Document:
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this document is to serve as a constitution of the
|
|
group, and to lay forth it's policies and goals. The policies within
|
|
have been reviewed and agreed upon by the Board of Directors, OP, JF, AK.
|
|
They are subject to change without consultation on the part of the general
|
|
membership. We are your holy rulerz. We make the big decisions. After all,
|
|
we wouldn't start a group if we weren't in for some power trip, now would we?
|
|
|
|
Association Motto/Slogan:
|
|
|
|
"We don't crack software, we crack kitchen counters"
|
|
|
|
Goals:
|
|
|
|
The goal of the Anti Warez Association is to produce literature
|
|
informing the general computer public of the horror, pain, and suffering of
|
|
the individuals trapped in the warez world. We struggle to bring warez
|
|
d00dez into therapy and treatment, and we support those who have recovered.
|
|
We attack those who refuse help. We aim to please.
|
|
|
|
Philosophy:
|
|
|
|
There is life beyond warez. We have been there and back, we have
|
|
seen the horrific damage it can cause. We have seen the pathetic souls
|
|
who have fallen prey to multinode warez boards, we have witnessed the
|
|
devastating effects of 3 gigs of online storage. We have see those scarred
|
|
for life by local caller ratios. Nobody is beyond recovery, except the
|
|
almighty leader of the evil warez world, Timebomb of 617. The black hole
|
|
of waredom called TGW is an evil empire created upon greed, hoarding, and
|
|
high speed HST. We will win, we will conquer.
|
|
|
|
Membership Solicitation:
|
|
|
|
Anyone, except the evil one himself, may join. In order to join,
|
|
you must contact Jason Farnon, Alexander Knox, or Ozone Pilot for full
|
|
information. The best way to join is to call the Archiving and Propaganda
|
|
Department itself. It's called ThoughtCrime and it's number will be given
|
|
a bit later. You will be required to read the latest AWA releases and be
|
|
familiar with what we produce. You will be required to submit an essay that
|
|
will be reviewed by the Board of Directors. There is no particular
|
|
subject to deal with, but any type of parallel or symbolism of the tragic
|
|
warez world is strongly suggested. It may be fiction or non-fiction.
|
|
Whatever, we don't care. You may submit as many as you like. You will be
|
|
contacted by one of the Directors as to your standing with the group, once
|
|
your essay has been reviewed.
|
|
|
|
Submissions:
|
|
|
|
We request that all members in good standing submit at least one
|
|
work per month. Submissions will be grouped together and released as
|
|
the Directors deem necessary. There is no set schedule for releases. You
|
|
may upload your submission to ThoughtCrime, or it may be sent to one
|
|
of the Directors on another board.
|
|
We do not dictate what you put in your essay. If the essay is not
|
|
funny or creative, it will not be published. In other words, it has to meet
|
|
certain criteria to be published. If you are a Good Guy, you will have no
|
|
problem understanding the criteria. If you are one of The Evil One's
|
|
disciples, it may be difficult. It's up to you.
|
|
|
|
Rules of Conduct:
|
|
|
|
1) Scorn the warez world
|
|
2) Torment Timebomb and his cronies
|
|
3) End of rules
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note from the Directors -
|
|
|
|
Ozone Pilot: "I am an artist. I create art. I create art that destroys
|
|
what the warez d00dz hold dear. Through the printed word, we will triumph
|
|
over Timebomb and the Critical Condition multinode empire. We will rule,
|
|
it is just a matter of time. Pass the butter."
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alexander Knox: "Greets go out to RZR, FLT, USA, THG, TDT, and of course
|
|
TGW. Where would I be without you today? In three years you will realize
|
|
everything you did today was stupid, remember that. "This lobster was alive
|
|
when it hit the frothy, boiling water. The horror. The horror." Pass the
|
|
peas please."
|
|
|
|
Jason Farnon: "To say that I am against pirating software would be
|
|
hypocritical. I am against the Warez society, the couriers, and those
|
|
ansis really fucking piss me off. Yeh, and I use what I download, not
|
|
donload for the sake of downloading. To sum it all up, 'Warez Suck.
|
|
Huh-huh. Huh-huh.' Where's the 4C?"
|
|
|
|
|
|
