               ---=====( Introduction to Revelation )=====---

	Okay welcome to the new Revelation 2. Yes, name is 100% biased.
	I'm going to make the mag as unbiased as possible tho. I'm tired
	of CWS' inaccuracy. And Netmonkey's irregular schedule. We need
	people to collect weektops and do ASCii/ANSi. So please get in
	touch with me. News/articles/interviews are also welcome too.
	No e-mail yet, so use my group's one: revelationz@usa.net.
	Anyways, hope you like it. Send in suggestions. - DIAM0ND

                       ---=====( Scene News )=====---

		<*> dualstandard is *not* trading for fATE, he is now
		actively trading for RiSC. Go dual mon!

		<*> Race this week on XNS. Beat KBM and win 2Gb of credit.

		<*> Titty Twister is back up and affiled with PFT.

		<*> New site IC is online, best in the US in my opinion.
		It has lots of 'Euro Only' traders working it. Affils are:
		RAZOR USHQ - SiEGE WCHQ - TRPS WCHQ. RVL would like this!

                <*> WOC is not gone. It is getting upgraded to a T3 line
		The site OPs said a week, but they don't know anything ;P
		It takes about 3-4 weeks to get a T3 fully installed. It
		will be coming back with some very nice affils, KAC and
		Revelation are a few. Also should be in the 25Gb range.

                <*> Time for a cheap plug. Revelation has been doing very
		well for being the new guys. We are weektop and grouptop
		on a lot of good sites. I'd like to get some competitions
		on sites for us. Win affils from other groups. Yah yah,
		I'm ruthless. ;)

                      ---=====( Site Weektop )=====---

	Thanks go out to BioHazard for all his help on this, wouldn't be
	here without him. Also the support of my friends in REVELATiON.

		THE TRUTH ABOUT DV (Diamond Valley) - DIAM0ND

	Okay, before the site was nothing and I didn't care when they
	lied to me about its speed, etc. But now that they seem to
	think its the best site going in the US and throwing couriers
	at it right and left I'm gonna let people know what's going on.

	First off, DV is *not* fracational OC3 as they say. There are a
	lot of points to back this up. First off, it's on the BBN Planet
	backbone and they do not sell OC3s. Only T3 or less. Second fact
	is that the site's company webpage even says T1 from BBN Planet.
	And the third fact is the traceroute to prove its on BBN and
	*only* BBN. Final fact is weektop, these are not the average Kb/s
	speeds of an OC3 site. Okay, cut'n'paste time...

	Qoute from BBN Planet's page:
	Hmm, BBN doesn't seem to sell OC3s, wonder how DV got one.

	Internet Advantage offers businesses connectivity at speeds ranging
	from 56Kbps through T3 (45 Mbps) domestically and 64 Kbps through E1
	internationally.

	Company's webpage states that:
	Even the company webpage admits their real connection.

	Our server is a Pentium 200-MMX with 64mb RAM running RedHat Linux
	and connected to the internet via a T1 to BBN.

	Traceroute from BBN connected server:
	Thru BBN Planet, they do have a BBN line.

	As you can plainly see from those, it is not OC3, but infact a
	T1. Now for some notes on those bits. For the two webpage ones
	you can check the URL itself. Now I if you goto www.para-net.com
	instead of the one listed you may find a thing saying they have
	two T1s. Kind of funny even the guy that owns the company doens't
	know what he has. Either that or he is lying. Would not be the
	first time an ISP has lied about bandwidth. About the traceroutes.
	I only did BBN plus the other 3 major backbones. I didn't want to
	have 400 backbones' traceroutes in here. Because of this, they may
	in fact have an additional T1 from a smaller ISP, but I gravely
	doubt it. Welp, there you have it. The real deal on DV. It is in
	fact only a T1. But thanks to thier lies and advertising compaign
	they have WPN-RTS-DSi affils. And a ton of couriers trading to it.
	Which kinda scares me. They are going around asking damn near any-
	one and anygroup if they want on. I would be afraid about getting
	a user with less than good intent on my site. Oh well...

	RVL2: You are the most hardcore member in the scene, everyone
	in DMS, DEV, RVL, etc looks upto you. Does all this attention
	get to you?

	TT: not really diamond i just like to stay focused

	RVL2: You have more shells than anyone else I know. 3 liu.se,
	4 kth.se, a hut.fi and a lu.se. And all you use them for is

	the one that got me started on the warez scene...and I gotta
	show her my props...plus if clinton can lay her so can I

	RVL2: Most people call you TooShort instead of your real name.
	It must because of your pimpness factor. Do you think your
	mack skills have any practical use in the scene?

	preteding to be men...and when I put my moves on 'em...they
	just can't say no

                      ---=====( Group Report )=====---

		GROUP NAME: AMBiTiON
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #5

	Loss of Acidapple and Fain is showing thru. A lot less from
	them than usual. Hopefully they can get pyx/half/etc rockin
	hard for em. Right now they are at the crossroads from being
	a awesome to group just being average posse.

		GROUP NAME: DEVOTiON
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #4

	Garoto the one man couriering team. He is about the best trader
	out there. Always a constitent top 3 from him each week. Jaydee
	and Sneeze are also pumping sizable pre's for them. With the
	addition of Acidapple as well they are sure to be a great crew.

		GROUP NAME: DiMENSiON
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #1

	I have never seen so many pres from one group or one man. mgd is
	like the biggest pre'r I have ever seen. Sorta like Grad v2.0.
	A few other pre'rs here too: STiX/SJ/Lester/etc. As usual DMS is
	owning everyone on more sites than I can list here. I have heard
	from a few traders that are unhappy. We may see some ship jumping.

		GROUP NAME: EQUALiTY
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #3

	Screw pFTP. I want Snap for my script. What sites did he weektop?
	All of them, I think. He is like the Garoto for EQL. xRex has been
	laying down some weektops as well. If they can get a few more guys
	going they are sure to make it to the #2 grouptop spot.

		GROUP NAME: MiLLeNiUM
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #2

	Yet another Garoto has emerged. This time it is for MNM. Roller had
	another extreme week of trading. sacX was meant to make his comeback
	this week. I must have been sleep, because I missed it. They signed
	En4 on contract. He is no longer a freeagent. Psyber also popped up.
	Not the same tho without his pFTP voodoo powers.

		GROUP NAME: NGT
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #10

	A lot better than the stuggling ATMX. Still need some action coming
	from thier camp tho. Besides dee, Baseclw seems to be there only
	active courier. I haven't seen the NFO, but I assume there are more
	than two people on it. We'll see what happens here...

		GROUP NAME: REVELATiON
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #9

	My group, so this may be 100% biased. Well contary to popular belief
	we are out in force. Weektopping a lot of sites. No one man teams here
	tho. Everyone I doing a little bit. And I am proud. We are currently
	without shells. And a few slackers plague our success. If I can take
	care of this I see us getting into top 5. If not we will remain in the
	spot we are now.

		GROUP NAME: RiSC
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #X

	No couriers in the top 30. And Bizzy/Brain seem to be the only people
	that do anything. They are no Garotos. So this isn't gonna do. Either
	get atleast everybody doing some trading or I presume they will stay
	in this slump for a long while to come.

		GROUP NAME: RTS
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #7

	Lot of old RTP friends here. So I say hi =]. Only Toadie, which they
	picked up from LFM, makes an appearance in the top 30. I must give
	them credit tho. They are 80% US and most of our ranked sites are EU.
	I'd suggest they get clutch, tension, buj, etc on more Euro sites.

		GROUP NAME: VENGEANCE
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #6

	They picked up roc from DMS. A major plus. They were fading for a bit.
	TC had a great go at it last week. Floaty also pumped some megs. I'm
	not sure if Kruzin is with them or not. But he'd help if he was. Also
	if they can get Dark Druid in action again they'll diffently be one
	powerful team.

                    ---=====( Closing Statement )=====---

	I hope you like the first issue. I'm going to try my best not
	to make it biased. Also, sorry about it being late, it was the
	first issue after all. We need ASCii/ANSi artists and writers.
	Talk to me (DIAM0ND) on EFNet to apply...
