*THE KNIGHTS OF MYSTERIOUS KEYBOARDS*!
|
||
|
||
THE AWESOMEST HACK GROUP IN TOWN
|
||
|
||
|
||
IS THE AUTHOR OF THE ABOVE MESSAGE A TRUE PIRATE? SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME
|
||
THERE HAS BEEN AN IMPLICIT CODE OF ETIQUETTE GOVERNING THE ACTIONS OF SOFTWARE
|
||
PIRATES, BUT AS MANY OF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED AS OF LATE, THAT CODE HAS BEEN
|
||
KNOCKED AROUND A BIT. ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO DIFFERENTIATE A TRUE
|
||
PIRATE FROM ONE OF THESE POOR IMI TATIONS, I BELIEVE THAT, WITH THE NUM- BER OF
|
||
TRUE PIRATES DECREASING AT SUCH AN ALARMING RATE, THIS CODE SHOULD BE SET
|
||
STRAIGHT. AFTER ALL, ALTHOUGH "JHONNY" IS ADMITTEDLY A MORON, IT'S NOT HIS
|
||
FAULT THAT HE NEVER RECEIVED PROPER GUIDANCE.
|
||
|
||
|
||
ONE OF THE FIRST AND FOREMOST RULES OF PIRACY: REAL PIRATES ARE OVER 15 YEARS
|
||
OLD! EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE ARE EX- TREMELY RARE AT BEST.
|
||
|
||
COROLLARY: YOU NEVER HAVE TO WONDER WHO BREEDED MICKEY MOUSE WITH A 2600 HZ
|
||
TONE TO PRODUCE A REAL PIRATE'S VOICE.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
ALIASES
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES ARE MORE IMAGINATIVE THAN TO USE THE WORD "COPY" IN THEIR ALIAS.
|
||
|
||
COROLLARY: REAL PIRATES AREN'T NAMED "MR. COPY" BECAUSE REAL PIRATES DON'T
|
||
BRAG ABOUT CRACKING DUNG BEETLES.
|
||
|
||
THE WORD "CRACK" (OR "KRACK") IS FOUND NOWHERE IN A REAL PIRATE'S NAME...UN-
|
||
LESS HE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES' ALIASES DON'T SOUND AS IF THEY WERE EXTRACTED FROM THE LYRICS OF
|
||
AN OZZY OZBOURNE SONG (I.E. PROVISIONER OF SATAN, BLACK AVENGER, DARK PHANTOM,
|
||
ETC.).
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T NAME THEMSELVES AF- TER HEAVY METAL GROUPS.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES, IF NAMED AFTER SOME AS- PECT OF PIRATE LEGEND (I.E. JOLLY ROGER,
|
||
CAPTAIN HOOK, EYE PATCH, ETC.) DON'T SAY, "AVAST YE SCURVY DOGS," OR ANYTHING
|
||
OF THE LIKE.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES' NAMES AREN'T PARODIES OF OTHER REPUTABLE PIRATES (I.E. RESIDENT
|
||
OF LAVENDER BAG, MR. PAC MAN, FRANKLIN BANDIT, ETC.).
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T NAME THEMSELVES AF- TER ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES (I.E. JACK
|
||
DANIELS, HARVEY WALLBANGER, JIM BEAM, ETC.) ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'VE NEVER HAD
|
||
ONE.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES SPELL THEIR ALIASES COR- RECTLY (UNLIKE "THE POENIX").
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES AREN'T NAMED SAM HOUSTON, SIR SPANKY, THE GAMEMASTER, LORD FAGEN,
|
||
NIKKI SIX, (INSERT YOUR OWN LOSERS HERE), OR MR. COPY.
|
||
|
||
|
||
WARES
|
||
-----
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES WOULD NEVER THINK OF DE- LETING "SABOTAGE". IT'S TOO MUCH FUN
|
||
IMAGINING THOSE LITTLE MEN ARE ACTUAL- LY SIR KNIGHT.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES PLAY "BILESTOAD".
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES HAVE LONG SINCE DELETED "SNEAKERS", "E.T.", "ALIEN MUNCHIES", "BUG
|
||
BATTLE", "SNACK ATTACK", AND EVERYTHING FROM SSI, AVALON HILL, AND SCOTT ADAMS.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES UPLOAD. THEY REALIZE THAT LEECHING IS THE #2 SIN (BEHIND, OF
|
||
COURSE, BEING 13 YEARS OLD).
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES REALIZE THAT PENGUIN AREN'T REALLY "THE GRAPHICS PEOPLE".
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES FEEL GUILTY WHEN PIRATING BEAGLE BROTHERS. OF COURSE, THAT NEVER
|
||
STOPS THEM.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T BELIEVE THE MORONS WHO SAY THEY HAVE ULTIMA IV AND POLE
|
||
POSITION.
|
||
|
||
COROLLARY: REAL PIRATES REALIZE THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FORMULA I
|
||
RACER AND POLE POSITION.
|
||
|
||
|
||
BOARDS
|
||
------
|
||
REAL PIRATES AREN'T THE FIFTH TO POST THE SAME "I HAVE..." MESSAGE.
|
||
|
||
CORROLARY: REAL PIRATES DON'T POST "I HAVE..." MESSAGES WHEN THEY REALLY DON'T
|
||
HAVE.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T DOWNLOAD PROGRAMS FROM PUBLIC AE'S AND THEN POST "I KNOW
|
||
IT'S OLD, BUT I HAVE...TOO" MESSAGES ON PIRATE BOARDS.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T POST THEIR HIGH SCORES.
|
||
|
||
COROLLARY: REAL PIRATES DON'T KEEP SCORE.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T SAY "K-K00L", "K-AWESOME", "X10DER", "L8R0N", OR ANYTHING OF
|
||
THE SORT.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BE- TWEEN "F" AND "PH" (I.E. "PHILES",
|
||
"PHUCK", "FONE", ETC.).
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T WASTE EVERYONE'S TIME BACKSPACING OVER THEIR ALIAS 50 TIMES.
|
||
|
||
COROLLARY: REAL PIRATES DON'T USE BACKSPACING IN FEEDBACK TO SYSOPS. (SYSOPS
|
||
DON'T READ FEEDBACK AT 300 BAUD)
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES NEVER USE TEXT GRAPHICS IN THEIR MESSAGES.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CURSE BBS'S "K-K00L M0DS".
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T SEARCH FOR NEW WAYS TO SPELL "WARES".
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T USE THE LAST 5 LINES OF THEIR MESSAGES BRAGGING ABOUT THE 8
|
||
MEANINGLESS ORGANIZATIONS THAT THEY BELONG TO.
|
||
|
||
COROLLARY: REAL PIRATES DON'T BELONG TO SWAPP, DOS/NPG, OR NASCOMP.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES WHO ARE GBBS SYSOPS ARE PROUD TO HAVE STOLEN FROM GREG SCHAEFER.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES ARE SATISFIED WITH ONE EXCLAMATION POINT.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES DON'T CALL DIAL-YOUR- MATCH.
|
||
|
||
REAL PIRATES NEVER GET INTO "BITCH WARS" UNLESS, OF COURSE, THEY ARE GRINDING
|
||
SOME 13 YEAR OLD TI USER INTO THE DUST.
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
COROLLARY TO THE COROLLARY: REAL PI- RATES ACCEPT THE REALITY THAT 300 BAUD IS
