"about votes'n'charts"

part 2

by tch/brutal
----------------------------------------
yohoho! this chapter seems to be read
by quite some guys as i've recieved
several reactions and other things to
my lines in issue #9!!
here's the first reaction from one of
the 'internal' editors: einstein/wow!!
the text i've printed here is a little
part of a larger text..
----------------------------------------
...my idea of the country-votesheet was
not completed yet... you could say it
is some kind of a study... what i mean
is that it could become part of the
charts! we (wow) have already spread a
country and normal votesheet
'8 together in order to get the
9*+,-. best results as possible...
/0123458 i know what you mean with a
6789: ; lack of guys..also alex/rush
< => (czech) said the same... but
? _AB i think the old system is
CDEFGH even worse.. anyhow,if there
are pe.not enough gfx,.. in
a certain country,you simply don't
vote for that subject!
and you won't have a problem with the
rest of the world because you have to
spread the country and the normal vote
sheet together! then,and only then,
you could reach the ultimate result!!
(or was it seduction??)

Ü ! Ü ! Ü ! Ü ! Ü !
"#$%&' "#$%&' "#$%&' "#$%&' "#$%&'
()*+,- ()*+,- ()*+,- ()*+,- ()*+,-

before i react on this,i'll first print
another reaction which also reached me
concerning this matter...
it was written by the freak/rebels!

Ü ! Ü ! Ü ! Ü ! Ü !
"#$%&' "#$%&' "#$%&' "#$%&' "#$%&'
()*+,- ()*+,- ()*+,- ()*+,- ()*+,-

facts is that every magazine publishes
it's own votesheets and charts,and
everybody should know that none of
them are really objective. therfore i
wonder whether the scene,i.e. we do
really want objective and unbiased
charts? i for myself,and i'm certainly
not alone with this request,want to
see objective and uncheated charts..
the idea with the country-votes was a
first step towards this direction.
therefore,i have worked out a new
suggestion which,however,requires lots
of tolerance and cooperation by each
group publishing a magazine..
i suggest to proceed as IJKLMNO
follows; PQRSQTU
each group continues to send QQVWQQX
out its votesheets to its YZUÅÄÓÖ
contacts but the voters do Ü U!"#U
not return their votesheets $%& $%&
to the magazines,but to a
central place where all the votesheets
are collected (somewhere in europe)
and this central place is ofcourse
neutral,i.e. it does not participate
in any voting and does not publish a
mag. this central place evaluates the
votesheets and distributes the results
to all magazines. afterwards,the vote-
sheets will be returned to the groups
so that they know who has filled out
their votesheets,for publication of
the addresses,etc...
ofcourse,it would also be possible to
organize a central place for each
individual country like it is for the
social-music charts of the european
countries,and a superior place will
then publish all euro charts.

i really wonder if we all together will
be able to achieve something difficult
but worthwhile. this would really be a
good achievement. to program a demo or
to crack a game is something which can
be achieved by everyone with some
efforts!!
----------------------------------------
okay,reactions time!!
as i allready wrote in the ninth issue
i am no supporter of the countrysystem
as it is simply not fair to use some
system like that! i don't know how
big for instance the czechoslovacian
scene is,but i don't expect it to be
over 15 guys big!!
and what if only 1 of those guys is
really good at drawing..
you then shouldn't vote for him as he
will be the only name in the list?!?
really fair to this guy which tries to
do so well!!
the idea brought to you by the freak,
may look like a really good idea and
it is for sure better than the other
one... but also here there are some
minor problems!!
who is crazy enough to count everyones
votesheet for nothing?!?
okay,this problem is not that hard to
be solved,but what about this one..
is there one special date when all
magazines get released?
nope,there isn't!! so how can you
ever make 'fair' charts if every mag
needs it on another day!!
it's ofcourse possible to release all
mags at the same day,but will that be
cool or what? i know for sure that a
lot of mags will stop because they
won't get read anymore,or they won't
get spread anymore due to an overdosis
of magazines at one small period!!
and every mag will almost look the
same as the charts will be identical
everywhere!!
and what if someone fills a votesheet
for every mag?? this guy will get
enormous influence on the final result
and that's not what we want,is it!?
you'll return all votesheets to every
magazine so they can publish the
advert and other things... what if a
votesheet gets lost somewhere?!?
the guy,who's votesheet got lost might
never fill a sheet for that mag again!
this is bound to happen if you arrange
something like that!!
maybe this idea has something incommen
to the communistic thoughts!!
it is the best idea to create the very
ultimate magazine,but it can't work in
this community with individualism!!
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
and that's all there was to say about
the votesheet-systems for this time!
i'll now write some lines about the
'single cracker'-charts...
----------------------------------------

----------------------------------------
nowadays,you see mostly the same guys in
these charts:powerplant,doc,bod etc..
but there are more('n better) good
crackers nowadays!!!
it is really tough to break through in
these charts as hardly anyone really
compares the cracks,now that the
'gamers guide' is still not back!!
but what makes crackers good or better
than the others?!?
is it the speed or the abilities?!?
if we check the lists you'll always
see the ones of groups with lots of
first-releases topping the chart!!
so it seems quite obvious that it does
not really matter how good you are,as
long as you're fast!!!
this is in my opinion pretty lame!!
what does 'best cracker' mean to you?
to me it means the guy who did the
best version of several games released
lately!! and mostly the first-release
guys don't spend an awfull lot of time
on training,shortening and other stuff
as it has to be done fast,before any
other guy released it!!
so therefore i think speed-crackers
are not always that good as the chart
may say he is!!
recently there was this game called
"potsworth" from hi-tec..
lots of guys cracked it and also lots
of guys that are in the cracker-charts
released it!!
but almost everyone kept the picture
in the main-file!!
yes! there's a picture in the original
tape-version! (spread by genesis!)
it is located at $4000-$6400!!
if you cracked this game,you better
load your version and go to the game
title screen,reset and then simply
enter these pokes in basic;

poke53265,69
poke53270,24
poke53272,128
poke56576,150

and if you see a,partly bugged,picture
you know you did a lousy job!!
this is not ment to slag everybody
down who was stupid enough to overlook
this picture,but simply ment to show
you who is worth to be called a good
single cracker and to show who just
pretend to be good,or to live on the
reputation on being fast!!
i'll just give 3 names of guys which i
think should atleast be in the top 5
of 'single crackers': ignorance
chrysagon
crush
if one of these guys cracks a game,it
is for sure a high quality version!!
unfortunately they are mostly hanging
somewhere aound place 10...
i think this really is bad!! why is it
that speedies rule,when their versions
are hardly of any quality!!
there are ofcourse exceptions,but this
is mostly what happens!!
therefore i hope that the gamers-guide
will be back,or that someone else
could compare all versions and make a
list of all games,with the version
that was best mentioned with it!
so not that every version will be
printed,just the ruling one!!
if you think this is a good idea,then
please let me know!!!
please read the opinion-poll to see
what kind of a system i developed to
make the best version!!!
----------------------------------------
and that's all for this chapter as i've
said all there was to say!!
if you have any reactions then please
send a letter to this address..
