2 8 abd 09a 46b É Ì RULES FOR SWAPPING Ë ------------------------------------ ÈIf you are going to be a ÉTOP ELITE SUPERÈ swapper there are certain rules you must follow on your way to the top. It is very important that you follow these rules carefully. The 12 magic rules (press 'P' to print them!) Ê 1.È Don't swap for fun! Swap only with people who are in groups which can do something. Even if you know an unknown guy who is cool, kick his ass! He is of no use for you on your way to the top. Remember that your aim is to receive greetings and to climb as high as possible on others greetingslist. Ê 2.È Don't write long letters! You have better thing to do for example looking for more and better contacts The letters should be like this: Hi XXX of XXXX Thanx for stuff Send soon and HOT!! Yours xxxxxxx of xxxxx If you write longer letters, the ÉELITEÈ swappers will think that they have to write long letters back and will quit you. Ê 3.È If you get a production from a contact and you are not greeted. Then, you must either kick him!, or you ÉMUSTÈ say to him, that if he don't greet you next time, he is no more a contact of you. No matter how good he is, if you are not greeted - you are not greeted. That's it! Ê 4.È Always search for a better and more active group to join. You must not be to shy to ask. Ask every group that's better than yours. To reach the top you must leave your friends for fame!! Friendship has nothing to say if you want to reach the top! Ê 5.È If a production is new, you must spread it!. If you get a new dirty intro from a group. Spread the disk! Even if there are read/write errors! The receiver don't care as long as it's new! Quality is a word of no importance in the world of elite swappers. Ê 6.È Set time limits for the coders! Force the GFX-artists and the musicians to be more active. Say to the coder that you need something to spread and that the demo has to be released within 2 weeks. If the coder don't agree, you have to force him by saying : If you don't code a demo within 2 weeks, you will not receive hot stuff from me anymore. If he still doesn't want to code, leave the group!. If he codes a demo within 2 weeks, don't care about the quality!. As long as you can write greetings, it's OK! All the other ÉEliteÈ dudes are also setting time limits for their productions. Actually it's the swappers who is responsible for ALL shit productions in the world. So dont care!, this is the way it should be done.Why should a coder use 4 months for a demo. The greetings are there anyway. Ê 7.È Dont call your contacts!. They don't care about you! They just care about your stuff. So just send the stuff and do nothing more! Ê 8.È Dont spend time on girls,parties and other social activities.You dont have the money or the time to do this, if you want to reach the top!! Ê 9.È If a swapper use more than 4 days to answer your letter, he is lame! Stop swapping with these lazy guys, if you want to maintain your good reputation. Ê10.È When you are writing a greeting- list. Don't only write your own contacts. Write all the ÉEliteÈ groups you know in the greetinglist. If you do this, you will gain a lot of respect from other guys you are swapping with. The amount of people sending their disks to you will increase dramatically. Ê11.È If you receive ÉTDKÈ, ÉBASFÈ, ÉNASHUA Èor other quality disks keep them to yourself and send ÉNONAMESÈ back. If you have disks with read-write errors or without dust-protection don't hesitate at all to send them!! Ê12.È If you receive disks from lamers don't hesitate to steal them !! The lamers will think that your are a very cool dude and will respect you for ever and always. When your are getting better try stealing from the elites too, you will discover that disk-stealing is actually fun! ÿ
