OGM Meditation #00000000.00000000
...... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, WILD ONES OF ALL AGES, WE WELCOME YOU TO COME ALL IN, INSIDE THE ELECTRIC CIRCUS OF >> TRISTAR^ << ...... TRISTAR^? BLOODY HELL, WHAT IS THAT? SOMETHING TO EAT? A MOVIE COMPANY? A NEW CAR? -- NO, FRIENDS, WE MUST INFORM YOU: IT'S THE COOPERATION OF FOUR MEGA TEAMS (SO WE ARE FOUR STARS!) ..... DETAILED TRISTAR^ CONSISTS OF THE OGM CREW (THE CREATERS OF THE LEGENDARY ALIENS DEMO AND ALSO ONE OF THE FASTEST TEAMS ON AMIGA) M.C.P (KNOWN TO YOU BECAUSE OF THEIR FAB GRAPHICS (NOT AT LEAST BECAUSE OF THE MCP SHOW WHICH WAS ONLY FOR INTERNAL USE BUT SPREAD BY A LAMER, BUT MORE ABOUT THAT LATER!)) BITKILLERSOFT (YES, MIKE WAS THE LAST ONE OF US TO JOIN TRISTAR - WISE DECISION, EH?) KGB CREW (OUR FORCE ON THE 64 (YES, AND ALSO STARTING ON THE AMIGA NOW) WE THINK IT'S ENOUGH TO MENTION ONLY THE FOUR TEAMS NOW AND NOT DETAILED ALL MEMBERS, BECAUSE AT PRESENT TRISTAR^ HAS 18 (!) MEMBERS (FIVE OF OGM, THREE OF MCP, 9 KGB'ERS AND OF COURSE 1 GUY OF BKS) ..... POUH, THAT'S QUITE A LOT YOU MAY THINK NOW, BUT IT'S A GREAT TEAM NOW AND EVERYBODY HAS HIS OWN POSITION, SO WE HAVE NOW THREE SWAPPERS ON AMIGA, TWO ON THE 64, TWO ON THE ST (UUUUH, SHAME OVER US), THREE 64 CODERS, ONE GRAPHIC FREAK ONE AMIGA AND TWO AMIGASOUNDWIZARDS. ON THE OTHER HAND WE HAVE ONLY ONE PROGRAMMER ON THE AMIGA AND IT'S NOT SECRET THAT WE ARE SEARCHING FOR A SECOND ONE. SO IF YOU ARE VERY GOOD IN CODING, PLEASE CONTACT US BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT TO DO IN THE FUTURE - TOO MUCH FOR ONLY ONE PERSON ! WHAT CAN YOU AWAIT FROM TRISTAR^? WELL GUYS, WE CAN TELL YOU: A LOT! AT PRESENT WE ARE DOING OUR PART TO A LOT OF PROGRAMES, LIKE: DETONATOR FAST LIGHTNING GHOST'N GOBLINS WAR PATROL BOMBER STREET BLASTERS CRUNCHER AND OUR VERY OWN GAME, WHICH NAME WILL NOT BE GIVEN TO PUBLICITY YET! BESIDE THAT YOU WILL GET SOME AMIGACRACKS FROM US IN THE FUTURE (BY THE WAY, IF YOU ARE MORE THE TYPE OF A FAST ORIGINALSUPPLIER THEN CONTACT US ALSO!). WE ARE ALSO DOING SOME WORK FOR DEMOS AND INTROS OF OTHER BIG TEAMS ON THE AMIGA. FINALLY WE WILL DO SOME OTHER DEMOS FOR OURSELVES IN THE FUTURE, LOOK OUT! YOU CAN GET MORE DETAILED INFORMATIONS ABOUT US IN ONE OF THE NEXT 'AMIGA SPECIAL' (GERMAN COMPUTER MAGAZINE) WHOSE CREATORS WERE KIND ENOUGH TO DO AN INTERVIEW WITH US! BY THE WAY, HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS DEMO? WE THINK IT'S A BIG INCREASE AGAINST THE 'ALIENS/SAMANTHA FOX DEMO' (WHICH WAS ONE OF THE BEST DEMOS WHEN IT WAS RELEASED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO (WE THINK SO!)). FIRST WE INTENDED TO RELEASE A FULL DISK MEGA DEMO LIKE THAT ONE OF ANTITRAX, BUT THEN WE WERE NOT ABLE TO RELEASE THAT DEMO BEFORE MARCH/APRIL 1988. SO WE DECIDEDTO GIVE YOU THE FIRST PART OF THIS DEMO NOW AND THE SECOND IN 1988 (IT WILL CONTAIN THAT MEGA EDDY MURPHY PICTURE THAT WE SHOWED TO SOME FRIENDS AT THE FCS COPYPARTY). SO, DEAR GUYS OF ANTITRAX, THIS DEMO IS NOT AS LONG THAN YOURS, BUT IT CONTAINS THE LONGEST SCROLLER EVER MADE ON AMIGA - SO AFTER YOU HAD THE RECORD FOR ONE AND A HALF WEEK, WE ARE NOW THE CHAMPIONS OF MEGA SCROLLIES! HEY WATCHERS, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FONT LIKE THIS? IT CONTAINS 16 (!) COLOURS AND WAS DESIGNED BY OURSELVES (OF COURSE MCP). NOT ONLY THE FONT IS MADE BY OUR SELVES, EVERYTHING LIKE THE BRUSH, CODING, SOUND AND EVEN THE STARROUTINE IS (C) 1987 BY TRISTAR (THEY'RE NOT STOLEN FROM THE S0DAN DEMO AS YOU MAY THINK ON THE FIRST VIEW. OUR ROUTINE WAS READY LONG AGO, BUT S0DAN WAS FASTER TO COMPLETE HIS DEMO, SO HE WAS THE FIRST TO BRING THAT EFFECT (SHIT, BUT THAT'S THE COMPETITION). THE SOUND YOU ARE NOW LISTENING TO WAS ALSO COMPOSED BY US USING THE GREAT HQC SOUNDROUTINE - THANK YOU FOR THAT, HIGH QUALITY CRACKINGS. WE THINK A LOT OF YOU GUYS ARE READING DEMOTEXTS ONLY FOR THE GREETINGS, SO WE CAN CALM YOU DOWN, THEY ARE FOLLOWING IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS TOGETHER WITH SOME WORDS TO OUR FRIENDS. AS USUAL WE GREET ALPHABETICAL, BUT THE DIFFICULT THIS TIME WAS ONE WORD. WE HAVE THOUGHT A LONG TIME ABOUT WHAT TO WRITE INSTEAD OF THE WORD 'GREETINGS'. FIRST WE THOUGHT 'WE RAISE OUR FISTS' IS A COOL SLOGAN, BUT THAT'S ALREADY USED BY ANTITRAX. THEN WE REMEMBERED 'THE DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER' BUT THAT'S ALREADY USED BY BAMIGA. THEN WE HAD A GREAT IDEA. WHAT IS NEARER TO STARS (TRISTAR) THAN LIGHT? SO WE SEND THE LIGHTSHININGS!. WE LET OUR LIGHT SHINE TO OUR FRIENDS: 1001 AND THE CRACKING CREW (HELLO HONEY, WHAT IS WITH YOUR GROUP? IT'S A PITY THAT YOU ARE DOING NEARLY NOTHING TO THE SCENE BECAUSE YOUR TEAM IS IN CODING TOP!) * AMIG0 (GREETINGS FROM ONE OF YOUR 250 (???) CONTACTS. BUYING IS PLATINIUM - HA, COOL SLOGAN!) * ANTITRAX 2010 (ONE COULD THINK THAT THE FCS/ECC PARTY ON 5TH WAS AN ANTITRAX PARTY! WE ALL THINK THAT IT WAS A COOL SHOW AT 6 O'CLOCK - ANTITRAX ON STAGE PRESENTING THEIR MEGA DEMO. YOU HAVEN'T PROMISED TOO MUCH, REALLY A MASTERPIECE. BUT OLEG, YOU WERE SO PROUD TO GET THE SCROLLYRECORD FROM RELAX.NOW, ONE AND A HALF WEEK AFTER FCS WE OWN THE RECORD - THANKS FOR CLEARING UP THE PUBLIC ABOUT 'ORGAMATRON'. FRANKIE THE 'LITTLE' WARLOCK? HHHRMPHF, WE DON'T THINK THAT YOU ARE MUCH TALLER, OLEG!) * BAMIGA SECTOR ONE&THE KENT TEAM (HELLO THIERRY AND YOUR DAD (ALL THE FAMILY DOING COMPUTER? - COOL !). ALSO A BIG HELLO TO ERIC, WHO WAS OUR FIRST BIG AMIGACONTACT ALMOST A 3/4 YEAR AGO AND HELPED US UP TO THE TOP - THANK YOU FOR THAT MY FRIEND. HELLO DEREK FROM THE KENT TEAM - WE HOPE THAT WE CAN HOLD A GOOD SWAPCONTACT AGAIN!) * BITSTOPPERS (AS YOU WAS ALSO (LIKE BKS) A LITTLE BIT HAPPY (OR BETTER: DRUNKEN - YES, THE KORN LOVERS!)

WE ARE WAITING FOR YOURS!) * BLIZZARD (AT THE MOMENT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO SAY MUCH ABOUT YOU, BECAUSE WE THINK YOU ARE A CONTACT OF CRACKHAWK AND HE IS NOT HERE RIGHT NOW.

SHAME OVER US, BUT AT THE MO WE DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE AMERICAN OR CANADIAN, BUT WE GUESS YOU ARE CANADIAN - IF NOT, SORRY. ANYWAY A BIG HELLO ALSO TO YOU!) * ENTERPRISE (HELLO FALCON, OUR FRIEND. SORRY, BUT AS YOU SEE WE ARE NOT DOING ANY SPECIAL GREETINGS. WE ALSO DON'T SEND FUCKINGS, BUT GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR WAR AGAINST THAT GUY!) * FIRESOFT INTERNATIONAL (HELLO COOL FREDERICK.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR COPYPARTY IN JANUARY AND WISH YOU MUCH LUCK WITH THAT (ONE OF US IS ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO GET 28.- FROM BKA!). THANKS A LOT FOR THE INVITATION, BUT COULD YOU PLEASE SEND US ANOTHER, BECAUSE WE THINK WE HAVE LOST THE FIRST ONES IN 'FRANKIES SAUSTALL'.

WELL, PERHAPS WE DO A 'Z-0' LIST IN THE FUTURE, PERHAPS!) ...... POOOUUUH, THAT WAS ALL WE THINK! WE WILL ALSO GIVE YOU OUR C64 HELLOS AT THE END OF THE DEMO, SO IF YOU ARE A 64 CONTACT OF TRISTAR^, YOU HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT ANOTHER 40 MINUTES! AT THIS MOMENT THIS TEXT IS ABOUT 14500 BYTES LONG AND WE HAVE TO DO ABOUT 25100 TO GET THE CROWN FROM ANTITRAX, SO IF YOU AREN'T SLEEPING ALREADY WE WILL GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATIONS ABOUT OUR BEGINNING (THE EARLY DAYS OR BETTER: THE HUNGRY YEARS): IT WAS JANUARY 1987 AND THERE WAS AN APPLE (FOR THE YOUNG ONES OF YOU, THAT IS A COMPUTER!) USER, CALLING HIMSELF 'ASTRAY TECHNICS' WHO HAD THE GREAT IDEA TO BUY AN AMIGA. THE EFFECT WAS BIG! FOUR OTHER BOYS WERE INFECTED BY THE AMIGA AND BOUGHT THEMSELVES THEIR OWN MACHINE. THE NAMES OF THAT BOYS WERE QUITE STUPID. THEY HAD NAMES LIKE FBS, BANANA BROTHERS, HUB-SOFT AND TST AND WERE SMALL LOOSERS ON THEIR MACHINES (ALL FROM THE 64 EXCEPT B.B., WHO CAME FROM THE APPLESCENE (WAS THERE A SCENE?)). THIS FOURGUYS INTENDED TO BUILD A NEW GROUP, BUT THERE WAS NO NAME. JUST ON THAT DAY THERE WAS A COMPUTER FAIR IN DORTMUND AND THE FOUR GUYS THOUGHT IT WAS TIME TO GET SOME CONTACTS - SO THEY DROVE TO THAT FAIR. BUT THEY REALIZED SOON THAT LIVE IS HARD FOR SMALL FISHES ON AMIGA. WE MET GUYS LIKE ACS GERMANY THERE (AT THAT TIME THEY WHERE GODS FOR US!) AND WE HAD TO KISS THEIR FEET FOR 'WINTERGAMES'. NO ONE WAS INTERESTED IN THE FOUR GUYS - EXCEPT TWO OTHER GUYS WHICH SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE BIT SHY, BUT VERY OK. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NO SOFTWARE, BUT MENTIONED THAT THEY PAINT SOME PICTURES IN THEIR FREETIME. AS THEY LIVED NEXT TO US (ABOUT 20 KM) WE INVITED THEM FOR THE NEXT SATURDAY. FRIDAY (ONE DAY BEFORE) FBS (THE ONLY METAL FAN OF OGM) HAD A GREAT IDEA. HE ASKED B.B.:' WHY DON`T WE CALL OUR GROUP 'ORGASMATRON' - THAT SOUNDS FUNNY (LIKE ORGASMUS) BUT MEANS SOMETHING COMPLETELY OTHERS (AS YOU MAY READ ON THE BACKCOVER OF THE LEGENDARY LP 'I AM THE ONE, ORGASMATRON (...) FOR I AM MARS, THE GOD OF WAR, AND I WILL CUT YOU DOWN'). IT'S THE NAME OF THE LATEST RECORD OF MOTOERHEAD. B.B. (A HM HATER) WAS FIRST NOT HAPPY WITH THAT NAME, BUT AFTER SOME MINUTES HE FOUND THE NAME MORE AND MORE INTERESTING. ON THE NEXT DAY THE TWO BOYS FROM THE FAIR VISITED US. THEY SAID, THAT THEIR NAME IS M.C.P. AND SHOWED US THEIR LITTLE PAINTINGS. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT - WE SAW SOME OF THE BEST GRAPHICS WE HAD EVER SEEN. REASON ENOUGH TO ASK THEM TO JOIN OUR GROUP, ORGASMATRON. THEY ANSWERED:'WE WOULD LIKE TO DO A TEAM WITH YOU GUYS, BUT THE NAME ORGASMATRON? BAAAAAAAAAH! WE TALKED SO MUCH SHIT TO THEM THAT THEY SAID, 'OK WE JOIN ORGASMATRON, BUT STOP SPEAKING.' ORGASMATRON WAS BORN! OUR VERY FIRST PACK CONSISTED OF: FBS * BANANA BROTHERS * PLAYBOY (WHO CHANGED HIS NAME FROM TST) * MCP AND HUB-SOFT. SOME WEEKS AFTER THAT ASTRAY JOINED OUR TEAM ALSO. SO WE TRIED TO GET CONTACTS. AT THIS TIME WE WANNA GIVE SOME SALUTES TO OUR VERY FIRST CONTACTS, AS: VINCENT, YAM, ULI, GUT, BLACK MAN AND THE AMIGA SOFTWARE TEAM (YOU WILL HEAR MORE ABOUT HIM LATER!). AT THAT POINT ALMOST ALL MEMBERS WERE AGAINST THE NAME 'ORGASMATRON' (EXCEPT FBS AND B.B.). SO WE SHORTENED THE NAME TO THE OGM CREW .THE CREW WAS ONLY SOME WEEKS OLD AS WE GOT A LOT OF INTERNAL PROBLEMS. FINALLY MCP, ASTRAY AND PLAYBOY LEFT THE GANG (PLAYBOY HAD A REAL WAR WITH B.B., THEY WERE DEADFOES!). SO ONLY FBS, BB AND HUB-SOFT WERE LEFT. THEN WE GOT ANOTHER PROBLEM: EVERYONE WANTED TO BE THE BEST, EVERYONE WANTED HIS NAME BEING THE MOST FAMOUS OF OGM (PARTICULAR FBS AND BB). WE CAME TO THE END THAT ALL NAMES WILL BE KILLED - ONLY OGM AND OUR FIRST NAMES (FBS - FRANKIE * BB - CARSTEN * HUB SOFT - HOLGI). NOW IT'S ALREADY MARCH '87 AND WE ARE STILL A SMALL LAMERGROUP. WHAT CAN ONE DO AGAINST THIS. WE HAD THE ANSWER: CONTACT SOME BIG ONES. SO WE CONTACTED TLC, DANISH GOLD, SCA AND BAMIGA SECTOR ONE, WHO BECAME A VERY GOOD FRIEND TO US. HE WAS ABOUT A MONTH FASTER THAN WE, BUT HE ALWAYS SENDED HIS NEWS. SO WE BEGAN TO BE MORE AND MORE ACTUAL. ANOTHER GOOD CONTACT AT THAT POINT WAS A GUY, CALLED REINHARDT. HIS CODENAME WAS AMIGA SOFTWARE TEAM. SOMETIME HE ASKED US TO JOIN OGM AND WE HAD OUR SUBDIVISION IN RHEINE. WITH THE ACTUAL BS1 STUFF IN OUR HANDS WE GOT MORE AND MORE GOOD CONTACTS. SO WE WERE ONE OF THE FASTEST IN GERMANY, BUT WE WERE NOT FAMOUS ENOUGH. WE NEEDED A DEMO IN ASSEMBLER, BUT WHO CAN CODE? OK, CARSTEN IS QUITE GOOD IN BASIC, BUT THAT'S ALL. FRANKIE IS THE TYPICAL TYPE OF A SWAPPER BUT HE WAS TOO DULL TO DO ANYTHING LIKE CODING. AND HOLGI? OK, PACKING ON THE 64, BUT NOTHING MORE. RHEINE - HARDT WAS ALSO NOT THE TYPE OF A PROGRAMMER. HMMM, WHAT SHOULD WE DO? ONE DAY A SMALL LOOSER HERE IN REMSCHEID (NOW WE ARE THE GOODS FOR THE LOOSERS!) INTRODUCED US HIS FRIEND THOMAS, WHOSE CODENAME WAS 'CONAN'. HE WAS A VERY VERY GOOD CODER WITHOUT ANY STUFF ON AMIGA. SO WE MET US HALF THE WAY AND THOMAS JOINED OGM.SO THE TEAM WHICH IS ACTUAL UP TO NOW WAS COMPLETE! HIS FIRST WORK FOR US WAS OUR 'UNIVERSUM' DEMO WITH MCP GRAPHICS (STILL GOOD FRIENDS), WHICH WE NEVER HAVE RELEASED. AT THAT TIME RADWAR FOUNDED TOGETHER WITH US AND THE AXIOM-1 CREW THE LEGENDARY 'CRACKERS AGAINST AIDS' AND WE SUPPLIED RWE WITH 600 PRAESERATIVES (FOR WHICH WE GET STILL 28 MARKS, BKA). AFTER SOME MONTHS, OUR FIRST DEMO, ALIENS WAS READY, BUT IT FILLED ONLY ABOUT 200K ON THE DISK, SO HOLGI AND FRANKIE DROVE TO GSC TO DIGITIZE A WHOLE SAMANTHA FOX CALENDAR. SO THE DISK WAS FULL! AFTER THAT OGM BECAME BIGGER AND BIGGER AND HAS NOW WITH ITS ABOUT 45 CONTACTS A FIRST CLASS STANDART. BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO M.C.P AFTER THE SPLIT? YES, THEY WERE NO MORE OFFICIAL MEMBERS, BUT THEY VISITED US EVERY WEEK TO GET HOT STUFF. ONE DAY HQC WROTE IN THE INTRO OF 'GUILD OF THIEVES' (WE THINK SO): BEST GRAPHICS WANTED FOR OUR GAME DETONATOR! M.C.P GOT THE JOB!AT THAT TIME THEY ALSO PAINTED SOME TITLESCREENS FOR OGM, HOTLINE (WHY HAVEN'T YOU EVER RELEASED THAT, WIL?) AND FOR BITKILLERSOFT (THATPICTURE IS NOW SHOWN ON THE BKS STICKERS). MIKE OF BKS HELPED THEM TO GET MORE ORDERS, FOR EXAMPLE THE TITLE OF FAST LIGHTNING OR BOMBER. AND THEN THE MOST WORSE THING HAPPENED: M.C.P GOT A NEW MEMBER, FISH - A LOOOOOSER WHO ALSO WANTED TO HAVE A PIECE OF THE BIG CAKE. HE CONTACTED AMIG0 AND SENDED HIM THE LEGENDARY M.C.P. GRAPHICSSHOW, WHICH WAS ONLY FOR INTERNAL USE. THIS SHOW ALS CONTAINED THE OGM TITLEPIC (1). FISH REMOVED THE OGM SIGN OUT OF THE ONE AND SET MCP INTO THE IT. HE PLACED THE 'NEW' PICTURE INTO THE SHOW AND THROWED THE ORIGINAL SOMEWHERE ON THE DISK. SO EVERYBODY WHO GOT THE SHOW THOUGHT, THAT OGM HAD STOLEN A PICTURE FROM MCP! REASON ENOUGH FOR M.C.P TO THROW FISH OUT OF THE GROUP. SO HE FOUNDED HIS OWN LOOSERTEAM, 'THE WILD BOYS' (YES THAT NAME WAS ALLREADY USED BY AN AMERICAN GROUP, BUT FISH ALWAYS WANTED TO GET SUCCESS FROM OTHER TEAMS!). HE GOT SOME CONTACTS LIKE TWILIGHT, VISITORS OR RISKY BUSINESS BOYS. BUT HE WAS NOT ABLE TO HOLD ONE OF THIS CONTACTS, SO HE WAS AT THE BEGINNING AGAIN. WHAT COULD HE DO? HE GOT AN EVIL IDEA. HE WENT TO THE POST AND ASKED FOR POST FOR THE OGM PLK - AND HE GOT IT! HE STOLE OUR POST. SO HE HAD ALSO WAR WITH OGM. AT PRESENT WE THINK THAT WE HAVE REACHED OUR AIM, FISH IS DEAD! BUT BACK TO MCP. THEY MADE THEMSELVES A GOOD NAME BY PAINTING FOR A LOT OF PROGRAMES AND ONE DAY WE (OGM AND MCP) INTENDED TO WORK TOGETHER AGAIN (BUT FOR NOTHING IN THE WORLD MCP WOULD ACCEPT TO WORK UNDER THE NAME 'OGM CREW'). SO WE BEGAN TO CODE THIS DEMO. THE PROJECT'S NAME WAS OGM&MCP (FIRST THIS DEMO HAD INSTEAD OF THE TRISTAR^ BRUSH AN OGM&MCP BRUSH). TWO WEEKS AGO (FROM NOW) TERMINATOR OF MCP SHOWED US A BRUSH, WHICH HE HAD PAINTED 'JUST FOR FUN'. IT WAS THE NAME TRISTAR! FRANKIE WAS REALLY AFFECTED BY THAT NAME AND SPOKE OF NOTHING OTHER THAN FROM TRISTAR^ - THE CONNECTION OF OGM AND MCP. THE OTHERS WERE NOT FUNNY WITH THAT, THEY SAID THAT TRISTAR MEANS THREE TEAMS! SO, WE NEEDED A THIRD TEAM LIVING NEXT TO US. HMMMM, SOME WEEKS AGO THE KGB CREW OFFERED US THEIR COORPERATION AND WE CAME TO THE END THAT KGB WOULD BE THE THIRD STAR. SO WE FOUNDED TRISTAR^ ON THE SECOND OF DECEMBER 1987. THE NEWS WENT ROUND FAST, SO TRISTAR^ WAS ALREADY MENTIONED IN THE 'ILLEGAL'DECEMBER ISSUE, WHICH WAS RELEASED AT THE FCS PARTY AT THE 5TH. BY THE WAY, THANKS TO ALL ILLEGAL'ERS! TODAY (11TH OF DEC.) WE TOOK MIKE OF BKS AS A ;FOURTH STAR INTO THE TEAM. HELL, THE TEAM GROWS MORE AND MORE AND WE CAN PROMISE YOU: THE DOORS ARE SHUT NOW! TRISTAR IS COMPLETE! MIKE WAS THE LAST TO JOIN US! LET'S SEE WHAT THE FUTURE WILL GIVE US. AT PRESENT WE ARE DOING SOME REALLY AMAZING TRISTAR^ BUTTONS AND VERY COOL STICKERS WILL FOLLOW (BY THE WAY, THE OLD YELLOW OGM STICKERS ARE VERY RARE NOW, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALMOST UP NOW. YES, THEY WERE NOT THE BEST BUT WE'VE SEEN MORE UGLY ONES (YEAH, WE MUST TELL YOU A COOL JOKE. AS WE PRINTED THE STICKERS WE ALLOWED ALMOST EVERY LOOSER HERE IN REMSCHEID TO JOIN OGM, LET THEM PAY FOR THE STICKERS AND THROWED THEM OUT OF THE GROUP AGAIN! HARD? NO, BECAUSE THIS LOOSERS GOT ALWAYS ALL HOT STUFF FOR FREE FROM US (THIS IS OF COURSE NOT SO ANYMORE!))) ..... YES, FRIENDS, THAT WAS OUR STORY. OF COURSE WE COULD TELL YOU SOMETHING OF THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHE MEMBER OF US, KGB. FOR EXAMPLE AS THEY BOUGHT STUFF FROM KENTUCKY (HAHAHAHAHAHA - JETZT HAB' ICH ABER WAS VERRATEN!). HELLO OLEG OF ANTITRAX, WE HAVE NOW 25000 BYTES BEHIND US! HMMM, IS THERE STILL ANYONE READING? IF YES, WELL DONE, FRIEND, SO YOU GET A REWARD: OUR CONTACTADDRESS. HEY ALL GOOD CODERS, CONTACT US!
