Pure Bollocks Issue 22_011
---------------------------------
* S A D * C A S E * C O R N E R *

OK, we've been putting up a couple of nominations for Sad Case ourselves, but
if you have a nomination, then send it and some "evidence" ie text files,
scrolltext, programs or whatever, to us.
Now about the winner of this year. I think the readers should decide who it
is, so let me suggest that in the last issue of this year, we list all the
nominations, and ask people to vote for their choice on a single transferrable
vote (ie preferential vote), and the winner of the award should be announced in
the first issue of '94! Fair enough?
----------------------------------------------
OK, you've seen one nomination already, so time for......
SAD CASE '93 - NOMINATION NUMBER 2 - APPEARING IN PURE BOLLOCKS #22
This is a really obvious one! For PB #22 we present the nomination for
RUTHLESS/EXTREME as Sad Case of the Year '93
NOMINATION 2 : RUTHLESS/EXTREME/JAMES.
NOMINATED : EGB'S SMELLY SOX
SECONDED : FLOWERMAN
----------------------------------------------------------------
OK, we've decided to show you a couple of articles he did when he was
Ruthless of Awesome. He did them for Toxic disk mag issue 2:
<< HI YA' LL, THIS IS RUTHLESS OF AWESOME AND I AM GOING TO TALK SOME BULLSHIT
TO HELP MY GOOD FRIEND, ZINE OF T.S.B, TO FILL UP THIS EPISODE OF THE TOXIC
DISK MAGAZINE.
WELL, WE AT AWESOME AT CURRENTLY PLANNING A MEGA-DEMO OF OUR OWN AND IF
ANY GROUPS OR SINGLE CODERS WOULD LIKE TO DO A SCREEN THEN WRITE TO THE
ADDRESS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS DOC. >>
I wonder whatever happened to the megademo!
<< WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR HOT SUPPLIERS OF DEMOS, COMPILES, MENUS, ORIGINALS,
MUSIC OR ANYTHING ELSE, SO IF YOU WANT TO CONTACT US THEN READ THE BOTTOM.
I AM REALLY PLEASED AT THE WAY THAT AWESOME HAVE TAKEN OFF, WE SEEM TO BE
DOING BIG BUISNESS NOT JUST IN THE U.K BUT ALSO IN EUROPE AND ALL OVER THE
REST OF THE WORLD! >>
Hmmmm! Awesome have taken off, but they're still looking for "hot" suppliers of
originals, compils, menus, etc.....! Does this mean they've taken off using
unoriginal ripped stuff!!
<< WHAT HAPPENED WAS I USED TO BE IN A CREW CALLED THE DREAM WEAVERS AND ONE
DAY I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO HAVE MY OWN CREW WHICH I
COULD START FOR MYSELF AND MAKE BIG. >>
Mmmmmm..... His "own" crew. Doesn't that tell us anything? Like he's doing it
to boost his ego?
<< HOW TO MAKE A SUCCESFUL MENU CREW
=================================
WELL YOU NEED THE FOLLOWING THINGS:- >>
OK then, let's see how Ruthless measures up to his own words:
<< 1.) A GOOD CODER! >>
Have we seen Ruthless code anything yet?
<< 2.) A MODEM MAN IN THE GROUP! >>
Well you certainly had one in Awesone and Quartex ST, judging by the amount of
cracks you've ripped off!
<< 3.) A FAST SUPPLIER OF ALL SOFTWARE! >>
Ruthless certainly knows a lot about this! After Awesome and Hotline, he was an
originals supplier for the REPLICANTS!!!! It was basically his job to send all
of the latest titles ONLY to them- so he sent them to every group he knew!
<< 4.) A G.F.X PERSON! >>
Bit of an irony there- seeing as you ripped a 3D demo with a text displayer off
the original source code! And what you put in the text displayer wasn't very
nice either!
<< 5.) YOU MUST BE NICE TO ALL PEOPLE ON SCROLLERS, EVEN PEOPLE WHO ARE BAD
ABOUT YOU! >>
Ha ha! This was obviously before he violently slagged off Genesis for doing an
animated pic of him sheep-shagging! And before he did the "Derek MD Telephone
Demo"- which was meant to make Derek MD look a bit stupid! And what was that
you put on your 3D demo/menu? Something about a couple of well known groups
being informers for FAST & APP?!?!?
<< 6.) YOU MUST DEAL WITH LOTS & LOTS OF PEOPLE, INCLUDING LAMERS! >>
Well, you certainly know about that!!!!
The other article is a sort of "Awesome news" column:
<< Ok I will start with the group status. This week I have kicked Zelda out
of the group and Techno has informed me that he will leave us in the new
year. More members of Awesome will be kicked out very soon and just to be
fair to these people I will say who they are... Onixus , please do some
constructive work instead of destructive work on Raton and please start
doing more distribution... Editman, please upload the menus correctly with
out leaving bad tracks in the middle of an m.s.a. file... Phoenix, are you
dea? Come on do some more work... Jolly Roger, what happened? All of this
stuff you were going to do and nothing has turned up! At this point I
would like to welcome our new member to the group who goes by the name of
Dominion. He is a fantastic coder and a top class cracker/filer etc. >>
You can hear the whips cracking, can't you? He's not very nice to the other
people in his group, is he? Especially slagging off Jolly Roger and Editman,
who have probably done more than Ruthless will ever do! I bet you don't know
what happened to Dominion.
<< If I do decide to kick the 4 lazy members of the group out then there will
be 6 members left and so I will be looking for maybe 2 new members. So if
you can crack, file, code, do good gfx, do good music, supply originals,
offer me a hard drive or anything else that we might find useful then can
you please write to the address at the bottom of the file. >>
Sigh.... You can dream on! I notice he's again putting this desperate "please
write to me" tone in again! I mean, what with Jolly Roger, Editman, and The
Bald Eagle in his group, you'd think everybody would WANT to be contacts!!
Perhaps there's a good reason for this lack of contacts!
<< We are currently on menu 15 and still seem to be getting a nice welcome
not just in Britain and the rest of Europe but in the whole of the world!
We did manage to kill off old Automation by recruiting The Bald Eagle too.
>>
What? And you're proud of that, are you?? You actually wanted RUTHLESS and
AWESOME to be known as the group that killed off Automation, the best ever CD
crew on the ST!
<<I mean there are one or two small time crews who think that they can
match us but no real the group, but we still have no real competition. Now that
there is no more Automation, Medway Boys, The Pompey Pirates quitting on 100,
B.B.C doing demos there are not a great deal of British crews left. >>
You must have been pig-sick when Cynix, De-Bug, Pure Energy (including ex-
Ruthless Frosty) just HAD to come along and spoil the show! And really annoyed
when the Pompey Pirates didn't die!
<< Below is a quick top ten of who I think are the top ten menu crews around,
I have not included Awesome because I should not be fair!
1. Superior
2. Pompey Pirates
3. The Syndicate
3. Fuzion
5. Impact
6. Orion
7. Mad Vision (Factory)
8. Now 5
9. Clockwork Orange
10. The Evil Force
Well do you agree with my top ten? No, you think you should put Awesome in
third place and move everyone else down a slot! I agree totally... >>
Hold on, that's not fair!
