? for how long have you been into the 64
  scene. or in other words : please tell
  us when you entered the world of the
  commodore 64 - and it's scene?

! in the summer 1988 i bought my c-64
  inc. hardware.i swapped with lists
  some games.1989 i joined a lame crew
  called crown cracking service and '91
  again such a lame group called black
  bolt.this group only freezed games
  and linked intro's,most with intro-
  makers.we only swapped with lamercrews
  like turtle power etc. (have you ever
  heard from them??? it was not a real
  scenegroup.in summer 91 i was caught
  by grafenreuth.i was sentenced to work
  60 hours in a youthcentre.
  when i was caught,i stopped gameswap
  and only continued swapping with my
  few real scenecontacts.
  in october 1991 i built up excess with
  sentinel,darkman,firelord and bigfoot.
  sentinel and i are the only former-
  members,who are still in.



? in which groups have you been before?

! 1989-90 crown cracking service
  1990-91 black bolt
  1991-   excess

  in september 92 i was 2 weeks in
  x-rated.


? your handle red rock.
  is there a special story to it?
  please tell how you got it!

! there's no story.firelord/excess had
  the idea,when i swapped without any
  handle in summer 1989.


? what is your memberstatus and job in
  your current group ?

! i'm mainly cracker,but i also swap
  with about 50 guys.i had 130 contacts,
  when darkman gave me his contacts in
  summer '92 (when he quitted),but as
  i prefer long letters (if possible),
  i gave many to spermbird.i edit some
  chapters for nitro and want to start
  something with my modem soon.

  your favourite friend(s) in the scene

? well rather many oxy's i'm flattered!!

! jack alien,nightshade,the silver sur-
  fer,mr.brain,biz kid,dr.disk,bizarre
  and some more....


? yeah a whole lot of things you liked.
  but what about things you dislike!

  is there any particulary phenomena or
  mayby dudes you do not like in the
  scene. give us the story!!

! i don't like those people,who still
  care about my past in the scene.


? what is your plans for the future ?
  both in the scene and in private !

! in private i want to get a good
  result in my apprentice,when i have
  the final test in 2 1/2 years.
  in the scene i want to go on like
  always.perhaps i want to do some-
  thing with my modem,soon.


? the c64 scene unfortunately can't live
  forever !
  when it dies (in a lot of years!!)
  what will you then do?
  jump to the (l)amiga or pc, or simply
  quit the entire compy-scene?

! i think,that i will buy a pc before,
  and when the scene dies,i try to con-
  tinue there.but i try to hold contact
  to my best friends.


? people often talk about a lamer.
  but what is a lamer?. please give me
  your definition !

! i don't care about this crap anymore.
  there will ever be elite,who call the
  non-elite-guys lamers.
  beginners are no lamers in my eyes.
  perhaps those people,who can't do any-
  thing on the 64,and slag on people in
  less good groups.


           about your contacts
           -------------------

     and some more....

? do you prefer legal stuff or cracks
  from your contacts.?

! i prefer own stuff.legal or illegal.
  but if they send no own stuff,they
  should send legal.

? do you use cheated stamps ?

! not anymore!!!

? why not?

! i was caught twice.once i had to pay
  not that much.it was in 1990.but when
  i was caught in 1991,i was sentenced
  to pay 4000 german marks.my parents
  now must pay 200 german marks each
  month,till end of 1993.
  by the way,my parents don't allow me
  cheating anymore,but stopped it on
  my own,as i won't get caught again.
  i told all my contacts to avoid the
  stampcheating,but i can't forbit this.
  i don't take sendings if i must pay
  FOR CHEATED STAMPS.but if i only must
  pay for too less stamps,it's differ-
  rent.i pay for the sendings and tell
  those contacts about that fact.


? magazines! some people say there's too
  many - some say there's not!!
  what do you think?

! i like reading nearly all mags,and i
  think,there are not too much mags.but
  all who start a mag now,must believe,
  that it's always harder to get sheets.
  many swappers are fed up with filling
  out votesheets.now we in nitro get
  around 250 sheets each issue,but i
  don't believe,that we can hold this
  amount.

? they for one thing sure keep the scene
  alive, but what about demos?
  what do you think about the quality of
  the demos produced nowadays?

! i like GOOD demo's,but what was re-
  leased in the past 1/2 year,was very
  average till bad.
  i hope,the top-demogroups shock the
  scene again with some great routines,
  if they release their demo's on the
  x-mas party '93.


? what is your advice to all the demo -
  producing groups, concerning their
  future productions?

! black mail should release d.breeze 2,
  and censor should make a better last
  demo on the 64.wonderland 10 wasn't
  that good.


? if you had the opportunity to build up
  a new group - which persons would you
  like to join ?


! coders       : tts,mr.rage,tron

  musicians    : a-man,decoy,echo

  gfx'ers      : gotcha,alien prophet

  swappers     : all our swappers

  modemtraders : cst,majesty,dr.disk

  crackers     : jack alien,sentinel
                 and powerplant.



               brainstorm!
               -----------
