- Well, everybody have heard about rumors that FC cheated the competition
- at the Assembly93, well they aren't only rumors, .... Those files where
- spreaded into CDN...

- Got this from internet today... :)
-
- Everyone know that Future Crew is probably the BEST demogroup of all
- platform, but however, two disturbing informations that I had discover may
- soon shatter the group and place them in shame.
- If you would FTP ftp.uwp.edu and access /pub/incoming/demos, you
- should see "bear1.gif" and "bear.nfo". It's the picture that Marvel ripped
- off and entered in the ASM-93 contest. That picture won 1st place and
- some lump of money and prizes. This picture clearly indicated that it
- was copyrighted in 1988 (!) by a group which name I can't remember right
- now. Is this true? I am not sure, but, until then, Marvel's skills as
- an artist comes in serious doubt.
- I have confered with a person who have attended the ASM-93 and he
- told me that the music competition was not what it should be, because
- Future Crew members had conducted a ballot-stuffing (fake voting), helping
- their own members win the music competitions.
-
- On a sidenote, Future Crew was rumored to "skip" parts of other
- group's demo, possibly hurting the other group's score due to the fact
- that some scenes went unseen.
-
- As Future Crew regain their position as the best demogroup (repassing
- Triton with their Crystal Dreams 2), did they intentionally cheat to
- show the rest of the world that they "are the best in everything?" If
- all of these dark accusations become true, what would happen to them
- and the PCscene in general? What are your thoughts and comments?

- That's not the only thing stinking about the music competition in Ass'93.
- Many of the other groups' modules sounded worse than they would have,
- if they had been played on a GOOD player. In fact, FC *refused* to use,
- in the 4-channel competition, any other player than ScreamTracker 3,
- which still IMHO has some serious bugs in its .MOD capabilities.

- Hi !
-
- Hmm ... I'd Like To Tell You A Story :
-
- I Downloaded The Grafix From The Assemly '93 PC Compo And Looked At The
- Results. A Picture Named "Ice Kingdom", Drawn By Marvel/FC Had Won The
- Compo. I Looked At The Grafix And Then, There Was The File Called
- ICEKNGDM.LBM. That Must Be The File Which Had Won The Compo ... But As
- I Saw The Grafix, I Had The Feeling Of Remebering That Picture. So
- I Looked At My Fantasy Gif Collection, And The Fourth Picture Was It.
- It Was In The Resoultion 640x480x256 And It Looked Like The One By
- Marvel. The Only Think : It Seemed To Be Scanned ... And The Copyrigth :
- 1988 By TerraVision.
-
- The One Think I Would Like To No Is : How Does It Come That, A Picture By
- Marvel, Which Had Won The PC Compo On The Assembly '93 Appeared In My
- Fantasy Collection, Which Is Taken From A CD-Rom, With A Copyrigth Of
- 1988 ... ? Was There Anyone Cheating ... ?

- Well, I've seen all the messages on this net about BEAR1.ZIP and all the
- other shit about Future Crew, i've also seen the GIF from wich Marvel
- took his picture for assembly, i though Marvel was able to
- make this sort of shit as i know the very bad mentality of FC, I gave
- the original pics to our GFXman (PL/Imphobia) and after seeing the
- pics he told me that its 100% sure that Marvel ripped it.. And as people
- have seen it on the Terracom CDrom, there can't any more doubts about it!
-
- Fc also make troubles in the demo and musix competitions, so what does it
- stands for??? Can we also believe that Marvel (wich is a 'gfxman') made
- the "can't remeber you" mod wich was presented at the music compo? Well
- after seeing how he cheated at the gfx compo, none can know if he didn't
- make the same 'play' at the sound compo...
-
- We really need Future Crew explanation about that, and if FC didn't react,
- it prove that they are lyers!
- But after seeing that, can we still believe one word of what Future Crew
- could say???
-
- The discussion is open....

- Well, since a few weeks I keep hearing all thos nasty rumors about the Future
- Crew.. All those guys are telling me, that FC somehow goofed the competions,
- like using that bad player, etc. etc. Well. That really sounds not too good
- to me, because there should be a 'real' competition. And besides I think that
- Future Crew shouldn't be afraid of a real compo because most of their stuff
- is really quite O.K... But to steal pictures is really not O.K.!
-
- Lets add some more:
-
- At the party '92, the demo competition was, let's say slightly offbeat...
- Future Crew used all those little dirty tricks like:
- ∙ First telling everyone there'll be no demo from them
- ∙ then, all of a sudden, at the END of the compo Gore shouted
- (you know in this certain style) And Now! The new demo by
- the Future Crew.... (all other things were anounced like
- uhh.. hmm yes.. copper? by humm... surbrisse..?...)
- ∙ and finally they turned the volume up to give the sound a special
- boost...
- And all of those tricks really weren't necessary, because Panic was a real
- good demo, so why didn't they show it somewhere in the middle of the others
- with regular volume? Seems a bit strange to me....
-
- So Future Crew.. you really should think it over, if it's worth to betray all
- those other groups.... just for being famous....? is it really that important
- for you to be no.1 ? with all that cheating...? seems like a childish attitude
- to me...
