"viper/rebels wrote" ---------------------------------------- here's a little text that viper/rebels wrote to me! it came just in time to be published. please read it carefully!! ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- dear jerry and dear readers, what should i write after such a brain- less text?? well, maybe i should start at the beginning. nearly one year ago our group rebels was born. just as triad got this, they pretended that some older guys like jerry or king fisher were in a group before that was called rebels too and tried to force us to change our groupname. but till today we didn't care about their lame behaviour as for sure 95% of the scene never before has heard from a group called rebels. now they try to put us down as rippers so that we give up and rebels dies !! but when one thing is sure, then it is that rebels never will die because of some boasting triad'ers !! but now to the intro jerry wrote about: you maybe have seen our intro with a average rebels logo at the top and in the bottom some kind of mountains or hills moving around !! well, jerry thinks that the mountain scrolling routine is ripped. i nearly started laughing when i read this. i talked with antiplex on the phone as he has made the intro some time ago. and he told me that the routine for sure was not ripped. yes, he has taken (or jerry would you say ripped) the idea with the mountains and the mountains itself. if you have seen the demo called 'rippers united' that was spread by triadX then you easily can see that the routine wasn't ripped, when you see that the scrolling in our intro has an other direction than the scrolling in the activision intro. and if there are any guys that can code, then they can com- pare the both codings and they will see that the routine was not ripped. yes, antiplex used the mountains for the same idea as activision did. but is this lame ? first at all we never pre- tended that the graphics were made by ourselves and second, do you also wanna call all the dudes, who see a nice routine in a demo, and use the same idea for their demo, lame ?? if soo, then the whole scene would be full of lamers as there are only maybe 5 or 6 really original coders or painters !! when i would have the same opinion as you have, then i also should have to call all the guys that have coded an d.y.c.p. or a f.l.i routine rippers, as only one guy has had the original idea. all the others are 'pure' rippers then. so jerry maybe you should think about this again. and if you ever should try to set similar rumours out, then please show me that you are cool and talk 1st with me about your problem concerning the rebels. this way you at least can prove that you are right and won't handle like a lamer who sets out false rumours. and everything concerning our group name i just can say.... i'm now nearly 5 years in the c-64 scene. i've heard from groups like zero boys, west end boys, maniacs, byteriders, danish gold, 1001 crew, eagle soft inc., triad (yes), shining 8, abc, dynamic duo, abnormal, plasma, new formula crew (nfc), sphinx, untouchable cracking force (ucf), annex, mechanix, critters, city boys, count, drive, druids, triangle, cosmos, exact, agile, zenobits, rampar, axion,..... you see they are quite many, but for 100% i never heard from a group called rebels. well, maybe rebels really existed a long time ago. but should we be allowed to use the same name as the old rebels for sure weren't the famous at that time !! if we shouldn't we allowed to use this name, then groups like plasma design, guardian angels, paramount should have to change their groupname, as i was in some local groups with this names in my hometown !! so jerry, think about this. and if you wanna react on this text, then do so and send your reaction first to me and then also to the rest of the world and don't be a chicken and not sending it to me so that i don't have to hear your lies from other guys !! ohhh, by the way, in your lame ripp of our intro you wrote that hibisch ripped the intro. but as he has nothing to do with the intro except that he used it for his cracks you should give hibisch an excuse, to show the world that still at least a triad member can make a mistake (maybe you first should prove your so called facts before you give them out to the rest of the world) !! well, i hope you and some other dudes read this lines carefully and think about what i wrote !! yours, viper of rebels ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- yoho viper! i know that the intro wasn't ripped as i checked the code and for anyone that can not code,i tell that you need a complete different routine to make a scroll to the left instead of to the right!!! i also had never heard of an old group called "rebels" on the c64!!! i've been in 'time' myself a looong time ago,but do i talk shit about the new time in south africa?!? nope,why should i!?! anyway,keep the name as it is cool! ----------------------------------------
