³C²BNEWCOMERS: THE ANSWER³A²A by ³D²CKrom/Delight³A²A I wrote this article as an answer to ²EGrendel/Byterapers²A article in the tenth issue of the fantastic MAGGY (and because i had promised articles to Mic Dair) You seem to think that newcomers are lamers (even worse for 12-15 years old ones). So I can tell you that ²FI AM A LAMER²A !! and proud of it ! isn't my fault if I only was born on 23/06/1976 (so now you know the date on which you have to send presents, guys) I'm still in the 12-15 phase. But what to do ! maybe I should wait a few years, till I'm older, so that I can say I've had my computer for many years and make bad articles of newcomers. How old were you when you got into the 64 scene ?, not much I presume (or you would now be very old). I agree that you you were a "²Fbig , fast swapper²A", now try to be a bit less arregant, and try to respect a bit more the ones you think should respect you. Are we a disease !, I don't think so. Of course there are some lamers like the SONIC guy (and me) but i'm sure there were many of them in the "good old days" too, am I wrong ? The question "Where are your demos ?" is for sure some kind of lame, but i'm sure lots of lamers think the same way (not me for this one). If they haven't ever seen any productions from you (and even if they see an old one, they won't find anything special of it), and if you stay unproductive, what do you want them think of you. About the fact that Hoffi didn't get free entrance, I completely agree with the Sonic guys who didn't let him in (except if they did so for other Persons) Who the hell is he to think he could got free entrance just because he wanted to ?, He's been in the scene for longer than me ? yes, and what ? He just had the luck to get his computer before i did, that's just a question of money. He has donr more than I will evr do. Maybe I could have done this if I had got my computer earlier. Id like to say that too, in my point of view, nobody should get free entrance to a party just because of his name, except the president (not the french one, but maybe others deserve that). This article is not especially destinated to ²EGrendel²A (even less to Hoffi), but to all the old scene guys who claim laudly that today's scene is lame and that it was a lot better few years ago. We newcomers don't have any choise, and have to take it the way it is. I personally think that it isn't that bad (maybe that's because I haven't seen any other). Now back to ²EGrendel²A, you are the only one who deserves to be leader of ²EByte- rapers²A, you worked hard for it, but do you think that your group has to sink when you become lazy and then rise again, just like now (I loved the super cow megademo), just because you like it ?, wouldn't you like your group being always at the top ?. Seems that I don't have anything more to say, so now I'll go fishing. What to do !. ³D²CKrom/Delight³A²A ps. If you feel this article as an offence, it was not meant to be one. Maybe you could answer by writing an article to Maggy, or even write to me (my address should be somewhere around this mag) so that you can insult me more directly).
