Sail Ho! This time it's me: Brix.
Again Greanpeace nearly died of a
Heart-attack of all members,as they
saw over 150 bottle-mailings swimming
in the sea... Well a big Demonstration
was held in Tortugas Harbour , when
they saw all the Bottles swimming to
our recidents.. But two loads of
cannonballs did their best,and the
party lost interest in blocking the
harbour-entrance soon.Strange,isn' it?
Well as I have my 19th BIRTHDAY today
(the 31st October'92) I'll send out
ONE BOTTLE OF PURE RUM FOR THE LONGEST
REACTION I recieved from you..
..not caring about if its good or bad!
(No Fake !!! I will !!)
O.k. now here's the first reaction:

*From Tyrant of Accuracy
Network Issue#02 was the best discmag
I've ever seen! Specially the kickin
cool Intro gives the right enjoyment..
Really cool GFX, letz make the charts
bigger than only 10 rulers!
How about 30 Rulers?
Ok just an Idea... Go on with this
fab Mag!
Tyrant/Accuracy'92
[!]Brix: Yoh ! Thanx for this great
-------- reaction ! As you have seen
we did not keep the Intro
and we probably will have a
new one,every Issue.. I hope
you'll enjoy them also.
Well,to the charts:
If you already had a look at
them,you've seen it.
Satisfied ? (Of course we
won't stop typing!)
*From Merlin of Epic
It's really great coded, msx & gfx are
above the usual level, keep it up, and
print more texts.
I like your mag a lot!
[!]PJD: First let me thank you for the
nice reaction. Let me spend a
few words about the code. Have
you tested the F-keys or joy
up and down? See you in Venlo!
*from Brother Marquis/Madhouse
Really cool Mag ya've maded,but please
write in the Addy Chapter the points
to the persons too,because nobody
knows which person to contact.
Keep on making this mag.
[!]Brix: Seems your Mailbottle had a
-------- little longer way.. ofcourse
this must be a reaction to
Issue #01,you see we did it.
*From Bizarre of Trance
All in all, the mag is in my Top 10,
well I personally prefer white letters
on black background than black on
white, but that's unimportant.
What about writing more names into the
charts? Top 10 groups and Top 5 guys
is fuckin far to little, eh?
Why don't ya list all who reached a
limit of 10 Points [or choose another
amount]. Good that ya removed these
strange average points!
.
Ok, see ya soon! Bye, Jose.
[!]PJD: Again we have to be thankful
for the praise, but our screen
is supposed to be grey with
no black letters on it..
To the charts, we actally have
no idea, how to extend the
charts, but ofcause they will
become longer...
next a (I'm afraid very expensive for
me) reaction from Calt of Graffity:
I like your mag since the first Issue.
It was all the features which make
this mag outstanding comparing to the
other ones.The Intro (at Issue #2) is
a very stylish one,fits well to the
strange image of the crew.The Outfit
of the mag itself is better than 95%
of the many others with black colors
The logo in Issue #02 has the
orininality so it really makes a
difference as it is not a usual,boring
pixelation.The page shifting is again
a never seen effect in mags,but it was
a disadvantage when an article is too
long your board turns white getting to
the required page. A page selection
option would be fine. Anyway,it's
userfriendly. About the text: just the
optimum quantity after two Issues.Let
me highlight one positive thing: I've
been always looking for mags which has
a very important feature: humor.
There existed (and still exists) only
one mag in which a sort of sense of
humor was hidden: it's SCRIPT. But now
your mag also contains a bit of it.
If a mag is edited without humor :
That's work. With humor: that's fun
(to read)! Don't forget it,please !
All in all I like to read this mag and
I hope,you will be publising it for
a long time and see yourself in the
charts as a payment for the great
entertainment you make. Much luck to
the staff and the mag!
-Calt/Graffity
[!]Brix:..Oh,Oh! In fact it will be
very expensive for me because:
----: ----:
YOU ARE THE LUCKY WINNER
OF ONE BOTTLE OF PURE RUM
FOR WRITING THE LONGEST
REACTION AT MY 19th BIRTHDAY!!
..hope you're not on a kind of
abstinence-trip !! We'll ofcause mail
it to you together with the mag..
Please gimme a reaction to the Rum's
casualities,O.K.,Pal ? Now I'll give
the keyboard to PJD , so he can give
his reaction to it.. see you ! -Brix
Very nice reaction, and we're glad
that you like it. To the humor. I'm
not swapping that much, that I can
analyse the humor in Script. But it's
cool to have the second humorous mag..
*From Sgt.Pepper of Excess
Nice and cool Issue#2, but the Charts
can be a little bit bigger.
[!]PJD: Uncle-baby (From Venice).
Yes, we'll extend the charts,
so you'll get your chance to
enter the charts..
..satisfied?
Now a crazy-one from Chotaire/???
filled life in Venlo..
Network is ja voll Affentitte...
Hauptsache,Chotaire is in den Charts,
HoHo ! Jetzt aber mal im Ernst: Nicht
schlecht,aber ihr braucht mehr Voter !
Go on Pals !
yours CHOTAIRE
[!]Brix:(this one's only for people
who can understand the german
language).. Ja,ja! Hauptsache Chotaire
hat die satisfaction ein Charter zu
sein.. wie waehrs,wenn du schon mal
anfaengst zu Voten ?? Jetzt mache ich
aber mal Ernst (Lechz !)..
Solltest du es wagen nach Venlo zu
kommen , werden wir dich zwingen noch
einen Votesheet zu fuellen,behalte das
immer in deinem Hinterkopf , O.K. ??
See you Pal !
*From Syndrom of Tia and Padua
Hi Network-Staff!
Your last issue was really good.
A cool logo, cool music, good text,
what else do you need?
But something I don't like that much:
-Why only Top 5-Charts in some
cathegories? make Top 10 at least!
-Don't let the music restart all the
time, you load a new chapter, please
remove it.
Ok, that's it. Hope to get soon a
fresh issue.
Syndrom/TIA/Padua
[!]PJD: Thank you for the reaction and
the advices.
The charts will be extended in
this issue, but to the music
problem I have to say, that I
have to switch it off to
restart the menue, but I'm
working hard.
We also got the music from T.Error
for Network and we'll place it in
issue #04, but this time we decided to
publish Ragmans' musics, just because
they are not bad and he's working hard
on them. Be glad,if you own the C64 II
because the musics are not working
100% with the old SID-chip..
That's it, I'll try my best and if you
don't like the music than use joy up
and down. Perhaps more musics in issue
number four....
...now a little-one from Rebel/TSR:
Cool start to a cool mag,keep up the
good work !
[!]Brix:Yes,if I believe the reactions
our mag get's cooler and
cooler.. but see: We mustn't
write too cool texts,because
I'm afraid of getting FROZEN..
But we'll try our best to
keep cool enough for extending
our 'Best before'-Date.. thanx for
reacting on our mag !!
Now this one's by ZZAP/Gothic/Epic:
How about take the Big Face in the
mittle of the Votesheet away ?
and from Haegarr Ex-Sunrise:
Cut off that fucking painting in the
middle of yar vote-sheet. I can't
write and you can't read anything..
[!]PJD: To you two, I must say thanks
for the reaction, but we like
the sheet and there is
probably enough place to fill
in. Would be funny to recieve
a crazy filled sheet. To the
'You can't read anything'-
phrase. ^ It's not my problem,
as A-Bomp counts the votes
everytime, he,he! He never
made a sign of 'Do not know what this
is...', so I think he can read it...
Anyway, if you hate it, but you want
to vote in NETWORK , than contact
Darkman of Extacy for a version of our
sheet, without the picture....
Ofcause we'll do a new one, when it's
time to, so stay tuned....
..So you see the last one,who exits
the communication-post of our ship
wanking through the dark night,on
the wet streets,with a dull mind
and a filled stomach.. and some more
alcohol in his blood... So the
harbour gets quiet again..
(like Calt of Graffity after his
bottle RUM,maybe..)
..since this chapter is over now,you
should break the silence using your
big,harmful GUN... -PJD/Brix
