³¼SAD STORY !¼³ ¹ This is a sad story of my scenelife. I got my first Amiga in December '86. It was a lousy A1000, but it was still a real fun machine. Infact I payed about $2300 for it and it was a second- hand machine! I didn't know anything about scene those days. So, time passed and my father promised to buy me an Amiga 2000! I got it in March '90. I started to study some coding. I'd got only a few demos then. I was very interested in coding such a nice programs. I programmed with C, Assembler and AMOS. I was 15 years old boy, so all of my friends considered me mad. I did not manage to code well... Then, I changed my school and moved to an other city. One of my schoolmates was a modemtrader (he is now in PC). I also had one C64-graphician in my class. I got some very nice stuff from the modemguy. So I decided to join some group. In October '91 I joined Grace SF as a coder-practiser and a graphician. My handle was then Mickey. I got kicked from the group one month later, because I haven't coded anything. Then I joined Admirals SF, and changed my handle to Dino. I got some very nice friends these days. BUT, I had a problem! I've been in scene for 3 month and I haven't released anything! My gfx was quite nice then. I sended a lot of gfx to our HQ (Hello, Holyone!). The Admirals split up and nothing was released from me. All of my hard work was useless. I changed my handle to Xendi. Then I joined Exile SF. They released a packmenu without my great graphics, because they had it ready when I joined them. Time passed and nothing was released, so I joined Zenith SF (Hi, Barrier!). We decided to join to [L]egend with Barrier. He was not sure that he can get in it. I was sure that I can get into [L]egend. Because we hadn't any coder then, I decided to stay independent. I hadn't released anything! I was miserable. Assembly '92 was a great party. I got a lot of friends from there. I joined Deadline SF there.(MEGAGREETS to VISAGE and NUTCASE!!!!) Deadline SF released an intro just after I joined it. So, none of my logos were released! And it DOESN'T follow from their bad quality. Our coder went to army just after releasing that nice intro. I've been in scene for over 9 months and NONE of my graphics were released. Every team I've been in (except Grace) have considered my Gfx GREAT! You can contact me for being sure t hat I'm a good graphician. And I am not at all trying to boast: "I am the best, fuck the rest!" I am only miserable because of this shitty situation. If you have anything to ask or have same kind of situation, CONTACT ME! My address should be somewhere at the ad-section. What can I do? If you are a productive elite group without a graphician, ASK ME! ³ SIGNED: XENDI / DEADLINE SF
