There they are,  major changes!  Almost everyone who's left from
the previous chart,  climbed some places.  Partly that's because
dead groups were removed,  partly also because voters recognised
active teams at last.  Also, AMD is alive! They recently cracked
Miracle #3 and therefore  well deserve a place  there.  Not much
heard  from  FTL lately  cracking-wise,  so can we expect a fall
next time?

The 63 Bit series helped  AC to jump nearly twenty positions up.
First place  without changes,  PGS  is falling  apart because of
idling of ages.  Also XTM is leaving,  this year there were only
intros and one quite poor demo from this famous demo group. Nice
to see here Slovakia's 3SC and Czechia's K3L entering the top as
well as  DKG who finally managed to get in. And, strange enough,
EMG climbed three places despite very low activity demo-wise.

Wow, Fyrex! Last time noone out of over 100 voters mentioned him
but now he is number one thanks to bunch of quality cracks. But,
weren't these  done in the end on 1998?  Or am i wrong?  Pol did
some nice cooperation with FTL, releasing such games as Quadrax,
Sherwood and Twiligh, that's why he is here, but Maddy surely is
the best  and most active  PHT  cracker today,  sho he should be
first in the row of PHT cracking quattro.

Even can't tell you what's more cool - Serzh from 24th to second
place or Freeman  from 43rd to seventh!  Anyway, active people's
ratings are raising.  Exploder did leave speccy and therefore he
is moving out,  just a natural thing.  Being  really productive,
Phantom Lord enters the top ten, also people who were previously
in lower positions before, like Kva, Dc Pak and Baze, are coming
in. The question is, will they stay here?

Some kept their previous positions, some moved up or down a bit,
but the  surprise of the season is  Diver ofcourse!  Considering
his incredible  activity it's only logical,  however not much of
people  nowadays tend to notice and dynamically  accept changes,
therefore it  came as surprise  anyway.  And  Werewolves  taking
chart by  the storm,  is there any reason?  Didn't  see anything
from him for a quite long time.

A lot of  changes there.  Who expected  to see  Mast at the very
top?  Definitely not me. 10th place is also surprising, climbing
30 places isn't a joke! Ea lately became very popular as well as
Zhenya, who  nowadays arn't interested in speccy anymore.  Where
are Agent-X,  Ironman and  Andrew Fer? Very  close but this time
they are still left outside.

Ufff looks like i should say something about organizers... there
is  everything  written  down and crystal  clear!  Just like any
other chart ;]  But well i know you're all waiting what the hell
i will say, for example, about fact that Arty is absolute number
one getting twice as points as nearest follower.  Good question!
I don't know!  But i know why La Esq appeared here. It's because
he made  RA to release some nice demo finally. You did it Neil!

Ha-ha-ha!  Now, maybe my russian isn't  that bad at all?  Better
try to judge my journalistic  skills in english!  Or in latvian,
what's perhaps even more  interesting.  Anyway, here we are with
this chart for first time, and my advice is to look closer who's
writting  what so you will  know your  speccy  journalists a bit
better.  FTL dudes are still  popular but where's promised  RIP?
And what happened to #Z80? Deja Vu turned commercial, phew!
