JTS News Flash: Just The Slags!
Read on to see why Skill is lame and is the LAMER behind JTF charts.

control your city! Recreate your version of the world's greatest cities

destroy it.  For more challenges, negotiate and barter with neighboring
cities to strengthen your metropolis.                                      .

SimCity 3000, the city is yours thanks to ORiGiN.

. Release Notes:
It seems there was a BETA version of this game floating about the net
. a while ago. Well we would like to point out that this version of Sim
City 3000 is NOT, we repeat NOT that version. This is the FINAL version.   .
: You can confirm this by calling Maxis and asking them if the QA team for
: the game are still testing it. The answer will be "NO". This is becuase as :
our EA source claims, that all the QA people were sacked the day the game
went FINAL GOLD. This is the FINAL version of the game. Any differences    .
you may encounter with any other version will be due to duplicating        :
pressing process. There will be no GAMEPLAY differences. This is the       :
FINAL SALES version, learn to handle it.

ENDUSER: Oh no OGN released a game over the limit!
A: No we didn't.
ENDUSER: But its over the Faction 50 * 2.88MB disc limit?
A: Yes, but ORiGiN is not part of the Fucktion and does not have to adhere
to any lamo rules.
ENDUSER: But will it not be counted as a legit release?
A: We are not here to please fucktion people, we are here to release.
If people do not want this game then it is upto them, they do not have
to take it. We shall not tell people what they can and cannot have on
their sites unlike the fucktion who try to dictate to the scene.
ENDUSER: But you said you would keep to the 50 file limit did you not?
A: Yes we did back then, but as we have stated we are not part of the
fucktion and thus can change policy at anytime without having to
consult two other lamers. Also the fucktion BREAK their rules anyway
like with BREAKS such as Half-Life BETAS and shit.
ENDUSER: This is true, but we expect more from ORiGiN.
A: And you shall get more QUALITY releases from ORiGiN. Thats for sure.
In short if you do not want a 50+ disc major then thats upto you.
We have not tried to hide the fact that its over 50 files, we stated it
all above. Most of the time we shall try and keep to OUR old limit.
But we have never been into RAPING games as that would be a > SIN <
So, if it trickles over the 50 files now and again and its a major
ORiGiN will do it for you people out there who love great games :)
Remember OGN is not part of the DYSFUNCTIONALS so we do not have to
abide by their lameass REDNECK SKILLESS rules. And if you do not like
it you can go play some horsy game or your Half-Life beta breaks :P
ENDUSER: Oh I see, only asking you know, sorry to bother you, NO CARRIER.
A: Nuff said, now go play.

JTS News:
Yes my friends, its SLAGGING time! And this releases slag meat is SKILL
dictator leader of CLASS and the person who publishes Just The Facts.
SKILL, not content with his crew CLASS ruling the horsy game releasing
scene. Has decided to use his idea JTF as a propaganda machine for
promoting his group. This would not be so, bad. Except he does not put
his name on the charts and claims that they are independent and
objective. So, how do we know he does the charts? Well even his own
group members say so! The code was even coded by a CLS member ATM for
SKILL. As he cannot code himself (LAMER). SKILL is the lamer behind
JTF.

Now let us examine the propaganda he uses to make his group number #1
month after month in JTF. Last month in December 98 Origin released the
most awaited major games and many other releases. Yet we finished
second by some way! We was very surprised by this so, we decided to
look at how these charts were calculated to see if it all added up.
First of all we were surprised to see the scores given for the games
we released.
For example, Football Masters 99 got 4.5 points, where as Player
Manager 98-99 a similar game got only 4.0 points. Maybe because FM99
is a superior game? No, actually itÆs inferior. A better score would
be FM99 4.0 points and PM98/99 5.0 points. But then what would Skill
know about games from LIMEY land. ItÆs so long since he had any! We
also thought the score for Magic and Mayhem was a bit stingy as well,
it deserves at least 8.0 points. And Starsiege: Tribes is of course
a major and should have got 7.5 points at least if not more! The
inaccuracies within Skills bullshit confounded us more, when he
managed to forget all about our Thief trainer that we did. This shows
the lack of care for other groups work. Also the biggest thing that we
laughed at was his minus points for the Gangsters Trainer fix. Well,
this makes us laugh as many trainers get released these days that do
not work correctly if at all and at least we bothered to re-release
it. But thatÆs not why we laugh. We laugh because it BREAKS his own
rules. As it clearly states points will be deducted for GAME releases,
not trainers. In other words he cannot keep to his own bullshit.
No changes there from SKILL gimp then. But the biggest surprise was
our Pinky & The Brain release. We had called the company that made
this game and they said themselves that it was Adultware. So, this
is obviously a piss-poor attempt at fixing the points so CLS can win.
As itÆs the only way they could that month. His fixing even by his own
fucked up rules lost Origin at least 9 points if not more that month.
Which would have made Origin the top group for that month, by his own
fucked up rules of course.

Now let us examine the same treatment he applies to his group CLS.
Biggest surprise was the score for War of the Worlds it got 8.5 points.
Apparently according to SKILL this is same as our Thief which was
voted Innovative Game of the Year 1998 by the TRG readership
(Review scores which he also publishes). Well we have to say that this
game is nowhere near as good as Thief, itÆs not even in the same
ballpark. We would give it the same score as our Rival Realms a
similar game which got 7.0 points and thatÆs being fucking generous.
Next is Snowmobile Racing a game with only 4 levels, thus we give it
one point for each level, unlike his whopping 5 points. The next joke
is Top Gun: Hornet's Nest also from CLS with 8 points. Well this game
is not regarded as major flight sim by anyone except SKILL. Where as
our Ultra Fighters got 7 points, we shall give it the same. In the
past when ORIGIN has released Hunting games SKILL has given them only
3 points, but when CLS released Trophy Buck guess what? Yes thatÆs
correct 5.5 points. Well now that we know hunting games are getting
full points we decided to release one this month and we expect full
points like Trophy Buck got for our NFK release =]. Not to mention
Carnivores also a hunting game from CLS got a 6 MASSIVE points. And
then we come to Luftwaffe Commander another flight sim getting 8
points, I think we shall have to reduce that to the usual 7 points
please :P.

But the biggest lame fuck up from REDNECK SKILL is giving CLS points
for their RECOIL trainer and then stating PDMs admission that its
BETA. Surly this trainer cannot count as itÆs for the beta version?
As we can see it does. Why is this a fuck up? Well if fixes for
trainers get minus points then a re-release for the RECOIL trainer
will have to occur for the FINAL version, thus CLS have lost points
for this lame attitude by SKILL GIMP. As they say what goes around
comes around.  But OGN will not be as mean as we believe mistakes
happen so, in our view its no points gained and no points lost!
Thus CLS would have had 5 less points as a result.

The scores originally presented by SKILLESS came too:
CLASS         +70.5
ORIGIN        +65.5
PARADIGM      +53.5

With adjusted sensible scores and a -20 points for CLS because
of Skills CHEATING lameness at trying to make CLS #1 every month
because heÆs a leader, the score now comes to a sensible:
ORIGIN         +74.5
PARADIGM       +53.5
CLASS          +45.5

Also I am sure if PDM and RZR checked their releases over the
month/year they would find SKILL LAMER has fucked them on a regular
bases. Now some may say this is sour grapes by OGN, well its not.
And it seems we are not the only ones who think his charts are
REDNECK crap. Because even his own friends in CLS do not rate his
poor excuse for charts, PROZAC has stated he wants to start his own
charts. At least he has the guts to put his name on them!

There will be the usual crap in JTF next month about how SKILL
lamer is not the guy and rubbish like "oh no mon ami it is not
poor Mr Skill" and so on. But it is a known fact in the scene that
he publishes that piece of trash.

JTF = SKILL = LAME REDNECK FUCK.

Just The Facts? More like, Just The F00L!
