't request      
   code as I don't need it).  Well anyway, I write in response to Bass       
   Extream in Issue #21.  He said that in his area there are only 5 boards   
   left.  He doesn't know how LUCKY he is.  In my area (514, real sucky      
   since the RCMP busted most boards a year ago) there are new boards        
   popping up every day.  Normally, this would be a good thing, since more   
   boards means more places to call besides the Internet, but it is not.     
   Unfortunately, most of these boards are run by little 14 year-old         
   kiddies who don't know shit about modems or even computers.  They run     
   their little board on Renegade, call everyone who doesn't run on          
   Renegade lame (yeah, right, "PCB rules but you can't config it" they      
   say.  HA!) and such.  They are litterally killing the board scene here.   
   You don't want to know how many groups have started and died in the last  
   month.  Here, since most of the stuff is in french, the kiddies go        
   around saying "Vachier mon criss, tu vaux pas de la marde pis m'a te      
   tuer" (means go to hell, you aren't worth shit and I'm gonna kill ya...)  
   You see what I mean?                                                      
                                                                             
       Now I don't say everyone is like that (you have an affiliate in my    
   area, Area 51, I know the board and I talked to the Sysop a couple        
   times) and some are cool.  But another problem around here is message     
   networks.  There are at LEAST 20 of them, most real shitty with kiddoes   
   on them who are learning to type.  So what's to do?  Most people don't    
   even want to turn to the Internet here because they say it costs too      
   much (my shell connection is 30$/month with 100 hours, not TOO bad but    
   still I'd prefer if I didn't have my 4 megs quota).  This gets            
   overcrowded boards, kiddoes (don't want to call them lamers since not     
   all of them really are) who run them and who are saying "I want warez!    
   I want messages!  I want the perfect board but I can't configure it!      
   Mommmmy!"  I ran a board 2 years ago, now I turned to PCB and am still    
   modding it, making my own PPEs and such, while little kiddoes are         
   shouting to me that I'm a lamer.  Come on...

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       This is a letter in reply to 'Da Phreak's' letter in RCN #22.  I      
   really feel he should look harder into what he is talking about.  He      
   asks :                                                                    
                                                                             
       "I mean, who is the thief here?  Us or them?  They charge $50 for a   
   piece of plastic and some magnetic tape, and I AM THE CRIMINAL for        
   getting it for free?"                                                     
                                                                             
       Yes, my friend, you ARE the criminal.  Obviously he doesn't know how  
   hard coding can be.  I'm sure he's unaware that it took iD YEARS to make  
   quake the game it is and they should be rewarded.  This is why Mr. Law    
   Making Guys have tried to protect these programmers from people like us.  
   Later on, Da Phreak states:                                               
                                                                             
       "I mean, there is a chance <1 in 1 000 000 000> that I could          
   randomly write binary that would replicate this last scene from a well    
   known 3D game."                                                           
                                                                             
       Once again, his ignorance shines through!  Let's look at some very    
   elementary probability:                                                   
                                                                             
       (Let's assume 'this last scene from a well known 3D game' is 200k):   
                                                                             
       200x1024=204800 bytes                                                 
       204800x8=1638400 bits                                                 
       2^1638400= REALLY BIG.                                                
                                                                             
       So you see, it's a bit bigger than 1 : 1 000 000 000.                 
                                                                             
       Now before someone calls me a hypocrite for saying all this, I'd      
   just like to say that I accept how much work programmers put into their   
   games.  I accept I'm a ciminal.  I just don't care. :-)

       Xenon, I am a coder, and I want to ask you if you actually coded all  
   the stuff yourself, or you used other people's code.  Let's say Tyrian    
   the game, was it coded all by you?!?  I can't believe that someone is     
   able to code a game like that in a week unless you have no life at all    
   and you work on it 10 hours a day.  If you would like to share some info

       I would just like to say that RCN is by far the best emag there is.   
   I like listening to the music the most, but the articles are just as      
   good.  The new artwork is also great.  I was wondering if you could       
   realase a pack of all the songs that are in the mag.  One more thing,     
   who in RCN lives in Centerline, MI?  Cuz I live by Centerline and I was   
   just curious.

       It is unbelievable how far your magazine has come in just 22 issues.  
   The graphics are top notch, the sound is some of the best I have heard,   
   I play it in the background when I am doing things, nothing else like it  
   on the market.  I think that what you are doing is great, something kids  
   and others can enjoy reading, no crap like they shovel out in The New     
   Yorker or anything like that.  Keep up the good work.

       Oh God bless you my good man!  This is going straight from my mail    
   box to my upcoming AP English teacher's desk.  She has this thing about   
   making the students read an article out of The New Yorker every day, and  
   let's just say most don't think of it as an enjoyable task.  Hopefully

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       This letter is partly in response to Ermac's letter in RCN #21 about  
   the benefits and popularity of IRC Couriering, and partly my opinions     
   and other feelings about IRC Couriering.                                  
                                                                             
       IRC couriering, in my opinion at least, may show which files are the  
   more popular ones, but with BBS trading (I don't do FTP trading), I know  
   that you can find more online about the file you are going to download,   
   as well as have a more reliable and faster connection to get the file     
   from.  Often, when leeching off a DCC bot on IRC, you have to wait for a  
   slot to become available, and when that does, how are you to know the     
   bot won't drop connection while sending you the file.                     
                                                                             
       I know that when I BBS trade I can upload or download simulateously   
   while knowing that I can get a connection on most multinode boards        
   whenever I want, and know that the board is stable and won't disconnect   
   in the middle of my transfer.  With IRC couriering also, you may be       
   getting decent rates thru a t1 or t3 on your provider from the bot, but   
   then, after it reaches your hd, you have to sit and wait while            
   downloading it off your providers drive.  Now, this can be hasslesome,    
   and I do know that many will go through this trouble just to get an 0     
   day release, but it's not THAT beneficial timewise.                       
                                                                             
       Now, I don't want to sound like guys who setup DCC bots on IRC are    
   lame, or stupid, I think that those who have bots steady going 24/7       
   offering the latest files in any offer channel are very taleneted and     
   should be commended.  I personally think though, that IRC Courering       
   leaves the trading scene too simple.  I enjoy trading locally, and on     
   occasional 800/888s, and I only use DCCs to get mags and small files      
   (under 200k).  I enjoy the competition that trading gets on boards        
   trying to beat other guys who have the same files.  IRC trading gievs     
   people the "no ratio" advantage of taking files off IRC returning         
   nothing, and then becoming well known.  I hope to start telnet trading    
   soon, but right now I'm rebuilding my board from a hard drive crash, and  
   don't have much time on my hands between that and work, so BBS trading    
   is all I can do.                                                          
                                                                             
       Finally, I'd like to address Ermac's saying that groups like          
   Everlast and RiSC should get dcc channels and offer bots.  I personally   
   would like to commend Everlast and RiSC and all other groups that only    
   trade where the REAL competition is, on boards and sites.  Anyone can     
   sit on IRC for a few hours a day offering some new files they DCCed from  
   someone else, but it takes                                                
                                                                             
       someone who is fairly talented to trade the fast files on the         
   fastest boards and sites in the world.  Again, I don't think all DCC      
   guys are bad, fATE did a good thing creating #fATEfiles, but it got way   
   to popular and blown out of proprtion.  I have a lot of friends in fATE   
   or who used to be in fATE, and have respect for the group itself.         
                                                                             
       In my area, I'm glad to see trading picking up because of IRC, but    
   many people ask me why I don't just move my board to real fast, and       
   leech off IRC all day.  The reason is, it's too easy.  Again, no          
   competition and no ratios.  That's why sites and boards gain the          
   importance they do.  Most TRUE traders get the files off the whq's or     
   group affiliated sites, and spread from there.  IRC trading has been      
   given too much importance in the scene.  IRC should be left as group      
   channels to have group information publicly available, and in some        
   cases, just a meeting place between fellow members to talk.

   Dear RCN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       How hard is it to find a god release these days?  That is a good      
   question when you really think about it.  When BBSing and trading files   
   how many files that you download do you actually use?  When looking at    
   files these days they seem really pathetic.  For instance, why would      
   someone want a personal heatlth manger or something that is very boring.  
   3D Creative caladers and other lame releases I have seen passed around    
   and when checking my BBS stats it seems that these files are never        
   downloaded while Duke Nukem 3D on my board was downloaded 75 times!!!     
                                                                             
       I think that release groups should take more time and release         
   quality things that a majority of people would like instead of wasting    
   time cracking and passing around total junk.  For instance, I must have   
   traded and seen over 5-7 gigs of files and how many of those files did I  
   actually use?  Hardly any to be perfectly honest, in my time in the       
   scene I might have used about 500 megs of all the things releases and a   
   lot of the things that I used were the older files which I had to         
   request because most of the newer things out there aren`t even that       
   great to begin with.                                                      
                                                                             
       I guess it is not the release group's fault if the prgrammers these   
   days are not making quality programs to crack but I do think they should  
   have some pride and don't release "How to Type Faster Part 5" when they   
   know people won't use it.                                                 
                                                                             
       The problem these days is people are just couriering for fun... for   
   something to do and they will trade almost everything and not even use    
   it so release groups can get away with releasing junk because they know   
   people will trade it no matter what it is.  So release groups that read   
   this letter and think about the quality of your releases lately and ohh   
   yea try to make sure they work to.                                        
                                                                             
       Couriers read this and remember next time you courier "How to Cook"   
   maybe if you refused to trade some lame releases like that maybe the      
   groups will stop releasing them!

       Since before I can remember when, courier groups have been battling   
   over which courier group was #1 in this and that, blah blah.  Courier     
   Group A would steal a good courier from Group B, and then Group B would   
   get mad and then Group B would steal a good courier from Group A, and so  
   on.  Courier groups would steal a member here, and a member there for     
   the sake of improving a group's couriering ability.  However, with the    
   advent of the Internet, and the structuring of the few but well           
   organized FTP sites, many courier groups are now switching their          
   attention into battling over FTP sites instead.  A good FTP courier       
   could be found anywhere, but a good FTP site is hard to come by, and is   
   heavily sought after by group leaders.  Group leaders risk (no pun        
   intended) a few back stabbings here, and lie a bit there, and do          
   something lame somewhere else, just for the chance that they might be     
   able to acquire a few of these important FTP sites.                       
                                                                             
       The following is a story of how RISC steals (I could use a more       
   passive word, but what the hell for?) a FTP site from Amnesia.  Amnesia   
   is caught with its pants down, and the owner of the FTP site, Ryu, who    
   happens to be an Amnesia member, is stuck in a Catch 22 scenario.  A      
   long, long, time ago (last week), in a galaxy far away (Oregon), an       
   Amnesia siteop is ganged up on by his friendly (back stabbing) RISC       
   cositeops, and thus, loses control... here goes...

   <Abo-bo> Do you know about Ryu and Oasis and the situation between        
            Amnesia and RISC?  Do you know the situation there?              
                                                                             
   <Pand> No, I do not, but just tell me the information and I will see to   
          it that the higher ups at RCN will get this information.           
                                                                             
   <Abo-bo> Well, here is the situation, Ryu and Vile started a site named   
            The Doughnut Hole with Ryu and Vile as siteops.  We'll refer to  
            that site as the The Doughnut Hole for sake of anonymity.        
            Later on, Vile dropped out of the site for a few weeks, and Ryu  
            asked Devast to help out as a cositeop.                          
                                                                             
   <Pand> Please continue...                                                 
                                                                             
   <Abo-bo> Then, the site became the Prestige USHQ and the Amnesia Courier  
            HQ.  At this point, Devast lied to Ryu to try to get him to      
            drop Amnesia and go with RISC.  Ryu told Devast and RISC that    
            he did not want to drop Amnesia for RISC (refer to the           
            interview with Ryu in RCN #23).  At that time, Devast kept on    
            trying to get The Doughnut Hole to go with RISC by getting Ryu   
            to drop Amnesia.                                                 
                                                                             
   <Pand> I see, is there anything else?                                     
                                                                             
   <Abo-bo> Ryu repeatedly slammed Devast's ideas to go with RISC.  Ryu's    
            logic was that Devast wanted RISC only for his own personal      
            gain by schmoozing the higher ups of RISC.  And Ryu did not      
            want that kind of shit to happen on his site.  The fact of the   
            matter was this, Devast thought that he owned the site now.  No  
            matter how much work he thinks that he put into the site, Ryu    
            was still the one housing the hardware.  If the feds had         
            knocked down the door, Ryu would go to jail, not Devast.  This   
            was and is Ryu's site.                                           
                                                                             
   <Pand> So the actual site is like in Ryu's room?                          
                                                                             
   <Abo-bo> After this, the hardware needed to be moved to another location  
            for reasons that I am not willing to reveal.  An unnamed person  
            volunteered to house the hardware under the stipulation that it  
            whould still be Ryu's site.  The only difference would be that   
            the hardware was in a new local.  The day after the unnamed      
            siteop gave that promise to Ryu, he took that back after Ryu     
            had decided to boot Devast from the site.  Ryu wanted Devast     
            out because Devast was using the site for personal gain and for  
            selfish motivations.                                             
                                                                             
   <Pand> Yuck...                                                            
                                                                             
   <Abo-bo> At this point in time, the siteops and cositeops decided that    
            they wanted to drop Amnesia again, and bring in RISC.  It's      
            funny since 4 of the 7 siteops and cositeops are RISC members.   
                                                                             
   <Pand> Whoa, I guess RISC secured that site.                              
                                                                             
   <Abo-bo> Ryu would not let this happen.  He stated before that his site   
            would not go to RISC, and now, by Devast's undermining, the      
            site was again trying to do so!  Ryu stated the fact that he     
            would leave the site as a siteop if they booted Amnesia, which   
            they did.  So Ryu is no longer a siteop on The Doughnut Hole.    
            I have a log that I took with Devast, Revolver, and myself.  I   
            want this published so that the scene knows what a whining,      
            sniveling, and backstabbing little bitch that Devast really is.  
            Can I dcc you the log file?                                      
                                                                             
   <Pand> Go right ahead, I would really appreciate it.

       The following is a log file which details how Devast justifies        
   ousting Ryu from The Doughnut Hole.  Devast claims that he was the one    
   who started the site and that he is the sole reason why the site was a    
   success.  However, the truth is anything but what Devast claims it to     
   be.                                                                       
                                                                             
       For those of you who are currently leaders in a courier group, or     
   would someday like to be running a group, it would be good to either      
   learn how to be sly like Devast, or to learn how to outsly someone like   
   Devast.  Either way, Devast has a lot to teach us.  You can either learn  
   to be like Devast, and catch other people with their pants down, or you   
   can learn how to prevent from being fucked over by people like Devast,    
   and thus, prevent getting yourself caught with your pants down.  Read on

   <Devast> Ryu said, "If the site drops Amnesia, I am gone."

   <Devast> We had a vote on whether or not to drop Amnesia and Ryu's vote   
            was accounted for as a "no."  The deal to boot Amnesia off the   
            site was made by 5 people who were on the weektop.  They only    
            had 2 that wanted to keep the site Amnesia.

   <Devast> Amnesia does nothing for the site.  Amnesia only leeches.

            site.  There was a staff vote and people voted 5 to 1 in favor   
            of dropping Amnesia.                                             
                                                                             
   <Revolver> Who is on staff besides Coolio, Ryu, and yourself?             
                                                                             
   <Devast> Arch-Vile, Cyberjack, and Darkside are all part of the staff.    
                                                                             
   <Revolver> These guys are obviously biased against Amnesia because they   
              are all in RISC!  Which fucking group do you think they will   
              vote for?  It's all rigged man and you know it.                
                                                                             
   <Devast> So what?  The vote was to drop Amnesia and Ryu was part of the   
            vote, but lost.                                                  
                                                                             
   <Revolver> Who started the fucking site??                                 
                                                                             
   <Devast> I did.                                                           
                                                                             
   <Revolver> YOU?  I could have sworn it was Ryu.                           
                                                                             
   <Devast> I got the traders on there trading.  I made it what it was and   
            Ryu knows that.                                                  
                                                                             
   <Abo-Bo> Devast, you my friend, are a bitch.  You voted to oust Ryu when  
            he started the site?!?!?  Fuck you all.  If you all want a site  
            without Ryu, then you need to pick a new name.  The Doughnut     
            Hole was, and always will be, Ryu's site and you are a bitch     
            for not backing him up.                                          
                                                                             
   <Devast> How am I supposed to back up Ryu after he tried to remove me     
            from the staff even though I was the one who did everything for  
            the site?                                                        
                                                                             
   <Revolver> I just think that you wanted RISC from the start because you   
              have some personal fantasy in being one of the scene high      
              rollers and the only ride you have to being anything like      
              that is with The Doughnut Hole.                                
                                                                             
   <Abo-Bo> Ryu wanted to remove you from the site because you wanted to     
            ditch Amnesia and go with RISC, why?  Because you are afraid of  
            facing a challenge.  You, my friend, might know some shit about  
            UNIX, but you could use a lesson or 2 in the loyalty             
            department.  RISC will use you and the site until you are not    
            worth a shit.  Then RISC will drop you like a sack of garbage.   
            You fell for their games, sucker.                                
                                                                             
   <Revolver> And why do you think personally you would belong in RISC?      
              You're not a trader.  What would you personally have to offer  
              them as a group??                                              
                                                                             
   <Devast> I simply want the site to be the best it can and that is done    
            only with RISC.                                                  
                                                                             
   <Revolver> And what does RISC have that Amnesia doesn't??                 
                                                                             
   <Devast> RISC is respected and it has traders.                            
                                                                             
   <Abo-Bo> Man, you are truly lame.  And you say that the site will be      
            better with RISC as an affiliation?  Listen here newbie, all of  
            the RISC traders that are worth a shit will trade on The         
            Doughnut Hole, not because it is a RISC site, but because it a   
            good site.  You voted to kick out Amnesia because you wanted to  
            kiss ass to RISC, and you know it.  I finally see how truly      
            weak you are, it is a pity.                                      
                                                                             
   <Revolver> From day one, Coolio said that Ryu would have FULL CONTROL of  
              the damn site.  He said that the only new stipulation was      
              that it was on his damn box.                                   
                                                                             
   <Devast> No, that was not the case, ask Coolio.                           
                                                                             
   <Abo-bo> You're a pussy and you have pushed for RISC before and Ryu told  
            you to go to hell.  And now you got your way, how many loads of  
            cum did you have to swollow to get it?!?!

  RCN: So what is your position on this situation with the site and        
         having Ryu kicked out?                                              
                                                                             
  CYB: I think that the whole thing is childish, Ryu agreed that for       
         major decisions, we take a vote and the majority rules.  We voted   
         to leave Amnesia 5 to 1.  He was 1, so we left Amnesia.  He said    
         that if we left Amnesia, then he'd quit, so we kicked him out.      
                                                                             
  RCN: Of course you did, you are in RISC.  If you didn't say vote for     
         RISC and I was in RISC, I would get you kicked out of RISC.         
                                                                             
  CYB: It's simple.  I am trying to keep an objective point of view on     
         this.                                                               
                                                                             
  RCN: Ryu left, he was not kicked.                                        
                                                                             
  CYB: But I just think he should have followed his own rules about the    
         site.  He could have stayed in Amnesia, but he said if the site     
         leaves then he would leave the site.  He could have been in         
         Amnesia and a siteop on The Doughnut Hole.  I'm in RISC, but I      
         didn't quit RISC to become a cositeop on The Doughnut Hole.  It's   
         the same thing. I'm in Prestige and The Doughnut Hole is            
         affiliated with Razor, I am not quitting Prestige to join Razor.    
         Devast was in no group, yet he is still a siteop on an Amnesia      
         site.                                                               
                                                                             
  RCN: You have a duty as a loyal RISC member to make sure that shit goes  
         good in RISC's direction.                                           
                                                                             
  CYB: I have a loyalty as a RISC member to do what's best for RISC.  So   
         yes, you are correct.                                               
                                                                             
  RCN: Is this true?  Does this alter your decision at all?  That's all I  
         want to know since almost all the members of the The Doughnut Hole  
         staff are in RISC.                                                  
                                                                             
  CYB: All the cositeops are RISC members.  I voted to leave Amnesia       
         because Amnesia wasn't supporting The Doughnut Hole enough and yet  
         Amnesia had 15 leech accounts.                                      
                                                                             
  RCN: Don't you think that alters the decision just a little itty bit     
         though?                                                             
                                                                             
  CYB: No.  I told you I am being objective on this, I am not letting my   
         being in RISC effect it.                                            
                                                                             
  RCN: I just don't want this to seem like Amnesia can't do the job and    
         more like that The Doughnut Hole is a good site and all the RISC    
         members think it should be in RISC.                                 
                                                                             
  CYB: I also have a duty as a cositeop to do what's best for The          
         Doughnut Hole.  Apparently, Amnesia can't do the job.               
                                                                             
  RCN: What have you heard about Amnesia traders being nuked off of The    
         Doughnut Hole?                                                      
                                                                             
  CYB: I don't know everything.  I just know what I'm told.                
                                                                             
  RCN: A person with cositeop access was nuking Amnesia accounts on The    
         Doughnut Hole.                                                      
                                                                             
  CYB: It wasn't me.  I just nuked Amnesia once, and maybe a few other

  ASL: Well let me see, when I was calling a UK board called the flying    
         teapot (using a different handle at that time) I guess I was not    
         in any groups.  This is because I guess one could class me as       
         inept in the warez of the scene, but I contributed whatever I       
         could to the board.  In 1992, I joined a small Internet group       
         called FC.  Although one could not class it as a serious group in   
         terms of trading, warez, or speed, I still feel that FC held the    
         foundations of what the scene, the true scene is all about.         
                                                                             
  RCN: What foundations did this group hold which makes up the true

  ASL: The true scene is not just phreaking, carding, but the fact that    
         you share friendships which in my opinion is a thing that should    
         happen now.  As well, one can see the bullshit in groups is         
         growing nowadays, group fights, etc.

  ASL: After FC, where I met the likes of Stingray 6 and Cruger of RISC    
         (Rise in Superior Couriering), I joined RTS (Request to Send),      
         under the leadership of Dorian Hawkmoon and Ordnance.

  ASL: Reflecting back on RTS, my main job was to coordinate their         
         Internet side, and I thought I was doing good job, however          
         problems with the leadership made me leave RTS along with Dorian    
         Hawkmoon and a few others to form the group Malice.  With Vile and  
         Dorian's assistance, we rebuilt Malice with Jake the Snake.  At     
         first, I was a member of Council, but as more pressing duties       
         arose, I was given the position of Vice President.  Given the       
         charge of Malice was an honour to be bestowed on me, and I knew I   
         wanted to run Malice a little differently from most groups out      
         their.                                                              
                                                                             
  RCN: How did you want to run Malice differetly?  What did you have in    
         mind that would have made Malice stand out above the rest?          
                                                                             
  ASL: I tried to inspire good teamwork and a friendship enterprise        
         within the group which I say must have worked because Malice back   
         in its haydays was damn friendly and the members were easy going.   
         By having a good karma within the group, I felt this would give     
         Malice the edge over the rest.                                      
                                                                             
  RCN: How was Malice dominant while you were leading it at its peak?      
                                                                             
  ASL: Well, Malice did have problems with other couriering groups out     
         there, but times have now changed.  While leading Malice along      
         with Jake the Snake, Dorian, Lester, and company, everything went   
         like clockwork.  Malice conquered Europe and certainly the UK,      
         where there was no other competition.  So while Malice was          
         expanding, I sought to make the group afilliated with more utils    
         groups and gain strategic alliances with games groups.  Thus, I     
         joined smaller utils groups like Darius and Pinnacle, and games     
         groups such as Razor 1911 to ensure that Malice could and did       
         spread the warez.  By having a small voice in this and that group   
         and by establishing good team work between the releasing groups     
         and Malice, I envisaged that the Malice future should have been     
         bright.                                                             
                                                                             
  RCN: Should... but something unfortunate did happen to Malice.  What     
         turned your friendly Malice members into bitter Malice members?     
                                                                             
  ASL: However, since the problems with Malice in the last two months,     
         which may I add has been rectified by the current leaders, I have   
         left all posts because I was getting tired of it and I wanted to    
         finish my degree and do a Ph.D.  What happened to Malice with       
         Amnesia and Rapier is public knowledge so I do not wish to follow   
         that on.  Currently, since I am retired from all this, the only     
         thing I occasionally do is act as the independent siteop on         
         Enigma.                                                             
                                                                             
  RCN: Do you have plans to ever come back to Malice once you have         
         finished your Ph.D.?                                                
                                                                             
  ASL: Well, that would be in 3 years time haha, I really can't say.  I    
         do give some advice where needed, but I am tired of it all, and     
         warez just doesn't interest me anymore.  Sure, the boards still     
         retain some interest in the UK, where I like talking to the         
         sysops, but otherwise, I find the act of downloading warez via      
         molyturbo to be boring and basically unintresting.                  
                                                                             
  RCN: Which field is your doctoral degree in?                             
                                                                             
  ASL: My Ph.D. thesis will cover the development and the application of   
         the Information Superhighway for the benefit of the people with     
         special needs.                                                      
                                                                             
  RCN: I have a special need for warez.  You can interview me for your     
         doctoral thesis.  And I can go grab Darkhosis, he'll be your net    
         monkey, and you can give him tests, and you can give me warez.      
         Anyhow, what does Aslan stand for?  What does that word mean?       
                                                                             
  ASL: Haha, Aslan... well, if you're Turkish, Aslan would mean "lion."    
         However, if you read C.S. Lewis' books, Aslan is the good lion who  
         defends Narnia from the White Witch.                                
                                                                             
  RCN: What do you think of the current state of the couriering scene?     
         Do you think much has changed since you were an active leader of    
         Malice?                                                             
                                                                             
  ASL: The current state, well, that's a good question, if you split the   
         couriering scene between boards and the Internet, it is obvious     
         the attention is shitfing away from boards and toward the Internet  
         for the sake that it it is easier to courier to and it's faster.    
         The only group that I can think of that is like moffo dedicated to  
         the boards is Everlast, possibly RISC on their HQs and once upon a  
         time Malice on all their boards throughout the world.  But the      
         emphasis appears to be on the Internet, so there seems to be a      
         whole load of new Internet groups that appear week by week but I    
         am probably mistaken.  This would also imply that the Internet      
         scene appears to be reaching a saturation point as you can only     
         have so many Internet groups out there.  As for when I ran Malice,  
         I ensure that (tried to anyway) that my region, the UK, got its     
         boards covered well and that our sites in Europe got covered.       
         Also, before RISC took over Enigma and before Malice had its        
         difficulties, Malice did support Enigma damn well.                  
                                                                             
  RCN: So, if the scene is saturated, does that mean that it is GOOD or    
         BAD for the scene?                                                  
                                                                             
  ASL: Well, maybe a new blood will bring new attitudes, proving to        
         people that they don't have any ego problems and that they have an  
         idea what teamwork is all about.  I think the scene could do with   
         more of those types of people be it boards or the Internet.  Some   
         people take the scene far too seriously and think you have to be    
         elite and shit, and if you aren't elite, you have to be lame.  All  
         I can say is, the scene embraces those who believe in the right     
         ideology.  That's why when one of your writers, Trite, criticized   
         Malice, I wrote a letter based on facts and sound arguments, not    
         hysterical rantings and ravings that some people can give.  So      
         yeah, new people with decent ideas might not be a bad idea.         
                                                                             
  RCN: Mind you Trite is no longer a part of RCN, and is no longer         
         allowed to submit articles to RCN.  :)                              
                                                                             
  ASL: Well Trite I think has improved certainly, but as I say, never      
         judge a person by his or her cover until you know them.  As some    
         people say, there is an alpha and there is an omega.                
                                                                             
  RCN: And a Win 95 Beta... is there anything you would like to say to     
         the scene before we adjourn?                                        
                                                                             
  ASL: Let us all try and make what we have left in the scene a better     
         place be it on the Internet or on a board.  Because if we don't,    
         then we will be the final destructors of a hobby in which we all    
         participate and enjoy.  Remember, it's only a hobby guys and        
         girls.  Oh yeah, hi Steve, Duncan, Robert, Gary, Andreas, Philip,

  RCN: How long have you been in the scene?  Once you became a part of     
         the scene, how long was it before you started contributing to       
         various groups, and how did you contribute to each of these         
         groups?                                                             
                                                                             
  PSG: I've been in the scene for about 7 years now.  I started with       
         coding demos for demo groups, and some of those were Apocalypse,    
         Neurotica, and Rebels.  This was back in 1991, after that, I left   
         the demo scene and started coding viruses and some antiviruses,     
         but I soon got bored and started cracking for the IBM/PC, I         
         cracked/coded for Scotch which merged with PWA and then I left PWA  
         to join Hybrid in 1993.  After that, I joined FairLight where I     
         was cracking/organizing together with JBM.                          
                                                                             
  RCN: Wasn't FairLight a group that specialized in releasing floppy       
         games?  What happened after the floppy games scene died out?        
                                                                             
  PSG: Well, when the floppy games scene died out, I carried on to groups  
         like TDT, Mortality and finally Prestige and Siege which I am in    
         now.  Oh, I was also in Dynamix, but what the hell...               
                                                                             
  RCN: Because you have been in the scene for such a long period of time,  
         and because you've been active in various groups while being in     
         the scene, you can be considered a good witness as to the scene     
         happenings throughout your time.  In your expert opinion, what is   
         happening to the scene now, how has the scene changed in the past,  
         and how do you feel it will change in the future?                   
                                                                             
  PSG: I've noticed that the competition is less now in the IBM/PC scene   
         and loyality is becoming a thing of the past.  More and more        
         people are more interested in their own success and they don't      
         care about the groups they are a part of.  I think that the IBM/PC  
         game scene is going to die out in the future because the games are  
         getting bigger and bigger, and there aren't many good crackers      
         around that can do the job.  It won't be worth ripping the games    
         in the future.                                                      
                                                                             
  RCN: Even if games get bigger in size, isn't it also logical to assume   
         that transfer speeds between end downloaders will also increase at  
         the same rate?  According to Krypto's indepth study on download     
         times, which can be found in RCN #23, Krypto concluded that it      
         took the average downloader 2 hours and 19 minutes to download the  
         average 2 meg game in 1988 at 2400 b/s, and that it also takes the  
         average downloader 2 hours and 19 minutes to download the average   
         28 meg game in 1996 at 33.6 kb/s.  If that is true, then the size   
         of the game is not going to effect the scene because transfer       
         speeds will be going up as well.  How long do you think the IBM/PC  
         scene will survive?                                                 
                                                                             
  PSG: The scene will never die out totally, but it will be totally        
         different and as we already can see the quality isn't going to be   
         the most important goal.  I think the scene will survive 6-7 more   
         years and then die out.                                             
                                                                             
  RCN: When you speak that, "quality isn't going to be the most important  
         goal," are you referring to games groups that are indifferent to    
         quality?  If so, do you believe that there are games groups out     
         there which do stand for quality?                                   
                                                                             
  PSG: Honestly?  I believe that there are no groups at the moment which   
         are releasing 100% quality.  They are all so anxious to get the     
         games out.  It's not like in the C64 time when the group that       
         released the best cracks and trainers would win the release.  And   
         I can understand how the groups feel since what you are releasing   
         can never be 100% quality since you are ripping out a lot of        
         stuff.  The games scene right now is doing a very good job          
         advertising for game companies.  We release a ripped "demo" for     
         the game so that everyone can test the game and if they really      
         like it, they have to buy it to get everything.  It wasn't like     
         that back in the floppy days, since you would get the *WHOLE*       
         game.                                                               
                                                                             
  RCN: Even in the floppy days, you could use the same reasoning and say   
         that you never downloaded a *WHOLE* game because you never got to   
         download the manual.  Then, in order to get the *WHOLE* game, you   
         had to go out to buy the complete game at some software store.      
         Anyhow, why is the IBM/PC scene so different from the long ago C64  
         days?                                                               
                                                                             
  PSG: One of the reasons might be that people who bought a C64/AMIGA,     
         bought it to *PLAY* on it.  It was all about games.  On the         
         IBM/PC, 30 to 40% of the games have protection, if you can call it  
         that.  Back in the C64 scene, the crackers were often the leaders   
         of groups and they were doing most of the job.  They had the whole  
         game.  Most IBM/PC crackers today don't receive the whole game,     
         and when you know you're cutting on the quality when ripping the    
         game, you don't really feel like making trainers, docs and nice     
         intros for it.  And most importantly, the scene is split into 2     
         scenes, a demo scene and a cracking scene.  Before, those two were  
         the same and the cracking groups released quality demos too.        
                                                                             
  RCN: How did these two scenes which were originally one, split off into  
         two?                                                                
                                                                             
  PSG: Since the values changed, a good release isn't a release with a     
         nice intro.  Intros, demos, and maybe nice trainers became less     
         important to the cracking scene.  So leaders soon stopped asking    
         for intros because that was no longer an important issue for the    
         leaders who wanted game releases.  The demo people understood the   
         situation and left the cracking scene and started their own scene.  
         And there is such a big difference between the demo scene and the   
         cracking scene because you don't work a lot on one game/release.    
         But a good demo might take over a year of work!

         confirm for me?  I've heard that you've been framing other people   
         and taking down warez sites.  Is this true?

  RCN: It's Fun?  You're sitting in channels #Freewarezdcc and #Warez666,  
         snagging what you can I'm sure, so why are you hurting the scene?   
         Why don't you try helping the scene?                                
                                                                             
  PUS: Because that's not fun.  It's fun to see them squirm as I delete    
         all their files after downloading them for my personal use.

  PUS: No.  Cops usually leave the evidence for the FBI in the big         
         situations.  Cops don't delete sites.                               
                                                                             
  RCN: Uh huh... how is it that you can bypass security which would keep   
         you from deleting files?

  RCN: Ok, well, I'll be publishing this in this weeks issue of RCN #24,   
         is there anything you would like to say to the scene in general?    
                                                                             
  PUS: Yes, there actually is.                                             
                                                                             
  RCN: Please do...                                                        
                                                                             
  PUS: I just want everyone to know that the warez community will not be   
         a success until the warez community stops.  Software publishers     
         spend quite a while on the programming and creation of their        
         software, and I fully back them.  If I like a title, I buy it.      
                                                                             
  RCN: Ok, we all encourage people to buy the software if they like it.    
         Let me ask you this, how many sites have you taken out?  And do     
         you know the names of the groups in which you've hurt?              
                                                                             
  PUS: I think it's upwards close to a thousand sites.  It's kinda hard    
         to keep track of.  I especially like to delete quite a few of them  
         NVC (New Vision Couriers) sites.  They are VERY LAME!               
                                                                             
  RCN: What about big name courier groups?  Have any luck with those?      
                                                                             
  PUS: Actually, I did get a couple FATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange)      
         sites.  I think I ended up getting kicked off after I got about     
         half of the files on them.                                          
                                                                             
  RCN: I see.  You said up above that the warez community needs to stop,   
         and that if you like a certain title you go buy it.  However, you   
         just made a contradiction in terms.  You are in the warez scene to  
         review software to see if you like it before you buy it.  Why       
         don't you just get out of the warez scene and buy the software      
         that sparks your interest?                                          
                                                                             
  PUS: Well, demo versions usually really suck, so warez is nice to do a   
         quick play with, then delete.  But most people have huge warez      
         collections and never buy the full versions.                        
                                                                             
  RCN: I see, but in a sense, you do the same thing as everyone else, so   
         you too are supporting the scene.  Without it, you wouldn't know    
         what to buy and what not to buy either.                             
                                                                             
  PUS: I enjoy watching the idiots search for programs, it's funny as      
         hell.  I don't care about them, I don't care if it lasts.

       Well, it looks like we have yet another asshole on our hands.  This   
   one seems to be even more destructive than our old pal Chris Carter.      
   This guy is IP spoofing our very own IPs with a program which he wrote    
   himself.  I tried to get it from him, but he wouldn't release it.         
                                                                             
       After he looks like you by spoofing you, he jumps into the channel    
   that you were in and then somehow gets the addresses to the groups        
   sites.  He gets on the sites, takes what he wants, then somehow breaks    
   security and deletes everything on the site.  He can be found on the      
   Undernet under the handle PuSsy, however, from what I understand, he      
   likes to impersonate others a lot, so watch out!  This was the address    
   that I got on him at the time of speaking to him.

       One day, as I was checking my site lists, I came across a deleted     
   site and then another and another.  It's not an uncommon thing for one    
   but three in a row!  I noticed that they were all being deleted by the    
   same person, the dreaded "Pussy."  People have speculated about whether   
   warez is legal, and the answer is plain and simple NO.  But that's what   
   makes warez all more fun.  Why would someone go and delete what is a      
   passtime for millions of traders and "jobs" for crackers and coders?  Is  
   it fun for them to torment us?  No one will know unless they know the     
   few deleters out there.                                                   
                                                                             
       I frequent a few warez channels and the occasional #WarezX channels,  
   and all you hear is "That damn Pussy got site #2," or "That fucking       
   Pussy, I hate his ass, he deleted the site I was on."  Or even the        
   occasional playing of the Rip 96 file_id.diz.  I know I have said those   
   things too, but is it really that bad?  Are these "lamers" really         
   hurting us?  Is it causing the scene to fall apart?  The answer is NO to  
   all three questions. Yes, I said NO.                                      
                                                                             
       Many don't realize it but they are helping us.  They are forcing      
   more of us to find private sites and forcing curriers to find             
   delete-restricted sites.  These things are not bad and infact they help   
   the scene.  Private sites force non-eleetists to groups, which help the   
   scene of course, and delete restricted sites force hackers to find        
   better sites or work on their hacking skills so they can get root, and    
   while doing that improving their skills.  Private sites are better and    
   faster and delete-restricted sites help better group hackers.             
                                                                             
       All-in-all, they are nothing more than a pro for the scene rather     
   than a con.  Although it is annoying when they delete while your on a     
   site, but most people carry more than one list with them.  I would like   
   to say I do not encourage deleting, but bashing them will make it worse.  
   Just let them be and they will quit.  If not, work around them and join   
   a group.

         behind Coredump's success?                                          
                                                                             
  CD: Well, we are trying to bring some quality back into the scene, and  
         stay professional about it too.  We have to remember that the       
         scene is for fun, and we're all in it together.                     
                                                                             
  RCN: How has Coredump been able to bring back quality to the scene?      
         What makes Coredump stronger than other games groups, if that is    
         the case?                                                           
                                                                             
  CD: As a new group, we are trying to stay as organized as possible.     
         We strive to release working, non duped and properly cracked        
         games, by testing them and making sure they are ready.              
                                                                             
  RCN: Has it always been Coredump's policy to make sure that all          
         Coredump releases are properly cracked?  Also, on the note of non   
         duped games, could you mention a few Coredump releases that would   
         be categorized as non duped and quality?                            
                                                                             
  CD: We are a new group, as you noted, and have had small problems in    
         the past, but our policy is to make sure that the games are ready   
         to play after installation, 100 percent.  I would categorize Quake  
         as a quality release from Coredump.                                 
                                                                             
  RCN: Coredump has made some mistakes in the past, and I would not        
         consider them as small, but nonetheless, it's a thing of the past,  
         and Coredump has most definitely improved upon itself.              
                                                                             
  CD: A new group is bound to make mistakes, and we can use those         
         mistakes as something that we will not let happen again.            
                                                                             
  RCN: On the note of Quake, wasn't that already released by 2 other       
         games groups before Coredump released its version?  Could           
         Coredump's version of Quake be a dupe?                              
                                                                             
  CD: ROR supposedly released Quake Final, but it wasn't even the final.  
         ROR's release of Quake can't be put in the same category as         
         Coredump's release.  We're not talking about a FINAL Beta release   
         of a game here.  Razor 1911 also released Quake, but it was         
         released after Coredump had already released its version.  Our      
         version was out before theirs.  Razor had a quality release, and a  
         good job to them.                                                   
                                                                             
  RCN: A good job to Razor?  That's a good attitude to have, however, I    
         don't think Razor is repaying your nice compliment with a nice      
         compliment to you guys.  On the contrary, according to Perfect      
         Form, Razor has been putting down Coredump for releasing Quake.     
         Is Razor justified in its actions?                                  
                                                                             
  CD: Personally, I have a lot of respect for Razor because I have seen   
         them stay in the scene forever.  They have been putting out some    
         of the best games, and have lasted through many generations of      
         groups.  So I can see where Razor is coming from when a new group   
         such as Coredump beats them to a big release such as Quake.  I do   
         not put down Razor for this, because duping has been happening      
         more often in the last year or so, and it is a major problem in     
         the scene.  Razor has been a part of the scene for a long time,     
         and could get the benefit of the doubt for that reason, which is    
         unfortunate.                                                        
                                                                             
  RCN: So, you are saying that Razor duped Coredump, but most people will  
         still believe that Coredump duped Razor because Razor is the older  
         group?  Do you have any proof that Razor's release of Quake was a   
         dupe?  After all, Razor's release of Quake was uploaded to all the  
         major boards.                                                       
                                                                             
  CD: Yes, that's what I am saying.  Although Razor may not admit it,     
         most releases are taken care of on the Internet these days, and     
         our release was on all the major sites first.  So it really comes   
         down to the question, do boards or sites decide if a release is a   
         dupe or not?  In the past, boards have been the key to judging      
         whether a release is a dupe or not, but as the scene changes, so    
         should the deciding factors.                                        
                                                                             
  RCN: You also mentioned that dupes is becoming a much bigger problem in  
         the scene lately, how does Coredump prevent itself from duping?     
         And if/when Coredump does dupe, what is its immediate policy        
         concerning the matter?                                              
                                                                             
  CD: Well, we would obviously dupe check extensively.  We would usually  
         also take our time and make sure that no other groups are going to  
         release the same thing.  If we do dupe, we will admit it.  If we    
         win on a release, we are not going to cower into a corner just      
         because a much more established group releases the same thing.  We  
         stand by our releases.                                              
                                                                             
  RCN: You described Razor as good group earlier because Razor has been    
         in the scene for many "generations."  What do you mean by           
         "generations" when you use that word to describe Razor?             
                                                                             
  CD: I meant that Razor has lasted through many other overpowering       
         groups such as INC, THG, Genesis, TDU-JAM!, etc.  Razor has         
         managed to remain prominent and competitive through all the other   
         legacies of game release groups.                                    
                                                                             
  RCN: What are your future hopes and plans for Coredump?  How many        
         generations do you believe Coredump will last before it either      
         merges into another group or dies off?                              
                                                                             
  CD: Coredump hopes to establish itself as a quality releasing power in  
         the scene, and to continue releasing good games.  I can't tell      
         right now how long we will last, but we won't be short lived.

  RCN: I recently found that the courier group Lightning has nearly        
         doubled in size in a short week, what was the cause of this?        
                                                                             
  LGT: Yes, about 3 days ago, AOD (Angles of Death) merged with Lightning  
         to cause an increase in members.                                    
                                                                             
  RCN: Why did AOD decide to merge into Lightning?  Why did this merge     
         happen, how long has this merged been planned before it was taken   
         into effect?                                                        
                                                                             
  LGT: Well, from what I know, AOD decided to merge due to the fact that   
         they weren't getting noticed by the scene and weren't couriering    
         enough to keep them as a group.  The merge happened because they    
         had no place to go or couldn't move forward because they weren't    
         competing with any other of the courier groups in the scene.  I     
         think it was planned a few days in advance.                         
                                                                             
  RCN: You are now a senior member of Lightning, were you a senior before  
         the merge?  Were you a leader in AOD when AOD merged into           
         Lightning, or have you always been a member of Lightning?           
                                                                             
  LGT: Well, when I started in Lightning, I started as an IRC              
         Coordinator, which was a senior postion, and yes, I was a senior    
         when the merge occured.  I wasn't really a part in helping make     
         the merge take place.  Darksoul had a major role with getting the   
         merge to happen.                                                    
                                                                             
  RCN: How has Lightning's role in the scene changed since the merge?      
         Has the merge made Lightning a more respectable courier group?      
                                                                             
  LGT: The merge has made Lightning a more powerful couriering force in    
         the scene.  Before the merge, we lacked couriers, and this merge    
         has brought us more couriers which means we'll be doing a better    
         job on sites and offering.                                          
                                                                             
  RCN: How did the merge take place, were all AOD couriers accepted into   
         Lightning, or did very few AOD couriers make it into Lightning?     
                                                                             
  LGT: Most of the couriers made it into Lightning, the people who didn't  
         want to merge were given a chance to join, but there were very few  
         people who didn't want to merge, so we gained a lot of new          
         couriers out of the merge.  The merge was decided in channel #AOD   
         where all the decisions were made.                                  
                                                                             
  RCN: Were there any ex-AOD seniors or leaders that are now leaders in    
         Lightning?  Or was this strictly a group takeover, where Lightning  
         absorbed AOD?  In other words, do ex-AOD seniors or leaders have a  
         say in what goes on in Lightning?                                   
                                                                             
  LGT: No, the highest postion that any of the AOD members got were        
         coordinators, and senior FTP/IRC traders, but most of them became   
         couriers and a few artist also.                                     
                                                                             
  RCN: You freely claim that Lightning is now a new powerful force in the  
         scene, but what can Lightning do to back up the scene's             
         expectations?  What makes Lightning different from the various      
         courier groups out there, what makes Lightning stand out?           
                                                                             
  LGT: Well, now that we have more man power, we're more able to           
         acomplish more goals and standards.  Lightning has been             
         reoraganized since the merge and is ready to show what it can do.   
         We're different because of the fact that we have experienced        
         leaders and couriers.  Most of our seniors and highers are from     
         various different groups in the IBM/PC scene which makes them very  
         experienced and some have also run their own gorups at one time.    
         I think the name and the names of the people running the group      
         makes the group stand out even more.                                
                                                                             
  RCN: What are the future plans for Lightning?  Is Lightning planning to  
         head up its own offer channel modeling itself after groups such as  
         FATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) and Motiv8, or is Lightning       
         planning to stick to board/site couriering, thus modeling itself    
         after groups such as Amnesia and RISC (Rise in Superior             
         Couriering)?                                                        
                                                                             
  LGT: For now, I don't think Lightning is going to open a leech channel   
         due to the fact that most members don't want one and also because   
         there's no to have one.  Those channels only help to try and get    
         the group more respect, by having an offer channel, which I think   
         is a waste of time and energy since there are so many now.  We're   
         planning to get into more serious FTP sites and get up on the FTP   
         charts.                                                             
                                                                             
  RCN: The FTP charts, to what are you referring to?                       
                                                                             
  LGT: Well, everyone knows that RCN displays the best couriers on the     
         Internet, and so Lightning would like to get up there on the RCN    
         charts.

   The AOD - Lightning Merge                                                 
   -------------------------                                                 
                                                                             
       There have been some questions about the Angels of Death (AOD) and    
   Lightning merge.  I hope to answer some of these questions in the         
   following paragraphs.                                                     
                                                                             
       Because of school and other commitments, Nightsky, President of AOD,  
   felt he could not give the group the stable leadership that it deserves.  
   However, he did not want to see the group, that he and others worked so   
   hard to establish, just die and be forgotten.                             
                                                                             
       Fearing that the group might die after losing the strong leadership   
   of Nightsky and Morbid, who left because of personal reasons, the option  
   of merging into Lightning was presented to the members.  After a lengthy  
   discussion, a vote was taken and 75% of the AOD membership voted to       
   merge into Lightning.                                                     
                                                                             
       There was a general consensus that Lightning has strong, stable       
   leadership and an excellent Internet team, while AOD has excellent FTP    
   and BBS divisions.  Combining the two groups will make Lightning an       
   unstopable force in the scene.                                            
                                                                             
       When asked about the merge and what it will do for Lightning,         
   Darksoul, the Lightning President said, "It is the best move that both    
   groups could have made.  It gives us (Lightning) what we have been        
   lacking for the last few weeks and makes us even stronger than ever       
   before.  We now have stronger leadership (if that's possible), an         
   improved IRC/FTP division, and an absolutely oustanding BBS division.  I  
   look for us to be one of the top courier groups very very soon!"          
                                                                             
       Nightsky had the following to say about the merge, "I hope, thanks    
   to the input of the AOD couriers and members, that Lightning will be a    
   ruling force in the scene in a short time."

     Subject  : CCA Overview              Affiliation : CCA President

  RCN: How did CCA (Central Crime Association) come about?  When did you   
         decide to start your courier group CCA?                             
                                                                             
  CCA: Well, I decided to start CCA after THC (The Hardened Criminals)     
         decided to go on as a release group.  CCA was brought up powerful,  
         and still is powerful.  CCA started on the 28th of June.  CCA       
         started small and is growing bigger and more influential as a       
         couriering force everyday.                                          
                                                                             
  RCN: What experience do you have as a leader and member of groups?       
         Have you ever held leadership positions in other courier groups?    
         How experienced are you as a leader?  And what can you do as a      
         leader that no one else can?                                        
                                                                             
  CCA: Well, I was senior in THC, and I have a big past of affiliations.   
         I have seen a lot of people manage, and I try to mimic their ways.  
         I do it my way as well, but I use a little bit of every leader I    
         have been around.  There is really not much I can do that no one    
         else can do except for leading very well.  I consider myself a      
         good leader and I think my group does too because I keep things     
         organized 100% and so on.                                           
                                                                             
  RCN: How is CCA managed, are you the sole leader of CCA?  And how do     
         you keep things in CCA 100% organized?                              
                                                                             
  CCA: CCA is managed by me and the CCA Council.  Seniors take a little    
         part in it as well.  CCA is organized in teams.  We have teams      
         taking 2 sites or more, those teams just focus on those sites.      
         For example, Team A takes on the WHQ and the US-HQ, team B takes    
         on the EHQ and the Norway HQ, team C takes on two other distro      
         sites, and so on.  There are 4 teams in CCA, they each are          
         dedicated, and willing.  I am just around to keep everyone inline,  
         and working.  If they don't work and I have no use for them, they   
         get kicked out.  I have a lot of good and dedicated people like     
         Toosmooth, the CCA Vice President, and Fabfive a very good council  
         member, and Dupe, who all play very big rolls in CCA.               
                                                                             
  RCN: Your team seems to be presented very well, how did you come about   
         with such a strong team?                                            
                                                                             
  CCA: It sort of came about as Midhack's idea.  Midhack is a very good    
         courier, and he has alot of good ideas, and his idea really helped  
         out CCA with me modifying his idea.  Midhack is also CCA's Head     
         Courier.                                                            
                                                                             
  RCN: In making CCA a good courier group, it must be doing something      
         that makes it special or extraordinary, what might that be?  What   
         makes CCA different from the myriad of other courier groups out     
         there?  What separates it from being second class?                  
                                                                             
  CCA: CCA isn't like any other courier group because we are mainly made   
         up of friends and leaders.  What I would think of CCA that makes    
         it special is its name Central Crime Association.  CCA is sort of   
         a gang, not a courier group.  It's just a group of people hanging   
         out supporting the warez community, we try as much as possible to   
         get our warez to the public, we don't just trade among ourselves,   
         we also trade with public people.  And that's the truth.            
                                                                             
  RCN: I never said you lied.  Anyway, are there any plans for CCA to      
         start up its own offer channel following the footsteps of groups    
         such as FATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange) and Motiv8?               
                                                                             
  CCA: We already have an offer channel shared with other courier groups.  
         We ran #THCfiles until THC died.  What a bummer, and now, CCA       
         started and other groups started a thing called CrimeXnet, our      
         offer channel is in channel #Xnet, a very good offer channel        
         indeed.  CCA's offer team frequents there very well.  However, our  
         IRC Head Courier, manages all the things that pass through #Xnet,   
         he is CCA's representative for #Xnet, and the other groups have     
         their representatives as well.

  RCN: What is your view on the Razor/Coredump release of Quake last       
         week?                                                               
                                                                             
  FBI: Razor duped.  It was close, but Coredump beat Razor to the boards   
         and to the Internet.  Rumors went around that the Coredump release  
         of Quake did not work, but that is not true.  People only say that  
         because while we were spreading Quake, one of the copies had 3      
         disks screwed up and they where distributed incorrectly to several  
         popular sites.  Those disks have since been deleted and replaced    
         by working ones.                                                    
                                                                             
  RCN: You claim that Coredump beat Razor to the boards AND the Internet?  
         I've been hearing that Coredump beat Razor to the Internet, but     
         NOT on boards, can you explain this?                                
                                                                             
  FBI: Razor got it to their boards before we did, but we got it to A      
         board first.  We also got it to the FTP sites LA and BBX before     
         Razor had it on ANY board.  I personally have nothing against       
         Razor and I think that they are a GREAT group, but they lost on     
         this one.                                                           
                                                                             
  RCN: Ok, but do you acknowledge that Razor won on the Internet, even     
         though a release is usually judged by who gets it on the boards     
         first?                                                              
                                                                             
  FBI: No, Razor definitely lost on the Internet.  You may see it on a     
         few sites because the siteops don't have the balls to delete a      
         Razor release.  Plain and simple.                                   
                                                                             
  RCN: How many disks of the Coredump release made it to the Internet by   
         the time Razor put one disk up?                                     
                                                                             
  FBI: All of them.                                                        
                                                                             
  RCN: REALLY???                                                           
                                                                             
  FBI: Yes.                                                                
                                                                             
  RCN: I have tested the Coredump version of Quake.  It's very good and I  
         have found no bugs, at least not yet, but it took me forever to     
         find.  However, I could find the Razor version everywhere, why      
         would this be if Coredump's version was uploaded first and Razor's  
         version is a dupe?  Wouldn't the siteops nuke Razor's version       
         since it was a dupe?                                                
                                                                             
  FBI: The reason for that is because most siteops don't know about        
         Coredump and they do know Razor.  So they go with Razor because     
         they don't know any better.  Most siteops don't have the balls to   
         nuke a Razor release.  They just think that Razor is perfect        
         quality and that they never dupe.  Also, Coredump's reputation has  
         had a checkered past so siteops that do know about Coredump are     
         apprehensive to leave ours on and nuke Razor's.                     
                                                                             
  RCN: Are you referring to the uncracked NHL Power Play released by       
         Coredump as the checkered past?                                     
                                                                             
  FBI: Yup...                                                              
                                                                             
  RCN: If you did dupe Razor, and I'm not saying you did, then why did     
         you do it?                                                          
                                                                             
  FBI: We did NOT dupe Razor!  If you think so, you are WRONG!  We had it  
         first and I believe Razor has come to terms with it somewhat        
         though they are still upset they were beat.                         
                                                                             
  RCN: Also, this may seem strange, but there seems to be a Napalm         
         file.diz in the Coredump release of Quake, can you tell me why?

     Subject  : Core Steals the Credit?   Affiliation : NGT President

  RCN: In RCN #24, Stank-e makes the claim that the offering channel       
         #Phatfiles was started and controlled mainly by Core.  It became    
         obvious that soon after, NGT (Next Generation Traders) became       
         angry about what he said, why is that?                              
                                                                             
  NGT: Because of the fact that he claims Core started it, when they did   
         not.  This has happened several times, I don't put all of this      
         hard work in for nothing.  I offered everyday when it opened, and   
         asked all my friends to also.  I made it what it is today, and      
         Core jumped on the bandwagon after channel #Phatfiles was already   
         well established.  NGT members have gotten none of the credit for   
         all our hard work.                                                  
                                                                             
  RCN: Core and NGT still have gotten along great, from what I have seen,  
         does this threaten Core/NGT relations in any way?  If so, what do   
         you plan on doing about it?                                         
                                                                             
  NGT: I have nothing against Core, but shit like this gets me pissed      
         off.  Core members have been setting topics in channel #Phatfiles   
         that make it seem like they own it, "[Core] Phatfiles [Core]."  I   
         like to keep the channel a non-group based channel, like neutral    
         grounds.                                                            
                                                                             
  RCN: In a previous issue, you say that RCN may have played a small part  
         in leading people to believe that channel #Phatfiles was run by     
         Core, can you explain how that is exactly?                          
                                                                             
  NGT: Well, previously in RCN in the Warez-IQ Quiz, you guys made a       
         screw up in the question that asked who runs channel #Phatfiles.    
         You then listed Core, FATE (Fast Action Trade Exchange), and        
         Motiv8 as the answers, and Core being the right one.  The channel   
         isn't run by Core, like channel #Exceed is run by FATE and channel  
         #M8Leech is run by Motiv8, channel #Phatfiles is made up of         
         several groups.                                                     
                                                                             
  RCN: Stank-e claims that Palm, who used to run channel #M8Leech,         
         decided to start the channel #Phatfiles.  He also claims that       
         because Palm was in Core at the time, Core runs the channel, what   
         do you have to say about that?                                      
                                                                             
  NGT: Core, NGT, and the other groups run it now, but NGT started it.     
         Primarily, me and Palm started it.  I brought the DCC offering      
         people and Palm ran the bots, that's how it should be known.        
         However, Stank-e is making this very hard, by spreading             
         misinformation.                                                     
                                                                             
  RCN: Well, thank you for your time, and for giving your side of the      
         story Dee.                                                          
                                                                             
  NGT: No, thank you.  I hope this interview will clear up all the         
         misinformation out there spread by Stank-e.  :)

       Everybody in the 416 and 905 area codes should be keeping a look out  
   for a while.  I've heard from two reliable sources that the RCMP (Royal   
   Canadian Mounted Police) is hitting Toronto hard.  Beyond Akira, a        
   bulletin board run by Pharaoh of Razor 1911, was busted on the morning    
   of the 30th of July.  Here are a few anonymous comments I held with some  
   people about it.

   <Digitex> Can I get some information on Beyond Akira being busted?  I     
             hear it was the RCMP and I see that the Beyond Akira nodes and  
             telnet are down.                                                
                                                                             
   <Anon> Yes, the RCMP busted it this morning.                              
                                                                             
   <Digitex> Are there any official letters out that could clear up the      
             situation as of yet?                                            
                                                                             
   <Anon> There aren't any official letters out on the situation yet, but I  
          think they are being worked on. I am just finding the information  
          as it comes, but it was verified about 2 to 3 minutes ago.

   <Anon> This information is from a reliable source in the 416/905 area     
          codes.  Well, if you want some more information, the RCMP formed   
          a group a few months ago to stop the piracy in Canada.  6 months   
          ago in Montreal, 12 boards went down, some time after that, they   
          formed the coalition, and now as it looks, they are hitting        
          Toronto.  There are always busts of this nature around here.       
                                                                             
   <Digitex> Where can I find some information about this RCMP coalition?    
                                                                             
   <Anon> Well, I don't know about that much about the coalition, but the    
          RCMP formed something a few months ago to try to end the piracy.   
          All the elites of 416/905 should keep an eye out though.           
                                                                             
   <Digitex> When the RCMP raided Beyond Akira, do you know how much warez   
             was found?                                                      
                                                                             
   <Anon2> Well, there were approximately 140 gigs worth of warez found.  I  
           am not sure as to the exact meggage, but the information about    
           the 140 gigs was leaked out by a X-Force Senior, so I do not      
           know first hand.

       Well, that's it for the comments.  Here are some of my own            
   speculations on this.  If it's true that the RCMP is coming down on       
   Toronto as hard as it seems, then the 416 and 905 area codes had REALLY   
   better watch out.  I realize that it's sometimes much more difficult to   
   bust smaller boards, but at the same time, they are all run by people,    
   and the RCMP or FBI or whatever can get to them just as easily.  So, if   
   you're running a board in the 416 or 905 area codes, I highly suggest     
   you lay low for a while.

       Well it finally happened at 7:45 am today Tuesday 30 July 1996 the    
   R.C.M.P. and the Toronto Metro Task force Stormed the Fortress's of the   
   Great Pharoah's they attacked the Pyramid's and tore down the Great       
   walls ....and what did they find???? you ask, well they found the great   
   Pharoah getting ready for work and they also found the Awesome board      
   AKIRA up and running and recieving files at the rate of 2 Gigs a          
   week.....WOW what a snag for the moronic police force...damn amazing      
   that they caught the guy after only 4 years and what is more amazing is   
   that he only lives 300 yards away from a police station. Makes you        
   wonder how much easier could Pharoah have made it for them??? But none    
   the less they finally caught on ...:) well people as of today we have     
   lost the best board in the 416/905 area code and the best board in the    
   world.A great loss to the pirate community.                               
                                                                             
       All I have to say is that they better dig up a good expert that       
   knows how to run an Amiga so they can find what was on his HD's cause if  
   they stick them in a PC they are screwed (which they probably will try    
   and do).                                                                  
                                                                             
       After many conversations about the baord and his personal feelings    
   about piracy with Pharoah I can say that yeah he has ALOT of BALL's and   
   they probably did drag him out of his place kicking and screaming before  
   he placed a few well meant calls to some unnamed people to warn the       
   Toronto Pirate scene that it's coming down HIDE YOUR BOARDS be CAREFULL   
   of who you allow in the door without checking first.                      
                                                                             
       A fund will be setup so you can send your donations to the SAVE       
   AKIRA FROM THE FEDS or we'll just use the money to buy a camel for him    
   to make his escape back to Egypt (ride boy ride)...:)                     
                                                                             
       Well if any of you have any remarks or comments KEEP THEM TO          
   YOURSELF the man went down BIG and PROUD to the last he was not one of    
   these snivling little RATS that most pirateers are, soon as they are      
   faced with a prospect of going to jail they rat everyone and everthing    
   they know to the PIGS, and i have proof of that statment                  
                                                                             
       The INTERNET has brought in a NEW BREED of pirates "LAME ONES" and    
   as far as I am concerned the GOOD OLD DAYS are gone forever now all you   
   get is LAME ASS NET MONKEY'S trading anything they find on the net (bet   
   you the cops have a hard time charging Pharoah cause of all the           
   shareware they find on his HD's) and to make matters worse they think     
   they are SPECIAL what a bunch of WAZZOO's anyone now with an Internet     
   account is a pirate...that makes it a SELECT FEW doesn't it there was a   
   certain RESPECT from the older PIRATE'S that is not there today there     
   was a unwritten code among them, there was a good old rivalry and         
   friendship that just goes not exist today, and it is rapidly disappering  
   with the older pirates like Pharoah. Today's Scene is spreading 2 and 3   
   year old files and calling them NEW FRESH WAREZ, yeah right there is 2    
   gigs of zipped programs written every week from programmers??? give me a  
   god damn break!                                                           
                                                                             
       Well till We hear anything from Paroah himself we are assuming that   
   Akira is gone for good farewell to The Greatest Board around and lots of  
   LUCK to Pharoah with the pigs (hope you get off easy bud) and a final     
   word of warning to the rest of you  BE CAREFULL as to who you talk to on  
   the net or anywhere there are alot of people are dead set against piracy  
   and will do anything to take it down keep quiet about the boards and the  
   Inet Site's make it hard for the pigs to find them, to quote an old       
   saying

   *** Grimm (xxx@xxxxx.xxx) has joined channel #RCN                         
                                                                             
   <Grimm> Hey guys, have you seen the RCN source code flying around?  What  
           do you guys think of that?                                        
                                                                             
   <AtmaWepon> Grimm, it's gay, and there's a virus in it.  But aside from   
               that, no biggie.                                              
                                                                             
   <Grimm> I used it, there's no virus.  It works fine.  I scanned it and    
           there is no virus.  Actually, I am the one who released it.       
                                                                             
   *** Grimm is now known as Trite                                           
                                                                             
   <Trite> The only reason why people read RCN is because of Xenon's         
           coding.  Xenon is the only thing holding RCN together.  Maybe     
           now RCN will get a clue that you guys shouldn't make fun of       
           people in your pathetic Mad-RCN.                                  
                                                                             
   <AtmaWepon> Trite, so, you copied the RCN compiler and you think you're   
               like leet or something.  Again, so what, so now a bunch of    
               lamers can get RCN going.  Oh boo, its nice to know that the  
               RCN compiler you released is the old version that was used    
               only until issue 13.  It's not the RCN source code.  I don't  
               see why you fail to understand that it's the RCN compiler,    
               not the source code.                                          
                                                                             
   <Trite> RCN is the lamest muck-raking pile of collective bullshit I've    
           ever seen.                                                        
                                                                             
   <AtmaWepon> Then stop reading it.  Trite, how hard can it be?  If you     
               don't like it, don't read it.  Nobody is asking you to.  Get  
               a fucking life.                                               
                                                                             
   <Trite> The point being, I never did anything to provoke such an attack   
           to RCN, nor did my friends.  So I did something about it and I    
           released the old source code.  If RCN continues, I will get the   
           new source code and release that too.  This is your warning.      
                                                                             
   <AtmaWepon> Anyhow, I doubt you'll see the RCN compiler again.  After     
               this, we'll make it secret as hell.  No one but Xenon         
               himself will ever see it.                                     
                                                                             
   <Trite> I will keep releasing your RCN source code if RCN doesn't stop    
           its Mad-RCN where it pokes fun of other people.  Heh... this is   
           funny, you don't even realize how I got it.

   How Did Trite Get the RCN Compiler?                                       
   -----------------------------------                                       
                                                                             
       Only Xenon, Hitex, and I were supposed to have been given access to   
   copies of the RCN compiler.  However, near the demise of the first RCN    
   at issue 13, Road Rebel was made an editor of RCN and was thus given a    
   copy of the RCN compiler to continue RCN's legacy.  Road Rebel then       
   asked Entropy to help run RCN with him because they were good friends at  
   the time.  Since Entropy would also be considered an editor, he too       
   received a copy of the RCN compiler from Road Rebel.  However, a few      
   weeks later, Entropy uh.. "broke up" with Road Rebel, and their           
   relationship has failed since.  After their break up, Entropy has never   
   stopped harrassing Road Rebel.  As far as I am aware, Entropy continues   
   to harrass Road Rebel daily by doing immature IRC acts to Road Rebel      
   here and there.                                                           
                                                                             
       In these last couple weeks, to stand up for Road Rebel against        
   Entropy's immature acts, I too it upon myself to make fun of Entropy by   
   having Mad-RCN utter the words in my chipmunked voice (through Sound      
   Blaster), "Entropy is a fag."  I called Entropy a fag because in many     
   ways, he is a fag.  However, at present, he doesn't seem to be able to    
   leave me alone either, and he constantly messages me on IRC, "Hi Rebel    
   Chicken, you're my hero!"  I shutter to think of what Entropy messages    
   to Road Rebel.  Road Rebel is too ashamed to mention them to me.          
                                                                             
       Anyhow, it also happens to be that Trite and Entropy live in the      
   same area code, and they are good friends in real life.  So Entropy dug   
   up the RCN compiler from months ago, and gave it to his friend Trite,     
   who also happens to be a half decent coder.  Now, from this point on, I   
   can only speculate that Entropy asked Trite to use the RCN compiler to    
   make a fake RCN issue.  After all, Trite and Entropy here have access to  
   a very secretive RCN compiler which they could use to make a very         
   realistic looking RCN issue.  However, since Trite could not figure out   
   how to use the RCN compiler, and it was of no use to either of them       
   anymore, Trite simply trojaned/virused the RCN compiler and released it   
   to the masses in an attempt to hurt RCN.                                  
                                                                             
       Needless to say, neither Trite nor Entropy will ever see the likes    
   of the updated RCN compilers.  As a precaution, I then asked Hitex to     
   give Entropy a phone call, and Hitex has taken care of everything since   
   then.  And as a further precaution, I'll be snail mailing Entropy a       
   little letter.  The content of the letter is of no relevance to anyone    
   but Trite and Entropy.  However, if I do think my letter is funny, it'll  
   find a spot in future publications the secret Mad-RCN.                    
                                                                             
       In some ways, Trite and Entropy has taught RCN how to keep certain    
   securities in a dimmer light, and thanks be to them.  However, Hitex and  
   I have been comtemplating on releasing a public version of an older RCN   
   compiler, and if we decide to do so, it'll of course, be a RCN compiler   
   that is non trojaned/virused and should also contain interactive          
   features that are an improvement on the one that is currently available.  
   The current RCN compiler used is 1.2 megabytes zipped, and the            
   trojaned/virused version released by Trite is approximately 128 kbs       
   zipped.

       The following is a log file of channel #Prestige between TRC (The     
   Renegade Chemist), a leader of Prestige, and Druidkin, a leader of Razor  
   1911.  TRC claims that Razor's death is eminent and coming shortly.  Is   
   this just a petty argument between two rival groups or has TRC been       
   smoking too much weed?  I think it's the later, but don't just trust my   
   judgement, check out TRC's fucked up logic for yourself.

   <TRC> The fact remains that Razor is about to lose to Prestige for the    
         3rd month in a row by a huge margin, and I think it's pretty damn   
         funny.                                                              
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> What about that shit Bicycle card game release?  That was a    
              shit release by Budget Masters.                                
                                                                             
   <TRC> Razor has had some good releases this month.  It's doing better     
         than the previous 2 months for sure, but still, Razor loses again   
         to Prestige.                                                        
                                                                             
   <MadTurnip> Shit, I hope I'm not missing an argument here.                
                                                                             
   <TRC> That "shit Bicycle card game" is a lot better than Operation        
         Carnage or some of the other CRAP Razor has been putting out.       
         Prestige will be glad to keep putting out quality releases and      
         we'll continue to beat Razor asses into the floor.

   <TRC> When you have something to brag about, you can come back and        
         attempt to attack our position.  At this point in time, you got     
         NOTHING.

   <TRC> Yes, little punk!  Which is exactly what you are, a do-nothing,     
         TSR (The Speed Racer) ass-kissing little punk.  You used to just    
         hang out in channel #Razor, but I guess now that everyone else is   
         hanging out in channel #Prestige, you had to venture into the dark  
         unknown.                                                            
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> I'll stand on my merits old man.  I came to talk but I can     
              see that you are too lame as usual.                            
                                                                             
   <TRC> Merits?  What merits?  I wasn't aware that you had any.  I didn't   
         think you were capable of intelligent conversation.  Sure thing     
         buddy, the flavor of the month is Prestige, and last time I         
         checked, we are steam rolling Razor's ass.                          
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> People care about quality, not quantity.                       
                                                                             
   <TRC> Sure thing buddy, that wasn't your mantra last month, so I'm        
         fairly certain that the only reason you haven't put out a little    
         more variety this month is a result of your inability to beat us    
         to even the small titles.  The only games you guys win on are the   
         ones you get early and that's pretty sad.  We've slammed the door   
         on Razor EVERYWHERE else.                                           
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Sorry TRC, but Razor has standards.                            
                                                                             
   <TRC> Razor will release anything it can get its sorry hands on.          
         Unfortunately, it can't get its hands on much.                      
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> Stick with your budget releases.  People want quality, and     
              for that, they come to Razor.                                  
                                                                             
   <TRC> Sure, we'll stick with our budget, and if people want quality they  
         can grab the Prestige release of Links LS.                          
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> You've got more ego, I'll agree with that.                     
                                                                             
   <TRC> Believe whatever you like, Prestige has got more experience         
         dumbass.  Razor's a rookie group.                                   
                                                                             
   <Druidkin> You have more experience being a dumbass?                      
                                                                             
   <Tok> TRC, do you think Razor is dead?                                    
                                                                             
   <TRC> Druidkin, I feel the need to point out to you that I don't give a   
         rat's ass what ANYONE thinks about me in the scene.  I am only in   
         the scene to win, and I will do so.  Razor's not dead yet, but it   
         will be by the end of the year.

       TRC claims the Links LS golf game as one of Prestige's quality        
   releases.  For information on that release, refer to RCN #23 and you      
   will notice that Links LS was anything but quality.  It was badly ripped  
   and if TRC has to fall back on a badly ripped Prestige release, then it   
   must mean that Prestige does not have much to fall on these days.         
                                                                             
       On the note of Razor, TRC claims that Razor is a rookie group, I      
   don't know what kind of crack he's smoking, but last time I checked,      
   Razor is a hell of a lot more established than Prestige.  Razor has been  
   around long before Prestige got its first P, and that's a fact he cannot  
   argue.  Where does he come up with this stuff?  He must have been         
   seriously baked.                                                          
                                                                             
       On the note of quality, I must agree with Druidkin, people care       
   about quality, not quantity.  I can name numerous 40+ disk Prestige       
   releases that have turned out to be a waste of time because they were     
   either freeware crap, or they were releases that were not properly        
   packaged and thus, was not in a working condition.  Razor is far          
   perfect, and I can numerous fuckups by Razor as well, but when comparing  
   cdrips by Razor and cdrips by Prestige, it goes hands down that Razor is  
   much more experienced and careful with their releases.  TRC needs to      
   review his own group before he starts passing judgements on how his       
   group is so much this and that better than this and that.                 
                                                                             
       However, TRC does not stop there, he goes even farther by claiming    
   that Razor will disband by the end of the year.  Let's see, at present,   
   it's August of 1996 and Razor has been around since uh... October of      
   1984.  Let's see now, who here thinks Razor will last a few more months   
   hey?  Don't raise your hand, that was a rhetorical question.  Anyhow,     
   who knows, maybe TRC meant to say that Prestige will disband by the end   
   of the year.  After all, if you look at TRC's track record, nearly every  
   games group he's been a part of in the last 2 years did very well for a   
   few months and then went on a fuck up rampage shortly after he joined     
   (i.e. Eclipse, Dynamix, Hybrid, etc.).

       Since there seems to be a large interest in the newly merged group    
   Core, I would like to tell you some things about Core, opinions in Core,  
   and future plans from 3 members of Core.  There will also be a fourth     
   member, me, since I am also in Core, I will add my opinions where I feel  
   necesarry.                                                                
                                                                             
   The Beginning                                                             
   -------------                                                             
                                                                             
       Core started off as a merger between the two courier groups Total     
   Kaos and Violation.  Core still has two presidents, Edge and Stank-e.     
   Edge will explain the merger for us :                                     
                                                                             
   <DaPhreak> What excactly caused the merger between Total Kaos and         
              Violation?                                                     
                                                                             
   <Edge> Well, we had similar members and we did the same shit, so I        
          thought it'd be best if the two groups worked together.            
                                                                             
       A rather straight foward explanation, but it is the reason.  Core     
   has been around for about 2 or 3 months now, and Core is making some      
   waves in the hypothetical trading pool of the scene.  The IRC Team        
   concept, thought up by Edge and Stank-e has been a massive help to        
   channel #Phatfiles which is an offering channel for tons of other small   
   courier groups.  Core also has very high expectations of their new        
   members.                                                                  
                                                                             
   <Dallion> We keep up the tight screening process for new memebers so we   
             can't just let everyone into the group.  Applicants must first  
             prove themselves capable of being a part of Core.  This method  
             has helped keep out all the 10 year old kids who just want to   
             leech.                                                          
                                                                             
       Core has moved up to the ranks of the other top courier groups.       
   Core's top FTP courier SaltyDogg, has been consistently moving more and   
   more megs each week.  He is averaging 500 megs per week, and is moving    
   more and more each week.  This isn't behind the standards set by some of  
   the other groups, and will get Core at the top of the heap in a short     
   time.                                                                     
                                                                             
   <DaPhreak> What, in your opinion, should be done in Core in order to      
              make it one of the top courier groups?                         
                                                                             
   <SaltyDogg> I think Core needs to focus on moving warez and getting its   
               name out in the scene more.                                   
                                                                             
   <DaPhreak> What are your opinions of the scene that Core has to reach?    
                                                                             
   <SaltyDogg> I think that the scene has too many ego problems.  Everyone   
               thinks that they are the best courier or that they are in     
               the best group.  I believe that people like that should       
               concentrate more on moving warez and releasing quality        
               warez.                                                        
                                                                             
       I myself think that people in the scene do have ego problems.         
   Nobody likes to see these petty arguments such as, "We are better, your   
   group is nothing but full of lamers!"  But I mean, RCN points out when a  
   group outright messes up at something, and that's acceptable, but I       
   don't think that the people writing letters to RCN should use their       
   letters as an instigator for some of these fights.  RCN is here to        
   congratulate the people who are working hard and to point out the things  
   that people do wrong.  I feel that this article should be informative to  
   those who have not yet heard of Core, and it should also be informative   
   to those who are set out on starting their own courier group.  This       
   above was not just 3 short interviews, but rather, it was a collection    
   of quotes from interviews which I employed.  The rest of the article is   
   going to be written using the information I gained from the intervews.    
                                                                             
       Core is one of the few young courier groups out there that is         
   showing potential in its ability to stay alive.  Core won't just          
   disappear from the scene in a few weeks, it's here, and it's here to      
   stay.  Core's IRC Team concept will revolutionize the way the average     
   downloader will receive his or her warez.  The planned 24/7 bots, 5 to    
   10 bots on each team, focusing on separate categories (i.e. 0 day,        
   games/utils) offering in channel #Phatfiles will definitely help Core     
   change the way the end users get warez.                                   
                                                                             
       Core is made up of a team of dedicated couriers, not a group made up  
   of inactive members or leechers that don't play a "team game."  Core has  
   an intricate working team, yes a team.  Everyone has a job, and they do   
   that job.  If someone doesn't perform up to par, a new person will get a  
   chance to do that job.  Core has a lot of IRC couriers, I know that       
   because I am one of them.  But, IRC is where you are at.  This is what    
   you guys want, and Core stands behind it.  Core stands behind the whole   
   concept of mass couriering.  Distribution.

     Subject : My Experience with Abe Ingersoll

       First off, I won't incriminate myself in this article (I take the     
   5th!), but I will explain my little experience with almost being busted.  
                                                                             
       In November of last year, I, along with a couple friends were         
   implicated by a 15 year old fuck by the name of Abe Ingersoll in Peoria,  
   Illinois.  He goes by a few handles on IRC, namely ^abe^, possibly        
   ^pest^ (his alias is pestilence, and no, not anyone in the scene that we  
   all know of).  His host almost always includes "*!*ingers*."  If you      
   know him, ban/kick/kill him (literally) or something.                     
                                                                             
       Anyway, he was caught basically red-handed with numerous credit card  
   receipts, carded merchandise, and t-philez about carding and shit.        
   Well, in order to save his own little ass, we were implicated.  With us   
   being local and all, and the cops freaking out about all the shit they    
   found (mainly all the t-philez), me and a friend suddenly found           
   ourselves called to the cop shop for "our version" of the story.          
   Luckily, we knew what was happening and talked beforehand in great        
   detail about everything (minus the 15 year old fuck).  I was straight     
   with the cop when I told him that I'd been through the whole "gestapo     
   interrogation" before, and to skip it.  I really wasn't in the mood for   
   a pig to be yelling in my face that day.  In turn, he told me that I      
   would not be placed under arrest today (bah, yeah right, like I haven't   
   been told that before or nothing), and gave me a smoke.  :)               
                                                                             
       Ok, I thought, he's going to go the "I'm your friend" route with me.  
   Mr. Pig talked in detail about how he had already talked with the FBI,    
   but the Secret Service were the ones who liked to handle computer         
   crimes, and they were debating whether to pick up the investigation.      
   The cops had information that could've only been gained through Abe or a  
   phone tap.  Anyway, to make a long story short, I talked with the cop,    
   and my friend got the "gestapo" route (sucked to be him).  Another        
   interesting note is that my friend talked to the cops first.  The cop     
   actually told him that *I* had already told him (the cop) all about how   
   he (my friend) was the guilty party BEFORE I even talked to the cops!     
   My friend knew better through our constant communication, kept his cool,  
   and stuck to our story.                                                   
                                                                             
       The cop was right though, I wasn't arrested, in fact, no one but the  
   15 year old was.  Nothing about warez ever entered the picture.           
   However, I do suspect that my phone along with my friend's phone was      
   tapped at one point in time, and my friend actually did have a white van  
   with green-G plates tail him for a few days.  From what I understand,     
   the 15 year old has already been through the court thing, and got         
   probation or something, because I just saw him on IRC the other day.      
                                                                             
       Now, all the time this kid was carding, he kept saying, "Oh, I'm      
   only 15, the worst they can do to me is put me in juvie until I'm 18."    
   I explained to him several times that I was already on Intense Probation  
   for felony convictions, and that if I was arrested, I'd go to the joint   
   for several years, and he would be dead once I got out.  Unfortunately,   
   that didn't stop him from rolling over on me for one second.  So, to put  
   it all in perspective :                                                   
                                                                             
       1.) If you're of legal age, NEVER trust a minor.  NEVER NEVER NEVER!  
                                                                             
       2.) If you're already on probation, stick to warez, much safer.       
                                                                             
       3.) NEVER talk on the phone about anything illegal if there's even a  
           remote reason to suspect your line is tapped, better safe than    
           sorry!                                                            
                                                                             
       4.) I might be mistaken, but I believe that FedEx is still            
           considered a private company.  Meaning that if you use them to    
           ship your carded stuff, you can't be busted for mail fraud as     
           well if/when you do get busted.                                   
                                                                             
       5.) If you are called in for questioning, keep your wits about you,   
           and remember that cops will *LIE* to manipulate you into          
           thinking exactly what they want you to think.  Stick to your      
           story, or call a lawyer.                                          
                                                                             
       6.) One more thing, if the FBI/Secret Service is called in, you are   
           basically FUCKED.  They have the power to really do anything

       The above was the nfo provided in the CCA release of Win NT v4.0      
   Workstation.  The supplier, Airman, decided to release Win NT because     
   all the releases out to date where pathetic too say the least (i.e. no    
   drivers or you can't install from previous NT).  So he decided to grab a  
   copy of NT from the University.  He (by himself) ripped it off the CD     
   and packaged it around 2:00 am last night.  The 47 disk release was       
   quickly spread and he went to bed thinking it was quite a success.  At    
   this time, I too went to sleep as well not thinking much of it, but I     
   was shocked when I came onto IRC the next day.                            
                                                                             
       It seems that Microsoft (within a few hours of the relesae) got       
   ahold of a copy of this release.  Living up to Microsoft's reputation,    
   Microsoft emailed someone at the University requesting more information   
   on the supplier.  This email had the file_id.diz attatched to it to show  
   proof of the grounds of their claims.  I haven't seen this email, but I   
   was assured that it was LEGIT.  The folks at the University now had to    
   uncover what exactly happened (not knowing who or what Airman is).  I     
   was told that they are working on finding out who he is, and that they    
   are also complying with Microsoft's requests for more information on him  
   to their best efforts.  No one has seen Airman since last night, and the  
   outcome of this towards him has yet to be finalized.                      
                                                                             
       Airman is most likely a free man now, and hopefully, he will stay     
   that way throughout this Microsoft investigation.  Microsoft seems to     
   want to bust this guy who never released anything before, instead of      
   going after higher end "law-breakers."  This is quite a shame (Hi         
   Microsoft, I know you're reading this!) for this was not a very           
   offensive crime.                                                          
                                                                             
       To my knowledge, NO one knows exactly who he is besides seeing him    
   on IRC.  This includes personel at the University in question.  And no    
   further word, again, to my knowledge, has been sent from Microsoft.  All  
   I can say is that people should beware... Microsoft is fast and furious   
   about this.

       This article is strictly the opinion of one person based upon my      
   experiences both as a BBS sysop and a long-time resident of the           
   Internet.  Before you lock-and-load your industrial strength flame        
   thrower, keep in mind that I'm wearing my asbestos boxer shorts.          
                                                                             
       Not that many years ago, 95% of us had two ways of trading our        
   favorite warez goodies.  Most of our ill-gotten booty came from a small   
   cadre of friends and aquaintances during coffee-break trading sessions    
   or at the weekly AD&D game.  We could also get the occasional ware from   
   our local, semi-legitimate BBSes.  If we were really lucky, we had a      
   friend-of-a-friend that knew somebody that got us an account on a pirate  
   board where we could leech to our heart's content until we had either     
   maxxed out our 270 meg hard drive or sucked up everything they had to     
   offer.  I didn't know anyone with access to the really BIG boards, but I  
   was aware of their existance.                                             
                                                                             
       The Internet back in those days was the playground of academia, the   
   government and a fortunate few who's companies used the Internet for      
   transferring files between distant sites.  At that time, gopher was       
   about as sophisticated as it got.  FTP was quite popular, but if there    
   was a warez scene back then, it was well-hidden and not well organized.   
   Since few PC owners had access, most of the interest was in UNIX          
   programs and utilities.                                                   
                                                                             
       Those were the glory days of the BBS scene.  The big boards were the  
   lifeblood of distribution then, and anything worth leeching was in that   
   channel.  Files were relatively small and you could download even the     
   best stuff in a single evening at 2400 bps.                               
                                                                             
       Those days are gone.                                                  
                                                                             
       We stand now at the threshold, the nexus between two realities.  The  
   big boards are still popular and important to the scene, but the          
   emphasis is slowly shifting away from them and toward the free-wheeling   
   world of the Internet.  The days of the iron fisted control, exclusive    
   access and long distance calling are over.  We have tasted the wild west  
   flavor of the Internet, we've enjoyed its anonymity, and we will not go   
   back.                                                                     
                                                                             
       Many of you will object to this line of reasoning, some vehemently,   
   but consider this, with each day that goes by, more people gain access    
   the Internet and few ever log on to their local BBSes.  This trend shows  
   no sign of weakening and for good reason.  With an Internet account, Joe  
   Public can access everything on the Internet, no exceptions.  Exposure    
   to illicit software is almost guaranteed for anyone who spends any        
   serious time online.                                                      
                                                                             
       Even the bastions of the BBS piracy scene have begrudgingly accepted  
   the Internet as a necessary evil, allowing people to log on through       
   telnet and using fast FTP sites as vehicles for mass storage and          
   transfer.  As more and more users use telnet to access their favorite     
   BBSes, modem banks will slowly come down while ISDN lines go up.  But     
   more importantly, fewer users will choose to live within the constraints  
   of the formal BBS, even by telnet.  More will choose to get their daily   
   fix from anonymous FTP sites and DCC offer-bots because anyone can        
   access them.                                                              
                                                                             
       That said, here are my prognostications, for what they're worth.      
   Five years from today, this will be the state of the scene :              
                                                                             
       1.) BBSes will have faded from significance.  The number of 10+ node  
           BBSes will be less than half of what we have now.  First release  
           status will no longer be determined on BBSes.                     
                                                                             
       2.) The line between releasers and couriers will become much less     
           distinct as powerful software will allow releasers to instantly   
           distribute their warez to multiple sites concurrently.  Couriers  
           will be relegated to the role of distributing to smaller,         
           temporary, anonymous sites and DCC offerbots (or something more   
           sophisticated).  That doesn't mean that they will be any less     
           important to the scene, just further down the food chain.         
                                                                             
       3.) The 'rules' as we know them today will be just a fond memory.     
           The number of short-lived groups will grow exponentially, as      
           will their lack of respect for rules concerning dupes.  Although  
           uncracked or poorly cracked warez will be far more common, there  
           will always be a number of competing distributions, some of       
           which are bound to work.                                          
                                                                             
       4.) High-speed connections, rewritable CD-ROMs and more advanced      
           high-capacity storage mechanisms will keep up with                
           ever-increasing game and application sizes.  The escalation of    
           the copy-protection wars will have continued, making crackers     
           any group's most-valuable resource.                               
                                                                             
       The basis of my predictions is my core philosophy - the purpose of    
   the scene is to make usable software available to the end user.           
   Anything that inhibits or runs counter to this reality is doomed to

   The following is a letter by Prophet, leader of Napalm :                  
                                                                             
       Hey!  I've really bad news for everyone!  I've decided to kill        
   NAPALM.  As of now, it has been announced already.  Sorry guys, but I     
   FUCKING LOVED NAPALM AND LOVED working with EVERYONE!!  I'm so sorry for  
   this to happen.                                                           
                                                                             
                                                Signed,                      
                                                   Prophet                   
                                                                             
       It always saddens me to see a great group go down.  In Napalm's case  
   especially since I was a part of it.  There will alway be those people    
   that will try and tarnish the Napalm name saying that Napalm released     
   non-working games and other bullshit.  The fact remains that Napalm was   
   one of the best games release groups of its day.  And I'll be damned if   
   I see another channel #Exceed lamer shoot off his mouth about something   
   so much eliter than he could ever be.  I have a great deal of respect     
   for Prophet and what he has set out to build.                             
                                                                             
       Napalm was a good games group, and there is no debate to that.  In    
   closing, I'd like to say that the scene suffers when a great group like   
   Napalm goes down, and when Napalm went down, it took a little of the      
   scene with it.  To Napalm!

   <RblChickn> Damn, I just heard that Napalm disbanded.  That sucks.        
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> Yeah, I really liked Napalm too.                              
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> Really?                                                       
                                                                             
   <RoadRebel> Yeah, downloading Napalm releases was like playing Russian    
               Roulette.                                                     
                                                                             
   <RblChickn> Oh well... to Napalm!

       As a founder of RTG (Rampant Trading Guild) and a head in the         
   courier group Guild, I am writing this to let the scene know what we are  
   all about.  The major goal of Guild is to help reform the warez scene,    
   through excellence.  Our philosophy is very simple, we want to see the    
   warez scene as a whole become better.  So how does Guild plan to do       
   this?  The Guild has been formed with only the most dedicated couriers,   
   skilled staff, and the best leadership around.  With that, we plan to     
   create the highest level of warez trade ever!                             
                                                                             
       As we raise the playing field for couriering, the groups trying to    
   catch up to Guilds' standards will also improve.  Resulting from this,    
   the most efficient warez trade since the first pirated software title     
   was released will be ushured.  If you are interested in joining the       
   Guild team, join IRC Channel #Guild and pick up an app and nfo.  Only     
   the best need apply.

       There are just so many new groups popping up these days.  Many of     
   them being those "One Hit Wonders" type groups, and the other odd ones    
   being the groups who make an impact on the scene.                         
                                                                             
       I obtained an old release by the ever-famous game releasing group     
   "TDU-JAM!"  This release was Destruction Derby.  As I read the group's    
   nfo file, I just kept thinking to myself, why did this great group have   
   to leave the scene?  Their nfo was always good and to the point.  Never   
   any of that childish bullshit that would start a war between groups, and  
   yet, their releases ALWAYS worked.  I don't think I ever got a copy of a  
   TDU-JAM! release that didn't work.                                        
                                                                             
       Nowadays, we have groups which pop into the scene who come out with   
   like 50 disk releases which turn out to be DEMOS or just some plain       
   bullshit which nobody wants or needs.  And half the time, these releases  
   do not work due to inproper ripping, cracking, or even just without       
   supplying enough information on how to get the release to work.           
                                                                             
       There are some groups (very little) which do release quality          
   releases, and do get the respect they deserve.  But there will always be  
   the occasional 'bad' release, or dupe, which will cause a big scene in    
   the scene (no pun intended).                                              
                                                                             
       The only thing we need is for those who know how to do the job to do  
   it, and for those who want to do it, to learn how to do it properly.      
   Otherwise, don't even try.  I'm not trying to sound like a bastard or     
   anything, but it's not worth our time and effort to download something    
   that will not work (especially when it's 50+ disks big).  And it does     
   hurt the scene.

       I just have to let something off my chest.  I know this will          
   probably fuck up my whole reputation in the warez scene, but I don't      
   really care.  All that shit ain't that important to me.  So far, I've     
   been in a few groups throughout my warez stage (Hostile, Quantus,         
   Legion, Logistix, Empire, whatever) and I just wanted to tell you that    
   so far, I have only met one great leader that I think deserved respect    
   while he was around, and that is Rapid Motion.                            
                                                                             
       Then, there are some of you guys that were just plain dickheads       
   (Marbz, Acidplain).  For some reason, you fucking dickheads thought that  
   you deserved a certain respect for yourself from other people in your     
   groups.  Well, in my opinion you can go fuck yourself, I've seen plenty   
   of you bastards talk shit to people and expect them to sit there and      
   take it, some of them do.  But I never took anything from anyone at       
   anytime.  I was too proud of myself to let you leaders sit there and try  
   and put me down.  So eventually, I told you off and made you "Shut the    
   fuck up!"                                                                 
                                                                             
       In Acidplain's case (while he was a leader in Legion) I told him off  
   and then decided to drop the group because I didn't want to stick around  
   and put up with his ass.  Eventually, Acidplain got kicked out of Legion  
   (thanks to RCN) because he "sucked!"  Here's where the strange powertrip  
   shit comes in; in Marbz's case, I knew him when I was in Hostile and he   
   was a cool guy.  He started Empire and asked me to join.  I said no       
   thanks to his offer because I had a lot of shit to do at home and at      
   school then.  As time went by, Empire became a really good group, then    
   Marbz starts changing and talking loud shit, telling people to shut the   
   fuck up and such, like everyone there is supposed to bow down to him      
   like he's king or something.  So from that point on I saw him as a dick   
   and he still is a fucking dick.                                           
                                                                             
       Here's an example of people giving bitchmade leaders the respect      
   that they think they so deserve.  A while back, Marbz left for Germany    
   or something and left Blackened in charge of Empire.  Blackened let me    
   in Empire because I deserved it (BBS Courier 300 megs plus+); Blackened   
   was a cool guy.                                                           
                                                                             
       Then 2 weeks later, Marbz comes back and tells Blackened, "What?      
   You think that just because I left for a while you can fucking take over  
   Empire?"                                                                  
                                                                             
       Blackened replies, "No, I'm sorry, I was just doing my job.  I        
   wouldn't in any way try to take over Empire."                             
                                                                             
       The kiss ass went blah blah blah it went on and on.  I even told      
   Blackened not to kiss his ass like that.  He told me him and Marbz were   
   good friends.  But would a good friend really say that to you?            
                                                                             
       Another example of a little bitch is Twiztah (whatta little fag).     
   When I got in Empire, he was a really cool person.  Then, that same day   
   Marbz came back and bitched at Blackened, Marbz also told Twiztah to      
   "Shut the fuck up."  Twiztah didn't say anything after that and took it   
   like he had no pride for himself.  Then Twiztah started this group QUA    
   (Quarz or Quartz something).  We were still cool and he let me in the     
   group as a BBS courier.  Then I told him not to turn into a dicknosed     
   leader and let the power get to his head like a lot of other leaders      
   did.                                                                      
                                                                             
       Later on, Twiztah and I started talking about Marbz and for some      
   reason, he asked me not to talk talk shit about Marbz like that.  I told  
   him that it was just my opinion.  Blackened heard this WHOLE              
   conversation because he was on the #Quarz bot.  So he tells me not to     
   say shit behind a person's back.  If Marbz was in the channel, I would    
   have said the same shit regardless.  So now they are backing up Marbz     
   even after Marbz gets hella smart with both of them.                      
                                                                             
       I told them I could say what I wanted to, after all, it was my        
   opinion and I am entitled to it.  Twiztah kicked me out of QUA and        
   banned me too because I guess what I was saying was hurting their         
   feelings (little girls).  So I asked Twiztah if he thought Marbz          
   deserved a certain respect just because he was leader of Empire.  He      
   said, "Yes."                                                              
                                                                             
       So we talked a little more and he ended up being a little 2 faced     
   bitch.  Anyway, what I want to say is :                                   
                                                                             
       1.) Just because the person is a leader of the group you're in        
           doesn't give him the right to talk loud shit to you.  If you had  
           any pride, you'd tell that nigga off!                             
                                                                             
       2.) If you don't want to talk back to the leader of your group, then  
           that shows that warez are more important to you than your pride.  
           And if that's true, you're a little sell out with no life.  It    
           also shows the leader that he can do that shit again and again,   
           and he won't hesitate to do it either.                            
                                                                             
       3.) Only treat people with the respect that they treat you with.      
           Remember, they aren't your parents!                               
                                                                             
       4.) Stay true to your real friends and don't ever fuck them over.     
                                                                             
       Thanks for paying attention and try to remember this.  Even if it's   
   not that clear, try to understand where I'm coming from.

     Subject : The Oracle

       In ancient times, there was a thing called the Oracle, which was      
   supposed to do wonderous things like healing the sick, blessing people    
   with luck and predicting the future.  Today, a computer company named     
   "Oracle" decided to predict the future itself.  Oracle is now developing  
   a thing called a Web Box, which is a $500 TV-top add-on which connects    
   to the Internet through cable or some other high-speed link.  The price   
   is so low, because this unit will use the TV for a monitor, and have no   
   hard disk at all.                                                         
                                                                             
       Oracle sees this "appliance," as they like to call it, as the future  
   of computers, and the one thing that will bring computers and             
   couch-potatoes together.  Many skeptics foresee various futures for this  
   enterprise.  A few say that the computer evolution will never allow       
   itself to go back to the mainframe - a dumb terminal combination that     
   was replaced once in the past.  Others predict that this is the end of    
   PCs as we know it, and still more hope that both types of machines will   
   peacefully coexist with the Boxes in the living room for entertainment,   
   and the PCs in the den for real work.  I, personally, would like to       
   belive the later version because the switch to Boxes could prove fatal    
   to the scene.                                                             
                                                                             
       How would software companies sell their products to their "Boxed"     
   customers?  Obviously on the server-client basis - meaning that the       
   actual program will reside on the company's web server, and the client    
   would purchase the right to use it from a particular box, or with a       
   particular login name/password.  The development of such an arrangement   
   is most profitable for the software companies because they WILL get paid  
   for EVERY "copy" of their program used, and of course save lots of money  
   on packaging and distribution.  But to the scene this would mean a        
   certain, and quick death.  Since there's no way to use the program on a   
   box unless you sign up with the company, there will be no possible way    
   to use anything without paying for it!                                    
                                                                             
       What is that I hear you screaming?  Carding?  You forget that every   
   box has a serial number, and as cable now, they would know the exact      
   location of any cable jack you're currently using which will make         
   carding an extremely unsafe game to play.  But that's the dark side.  It  
   would be hard indeed for "The Box" to actually replace computers, but     
   rather I believe, in the best case it will create a new market separate   
   from the PC just like the Atari and Nintendo once did.  So have no fear,  
   the scene days aren't numbered, yet...

     Subject : The Name Game

       It is sort of funny the names we put on people.  More specifically,   
   the lack of names.  In the trading scene, we label people either "elite"  
   or "lame."  Both of these titles are over used and ambiguous.  Every      
   trader has at one time or another used these words to label someone.      
   The fast traders use them, and ironically, the slow traders (who the      
   fast traders call lame) also use both of these words.  But what do these  
   words mean, if they mean anything anymore, and should they be used at     
   all?                                                                      
                                                                             
       What does the word "elite" mean anyway.  It can't describe someone    
   who gets fast files.  When I was starting out, I called people that       
   could get 1 month stuff "elite."  Now people that I know call people      
   that get 0 day files "elite."  However, on IRC, anyone can join a         
   "warez" channel and pick up fast files.  Does that makes you "elite?"     
   The word "elite" might describe a person who has in depth knowledge of    
   the trading scene.  But you can become knowledgeable about the scene      
   with out ever trading a file (just read RCN).                             
                                                                             
       "Elite" is a word that conveys respect.  It, however, is used too     
   often.  Everyone is respected in the scene by someone else, all for       
   different reasons.  One word is not adequate to describe the meanings of  
   which people associate with the word "elite."  It is an outdated word.    
   A word that should have been left behind with the 2400 and 14400 modems.  
   A simple word for simple times.                                           
                                                                             
       The same holds true for the word "lame."  What makes someone "lame?"  
   Are you "lame" if you can get fast files, or only if you can't get fast   
   files but try to trade with people higher up in the scene than you.  Is   
   speed the only factor in determining if a person is "lame" or not?  If    
   this is so, then people that label people who get slower files "lame"     
   are assholes.  We all (most of us), worked our way up the scene ladder,   
   so we all were "lame" at one point in time.  We should then help out the  
   people in the position that we were once in.  BUT "lame" is NOT just      
   used to describe a person lower in the scene hierarchy.  It has been      
   used to describe arrogant group leaders, whole groups even, people who    
   look down on others, and so on.  So when in hell's name should someone    
   be labeled "lame?"  In my opinion NEVER.  The word "lame" is again too    
   broad, it means too much, and is used too often. It is a word that has    
   no place in the scene of today.                                           
                                                                             
       New labels must be created, labels that are more specific and         
   meaningful.  We need labels that will make a person proud when called it  
   by others or words that put an asshole in his place.  "Lame" and "elite"  
   don't mean anything anymore.  It is time for a new set of lingo to grow   
   and take its place.                                                       
                                                                             
       In the real world, word change evolve with the culture that uses      
   them over long periods of time.  "Cyberspace" changes much faster than    
   any culture, but its lingo does not.  Only an effort on the part of us    
   (trader/and others), will correct the annoying problem of outdated        
   lingo.

       Hi guys!  I'm back, so I decided to start off with an article on      
   software piracy and the pirate scene, and how the two of those combined   
   effect everything else that goes on around us on the Internet.            
                                                                             
       Since the FBI has outlawed the previewing of software, it has become  
   more and more difficult to find ways to get a warez BBS to stay up        
   without arousing suspiscion (especially from the feds).  This article     
   will discuss how to (almost) fed-proof your site, BBS, whatever as well.  
                                                                             
       We all know that the entrapment law forces any law enforcement or     
   federal agency members to declare that they are indeed members of         
   whatever agency they are affiliated with.  This means that if a site or   
   BBS that a federal agent or law enforcer of any sort is applying for      
   asks him/her if they are one of those, they MUST say yes or do whatever   
   it requires them to do.  This is of course within reason, the BBS/Site    
   can't really make the person jump up and down, light his/her hair on      
   fire and run through the street yelling, "I'm a gerbil!  Don't eat my     
   pickles!!!"  Such maybe reasonable would be to ask a Fed to hang up, or   
   whatever.                                                                 
                                                                             
       There are other things in the disclaimer you should put, such as      
   that you take no responsibility for what the users do with the files      
   they download from your BBS/site, and many other things.  Use your        
   creative imaginations!                                                    
                                                                             
       Another especially good way to protect your site or BBS from          
   unwanted guests is to force them to upload something before allowing      
   them access.  If the new user knows what kind of BBS/site this is, he     
   will obviously send something pirated.  If the federal agent or law       
   enforcer sends something pirated, he cannot bust you, since he is in      
   violation of his own laws, and then he's pretty much fucked anyway.  If   
   the person uploads something that is maybe public domain or shareware,    
   just kick them off.  They probably wouldn't be any use to you anyway.     
   Even in the event that somebody uploads something pirated to your         
   BBS/site and you don't normally allow pirated software to be uploaded to  
   your BBS/site, the law grants you 24 hours to check and delete it, since  
   a sysop cannot be up at all hours of the day making sure that pirated     
   software isn't being uploaded.                                            
                                                                             
       Now, onto the part about piracy's effects to the world.  Piracy       
   effects the world, or more aptly termed Internet, but some people         
   consider it another world so I guess either is fine, in many ways, both   
   good and bad.  It effects the REAL world in that it hurts software        
   companies' profits and that it can get you busted if you're in the wrong  
   part of the world such as the US, Canada, etc.  Its good effects are      
   that since most software companies are either too lazy to release         
   shareware/demos of their products or their shareware/demos are so         
   crippled you cannot effectively evaluate the software, pirating provides  
   a way for users to evaluate the software before they purchase it.  Of     
   course, as I said before, this was outlawed.  Apparently, software        
   companies are too greedy to care if their users will be able to use       
   their software and that the software will suit their needs.               
                                                                             
       It's getting to the point that there are so many different programs   
   out there, and so few reviews on those programs that only the huge        
   megacorporations can effectively release shareware or demos.  This is     
   also the same for reviews.  Only the large companies can get reviews      
   from reputable magazines or whatnot.  So a smaller company that produces  
   a product that is actually better than Microsoft's newest office          
   management program may never get any sort of review or shareware copy     
   released, and they will lose money from that.                             
                                                                             
       In general, software costs too much for people to be going out and    
   buying it left and right in case the program they bought first does not   
   suit their needs.  Since most major stores don't allow trades of          
   software, even of the same type, the person who bought the software is    
   out of luck.  He's lost about $50 to $70 to some worthless software       
   because he could not properly evaluate the software by looking at the     
   colorful box prior to purchasing it.                                      
                                                                             
       If the FBI is going to outlaw software piracy in the United States,   
   why don't all countries do it?  That is a problem I cannot understand.    
   The companies don't want people pirating their software, yet the people   
   over in say, Amsterdam, can freely distribute it, since there's no FBI    
   there, to my knowledge.                                                   
                                                                             
       In closing, I'd just like to say that software DOES cost too much to  
   be thrown around like it's such an unimportant, miniscule thing, and      
   that the companies who are writing the software should find a better way  
   to allow potential users to preview their software before wasting their   
   money on something they possibly can't use.

     Subject : USR Fucksters 33.6 v.34

       I recently purchased a USR Sporster 33.6 v.34 expecting to get it     
   home and plug it in and start surfing.  I was severely mistaken.  I       
   brought my modem home and opened the package.  I then set the com ports   
   as instructed, etc.  Things seemed fine at first, then I started to       
   notice that during my connections it would pause, or stop responding      
   completely.  I assumed that this was caused by some fault of mine,        
   possible init strings problems or something to that extent.  I fiddled    
   with the init strings and com port settings for several hours and then    
   decided that it would be better to try it the next day after I had some   
   rest.                                                                     
                                                                             
       While I was at work the next day, I decided I would call the USR      
   Tech Support to see if they had any ideas.  After listening to 7 minutes  
   of recorded messages, I decided it wasn't worth running up the phone      
   companies' bills.  I came home that evening and checked out the           
   conference comp.dcom.modems and to my surprise, found more than 100       
   messages detailing the same exact problem that I had.                     
                                                                             
       I called the USR Tech Support and after 10 minutes on hold, I         
   finally got "Jose" who seemed to have no technical knowlege other than    
   the cue card that he was obviously holding in front of him.  He went      
   through the obvious.  He asked me what kind of computer I was running.    
   I told him that I have a DX2/66 with 8 megabytes of RAM.  He told me to   
   make sure that I had com 1 disabled in my BIOS.  I so kindly informed     
   him that there was no COM settings in a 486 board.  Then he asked me to   
   go into MSD and check the com ports.  When he found out that my com1 was  
   displaying a 2400 baud rate he said that my problem would be cured if I   
   moved my modem to com3 and irq 5.  He also said again to disable my com   
   port in my BIOS and when I again told him that my BIOS had no com         
   settings, he insulted me by asking who built my computer.  I replied      
   that I built the computer and he shut the fuck up.                        
                                                                             
       So I hung up and switched my modem to com 3 irq 5 having to switch    
   my Sound Blaster card to irq 7 and temporarily disabling my LPT port.     
   This however did not resolve the problem.  Very upset, I called USR Tech  
   Support yet again.  This time after waiting for only 15 minutes on a      
   long distance connection, I was connected with "Magadababba mohababba     
   abdul makharrah bushi" and he asked me the obvious.  When I told him      
   that I had read over 100 messages detailing the same exact problem as I   
   he asked my FirmWare (EPROM) date and I told him.  He then said I would   
   have to send my modem in to have the EPROM upgraded.  I have read         
   several messages from people on USENET who say that this has resolved     
   their problems.  So, if you have a USR Sportster 33.6 v.34 with an EPROM  
   date between 10/95 and 3/96 (you can find this out by typing ati7 at      
   your terminal window) and you are having the "pausing" problem then I     
   would recommend that you contact USR Tech Support at (847) 982-5151 and   
   tell them that you need to have your EPROM upgraded.  This will be a      
   free upgrade.  Please, if they hassle you, don't put up with it, ask to   
   speak with their supervisor.  This is obviously a known problem and they  
   have made no effort to correct this.                                      
                                                                             
       I hope that this has been a help, and if you are upset that I         
   included the entire conversation and summary of events that took place,   
   then please excuse me.

       Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review!   
   Here I will be reviewing the 5 best games release groups in the scene.    
   Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!      
   It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you     
   will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity.  Let's      
   review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases.  The following    
   is the scoring basis I'll be using :

   [-3] The game didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72      
        hours.  The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack  
        or fix, even beyond the 3 day period.

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

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

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

       Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review!   
   Here I will be reviewing the 3 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.

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

       If you haven't played the older versions of this classically bad      
   game, then you should check it out for a laugh.  It's a first person 3D   
   perspective (Doom like) in black and white, except your a dick and you    
   shoot cum.  You hit the fire button the hand starts wacking off and then  
   it shoots cum.  The game gets boring quick, and the graphics are pretty   
   dull.  You shoot at other dicks, old fart 3 inchers, and tits and         
   ovaries.  Your life stamina is shown by the length of your dick and       
   armor in this game is a condom.  I didn't notice any differences from     
   this version and older versions, but supposively they are there.  If you  
   want a good laugh, go ahead, if not dont bother.

       Yes, I do occasionally review demos, and this is one of those times.  
   This is a playable preview of this upcoming Mechwarrior like game.  In    
   fact, it's pretty much exactly like Mechwarrior.  Nice graphics, and      
   layout for a demo, with pretty much all the options.  If you want to see  
   what it's like so when the full version comes out you can see if it'll    
   be worth the download, I reccomend getting it.  If you liked Mechwarrior  
   you should also get this.  You will need at least a Pentium 90 to play    
   this one.  You basically, like in MW, just go around and shoot at other   
   robot like fighting machines, you have missions to follow, etc.

       Eh, so it's old as hell, maybe we should get Beavis and Butthead to   
   do a little review on it.                                                 
                                                                             
   <Butthead> Uhhh, what the hell is this crap?                              
                                                                             
   <Beavis> It's um, like stuff with death and destruction.                  
                                                                             
   <Butthead> Uhhh, no.  You dumbass, that's the name of the group.          
                                                                             
   <Beavis> Oh yeah, heheheh, I knew that.  So like what's it about?         
                                                                             
   <Butthead> It's old, huhuh.                                               
                                                                             
   <Beavis> Yeah, old things suck!                                           
                                                                             
   <Butthead> They should like take all the old stuff and burn it.           
                                                                             
   <Beavis> Yeah, fire, fire, fire!                                          
                                                                             
   <Butthead> I heard this was like an R-P-G game or something.  It like     
              stands for Really Poor Game.                                   
                                                                             
   <Beavis> No way, Stuart said it's an adventure game from like 1940.       
                                                                             
   <Butthead> Huhuhuh, you dumbass, they only had that game Pong in 1940.    
                                                                             
   <Beavis> Ohhhh right, yeah yeah.  So like what is this?                   
                                                                             
   <Butthead> Uhh, I dunno, I think your some guy and stuff, and you like    
              are on some Quest for Glory and like you click on stuff and    
              stuff happens.  It's stupid.                                   
                                                                             
   <Beavis> Oh I see.  How come you're so smart Butthead?                    
                                                                             
   <Butthead> Uhhh, I read this magazine TGR, it like tells me everything.   
                                                                             
   <Beavis> Ahh so that's what you do when you're in the bathroom. *PLOOP*   
                                                                             
   <Butthead> Yeah, it makes me in-tel-uh-gent and stuff.  It told me this   
              game sucks and has shitty music and old vga graphics.  It      
              also said it has naked pictures of you masterbating in it.     
                                                                             
   <Beavis> NO WAY!  That would be an improvement to the game.               
                                                                             
   <Butthead> Umm, whatever.                                                 
                                                                             
       I know Beavis and Butthead is old (so is the game) and that this      
   sucks, but I felt like it.

       RPG, with lots of interaction and boring non-humorous talking         
   between characters.  The movement (with the mouse) is kind of a pain to   
   manipulate and to do actions, but you manage.  Music is gay, no           
   noticeable sfx.  It's the usual plot of your space ship landing on some   
   strange land inhabited by other cretures/people.  Game gets boring        
   quick.  You have an eagle's eye view over the land and people.  Not much  
   to say, not so hot, don't know why Reflux thought it was the best game    
   this year, because it's not.  If you like RPGs with lots of talking and   
   roaming around not so hot graphic areas, then you might like this, but    
   even then, you might not.

       This is a DEMO.  However, no one said shit to me about it being one.  
   Nothing in the nfo about it either.  This is a playable demo though, and  
   I guess I can talk about it briefly, before I give it the phat O.         
   Basically, you've got 3 choices of vehicles, and after that it's          
   Terminal Velocity in a car.  Well, not as good as TV, but you get the     
   idea.

       Not bad.  It's definitely a beta, still swaps and pauses right in     
   the middle of gameplay, along with a couple audio glitches thrown in for  
   good measure, and it installed its own directX2 drivers without asking    
   (quite unlike MS).  I'll like it a lot better once the final comes out.   
   I do have to say that the synth muzak flippin rocks though and the        
   grafix are a lot better than average.  This will probably be one of       
   those "unbelievable directX games" I talked about a couple weeks ago.     
   As far as the juice of the game, you can pick one out of about 10 of the  
   most popular monster trucks to race with.                                 
                                                                             
       There are 4 different types of races too.  Drag (side by side car     
   crush), Rally (offroad enduro type), Circuit, and Tournament.  You can    
   set up suspension, gearbox, and tires on your truck for the different     
   types of tracks/races.  Don't have more than 4 other trucks racing        
   against you when you first start out though, the traffic kinda sucks.     
                                                                             
       There are many different resolutions, textures, and toggles to        
   optimize video/processor speed, as well as audio, and joy/keybd setup.    
   As a little side note, from what I gather about the help files included,  
   MS is planning on devoting a whole webpage to this game, with possible    
   tournament type netgames once the game goes final.  This one will         
   definitely be worth checking out!                                         
                                                                             
       POINTS : 74 - I took some points off because it's a beta and has a    
                     couple problems.

       This hwsolk.com file is a generic virus produced by the PS-MPC virus  
   creation kit that anything will detect.  Oh!  If you run this in your     
   windows directory, it'll do really neat things!  Blah.. this wasn't just  
   an infected file, the whole .com file is a virus, meaning it was          
   intentionally spread.  You'd think they woulda put a nice polymorphic in  
   there or something.  A couple zit faced 13 year old FUCKS probably made   
   this shit.  Didn't get me though bitch, I scan everything before I run    
   it, like any other sane mofo would.  Heh, I'm starting to build quite a   
   nice little collection of virii.  I could try running the game itself     
   but I wouldn't touch this thing with a 286.

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

       "Holy Cow" -Phil Rizuto.  Yes, Holy Cow, holy pigs, and HOLY SHIT.    
   Man, this game is sweet as sugar.  It's by far the best baseball game     
   out, and for those who like arcade type baseball games, rather than the   
   sim, this one is the best ever.  This game has it all as do many          
   baseball games.  The game play is quick, to the point, and has great      
   sound effects and announcer (yes it really has an announcer in the 45     
   disks, no addons).  The announcer also doesn't just say lame ass like     
   "Now batting 1st baseman."  No sir, he says the name of the player,       
   sometimes comments if he has scored a run and stuff like that.            
                                                                             
       Anyone with at least a 486 can run this game, because it has a nice   
   low resolution mode, that at first may seem crappy, but you'll soon see   
   it ain't that bad.  Those of you with Pentium 75+ will be able to         
   experience the beautiful high resolution graphics that make this game     
   even more exciting to play.  It even has modem play and serial play.      
   Home run derby of course, season of course, and all of the types of play  
   you could think of.  Real players, real teams, and real stats.  This is   
   as close as we've gotten to a really good baseball game that was          
   actually a GAME and not so statistical.  It's not impossible to hit the   
   ball, and the game follows no "boring nintendo like" patterns where you   
   can always steal or stuff like that (I've actually even been able to      
   pick off the computer from first base, when it had a big lead).           
                                                                             
       This game is without a doubt, a must for anyone looking for sports    
   or baseball games, and a definite worth checking out for others, unless   
   you despise sports.  Easy to install, no subst, it's what we here in      
   `Reviewland' wish everything was like.  So go grab your mit, your bat,    
   and oh, bring your balls <G>.

       This is one of the lesser quality war games.  It's a simple map of    
   the flags and they move towards each other and you get to have the fun    
   of controlling the supplies and people, etc.  This one ain't too hot,     
   lot's of different settings inside the game, but it's pretty plain and    
   basic looking.  Sound like went off after the opening for some reason.    
   Looks pretty boring, if you find yourself playing this for more than 5    
   minutes on a friday or saturday night, call 1-800-DR-KEVORKIAN and ask    
   about the special "Fast Serve" plan.

       Bad BAD BAD Prestige!  Naughty naughty!  Yuck, this is not only       
   freeware, but it is crap too (oh wait those are the same thing).  This    
   is a collection of addon shit for Duke Nukem 3D.  It's got shitload of    
   .maps, most of which were already released in Nuke It and other misc.     
   packagings.  It include's an install which doesn't work and stuff, and a  
   shitty program to view levels, which sucks balls anyway.  This is just a  
   plain out waste of time.  It includes also some animations, but it tells  
   you nothing about how to run it, and there is just so much crap in this,  
   that it takes up like 170 megs, (even though when I deleted it, I had     
   333 more megs) and it's a total waste of space and time to download.      
   Even if you're a die hard Duke Nukem 3D fan, don't waste your precious

       This review brought to you by the letter C, K, and a close friend of  
   Z, Mr. Y.  This game closely compares to C&C, but it just lacks the       
   faster paced action that C&C has.  The game, although could easily made   
   better by some faster movement of the characters (and it has nothing to   
   do with the CPU, they are just designed to move only a certain amount of  
   space per time) and maybe a little more close up action.                  
                                                                             
       The game has two people, you and the computer, and your job is to     
   take over sections of the land and build up an army, get weapons and      
   vehicles etc.  Once you've done so (or you could just go straight for     
   it) you try to knock down the enemies fort.  Also, the movement of the    
   map is pretty damn slow too, and the controlling of it is a pain in the   
   ass when you have people all over the map and you are trying to move      
   them a little further down past where the screen shows (you can use the   
   zoomed out map, but it's still a pain in the ass).                        
                                                                             
       Plus, every time you click on one of your guys it centers the         
   screen, pain.  The robots (they are the ones who fight) talk to you on    
   videophone and say stuff like "What the hell is wrong with you, I said    
   we are under attack."  Sometimes they will give you an attitude, if for   
   example, you tried to send one soldier after a huge tank, it will say     
   "Are you crazy?" or "No way!" but it will still of course do it.  The     
   game could be a lot better if they just made it more fast paced.  But if  
   you don't mind waiting 1-2 mins for your guy to go from your side to the  
   other, then by all means, try this one out.  It certainly isn't on the    
   C&C level, but it tries to be.

       Wow, I was impressed by the looks of this game.  Although it's more   
   fighting than it was using your brain, it's still a good game.  How can   
   you describe this one, well, picture it this way, you know how in Alone   
   in the Dark you could fight, well that's what this game is like, except   
   it's on a better game engine, better fighting, and better graphics.       
   This game amazed me because it runs smoothly on anything (486+) in the    
   top notch gfx mode.  It's really fun to play, but there are only a few    
   levels because of the large size.  Also don't use the Reflux installer,   
   I think it's set for *.r* and so it goes in a loop, do it manually.       
                                                                             
       This game is one worth checking out if you like those 3D looking      
   games and wish they had more action to it.  Although the game gets        
   boring, it's still a nice step in technology and looks cool to show off   
   to people.  There was also an animation pack, which will get it's review  
   in next issue.  Great game, but lacks the umph (more levels) that the CD  
   would have.  Also, once I got to the level "European Middle Age - Level   
   1" I would keep on beating it and it would just take me back to that,     
   seems like the ending is not there or there is none.  Here are two        
   passwords, apparently the only ones you can get from playing this rip:

       If you got into Tetris you might like this.  It wasted about 15       
   minutes of my time though, which is about 10 more than I thought it       
   would.  The game is almost exactly like tetris, as far as the shit        
   dropping out the top goes, but it drops animals and food instead of       
   shapes.  Only certain animals eat certain food and the more food they     
   eat the more points you get.  Kinda hard to explain, so either screw it,  
   or leech it to find out.  The grafix were a little better than average    
   for a game like this, and the midis were cool too.  2 player mode was     
   also included, like side by side Dr. Mario.  Be sure to get the .dll      
   fixpak for this too.

       Heh.. a nifty little game for a 4 year old maybe.  I dunno why        
   Napalm released this, slippin??  At any rate, it's just like those        
   little slider puzzle games you used to get at the doctor's office for     
   not crying when he jams that 6" needle up your ass.  The only thing that  
   halfway didn't suck was that it uses 64k or 16 million color mode, and    
   you can load your own bitmaps.  Otherwise pretty useless junk.

       Another SimXXXX type of game, but I like this one for some reason.    
   Maybe because there's combat stuff in it too?  Maybe because there's a    
   different type of strategy involved?  Dunno.  There's definitely a lot    
   of stuff to do (and for me, to fuck up..heh).  The main goal in this is   
   to build up your technologies, while keeping your people fed and happy,   
   not running out of resources, and not getting waxed by your competitors.  
   I picked a crappy race when I started, and my competitors got a lot more  
   colonists than I did.  Ya gotta have a lot of colonists for a fast        
   growing empire.  I had a little trouble trying to do stuff, but a nice    
   help system wasn't ripped in case you can't figure out how to do          
   something.                                                                
                                                                             
       The music is pretty cool, the graphics are about like any other       
   SimXXX game, and netplay wasn't ripped either.  A little side note,       
   Ionizer couldn't get this to work on his Win31 box, it says it will       
   under Win32s in the nfo, so I dunno if the nfo is correct on that.  No    
   problems installing it in 95 tho, just run Razor's supah hax0red          
   Setup.exe.  WinG and the Adobe .pdf reader were included too.             
                                                                             
       All in all, I can pretty much say that this game seems to be SimCity  
   taken to a new and interesting level.  Nice game, from someone who barfs  
   at the word SimShitty.                                                    
                                                                             
   Ionizer's Note : NFO said it would run in Win3.1, but it didn't.

   Deadlock - Minimal-RIP                                                    
                                                                             
   %03 This is what IRQ57 had to say about this release :                    
                                                                             
   "Another Stripped down release from us, Deadlock was released by Razor    
   on 29 disks. We give it to you on 4.  We have ripped out the music (not   
   the sfx) and the Mplayer/Ten Internet packs, so you can't play this       
   version over Internet."                                                   
                                                                             
       Ok, same game, no music, no netplay.  Minus 25 disks.  What gives?!   
   I played this for about 2.5 hours, no bugs, nothing wrong with it.  Just  
   25 fucking disks smaller.  No setup shit, just click on the exe and       
   play.  I'd like to give IRQ57 my Kick Fucking Ass Award for the MONTH on  
   this one.  Keep ripping the rips guys, dunno who the fuck you are, but    
   just keep it up.  Maybe some of these other groups could take lessons or  
   something??  If it came down to a music track or a release that was 25    
   disks smaller, I (and I'm pretty sure I speak for almost everyone here)   
   would pick the 4 disker hands down.                                       
                                                                             
       POINTS : 83 - The score the original release got.  110% to the group  
                     IRQ57!  To school with tha rest.

       I tried this a week or 3 ago, and it wouldn't install.  This one      
   however does, looks to be exactly like the regular Hoyle blackjack.  I    
   couldn't get it to play non-inet, it would immediately look for the       
   network presence and completely crap out if it didn't find it.  Since     
   I've got better things to than to load up the shitty ppp crap on my       
   system and try this, I'll just give it a n/a.

   Sure it's 24 disks... if you got a leet ass 2.88 floppy drive.  So in     
   order to install this and keep the zips, you'll need 373 megz.  Yeah,     
   yeah, so it's under the 50 disk limit, big deal.  Doesn't mean that it    
   doesn't suck.  Actually, the game itself wasn't entirely too awful, but   
   it was a really shitty rip and not worth the download time.  You can't    
   see any of the mission briefings (to tell you what kind of equipment you  
   need), or any of the debriefings (where they tell you how god-like you    
   are when you wax all the bad guys).  This isn't one of those 1st person   
   3d mech games either, it's one of those 3rd person, hex style maps where  
   you have to move a guy here, move a guy there, shoot here, shoot there,   
   and end turn so the bad guy can move.  Of course, would you expect        
   anything different from SSI?                                              
                                                                             
       The pre-mission command center was way cooler than all the            
   in-mission graphics.  When it first loaded up and I saw the command       
   center stuff, I thought, "Hey wow, fuck, this is cool shit!"  Until the   
   actual mission started, when I thought, "I spent HOW MUCH time leeching   
   this?"  Kinda reminds me of any of the 1000 scrolly shootemups for the    
   PSX.  All the intro, config, and pre-game stuff rocks, but the game       
   sucks.  Oh well, this thing wasn't a very rewarding experience, due to    
   the ripping of all the text.                                              
                                                                             
       POINTS : 48 - Not worth the time/space.  Hybrid, release the          
                     brief/debrief stuff and I might change that score.      
                     Better yet, fix that 148 mb file, and repackage it      
                     smaller with the text stuff.

     improves a lot.

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

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

       Hello, and welcome to Reality Check Network's all new group review!   
   Here I will be reviewing the 5 best utils release groups in the scene.    
   Well, actually, *I* won't be the one reviewing them, *THEY* will be!      
   It's all up to the groups, this is where quantity DOES count, but you     
   will soon enough find that quality by far outweighs quantity.  Let's      
   review the criteria I'll be using for judging releases.  The following    
   is the scoring basis I'll be using :                                      
                                                                             
   Points :

   [-3] The util didn't work and a crack/fix was not released within 72      
        hours.  The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack  
        or fix, even beyond the 3 day period.

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

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

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

   because I will try to do my best explaning how to make many explosives

   orignated by me, Pawn, so I should be able to explain this pretty well.

   1.) After you have all the materials, take the a 1 foot by 1 foot piece   
       of foil and start ripping it into 1/2 to 3/4 by 2 or 3 inch peices.

                              ^                                              
                               \ 1/2 to 3/4 inch                             
                                                                             
   2.) Then, making sure that all the pieces are done, slide them all into   
       the the 2-liter bottle, try not to crumple them up.                   
                                                                             
   3.) Pour about 1/2 of a cup of the muric acid into the squirt bottle.     
       Get one of the squirt bottles that have one of those squirt caps so   
       you can get squirt the acid out fast.                                 
                                                                             
   4.) Lastly, take the squirt bottle and the 2-liter bottle with the        
       aluminum foil in it to the place where you want to let it off and     
       squirt all the acid into the 2-liter bottle as fast as you can and    
       then put the cap on and throw it!  You might want to watch it from a  
       distance because when this thing goes off, it is big and load!

       Most of the following information came from a lot of sources, so      
   they may look redundant to some of the more knowledgable individuals,     
   but I felt that a few people may be interested in reading this.           
                                                                             
   Obtaining a Credit Card Number                                            
   ------------------------------                                            
                                                                             
       There are many ways to obtain the information needed to card          
   something.  The most important things needed are the card number and the  
   expiration date.  Having the card-holder's name doesn't hurt, but it is   
   not essential.                                                            
                                                                             
       One way to obtain all the information needed is by trashing.  The     
   way this is done is simple.  You walk around your area or any other area  
   and find a store, mall, supermarket, etc., that throws their garbage      
   outside on the sidewalk or dumpster.  Rip the bag open and see if you     
   can find any carbons at all.  If you find little shreds of credit card    
   carbons, then it is most likely not worth your time to tape together.     
   Find a store that does not rip their carbons at all or only in half.      
   General rule when trashing is to dress like a bum.  If you are a bum,     
   dress normally.                                                           
                                                                             
       Another way is to bullshit the number out of someone.  That is call   
   them up and say "Hello, this is Visa security and we have a report that   
   your card was stolen."  They will deny it and you will try to get it out  
   of them from that point on.  You could say, "It wasn't stolen?  Well      
   what is the expiration date and maybe we can fix the problem.  Ok... and  
   what is the number on your card, sir?  Thank you very much and have a     
   nice day."  Or think of something to that degree.                         
                                                                             
       Another way to get card numbers is through systems such as TRW and    
   CBI, this is the hard way, and probably not worth the trouble unless you  
   are an expert on the system.  Using credit card numbers posted on BBSes   
   is risky.  The only advantage is that there is a good chance that other   
   people will use it, thus decreasing the chances of being the              
   sole-offender.  The last method of getting numbers is very good also.     
   In most video rental stores, they take down your credit card number when  
   you join to back-up your rentals.  So if you could manage to steal the    
   list or make a copy of it, then you are set for a LONG time.              
                                                                             
       More modern methods include taking advantage of online services and   
   Internet shopping malls.  I will not go into details about this, you'll   
   have to figure this out yourself.  To give you an idea how easy this      
   could be, take for example America Online.  They have 6 million           
   subscribers.  A rather large percentage of that number consist of         
   idiots, morons or dumbasses and I personally have "fished" at least 100k  
   on some nights and acquired at least 5,000 full info CCs.  Don't ask      
   how, that's my style.                                                     
                                                                             
       Basically, all you have to do is pull some very skillful hi-tech      
   bullshitting.  You pretend to be staff/sysop and tell the victim that     
   there are problems or whatever you can think of.  Outside the scope of    
   carding, you can also use this method to obtain passwords to accounts.    
   Needless to say, card a fake account first.  By the way, do not look for  
   me in the private chatroom CARDING.  I don't go there.  All I saw were    
   whimps who couldn't do the carding themselves, and a few smart people     
   who took advantage of this.  I think I saw this published in the last     
   issue of RCN, and unfortunately, I have met some who fell prey to this    
   trick.  What can I say?  You deserve it.  Blah...                         
                                                                             
       Sometimes, some establishments will accept any card number as long    
   as it is valid.  The algorithms for computing credit card numbers are     
   public information.  Hey, I've coded my own program to do this in my      
   spare time, it's not difficult.  You can read it from the alt.2600 FAQ    
   and probably find it implemented on several programs, most notable is     
   Credit Master.  Generally, generated numbers don't work, but sometimes    
   you can find certain bank index numbers which do.                         
                                                                             
       For example, using a generated number of the prefix 4921-85 can get   
   you access to most online services.  Yeah, you porn lovers can subscribe  
   or call stuff.  You can even use some of these to card phone calls (i.e.  
   1-800-CALL-ATT).  Use a payphone.  I love their advertisement, "Know the  
   code,"  Muhahhahaha.  Go recharge some prepaid phone cards.  Get them     
   everywhere.                                                               
                                                                             
   Choosing a Victim                                                         
   -----------------                                                         
                                                                             
       Once you have the card number, it is time to make the order.  The     
   type of places that are easiest to victimize are small businesses that    
   do mail order or even local stores that deliver.  If you have an ad for   
   a place with something you want and the order number is NOT a 1-800       
   number, then chances are better that you will succeed.                    
                                                                             
       When you call the place up to make the order, you must have several   
   things readily at hand.  These are the things you will need, a name,      
   telephone number, business phone, card number (4 digit bank code if the   
   card is MasterCard), expiration date, and a complete shipping and         
   billing address.  I will talk about all of these in detail.  A personal   
   tip, when I call to make an order, it usually goes much smoother if the   
   person I am talking to is a woman.  In many cases they are more gullible  
   than men.                                                                 
                                                                             
       A name, you could use the name on the card or the name of the person  
   who you are going to send the merchandise to.  Or you could use the name  
   on the card and have it shipped to the person who lives at the drop (say  
   it is a gift or something).  The name is really not that important        
   because when the company verifies the card, the person's name is never    
   mentioned, EXCEPT when you have a Preffered Visa card.  Then the name is  
   mentioned.  You can tell if you have a Preffered Visa card by the PV to   
   the right of the expiration date on the carbon.  Now, phone all day long  
   waiting for the company to call (which they will), then the phone number  
   to give them as your home-phone could be one of the following, a number   
   that is ALWAYS busy, a number that ALWAYS rings, a payphone number, low   
   end of a loop (and you will wait on the other end), or a popular BBS.     
   NEVER give them your home phone because they will find out as soon as     
   their investigations start and they check who the phone belongs to.  The  
   best thing would be to have a payphone call forward your house.  If you   
   can beige-box a neighbor's and connect to it remotely, that would be      
   even better.                                                              
                                                                             
       The card number, the cards you will use will be Visa, MasterCard,     
   American Express, and Discover.  The best is by far Visa.  It is the      
   most straight-forward.  MasterCard is pretty cool except for the bank     
   code.  When they ask for the bank code, they sometimes also ask for the   
   bank that issued it.  When they ask that, just say the biggest bank you   
   know of in your area.  Try to avoid American Express.  They tend to lead  
   full scale investigations.  Unfortunately, American Express is the most   
   popular card out.  When telling the person who is taking your call the    
   card number, say it slowly, clearly, and with confidence.  For example,   
   if the card number is 5396-1234-5678-9012, pause after each set of fours  
   so you don't have to repeat yourself.                                     
                                                                             
       The date of the expiration date must be at LEAST in that month.  It   
   is best with more than three months to go.                                
                                                                             
       The address is more commonly referred to as the 'drop.'  Well, the    
   drop can range from an abandoned building to your next door neighbor's    
   apartment.  If you plan to send it to an apartment building, then be      
   sure NOT to include an apartment number.  This will confuse UPS or the    
   postage men a little and they will leave the package in the lobby.  Here  
   is a list of various drops - the house next door whose family is on       
   vacation, the apartment that was just moved out of, the old church that   
   will be knocked down in six months, your friend's house who has           
   absolutely nothing to do with the type of merchandise you will buy and    
   who will also not crack under heat from Feds, etc.                        
                                                                             
       There are also services that hold merchandise for you, but            
   personally, I would not trust them.  And forget about P.O. Boxes because  
   you need ID to get one and most places don't ship to them anyway.  If     
   you work for a company or have a large group that has an account on       
   something like Mailboxes Etc, that might work.                            
                                                                             
       Other aspects of carding include verifying cards, seeing if they      
   were reported stolen.  Stores need to verify credit cards when someone    
   purchases something with one.  They call up a service that checks to see  
   if the customer has the money in the bank.  The merchant identifies       
   himself with a merchant number.  The service then holds the money that    
   the merchant verified on reserve.  When the merchant sends in the credit  
   card form, the service sends the merchant the money.  The service holds   
   the money for three days and if no form appears then it is put back into  
   the bank.  The point is that if you want to verify something then you     
   should verify it for a little amount and odds are that there will be      
   more in the bank.                                                         
                                                                             
       The good thing about verification is that if the card doesn't exist   
   or if it is stolen, then the service will tell you.  To verify            
   MasterCard and Visa, try the following number.  It is voice :             
   1-800-327-1111, the merchant code is 596719.  Whoa, this information is   
   old, you may need to get a more recent one.                               
                                                                             
       Stolen cards, MasterCard and Visa come out with a small catalog       
   every week where they publish EVERY stolen or fraudulantly used card.  I  
   get this every week by trashing the same place on the same day.  If you   
   ever find it trashing, then try to get it every week.  If you got         
   connections in a store, they usually have this.                           
                                                                             
       Identifying cards, Visa card numbers begin with a 4 and have either   
   13 or 16 digits.  MasterCard card numbers begin with a 5 and have 16      
   digits.  Discover card numbers begin with a 6 and have 16 digits.         
   American Express begins with a 3 and has 15 digits.  They all have the    
   following formats :

       A gold card simply means that credit is good for $5000.  Without a    
   gold card, credit would normally be $2000 or less.  To recognize a gold   
   card on a carbon, there are several techniques :

       Visa            - PV instead of CV.  Note, you must have the          
                         cardholder's name to verify a PV.

   <Operator> In 6 to 7 days via UPS.                                        
                                                                             
   <Carder> Thanks a lot, and have a pleasant day.                           
                                                                             
       Now, you wait 6-7 days when the package will arrive at the address    
   which is really an abandoned house.  There will be a note on the door     
   saying - Hello UPS, please leave all packages for Justin Kalina in the    
   lobby or porch.  Thanks a lot, Justin Kalina.                             
                                                                             
       There are a lot of things to card.  Almost every establishment I      
   know accepts credit cards.  Although, if you study this carefully, we     
   can understand why 2600 or RCN probably believes in the motto : In God    
   we trust, all others pay in cash.                                         
                                                                             
       What do you do with the goods?  Use them, sell them, whatever.  If    
   you get caught, tough, that's your problem.  I personally have my boys    
   do the job for me.  I run my own little ring of carders.

        [Sample: American Express]                                           
         XXXX XXXXXX XXXXX

         John Doe               AX                                           
                                                                             
       The first date is the date the person got the card, the second date   
   is the expriation date, after the expiration date is the same digits in   
   the first year.  The American Express Gold has many more numbers (I       
   think 6 8 then 8).  If you do find a Gold card keep it for it has a       
   $5000.00 backup even when the guy has no money!                           
                                                                             
        [Sample: MasterCard]                                                 
         5XXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

         John Doe                                                            
                                                                             
       The format varies, I have never seen a card that did not start with   
   a 5XXX.  There are another 4 digits on the next line that is sometimes    
   asked for when ordering stuff, (and rarely a 3 digit letter combo.  The   
   first date is the date the person got the card and the second date is     
   the expiration date.  Master ard is almost always accepted at stores.     
                                                                             
        [Sample: Visa]                                                       
         XXXX XXX(X) XXX(X) XXX(X)

         John Doe                                                            
                                                                             
       Visa is the most straight forward of the cards, for it has the name   
   right on the card itself, again the first date is the date he got the     
   card and the second is the expiration date.  Sometimes the first date is  
   left out.  The numbers can either be 4 3 3 3 or 4 4 4 4.  Visa is also    
   almost always accepted at stores, therefore, the best of cards to use.    
                                                                             
       My personal experience includes carding modems, books, flowers,       
   Internet accounts, protein skimmers (aquarium stuff), ink cartridges,     
   software (hey you suppliers check this out, card your warez), t-shirts,   
   international phone calls, music CDs, VHS tapes (UFC and Beavis and       
   Butthead), mice, keyboards, speakers, sound systems.  Blah.. I forget     
   what else I've gotten.                                                    
                                                                             
       Most of the time now, I just have someone else do it.  They are       
   usually loyal, and sometimes I just do a special arrangement for the      
   more experienced ones.  I don't do stuff over $2,000 worth, so I can      
   honestly tell you that I've never tried carding a laptop.  If you have    
   to sign for a package, use your own pen, and sign a fake name or          
   whoever.  Sometimes, leaving a $1 tip on the door stuck to your note      
   helps.  Sometimes, knowing the delivery mailman can be beneficial.        
   Sometimes, it's not what you know, or what you can do, but who you know.  
   Having politicians in your pocket, connections with gangs, tie-ups with   
   store establishments, or friends in the Mafia (or Yakuza) can do          
   wonders.                                                                  
                                                                             
       I'd say hacking, phreaking, carding, warez and general anarchy are    
   woven in the same web.  Some may say carding is a bit on the darker side  
   of things.  Then again, that's only my opinion.  Here I am typing away,   
   but after this, I am going to go out and play in my sports country club   
   field with my carded soccer ball, wearing my carded socks, go skating on  
   my carded in-line skates, and look cool in my carded shades.  Too bad my  
   car had to be stolen, you can't have everything.  I'm just kidding about  
   the car.  :)                                                              
                                                                             
       A note to a dude who calls himself Sonic Bypass - heya, I felt        
   tempted to put your info as the example in the carding conversation.  I   
   could have, but then, well, just chill dude.  I hope we make peace next   
   time we meet.  I would like to make a public apology to you for whatever  
   I did.  And I would like you to do the same, although you need not have   
   to, it's really my fault.  Peace.                                         
                                                                             
       To everyone who wondered why my email address changed, the            
   expiration date on the credit card which my account was on was 06-96.     
   Bummer.  Hey Misery, I don't know what else to say about... you know.     
   Make something up.  To a certain Nicole, I've never been anything but     
   nice to you.  I hope we can at least still be friends.                    
                                                                             
       Greets go to my personal friends and members of Fluid Motion, WAY,    
   SIC, REG, UPS, OMNI, and the FWA.  I'd like to extend a hand to GODZ,     
   Misery, Gmoney, Nantra, Folk, Maven, Quagmire, Cherie, Maple, Peach,      
   Terror, Tekno, Tred, Cozmoe and Bitz.  I know I am going to miss MANY     
   more names, you know who you are.  So zugz! to EVERYONE else, that        
   should cover ya all.  Don't get mad.  :)

       Fake accounts have been made by warez pups throughout the history of  
   AOL.  I started making fakes during the AOL v2.5 times.  It was an easy   
   way of getting warez without paying that much money.  I had to pay for    
   the phone line, that was about it.  At about May/June 1996, AOL started   
   catching AOL faake accounts, they verified to see if the credit card      
   numbers were real.  This disappointed a lot of people, which led more     
   people to make fake account creators that would trick AOL.                
                                                                             
       Da Chronic made a fake account creator included with his AOHell.      
   His fake account creator was the only one to use a checking account.  It  
   never worked.  Radiator's AOLSD would have probably worked, but there     
   was one problem.  They didn't include a credit card number, so you had    
   to get a real one.  The rest of the people probably took AOHell and       
   AOLSD, decompiled and made another version of their own.  They never      
   modified the code, so the fake account creators still never worked.  By   
   the way, if somone does get a VB Decompiler (not DOdis), send it over     
   for trade.                                                                
                                                                             
       These fake account creators did work.  The UGK fake account creator,  
   this was one of the best fake account creators.  It was the first         
   working one I got, so I made about 20 fakes.  It was not password         
   protected, so the certificate # and passwords were drained quickly.  The  
   Magik FAC written by Snoop also worked.  This was a fairly new FAC made   
   between the time UGK's died and the AOL crackdown of fake accounts.       
   This was password protected so the certificate stuff lasted a while.  It  
   wasn't anything like Skitzo's.  You could easily hex Magik, but Skitzo's  
   was a password that wasn't even near the question area.  This made it a   
   lot harder to crack.  Skitzo's FAC was supposed to work, that was what    
   everyone said, but when I tried, it never worked.  It must have been the  
   build number which was probably out of date.                              
                                                                             
       Since the AOL crackdown on fake accounts.  Only a few FACs still      
   work, one of these was the new Skitzo's FAC.  I heard it's supposed to    
   work, but I've never gotten hold of it.  A number of other FACs were      
   supposed to work, but I've never tried them nor have I gotten them.       
   Since fake accounts are a lot harder to make without using a real credit  
   card number, getting Level 8 OverHead accounts was the solution.  Here    
   is a piece of mail that was forwarded back and forth :

       Good afternoon, John.  Here is your OverHead account generator.       
   This is just the basic Level 8 OverHead generator.  Once you download     
   this file, simply unzip it, then run the program, and within 2-3 days,    
   AOL will update your account with all the listed abilities :              
                                                                             
       1.) FREE unlimited time online.                                       
                                                                             
       2.) The ability to kick an annoying user from a chat room.            
                                                                             
       3.) Log a user offline, if he/she has rightfully so violated our      
           Terms of Service.                                                 
                                                                             
       4.) Terminate a user's account if he/she has rightfully so violated   
           our Terms of Service.                                             
                                                                             
       5.) The ability to remain invisible in a chat room to where no one    
           can see you're in the room.                                       
                                                                             
       Now remember, these are just a few of much more capabilities allowed  
   by Level 8 OverHead account status.  So download, unzip, run the          
   COW-OH.EXE while signed on and you'll be set.  Also, distribute this as   
   you see fit.  Goodbye for now, John.                                      
                                                                             
                                                Signed,

       COW-OH.EXE does not work, do not use it.  It steals your password.    
   It writes your password to a file and sends it.  Why do think they don't  
   let you watch the real part?  Because they're just a bunch of pussies     
   that want to steal passwords.  I got a CowBoyz version of Descent2 and    
   it didn't work.  I'm sure that this does not work either.  If you want a  
   real OverHead account generator, use the official AOL one, it doesn't     
   matter.  If you do become a part of the AOL staff, use a screen name of   
   yours to do the legal stuff, and use the other one to pirate software.

   Dear Road Rebel,                                                          
                                                                             
       First, I'd like to commend you and your fellow RCN members on the     
   creation of the RCN emag and the RCN web page which are awesome and very  
   inspiring to other groups and wannabe groups.                             
                                                                             
       Now, to the main topic, DALNet vs. EFNet (I personally don't think    
   UnderNet actually fits into the picture here!).  I have been an EFNet     
   regular ever since I introduced myself to the IRC world, which was about  
   3 to 4 months ago.  I knew about the warez scene because of my 2 years    
   BBSing, and then finally running up a $1400 phone bill in two months (a   
   very big FUCK you to AT&T), forcing me to terminate long distance         
   connections for an extensive period of time.  I had one or two friends    
   that I knew who were on IRC all the time but I had no idea about the      
   different EFNet, DALNet, etc., server groups.  Only in the past month     
   have I traveled these new domains on DALNet, UnderNet and now NewNet,     
   and I quite agree with you that DALNet is one of the best places out      
   there to go for warez (which have now been banned on DALNet I'm sorry to  
   say).  But, I have to disagree with some things you said about DALNet     
   last issue (but I'll have to start a new paragraph first).                
                                                                             
       I traveled DALNet's extensive and friendly warez channels as soon as  
   I found it, and tried to make as many friends as possible, and possibly   
   succeeded making friends with 85% of all the people that I chatted with.  
   Until last week when I decided to create my own Fserve/Warez/Trade        
   channel, disaster!  I went about the right way to set the channel up,     
   got a decent Bot in there, registered the channel, and registered my      
   bot's nick and my own nick to be auto-opped in that channel.              
                                                                             
       "Cool, no problems there, now to go and find warez lovers to join my  
   channel and trade their little shorts off!"  I went into multiple warez   
   channels on DALNet and started to subtly invite people and their fserves  
   to trade in my channel too, some came, some simply said no, or fuck off.  
   After a while watching other peoples' attempts at starting IRC channels,  
   I saw that mass invites would bring an equal amount of traders and        
   lamers (lamers being the ones that try to flood the channel or take it    
   over).  I tried this mass invite thingy making sure that I had proper     
   flood protection against these attempts.  People joined, then left, more  
   people joined then left, channel ops banned me, then tried desperately    
   to takeover and flood me and my channel, people /msg'd me obscene         
   comments and remarks, but on the other hand, some people said, "Ok, I     
   have an fserve, what do I need to do to have it on your channel?"  Or     
   they joined the channel, said hi, when others joined, they all chatted    
   together and it went on to be like a normal warez channel.  Then my BIG   
   mistake, I joined the warez channels with 25+ people in them, and         
   started to mass invite people.  The same things happened as when I        
   invited smaller channels, only on a MUCH larger scale!  Anyways, I        
   eventually got three fserves in my channel and 5 normal people before it  
   was time for me to hang up my modem for another time.                     
                                                                             
       I do not think that I will re-create this channel until I have a      
   moderate group of people willing to support the channel.  And if anyone   
   else plans to do the same as I did, take this letter as a lesson.         
                                                                             
       As for what you said about no lag, well... I have found that most     
   people try to get on servers that have an IP that is not far from         
   one-another, if you get on a far away server, it sucks, big time.         
                                                                             
       My final word is, DALNet and EFNet are both equally great, for        
   chatting and leeching, but if you want to start a warez channel, make     
   sure you have a very good reason to, like starting a new group is         
   probably the best reason.  I wouldn't bother starting a trade channel on  
   EFNet because, quite frankly, they really are not in short supply of      
   them!

       Well quite a letter.... I haven't spent enough time on DALNet to      
   really know it inside out, but from the time I did spend it was great.    
   I saw a few splits, but they were right back in like 10 secs.  As for     
   warez, I think DALNet banning warez is a mistake and it will kill their   
   servers.  BUT.... we will wait and see, all I know right now is that      
   DALNet has been around for quite awhile.  BUT it isn't growing up, if     
   they let warez people do their thing they would probably explode to       
   life.

   Dear Road Rebel,                                                          
                                                                             
       I would have to say that I favor EFNet over DALNet.  It is true that  
   DALNet has little or no lag, and that it has Chanserv and Nickserv to     
   completely protect channels from takeovers, but what's the fun of that?   
   I think that protecting/taking over channels and colliding nicks is       
   where the fun is!  DALNet is a more concern-free network, but in my       
   opinion EFNet is more exhilerating.  :)

   Dear NIN,                                                                 
                                                                             
       Yeah, there can be a lot of fun on EFNet, BUT... when you have a      
   channel like ours and you have to do a bussiness out of it and then some  
   jerkoff wants to take the channel because they don't like what you said   
   about them or their group, those are the times I wish I was on DALNet.

       I like DALNet much better than the three even though it's smaller.    
   It's cooler, with Chanserv and Nickserv there, it has a lot less          
   takeovers by little 12 year old fucking pricks who think they are god     
   because they have a fucking mirc war script.  I'd love it if a lot        
   people went from channel #RCN on EFNet and to channel #Dipshit on         
   DALNet.  I love it, plus I don't have to fight for my nick all the        
   goddamned time.  There are also a lot less splits so there is less of a   
   chance for colliers get a hard on from colliding you.

   Dear Road Rebel,  One thing is you CAN'T even compare EFNet with DALNet   
   and Undernet for one thing, last time I went to DALNet, the server I      
   logged on to said NO WAREZ or child porns.  I agree with the child porns  
   but WAREZ?  I went to a warez channel and GUESS what happened I got       
   k-lined.  Warez is meant to be traded.  DALNet sucks because you can't    
   takeover channels and harrass people!  That would suck if every server    
   was like DALNet because we would have no warez and no channel takeovers.  
   The only thing I could say that I liked about DALNet is that there is no  
   lag and splits very little because nobody goes on them!

   Dear Bytes,                                                               
                                                                             
       I do like the part of what you said is why I like DALNet.  NO         
   CHANNEL TAKEOVERS!  These lamers that have to take channels becuase they  
   are asked to leave need to grow up.  As for warez, well, that does suck.  
   But the overall system is nice I think.

       The following details your forecasts depending on your astrological   
   sign.  Each sign designates your personal lucky numbers of the week.      
   The following specific areas of focus include those of love and warez :

   <Aries> Visiting a few different IRC channels is stimulating.  Your mind  
           is working fast and you are ready to join some big groups.        
           Being with a variety of people is exhilarating.                   
                                                                             
   <Taurus> You may be going over your budget on computer software to        
            determine whether or not you are extravagant.  Pirate more.      
            You might be trying to save your money for a major purchase      
            such as a new ISDN modem.                                        
                                                                             
   <Gemini> It could be difficult week to stay focused.  If you are a        
            courier on short errands, make a list to keep you've couriered   
            and fortune will be nearby.                                      
                                                                             
   <Cancer> You will find a partner of the same sex on IRC that will         
            entertain you sexually.  Each of you is in a mood for lively     
            IRC chat.  Your art of conversation will a strategic plus in     
            attracting a lot of faggots.                                     
                                                                             
   <Leo> You feel like a LION, your nerves are jumping out of your skin.     
         This is not a good time to quit groups.  Too much thinking will     
         give you a big headache.  Uploading without downloading is going    
         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!

       Let us take the opposite sex, the female, and why she goes on the     
   Internet.  I think this is best told through an experience I had a few    
   weeks ago.  As I see it, there are certain aspects to look out for when   
   talking to a girl online with any provider, be it IRC, or America         
   Online.  Let me tell you a story...                                       
                                                                             
       One day, I was kinda bored, so I decided to call a BBS down in        
   Fremont, California.  I usually try to stay away from that board, but     
   sometimes I just go on to be a pain in the ass, or to play some BRE,      
   Barren Realms Elite, a BBS door game.  Anyway, I found a girl chatting    
   with this guy in a private room.  Now, Fubar is known for its sexual      
   connotation.  I thought these two were doing the cyber thing because      
   they were both at that age of discovery, and amazement.  The room was     
   also private.                                                             
                                                                             
       I went into the main chatroom, and I started to bug the man in the    
   private room.  He never acknowledged me until later.  This was getting    
   me bored, so I decided to start to flirt with the girl in the private     
   chatroom.  I was doing all of this through private messaging.  The girl,  
   right away, got really defensive, and was wondering why I was flirting    
   with her.  I really had no reason, and I told her that.  She didn't       
   understand that and she continued to put up this fat defense.             
                                                                             
       Now, the guy in the chatroom finally let me in, and as soon as I      
   went in, this girl was still questioning me.  I told her again that       
   there was no reason.  She still denied what I was saying.  Now, being     
   kinda humored by all this, I decided to shoot the shit with her for a     
   while.  I was sweet talking her, then the bomb shell hit...               
                                                                             
       The girl said, "I bet you are the kinda guy that likes girls for the  
   outside, rather than their inside!  Aren't you?!"                         
                                                                             
       I then said to myself, "Uh oh... I bet she's fat."                    
                                                                             
       It all added up.  First, she got EXTREMELY defensive about me         
   flirting with her.  I think the reason for this is that she does not      
   know how to handle being flirted with, and likewise does not know how to  
   flirt back.  She thinks she is fat, therefore, she has no self-esteme.    
   Second, she started to question my ethics toward dating other females,    
   giving comments like, "You only look at the outside beauty rather that    
   the inside," or "ALL men are like this!"                                  
                                                                             
       I am not sure if it is because girls have a wanting need to be        
   loved, or because they have nothing else to do, but it is, as I see it,   
   very sad.  I have learned through my all my girlfriends, and              
   acquaintances that girls are very self-conscious about their image, and   
   need to feel special.  They need to hear from other people that they are  
   'not fat' and that they are 'special.'  It would be fine if girls         
   complained like this once in a while, because it is just human nature,    
   but they do it CONSTANTLY over the Internet.  I have had experience       
   meeting people over the Internet, and in every instance, the girl was     
   not to amusing to me.  I usually get bored or pissed because she was      
   bitching.                                                                 
                                                                             
       If people want a relationship, the Internet is NOT the way to get     
   baked up.  In my opinion, it would be better to just meet people at a     
   local coffee shop, or at a McDonald's.  That way, you can see the person  
   that you are meeting, and get to know them while you know what they look  
   like.  That way, there are no surprises.  Girls can have the most         
   wonderful personality and wit over the Internet, but then if you find     
   out that she is fat...                                                    
                                                                             
       ...BOMBS AWAY!!!

       If any of you are trying to pursue a relationship over the Internet,  
   I'd urge you to take my friend's advice.  Either that, or get full body   
   photos from the person you're talking to or you just won yourself a new   
   platonic friend.  There is a reason why Cindy Crawfords don't hang on     
   the Internet.                                                             
                                                                             
       As for women in the scene, I personally have not gotten my ass        
   seriously kicked by a girl while shooting the line on the top sites.  I   
   still think that if you're a girl, it shouldn't matter, if you can keep   
   up with the elites then you gotta be good.

       I'm now fully convinced that I've become a chicken!  Maybe an elf,    
   but I'm not going to bother with the details on that.  But I did go ALL   
   the way this time, guys, so fear not, and don't get too excited either.   
                                                                             
       It all started one day when I was with Mr. Bitching at the Lancaster  
   Mall here in Salem, Oregon.  I met his cousin there at the main office    
   of Lancaster Mall.  We were about to go to a movie, I think it was        
   Twister.  Of course, I hadn't seen it, that's why I decided to go along   
   since it's my personal goal to see every high-rated movie that exists on  
   this planet.  Well, his cousin struck my attention when I met her, she    
   closely resembles Pamela Anderson.  VERY closely resembles her.  Hell,    
   if she got some implants, she would BE Pamela Anderson.  Anyway, it       
   wasn't until later that anything happened between us.                     
                                                                             
       Where it all started was at her temporary location (more on this      
   later) at her grandmother's house.  We were in the old van just talking   
   about whatever it is we were talking about, that of which completely      
   escapes me at this point.  But I decided then and there that I had a      
   certain affection for her, so I had to find some way to get her.  The     
   next day, that happened.                                                  
                                                                             
       We were at Mr. Bitching's house and Mr. Bitching was assailing us     
   with many rubber bands.  He was armed with a handy-dandy 9mm-like         
   rubber-band pistol.  I think it was a Smith & Wesson, I could be wrong.   
   I had my trusty 6 shooter with 1 band left.  Tara (the "girl") was        
   sitting on the bed next to me, and I was more or less protecting her      
   from Mr. Bitching's savage onslaught.  Later on, about 30 minutes after   
   the beginning of the assault, I looked over to see what exactly she was   
   doing, and noticed (finally) that her head was on my shoulder and that    
   she had her hand on my leg.  Well, this led me to a few interesting       
   thoughts, especially as another rubber band slammed into the side of my   
   head.  I decided, "Well, shit, this isn't so bad," and let her continue.  
                                                                             
       So, another 15 or so minutes pass and we're holding hands, under the  
   blanket of infinite protection, with rubber bands sailing all around and  
   shit like that.  In general, a very interesting scene, if you can depict  
   it.  Well, finally we broke up the battle and her and I just stayed in    
   our current positions as Mr. Bitching went off to do something more       
   productive.  I think he was in the bathroom, I could be wrong though.     
   Old Lefty likes being in the strangest of places, I've heard.  Well, all  
   this junk went on for a while, we were mostly just talking and I was      
   trying to finger out what exactly this was leading up to.  The thoughts   
   in my mind were, needless to say, very nice.                              
                                                                             
       The next day, I went to Tara's grandmother's house to continue        
   working on a sprinkler-system we were installing for them.  A bit after   
   everybody else was concentrating on the work and everything, I went into  
   talk to her.  After the work was finished, we went and got Braveheart,    
   and Tara was officially dubbed "my pillow" for the entire movie.  Well,   
   that was all fun but not fun enough.                                      
                                                                             
       Unfortunately, now that you're getting all riled up and ready for     
   some action, nothing more happens here.  I hope this pisses you off,      
   because it pissed me off too.  So there.  The statement of hers and Mr.   
   Bitching's finally sunk in.  Tara lives in Bakersfield, California.       
   Well, that's just a happy ending to my story, ain't it?  So I broke up    
   with her, not wanting to hurt her or anything, and I guess I pissed her   
   off more than I had wanted to, because now she won't talk to me at all.   
   Well, to hell with her.  Ok, finally I've at least cooled down enough to  
   continue living, that's my adventure for the day.                         
                                                                             
       And the moral of this story is - don't start a relationship with      
   somebody who lives 1000 miles away.  The End.                             
                                                                             
   Note : This story is 100% true.  The names have not been changed to       
          protect the innocent, help your lawn grow, and especially not to

          into chickens or elves in the near future.  Please submit your

     Packaged By: Shadow Master           Game Rating: 60%                 
     
    Requirements: Pentium, 16 MEGS RAM, DOS/WIN95, 163 MEGS HD              
     
                                                                            
    This is Sierra's first entry into the world of expansions.  This is a   
    complete set of tools for Duke Nukem 3D.  Includes features such as     
    alien and level design, sound and animation creators, etc.  All new     
    single and multi player missions included as well.  Make use of Sierra  
    art to do your world designing.  This certainly looks up to typical     
    Sierra standards.  We ripped out some included sounds, but it lets you  
    make your own.                                                          
                                                                             
       The content of the above release are available without charge over    
   the Internet as well as over other online services.  Sierra On-Line has   
   no affiliation with the authors of Duke Nukem 3D, their licensees, or     
   the authors of these freely available levels.  Sierra On-Line was merely  
   the packager of these free products.                                      
                                                                             
       Furthermore, this budget CD sells for $9.99 at your local computer    
   software store such as Egghead.  How do I know?  I work at one.           
   Basically, Sierra released a lameass freeware CD to make a quick buck,    
   and Prestige decided to release the same lameass freeware CD in 48 disks  
   so that all the dumbasses out there who decide to waste 48 disks worth    
   of download time can get really pissed off at Prestige for pulling off    
   this crap.  What I don't understand is that Prestige even goes so far as  
   to rate their release a low 60%?  As far as I'm concerned, getting a 60%  
   is pretty bad.  When I get 60% on a test, that usually means that I       
   fucking flunked.  If Prestige knew that this release was a fucking        
   flunk, then why the hell release this crap?                               
                                                                             
       I also found it interesting that the nfo states, "This certainly      
   looks up to typical Sierra standards."  Wow, if that were true, then      
   Sierra must have real low standards huh?                                  
                                                                             
       Well, let's look at it on the bright side, at least this freeware     
   release is uh... fully cracked.  Keep up the good work.

    Another megahit from Reflux, this time it's 3D scroller beat'em-up     
    with georgeous gfx and state of the art sfx. It's made by Adeline,     
    creators of Little Big Adventure, and it's distributed by EA in        
    Europe and Activision in USA. If you want to know more, and see        
    things you only dreamt of, go WWW.ACTIVISION.COM and check Time        
    Commando page. It will blow your mind.                                 
                                                                           
    What was ripped? Levels 02-07 (00, 01, 08 and 09 are 100% full) are    
    just a short fights instead of long ones. Sorry, there is no way       
    to fix it. If the public demands it, we will release levels add-on.    
    Just let us know. Meanwhile, remember to leech ANIMATIONS add-on,      
    if you need a fancy stuff...

       What was ripped from yet another megahit Reflux release?  Oh, just 6  
   out of the possible 10 levels of this awesome game.  Why don't you guys   
   try to release at least HALF of the game?  You know, there are things     
   called demos that companies give out for free.  A demo of Time Commando   
   can be found on WWW.ACTIVISION.COM., neato hey?  Demos usually include a  
   few levels of the complete game, but you already knew that right?         
   Anyway, if the FBI caught me pirating this game, they probably wouldn't   
   be able to charge me with much more than pirating a demo, and last time   
   I checked, pirating demos are legal.                                      
                                                                             
       Hey, why don't you guys release the first level of Myst?  I heard     
   that Myst is a real good game.  The first level should be oh... about 40  
   disks, but heck, it's a release, and it'll live up to Reflux's            
   reputation for quality.  Good job Reflux!  Keep up the good work!

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

       RCN is proud to present to the scene the official RCN t-shirt.  We    
   tried to keep the price as low as we could so that everyone can enjoy     
   these goodies.  Keeping with RCN's volunteerish spirit to help the scene, 
   Road Rebel has decided to take it upon himself to make the RCN t-shirts   
   available to the masses.  This is a non-profit venture and we hope that   
   in many ways, RCN continues to benefit the scene.. even when we are not   
   near our computers.                                                       
                                                                             
        The RCN logo is approximately 8"x6" printed on the back of a        
         HEAVY-duty Fruit of the Loom white t-shirt, the front is plain.     
                                                                             
        A preview of the shirt can viewed upon pressing escape.             
                                                                             
        Special orders take up to 4 weeks for shipping.

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