* WORDS OF WISDOM *
* again a wow part.... well, this time
i'll talk about the injustice and some
other things which are happening in the
scene!...
well, everybody knows that the charts
are one hell of a corrupt thing but a
lot of groups aren't doing anything
about it!... a lot of groups still trust
on the charts to be correct or take the
law into their own hands and fuck up
the charts even more!...
a well-known fact is that most of the
megaswappers are writing to every mag
and vote (without thinking) just to
have their addy printed in that magazine
... also a lot of lamers are voting and
they are surely the worst to have the
knowledge of an objective vote. the so-
called elite isn't bothering to vote as
they don't see the point as they know
that their group will be in whatever
happens. a lot of those so-called elite
groups don't deserve to be in the charts
while other (unknown?) groups have 10000
times more the right to be placed in the
charts. what can you do about it?
1) drop the charts as a chapter
or....
make another kind of VOTESHEET....
namely... a votesheet on which you can
only vote for your own country's groups/
guys (girls) in the charts!....
p.e. if you live in belgium you fill in
that you live in belgium and you vote
p.e. crackers: pwp/legend (and not doc/
legend or crush/bonzai)... ONLY BELGIANS
then!... or for crackergroups: legend,
wow,tcom .....
most of the scene-guys will know what
is going on in their country but not
which group is the best in another
country... i think this kind of vote-
sheet would eventually give perhaps
the same result (seen worldwide) but
at least it will be HONEST and less
CORRUPT. anyway, this way of voting
has already been done by p.e. arrogance
in his mag bild zeitung but it wasn't
a replacement of the other charts but
just an own opinion (probably) as his
info was certainly NOT CORRECT. but
at least it's a good try for a more
justified chart-system.
also i want to point out for those
many magazines who use a VOTER (or
even a votesheet) in which some groups
are already enlisted. this leads to
corruptive actions and it's likely that
only the very best (FRIENDS?) are in.
this means that a lot of other groups
are left out because they're not well-
known or they're not good enough.
to all who do this i advise you to
either ENLIST ALL p.e. crackergroups
or either NONE AT ALL... this is the
most fair option and it will also make
the less good groups happy as they're
mostly the victim of all that friends-
politics.
i know all this won't get through most
of you (your thick brain-skulls) but
i do hope you will listen to this as
a lot of magazines are claiming to be
objective but in reality they're not
and that's really LAME.
* well, as a result of a lot of lame
things happening in the scene i want
to correct some things which weren't
all the fair....
let's start with WILDCAT/ICS....
this guy is said to be a recracker,
a ripper,.... but is he really a
recracker?... some of us know that
when you've got an enemy the fight is
not always fair and clean. this means
that it's likely that an eneny of
wildcat has tried to fool the world by
recracking (in the name of wildcat) some
games. a lot of guys also believed with-
out checking it first... the explanation
of gabriel/the force.... a lot of guys
joined the FAW .... but now wildcat
has shown one thing that he's able to
crack too as the first releases of ICS
were certainly not RECRACKS (even
gabriel has to admit this!)... ofcourse
it's possible that wildcat did some
nasty things p.e. by claiming it was
him who made the iffl-enforcer...etc...
but is a guy always judged by 1 action.
everybody makes mistakes and i guess
it's not right to make such a fuss
about such things. most of us are
adult persons and adults are meant to
be talking about problems. the reason
for starting this (faw) should be be-
cause wildcat should have said something
about the isrealian section of the force
... if this is right then ofcourse it's
not a fair thing to do this and then
wildcat has to be punished but this is
something between him and the force
members. not between the world and
wildcat. if it's like that, that wildcat
still thinks it's world war ii then
it's better to put him in an insanity
home.... but is it like this?...
and why aren't WE (outsiders) our own
business... this stuff makes the scene
go down and becoming a mix of wars and
troubles... why can't we live in peace?
for all (most) of us this is a hobby
(a big one or a small one) and NOBODY
likes wars... so CUT THE CRAP and
be FRIENDS.
this also is a fact with antichrist.
a lot of guys are still making a fuss
about it that he could be OMG ....
but who are we to tell this or even
to stick our noses into this... why
can't he be 2 guys?... is it that bad?
a lot of other dudez want to be in 2
groups...
ofcourse this is not the main reason
for all this 'HATRED' towards antichrist
... a lot of guys who made some games
haven't been getting money for their
games as omg (antichrist?) made sure
that g*p had the 1st release... this
meant also that the game-makers wouldn't
be getting any money. but i've heard
that chromance did get some money for
their game ... ofcourse not everyone
was so lucky and again this is something
between the game-maker and omg...
it's ofcourse not right what omg did
as the work of months go down the drain
just because omg decided to give g*p
a 1st one. but perhaps this story has
2 sides?... perhaps not?... but why
are a lot of dudez playing the judges
and convicting antichrist for everything
... this guy doesn't care a shit anyway.
.. but perhaps he'd listen to sense and
listen to you when you'd approach him
by acting like an adult.
it's not by making a fake propaganda
or writing notes in the name of anti-
christ that you'll make antichrist go
thinking about his acts. as action
creates reaction... this old law was
in the past active and will be active
in the future but by doing all this
a lot of dudez create a warry scene
and if this shit keeps on NOBODY will
be spared...
* well, after reading some cool mags
i decided to give my opinion about
their chapters/texts!...
in brutal recall #007 there was an
anonymous letter of a guy who probably
disliked the u.s. scene a bit!...
well, i've gotta say he was correct
at some points but not at everything.
modeming is a world apart!... i have
always seen it as a final point. or
as a beginning... i know some modem-
traders and they've given me all the
same toughts... modemtrading is the
swapping of the elite, but a lot of
those so-called elite is really
arrogant and think they're simply
the best ("a tina turner-complex!").
anyhow, it's their good right but like
the guy in br.recall i also think that
it's quite UNFAIR to treat the groups
who aren't represented on the boards
as dirt!... to proof this i'll give
an example. a lot of elite groups have
invented a fake label under which they
crack BAD (?) games from game on/dd/
twice effect/.... also the u.s. dudez
have those budget labels under which
they import stuff from euro budget
labels!... WHY? i don't see the point
anymore as they make fun out of these
labels but they still crack it. if they
don't like the games then let them get
their hands off. i read in shock that
those discgames can't be counted as
1st releases and perhaps they're right
but since recently that was the only
shit which groups could crack. nowa-
days the games are improving again.
(t2,turbo charge,...) but only a few
can have the 1st ones and ofcourse
legend is one of the few. but also this
group has a budget label. altough they
dislike german discgames. anywhow, it's
stupid and a lot of wannabee elite
groups invent such a label just to
be part of the clan. this is just
like the SHORT-INTRO-DISCUSSION. it
makes the scene become lamer every
day. the 64 scene is not going down
because of too less games but of too
much assholes and also those so-called
elite dudez are part of this. a lot of
modemtraders have an attitude problem
and it's a closed world. i don't say
that there aren't any good guys (girls)
anymore but if you see what they do
about the sorceress/bod/aycee-affaire.
why do they make a fuss about that?
is that the only thing they do?...
still, as an outstander i won't judge
the modem-scene too hard but i only
want to show that ALSO americans are
normal dudez but who have built up a
reputation as modemtraders.
to come back at those 1st releases i
want to show out that a lot of euro
groups crack from time to time faster
then those elite groups, but because
of no reliable modemtraders they fail
to put their crack on the boards and
even when they put it on a minor board
it's not counted as a 1st release as
it has to put on certain major boards.
this was a problem with trc+tbi with
some of their games and because of
that VERDICT had a 1st one. this also
happened with WOW as we had the 1st
release of superkid in space... we
cracked this game in april 1991...
we didn't put it on the boards because
of the reason given on the previous
page and we also didn't know that it
was a 1st one but then we saw (3 months
later)... 20th june that dom put it
on the boards as 1st release... what
do you think we did?... we laughed
about it as we tought that it was a
joke but it wasn't... still, we don't
care as it was only a budget and we
are under-appreciated like so many
groups. this was partly our problems
but again this happened as we had the
1st one of EURO BOSS aswell as SNOOKER
MANAGER and THE MATCH... 3 budgets
again!... well, we don't care anymore
as we see that our work is appreciated
we are no top 10 group and we admit
this fair and square but the only thing
we want is justice. you might think
i'm talking to promote wow now but
as you could see we're not the only
group which is bad treatened p.e.
also BABYGANG,DUNEX,...etc... are
not treatened at its fullness!...
the groups mentioned above are working
their butts off to get themselves in
the charts but they get almost no
chances. why not? because the lame
voters are to stupid and to dumb to
make up an own opinion.
everybody knows that the charts are
completed either by useless swappers
(of which i'm one!) or by useless
magazine-editors (= prof.cheaters,he
matt!)... but i won't kid around at this
subject as nowadays the coders,gfx-
artists,...etc.. certainly the beginning
ones are looking at the charts to see
how their work is appreciated, but
they are de-motivated by the fact that
always the same dudez are in those
charts... why can't we change the system
?...
i've already given you a way to make the
charts much better by the COUNTRY-VOTE-
SHEET... it's an idea!...
well, enough mind-breaking about this
subject so let's come to a conclusion.
this little discussion (1 way) began
with the u.s. scene and i hope a lot
of those arrogant,self-centred pigs will
change a bit of their characteristics
in order to bring new live to the 64
scene. a lot of freaks are doubting
about the suriving of the 64 and i
think we don't have to think about
it and live the day how it comes.
produce, be active and crack,code,
make gfx or music or just swap...
HAVE FUN. fun... this is a word that
those elite dudez don't know anymore.
they always want to be the best and
the fastest. ofcourse everybody wants
to be number one for some time, but
on the top is a lonely thing. you
loose friends because you don't take
enough time for them and the only thing
you do is loosing grip of REAL LIFE.
like many guys in this scene i take
friendship as THE most important thing
in life aswell as the scene. products
are secondary. all who want to proof
me the reverse can react on anything
which was printed here. i'm responsible.
by the way, shock and mamba ARE pointed
to much to the elite and even mamba
goes a bit contradictional namely...
their news,... are mostly about elite
dudez/groups but on the other hand they
put in addresses of LAME! dudes or
just some asslicking friends as the
mamba editors can choose the addresses
they want to print... either you print
them all or you print none. dis-
crimination sucks!... certainly when
you're a mag.editor!
mamba is certainly not number one
anymore!... corruption isn't also and
shock is certainly the most stylish
one but the text-amount is below sea-
level and it's US-POINTED, but that
was the intention of the magazine...
i guess.
* i also hope that also the newcomers
aswell as the old VETERANS will work
together as all those ELITE CRAPHEADS
think they're something... ofcourse
some guys/groups (5*) can say they've
made it and they can boast about it,
but it are mostly those who never boast!
ofcourse you have some exceptions...
(he goldfish... just kidding stijn)
but i can really laugh and at the same
time make me mad about all those WANNABE
elite... they're so stupid and do every-
thing for an elite group but don't want
to support a new guy or new group!...
LAME!... we in the wow have surely done
some stupid things concerning recruting
members as we've had so much skilled
guys but also a lot of un-skilled guys!
but we've always given them a change to
become something!... this is what it
is all about!... EVERY wow member whose
been a while in the wow will be able to
tell you that we are a close group!...
we want to become something and at the
meantime we don't want to lose our
identity!... that's hard but we're
WARRIORS in a WASTELAND...
so be it... i'm off......
