Internal 11 - Historical Background
From C64 Diskmag Wiki
* HISTORICAL BACKGROUND * this is an introduction to a NEW and probably quite interesting chapter!... to tell some more about it.... in here we'll try to let 1 (or more) guys of a certain group (mostly the leader and/or x-leaders) tell the groupstory!.... they'll be able to let free info which nobody knows and is NO secret to this fairly open SCENE.... anyway, to give a good example i'll be the first to set off a small story about the group i fell in love (i like) with about 2 years ago. we're of course talking about WOW here. well, wow is 1 hell of a myth in our belgian scenery as in the beginning WOW contained members who are now quite ELITE/FAMOUS dudes!... a lot of then have forgotten the true religion of the wastelanders!.... not only OLD legends have enjoyed/lived through the WOW EXPERIENCE. also a lot of NEW scene dudez were present and joined at our comeback... this comeback started off with so very little!... namely: CHACKE-HUMANOID-TORNADO- and then those few joined: BRK-DIVINE-APOLLO -EINSTEIN-JONES- we started off when brk had his modem! we planted our first releases on the COOL us boards and BRK became quite famous and is now a wellknown phreaker and freak here down in belgium! (brk/LEGEND now) but after these few glorious moments we set off to a DOWN period in our career!... we were down as we lost our original supplier. we had to settle for originals from GOLDFISH/LEGEND which were of course NO first releases!... we took in many members to save and to examine whether we still had the power to recrute members!... this trick payed off as even some old members rejoined! of course we had to reduce our members as it became impossible to handle and a lot of them were INACTIVE. so we asked a few to leave... some even were kicked and from time to time some even LEFT our great forces of darkness. some of these dudez forgot that WOW played a roll in their scene-career and are now KIND OFF unthankfull for what they did (p.e. mayday!). but most of the guys who left, got a better offer from a better group (seems logic to me). these guys prefered productivity before friendship and i admit it that that WOW was certainly INACTIVE. but that was the main reason for taking in so much members... to keep eventually only the active freaks!... but the patience of some was tested too hard and they were gone forever out of our lives!... still some are still supporting us and that's what counts!... (p.e. death- stralker/tasker/....).... recently a few left the FLEET too... (or you can call it THE SINKING SHIP) topic and bullseye!... what i making me a bit sorrow is that topic and even bullseye aren't supporting and aren't even writting anymore to the old groupmembers!... this is quite a lame and UNFAIR attitude and i guess no-one of us have deserved this threat- ment!... but let's hope they'll for 1 time won't sit on their money and get into contact again!... these 2 dudez are the living proof of the fact that WOW has played a roll in their career! even bullseye wanted to stay in wow but we refused as we're no group to walk in and out whenever feel like it!... (except stl affaire then!... but that was a bit different!)... anyway, after those tragic moments some of use have lived through only a few original members are left... chacke/hitch/ispace but those 3 are or freelance or fucking inactive!... the main reason for this is because they've been taken life too serious and taking COMPUTING as a real hobby!.... the few original members of the come- back are: JONES-APOLLO-EINSTEIN we've been there from the comeback and i can assure you that life has been hard for us!... (at least for me!)... jones is a freelancer now and apollo only works on a part-time base!... i myself am still quite active and struggling to stay in the scene!... the WOW has since recently been taken in members again!... members with a certain quality and sometimes a certain celebrity .... we are now still fighting to be recognized as a good competitor but the GLANCE of our begin months of our come-back is gone!... i admit in saying we aren't speedracers anymore but we NEVER finnish last either as this glance has made place for 1 other thing... 1 thing which is the MOST IMPORTANT THING in our scene!... namely: FRIENDSHIP!.... all current wow members have somewhat a good relationship with each other!... every member knows every member!... of course it's logical that p.e. a norwegian guy doesn't know all belgian guys but we try to act as friends and till now it's going all- right!.... of course this friendship sometimes doesn't go further then just WOW as now it seems that ANTICHRIST wants to make some fuss about something too!... if this is true i can only say: FUCK OFF as we have nothing against ya and we don't really care about you! you're no good as a swapper as for me practically ALL megaswappers suck!... anyway, NO-ONE will get through our close band we have with our members!... we have still a policy in wow: once a friend... a friend forever!... no matter what happens with a member we try to support them all the way!... this is certainly the fact with the overlord/wow!... he's been asked by XXXXXXXX to join a rebuilt group!... a rebuilt group with 100 PROCENT fine coders,crackers,etc... an outstanding group with cool members!... of course the overlord is taking this offer into serious account but at least he has the descenty to call when he has got an offer like this!... i've therefor ad- vised and said that for his CAREER it would be better as he has NO real partners in wow who can help him in coding!... we also have a problem with our graphicers.... the only dude whose able to draw some serious things is VINZZ .... he's not gotcha but he's not really bad!... we have some guys who are learning but it's quite hard to draw on a black/white monitor!... anyway, i said to the overlord that he deserves this XXXXXXX group as this group at least contains a good gfx- designer!... i can't offer him this as i've stopped searching for a graphicer!... but if anyone,anywhere whose able to DRAW really cool things and want to be linked to one hell of a coder then JOIN WOW.... this is the first thing we really need and i'm tired of searching so if you think this looks like begging then it sure is.... i say what i have to say!... if you're tired off DRAWING without noticing and your group DOESN'T need your gfx then join WOW!... every guy who does a good job is respected and appreciated!.... this brings me to a next point!... some guys have been criticising on the new (improved?) WOW coz of several reasons!... one of them should be: there are too much UNKNOWN lamers in it!... i can only say this... every current WOW member stands for something somewhat in the group!... and even when it's only giving morale support we respect the guy!... we are NO group in which we kick EVERY member who only has 40 contacts or who isn't yet able to code!... we HELP the people!... we're having FUN and we only want a few recognition.... now we're getting some votes in several mags and whoever did this i thank you! if you think we're good then do vote for us!.... we will always try to help our friends/contacts!... if any of our contacts need a favour we'll be the first to try and helping them out!... but still we get some bad looks... anyway, i can only say: UP YOURS!... i'm almost sure we'll get comments on our latest recruts (trial members) but this last expression keeps active!... we only take members in when we think they can play a part in our DEVELOPMENT ... most of the time those particular guys become friends too!.... this is sometimes a good but sometimes also a bad thing about WOW as it's hard to kick a friend!.... anyway, this sounds like a speech of the dying of WOW but it ain't as i'm more motivated then ever before.... i was leader of these SCUMBAGS but gave over the torch too chacke!... i'm now doing my time as 2nd leader but i think i'm more concerned then ever before!.... anyway, I will be the last to give faith up from now as we're showing we're ALIVE AND KICKING again!.... perhaps for some this process is going to small but that's their problem!.... we have the good attitude and we'll surely take advantage of this so let's hope all our small plans work out aswell and then we'll be SITTING on roses!.... so be prepared!... this was a short story about THE ONE AND ONLY WOW and this chapter is surely deeply subjective and i hope you will all forgive me for this but i had to tell you more about this group as we're not FOR NOTHING NUMBER TWO in belgium!.. and you have to admit... being number two after the number ONE in the world (LEGEND) is an HONOUR!... therefor we hold no hathret nor other feelings against legend or all other belgian groups!... we're there and we'll always be if everyone keeps up the spirit!.... this group has grown since our come- back and if we're not so active anymore we're surely as COOL!... we'll always try to favour our friends and contacts.... we'll always try to improve and extend our limits but perhaps we'll always FAIL as OUR FRIENDSHIP sits in the WAY. (am i a poet?...or what?... yes, i'm what...he,arrogance) therefor i say to every WOW member and to all who are interested to JOIN! WOW will always be your NUMBER ONE!... therefor here is the memberstatus of the WOW: birdman, vinzz bono, apollo joker, einstein organiser, breznjev cruel, bruno stormlord, lenine tech grapple sorex unix image matt chacke slash we also greet our friends and contacts who always have supported us and if you ever need a favour....

(100 procent classified info) anyway, this time these rad dudez were present: geert'crackdisc'sorex,david' improving perfectionist'stl,david2' icandrawtoo'slash,yves'myfatherisan exhibitionist'brezjnev,ives'i'mthefated- itionofbatman'einstein,mathieu'thepunish ed'matt,vincent'thegaydoglover'vinzz, tony'theneumegaswapper'bono... and NO more... after seeing some lovely girls we got HUNGRY!...(he matt!)... but at this moment brz had already left us!... anyway, we moved our lazy asses towards a place where we could find some cholesterol-fries and some puke-hamburg- ers!... of course some assholes of our party didn't want to go to the QUICK so we went to a real flemmish fries-house ... at least we thought it was a real flemmish eat-house!....(HAHA!) anyway,after walking some MILES. we arrived at our traditional eat-house but we all experienced 1 BIG SHOCK! the eat-house had a new owner or should i say OWNERES?.... wow, the cool boss was a fucking FAGOT... shit... only 4 of us went inside as the two others didn't want to eat there!... but some of us were so hungry that we said per- haps the fries are edible?... anyway, the stupid gay asked us what we wanted and in the meanwhile a real stinking SMELL came into the eat-house! we thought it was the gay's breath or stl's stink-feet but it turned out to be another FAGOT who was inside at the back of the eat-house...(the gay's friend!)... anyway, i couldn't hold my laughter as matt was already doing real strange faces and saying the guy was a queer and that it stank,etc... i just was laughing....(ed.now you know why i'm so fat!... from laughing!) anyway, i ordered and so did vinzz'n slash!... slash'n vinzz of course felt comfortable...(ed.haha!...JOKE!... only CLITTING!) still, we ate and matt ate like a beast (ed.like always!)... i didn't really enjoy the food and the pleasure was even higher when 2 other GAYS came in!... 2 dirty marrocan guy!... they really looked funny!... and spoke with the familiar 'S' tone!... anyway, i hurried up as fast as possible as i just had to laugh and my coke alnost came out through my nose but when the shop owners '(girlgay)friend entered i couldn't stop ... it was mighty funny!.... i dropped the shit fries in the basket and left the joint!... we all left and all laughed infront of the house!... we later found out that in the eat-house there were hanging posters from' GAY-PARTIES,LESBIENNE PARTIES, etc.... '.... well, the only thing we got wiser off is that we now know the meeting place of another BELGIAN group but still we will not likely return to this joint! still, whatever happened i'd loads of fun and this had been the most funniest meeting the WOW had ever had!... i know this shit doesn't interest you but i don't care NOW as this was so funny that i just had to tell you this! i also hope you won't think we're used to going like these sorts of joints as otherwise i wouldn't be telling you this .... but if you do then i can only say.. .. WOW BUSSINESS IS OUR BUSSINESS!.... * one last thing!... WHY didn't someone reacted on the voting for ENGLISH/BELGIAN groups? are all english/belgian guys too lazy? (or to lame?).... and secondly.... why didn't you send in the answer to the COMPETITION? the answer(s) were so EASY!..... anyway, it's your loss!... not ours!.... well, it's possible that chief editor 1 will write some more shit to fill this chapter so just wank ze joy right 2 check it out!... i can only say... see you in another chapter. signed chief editor 2 yeah, and here's back from dope demand your all-loved chief-editor 1! thanks for giving me the word, chief- editor 2, but a fact is i really don't know what to say now, as i already wrote tons (ahem) of texts in some other parts of this cooooooool magazine. yeah, i really hope some hq.'s will react on this, namely that they can send us a real groupstory about the history of their group. if lots of people should send us some stories about that, i would be very happy. you may ask: why letting other people write for your own magazine, are you may be too lazy to write something yourself? i say: hell NO!! we thought it was interesting to publish some good stories, that's just all... see it as a kind of propaganda for your own group if you send us a story... anyway, if you really don't want that, then just ignore this idea and keep on playing the lame copyslave or something like that, it's your bussiness anyway... well, i'll end right here, no, not becau se of time-problems, but simply that i am outta inspiration... anyway... next month, same internal-time, same internal place... bye bye 'n' have a good night... press ze FIRE button... -MATT-
