From Dusk - On the outcome of the contest on the game VIRUS-2.

             From Dusk Till Dawn


 (C) Re-Animator


   Remember not so long ago ZX-SHADOW holding a contest for the 
game "VIRUS II". I've spent in a place with DJ VIRUS'om entire 
competition, survived all the ups and day, I know almost 
everything about this event. Now I will tell some of its 
details. 


   Originally the competition was held as planned and without 
any overlap In a personal letter to Ilya wrote that he wants to 
extend the contest as possible. But time passed. Viruses 
occurred less and less vseldstvie this Ilya approached me for 
help all More and more often. I calmly delivered his viruses, 
painted them on Phone DIAMOND group and placed in the contest. 
Still, the competition slowly die. Yes, and DJ VIRUS said he 
would tie with him. I was offered lucrative compromise: my 
virus "naked" will last four weeks (in a controversial battle 
victory give him), but if you send a virus really is stronger 
than (I'm not a strong sent) interviewed me is taken regardless 
of the outcome. I am with read. All would be and was, if not 
for one incident. Namely open "attacks" repeatedly on me 
personally and DIAMOND group. All who hung out at the UBS 
OPPOSITION could see them. We could not so leave and at the 
next DIAMOND'ovnike we decided to teach. Was chosen as the most 
harmless way: charge the ZX-SHADOW another four weeks in the 
contest. Proposed a simple plan Action: the virus from someone 
else's phone is stronger than the virus "naked" to send to the 
final week. As conceived, well done. But first for rehearsals, 
I sent two of the virus to the contest from my phone with 
Krasnogvardeyskaya, while I have not even used AntiAON'om. And 
any "attack" Elijah about why I was ready to repulse. But the 
DJ VIRUS ignored "safety equipment". Knowing that this phone is 
not in the list of network users, he did not watch it the 
presence on its AON'e. And my illegal viruses attended in the 
contest, and one of them reached the final. But the greater 
moral pleasure we get from what he considered the following:

Competition 50/50% - ALL / DIAMOND group, but in reality 62.5% 
of viruses were from us on this week. In a word rehearsal was a 
success. On the final week I have three rules of the virus, 
including virus "Andrew", and cover letter to "divert 
attention". By the way add, "John" is a "naked" with the 
difference that the virus "John" 14th and 15th points set to 
the maximum. By the way, AntiAON'om again, I did not use, and 
DJ VIRUS again not rides trick. Still, he hid doubts and he 
decided change the conditions of competition, and reduce 
competition to a battle between the contenders. Ilya even 
painted a picture, singer of the virus "Andrew", and insisted 
that I looked at him. Then I explained him that the picture - 
good, but it is terrible and tasteless. I just Ilya said that 
this virus does not beat me. To prepare for the decisive battle 
was given to about 14 days, if not more. I am absolutely did 
not bother, because I compete with myself. Time passed, and the 
cherished date approached. As I remember, I hang out at The 
Left and Suddenly I remember: "Mother of God ... one day left!" 
Since all 10 viruses are written I have been sitting at TheLeft 
on his knees, literally. Here and there was little nakladochka: 
I have not tested them for viruses "John". I calmly sending 
these viruses in two passes ZX-SHADOW'u and cover letter again 
for "Eyewash." AntiAON I have not included, and in the letter 
gave him small beacon the following lines: "... and my wife, 
Maria V. ..." Besides, I signed up Andrew and all of this is 
not just. The explanation is simple: The Left - Andryushina 
Maria V.. And the whole meaning of the letters, and first and 
second, was this: I am not a network, your modem does not have, 
I'm his friend sometimes gives, in a network to call once, 
perhaps a call. After DJ VIRUS last letter was pretty tense. 
First, he rides a trick with numbers. Tolls The Left, a y it, 
we just celebrated birthday, and let me torture why viruses 
from Andrew with my phone? (Strange one, and from What is the 
phone to send them to me?) I explained all this: The Left 
called me asking you to upload all this, here are saying it and 
figure it out. Well, The Left is our people. After her 
explanation Ilya uspokoilsya.No little swearing from him that I 
(and not just me) heard plenty enough. As you sit at Elijah 
away, drink wine, and he tells me: "Come on now this dude 
call." (This was right after Andrew's scored a "naked", the 
second letter, I still did not sent, the first name is not 
there.) I offered to do it after the newspaper "ONLINE". The 
proposal was approved. But shortly after the second letter DJ 
VIRUS did not not what to expect and postures Wonil my 
grandmother at the Red Guard, she "oblamala" it with the Yes. 
Later, my grandfather called Alex and Wlodek Black.Takogo 
interesting development, I was not expecting. Wlodek Black even 
wrote a letter that "John". That is entirely a letter:

No wonder Vladimir is the coordinator. Our whole group is 
awfully pleased. And how could we not rejoice? And the 
ZX-SHADOW and Alex and Wlodec Black Maria Valentinovna looking 
for my grandmother! Well guys, well, great. Next went the final 
shatka. Any virus from five from me was stronger than any 
virus, "my opponent." Ilya Though he wrote that he did not feel 
sympathy to any of the contenders for the title "Virusologo All 
Russia", but he was not pleased with my vyigrashem in 
suhuyu.Tut and surfaced that nakladochka of Cator I wrote 
above. DJ VIRUS rides that all of my viruses slabzhe virus 
"John" and started to underestimate my success. "Okay ..." - I 
thought, and suggested that DJ VIRUS'u fight for the title of 
"Absolute virologist All Russia." Ilya agreed. I picked up the 
virus, "Chameleon" and nearly finalized, and so he was stronger 
than the virus "John". It took Less than an hour, and Elijah, I 
"hang noodles on the ears" out for three days. Then announced 
that I was ready, and went personally to him to look at his 
reaction. We drank a little wine, and away we go. Zagrizili 
viruses, we look ... I look and do not cut in: my virus loses 
there, where I have won it (you probably already heard that 50%

success of the virus depends on the angle at which he started 
the fight). Ilya quietly gloated, saying do not say 
vyigraesh.Ya asked to restart the battle. Here DJ VIRUS 
explained that the corner where he began his fight "John" is 
the strongest. I only left that poverit.Poka we watched a video 
DIAMOND'ovnika plagued me all doubts about the outcome of the 
battle, because I have a strong angle on a computer on the 
other. Sometime Ilya switched to a fight (the ZX-SHADOW'a 
monitortelevizor), although "Chameleon" potehonku proigruval 
virus "Andrew" DJ VIRUS but has not been so adamant on account 
of the winner. After two requests for a draw, "Chameleon," has 
died. I said that both viruses made by odinnakovoy system, and 
Ilya was a sharply deny. Estimate, he began to argue with their 
author. But now doubts appeared at Ilya (all the time he did 
not conceal his sympathies to the virus "John"), because now we 
have changed the virus places. Looking a bit On top, he 
switched on the video. Somewhere in ten minutes, he switch move 
in the battle and was horrified ... "John" was lying in a 
narrow strip bottom field boya.Tut DJ VIRUS preznal my success. 
Before reaching the request on a draw virus "John" has died. 
Ilya with some hope held Two more fight in the other corners, 
but the result was the same. "Your virus is the strongest ... 
Cool you did a virus "- told me Ilya. "And Andrew's not bad, I 
did ..." - I almost said. After this On the competition, we 
tied. It remains only to an interview. And the interviews - it 
was also a number. It was held as follows: on SHADOW BBS was 
lying to me email with questions and instructions on what 
should be in the responses, I downloaded, posted, uploaded. 
Later it became clear that not which is part of the interview 
uteryanna. Began to look for. I found only the first three 
questions unanswered. But we were lucky, Elijah had not seal on 
the drive, where he has erased the interview. Everything was 
restored but - saved by our work. The interview itself began 
taking after virus "Naked" won the third and the beginning of 
finals week to locally almost polnustyu vzyato.Pered him Ilya 
asked me to myself predumat title, which will be loud and 
prikolnyy.Ya without hesitation, with the emphasis on fun, call 
"Fikalistom. Ilya from this ugaral nemerenoe. After that had 
come up but Boc. Again, without hesitation, with emphasis on 
sonority, I called myself "a virologist All Russia." By the 
way, my answers a little touch up, though I reported this, he 
warned. Yet add something that the first version of the rules 
of the competition offered me was approved and went into 
advertising the event, but with the start of it came from 
meneny to other well-known rules. Be that as it may, the 
competition was held and I am grateful to the chief organizer 
of the ZX-SHADOW'u for his conduct.



   And now I ask the question Spencer'u.

Re-Animator> Spencer, tell me your opinion about this, that the 
intensity It is interesting to you remember?


Spencer> Yes, while the session was in full swing and I am 
inordinately ugoral on the amount of required knowledge, wrote 
the script in parallel new toy "The Crazy Battle World"-style 
dead action. Once, on the last night before an exam, preparing 
and simultaneously shaking megademu 1200 sectors ZX-SHADOW BBS, 
at 4:28 MSK its HOST picked up the phone and we talked (yes, 
megademo did not transfer!), We are talking about the contest 
on the game VIRUS II, it became clear that a user "John" takes 
part in the competition, not being registered in ZXNet'e, 
feedback can not be established within 3 weeks, plus all the 
viruses sent to them come with the phone ReAnimator'a, after 
this story Ilya asked my opinion , I explained to him that DJ 
VIRUS already tied, because all approved its rules on them 
actually violated and there is nothing now to twitch, even if 
user "John" is Re-Animator, what DJ told me he did not exclude 
the possibility of their familiarity, but no relationship, I do 
not rule out love online, but the user "John" was already 
married to a certain Mary V., version soon disappeared, I was 
involved in the search process even though he knew the answer 
(I was reminded of the sensational process "O newspaper Fuck"), 
I became acquainted with three volumes MATERIALS collected 
Senior Investigator ZX-SHADOW'om and realized that the suspect 
may fall on anyone, except Re-Animator'a, needed any clue, so 
the newspaper ONLINE threw the bait with the message, but user 
"John" could not call a voice, and Spectrum on the phone 
344-1022, we were not, therefore, Re-Animator continued to 
"throw" personal letters to the ZX-SHADOW BBS with the excuse 
that a lot of work and take the modem from a friend and his 
wife Maria V. scandal: mole big guy, do not feed my children, 
and you're still playing with toys! Sometimes at night I do 
call this number and said that should "Andr'u" a lot of money, 
but such was not there. Early one morning, I looked HISTORY +, 
and saw the coveted number who took CAT: A and left a letter, 
again probably with a dummy phone, but no number AON'e 
converged, so what is the Phantom or Reality? Later, I dug up 
the real things of this well-planned stunt. Someone REAL / DG 
the night at a certain time, should was calling from antiaonom, 
to make download of a fake number, and lie down on the bottom 
for a few weeks, but this time with Phone nobody user "Andr'a 
was supposed to call to light up, an interested person 
Re-Animator, as there have grandmother on the weekends, here is 
the so-Vaught. Later nerves Ilya no longer stood (30-35 swear 
words a minute on "Andr'e" in a conversation with me on the 
phone), it was clear that devilry with a super-game VIRUS time 
to finish. Approached the super-mega-finals, where only one the 
two can survive and one day before he called me Re-Animator, 
and asked where he was taken once 10 viruses, in response, I 
wondered: how 10, after 5 Participants? And he told me the 
answer: Yes, Andrei asked for help, a lot of cases! (I do not 
know maybe you all exactly as I yet when you do not ugoral) In 
the end the final was held in heavy fighting a phantom "John" 
was crushed and iznichtozhit. Better happy End, and could not 
be because one of our brothers SPEKTRUMISTOV won the same 
otherworldly forces of evil, and again the world is saved to 
the next battle. Only that you have read the summary of the 
recently released video-film "MORTAL KOMBAT II", paid for 
itself Weekly rentals in the U.S.. Since you have been Spencer 
/ DG. ;-) 


   We are also interested in the opinion of Maria V., but ...
Unfortunately, she did not have any equipment (and superior) 
nor the desire, to help us in this story. At that had its 
zavvershit.
