German thing
I only want to ask sceners from germany, why they release so much things in german language? Why they can't do it in English? In german, it will be only for german speak, but most of us can speak only english, so why they want to do things for all of us? Maybe there is still feeling in them, that they are something special and they don't want respect everyone. You know, who staretd two world wars and why!!! |

I don't see anything, I can't read the language?!
Could anyone please translate it into English please?!
I also would like to read such positive things from SAD! :)
Thanks in advance!
All the best!
Bye!

Whether I think it is weird that Germans wite German in their diskmags? NO. I noticed that when I was in German many do not speak English, not even in public transport facilities' work.
It is also a big country so I cannot blame them for it either.. But I guess I would not read a German mag, even though most is decipherable, I guess they just want it to stay a "German thing" and the same goes with party sites that are only availiable in German. If they do not feel like translating it and miss a lot of visitors, that feel a bit unwelcome because of the chosen language, it's they're own problem/choice.
In example: if the North Party site wasn't availiable in English, many foreigners I guess might not even concidered going right?
Even though offcoarse babelfish can translate those German party pages, I guess they might be "German-insiders-secret-conspiracy-type-parties" ;-)
Nafcom: before you react. The last sentence IS a joke :P |

Ah, finally I understand what this soft-speaking (but appearantly not soft-spoken) little boy wanted from me last weekend at the Primary Star party. Sad (because it is him I'm talking about) approached me on 2 different occasions, asking me if I was Tdj (I was), if I wrote some stuff in the forum here (all the time), if I was still active (Ben/Focus & me were working hard on a demo while he was asking this, so: yes), how long ago our my last production was (over 2 years) and since when I was active (1987, 16 years - some people at the party like Pixman weren't even born then!). He then walked away and Ben & me agreed that it was one of the lamest interviews ever but alas ..
Later Sander told me that Sad was complaining about me, asking people "who does he think he is?" (Tdj/Focus, at your service), and that I hadn't been active that long myself to have such a big mouth (..). The funny thing is, Sad was mad at me for slagging him down in this thread (which he deserved) but instead of really confronting me, he made an even bigger fool of himself. Because I had forgotten all about it, until I re-read some of the posts here.
Listen, I respect Padua - I was there when they first made a name for themselves (Horizon party 1990), I even almost joined them there but I think this shows the big difference between our groups: we would never have taken in such an idiot, no matter how talented he is (not that Sad is talented, but you catch my drift).
Now things got even better, because this week I received an email from Cactus/Oxyron who wanted to write something about the animosity between Nafcom/P.O.L. and me. Again something I didn't know about. I hardly know who he is but still I'm supposed to dislike him a lot.
Sad, Nafcom and all those other guys who may feel the same: please calm down. I haven't taken this scene (and its inhabitants) serious for years now. Last weekend's party was cool but the reason for me was that I could meet up with some old friends, like the Silicon Ltd. guys, Sonix/ex-WWE (I hadn't seen him for over 12 years) and ofcourse my Focus team-mates (there were 4 of us there - it's been a long time since that many of us were in the same room). Most of the people at the party were 'new-comers' and while I still think these people haven't got a clue what it was all about I respect them - I just don't feel they're in the same scene as I. I could write a whole story about that but I'll save it until a later time :)
ps: Sad, animosity means nafcom & me not like each other. |

Well, I was supposed not to write in here again, but I would like to want now for several reasons.
Interesting thing is: Why do so many people think that I dislike The Dark Judge a lot. I don't know him just like he doesn't know me too much.
I have never said that I dislike The Dark Judge and I refused to write anything about him when Cactus asked me to do so.
(And as I understood it in the recent post of The Dark Judge, he does not want to write anything negative about me, so thanks!).
I think even different than most may think. I respect a lot The Dark Judge for his words and his work and I appreciate it what he did and does and I even agree to some point with his opinion about Cactus.
So people, you won't ever read any negative words about The Dark Judge from my side. And it is nonsense to start the rumour that I dislike him, thank you!
@DCMP
I agree with you and yes, I understood your joke :D
So, anything else to say?!
All the best!
Bye!
Joerg
PS: It is nice to see that there are still some honest and clear thinking persons here like DCMP and The Dark Judge :)

TDJ write that opinion now, later would be too late. As far as your opinion about the current scene is concerned, it's hard to be part of something which is united itself and it's even harder to be part of something which is not united. Today scene is different from your younghood. The old friends are those who remember how it was when you were young. The new friends (if any) will never know you so good. As you said you respect those people, yeah, but it would be good if you sincerely kicked their (our) ass and told us what you think about people who you meet etc. What I really don't like on this newcomer-oldcomer problematics is the fact of no-way-out. But I believe there must be some way how to make this scene cooler place again ;-). And as far as SAD is concerned, seems like he tried hard, to use his english. Take that positively. He tried to communicate with you ;-). Yeah that's quite unfortunate that he jumps into fast conclusions, but well young people do... all the time. ;-) You were young too give him chance, old fart! ;-)
And hey, animosity with Nafcom? ;-) Hahhaah.. that sounds familiar. |

I think this is a bad sentence. I don't have anything against anybody, and neither you ot TDJ.
Better let us be friendly to each other

That is not bad sentence ;-). There is a good saying for this. I can forgive, but I never forget... Anyway yeah everything is allright. And hey what is between you and TDJ anyway? ;-)) (okay, just joking ;-)
TDJ: what cool? |

Roman, cool was in response to Nafcom's response (..). I hadn't read your reply yet, but I'll think it over. I had some rather interesting discussions (with Drake/Anubis for example) which gave me some more insight .. |
