Date 91-11-05 ³Victim¹ : ²Circulator / Silents³ Aggressor¹ : ²TFG / Majic 12¹ ³ Your name,group and function ? ¹ - 'ebba ! Ich bin Circulator and I'm besides mail- and modemtrading also doing a little organising. I am a male (no shit !) and I guess I have the same interests as most other 16 years old dudes : partying, computing, girlfriends, taekwondo and so on. ³ How long time have you had your Amiga ? ¹ - I have had my Amiga since the begining of 1988, but I have had several breaks in computing since then. I was also only playing games during the first years ! The first copy-party I ever visited was the Bamiga Sector 1/Warfalcons-party in February '89 ! - the only reason why I went there was that one of my friends just had become a member of Warfalcons. ³ Which other groups have you been in before ? ¹ - Just to mention some of the groups I've been in ... : Arcane, Flash Production (hi crazy dudes !), Rebels, Palace (yo Alf & Drac + the rest !) and now since May '91 Silents (- and I do intend to stay in Silents !) ³ How many contacts do you have ? ¹ - 3#87.11b ... hard to say ?! Approximately around 50 dudes ! (- and that is far to many for me !) I'm probably gonna cut down on my amount of contacts soon in order to get more time to modemtrade and to get more sparetime in general, but let's see ... ³ Why did you join Silents and not another group ? ¹ - Lots of reasons ! (Silents = old legend, nice demos, I already knew Lord Dredd + Gizmo = easy 2 get in ... ) And I'm quite satisfied with that choice. ³ Tell a bit about coming productions from Silents ? ¹ - These are some of the coming releases from Silents : Global Trash II (made together with Crionics), The Power & Glory-trackmo , a new demo by the french section, a dentro which was supposed to be released at the Lowlife '91-party, and a project to be shown at the Anarchy/Quartex/Silents-party this christmas (! TOP SECRET !). ³ Your copy-party was cancelled.Why ? ¹ - Because of economical reasons ( - not very exact, but ... ). ³Will you make a new party this year or later ? ¹ - Silents has joined the staff behind the christmas party in Denmark this year. The party is (if you already didn't know) going to be arranged by Anarchy and Quartex and now also the Silents has been involved as one the organizing groups. It will among other things feature : a bar, lots of space for everyone, big competition prices, the usual amount of high quality demos released at a cool danish party + a lot of other things - for more info get your hands on an invitation or check out the official invitation-demo which was released a week ago. ³ How much money do you spend on modem and swapping etc. every month ? ¹ - It differs quite much (depends on how active I am ...) - about 600 danish kroner ! ( - which I earn back by selling demos and stuff like that !) ³What do you think about the danish modem-scene ? ¹ - To boring to be mentioned ! No, actually there are not that many boards yet, but I think the danish modem-scene will develop fast within the next months ! ³ What's your opinion about the "modems destoys the scene"talk ? ¹ - I think that the scene has got both advantages and disadvantages as the hst modems entered. There are probably many opinions about that ! ³ Why did you continue with mail-swapping when you got your modem ? ¹ - I'm NOT like some maniacs up- and downloading 24 hours a day (actually I'm mostly calling around in the weekends) and therefore I still want to get demos & games by mail - it is still a nice way of getting stuff, I think !) ³What do you think about the "Friendship-movement" ¹ - I have nothing against the "Friendship-movement", but I either don't find the group(s) who found it better than others ! I don't even know if it's still existing ? ... ³ What's your opinion about cracking ? ¹ - I personally have nothing against the cracker groups and I also think that they are a (more - or less) important part of the scene. It would on the other side also be very bad if the major software houses left the Amiga-market completely as a consequence of games being cracked before releasedate and so on so I will leave this question ananswered. ³ What's your opinion about the development in the scene in the past year. ¹Is it worser or better than it was a year ago ? - I don't think I am the right person to ask this question as I haven't been involved in the scene for several years - and therefore I haven't been able to feel/notice the development. Please state your favourite: Groups : Phenomena, Fairlight Demos : Enigma/Phenomena, Cube-o-matic/Spreadpoint Boards : Hard to say ... Mags : Maggy (KEWL articles !), Stolen Data, Zine, Hack-mag Copy-Parties : The Dexion X-mas Conference 1990 Drinks/Booze : Tequila, Bacardi, DANISH Tuborg beers Women : Every good-looking scandinavian blonde ! ³ What do you think about the incredible amount of disk-mags in the scene,and will Silents make a diskmag,too ? ¹ - No, Silents won't release a diskmag. Some diskmags are worth reading - some ain't ! (he, he) I just don't read the one's that I find lame and/ or uninteresting ! ³ Okay,we have reached the end.Now you can say whatever you want to !! ¹ Hellos to all friends, contacts and relatives ! Hope to see EVERYBODY in Aars ! Contact me for trading at : Silents! Laerkevej 7, Nordby Thanks for the interview! 6720 Fanoe, Denmark
