¶d§1¬3 Murderer In The Scene? ¬2 Written By Cloud/Desire ¬1 I'm clever enough to realize this article would lose all its strength when it would contain false facts and lies so I have checked this article carefully on 'untrue' things and I can assure you ¬2everything is true¬1. In ¬3June 1992¬1 I got a letter from a boy in the Dutch city Rotterdam who wanted to swap with me. He had send me a cool trackmo. Human Target by Melon Dezign. For those who can't remember, Human Target was released on one of the Easter parties. For those who aren't able to remember the date of Easter: ¬214-15 April¬1. A very quick calculation showed me that this trackmo was 'only' a few months old. A lamer or a beginner? His letter was normal, he wrote something about himself and that he wanted to swap ¬21-2 months¬1 new stuff. Hmmmm..... After asking some other Dutch swappers I concluded that his group was totally unknown. I didn't have many Dutch contacts and perhaps he could become better with some support. I wrote back. By now I wish I did not. His name was Ravedown of the group ¬3Size¬1. Now he is ¬4Ravedown/Vicious¬1. Nearly a year later he, Ravedown, was the one who kicked me out of Vicious. He even threatened me with very strange things. ¬2Vicious¬1 was formed in October '92 by Junebug, Ellesar and me. Later Ravedown joined and he took over the HQ from Junebug who left the scene. At the moment §ARavedown§1 is changing history by claiming that he was the one who formed Vicious. ¬3He's lying.¬1 It's true that while I had a chat with him after the release of our ¬2bad borntro¬1 he suggested to change the name. But in a few seconds I convinced him that the name Vicious was ok. He claims that Vicious under his leadership is another group than under Junebug's leadership. ¬3That's nonsens¬1, the reason why he claims this is to have some more power. He can kick somebody quicker when he wants because he is the 'only' founder of Vicious. I was very useful for Vicious. ¬3Together with Twain Pain¬1 I set up ¬2Megazin¬1. I have 'saved' Megazin twice. Without me there would never have been any issue of Megazin released §a(Twain Pain agrees with me.)§1 In the first issue I wrote nearly all of the articles because there weren't many other articlewriters. In the second issue some people like ¬2Colorbird/Noxious¬1 (now Scoopex) decided to support Megazin so I didn't have to write that many articles anymore. The number of articles I have written for the two first issues of Megazin (and were good enough to be placed) is ¬455¬1. I also asked several friends and/or contacts of mine to write for Megazin. I was actually the only one in Vicious who wrote more than a few articles for ¬2Megazin¬1. Let's forget about the unoriginal 5-minute article 'Everyone is cool' by ¬3Twain Pain¬1 in issue one. I can't call editorial crap, like instructions and the PD-message, nor songtexts articles. In two issues §aeven four§1 articles by MCA with reviews of movies and music. ¬2Fila¬1 tried to 'write' an article by translating an uninteresting article straight from a magazine/book. I've seldom seen such a bad and boring translation of a boring article. I was actually suprised ¬2Fila¬1 wasn't able to get a better article out of his big head. But, we shouldn't forget that people writing such a relative massive amount of articles (1) nearly always write a few or one boring article too... ¬2Crew 01¬1 wrote a very useful (seriously, this time) article about 1200 coding. Even our illiterate ¬2Ravedown¬1 made attempts to write an article! He wrote some information about Vicious and some propaganda for himself. Total amount of articles by all current members of Vicious: ¬37¬1. I have written nearly eight times more articles than Twain Pain, MCA, Ravedown, Crew 01 and Fila together. ¬3Don't get me wrong¬1, I'm not blaming them for their small (article-) support for Megazin. I'm not somebody who wants to show how great or cool he his, but I can't remember Twain Pain or Ravedown saying ¬2'thanks'¬1 to me for my articles. Instead of respect for my hard work I only get an anti-article and complaints from both ¬2Twain Pain¬1 and ¬2MCA¬1. If they know how an article should be written, why don't they write them themselves? About that anti-article, it was written by a friend of MCA and it was even placed by ¬2Twain Pain¬1, I don't understand why Twain Pain placed it. He shouldn't have censored it so the absolute ridiculous parts wouldn't have been removed, ¬3the uncensored article would have been laughed away¬1. By the way, that wasn't the only time ¬2Twain Pain¬1 let me down. He placed an ¬3unfinished article¬1, which I asked him not to place. This totally unfinished article about football in Italy made the Italians go mad. I can't blame them (Rocketeer/Ram Jam among others) because they are right, except for one thing. ¬3They say it's lame to produce many low-quality articles to fill the diskmagazine.¬1 Perhaps it is lame, but it certainly works! Now Megazin gets a lot more support and every issue the amount of bad articles will decrease. With this I only want to show that ¬3I invested a LOT¬1 of time in writing articles for Megazin, and after I have made the §A'path'§1 to the top free for Megazin I can shut up. I expect people to think 'hey, they managed it to get again enough support for the second issue so let's support it'. I know I'm right because after the second issue Twain Pain (Now and then I still have contact with him) received ¬330¬1 articles by mail from many different people. §ASorry, Twain Pain§1, that even you aren't safe, but sometimes it was inevitable. On the other hand we both know that we ¬3BOTH¬1 invested a lot of time and motivation on Megazin while YOU get the '¬4fame¬1' and I get the ¬4dirt¬1. The first couple of reasons given by Ravedown to kick me were ¬3that nobody likes me in Vicious¬1. Of course if nearly whole group hates a certain person who can perhaps be missed this person should be kicked immediatly, especially if he's a swapper. Arrogant and sneaky persons are a real danger to the group, the group may fall apart in the worsed case. But I have no trouble at all with most of the members like Godfather, Kutla (Nao), Fletcher, Shocker, Strike, Cult Jam (he left on the same day as I was kicked), Ato (Facet), DVO, Kayo and Solid. ¬2Kayo¬1 is a friend of mine and ¬2Solid¬1 is my best friend outside and inside the scene. The persons I suspect to dislike me are actually §A'friends'§1 of Ravedown so Ravedown perhaps had the impression that everybody in Vicious dislikes me because he hasn't got much contact with other Vicious members. Most members in Vicious don't know eachother so it's virtually impossible that many in Vicious dislike me and even IF they would Ravedown wouldn't know it. The second reason Ravedown gave was ¬3"And of course your articles eh? Personally I can't say anything about that because I never read articles but MCA..."¬1 On a later telephone call he tried to convince me that ¬3I was not kicked because of my articles¬1. I think he was afraid of another Cybersonik incident, which gave Anarchy bad publicity. I suppose words aren't needed for this. If I would have been kicked in a normal way then I would be a pittyful complaining boy. Instead of trying to explain me the situation and tell me in an decent way I was kicked, he thought he was making world's biggest joke. I was called up by a guy who hang up the horn after he said only one sentence, ¬3"you're kicked out of Vicious"¬1. I dialed Ravedowns telephonenumber to ask him about this, and he tried to confuse me by telling it was nonsense, then saying I actually was kicked, then saying that he was just kidding and finally saying §aI was really kicked§1. When I asked why he said ¬3"because you are so stupid, hear this.."¬1. He hang up the horn. Ten minutes later I was called up by someone I didn't know who had a message from Ravedown. The message was that I was really kicked, in case I didn't believe it. I will spare you from making a complete report of the phonecall I made with Ravedown after this, but I can tell you it was impudent. I was astonished to find out ¬3Ravedown was my enemy¬1 instead of my good friend, which I've always thought. During my last telephonecall with our §Adear§1 Ravedown showed his low intelligence and his weakness. He repeated several times I shouldn't do anything against him in the like of bad publicity (articles, messages and news). His biggest fear was that ¬3I would spread internal secrets¬1. He started threating me with a few strange things. He was actually serious and not kidding at all. An example he came up with was ¬3giving a trainticket and money to a drugs-addict and the mission to kill me.¬1 When I laughed at him he said: ¬3"Serious! I will kill you for sure if you spread the truth about Ato and Kutla! No one will be able to prove it was me. My friends are doing these kind of things too.. And I have many friends!"¬1 I suppose comments aren't needed for this, right? I hope §aRavedown§1 doesn't ever dare to use the word 'friendship' again! I really can't stand his ¬2ego-centric¬1 and ¬2selfish character¬1. But I have to say that he's an expert in knowing whose ass he has got to kiss... ¬3§ATP REACTS:§1¬1 Ok we are so brave to place this, but we must make a few remarks to this great article by Cloud. The remarks we have are purely §APERSONAL§1 and only about the thing we call Megazin!! ¬2- We checked the official paper containing the articlelist of Megazin 1 and we counted over 7 articles of ourselfs in that issue alone. Thereby not counting editorial and songtexts. ¬3- We gave you no thanks? We GAVE you thanks, but you were probably too busy with yourself to hear it. (ouch) ¬2- Sorry for being sometimes a little less subtle with our criticism. I guess you call constructive criticism complaining. We don't. ¬3- Unfinished articles should NOT be send to us. ¬2- So WE get the fame and YOU get the dirt? Should I remind you about the fact that ¬4YOU wanted YOUR OWN mag?¬2 We offered you a place in our team, even though you'd left Vicious. YOU didn't join... ¬1Also I can add that Kayo and DVO are still members of Vicious! I can go on a little while, marking points about Megazin YOU see wrong, but I don't. Hope that satisfies you...
