<pre> different things
----------------
as some of you might already know an-
other 'hero' quits the scene. i'm tal-
king about 'bacchus of fairlight'...
we recieved a (very) long, but in my
opinion also very interesting 'goodbye
letter' from him. i think, that it is
worth of beiing printed here. so let's
see what his final words look like...

howdy hackers!
for quite a few years, i've been deal-
ing with my thrusty old c64. i've even
grown old along with it. 'granny'
bacchus of fairlight is soon to reach
his 22nd birthday. (+)
at this age, most decent guys tend to
find girls more seriously, than the
ones you played around with in school.
so have i done. i've found a woman
with whom i want to spend the rest of
my life and to stay no.1 on her charts
is far more important than being on
the top 10 of all discmags.
so;as she will be gone on an interrail
month june 10:th to july 9:th, i will
then give you the very best and very
last of me.for a full month i will
again dedicate my life 100 % to compu-
ting. during this period, i've fixed a
supplier and the time i need for the
job. i don't say i'll make it ti no.1
but i do say that i'll again put (+)
in maximum overdrive for making you
all remember the name 'bacchus' with a
chill allong your spine. my only goal
during my wasted years, trying to
please and impress you all, was to be
one of 'the remembered ones'.
so, a lot of you hated me for my big
mouth. a lot of you swedes wanted to
kill me when o equaled myself to guys
like gollum, mr.z, janitor and a few
others. i can't judge for you if i fit
in, but my whish and ability is still
strong.
so i've been the main character in flt
and what will happen if i leave? well,
a few guys go along into the forest of
good hunting. (+)
-rowdy is fairly new inflt and yet we
have grown very good friends. my re-
tirement made him react in leaving
the scene for good.
-the alchemist and i were best of
friends. i will perhaps even have him
as best man on my computing wedding.
he has also found the girl to full-
fill his dreams and hopes. that's why
he was kicked/didn't want to stay.
a few final words perhaps:
-quite a few of you has started hating
aaron for his mouth size. i don't
feel that it's my duty defending him
any more so here is my opinion. aaron
is a youngster and a rebel in a way.
if you want to get along with him,(+)
listen to what he actually says after
separating all the boast and the flood
of words. all of you can findthe good
guy behind the solid protective wall
of boast and words. don't hate him,
but start understanding him even if it
might be a bit hard at first. he's
really basically a good guy!
-so about the amiga. we all on the c64
scen are really playing around on the
small duckpond on the backyard of com-
puting. look around you t see that
cool guys leave every day for the
amiga (ed.do they???c64 scene is much
cooler than the (l)amiga scene...).
only very few stay and grow with the
trusty old c64 anymore. (+)
we protect our little pond by saying
that amiga is lame (ed.amiga i s lame)
i say there is nothing wrong with the
machine what so ever. it's just that
we are afraid of the new system even
if we realise that the c64 is not the
one of the two to live forever.
also a few things still annoy me:
speed and lac of quality. i say the
life task for a cracker should be to
make a copy which is just as fully
working as the original and with a few
extras as trainers and levelcrunching.
if these basicrules are neglected,
then you shouldn't release anything
called a crack. all this is due to
speed and americans. janks could (+)
get a 250 blx lynxed file called
'operation thunderbolt ii' and they
would happily spread it even if ti
contained 5 old games and some sources
from a junkdisk of yours from early 86
this is not the world i'd like to be a
cracker in!
news from my front:
-as you have seen, we still keep it up
by the wotk of dino and seagull, who
crack some occasional games commin' in
there has been a lot of talk about
others joining and some all swedish
cooperations, but so far no printable
results.
-rockstar and servant is no longer in
flt. they are both in extasy. (+)
i never thought they really would fit
in, but what do you when one of the
fastest suppliers asks you if he could
join together with his cracker, who
happens to be one of the top 10. they
are both cool guys and there is no
trouble behind them leaving, and i was
not aiming at their qualities when
saying that they wouldn't fit in. the
only thing was that it is a bit hard
keeping a group together when you live
in different countries. those who man-
age, are often separated into sections
and flt doesn't want sections.
-we are very happy to see the world-
wide decline and fall of censor. you
all know these guys are lousy (+)
crackers but fairly good coders. so
keep coding, and don't involve in
things you don't understand, ok?
-at the hz-party, a demopart was re-
leased and it was said to be from cen-
sor. right, it was censor's unfinished
code you all saw. as jerry of triad
got mad at me i felt ashamed of the
occasion and have this to say to the
world:
1.i wasn't the one who did it but,
never the less, i take full responsi-
bility for the occurance. i gave the
clearance signal for our censor kill-
ing wolfs to bite the meat they were
given.
(+)
2.i now admit that it was a bit
naughty of us to do such a thing, but
i admit our step over the line. after
all, i keep calling myself 'a noble
knight' and i intend to be here. so,
3.i hereby send an apology to censor
for this, and only this.not because i
feel they didn't deserve it, but for
reasons like -we don't drag our name
in the dirt but messing around with
pissants like censor and- i wouldn't
risk the friendship of jerry/triad for
something like this...
-censor released something looking
like our intromaker. separate the ori-
ginal from the fake by pressing commo-
dore + shift. (+)
the fake is made from an old version
with fading music in the beginning.
this is not the case with our normal
one.
this must be the end, the final end
