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

	Okay welcome to the new Revelation 2. Yes, name is 100% biased.
	We seem to have a lot of people enjoying the magazine. I'm glad
	to hear that. We still *really* need people to do articles and
	interviews. Talk to me on EFNet. - DIAM0ND

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

	Game Groups-

		<*> We've been about 17 days and no RAZOR release. I do admit
		there are not that many games coming out now. But I'm wondering
		if ][ce and Cypher leaving had any effect on them. Only time
		will tell...

		<*> Class seems to have really done a lot better lately. I can
		hardly remember the last fix they had to put out. And I like
		that C-Files installer. Keep up the good work guys.

	Utils Groups -

		<*> Sneeze is now a Senior or something to that effect in PFT,
		which is pretty much the best utils group out there right now.
		So we at RVL2 say congrats to him.

	Cracking Groups -

		<*> CORE had a big shitfit about people stealing their keygens
		and serials. I read thru the page and even tho I know nothing
		about the cracking scene they seem to be right. Here's the URL:
		

	Courier Groups -

		<*> MOTiV8 seems to be in trouble. Now Mason, Dogan or whoever
		will get mad at me for stating this, but they've lost two good
		couriers in the last week. They have 3-4 *active* ones left.
		And those guys are not doing any supercourier acts like Garoto
		and Snap always seems to pull off. I hear rumors of some dis-
		organization in the group. Well the better pull it together or
		M8 is gonna go thru RIP Round 2.

	Couriers -

		<*> Okay, Slammar's lil INDness is over. He is now hooked up
		in DMS. Along with redman and MoonSabre. DiMENSiON seems to
		be making a phat comeback to #1 after fading for a bit there.

		<*> Glen, formely of RSS fame, and Sickness from TNO/Reveal
		have both joined Revelation. I wish them the best of luck in
		their new home.

	Sites -

		<*> MSV has dropped ESPRiT for DEVOTiON. If you ask me, it's
		about time. For like 2 months I never saw a ESPRiT guy on the
		weektop. Week before they were about to loose it like four or
		so of them pop-up. Yah right, you ain't gonna pass with that.

		<*> Also on the subject of MSV. PREMiERE has conceded the affil
		probally because they hadn't released anything for like two or
		three weeks. So the affil is open to whatever utils group would
		like the slot.

		<*> PREMiERE seems to be finally fading away. Also giving up a
		STH affil. SiEGE jumped in and got it as some sort of HQ. They
		are gonna end up like TRPS with 40 HQs pretty soon it seems.

                <*> WOC is still not up. Now I'm getting impatient. It does take
		several weeks to install a T3. With this amount of time it better
		be one badass T3. I've heard rumors of it coming back as KAC WHQ,
		REVELATiON CHQ and an as yet unnamed game and util affil. These
		are just rumors and nothing is set in stone.

		*** NOTE: Unlike Sky, I prefer not get my news from TCA ***

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

	PM and TT switch places this week. This is after watching both sites and
	talking to couriers. PM seems to be getting the warez faster so it moves
	up a spot. IC and PL also switch places, again for the same reason. Also
	TDR replaces NMS on the X1 section. If you have any ideas on how ranking
	should be done, message me on EFNet. I'm open for input.

	I added this part which lists all ranked sites and thier affils. This may
	not be 100% accurate and if you find anything wrong message me. I may add
	other nonranked sites later, but I doubt it. Anyways I hope you enjoy it.

	One last addition was the alltime group and courier scores. If their is a
	change in a sites X ranking it will not affect alltime. This bit is added
	up using previous issues of RVL2 with the Top 30 and Top 15 sections.

			No interviews this week

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

	A while ago someone critized me about not having the balls to talk bad or
	otherwise about a group in this section. Well this is not NWR. My report
	has a different purpose. It is not here to make fun of any group. I made
	this so group leaders may read it and see what they could do to improve
	how good they are doing. The main hope of this section is to help couriers
	and group leaders. So do not tell me I don't have the guts to bag on people.

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

	Just lost MoonSabre to DIMENSiON. This is not looking good for Ambition. I
	see them slowly fading each week. They recently picked up raberts of ViCE
	fame, but unless he hits like 70 points a week for them they will only get
	worse as time goes on.

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

	Garoto had no shell last week, therefore the lack of trading. Come on, with
	norseman they should have been able to get their #1 guy something. Well they
	sure as hell got him something this week. He went buck and took the #1 spot.
	Sneeze, Jaydee and Norseman even showed up at really nice spots on the top
	30. Some of it was pres, some was trading, Devotion seems to be on the fast
	track to success tho.

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

	Like I stated before they were slowly going off into the abyss. Obviously
	Lester did not like that and went on a recruiting spree. Picking up redman,
	slammar and moonsabre in the process. A very nice catch and will indeed
	insure that DiMENSiON is a force for a while to come.

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

	Snap decided to take a nap this week. While he was sleeping xRex and dawn
	were working the sites quiet nicely. Snap showed up for about 2-3 days and
	traded enough to hit 72 points. So EQL showed some neat teamwork this week.

		GROUP NAME: fATE
		GROUP TYPE: COURiER
		GROUP RANK: #15

	All but gone with Aldog and his couriering abilities. He is good when he tries
	to be. But he doesn't try enough. Thanx to 8 points by Zeus we know they are
	still alive and not out of it completely.

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

	What the hell happened? They were on the road to a maginficient return and then
	like Roller went into lazy mode. Maybe it was Doobie's narc threats on him or
	something. Maybe MNM just had a miracle with last week's #1 grouptop.

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

	Same thing as was said with MiLLENiUM. They were getting ready to rock then had
	a few problems. Baseclw, part one of their two man courier team, checked in
	with only 2 points this week. That's not gonna work, they better get him back
	in action if they expect to do anything.

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

	Diamond showed the best performance by an FXPer ever. Right up in the top 10
	with the liu.se shell dudes. Few more guys active this go around and picked
	up two new members. Looks like we are finally reaching potentional.

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

	Diffently coming back. Even without Officedog doing a lot for them they got
	upto #2. Lethal and Morbid work great together as a team. If they pick up
	one or two more guys of their calibur number one is not far off.

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

	Really fading away this week. TC did a little bit of trading and ROC did
	almost nothing. They were on the way to glory and it looks like VGN has
	taken a detour. Maybe next time they'll keep the climb to the top going.

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

	I said this in the Intro and you obviously saw the lack of articles
	and interviews. Therefore we need people to do this stuff for us.
	So if you can help out in anyway, including collecting weektops, as
	we missed a few this week. Please talk to me right away! - DIAM0ND
