Introduction: In today's "New Age" (as The Gunslinger/Dane puts it) of Apple
|
|
piracy, there are currently four major groups. I'll be reviewing all of them.
|
|
Note that this won't include the bullshit groups that release 1 ware and fade
|
|
into the sunset. All of the groups here have been around for the past 3-4
|
|
years (excluding USAlliance). By the way, look for my reviews in issue #2 of
|
|
cDc's Cross Of Iron fanzine. And the next PP file coming soon, a fiction
|
|
sci-fi story, "Space Merc Part VI". Oh yeah, one more thing. The order in
|
|
which the groups were reviewed was determined by how good they are.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Group Number One: First Class
|
|
|
|
Not really a group at all, considering that only one member of the group,
|
|
The Necromancer/Ralph still is in modeming. Two of the members, Dark
|
|
Prophet/Matt and The Tailsman/Rob are writing software (like Alien Mind), and
|
|
The Hitman/Greg is also working in the software business. The Necromancer, one
|
|
of the best and most active crackers today, still cracks wares under the First
|
|
Class name. There are 3 locals to him, Mindbender/Bob, The Baron/Greg, and
|
|
Hijinx/Steve, who supply him and help with the cracks, but they aren't official
|
|
FC members. FC is generally accepted as the best group over the past few
|
|
years. The Necromancer is planning to "retire" the FC name soon, so don't
|
|
expect too much from them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Group Number Two: Digital Gang
|
|
|
|
Digital Gang has released more wares than any other group in pirate
|
|
history. Recently, they have been somewhat inactive, and the fact that the
|
|
members of the group (The Triton/Eddie, Tom E. Hawk/Tyron, The Dragon Lord/Ron,
|
|
The Sheik/Chris, Sir Mangar/Mike, and a few others) don't call out much makes
|
|
it hard for anyone to know what the hell is going on with them. DG has a
|
|
notorious reputation for "wars" and just about every member is hated by many
|
|
people. Some of these conflicts include: A massive fight with The Bunnymen,
|
|
arguing with the California Spec pirates (not exactly a popular group of people
|
|
either), and most recently a war with The Legion which ended up with The
|
|
Martyr/Mike, and Touch Tone/Bart threatening each other with guns.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Group Number Three: Coast to Coast
|
|
|
|
Coast to Coast wavers from active to inactive every few months. The
|
|
general routine is for the group's members to drop out of piracy, and then a
|
|
few months later a whole "new" CtC emerges. They then drop out, and the whole
|
|
cycle starts again. The current members (Mr. Slick/Kent, Psycho/Dave, The
|
|
Crasher/Roman, Chief Justice, and Fast Eddie) are about the 4th generation of
|
|
Coast to Coast. And, also the worst. The Crasher, Chief Justice, and Fast
|
|
Eddie do nothing at all. Psycho does the easy cracks, and Slick the hard ones.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Group Number Four: USAlliance
|
|
|
|
The youngest group, and currently the least liked. They started out as a
|
|
local Maryland do-nothing group. After going though 20 members, they ended up
|
|
with Body Glove/Sonny, Blue Adept/Alan, Codex Warrior/Doug, Rotten Apple/Steve,
|
|
and me. We kicked The Crasher out, because he turned out to be a huge liar.
|
|
(Not to mention a putz). The plan was to quit USAlliance, and leave it to
|
|
Rotten Apple and a few other members who didn't do much. Then we planned to
|
|
start a new group. This plan never came to be, because... get this... no one
|
|
could agree on a name for the new group. So we just kicked Rotten Apple out,
|
|
and a war started between him and us, and he threatened to "Eradicate us from
|
|
the modem world" with his "Project: Blue Boot". Soon after, I quit the group,
|
|
when I started to get tired of them and their stupid "Ego Wars". Blue Adept
|
|
then started to get heavily ragged because he claimed to be the original Blue
|
|
Adept who was in Midwest Pirates Guild. It was obvious he was lying, and it
|
|
got worse when he denied ever saying it.
|

|
|
Well, there you go, "The Titans of Piracy."
|
|
|
|
Now that I look at this file, I don't think very much of it, but I'm releasing
|
|
it anyway.
|
|
|
|
Call DRU, TWGSC, and TL.
|
|
Now.
