General comments
-------------
Since last issue i've tried to release this magazine to
the schedule i set out when the magazine began.
I have achieved it with a tiny delay and hope to even
make greater improvements in release time by next
issue also.
Several well known magazines have been celebrating
in style. Vandalism News Silver edition reached my
drive and i congratulate the staff on all their effort
over the years.
More recently the special Christmas edition of The
Pulse magazine was released at the Denmark party.
Apart from a special Christmas issue, they also
celebrate 20 fine issues.
This would have to be the most regular released
magazine in history, congratulations on the fine
edition.
Lastly, is the Propaganda Gold (#20) edition.
Celebrating in splendid style, they invite the former
main editor and creator of the magazine, Antichrist
in a pre-editorial section.
As usual the edition was well written, as one would
expect from this magazine.
Unfortunately the editors seemed not to pleased on
articles published in Vandalism News #25 and
Domination issue #5 by Vengeance and myself.
Both Matt and i do respect Propaganda as a very
informative, competitive magazine, but we cannot see
reasoning behind the "write the naked truth, scandal
or not..." style the Propaganda magazine contains.
How can an editor talk about scandals with 1st hand
experience when the editor doesn't even call the Usa
boards on any type of regular basis.
The way the text is written about 'Onslaught' is just
hilarious, as we find this being the only publication that
writes negative and wrong texts about us.
Turning the text from an informative point of view into
a total bonanza of their own opinions and not what
really matters, the scene's opinion!
A magazine in my opinion should report the news, not
add their 'mouthy' slang that would cause trouble with
a group or seperate the scene into different opinions
about the one truth.
This is called 'objectivity' which is one of the jewels a
magazine editor tries to perform to achieve a larger
audience.
Sure lets look at (4) points they gave in the editorial.
- La*Style did call 3 groups.
- Mario wanted to crack only multi-load games,
because the market doesn't allow a particular large
amount of these he wasn't given that much to do.
He never got the wares he expected to see since his
break in the scene and wanted to join another group.
- The Ministry did criticize their own organization in
public.
- The Ministry were removed from the group because
of incapability to crack certain games, one being
MegaThrustaball, which was later given to La*Style.
Our organization is fine, and it has to be plain to see,
we are in the top ten in all magazines.
We are an international based group, not what is
normally experienced by The Ministry, who are used
to a Swedish based organization core.
Before my final decision for removing them from the
group they asked for some first releases to crack,
no problem at all.
But ringing them was though, as they were practally
unavailable, i emailed Jayce (one of the Ministry) on
Wares Aquarium about this problem.
His reply was to upload the first releases onto one of
the public drives of the swedish board, how lame, so
they were removed.
- Highway was taken on in great confusion.
- We in the Onslaught core were debating whether to
take on the bbs or not, discussing the matter with
Homeboy, Vengeance and Bizarre we came to some
decisions. Both Homeboy and i were willing to take on
the board in order to give our swedish section more
support.
I knew Vengeance's decision would eventually be a yes,
so Homeboy made the decision to take on the bbs.
The only thing that was 'confusing' was the fact we
knew we were going to gain the bbs, but we were not
sure on when.
Thats why it was a total surprise to us when we did get
the bbs, as we never expected it to be so soon.
- Dodger did leave for Hitmen in unhappiness.
- True, Lars did leave unhappy. We are all still quite
good pals with him. It was mainly because of one
release in particular. One thing he was unhappy about
also was the inclusion of The Ministry into our group.
Even now he is in Hitmen, do you see the Propaganda
magazine covering his PUBLIC disliking in large detail.
The Ministry joining Hitmen and he denied their
membership, a heated situation that took place over
an odd 15 or so posts, NO.
and there is the answers to all the Propaganda facts,
One other small detail another of the Propaganda
editors included was about certain groups not being
worthy to call the boards.
Mentioned by Antichrist in the pre-editorial chapter
was Motiv8, Hardcore and Onslaught.
All of these groups have established and respected
sceners, so how is he able to comment on these people
in the sloppy way he just did.
Putting Onslaught as first, one would see that we
contain/ed members such as Majesty, Chrysagon,
Ignorance, Deekay and even Antichrist's former group
member, La * Style.
How can he then comment on the remainding members
who he doesn't even know from his own experience
but from what he is told by others in the Propaganda
staff.
The magazine is a fine magazine, i just hope to see in
the future a better and more sensible view on groups
in the scene, instead of making assumptions and
publishing only ONE side of the story.
Concluding the editorial, i would also like to thank the
people responsible in making this magazine what it
is today, the spreaders, coders, musicians, painters
and the critics.
Here is the new issue of Domination, and i hope you
find enjoyment and satisfaction at my labours.
Sincere regards;
Jazzcat/ONSLAUGHT
