View source for Mamba 24 ch02 Facts and Gossip

<pre>
  unlike in the last 23 issues, we
  decided not only to list up the facts
  about recent events, but we will
  also inform you about the gossip that
  comes along with the news, hoping to
  make it yet more interesting for you.

  the danger of printing incorrect
  news is the higher of course, but
  the reader has to make up his own
  mind anyway, when it comes to believe
  disc-magazines.
  we did never, and we will never write
  news in an incorrect way on purpose
  though.


  * elite

  the striking news of the month;
  conan decided to return to the c64
  scene. him, maniac (x-pandora) and
  sting (x-enigma) are the only known
  elite members at the moment.
  knowing that elite did always make a
  big secret about their member list,
  one could guess there might be more
  active members.
  citadell of illusion is the elite hq
  in the states, shared with the us-
  importing group glory. one first-
  release for elite so far (exile, by
  audiogenic)

  * dominators

  the dominators member status looks
  quite a bit different, there are no
  englishmen in the group anymore:
  derby ram, nme, sonic (x-icecube),
  dmc and the us-member the cure were
  kicked out. shortly before gene and
  rebel left dominators. internal
  affairs were the reason for this.
  3dk quit the c64 scene, now being in
  dom amiga. jack daniels did put out
  another issue of corruption on his
  own. also macro nit was kicked out.
  after dropping disintegration, the
  new hq is tunnel of wares XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  the new dom member status looks like
  this: tricket, cosmo, dogfriend,
        duke, animal, jack daniels,
        hulkster, silent (x-sonny)

  dominators has one release in our
  first release charts.

  * blue boxing

  blue boxing turns out to be the most-
  used way to pheak for europeans, it
  works for almost every european
  country, and common knowledge says it
  is safe. at&amp;t's lose more and more of
  their original importance.

  * genesis (victims)

  the genesis and victims cooperation
  did last for one day only, the
  victims member joined genesis, as
  there were rockstar, tronic, janec,

  who is still living in japan at the
  moment, have been kicked out.
