   This is a quick text file to explain what recently happen within SCuM 
and the merger of Ransom. Or more to the point, the introduction of Kracken
to the SCuM leadership council.
   First, let me say, that as SCuM's founder and leader, that I was 
responsible for kracken's joining with SCuM. But was in-active and not 
around to personally witness the events that followed.
   From what I've been told, his introduction into our world did not go 
well and he has made quite a few enemys within my cirle of friends, but 
lets not dwell on that as it is not the intention of this text file.
   The real purpose of this text file is to announce the seperation of 
SCuM from Kracken so all will know that he doesn't speak for this group 
and any releases from him as SCuM will be false...
   As you will see in the CHAT log below, he has announced that he will 
be taking from SCuM many boards that currently fly the SCuM Banner as 
well as all the orginal Ransom members that joined with him. To these 
boards and members I extend an open invitation to stay with SCuM. This was 
purely a 'kracken' issue not a 'Ransom' issue. We simply could not get 
along with his attitude and method of doing things..
   I personally have no hard feelings with kracken but most of the senior 
membership of SCuM can not say the same. So anyways here's the chat 
capture so you can read for yourself what he plans to do from here.
		
					Later Dudes.. 
						Long Live SCuM!
