- Swappers...Dad's Guide.
-
-
- I've been trading now for over six years.During this time I had contacts
- in the four corners of the world.My point is,that I've noticed a set down
- pattern that vertually all swappers fall into.So thats what I'm going to
- write about.Basically they all fall into catagories...
-
-
- (i) The Lamer.
-
- Right,most of you know about these guys.You place an advert in a zine
- and you get a package from a guy claiming to have the "hottest stuff".So you
- open the package and stick in the discs.What you usually find is some
- ancient game that was out months ago or the worst virus infectted disc
- you've ever got.Take this for example...I once got a letter from a lamer who
- wrote,"only the hottest stuff ! Send NOW to Highlander PLK....".Well he
- sounds all right,but lets look at the discs."Lemmings",a good game but its
- the untrainded version that was cracked four and a half months ago."budbrain
- II",a nice demo from last year though !! My conclusion..a typical lamer.
-
- (ii) The Speed Swapper.
-
- This is the sort of guy who write "0-1.5 day old stuff,elite only !"
- Well he certainly lives up to his name.His stuff is usually downloaded and
- when you receive it,it is eally very new ! Now you've got some really great
- stuff from him,but you're in a bit of a fix.What are you going to send him ?
- Your stuff is new but not that new ! You're fucked ! So you send him back
- some stuff,(mainly demos) and he hates demos so he tells you to "Fuck Off".
-
- (iii) The Normal Swapper.
-
- This breed of swapper is without a doubt the best.A guy who has most
- of the recent releases and a good backlist.He usually returns a package a
- day or two after he receives it.This guy knows what a "letter" is,and is not
- scared to write a long one.A real friend who phones,doesn't boast and
- generally is friendly.These are the guys that real swapping is made up of.
