An  interview  with  Array/ex-Scorpio

       Done By Cloud 9/Vicious

He  was  in the scene for 4 years, but
recently he decided to left the scene.
Cloud 9/Vicious made an interview with
him.

Hi Array!  Please introduce yourself..

How    original!    Please   introduce
myself.   Well, for the complete scene
who  doesn't  know  me I am:  Array of
ex-Scorpio,  18 years old, real name :
Patrick,    I'm   attending   a   pre-
university  school  (VWO),  my hobbies
are  Volleyball,  Computing, Saturday-
night-life and sleeping.

Why  the  heck did you left the scene?
Not   enough   friendship?    No  good
productions?   Pissed off by the death
of Scorpio?

Me leaving the scene has nothing to do
with  the scene as a whole.  I flunked
school  once  and I am not planning to
flunk  my  exams  so  I decided it was
better  to concentrate more on school.
I  made  the decision of concentrating
more   on   school  much  earlier  but
because  I was motivated to do my best
for  Scorpio  I had nearly no time for
school.   With  the  death  of Scorpio
motivation  was  gone  to go on in yet
another group so I quited!

Is  it  possible  you'll  ever  make a
come-back  to  the  scene, and if yes,
again as a swapper?

There  is  a  very small chance I will
return  to  a scene and thrust me this
doesn't  have  to  be the Amiga scene.
But  IF  I will return to any scene it
will  be  as  a programmer (of serious
software,  and  maybe some demos in my
spare  time).   But  you probably have
seen  the  last of me (altough I might
write some articles 'cause I like that
and anyway it is as simple as drinking
a beer).

Don't  you  think  you  will  miss the
scene?  Do you think you will miss the
mail?

maybe  the  first time I will miss the
sound  of mail falling on the floor in
the  hall  but  time heals all wounds.
Miss  the  scene?  Some friends I made
in the scene I will miss but the scene
as  a  whole not really except for the
cool  productions  the  scene releases
(although  there  is  even  more  shit
released).

Could  you discribe your scene history
and please a bit detailed?

I  started out as a beginner and tried
to  get  some contacts, soon I got Mad
Shitbrain  of Pussy as a contact and I
asked  him  if  I could join Pussy, he
told  me  that  I could if I wanted to
set  up  the  Dutch  division of Pussy
which  I  didn't  but  then  the Dutch
division  was  set  up  by  some other
dudes  (who  are  now in JetSet) and I
joined them as a swapper.  Well, there
appeared  some  internal  problems  in
Pussy  (look in old diskmags for info)
and  the Dutch division separated from
the  Belgian and we took some belgians
with us in JetSet.  Well, I was kicked
after  some  time  because  I was lazy
(and  I  can't  blame  them).   Then I
joined  The Lords (with the now famous
Ramon B5 (now leader of Desire -C9) as
a  leader) and some time passed and we
died.  I went to Vermin, Vermin died..
I  went  to  La Rocca and they died...
(hey  Riox!)  then Scorpio was brought
alive   by  Sane,  and  I  could  join
(thanks?!).  Well, in Scorpio I felt a
bit  'in  the scene' but guess what...
Scorpio    died!     My   handles   in
chronological  order:   Echo,  Goblin,
Array.

Gee...   That's  detailed...  You have
been  quite  a  long time in the Dutch
scene,  what do you think of the Dutch
scene,    also   compared   to   other
countries?

I   will   only  give  my  opinion  of
nowadays  scene.  In Holland the scene
is  nice  but  nowhere  close to cool.
There  are  some  "Elite"  crews  here
(JetSet,  Mirage and Freestyle), there
are  some  promising  crews  (Vicious,
Zite)  and  there  are some lame crews
(Silicon  Ltd., Centura, Trance).  All
other  groups  not  mentioned  weren't
worth  to be mentioned.  (Desire takes
in  a  special  place, it's more a fun
crew  and  they  manage to keep a good
quality  too  but  they don't have the
flair  of an Elite crew).  Compared to
other countries:  Better than Belgium,
Hungary,  Ireland, Turkey, U.K.  Worse
than   Scandinavia,  Germany,  France,
Switzerland.

Do  you have a question you would like
me to ask you?

Hey!   Who's  the  one  that  asks the
questions here?  You or you?

OK,  it's me, Cloud 9.  You might have
guessed  it  by the previous question,
I'm  out  of inspiration so this means
the  end  of  the  interview.   Oh, of
course   you   can   now   write  some
greetings or messages to your friends.

Sane/ex.Scorpio:  C ya in the 'Stads',
let's   get  drunk  together  when  we
passed our exams!

Quazar/ex.Scorpio:    Don't  make  any
mistakes  by  choosing the wrong group
(not Centura!).  Hope you will help me
with my coding-efforts.

Cone/TRSI:   Met  you  once, you are a
kewl (lame word!) dude.  Hope you stay
in the scene longer than I.

Decca/Supplex:   Hopefully  me quiting
the  scene  doesn't mean that you stop
calling  me  from  the cool hamburger-
meetings you have there.

Mincer/Complex:   Thanks  for  calling
and  sorry  for first whining for your
packages and then quiting.

Ramon   B5/Desire:   The  letters  get
shorter  when  your  contact  list got
bigger, thanks for everything anyway.

Riox/Desire:    Still  alive.   Better
call me one day!

Rod/Polaris:   Guess  the  war  is the
reason my letter never arrive?!

Risk/?:  Bet you know what I mean...

Zorro/Comedy:  Thanks for all the cool
work!
