Author : The RCN Editor Staff
Subject : Introduction : RCN Goes Biweekly
Welcome to Reality Check Network, your 1 Warez E-mag! And so wed
like to stay! To meet further reader demand, the staff has decided that
RCN will now be released on a biweekly schedule. There wont 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
dont mind if you dont want to read an entire article or interview, and
decide youve had enough in the middle, but if youre going to contact
us with a complaint, make sure you HAVE read the entire text before
doing so. It doesnt look too impressive when you complain about
something and our response to your complaint was in the body of the text
all the while, but you were too lazy to find it.
As always, thanks for reading RCN, and dont hesitate to contact us!
You can either join channel RCN on the EFNet IRC network, or email us
at an385786@anon.penet.fi.

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 MSGs also. In
about 30 minutes I get killed by MikeySoft.
*** You were killed by MikeySoft irc2.uiuc.edu!*.texas.net
ircd.texas.net !*.kern.com jnl@204.212.36.8
!phx-ip2-131.getnet.com! MikeySoft TakeOver/Flooding Retard
With that kill, they get the channel back. By the way, what rights
has an IRCop to kill you for takeovers?! I mean, there isnt such thing
as OWNING CHANNELS! They shouldnt 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!!!
*** ERROR Closing Link: TwiztahN/A@wn-brn18.sat.net irc2.uiuc.edu
Killed MikeySoft Flooding Fool
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.
*** You were killed by prae irc2.uiuc.edu!*.texas.net ircd.texas.net
!*.kern.com jnl@204.212.36.8 !topaz.kern.com! prae it gave me a
woody, personally
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? Thats what we do, and if I get killed I dont really care but it
should be REASONABLE, not some fucking excitement for you IRCops. If
I were an IRCop, Id kill only if I see a fucking flooder or something,
but as I didnt flood you nor others, what the fuck do you want from
me?!!?!? By the way, heres a big FUCK YOU to Incarnate the gay
shitface.

Dear RCN,
I am writing to you in response to issue 22s 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 doesnt 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 TRCs 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 its 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,
Cool Guy
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 TRCs 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 wasnt 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, Ill
be the first to cover it, and that is in no way being biased.

Dear RCN,
Hi, Im Karzy. Im 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 its annoying. I mean, it seems
like you cant 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 dont 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.
Its even gotten to the point now that you can be kick/banned off a
channel for offering the wrong stuff. If you dont 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 cntrlgd a
million times and flooded just to be lame because they wouldnt get
kicked. The moral of the story is, ops, try to take things a little
more lightly.

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 dont
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 thats the
only right thing to do. Remember, if everyone got the stuff for free,
there wouldnt 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 Refluxs claim that it was more than 50 disks so it
shouldnt count as a real release, your release is too! Bermuda
Syndrome isnt much fun to play without all the addons, and if you add
those onto the 50 disk total of Bermuda Syndrome, its way over 60
disks.
Reflux claims that its a new version. If so, WHY NOT RELEASE A
FUCKIN PATCH?? Because theyre 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 releases credibility, I have lost all faith in them. I now
agree with all of Rebel Chickens criticism of ROR and Reflux, it is all
viable. This last mistake should prove it.
As for most peoples treatment of FBI, I may no longer be a member,
but I still have respect for them. They werent 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 mans job, that is shit. It doesnt 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 didnt 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,
Youre going to be shocked when you read this reply. Dont take it
personally, it is not directed at you. Its 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.
Ive been wanting to publish it for a while now, and it has absolutely
nothing to do with warez, but its something Ive got to say and get
e-mail back about, so people, dont 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 its 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 didnt.
One issue of Seventeen and the other I dont remember. Sorry guys, we
didnt 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. Ill tell you
right now, I definitely would NOT have minded treating those women as
sex toys heheheh but theres no way they can try to tell me that theyre
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 dont
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 womens level in society.
Right about now all the womens 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 dont.
I dont know, Ive never sexually molested a woman, and dont
particularly plan on it, but others have, and I dont doubt that
magazine covers such as the ones Im speaking of had some part in it.
So food for thought, and note that Im not justifying Mike Tyson here,
hes got the smallest knowledge : size of brain ratio Ive ever seen.
Would he really have patted that babe on her butt if she werent wearing
something so revealing? When you invite people to a party, you cant
expect to kick them out when they show up at your door, and when you
invite trouble, you cant expect to kick its hand off your ass.
AAAAAND right about now the whole scene thinks Im insane. Oh well.

Dear RCN,
OK, lets get over with : great magazine, doing a fine job, made all
other magazines disappear, nice graphics, just lost that ugly intro you
did in RCN-21 and 22!!!!
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 dont give a damn! As long
as he releases stuff and he does release stuff then go ahead!
Im 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 dont 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, Im happy, and Ill 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.

God-Ion
Dear God-Ion,
I dont 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 Im 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 Im 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 didnt 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 couldnt
not publish it. And do you know WHY he published it to the scene
independently and didnt submit it to RCN? Because he has no balls and
didnt want to see the answer. Too bad he saw it anyway.

Dear RCN,
Wassup Everyone! This is just a little something Id 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 dont remember, I was the one who constructed
the groups 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, Id become a member and have access to all their sites. I wasnt
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 sites. 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 wouldnt 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 members 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 wasnt 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 -oed and was wondering why. I messaged Acidplain, and he said he
didnt need me any longer because they had received a new diz and didnt
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 DCCs 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 dont
ask me how, he doensnt 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 Im 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...

Dear RCN,
I wont bore you with the usual kudos. You guys are incredible.
Im frankly amazed at the amount of data and expertise you dudz put in
each mag. I just dont know how you do it. Needless to say, since
issue 19, Im a latecomer, but very hooked on your publication.
Two comments. One, is it me or does your website links go nowhere?
Whats up with that?
Second, Ive 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 theyre 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
wont 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 its not their fault. Heres a piece of
his work :
I guess it is not the release groups fault if the programmers these
days are not making quality programs... have some pride and dont
release How To Type Faster Part 5 when they know people dont use it.
When I read this, I thought to myself But it is the release groups
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 Id like to say that your mag is the best. Being a coder
myself, I find that Xenons code is really good NO, I wont request
code as I dont 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 doesnt 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 dont know shit about modems or even computers. They run
their little board on Renegade, call everyone who doesnt run on
Renegade lame yeah, right, PCB rules but you cant config it they
say. HA! and such. They are litterally killing the board scene here.
You dont 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 ma te
tuer means go to hell, you arent worth shit and Im gonna kill ya...
You see what I mean?
Now I dont 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 whats to do? Most people dont
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 Id prefer if I didnt have my 4 megs quota. This gets
overcrowded boards, kiddoes dont 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 cant 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 Im a lamer. Come on...

Dear RCN,
This is a letter in reply to Da Phreaks 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 doesnt know how
hard coding can be. Im sure hes 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! Lets look at some very
elementary probability:
Lets assume this last scene from a well known 3D game is 200k:
200x1024204800 bytes
204800x81638400 bits
21638400 REALLY BIG.
So you see, its a bit bigger than 1 : 1 000 000 000.
Now before someone calls me a hypocrite for saying all this, Id
just like to say that I accept how much work programmers put into their
games. I accept Im a ciminal. I just dont care. :-

Dear RCN,
Xenon, I am a coder, and I want to ask you if you actually coded all
the stuff yourself, or you used other peoples code. Lets say Tyrian
the game, was it coded all by you?!? I cant 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
where I might find interesting PASCAL and ASM sources for games except
ftp.cdrom.com Id be happy to know. Thanks. Keep up the good job.

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

and others can enjoy reading, no crap like they shovel out in The New

Dear RCN,
This letter is partly in response to Ermacs 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 dont 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 wont 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 wont 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 its not THAT beneficial timewise.
Now, I dont 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 Im rebuilding my board from a hard drive crash, and
dont have much time on my hands between that and work, so BBS trading
is all I can do.
Finally, Id like to address Ermacs 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 dont 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, Im glad to see trading picking up because of IRC, but
many people ask me why I dont just move my board to real fast, and
leech off IRC all day. The reason is, its too easy. Again, no
competition and no ratios. Thats why sites and boards gain the
importance they do. Most TRUE traders get the files off the whqs 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 arent even that
great to begin with.
I guess it is not the release groups fault if the prgrammers these
days are not making quality programs to crack but I do think they should
have some pride and dont release How to Type Faster Part 5 when they
know people wont 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!

Subject : Introduction : AMN vs. RISC
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 groups 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. Well 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 Devasts ideas to go with RISC. Ryus
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 Ryus site.
Pand So the actual site is like in Ryus 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 Ryus 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. Its
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 Devasts 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.

Subject : Ryu Loses His Site
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
and decide for yourself.
Session Start : Thu Aug 01 02:05:53 1996
Devast Ryu has been removed from The Doughnut Hole staff.
Revolver What the fuck for!?!
Devast The Doughnut Hole is now the Razor WHQ.
Revolver What the fuck for!?!
Devast I didnt want to remove him from the staff.
Revolver I want to know all the decisions that have been made since
the phone call with Ryu. I want to know every detail, and
this will be logged.
Devast Ryu said, If the site drops Amnesia, I am gone.
Revolver Why has the site dropped Amnesia?
Devast We had a vote on whether or not to drop Amnesia and Ryus 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.
Revolver You are sooo damn stuck on getting rid of Amnesia! Why is
that so??
Devast Amnesia does nothing for the site. Amnesia only leeches.
Revolver I dont understand why you literally hate Amnesia.
Devast I dont hate them.
Revolver Amnesia has 4 damn traders in the top uploaders.
Devast I just dont think that The Doughnut Hole should be an Amnesia
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? Its 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, Ryus 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?
Youre 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 doesnt??
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 Youre 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?!?!

Reporter : Revolver Interviewee : Cyberjack
Subject : AMN vs. RISC Affiliation : RISC Cositeop
: So what is your position on this situation with the site and
having Ryu kicked out?
: 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 hed quit, so we kicked him out.
: Of course you did, you are in RISC. If you didnt say vote for
RISC and I was in RISC, I would get you kicked out of RISC.
: Its simple. I am trying to keep an objective point of view on
this.
: Ryu left, he was not kicked.
: 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. Im in RISC, but I
didnt quit RISC to become a cositeop on The Doughnut Hole. Its
the same thing. Im 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.
: You have a duty as a loyal RISC member to make sure that shit goes
good in RISCs direction.
: I have a loyalty as a RISC member to do whats best for RISC. So
yes, you are correct.
: Is this true? Does this alter your decision at all? Thats all I
want to know since almost all the members of the The Doughnut Hole
staff are in RISC.
: All the cositeops are RISC members. I voted to leave Amnesia
because Amnesia wasnt supporting The Doughnut Hole enough and yet
Amnesia had 15 leech accounts.
: Dont you think that alters the decision just a little itty bit
though?
: No. I told you I am being objective on this, I am not letting my
being in RISC effect it.
: I just dont want this to seem like Amnesia cant 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.
: I also have a duty as a cositeop to do whats best for The
Doughnut Hole. Apparently, Amnesia cant do the job.
: What have you heard about Amnesia traders being nuked off of The
Doughnut Hole?
: I dont know everything. I just know what Im told.
: A person with cositeop access was nuking Amnesia accounts on The
Doughnut Hole.
: It wasnt me. I just nuked Amnesia once, and maybe a few other
people that I didnt know of and who werent on BBX. I was told
to nuke them though.
: Who instructed you to nuke accounts?
: Ryu is out and were going independent or with RISC.
: Who instructed you to nuke accounts? Who do you think is the
leader of The Doughnut Hole? Who does ALL the work and is
responsible for its stature?
: Its a group thing. We all do the same there is no leader.
: I have logs from Devast that state otherwise.
: The Doughnut Hole is a group thing, not a one man effort. No one
man can make it what it is today.
: Devast claims that he brought in all the affiliations for the
site.
: Believe what you want...
: Devast claims that he started the whole site and is the leader of
it all. He claims sole responsibility for making the site what it
is today.
: Ill talk to you tomorrow.

Subject : AMN vs. RISC Affiliation : n/a
: I just dont understand your tie to the site, and what gives you
such power in the decision making of it?
: I run it. Its as simple as that. I made it what it is now and I
will make it 1. I do all the work that I consider running it. I
got people to trade on it.
: Seriously, Ryu brought in the affiliations. He did the work and
now youre taking credit for it and I think that what youre
trying to do is bullshit.
: I brought in the affiliations, not Ryu. I was the one to get the
site into Prestige and PWA, and Razor.
: You say that YOU, Devast, solely took all the initiative and got
PWA and RAZOR to come to The Doughnut Hole ALL by YOURSELF?!?
: 95 yes.
: I have a hard time believing that.
: I was going to do it on some other machine, but Ryu offered me to
do it on his.
: So you put the box on your desk with the t1 one and the hardware
and all?!?!
: The connection is not a problem any more.
: You have quite a big ego if I do say.
: I could start 50 sites right now.
: Then do it, I would like to see you do it. You seem like quite a
bit of talk.
: I did do it with Coolio. I found him in 1.5 hours. :
: Welp, I will leave it at this. There is no point in arguing and
after this is reviewed by Ryu and you will have to hear from him
tommorrow.
: I am sure I will hear from him.

Reporter : Rebel Chicken Interviewee : Aslan
Subject : A Retired Legend Affiliation : ex-Malice VP
: While in the scene, what groups have you been a part of? And what
were your positions in those groups?
: 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.
: What foundations did this group hold which makes up the true
scene?
: 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.
: What happened after you joined FC, when did you take leave for
other courier groups?
: 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.
: What were your duties in RTS, and what did you accomplish while in
RTS?
: 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
Dorians 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.
: How did you want to run Malice differetly? What did you have in
mind that would have made Malice stand out above the rest?
: 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.
: How was Malice dominant while you were leading it at its peak?
: 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.
: Should... but something unfortunate did happen to Malice. What
turned your friendly Malice members into bitter Malice members?
: 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.
: Do you have plans to ever come back to Malice once you have
finished your Ph.D.?
: Well, that would be in 3 years time haha, I really cant say. I
do give some advice where needed, but I am tired of it all, and
warez just doesnt 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.
: Which field is your doctoral degree in?
: My Ph.D. thesis will cover the development and the application of
the Information Superhighway for the benefit of the people with
special needs.
: I have a special need for warez. You can interview me for your
doctoral thesis. And I can go grab Darkhosis, hell 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?
: Haha, Aslan... well, if youre 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.
: 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?
: The current state, well, thats 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 its 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.
: So, if the scene is saturated, does that mean that it is GOOD or
BAD for the scene?
: Well, maybe a new blood will bring new attitudes, proving to
people that they dont 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 arent elite, you have to be lame. All
I can say is, the scene embraces those who believe in the right
ideology. Thats 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.
: Mind you Trite is no longer a part of RCN, and is no longer
allowed to submit articles to RCN. :
: 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.
: And a Win 95 Beta... is there anything you would like to say to
the scene before we adjourn?
: 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 dont,
then we will be the final destructors of a hobby in which we all
participate and enjoy. Remember, its only a hobby guys and
girls. Oh yeah, hi Steve, Duncan, Robert, Gary, Andreas, Philip,
Marten, Tom, Justin, and everyone who knows me. :

Subject : Prestige Senior Cracker Affiliation : Prestige Cracking
: 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?
: Ive 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.
: Wasnt FairLight a group that specialized in releasing floppy
games? What happened after the floppy games scene died out?
: 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...
: Because you have been in the scene for such a long period of time,
and because youve 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?
: Ive 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 dont
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 arent many good crackers
around that can do the job. It wont be worth ripping the games
in the future.
: Even if games get bigger in size, isnt it also logical to assume
that transfer speeds between end downloaders will also increase at
the same rate? According to Kryptos 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?
: The scene will never die out totally, but it will be totally
different and as we already can see the quality isnt going to be
the most important goal. I think the scene will survive 6-7 more
years and then die out.
: When you speak that, quality isnt 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?
: 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. Its 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 wasnt like
that back in the floppy days, since you would get the *WHOLE*
game.
: 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?
: 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 dont receive the whole game,
and when you know youre cutting on the quality when ripping the
game, you dont 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.
: How did these two scenes which were originally one, split off into
two?
: Since the values changed, a good release isnt 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 dont work a lot on one game/release.
But a good demo might take over a year of work!

Subject : Fucking the Scene Affiliation : n/a
: Hello, Ive heard some things that I was wondering if you could
confirm for me? Ive heard that youve been framing other people
and taking down warez sites. Is this true?
: Yes, quite exciting stuff!
: Why are you doing this?
: Its fun, VERY FUN!
: Its Fun? Youre sitting in channels Freewarezdcc and Warez666,
snagging what you can Im sure, so why are you hurting the scene?
Why dont you try helping the scene?
: Because thats not fun. Its fun to see them squirm as I delete
all their files after downloading them for my personal use.
: Are you a cop?
: No. Cops usually leave the evidence for the FBI in the big
situations. Cops dont delete sites.
: Uh huh... how is it that you can bypass security which would keep
you from deleting files?
: Ok, well, Ill be publishing this in this weeks issue of RCN 24,
is there anything you would like to say to the scene in general?
: Yes, there actually is.
: Please do...
: 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.
: 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 youve hurt?
: I think its upwards close to a thousand sites. Its 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!
: What about big name courier groups? Have any luck with those?
: 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.
: 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
dont you just get out of the warez scene and buy the software
that sparks your interest?
: 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.
: I see, but in a sense, you do the same thing as everyone else, so
you too are supporting the scene. Without it, you wouldnt know
what to buy and what not to buy either.
: I enjoy watching the idiots search for programs, its funny as
hell. I dont care about them, I dont 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 wouldnt 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.
PuSsy is jgearon@pmx1z01.kcnet.com * Josh Gearon
PuSsy is now on nowarez4u freewarez freewarezdcc
PuSsy using Chicago-1.IL.US.Undernet.org 199.0.154.14 American
Informations Systems-Chicago
One day, as I was checking my site lists, I came across a deleted
site and then another and another. Its 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 thats 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 fileid.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 dont 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.

Subject : Coredump Senior Affiliation : Coredumps Success?
: Coredump is relatively new to the scene, yet it has proven in the
last few weeks that it can dish out games as well as the other
more established games groups. What has been the driving force
behind Coredumps success?
: 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 were all in it together.
: 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?
: 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.
: Has it always been Coredumps 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?
: 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.
: Coredump has made some mistakes in the past, and I would not
consider them as small, but nonetheless, its a thing of the past,
and Coredump has most definitely improved upon itself.
: A new group is bound to make mistakes, and we can use those
mistakes as something that we will not let happen again.
: On the note of Quake, wasnt that already released by 2 other
games groups before Coredump released its version? Could
Coredumps version of Quake be a dupe?
: ROR supposedly released Quake Final, but it wasnt even the final.
RORs release of Quake cant be put in the same category as
Coredumps release. Were 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.
: A good job to Razor? Thats a good attitude to have, however, I
dont 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?
: 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.
: 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 Razors release of Quake was a
dupe? After all, Razors release of Quake was uploaded to all the
major boards.
: Yes, thats 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: 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?
: Coredump hopes to establish itself as a quality releasing power in
the scene, and to continue releasing good games. I cant tell
right now how long we will last, but we wont be short lived.

Subject : AOD+LGTMore LGT Affiliation : Lightning Senior
: I recently found that the courier group Lightning has nearly
doubled in size in a short week, what was the cause of this?
: Yes, about 3 days ago, AOD Angles of Death merged with Lightning
to cause an increase in members.
: 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?
: Well, from what I know, AOD decided to merge due to the fact that
they werent getting noticed by the scene and werent couriering
enough to keep them as a group. The merge happened because they
had no place to go or couldnt move forward because they werent
competing with any other of the courier groups in the scene. I
think it was planned a few days in advance.
: 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?
: 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 wasnt really a part in helping make
the merge take place. Darksoul had a major role with getting the
merge to happen.
: How has Lightnings role in the scene changed since the merge?
Has the merge made Lightning a more respectable courier group?
: 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 well be doing a better
job on sites and offering.
: How did the merge take place, were all AOD couriers accepted into
Lightning, or did very few AOD couriers make it into Lightning?
: Most of the couriers made it into Lightning, the people who didnt
want to merge were given a chance to join, but there were very few
people who didnt 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: You freely claim that Lightning is now a new powerful force in the
scene, but what can Lightning do to back up the scenes
expectations? What makes Lightning different from the various
courier groups out there, what makes Lightning stand out?
: Well, now that we have more man power, were more able to
acomplish more goals and standards. Lightning has been
reoraganized since the merge and is ready to show what it can do.
Were 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.
: 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?
: For now, I dont think Lightning is going to open a leech channel
due to the fact that most members dont want one and also because
theres 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. Were
planning to get into more serious FTP sites and get up on the FTP
charts.
: The FTP charts, to what are you referring to?
: 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 thats 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.
Signed,

Subject : CCA Overview Affiliation : CCA President
: How did CCA Central Crime Association come about? When did you
decide to start your courier group 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: How is CCA managed, are you the sole leader of CCA? And how do
you keep things in CCA 100 organized?
: 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 dont 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.
: Your team seems to be presented very well, how did you come about
with such a strong team?
: It sort of came about as Midhacks 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 CCAs Head
Courier.
: 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 isnt 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. Its 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 dont just trade among ourselves,
we also trade with public people. And thats the truth.
: 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?
: 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. CCAs offer team frequents there very well. However, our
IRC Head Courier, manages all the things that pass through Xnet,
he is CCAs representative for Xnet, and the other groups have
their representatives as well.

Subject : Razor DUPES on Quake!? Affiliation : Coredump Senior
: What is your view on the Razor/Coredump release of Quake last
week?
: 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.
: You claim that Coredump beat Razor to the boards AND the Internet?
Ive been hearing that Coredump beat Razor to the Internet, but
NOT on boards, can you explain this?
: 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.
: 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?
: No, Razor definitely lost on the Internet. You may see it on a
few sites because the siteops dont have the balls to delete a
Razor release. Plain and simple.
: How many disks of the Coredump release made it to the Internet by
the time Razor put one disk up?
: All of them.
: REALLY???
: Yes.
: I have tested the Coredump version of Quake. Its 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 Coredumps version was uploaded first and Razors
version is a dupe? Wouldnt the siteops nuke Razors version
since it was a dupe?
: The reason for that is because most siteops dont know about
Coredump and they do know Razor. So they go with Razor because
they dont know any better. Most siteops dont have the balls to
nuke a Razor release. They just think that Razor is perfect
quality and that they never dupe. Also, Coredumps reputation has
had a checkered past so siteops that do know about Coredump are
apprehensive to leave ours on and nuke Razors.
: Are you referring to the uncracked NHL Power Play released by
Coredump as the checkered past?
: Yup...
: If you did dupe Razor, and Im not saying you did, then why did
you do it?
: 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.
: 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?
.: /. :: /: Y/96:.

CLOSE COMBAT FOR WINDOWS 95
c MICROSOFT 01/11
: Yes, the fileid.diz was messed up in the Coredump release, but
that is it. That was our one problem with the release. We tried
to go too fast and accidently included that.
: Hmmm...

Subject : Core Steals the Credit? Affiliation : NGT President
: 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?
: Because of the fact that he claims Core started it, when they did
not. This has happened several times, I dont 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.
: 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?
: 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.
: 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?
: 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
isnt 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.
: 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?
: 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, thats how it should be known.
However, Stank-e is making this very hard, by spreading
misinformation.
: Well, thank you for your time, and for giving your side of the
story Dee.
: No, thank you. I hope this interview will clear up all the
misinformation out there spread by Stank-e. :

Subject : Beyond Akira Busted!
Everybody in the 416 and 905 area codes should be keeping a look out
for a while. Ive 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 arent 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.
Digitex Where is your information coming from?
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 dont 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, thats it for the comments. Here are some of my own
speculations on this. If its 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 its 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
youre 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 Fortresss of the
Great Pharoahs they attacked the Pyramids 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 HDs 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 BALLs 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 its 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 well 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 MONKEYS 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 HDs and to make matters worse they think
they are SPECIAL what a bunch of WAZZOOs anyone now with an Internet
account is a pirate...that makes it a SELECT FEW doesnt it there was a
certain RESPECT from the older PIRATES 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. Todays 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 Sites make it hard for the pigs to find them, to quote an old
saying
LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS
keep your mouths shut

Subject : RCN Source Code?
*** 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, its gay, and theres a virus in it. But aside from
that, no biggie.
Grimm I used it, theres 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 Xenons
coding. Xenon is the only thing holding RCN together. Maybe
now RCN will get a clue that you guys shouldnt make fun of
people in your pathetic Mad-RCN.
AtmaWepon Trite, so, you copied the RCN compiler and you think youre
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. Its not the RCN source code. I dont
see why you fail to understand that its the RCN compiler,
not the source code.
Trite RCN is the lamest muck-raking pile of collective bullshit Ive
ever seen.
AtmaWepon Then stop reading it. Trite, how hard can it be? If you
dont like it, dont 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 youll see the RCN compiler again. After
this, well 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 doesnt stop
its Mad-RCN where it pokes fun of other people. Heh... this is
funny, you dont even realize how I got it.
*** Trite has left channel RCN
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 RCNs 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
Entropys 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 doesnt seem to be able to
leave me alone either, and he constantly messages me on IRC, Hi Rebel
Chicken, youre 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, Ill 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, itll
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, itll 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.

Subject : The Death of Razor 1911?
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 Razors 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 its the later, but dont just trust my
judgement, check out TRCs 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 its 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. Its doing better
than the previous 2 months for sure, but still, Razor loses again
to Prestige.
MadTurnip Shit, I hope Im 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
well continue to beat Razor asses into the floor.
Druidkin Ah...
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.
Druidkin Eric, I really missed your sarcasm.
TRC And dont call me by my first name you little punk. YOU dont
know ME.
Druidkin Little punk?
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 Ill 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 wasnt aware that you had any. I didnt
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 Razors ass.
Druidkin People care about quality, not quantity.
TRC Sure thing buddy, that wasnt your mantra last month, so Im
fairly certain that the only reason you havent 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 thats pretty sad. Weve 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 cant get its hands on much.
Druidkin Stick with your budget releases. People want quality, and
for that, they come to Razor.
TRC Sure, well stick with our budget, and if people want quality they
can grab the Prestige release of Links LS.
Druidkin Youve got more ego, Ill agree with that.
TRC Believe whatever you like, Prestige has got more experience
dumbass. Razors 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 dont give a
rats ass what ANYONE thinks about me in the scene. I am only in
the scene to win, and I will do so. Razors not dead yet, but it
will be by the end of the year.
TRC claims the Links LS golf game as one of Prestiges 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
dont know what kind of crack hes 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 thats 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. Lets see, at present,
its August of 1996 and Razor has been around since uh... October of
1984. Lets see now, who here thinks Razor will last a few more months
hey? Dont 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 TRCs track record, nearly every
games group hes 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..

Subject : An Overview of Core
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 itd 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
cant 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.
Cores 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 isnt 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 thats acceptable, but I
dont 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 wont just
disappear from the scene in a few weeks, its here, and its here to
stay. Cores 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 dont play a team game. Core has
an intricate working team, yes a team. Everyone has a job, and they do
that job. If someone doesnt 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 wont 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 Id been through the whole gestapo
interrogation before, and to skip it. I really wasnt 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 havent
been told that before or nothing, and gave me a smoke. :
Ok, I thought, hes going to go the Im 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 couldve 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 wasnt 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 friends 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, Im
only 15, the worst they can do to me is put me in juvie until Im 18.
I explained to him several times that I was already on Intense Probation
for felony convictions, and that if I was arrested, Id go to the joint
for several years, and he would be dead once I got out. Unfortunately,
that didnt stop him from rolling over on me for one second. So, to put
it all in perspective :
1. If youre of legal age, NEVER trust a minor. NEVER NEVER NEVER!
2. If youre already on probation, stick to warez, much safer.
3. NEVER talk on the phone about anything illegal if theres 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 cant 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
they want, legal or otherwise. They have the resources and
tools to place bugs, laser listeners, and shit youve never
heard of.

cca release day: 08/02/1996
Disclaimer: This release of Winnt 4.0 final is for academic use only,
If you need winnt workstation 4.0 final build 1381 for commercial use,
contact Microsoft corporation.
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 cant 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 Microsofts reputation,
Microsoft emailed someone at the University requesting more information
on the supplier. This email had the fileid.diz attatched to it to show
proof of the grounds of their claims. I havent 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 Microsofts 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 youre 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.

Subject : 5 Years from Present
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 Im 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 ADD 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 hearts content until we had either
maxxed out our 270 meg hard drive or sucked up everything they had to
offer. I didnt 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 whos 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, weve 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 theyre 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 doesnt 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 groups 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
fail. Any rule which does not honor this reality will be scoffed at and
ignored. Any group that does not observe this as their core purpose
will be relegated to insignificant.
Just one mans opinion.

Subject : Napalm Disbands
The following is a letter by Prophet, leader of Napalm :
Hey! Ive really bad news for everyone! Ive decided to kill
NAPALM. As of now, it has been announced already. Sorry guys, but I
FUCKING LOVED NAPALM AND LOVED working with EVERYONE!! Im so sorry for
this to happen.
Signed,
Prophet
It always saddens me to see a great group go down. In Napalms 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 Ill 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, Id 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!

Subject : Guild Merge
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.

Subject : Dam! Wheres TDU-JAM!?
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 groups
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 dont think I ever got a copy of a
TDU-JAM! release that didnt 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, dont even try. Im not trying to sound like a bastard or
anything, but its not worth our time and effort to download something
that will not work especially when its 50+ disks big. And it does
hurt the scene.

Subject : As a Member, You Should...
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 dont
really care. All that shit aint that important to me. So far, Ive
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, Ive 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 Acidplains case while he was a leader in Legion I told him off
and then decided to drop the group because I didnt want to stick around
and put up with his ass. Eventually, Acidplain got kicked out of Legion
thanks to RCN because he sucked! Heres where the strange powertrip
shit comes in in Marbzs 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 hes king or something. So from that point on I saw him as a dick
and he still is a fucking dick.
Heres 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, Im sorry, I was just doing my job. I
wouldnt 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 didnt 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 persons 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 youre in
doesnt give him the right to talk loud shit to you. If you had
any pride, youd tell that nigga off!
2. If you dont 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 thats true, youre a little sell out with no life. It
also shows the leader that he can do that shit again and again,
and he wont hesitate to do it either.
3. Only treat people with the respect that they treat you with.
Remember, they arent your parents!
4. Stay true to your real friends and dont ever fuck them over.
Thanks for paying attention and try to remember this. Even if its
not that clear, try to understand where Im 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 companys 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 theres 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 youre currently using which will make
carding an extremely unsafe game to play. But thats 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 arent 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 cant 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 cant 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 hells 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
dont 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.

Subject : Software Piracy
Hi guys! Im 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
cant really make the person jump up and down, light his/her hair on
fire and run through the street yelling, Im a gerbil! Dont 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 hes pretty much fucked anyway. If
the person uploads something that is maybe public domain or shareware,
just kick them off. They probably wouldnt be any use to you anyway.
Even in the event that somebody uploads something pirated to your
BBS/site and you dont 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 isnt being uploaded.
Now, onto the part about piracys 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 youre 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.
Its 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 Microsofts 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 dont allow trades of
software, even of the same type, the person who bought the software is
out of luck. Hes 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 dont all countries do it? That is a problem I cannot understand.
The companies dont want people pirating their software, yet the people
over in say, Amsterdam, can freely distribute it, since theres no FBI
there, to my knowledge.
In closing, Id just like to say that software DOES cost too much to
be thrown around like its 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 cant 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 wasnt 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, dont 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.

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

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

Rating scale :
0-19/100 In a nutshell, it sucked!
20-39/100 Still crap but slightly better.
40-49/100 Possibly worth downloading.
50-69/100 Pretty decent game. Might want to check it out.
70-79/100 Worth the download if you like that type.
80-89/100 Very good, 9 outta 10 its worth the download.
90-99/100 Excellent game, a MUST download.
100/100 HOLY SHIT IVE NEVER SEEN A BETTER GAME!
RATINGS are based on the game idea, graphics, sound, playability,
ingenuity, versatility, and a lot of other words ending in ity. These
games are based on what happens on MY COMPUTER ONLY, unless stated
otherwise. I always first follow NFO directions, and if those dont
work or are not available, I then try other ways. So just b/c it
doesnt work for me, doesnt mean it wont work for you.

iMMORAL CUMBAT c 3D XXX REALiTY 01/04
tZ!
IMMORAL CUMBAT iS A FANTASY ADULT
ADVENTURE GAME. ENJOY THE QUALiTY!
If you havent played the older versions of this classically bad
game, then you should check it out for a laugh. Its 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 didnt 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.

Interactive Preview CD
01/08
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, its pretty much exactly like Mechwarrior. Nice graphics, and
layout for a demo, with pretty much all the options. If you want to see
what its like so when the full version comes out you can see if itll
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 its 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 Its um, like stuff with death and destruction.
Butthead Uhhh, no. You dumbass, thats the name of the group.
Beavis Oh yeah, heheheh, I knew that. So like whats it about?
Butthead Its 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 its 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. Its stupid.
Beavis Oh I see. How come youre so smart Butthead?
Butthead Uhhh, I read this magazine TGR, it like tells me everything.
Beavis Ahh so thats what you do when youre 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.
RATING : 34/100
Albion demo version 1.37
ALBION *ENGLISH* c BLUEBYTE 01/42
r e f l u x !
Note : Demo was released and then a day later the full was out.
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. Its the usual plot of your space ship landing on some
strange land inhabited by other cretures/people. Game gets boring
quick. You have an eagles eye view over the land and people. Not much
to say, not so hot, dont know why Reflux thought it was the best game
this year, because its 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, youve got 3 choices of vehicles, and after that its
Terminal Velocity in a car. Well, not as good as TV, but you get the
idea.

Monster Truck Madness Beta 2 01/21
: : : Cr
Not bad. Its 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. Ill 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. Dont 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 its a beta and has a
couple problems.

This is what the pc.nfo reads :

Have fun!

This is what the pAth0s.nfo reads :
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, itll do really neat things! Blah.. this wasnt just
an infected file, the whole .com file is a virus, meaning it was
intentionally spread. Youd think they woulda put a nice polymorphic in
there or something. A couple zit faced 13 year old FUCKS probably made
this shit. Didnt get me though bitch, I scan everything before I run
it, like any other sane mofo would. Heh, Im starting to build quite a
nice little collection of virii. I could try running the game itself
but I wouldnt touch this thing with a 286.

Well, not a whole hell of a lot to say about this, all you do is
answer questions basically. And thanks to about 5000 .wav files,
theres voice in it. I swear it took me about 7 minutes to delete all
those .wavs. Oh well, this ones pretty boring, nothing major, and you
probably wont wanna grab this.
POINTS : 48 - Pretty boring, plain and simple.

Well, I didnt want to have to do this, but GOTW goes to, you
guessed it, CD/RZR for both of their same releases of QUAKE. Im glad
this shit is finally out so I can stop listening to all you whining over
it, because now you all can see how much it sucks compared to Duke Nukem
3D. Anyway, congrats to both groups if one of you feels you can not
fulfill the duties, then the crown will be given to the runner up and...
oh shit thats a beauty pageant.

Holy Cow -Phil Rizuto. Yes, Holy Cow, holy pigs, and HOLY SHIT.
Man, this game is sweet as sugar. Its 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 doesnt 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 youll soon see
it aint 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 weve gotten to a really good baseball game that was
actually a GAME and not so statistical. Its not impossible to hit the
ball, and the game follows no boring nintendo like patterns where you
can always steal or stuff like that Ive 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, its 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. Its 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 aint too hot,
lots of different settings inside the game, but its 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. Its got shitload of
.maps, most of which were already released in Nuke It and other misc.
packagings. It includes an install which doesnt 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 its a total waste of space and time to download.
Even if youre a die hard Duke Nukem 3D fan, dont waste your precious
life.

This review brought to you by the letter C, K, and a close friend of
Z, Mr. Y. This game closely compares to CC, but it just lacks the
faster paced action that CC 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 youve 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 its 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 dont 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 isnt on the
CC level, but it tries to be.

Wow, I was impressed by the looks of this game. Although its more
fighting than it was using your brain, its 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 thats what this game is like, except
its 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. Its really fun to play, but there are only a few
levels because of the large size. Also dont use the Reflux installer,
I think its 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, its still a nice step in technology and looks cool to show off
to people. There was also an animation pack, which will get its 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:
VSINSYEA and TWXPPGGA or RDDXBPGA.

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.
POINTS : 61 - After all, its only 3 disks, especially if you like
Tetris.

SLIDERS FOR WIN 95 c MALACHITE 1/2
Heh.. a nifty little game for a 4 year old maybe. I dunno why
Napalm released this, slippin?? At any rate, its just like those
little slider puzzle games you used to get at the doctors office for
not crying when he jams that 6 needle up your ass. The only thing that
halfway didnt 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 theres combat stuff in it too? Maybe because theres a
different type of strategy involved? Dunno. Theres 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 wasnt ripped in case you cant figure out how to do
something.
The music is pretty cool, the graphics are about like any other
SimXXX game, and netplay wasnt ripped either. A little side note,
Ionizer couldnt 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 Razors 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.
Ionizers Note : NFO said it would run in Win3.1, but it didnt.
POINTS : 25 - Not a missprint, see the next review.
IRQ57 01/04
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 cant 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. Id 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 Im 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.

Hoyle Internet Blackjack v1.1.0.4
I tried this a week or 3 ago, and it wouldnt install. This one
however does, looks to be exactly like the regular Hoyle blackjack. I
couldnt get it to play non-inet, it would immediately look for the
network presence and completely crap out if it didnt find it. Since
Ive got better things to than to load up the shitty ppp crap on my
system and try this, Ill just give it a n/a.
POINTS : n/a - Looks to be working this time, but no non-net play.
Mission Force: CyberStorm c SSI 1/24
::d::::::./.:.::::::::::
Sure its 24 disks... if you got a leet ass 2.88 floppy drive. So in
order to install this and keep the zips, youll need 373 megz. Yeah,
yeah, so its under the 50 disk limit, big deal. Doesnt mean that it
doesnt suck. Actually, the game itself wasnt entirely too awful, but
it was a really shitty rip and not worth the download time. You cant
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 isnt one of those 1st person
3d mech games either, its 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 wasnt 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.
Special werd up goin out to RCN for the spot in the mag, Ionizer for the
spot in TGR among other things, The Libertarian Party keep fighting
for FREEDOM!, and the rest of you all trying to better the scene in
some way.
-** THE GAME OF THE WEEK **-
This weeks GOTW on this early release of TGR goes to RAZOR, for

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

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

Points :
-3 The util didnt work and a crack/fix was not released within 72
hours. The group may regain the 3 lost points by releasing a crack
or fix, even beyond the 3 day period.
1 The util was a dupe or freeware,
2 Unsatisfactory,
3 Average,
4 Above Average, and
5 Excellent!
A group may lose points the following week and have their releases
labeled as broken thus receiving the proper amout of points. If the
group has released a fix between the two issues, well give them credit
accordingly. If a group releases a fix within a 3 day period, the
util will be rated as if it worked in the first place, thus getting the
3 points it lost back and any points it would have earned. If a group
releases a fix after the 3 day period has expired, it will receive its 3
points back, but get no more. Betas may receive no more than 3 points.

Subject : Explosives : Muric Acid Bomb
Well, this is my first of hopefuly many articles that I will be
writing for RCN! So if this kinda starts to suck just stay with me
because I will try to do my best explaning how to make many explosives
of destruction. Anyway, lets get on to the good stuff! This bomb was
orignated by me, Pawn, so I should be able to explain this pretty well.
Materials
2-Liter Bottle Like a Coke Bottle
Aluminum Foil
Squirt Bottle Not Required
Muric Acid Muric or Hydrocloric Acid
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.
-- 2 to 3 inches
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-holders name doesnt 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 wasnt 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, youll
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. Dont ask
how, thats 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 dont go there. All I saw were
whimps who couldnt 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, Ive coded my own program to do this in my
spare time, its 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 dont 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 persons 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 neighbors 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 dont 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 neighbors
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 friends 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 dont 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 doesnt 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 :
3xxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx American Express / Diners Club
4xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx Visa
4xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Visa
5xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx MasterCard
6xxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Discover
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 :
American Express- None.
Visa - PV instead of CV. Note, you must have the
cardholders name to verify a PV.
MasterCard - An asterix can signify a gold card, but this
changes depending when the card was issued.
THe following is a dialog between a carder and the phone operator to
help you get the idea :
Operator American Computer Goods, may I help you?
Carder Hi, I would like to place an order please.
Operator Sure, what would you like to order?
Carder 20 zip disks and a 1 gigabyte drive.
Operator Ok, is there anything else?
Carder No thank you, thats all for today.
Operator Ok, how would you like to pay for this? MasterCard or Visa?
Carder Visa.
Operator And your name is?
Carder Justin M. Kalina. Name on card
Operator And your Visa card number is?
Carder 4240-419-001-340 Invalid card
Operator Expiration date?
Carder 08-96.
Operator And where would you like the package shipped to?
Carder 49 Shongum Road, Randolph, NJ 07869.
Operator And what is your home telephone number?
Carder 201/328-8405 This number is actually usually busy
Operator I will also need your business phone number in case we have
to reach you.
Carder You can reach me at the same number. 201/328-8405
Operator Ok, thank you very much and have nice day.
Carder Excuse me, when will the package arrive?
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, thats your problem. I personally have my boys
do the job for me. I run my own little ring of carders.
Recognizing Credit Cards
Sample: American Express
MM/Y1 THRU MM/Y2 Y1
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
XXXX AAA DD-MM-YY MM/YY
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
MM/YY MM/YY*Visa
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 Ive 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 dont do stuff over 2,000 worth, so I can
honestly tell you that Ive 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, its 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.
Id 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, thats 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 cant have everything. Im 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, its 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 dont know what else to say about... you know.
Make something up. To a certain Nicole, Ive 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. Id 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. Dont get mad. :

Subject : Fake Account Generators
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. Radiators AOLSD would have probably worked, but there
was one problem. They didnt 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 UGKs died and the AOL crackdown of fake accounts.
This was password protected so the certificate stuff lasted a while. It
wasnt anything like Skitzos. You could easily hex Magik, but Skitzos
was a password that wasnt even near the question area. This made it a
lot harder to crack. Skitzos 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 Skitzos FAC. I heard its supposed to
work, but Ive never gotten hold of it. A number of other FACs were
supposed to work, but Ive 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 :
Forwarded message:
Subj: Your OverHead Account
Date: 96-06-18 04:50:39 EDT
From: Steve Case
To: TOSAdvisor
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 users 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 youre 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 youll be set. Also, distribute this as
you see fit. Goodbye for now, John.
Signed,
Steve Case
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 dont
let you watch the real part? Because theyre just a bunch of pussies
that want to steal passwords. I got a CowBoyz version of Descent2 and
it didnt work. Im sure that this does not work either. If you want a
real OverHead account generator, use the official AOL one, it doesnt
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.

Welcome to Dear Road Rebel! This is going to be YOUR column that is
a cross between Dear Abby and Dave Berry. The most important part of
this is YOUR participation. If you have ever had a question about the
scene or just a comment, heres the place! Have you ever wanted to know
why some people do this or that? ASK! I would love to take it to the
extreme for you and we will be happy to research it! I hope you have as
much fun with this as I will! Remember, this is YOUR column!
Dear Road Rebel,
First, Id 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 dont 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 ATT, 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 Im sorry to
say. But, I have to disagree with some things you said about DALNet
last issue but Ill have to start a new paragraph first.
I traveled DALNets 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
bots 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 /msgd 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 wouldnt bother starting a trade channel on
EFNet because, quite frankly, they really are not in short supply of
them!
Signed,
Taiji Hide
Dear Taiji Hide,
Well quite a letter.... I havent 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 isnt growing up, if
they let warez people do their thing they would probably explode to
life.
Signed,
Road Rebel
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 whats 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. :
Signed,
NIN
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 dont like what you said
about them or their group, those are the times I wish I was on DALNet.
Signed,
Road Rebel
Dear Road Rebel,
I like DALNet much better than the three even though its smaller.
Its 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. Id love it if a lot
people went from channel RCN on EFNet and to channel Dipshit on
DALNet. I love it, plus I dont 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.
Signed,
The Fucking Nerd,
Dear The Fucking Nerd,
EXACTLY!! Preach on brother!!!
Signed,
Road Rebel
Dear Road Rebel, One thing is you CANT 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 cant
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!
Signed,
Bytes
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.
Signed,
Road Rebel

Subject : Women on the Internet
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 didnt
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! Arent you?!
I then said to myself, Uh oh... I bet shes 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 McDonalds. 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,
Id urge you to take my friends advice. Either that, or get full body
photos from the person youre talking to or you just won yourself a new
platonic friend. There is a reason why Cindy Crawfords dont 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 youre a girl, it shouldnt matter, if you can keep
up with the elites then you gotta be good.

Subject : I Turned Chicken?!
Im now fully convinced that Ive become a chicken! Maybe an elf,
but Im not going to bother with the details on that. But I did go ALL
the way this time, guys, so fear not, and dont 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 hadnt seen it, thats why I decided to go along
since its 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
wasnt until later that anything happened between us.
Where it all started was at her temporary location more on this
later at her grandmothers 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. Bitchings 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. Bitchings 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 isnt so bad, and let her continue.
So, another 15 or so minutes pass and were 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, Ive 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 Taras grandmothers 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 youre 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.
Bitchings finally sunk in. Tara lives in Bakersfield, California.
Well, thats just a happy ending to my story, aint 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 wont talk to me at all.
Well, to hell with her. Ok, finally Ive at least cooled down enough to
continue living, thats my adventure for the day.
And the moral of this story is - dont 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
further the health of the human race. I hope more people turn
into chickens or elves in the near future. Please submit your
stories.

Total Meltdown c Sierra
Cracked By: N/A
Release Date: July 30, 1996
Supplied By: The Comet
Protection Type: None
Stripped By: The Comet
Game Type: Duke Nukem Tools
Packaged By: Shadow Master
Game Rating: 60
Requirements: Pentium, 16 MEGS RAM, DOS/WIN95, 163 MEGS HD
This is Sierras 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 dont understand is that Prestige even goes so far as
to rate their release a low 60? As far as Im 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, lets look at it on the bright side, at least this freeware
release is uh... fully cracked. Keep up the good work.

...:: Release Notes ::...
Another megahit from Reflux, this time its 3D scroller beatem-up
with georgeous gfx and state of the art sfx. Its made by Adeline,
creators of Little Big Adventure, and its 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...
JdA/RLX
What was ripped from yet another megahit Reflux release? Oh, just 6
out of the possible 10 levels of this awesome game. Why dont 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 wouldnt
be able to charge me with much more than pirating a demo, and last time
I checked, pirating demos are legal.
Hey, why dont 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, its a release, and itll live up to Refluxs
reputation for quality. Good job Reflux! Keep up the good work!

NEWS/QUOTES
NEW MEMBERS
We thank the new members for showing interest and faith
in our group. We celebrate at being given the chance
to work with our new friends as we help each other
improve the reputation and news coverage of our group.
Please extend cheerful welcomes to the following :
Denial, Digitex, Helix, and Midnight Grave Digger.
QUOTES!
We do not love free speech and free movement until we
see them threatened. We will not die for them until
they are taken away. With considerable horror, we watch
men of other nations allow themselves to be robbed of
their right to their opinions. But, more insidiously,
we now accept dictated predications which we are told to
use in coming to conclusions. Those who know the
LEAST... obey the BEST. - Anonymous
The results of our hard work, often loss and pain, are
certainly outweighed by the greatness experienced along
the way. Certainly, the chance to be great, is worth
fighting for and worth the pain that so often
accompanies it. - Anonymous
On behalf of the moon, I shall sing to
Right wrongs and triumph over evil
With my friends Sailor Venus, Jupiter, Mars,
and Mercury
Well make the world
A better place for all people! - Sailor Moon

RCN is proud to present to the scene the official RCN t-shirt. We
tried to keep the price as low as we could so that everyone can enjoy
these goodies. Keeping with RCNs volunteerish spirit to help the scene,
Road Rebel has decided to take it upon himself to make the RCN t-shirts
available to the masses. This is a non-profit venture and we hope that
in many ways, RCN continues to benefit the scene.. even when we are not
near our computers.
The RCN logo is approximately 8x6 printed on the back of a
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.
Yes, I want my official RCN t-shirt!

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