+ SOME LAMERS LATER!===========================================================================
dRAGONcROW: Any news aboot police movements from Hautataipale side?
dArK sTuFfEr: Nuffin'...
WoRLD HeR0: Nope...
dRAGONcROW: So it might've been enough for them to follow the scent to the junior highschool on Saturday and then visit Öökkölä later in the evening.
mR.mEgAsTuFf: I'm sure that fuckin' WaRe FuCKeR revealed that Öökkölä... can't trust someone like that!
dRAGONcROW: Well, nevertheless we're safe now...
mINDeAGLE: I sense that we are not for sure. There was a police checkpoint last night between the town and Vääräpää.
dRAGONcROW: Yeah, it's anyway better if mR.mEgAsTuFf won't move anywhere from this house, as the cops may still be searchin' today.
mR.mEgAsTuFf: Yeah...
pHASERhAWK: It's also a good idea for other as well to take as unnoticeable routes to the house, as we've already done...
pHASERhAWK: But where did we finish talkin' yesterday?
dArK sTuFfEr: Chiptunes...
pHASERhAWK: Oh, right.
mR.mEgAsTuFf: I still fink chiptunes are total vanity and that CWU won't start makin' them no matter how much dArK sTuFfEr wants it...
mR.mEgAsTuFf: I think his faithful mod covers of heavy metal songs are a fuckin' tuffer show of skill.
dArK sTuFfEr: Gosh! What should I say to convince ye...
mINDeAGLE: What is your deepest original reason for making computer music?
dArK sTuFfEr: Maybe that I hain't gotten my parents buy me an electric guitar.
dArK sTuFfEr: And I dunno really how to find any bandmates from Lietevesi either, especially for playin' some true black metal...
pHASERhAWK: If you had to choose between mods and a band, which one would you choose?
dArK sTuFfEr: The band of course...
pHASERhAWK: For what?
dArK sTuFfEr: 'Cause there's so much more skill involved when ye hafta play everythang, like, in realtime.
dArK sTuFfEr: I think it's a bit of deception when ye just put the notes in the table with no hurry and the computer will then play it.
mINDeAGLE: So, it is important for you to demonstrate skill. Why?
dArK sTuFfEr: Respect, for the fuck's sake!
mINDeAGLE: So, you have choosen metal covers and chiptunes because you get the greatest respect by showing your skill with them?
mR.mEgAsTuFf: There ain't no skills needed for a few patterns of blerps...
dArK sTuFfEr: Well, I mean, there's the needed skill in chiptunes to get a good song to as small space as possible...
dArK sTuFfEr: And ye don't hafta put them arpeggio blerps in even if it were of small size!
dArK sTuFfEr: And in metal covers, on the other hand, the folks respect when they know the original song they already like and then can compare as to how correctly it repeats...
mR.mEgAsTuFf: Show me a single good chiptune.
WoRLD HeR0: At least XTD has a lot of good chips without any blerps at all... at least that "economy" series...
dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, and then there's that twenty-kilo metal song from Dezecrator, INTROFRO.MOD...
dRAGONcROW: It's AMY:mod.introfronty!!!
dArK sTuFfEr: Oh, yeah, right, mod.introfronty, fuckin' retarded PC shorty filenames...
dArK sTuFfEr: But that's as far as from that there blerpy style as ye can get!
mR.mEgAsTuFf: Oh, so I guess I hafta check it out. But for now I wouldn't release any chips under the CWU label.
mINDeAGLE: But what if you knew that realism is dying?
mR.mEgAsTuFf: Eh?
mINDeAGLE: Let us assume that, in addition to the mod covers, there would be the original songs available in BBSes, in not much larger sizes.
mINDeAGLE: Do you think anyone would then listen to the mod covers anymore?
dArK sTuFfEr: Did I now get it all wrong, but d'ye mean that there would be the whole fuckin' song as one sample???
mINDeAGLE: Yes.
dArK sTuFfEr: The fella must fuckin' be SO GODDAMN LAME who releases a song that's just the whole original song as a single sample and nuffin' else!!!
dArK sTuFfEr: Well, they'd actually hafta split it up because of the 64-kilo size limit, but anyway... it'd take up a damn lot of space too!
pHASERhAWK: The samples are unpacked in mods, but there are also formats where the sample data is compressed very tightly. You could even get on a floppy in a listenable quality -
WoRLD HeR0: Yeah, there's at least MPEG audio...
dArK sTuFfEr: Well, right then, if there were sump'n like that for real, then I guess quite many for skip downloadin' the mod versions.
mINDeAGLE: This is why realism is dying. It requires skill to imitate reality within tight limits, but the appreciation for this skill shall fade out with the limits.
dRAGONcROW: The same already happened with graphics.
dRAGONcROW: It used to be hard currency to know how to make good pixel copies of some Boris Vallejo posters.
dRAGONcROW: But then came AGA and color scanners, and nobody looks at any hand-pixelled versions anymaw, even if they had a bit better quality than the scans...
dArK sTuFfEr: Yeah, so this would be a good reason for us to release them there chips as well.
mR.mEgAsTuFf: Okay, let's consider it then...
mR.mEgAsTuFf: If ya actually get good songs to some chiptune size class for real, then let's release some chipdisk some day, or chipcolly if we can't get to make da interface for it...
mR.mEgAsTuFf: But THOSE ARPEGGIO BLERPS ARE STILL PROHIBITED!!! Ya can get that kinda sound even outta C-64, and I fink ya must get da kinda sound outta modern computers what they can do.
dArK sTuFfEr: Right then, agreed, no arpeggio blerps.
mINDeAGLE: I now have a bad feeling that there is something happening outside...
pHASERhAWK: Let's see...
pHASERhAWK: Not seeing nuffin' there...
pHASERhAWK: No, bloody hell!
dArK sTuFfEr: THERE'S A COP VAN TURNING THIS WAY!!!
dRAGONcROW: EVERBODY TO THE BASEMENT, NOW!!! Shuttin' down the Amiga...
pHASERhAWK: Follow me.
BLIM BLOM!
PATE: OPEN UP, IT'S THEM COPS HERE!!!
dRAGONcROW: (I hope they dinna notice any light or movement inside here... luckily Janne's room's window is on the backside...)
mR.mEgAsTuFf: (Also good that we didn't put any lamps on.)
PATE: WE KNOW THAT THERE BE FOLKS THERE! OPEN UP OR WE'RE GONNA COME BY FORCE!
dRAGONcROW: (It's okay for me if they do come by force.)
WoRLD HeR0: (Wonder how they found here?)
pHASERhAWK: (Well, maybe they've been sneaking at you or something...)
mR.mEgAsTuFf: (Fortunately I took all my photos with me, so they don't have anything they'd recognize me from...)
CRASH!
dRAGONcROW: (They fuckin' broke the door!)
PATE: What way?
Wornas-Heikki: Wait for some... the rod leadeth leftwards.
dRAGONcROW: (Now it's clear how they found here! They've got Vornas-Heikki with them!)
PATE: Behind this door, right?
Wornas-Heikki: Behind there, for good. The rod isna liar!
PATE: In the basement, right...
PATE: COME UP FROM THERE NOW! WE KNOW THAT Y'ALL BE THERE!
mINDeAGLE: I would see -
mR.mEgAsTuFf: (Shut up!!!)
dRAGONcROW: We don't have any chances for real anymaw, it's all the same to go up.
mR.mEgAsTuFf: Let's fuckin' fight back, or run away!!! Are ya some goddamn sissies!?
mINDeAGLE: It's not worth a fight. The police would eventually found us anyway with the help of Vornas-Heikki.
PATE: Right, that's what I was reckonin' too. Come up from there now, so we don't hafta bring y'all with handcuffs!
mR.mEgAsTuFf: (Stuffie ja Workie, follow me! Escape thru da backdoor!)
mINDeAGLE: It seems this crew is making all the mistakes as us, in the hard way.
...
mR.mEgAsTuFf: Fuck! Now they noticed us and started to follow! Disperse!
dArK sTuFfEr: Back to the woods dammit! They're comin' with their van from the other way!!
PEKKA: Got ye there!
mR.mEgAsTuFf: FUCKIN' COP FAGGOT SHIT DAMMIT!!!
...
PATE: I'm sorry on the behalf for all Lietevesi cops that the good mister Sage had to wait...
Wornas-Heikki: It's nothing. Been waitin' them hundred years already.
PATE: Is it good with ye now, Heikki?
Wornas-Heikki: Good for sitting for some while, yes...
PATE: I'm now gonna bring them rascals up here.. but don't put yer rod away yet, 'cause we may still need it.
Wornas-Heikki: The rod's still in a good charge, so merely ask me if thou needest to, and the rod shalt answer.
PATE: Right...
PATE: All right then, who of y'all is that there Tossavainen boy?
dArK sTuFfEr: I am.
PEKKA: All right then, let's bring him to the van...
PATE: Don't be so quick yet!
PATE: We've gotta make sure that we're takin' the right fella!
PATE: Guess Pirinen wouldna reckon' good if a wrong house's boy dropped outta the van... we might stay without the rewards and benefits.
PEKKA: Oh, right then, we've gotta be certain.
PATE: It might be easiest to just bring everbody for mister Sage to see, and then his rod would tell who's the right one.
PATE: But I'd still wanna hear all of these boys, 'cause ye never know what they've been plannin'.
PEKKA: It'd be the easiest to hear them in the vn...
PATE: All right then, let's first bring them to the sage and then to the back on the van to wait for questioning.
PEKKA: Allrighty.
PATE: Y'all should then come quietly and don't push back a single inch!
PATE: Or else we're gonna fine yer parents and y'all would also get some records that may worsen things up later in life...
PEKKA: Would we take this one first, 'cause he was the first to confess?
PATE: Is this the right boy, Heikki?
dArK sTuFfEr: I am, believe it already!
Wornas-Heikki: Wait for some... it looketh not like it! Might he have any Lietevesi blood in his veins at all?
dArK sTuFfEr: How d'ye see that???
Wornas-Heikki: Wouldna even need the rod to see it; Southern folks' power floweth so strongly from him.
PATE: Let's then get to the van.
...
PATE: What aboot this one here?
Wornas-Heikki: Art thou one of them Koljonen's boys?
mINDeAGLE: Yes, I am.
Wornas-Heikki: I heard that Lauri died from ye Koljonens...
mINDeAGLE: He is dead, right, he already died twenty years ago.
Wornas-Heikki: Oh, yes, now I recall! It's hard for an olde man like me to keep all the news in mind.
PATE: But have ye already asked the rod too?
Wornas-Heikki: Needless to ask the rod, as the power of the Koljonens is so strongly in him.
...
PATE: What aboot this one here?
WoRLD HeR0: I can tell you right away that -
PATE: Shut up!
Wornas-Heikki: I shall ask the rod to be sure...
Wornas-Heikki: He isna that one, but might be of the family. Might be one of his cousins.
PATE: Would we then get that dodger who tawks in Helsinki dialect.
PAVE: Okay...
...
PATE: What aboot this one here?
mR.mEgAsTuFf: GET YAR HANDS OUTTA ME DAMMIT!!! WE AIN'T WHO YAR LOOKIN' FAR!!! FUCKIN' LOONIES, BELIEVIN' THAT KINDA WITCHIN'-ROD SHIT!!!
Wornas-Heikki: This one he is. The rod was leadin' towards him all the time.
PATE: It looks very clear to us now. That was the one best fittin' the markers.
PEKKA: Would we still question the rest of them too?
PATE: Of course. It's not enough nowadays to write in the documents that the rod had said this and that...
mR.mEgAsTuFf: FUCKIN' SCUMPIG FAGGOTS!!! LEAVE ME OUTTA THESE TORTURE CHAINS!!!
