The ROLE-STORY written by CMR of ROLE.

History of ROLE

APRIL 1989, ROLE was born. I, CMR and
Knightrider build ROLE. In that time I
was called TBG. To build the group ROLE
was my idea, but the name ROLE was
found by Knightrider and me.

In the beginning the group was very
small and all members were living in
Belgium.
ROLE is the short name for Raiders Of
the Lost Empire.
The first members of ROLE were: TBG,
Knightrider, JGS, TCB, Iceman, Slimer
and TLF. They could be called the first
generation.
Iceman and TLF left ROLE.

The second generation of ROLE were new
members like : Feezy, Shot808, TPW, MTS
and Clouseau.
Then ROLE became international in end
1989-beginning 1990. 8 members from
Australia, 1 member from Germany and
Holland, a few more Belgians joined
ROLE.

In this beginning of 1990, ALF of ROLE
started coding a diskmag for ROLE which
was going to be released as ROCK'N ROLE.
In may 1990 ROLE released a demo called
LOOK AT ME. the demo-parts were coded by
several guys from ROLE.

In the mean time Shot808 of ROLE
changed his name into Dash.
In JUNE 1990 Witty of ROLE (Australia)
had made a lot of mistakes by giving
wrong information which was fataly for a
lot of other Australian ROLE-members,
because the decision was already taken
by ROLE HQ on advice of Witty to kick
some Australian ROLE-members who were
talking crap about ROLE. After a while
Witty wrote back that all was a mistake
and the kicked members weren't bad at
all. But it was to late already. They
were kicked and I had decided so. The
whole scene knew about the guys who
were kicked. Witty made a disaster
together with his ripped graphics (in
that time, not now). The kicked
Australian guys were : Grump, Stalker,
Annihilator, Terminator-X and Doctor.
Only a few Australian members stayed
because they had only contact with the
ROLE HQ in Belgium, not with Witty.
These very big and fatal (for innocent
guys) mistakes from Witty brought me to
decide to kick Witty out of ROLE in
September 1990.

This is history, so don't blame Witty
now for mistakes in the past. Witty had
always said that he wasn't kicked out of
ROLE, but he left ROLE. The real truth
is that I kicked him because of the
mistakes I've told you now. I think
every leader of a group would react like
me with such a big mistake. But let the
past about that rest in peace.
Everybody learns from the past, isn't
it?

Also in June 1990 I changed my name into
Commander (CMR) and JGS of ROLE left the
scene.
In July 1990 Nomad (Australia) of TGK
joined our group. Sid left ROLE to join
WOW. JYSE of TBB and Savage of Ionix
joined ROLE. The kicked ROLE-members in
Australia formed a new group pure. On
July 14th 1990, the ROLE memberstatus
looked like this: CMR, Knightrider,
ALF (ex-Acid-Crew), Apollo (ex-Legend),
Dash (ex-Cos), Radion (ex-Atrix),
Scorpio, Feezy (ex-Front 64), MTS
(ex-The Lightship), Iceman (ex-PCG),
TCB, Slimer (ex-LOM), SAE & C, Vulgarik
(ex-Acid-Crew), TPW (ex-Timelords),
PCNOS, Goldman, MOS, Savage (ex-Ionix),
The Executer (also in X-Out), JYSE
(ex-TBB), ZAP (ex-Acid-Crew), Nomad
(ex-TGK), Budhist Brother (ex-KCT),
Witty (ex-KCT, kicked in September
1990), The Quacker (ex-KCT) and the
Tech. a lot of members.

In August 1990, Executer left ROLE to
join Holocaust. two Belgian ROLE-
members joined F4CG under another name,
because nobody would know that some
members of ROLE (according to F4CG, ROLE
was a shame for the elite) joined F4CG.
the ROLE-members in that month were
CMR, Feezy, Knightrider, MTS, ALF, ZAP,
Iceman, Apollo, TCB, Dash, Slimer, MOS,
Radion, SAE & C, Scorpio, Vulgarik, TPW,
Goldman, Witty, Druid (Australia),
Budhist Brother, Nomad, Quacker, The
Tech, Savage and Jyse.

September 1990 was a bad time for Feezy
of ROLE. ROLE kicked out Feezy because
he ripped demo-parts and other codings.
ROLE couldn't have something like that.
Iceman and Slimer left the scene.
Slammer, Yankee S., Slash and JOE joined
ROLE. Radion left the 64 for Amiga.

In November 1990, Savage left ROLE. BOA
and WAR (ex-Energy) joined ROLE. Gazza
of TAT joined ROLE, But he also stayed
in TAT. Nomad and The Tech, both from
Australia left ROLE. Nomad joined
Oxygen. JOE of ROLE changed his name
into Kamikaze JOE.

At the end of 1990 The Tech (Australia)
left ROLE. Badbreath and Uncle-X (both
ex-UTC), Skysurfer (ex-TCD), Mendrake
(ex-Raisers), The Unholy (ex-Demonix,
Canada) and Lotus joined ROLE. Goldman
left the scene.

In the beginning of 1991 our diskmag
Rock'n Role got a new outfit which was
a surprising to a lot of guys. Slammer
left ROLE to join Turtles (strange...).
Knightrider left ROLE because of a lack
of time. The cops visited MTS of ROLE,
but nothing happened. He was already
warned in time. The papermag HEADLINE
NEWS which was done by CMR during the
last months of 1990, has been taken over
by WAR of ROLE. Dash left ROLE to join
F4CG (he later rejoined ROLE). On
January 19th 1991, the members of ROLE
were : CMR, Slash, MTS, SAE & C, WAR,
Vulgarik, Alf, Skysurfer, TPW, Lotus,
TCB, Scipio, Apollo, Scorpio, MOS.
Mendrake, Kamikaze Joe, Gazza, Droopy,
Quacker, Budhist Brother, Druid, Yankee
Supreeme, The Unholy, Toco, Jyse, ZAP,
Badbreath, Uncle-X and BOA.

In February 1991, we could use pictures
in our diskmag Rock'n Role. Uncle-X left
ROLE to join Centauri. Yankee, Supreeme
and Droopy left ROLE. Budgie and Black
Hawk (Canada) joined ROLE. Black Hawk
changed his handle into Bald Eagle.

In March 1991, Gambler (ex-GSC),
Scorelord, Public Enemy (ex-UA) and AXE

group Pure, build by the kicked
Australian members, died.

TPW of ROLE left in April 1991. Dark
Angel of EMF joined ROLE. Druid of ROLE
joined Creation and SAE & C left ROLE.
TOY joined ROLE. Mega Madness, a diskmag
by Mendrake of ROLE, is ROLE's 2nd
diskmag.

May 1991 was a bussy period for ROLE.
These guys left ROLE : MOS, Apollo,
Kamikaze Joe, Budhist Brother, Public
Enemy (who joined Noice) and Mendrake.
Also the diskmag Mega Madness was lost
for ROLE, because Mendrake was the main
editor and he left.

In july 1991, our diskmag Rock'n Role
#15 had finally the first digitized
pictures. Quacker of ROLE left the scene
because he was catched by the Australian
police on tapping the phone from his
neighbours. Also Scorelord left the
scene together with the Unholy. Phobia
joined ROLE. Then ROLE made a big jump
when Ice-T joined. He was a very good
talented coder. He made a lot of new
routines. Gazza left ROLE and TAT for
the famous group Hotline, which died in
that same year. Mendrake (ex-ROLE)
build Acrise, so the diskmag Mega
Madness would be released under the
Acrise-label.

War of ROLE renamed into Luke Skywalker.

and Demon joined ROLE. Luke Skywalker
renamed himself again into WAR. ROLE
re-opened the Amiga-section.

In November 1991 Rawhead left ROLE and
changed his name into Yazoo again. He
rebuild his old group Gloom. In this
time I began to get into serious
money-problems.

In the beginning of 1992 I got into real
money-problems. Our diskmag Rock'n Role
#18 would be the last issue for a long
time because of the big unactivity of me
and ROLE. During the difficult period of
1992, WOW asked me to organise their
group, because they had organising-pro-
blems. I agree and helped WOW for a
while.

When 1993 started, ROLE slowly got a
more active group.
And in 1994 ROLE released crack's and
demo's again (like Rot-n-Role).
In the beginning of 1995, Simple joined
ROLE as a swapper. Later also Dojo and
Beaty joined ROLE.

In the middle of 1995, some Polish and
German guys joined ROLE.
Those were: Sniper, TEX, Swayze and
Heavy 01.

Rock'n Role (#19) again after a delay
of a few years. Sorex of WOW joined
ROLE, but he also stayed in WOW. Dennis
of ROLE became father of a son.
Trapaudax joined ROLE together with his
board 'Cry in Agony'. Angeldust joined
ROLE as a swapper and grafician.
VIP left ROLE because of school, but he
rejoined later. The scene was too
important for him. Dash of ROLE went to
Amiga and changed his name to "G".
Now role has again 2 Australian members.
they are: Dream and Gaxar. Ice-T of
ROLE changed his handle into Drakkanor.

At the end of 1995, Simple left ROLE
for Fairlight. Smokey, a dutch coder,
joined ROLE.
In the beginning of 1996, the brother
of Heavy 01 joined ROLE too. He is
Mr.Death of ROLE.
In february of 1996, ROLE started the
diskmag 'Channel 1'.

In april 1996, Drakkanor of ROLE
changed his handle into the Chronic.
In the beginning of May 1996, Nancy
joined ROLE. She is the first femal
member of ROLE and she is the
girlfriend of Commander. At the end of
May 1996, Simple rejoined ROLE as a
coder and swapper.

In June 1996, Smokey left ROLE and at
the end of June Soreball of Arcoss
joined ROLE. he's a coder.
Marcello of TDR/VIRUS left both groups
and changed his handle into Lowlife.
He joined ROLE as a swapper and
designer. Also Carnage of U-Turn joined
ROLE, he's a cracker and swapper.
Then ROLE made a demo called Dreamland.
(it was spread along with ArachnoPhobia
issue number one!)
Late august of 1996, ROLE kicked out
Angeldust.

In the beginning of September H-Bloxx
of Acrise+Excess joined the Amiga-
section of ROLE as a swapper. In the
same time 2GE left the Amiga-section of
ROLE.

In the middle of September, Dynatonic
(a Belgian graphician) and Bugjam (a
German swapper and graphician) joined
ROLE.

September 25th 1996 : CMR/ROLE is
talking and planning about a copy-party
with Acrise+Excess. Red Eock/Acrise+
Excess will talk with the other
members in Acrise+Excess.

On September 26th 1996, Prometheus (a
Polish coder and designer) joined ROLE.
And on September 27th 1996, CMR and
Nancy of ROLE married.

In the beginning of October 1996,
Unlock of Albion (who was asked to join
ROLE, but refused) became the official
spreader of ROLE-wares, without joining
ROLE. He's a swapper from Switzerland.
Also ROLE brought out again 2 first
releases (cracks), it has been a long
time ago that ROLE and a first release!
Matt Shaw, a Dutch swapper, and Lynch
(ex- U-Turn), a Dutch graphician and
swapper, joined ROLE.

On October 25th 1996, WOW and ROLE will
crack together in a cracking co-op,
Which was called 'WOW+ROLE'. remember,
this is only a cracking co-op, demo's
and other products from ROLE will be
released under the ROLE-label! The same
counts for WOW, every product made by
a WOW-member, except cracks ofcourse,
will be released under the WOW-label.

In November 1996, an eEglish coder
called 'Frankie' joined ROLE. This is
thanks to Simple who found him on
Internet.

In december 1996, Simple of ROLE found
another member on Internet. This guy
comes from the u.s.a. And he is an
NTSC-fixer. This American guy has the
handle 'Ringleader'. In the mean time
ROLE scratched Surfer out of the
memberslist because of no contact
between ROLE HQ and the guy.
It's december 18th, DOJO of ROLE
changed his handle (codename) into
Avenger.

On the 26th of december 1996, some
ROLE-members went to the party VI in
Denmark where the 21st issue of the
diskmag Rock'n Role was spread over
200 times. Ofcourse a ROLE-service
again.
