INSTEAD, TELL_HIM WHAT YOU FEEL ABOUT HIM, MERCILESS.__ELRIC, I SAY THIS TO YOU - YOU KNOW YOU_ARE HATED BY EVERYONE IN TRIAD. DON'T_PUSH YOUR LUCK OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!___^NOW I FEEL I SHOULD TELL YOU THAT WE_ARE IN NO WAY AT WAR WITH FAIRLIGHT, WE_DO NOT HATE THEM, THEY ARE COMPETITORS_AND THIS DEMO IS A JOKE. PEOPLE HAVE A_STRANGE WAY OF DRAMATIZING OUR ACTIONS_BEYOND REASON, SO STAY COOL - AT PEACE!__THE CREDITS FOR THE SAMPLED SOUND GOES_TO 801 DC. YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD IT, BUT_IT REALLY FITS THIS SITUATION TO WELL_NOT TO BE USED. THANK YOU, 8BUG1.__CREDITS FOR THE SOVIET FLAG AS WELL AS_THE PINK ELEPHANT GO TO THE SARGE, A_GENIUS OF HIS OWN KIND. SEND HIM A DOG!_^JEFF SMART ALSO DESERVES A SPECIAL_COMMENT. HE HASN'T BEEN A MEMBER OF_TRIAD FOR LONG, BUT HE IS DEFINATELY A_VERY, VERY COOL GUY AND I KNOW ILLEGAL_HAS A FUTURE, AND I MIGHT BE WRITING IN_IT OCCASSIONALLY.__YOU SEE, JUST BECAUSE I STOP CRACKING_DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO CUT OF ALL_CONTACT WITH THE WORLD I'VE DEVOTED_MYSELF TO FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. INDEED,_I WILL STILL BE A MEMBER OF TRIAD, AND_WHEN SUMMER COMES, I WILL EITHER COME_BACK ON THE 64 OR BREATH SOME LIFE INTO_THE DULL WORLD OF AMIGA PIRACY._^HI-TEC I HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE CONTACT_WITH YOU BUT I THINK YOU ARE A COOL GUY_TOO, SINCE JEFFIE IS SUCH A GOOD FRIEND_OF YOURS! I HOPE WE CAN HAVE SOME NICE_CHATS IN THE FUTURE.__IAN&MIC, GRONK AND ROB: YOUR CAREERS IN_TRIAD DIDN'T START VERY WELL, WE WERE A_LITTLE DISAPPOINTED WHEN NOTHING CAME._AROUND CHRISTMAS YOU MUST HAVE HAD A_DREAM WITH IXION CUTTING YOUR THROATS,_BECAUSE YOU HAVE PRODUCED MORE STUFF_THAN I EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE! THANK YOU_FOR BEING WITH US SINCE THE RELAX TIME!__^THERE ARE MANY MORE I WOULD LIKE TO_THANK BUT I MUST HAVE SOME ROOM FOR THE_GAME SO I WILL PROCEED TO TELL MY LIFE_STORY, IF YOU CARE TO READ IT. I HAVE_BEEN PROGRAMMING ML SINCE '83, I WROTE_ROUTINES, RASTERS AND SUCH THAT WERE_VERY ADVANCED AT THAT TIME BUT, BEING A_TRUE LAMER, I HAD NO WAY OF PUTTING MY_PRODUCTS OUT INTO THE THEN VERY SMALL_MARKET.__^INSTEAD I PERFECTED MY GREAT SKILLS,_AND WHEN THE OCCASION CAME, I WROTE A_VERY LAME-LIKE LETTER TO THE EVER-_FAITHFUL MR.PINGE, CONTAINING A PLEAD_FOR HIM TO MAKE ME A MEMBER OF THE_GREAT WEST COAST CRACKERS. STARING AT_THE PHONE FOR A WEEK MADE ME MAD, IN_THE END I PICKED IT UP MYSELF, AND,_SUMMONING ALL MY COURAGE, DIALED HIS_NUMBER.__^THIS PHONECALL CONVINCED ME FOR GOOD,_THAT MR.PINGE WAS A GOD, EVEN THOUGH AT_THAT TIME I COULD NOT JOIN WCC. LATER I_DID, THOUGH, AND SOMEHOW THAT TRIGGERED_A BREAK THAT HAD BEEN BUILDING UP FOR_SOME TIME. FAIRLIGHT AND RELAX SAW THE_LIGHT OF THE WORLD. I, MR.PINGE AND A_FEW OTHER EX-WCC MEMBERS FORMED RELAX_WITH SOME NEW ONES.__^FAIRLIGHT HAD ORIGINALS, AND GOT AN_INCREDIBLE START, WE HAD 1 ORIGINAL A_MONTH TO CRACK, BUT DID FAIRLY WELL AT_THE TIME. THEN CAME MY FIRST 'GOOD'_CRACKS: LAST NINJA & ROAD RUNNER! THEY_WERE BOTH SEVERELY BUGGED, BUT THEY_WERE THE FIRST TO CONTAIN THE SPECIAL_'JANITOR' SHORTNESS QUALITY (I'M NOT_GOING TO WASTE TIME BEING MODEST) AND_WERE SPREAD EVERYWHERE.__^THEN CAME THE SPECTACULAR, UNEXPECTED_JOINING OF TRIAD. IT WASN'T EASY TO_CHOOSE - 'BOUGHT FAME' BUT QUICK AND_RELIABLE ORIGINALS, OR STRUGGLING ON_WITH YOUR OWN GROUP, TAKING IT TO THE_TOP. NOW I KNOW WE DID THE RIGHT THING._THEN CAME THE TRIADCRACKS THAT TOOK US_BACK TO THE TOP, AFTER A LITTLE DECLINE_FOLLOWING MR.Z'S RETIREMENT.__^THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS: THIS SUCCESS WAS_AT THE EXPENSE OF MY EDUCATION AND_FINALLY I THOUGHT - THIS CAN'T GO ON, I_HAVE 5 MONTHS LEFT IN SCHOOL, I MUST_GET GOOD GRADES BECAUSE I WILL KEEP_THEM ALL MY LIFE. SO, HERE I AM DOING_THIS. MANY WILL BE SURPRISED.__^BEFORE I LEAVE, I WANT TO TELL YOU_WHAT I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO ACHIEVE FOR_A VERY LONG TIME. YOU MIGHT NOW THAT I_HAVE CUT OF ALL EXPORTING CONTACT WITH_THE USA. MANY WONDERED WHY, AND THIS IS_THE REASON...IN THE US, ALL TRADING IS_DONE OVER MODEM. THIS LEADS TO A VERY_DEMORALIZING ATTITUDE - SPEED BEFORE_QUALITY. WHY? A CRACK IN EUROPE IS_SUCCESSFUL IF IT IS GOOD. A CRACK IN_THE USA ISN'T SUCCESSFUL - EITHER IT'S_THERE OR NOT! THERE IS 1 VERSION OF_EVERY GAME AND THAT'S THE FIRST ONE,_BECAUSE 'RELEASING OLD GAMES IS LAME'__^THIS ISN'T WHAT WE WANT! MADALL, A_VERY INTELLIGENT GUY, WROTE ABOUT THIS_IN THE ILLEGAL - HE WAS RIGHT. IN THE_END, YOU WANT THE CRACK TO WORK. WHEN_YOU GET A SENDING, YOU MIGHT LIKE THAT_IT'S FAST, BUT THE VERSION YOU REMEMBER_LATER ISN'T THE FIRST ONE YOU GET! IT'S_THE TRIAD VERSION!__THANKFULLY, AMIGA TRADING VIA MODEM IS_IMPRACTICAL AS LONG AS THE CONNECTIONS_ARE NOT VASTLY IMPROVED. THERE'S STILL_HOPE, DON'T LOSE YOUR GUIDING LIGHT!__^THIS IS MY MESSAGE TO YOU, THIS IS_WHAT I HOPE TO HAVE LEFT AFTER ME: A_GENERATION OF CRACKERS WHO WORK ON THE_GAME UNTIL THEY WORK. IGNORE CRIES FOR_SPEED! IGNORE USA PHONECALLS! IGNORE_EVERYTHING BUT THE FINE ART OF_PRODUCING -THE PERFECT CRACK-...__^IT'S TIME TO END THIS TEXT NOW BUT_BEFORE I DO THAT I WANT TO SEND SOME_GREETINGS TO PERSONS WHO I HAVE HAD_CONTACT WITH AND LIKED.__OF COURSE, THE INNER CIRCLE OF THE_TRIAD GROUP - STEFAN, DAN, PETER - I_HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE YOUR SUCCESS.__IAN/FUSION, ONLY SPOKE TO YOU TWICE,_BUT YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A_GREAT CRACKER. TAKE MY ADVICE AND BURN_YOUR MODEM.__^MR.Z OF COURSE, I OWE A LOT TO YOU,_ESPECIALLY THE RULES OF FINE CRACKING.__ROBERT/BEASTIES, A LONG TIME AGO BUT I_LIKED YOU. I SUPPOSE YOUR MOTHER GOT_THAT PHONEBILL.__JOE/FBR, ONE OF FEW DECENT AMERICANS.__THE TRI-ANGLERS, WE HAD SOME FUN AT_THAT COPYPARTY. COZMIX, I'LL REPLY TO_THAT LETTER AS SOON AS I GET SOME REAL_PEACE AND QUIET.__^MATCHAM, MY BEST PEN-PAL EVER, WE MUST_HAVE USED A FOREST FOR ALL THAT PAPER._IT'S OUTERSPACE & THE TRIAL, HIT SPACE!__FONZI, I WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK WITH_YOUR HOUSE, YOUR WIFE AND YOUR GROUP.__GOLLUM, EVEN THOUGH YOUR CRACKS LOOK A_LOT LIKE MINE YOU HAVE A VERY ORIGINAL_TALENT. WITH ME GONE, YOU'LL BE BEST.__TONI, WHEN YOU'RE NOT TALKING AMERICAN_OR ABOUT AMERICANS YOU'RE A COOL DUDE.__^I'M SURE I HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMEONE WHO_WILL BE OFFENDED, BUT IF I HAVE HAD_CONTACT WITH YOU I LIKED YOU, SINCE_PEOPLE I DON'T LIKE GET SLAGGED OFF_RATHER QUICKLY, MANY AMERICANS CAN TELL_YOU AWFUL STORIES ABOUT ME._^THIS IS IT. GOODBYE, REALITY. I'M OFF_TO DREAMLAND, TO BECOME ANOTHER BRICK_IN SOCIETY. PERHAPS I'LL SLIP IN NOW_AND THEN TO CHECK ON YOU ALL, DON'T_FORGET I'M WATCHING YOU.______ BIG BROTHER JANITOR,_ THE 23RD OF FEBRUARY, 1988._^ - VUW_JSTR]^ZY[ !%$/"# - ! ! ! !!! ! - ! ! ! ...THE HOME OF THE REAL CRACKERS -
