$:`. two words: it's here!!! :D yes, after, let's see, 3 weeks .':$
$: $ of delay i finally get to release it. first because i was $ :$
$` $ getting in line with the trackering, then the voting program $ '$
: $ problems (see on that later), and finally because my silly isp $ :
: $ decided to screw up in the most inappropriate moment. how $ :
` $ symbolic. $ '
$ in any way, the results are here finally, hope it was worth $
$ the wait. be sure to have a look in about_08.txt file in the $
$ c r u e l i z a t i o n 8 sample pack (yes, 8, since while the $
$ delays occured, the sample pack for c r u e l i z a t i o n 7 $
$ was released and tracked with, and c r u e l i z a t i o n 7 $
$ voting pack was out the very same time as those results (in fact $
$ you might be reading the results from inside that voting pack). $
$ same goes for the c r u e l i z a t i o n 8 sample pack. you $
$ can read the exact timing/deadlines in about_08.txt file, but $
$ the general idea is that the beginning week will stand both for $
$ voting week for c r u e l i z a t i o n 7 and tracking week $
$ for c r u e l i z a t i o n 8 . i shouldn't say 'week', $
$ however, since there is a special rule - read about_08.txt $
$ thoroughly. if you have any questions anout this,don't hestitate $
$ to email or ask me about it on irc. $
$ now about the voting program. as you all probably know, it $
$ had a few bugs, mainly the one with the comment field (allowing $
$ only one line). also, later on it it proved to have problems $
$ loading votefiles with certain name/handle/irc/email variations. $
$ the comment bug is now fixed,hopefully for good (i had to recode $
$ the whole word wrap routine _twice_ to eliminate the bug..argh), $
$ the file saving/loading had been completely rewritten. also some $
$ people complained that the voting interface blinked - well right $
$ now i'm using virtual screen for everything so it should _never_ $
$ blink. of course there might be more bugs. you'll notice that $
$ the version had gone up to only 0.02b - since it is still far $
$ from complete. alot of plans are still to be implemented, $
$ although right now i don't get much time to work on it. anyways, $
$ i've made one mistake when fixing the program - i did not $
$ generate results _first_ , i've rewritten the bad code and then $
$ produced the results. therefore,due to the new file managing,the $
$ comments got lost, and since i wrote code 'over' , in order to $
$ retrive the comments i'd have to write my old routines again. $
$ since the comments were all 1-lines anyway, i've decided against $
$ it. don't you agree i would be better off releasing it faster? $
$ it's already more than 4000 lines of code, without screens ;D . $
$ but, if there will be a high demand for those comments, i will $
$ recode the old routines and re-release those results _with_ the $
$ comments. i don't think it is necessary, but let me know if you $
$ really need that - if i get enough requests i _will_ do it. one $
$ last thing - the neat numbers (.xx00) are not due to a program $
$ failure, but due to the fact that there were 20 voters :D . $
$ as for the voting itself, i think it is ok. those results are $
$ the first ones that were generated with the new 'anti-unfair' $
$ schemes (read about them in crueliz.nfo), and i think they serve $
$ their purpose. $

$ get on the c r u e l i z a t i o n mailing list if you $
$ want to receive sample packs and/or vote packs and/or any $
$ other info about c r u e l i z a t i o n by e-mail! $
$ $
$ to subscribe, send email to 'cruel@kosmic.com' with $
$ 'subscribe cruelization [tag] <name> <address>' in the subject $
$ field (or the message body). $
$ $
$ to unsubscribe, send email to 'cruel@kosmic.com' with $
$ 'unsubscribe cruelization [tag] <name> <address>' in the subject $
$ field (or the message body). $
$ $
$ the tag field is optional and can be left blank for a full $
$ subscribtion (information, sample packs, and voting packs), or $
$ it can be [info] for the information, [samples] for the sample $
$ packs and [votepaqs] for the voting packs. the tags can be $
$ multiplied, for example if you wish to subscribe to both the $
$ information and sample packs you should use the following: $
$ 'subscribe cruelization [info+samples] <name> <address>' . $
$ $
$ if an email returns with an error (if your account is no $
$ longer valid or your ISP was temporarily shut down), you will $
$ be removed from the list. just re-subscribe to get back on it. $

$ . I R C . $
$ $
$ i can be frequently found on '#trax' channel on the server $
$ 'irc.demoscene.org'. lately, that server had proven to be not $
$ very stable, so i might be on the server 'irc.together.net' or $
$ on 'neato.org' instead. if i have my xdcc set up there, which $
$ you can verify by doing a '/whois cc_xdcc' , you can also $
$ get the c r u e l i z a t i o n sample pack or voting pack $
$ by xdcc. do a '/ctcp cc_xdcc xdcc send #1' to receive a sample $
$ pack if it's a tracking week, or a voting pack if it's a voting $
$ week. $
