@1@ Interview with@3@ Kopara/MAD ELKS@1@ by @3@Flynn/OUTLAWS. @2@------------------------------------------------ @1@- Pleaze, introduce yourself (handle, real name, age, function(s)...) @3@- Hi everybody! And especially you, Flynn. First thing I wanna to say is important. In the top of this sheet you can read MAD ELKS of MYSTIC. Since last few days this is untrue!!! We are not a subgroup of MYSTIC any more. Official speech from MST is like 'low productivity' but it's not true as they know it for 2 or 3 months as well as we do. Real purpose is... XTD! Their member in Poland, my former friend. As we had party 3 weeks ago and he got kicked during it as a trouble maker (second big party this year and he got kicked second time...) he started war against us and this is small bat- tle of it. He simply gave them an ultimatum. Xtd or MDE. Ok, I think it's enough about this topic in this introduction, let's continue with better stuff... As we look above (second time...) we can read 'Interview with Kopara / MAD ELKS', so I think that must be me. I'm not sure, but let's say... Kopara as a Polish word means 'excavator' in English or 'graafmachine' in German. Friend gave me such nickname, why, I still don't know. My real name is Krzysztof Kopczynski if it make you feeling safier. You can say your mum as well that I'm 19. My number of contacts says that I'm main swapper in MAD ELKS, and I'm trying to organize us a little bit as well. What else I can say about myself ?!?! I've got ordinary 3 hands and 6 legs, but I think it won't be interesting for ya. My IQ is low at the moment, about 230. @1@- How long have you been engaged in the scene and which groups have you been member before? @3@- I'm active in the scene for 1.5 year. I's born as a swapper, with disk-box full of hot stuff in 1 of my three hands, so I do this job for all the time. My first group was SYNTAX formed my me and friend just for fun. I joined MDE over a year ago, although it was born for fun too. Now, it seems to be more serious related... @1@- What kind of hardware do you use? @3@- Hmmm.. Ordinary A500 with some expansions, like torch in the left side and Coca-Cola output in the right. @1@- Did you have any computer before your Amiga and if yes/which one/s ? @3@- I had Atari 65XE and I really liked it. Some great, simply games mmmm... I miss it! @1@- Try to answer those questions with a single word ... your favourite: Coder:........ @3@Laxity @1@Musican:...... @3@Lizardking @1@Graphican:.... @3@Peachy @1@Demo:......... @3@Extension @1@Diskmag:...... @3@R.A.W. @1@Group:........ @3@hmmm... @1@Game:......... @3@cars @1@Utils:........ @3@CED, Super Duper @1@Contax:....... @3@most of mine @1@Friends:...... @3@many of mine contax, many other too @1@Party:........ @3@Polish Autumn Party... @1@Movies:....... @3@Basic Instynct, Silence Of The Lambs @1@Real Music:... @3@lotsa @1@All?.......... @3@uff... @1@- Pleaze give us our opinion about the amiga scene: @3@- Great, but could be better. Low productivity, poor motivation, stealing ideas, many assholes. However... Great atmosphere, wonderfull friends, ter- rific fun together. @1@- What do you think about Polish scene? Which country has best scene in your opinion? @3@- Our country... It's very special. Great coders with many stunning ideas. However, also many lame assholes. Musicans - several good, ok. Graphicans? 2 or 3. Big need of 'em. Our products are sometimes great, but only sometimes. Even there is sth fabulous released, there are problems with spreading it. BBS are very expensive here, even buing good modem is for me for example im- possible I simply can't afford. When in the past there were great demos re- leased like Deformations/DEFORM, Marchewki/ALCHEMY or others, they are un- known! Very silly isn't it? Last times situation has changed, there are many new swappers and so on, so our stuff is being spreaded better and better. And last but not least about Poland. It's alcohol and parties. There are so many dead-drunk guys at every party you can't imagine. Or puking on the floor. I know, that alcohol makes everything easier and I use it too, but these liters of vodka are unbelievable. Sad but true. I can't say that this or that country has got best scene. All together should be big-worldwide-scene without borders, and this is the best scene in my opinion. @1@- Tell us everything about your group (members, plans, assocation with MYSTIC, etc.) @3@- I explained on the beggining that there is no association between us and MYSTIC now. Look above why. We are 14 members at the moment. Big number of swappers, and that's ok I think. The problem is, that they haven't got too much to do, I mean our productivity. We have got 2 coders at the moment, and both of them will have their life-exams in 6 months time. So, they have to switch off their machines for weeks... The point is, that we're in big need of coders! In a half year time, we'll be probably back, but for this time... If there is any talented and experienced coder who is groupless reading this article, give me a sign!!! You'll find addres in the bottom. After 2 big trackmos(Status Quo and Technological Death (first one is a year old and not worth of watching)), one file demo(invitation to our party) there is nothing more serious from us. Right now, I'm releasing my pack 2fuckTHEglenz from time to time. We have got 3 members abroad, but these are not any sections, only sin- gle spreaders. We would like to invite sysyops with boards as well. I hope we would be able to surprise you with any product in any time... Wish us the best! @1@- What are your hobbies besides computer? @3@- Computer is my hobby that takes me the biggest ammount of hours... I love sport, basketball, football and many more. And as an almost ordinary boy I like drinking, girls, computerparties and others! @1@- Before we end, do you have any last things to say? @3@- Oh yes! I'd like to greet all my contax and other friends from scene. I'd like to inform all my contax, if they haven't got anything from me for long time (long for me), you will get it from me or my other friends. After rea- ching 140 as a number of contacts, I decided enough!!! I spent too much time at this job! I'll quoter it down to about 70, all the rest I'll pass to my friends in group and not only, but all from Poland! So, sorry if I have to say you 'good luck' in this lame way... @1@ Flynn, thanx for this interview friend! Good night to everybody ('coz I'm going to bed right now!) And my addy for interested coders, sysops and others: @3@Kopara/MAd ELKs @1@OPL 1/24 61-628 Poznam Poland
