This is still no walk in the park as far as flight simulators go. Just trying to get the plane in the air and level can bring you to tears. It pays to go to the library and get a book on these old warbirds, to learn their individual idiosyncrasie
s. If you're looking for a realistic World War II flight sim though, look no further than Fighter Duel.
---=[ 4. Interview - Anonymous - Rebuttle ]------------------------------------
INQ : Why do you feel RTS broke up?
Incognito : I felt RTS broke up due to the lack of commitment in the whole Team. Certain areas were more commited than others, but if Seniors don't show much commitment than it doesn't exactly set a good example for the rest of the team, hence
this started in my own opinion the breakup of RTS
INQ : Do you think Dorian tried to break RTS up?
Incognito : No, I did not feel Dorian tried to break up RTS, as a courier of RTS, I got the impression he was the one trying to rebuild RTS, afterall he was taking the reigns of RTS, while Ordnance was away for quite a while. And, for a person
to do that requires great strength. If I hadn't been for Dorian putting time and effort into RTS, RTS would have fell apart even earlier.
INQ : So he was not getting help from the other council members?
Incognito : The only council member I felt that was trying to help Dorian co-ordinate on the Net side was Aslan, but it took me 4 weeks as a courier getting in; like Aslan approved of me, but another council member needed approval from Dorian e
ven though Aslan told me Dorian approved of me. So from the outset it looked like council had problems anyways.
INQ : Why do you think Dorian decided to quit and reform MAliCE?
Incognito : I believed Dorian quit, because he was getting no support from anyone at all. The fact that Ordnance as a Senior was not around certainly did not help him. In terms of motivation, however I believed the final straw was when Ordnan
ce returned and decided to implement policies without consultation with Dorian at all. After that, I think Dorian had enough, he gave his time and effort to RTS, and got Zippo back, as a courier. I believed he was the main driving force for RTS.
INQ : How successful do you think RTS will be now?
Incognito : RTS, I think they can make a come back but I don't think they can be as strong as what they were in their haydays. But, if the same beaucratic bullshit appears in RTS, then I believe there is no hope as a competitive couriering for
ce. Well the answer to that is to look around on the boards and the major sites. MAliCE in my opinion has done alot more in 6 weeks than RTS has done in 4 months. I am a courier in MAliCE and I think the spirit in MAliCE is more relaxed; the Council an
d the President always talk. And, things actually get done. For example, the MAliCE NFO is updated weekly if not daily. I feel as a group, MAliCE, is more co-ordinated.
INQ : Allegedly Dorian was trying to reform MAliCE back in the summer, any truth to this?
Incognito : Yes that was true. Dorian was trying to reform MAliCE back then because, although I dont know for sure, RTS was beginning to have internal problems from there. Like council members bickering and things getting disorganized.
INQ : So was Dorian trying to break up RTS so he could reform Malice?
Incognito : No, I dont think that was in his heart, I think he was trying to reform Malice by himself and probably other members of RTS, who were getting pissed at the disorganization, but that was what I was told, by someone higher up.

"Rebuttle - Busts"
Okee dokee, the first thing to point out, in your interview with W00per, he attempted to explain some stuff on a bond issue and what happened with that.
Any time a company files a civil suit and wants to seize equipment, they are required by law to file a bond of 1.5 times the estimated value of the equipment seized. In order to cover potential damages that happen durring the seized period of time unt
il the case is ended or settled.
They had to file a $150,000 bond when they got the search and seizure order for my board.
As for your things to "help" out in case someone gets busted.
You said, "Move all pirated material into your server. They legally cannot keep any equipment that does not contain pirated material."
To be perfectly concise, that's complete bullshit. If it were a criminal case that was going on, then there is a lot of truth to that, and many other things that make it difficult on behalf of the people who seized things and much nicer for those who
were busted. For a civil case, which is ALL that is being filed lately, there is no such case law, and no precedents that apply at all, it's entirely new ground, and they can seize basically whatever the hell they want to as long as it's vaguely connecte
d in some way. Plugged in counts, network counts more.
My system was ran in a manner that would go along with what you're trying to tell people to do. It was a novell system where everything was on the server. The board was run by 9 diskless workstations with USR modems, and 2 USR CommServers (also diskle
ss). All of it was seized because the civil case was filed along the grounds of "contributing to" copyright infringement. That means that I (or others as cases are filed) were "providing the means" that allowed people to infringe on their copyrights. T
hat helps give them the ability to seize anything and everything that assists in providing those means. Which is the entire network, the modems, the diskless stations, etc. Even UPSs and surge bars.
Also, you tell people to research copyright laws in their own states. This has no bearing on anything at all. The cases that are filed are filed in federal court, citing federal copyright statutes. These take all precedence over any state or local l
aws, so knowing what your state says won't make a bit of difference.
Anyway, just wanted to point those things out. They way it's all going is that MS/Novell and others aren't intelligently pursuing pirates at all. They really don't have the foggiest fucking clue on how the system works or who does what. They attack b
oards based on someone calling in to their piracy hotlines and supplying a login account, and they begin research from there.
Someone had supplied them a login to my system and that's where it started. I researched as best I could all the cases ever filed by them previous to my bust, and found the same procedures were followed. It's not an "intelligent" thing on their part,
but a lucky one. Just takes advantage of how upset someone is with anyone's BBS and what kinda access they have.

"Net Ethics"
Hello, this is Darwin, your friendly neighborhood net courier, coming to you live and direct. I've been noticing a lot of bullshit in the net scene lately, and I'd like to toss out some ideas and address some issues that I think need adressing. The n
et scene is the future; people and standards have to be maintained. The best boards are what the best FTP sites will have to become; a place where the best and most capable hang with intense competition. Notice I don't say friendly competition, because i
t isn't always. I'd like it to be, but people have egos. So, the same bullshit happens over and over again. Whatever, just let your reputation and your uploads stand as an indication of your skills. There's no need to talk trash, and the worst thing i
n the world is when someone proves your trash talking wrong.
I have to say my peace about the way that things are released and traded on the net today. If you were a BBS trader, would you upload disks 1, 2, 10-16 and 25 to a board? Of course you wouldn't. So, why the hell do people do it on sites? I don't th
ink that the competition is to get individual disks up, people; it's to up a *complete*, *tradable* release. Look at Screamer, look at Lemmings Chronicals, I Have No Mouth, et cetara. I try to make a point not to up a release until I have *all* of the di
sks. People start upping the 4 out of twenty disks they have, and those 4 disks get spread everywhere. Do you know how much time I've wasted checking sites every few hours for more disks? What is happening here? How are the releases getting spread from
the release groups?
The way I would envision releases to the net is basically the way that releases to BBS's work now. The release gets upped to the release group's WHQ FTP site. The group's net traders grab the release and send it to the sites they're on once it is com
plete there. After all, is there competition between two traders in the same group? There shouldn't be. The objective is to get the full release traded as quickly as possible. From experience, I know that this isn't happening, and it looks bad for *ev
eryone who ups an incomplete*. I mean, who wants to see five different upload names for one release? That's just silly. How do you divide the creds, how do you make a name for yourself? I think it's a mess. This brings me to my next point : credits for
uploads.
Many sites now-a-days have Top-Up lists or logfiles of who uploads and downloads. Now, I don't have any problem at all with these, but they don't help you see who has been uploading that day or week. My personal solution to this is to let people see
who won on a given release on a given site by putting the name of the courier on the end of the directory. I mean, seriously, people, what the hell is the problem with it? It's really hard to ignore that a trader has gotten every release on a given day
or whatever other feat of trading that occurs if the name is all over that days' listing. In this way, a trader can make a name for himself on a given site or in a group of sites. It's not like there are a specific group of sites, like the top ten board
s or whatever. A person makes himself the best on whatever site they choose, and they should be able to have their name known.
After all, what is this scene about if it's not competition? Is it about how useful the files are? How many traders used Netscape Plus Pack or played The Hive? Not too many, especially those who dial-in to a shell account. Who wants to download 30
disks at 28.8k? Not most people, especially if the game may very well suck? Most of all, we must be try to have *fun*. That's why we do this, people, because it's amusing and it passes the time in a way we like. If it's not fun, we should hang it up.
I personally don't enjoy rag wars, group fights, incompletes, dupes, trash talking, et cetera. I don't have fun when this shit is going on, and I want
to stop it. If someone has a problem with me, then talk to me about it. I'm a reasonable guy, if you're reasonable to me. I think that this is true of most of the people who have been with this scene as long as I have, and I think it's a damn shame tha
t people can ruin a fun thing for some cruel selfish kicks.
Anyway, peace out, this has been dWi/darwin for Inquisition Mag.

The following exchange is the result of e-mail exchange between one CHRIS CARTER @iia2.org (supposedly either the offices of SPA or an account used by SPA) and the sysadmin of a local provider in an eastern state. Not only is Mr. Carter not happy that
the SysAdmin will NOT violate the privacy laws, he resorts to threats and intimidation in an attempt to coerce the SysAdmin into becoming a co-conspirator in his dirty work. According to Mr. Carter, the OTHER 200 administrators were more co-operative.
Please consider, if your SysAdmin is one of the 200 which Mr. Carter claims are co-operative, your every word and thought may be open to Mr. Carter's prying eye.
Before this crackpot's tactics succeed in violating the private mail and business of each and every person who has ever used a computer or ever been on the internet in any manner, perhaps the internet community would do well to e-mail Mr. Carter and le
t him know your views. It should be sufficient to simply return this mail to Mr. Carter with the following thought to Mr. Carter at:
carter@iia2.org
Since Mr. Carter will no doubt quickly change his e-mail address, a copy should also be sent to:
root@iia2.org
Let your voice be heard before Mr. Carter determines he has the right to read your e-mail also.
Should you really feel incensed about this episode which really does amount to a private employee of the SPA trying FORCE someone else into the illegal act of violating every privacy law we hold dear, you might also e-mail a copy to your own state and
federal elected officials. Only if we make it known to elected officials how we, the American public, view the creeping intrusion into our privacy, will we be able to make a contribution to a future free of this type of intrusion.
To: Mr. Carter:
Re: Your violation of privacy laws
Mr. Carter, while your personal views regarding software piracy may be deemed by some to have merit, the citizens of the United States of America are not willing to dump our Constitution and Bill of Rights on the trash heap of history for the benefit o
f the SPA or ANY software developer. To the contrary we feel your gestapo tactics are far more sinister and if you persist, the American public (to say nothing of those in the local, state and federal government who are sworn to uphold the law) may deem
that YOU Sir are a real threat to our way of life and decide that in order to send our message loud and clear, we will no longer support ANY software company who is found to support your methods of invasion of privacy.
Personal Note From This Writer:
Mr. Carter, I was influential in the purchase of at least $500,000 worth of software for my company in the past year alone. Each and every product used by my company is properly licensed and I also purchase each and every product which I use on my per
sonal computer. However, like many others, I do indeed download and review many "pirated" copies. Not because I wish to bankrupt the developers by not paying for the product, but because I do not wish to have my company bankrupted by hugh investments in
to products that do not work as intended. Tomorrow I will be spending my company's money to travel to Comdex to view the offerings of your employers. However, I do think that I shall be VERY reluctant to purchase any more product than is ABSOLUTELY esse
ntial. We can do very well with what we have already bought and paid for. Until the developers decide they have better things to do with their money than promote your illegal acts, I will continue to refrain from supporting them.
The initial e-mail from Mr. Carter, together with the sysadmins response was as follows with all names and e-mail addresses substituted with xxxxx's to protect the parties. Naturally, Mr. Carter's address has been left intact since he is no doubt PROU
D of his efforts.

Well Mr. Carter, perhaps your technical understanding of

I think it is wonderful that you are tired of illegal activity. I do not
believe IRC logs to be evidence, since they can be altered easily. Did you
DCC a copy of this software from him to verify that it was illegitimate?
If you did then you are just as guilty as he is, if you didn't then you
don't know that it was a real copy. How do I know that you are not
just unhappy with a user here and have not forged the logs?

I do not have a lack of attention in any matter concerning illegal activity,
but I simply do not jump through hoops because some irrate IRC user e-mails
me. If I was to look through ANY user's files on our system, that would be
illegal. We here at OPENIX are strongly against software piracy, but we

The next time I download pirated software from "xxx" who
frequents the IRC warez channels, I will personally contact the (Name of City),
(Name of State) police authorities. They will handle the problem. I am
getting very tiresome of the amount of copyrighted software that is being
exchanged online IRC.
It is very interesting to note your lack of action in this
matter. I've talked with over 200 administrators in the past few months,
all of which have taken a strong standing against software piracy.
It is also interesting to note that your business does not have a
user contract which permits you to do standard administrative
investigations against illegal activity. If a court order is what you
need, then I will contact the (Name of State) police and have them contact you.

Devast : Oyl is here, what do you want me to ask her?
MikeySoft : Umm... Stuff.
Devast : Like?
MikeySoft : Oh... Whatever tunes you fork.
MikeySoft : Fill in the blanks
Oyl Patch : Evening.
MikeySoft : Ah
Devast : Fill in the blanks. :)
Oyl Patch : Mikey, you mean MOI?
Oyl Patch : Well, basically, not much to fill in. Mikey got busted as we all know. For personal sufficient reasons, Mikey did not think it was essential that he broadcast it.
Devast : Uh-uh.
MikeySoft : And it had nothing to do with Scene stuff.
Oyl Patch : Anyway, Mikey and I had had a LONG discussion about the events. Mikey knows that I was concerned about certain security issues, and thought it was absolutely essential that a few people knew of the bust. Naturally, Mikey did not rea
lly want to let it all hang out, and based on his attorney's advice, he tried to keep it quieter. Whole truth and nothing but the truth is that the bust was a bit earlier than Mikey had said.
MikeySoft : Yup
Oyl Patch : No real biggy and many have said, they would not want it broadcast either. And he was also following his attorney's advice.
MikeySoft : Yup!
Devast : OK.
MikeySoft : That's true too!
Oyl Patch : Mikey and I have been friends for MANY MANY years, and because we have been so close, there was no way he could hide it from me.
MikeySoft : This is also true.
Oyl Patch : So turns out, it was me, who has been as close to him as any, was the one who actually blew the HORN, not a wee whistle but a DAMNED BULL HORN! Not a first, but again because of my concerns for security. I did let a couple of senio
rs know the facts.
MikeySoft : This is also true.
Oyl Patch : Finally, I just told Mikey, cut the bull shit, lets get rid of the issue, admit it was a bit earlier than alledged and forget it.
MikeySoft : I'm asking everyone to please understand that the few days that we are talking about, I never ever compromised anyone.
Basically this is the final epidsode. We meant to put this out much earlier since it is old news. Anyhow - good luck to Mikey and his pursuits in the future.

Well boys and girls, I don't know whether I should be pleased or sorry to say that there have only been about 60 subscriptions to the E-Mail service. For me, that is plenty to keep the service up. And 60 may seem like a lot of people, but compared to
the total amount of readers of this mag, it ain't much. Then again, if there are only 60 readers of the mag (which I don't THINK is true), then we must be really doing a sorry ass job.
The subscriptions that we did get, however, were very pleasing. Seems like the INQ is really making it all the way around the world. There are subscriptions from Canada, Italy, numerous spots in the US, Finland, Russia, Japan, and a few other countri
es. I'd say that's far from bad.
Once again, if you wish to get a subscription to INQuisition magazine by E-mail, either MSG me on iRC (Lurch) or e-mail me at lurch1@nile.intac.com and tell me your E-mail address and whether you want the mag
in Plaintext or UUencoded. Subscriptions for friends are also welcome but please no BillG@msn.com :)
NOTE! I collected all the URLs that people sent me in a file. Unfortunately, due to Mr. Gates that file was lost. (The HD got full, and apparently something in Win95 did something it wasn't supposed to. So the file is gone). Please re-mai
l me with the URLs you want added to the InterNET page list, and they'll be added in the next issue. There was also an error correction, I do not know if there will be enough time to fix it in this issue, since I don't remember which URL was the one
that was claimed not to work. Sorry 'bout that.

Tsunami : I mean, isn't that insured? INQ has no real competition and I thought that I could either join INQ, and get them the coding they need, or start a new e-mag that would run well. And, I really didn't like it when JJ (Jimmy Jamez) thr

Tsunami : Well, let him try. None of the guys doing this are in the scene much. :) But of course, any INQ guys who'd like to join are welcomed. That is, once we get the first issue out, so people can read it.

Tsunami : Of course! :) Why not? If they want to join, go ahead. I don't care; I'm not like JJ. First, I'm an American. :) Thank God! :) Second, I don't give a damn. I just want to do and see what happens. If it's fun, I'll keep doing i

Raptor : Cool! Then, you prolly won't get any interviews from PWA, DOD, RZR and other groups by taking guys from the Mag that Lester and I started.
Tsunami : Really? Okee :) Raptor, it doesn't matter does it? I was talking more about YOU and LESTER. Not the guys from INQ. Do you know what I mean?
Raptor : Not to be an asshole, but when you openly admit that you are going to steal guys from INQ - then you basically start a little battle - I am sure Marlenus is logging this and I can pass it to everyone to enjoy the ethics of the new ma
g. :)
Tsunami : Go ahead :) I said, I don't care if they apply, and I was implying THEY = Raptor and Lester. Raptor, are you afraid of competition? If not, then you should be happy.
Raptor : Tsunami: Good luck with your new mag - BTW - Why would Lester and myself leave a mag we created. No, I am not afraid of competition, but when they say they are going to take guys from my group - I tend to be a little hostile.
Tsunami : There's a new e-mag that might do just as well as INQ if not better.
Raptor : Marlenus: You running a log?
Marlenus : Always logging automatically, you need not ask :')
Mercy : Rap: I got one going :)
Tsunami : Good, then at least we're clear that you are not afraid of competition. :) Then all should be well, and all should be fun :)
Raptor : Well - someone send me a log of what's taking place in here, so that we can publish how our competition likes to do business - I'll have fun watching JJ going AWOL on you guys.
DruidKin : Hmm.. Methinks Tsunami that you need to think about what you say a little more.
Marlenus : Ask me when you are done fighting for the log :')
Magellan : Tsunami, I think you best do yer yapping after you atleast have a few issues under yer belt. :)
Tsunami : I know. That's why I've stopped talking. :) At least
Raptor and I have it clear that he's not afraid of competition and that this is all in good fun :)
Raptor : True
Magellan : Yea, well you stopped a little late me thinks man. :)
Raptor : You guys might have a pretty mag, but we cover the nitty-gritty shit.
DruidKin : I got a copy of some other mag and all the guy did was say shit and fuck everyother word.
Well, I first like to wish Tsunami good like with Reality Check. This log was conducted on in the middle of last week. Interesting how confident a person is before their product is produced. As for Jimmy Jamez, well he's his own thing and we do not
condone his deeds at time, but we support him along with the rest of our staff.

Another issue is produced to the masses. Ah... We'll be on time next week if Jimmy decides to get his review done earlier.
