It just seems to happen over and over again. What am I talking about?
|
|
I'm reffering to the constant happenings of "Max". You remember Max. The one
|
|
that was forever imortalized in TLS-5. Well, it just seems that Max cannot
|
|
stay out of the spotlight for to long of a time. I don't quite know what it
|
|
is. Maybe it is an undying need for attention, or maybe he just like's being
|
|
yelled at. I don't know.. Maybe I should explain.
|
|
There are a few main characters in this story. They are: Blade,
|
|
Chaz, Archangel, Max, Kitten, Skyewalker, Hegz and a few other stand ins.
|
|
All of these people mentioned above were pretty good friends at one time, it's
|
|
just a shame that because of one person, friendships have to be lost and
|
|
bruised.
|
|
First up, we have miscellenious things that Max has done. There was
|
|
the one incident that I can remember pretty clearly. It was a conversation
|
|
that I had with Max. It went something like this:
|
|
|
|
Blade: Im getting sick of Tomcats Board. It always locks up.
|
|
Max: When? When you do the area list for the message bases?
|
|
Blade: Yeah, how'd you know?
|
|
Max: Because I installed it. It will crash whenever someone does it.
|
|
I can crash his board whenever I want to.
|
|
|
|
I dont know what Max's motive for doing this was. All I can think of
|
|
is that he wanted a sense of power over everyone else. I don't know why, he
|
|
was already a SysOp on that board.
|
|
Second, we have a little incident on the Alternate Fantasy BBS. This
|
|
BBS was crashed a few months ago by none other than Max. Max has developed
|
|
a nice little virus called "The Adipose Smasher". Max logged onto the BBS
|
|
under a fake name "Desert Windz" who just happens to be a real person. He
|
|
used all of this persons real infornmation, and crashed the board frequently
|
|
using "Com1". One night, Max, Skyewalker and myself were hanging out when
|
|
Max said "I want to see what the Adipose Smasher can do.". So, he called up
|
|
The Alternate Fantasy and logged on under his fake account. He then uploaded
|
|
the virus and called it a "Ansi Driver". A few days later, it seems that the
|
|
Alternate Fantasy BBS went down due to major hard drive failure. I wonder why.
|
|
|
|
Besides these little things, there are some personal matters that were
|
|
brought against me. In October of 1991, Max and I were hanging out and he told
|
|
me that he had slept with "Jane". He went into detail on what he did with
|
|
Jane that night. I took it all with a grain of salt and didn't really think
|
|
about it anymore. Then, a few moths later, Max, Archangel and Myself were
|
|
sitting around playing cards when the topic of sex came up. We all shared
|
|
stories, and then I said "Hey Max, did you ever tell Archangel about Jane?".
|
|
Archangel knows this girl Jane, he has known her for quite some time now. He
|
|
was also quite shocked to here what Max did with Jane. Both Archangel and me
|
|
lost some respect for Jane. Later, we told Archangel's brother Chaz about the
|
|
incident. Chaz's only words were: "Does Jane know that this happend?". Chaz
|
|
knows Jane better then anyone else and said that there was no way whatsoever
|
|
that she did what Max said she did. So, we did the only logical thing. We asked
|
|
Jane about it. When asked, Jane got very upset and called Max a liar. Now, we
|
|
have 2 stories. Max says it happend, and Jane is upset and doesent have a clue.
|
|
So, we went back to Max again. The conversation went like this:
|
|
|
|
Blade: Jane says it never happend.
|
|
Archangel: Max, friendship isnt based on how many girls you sleep with.
|
|
Dont try to impress us by lying.
|
|
Max: Ok.. I didnt sleep with her, but I will deny that I ever told you that
|
|
I did.
|
|
Archangel: What?
|
|
Max: I will deny to Jane that I ever said anything. I'll tell her that you made
|
|
it all up.
|
|
Blade: Well, then what did really happen?
|
|
Max: I just layed on my bed with her and put my hand up her shirt. I
|
|
exagerated a bit.
|
|
Blade: A bit? You went from feeling her up to sleeping with her? And you call
|
|
that "A bit"?
|
|
Max: Sorry.. Thats the truth.
|
|
|
|
So, we went back to Jane again to ask her about this. Once again, she
|
|
denied it all, and denied that she ever even kissed Max. We let it all drop
|
|
at this point, because Chaz, Archangel and Myself were starting to get sick
|
|
of this. It went unheard of untill about 2 weeks later. While on the phone
|
|
with Max, Jane and Max got into a fight (Jane was with us). Max then said:
|
|
"Well, Archangel knows the real reason why I said I slept with you.". I asked
|
|
Max what the real reason was. He said that he couldnt tell me because it would
|
|
hurt my feelings. I then grabbed Archangel and dragged him out in the hall:
|
|
|
|
Blade: What the hell is going on?
|
|
Archangel: I told Max that I wouldnt tell you.
|
|
Blade: You what!? I thought you were my friend!
|
|
Archangel: I promised him before he told me. If I would have known that he
|
|
was going to say that it involved you, I would have never promised
|
|
it.
|
|
Blade: I consider you my best friend. Are you going to tell me, or am I going
|
|
to have to put your head through that wall.
|
|
Archangel: I can't tell you.. Please dont test my friendship like this.
|
|
|
|
Once Archangel said that, I put it all together. You see, when Max
|
|
first told me about this incident with Jane, we were just comming off a fight.
|
|
He told me that he slept with Jane for one reason, just to see if he could
|
|
trust me. He figured that if no one else knew, then that means I said nothing,
|
|
but if other people found out, then I couldnt be trusted. Well, Max didn't
|
|
think about feelings that might have been hurt from this whole episode. It
|
|
turned out that the impact of the whole thing went something like this:
|
|
|
|
I was pissed off at Chaz and Archangel because they didnt tell me about this
|
|
when they knew it was going on. I was hurt because to me, it looked like my
|
|
2 closest friends kept a secret from me. Later, I came to realize that they
|
|
did make a promise, and I can respect that. Besides, atleast now I know that
|
|
I can trust them with my secrets.
|
|
We all lost respect for Jane while this whole thing was going on. Max told
|
|
us the she was "Easy" and that they slept with each other on the spur of the
|
|
moment. After finding out the truth, all feelings changed, and we now know
|
|
that Jane is still sweet and inocent <G>
|
|
Everyone came down on Max. We tried to explain to him "What if Blade would
|
|
have said something and a rumor got started?" The only response, which he
|
|
stood behind, was "I would have told everyone that Blade was lying, and they
|
|
would all believe me then.".. Yeah Max.. Just like everyone believed you
|
|
in the incidents of the Feds and Kitten.
|
|
|
|
Another thing, this one struck me as quite funny. I now found out
|
|
(today infact), that at one time, Max actually thought that I was gay. Let me
|
|
explain this story also. I have a psychology course at Ocean County college.
|
|
My psychology teacher one day told the class that the average male has
|
|
atleast 10 homosexual thoughts per day. This made me laugh for the rest of the
|
|
day. I can't remeber even having one homosexual thought in my lifetime!!
|
|
Anyways.. I am a very sarcastic person, so I joked around with it with a close
|
|
friend of mine "Rob". Me and Rob would hang out, and out of the blue say
|
|
things like "Hey.. Those jeans look mighty good on ya! Opps.. Where'd that
|
|
come from? Must have been one of those damn homosexual thoughts.". We took it
|
|
as light humor, and still joke around today. Well, i considered Max a pretty
|
|
good friend, and I told him the joke. He laughed about it and thought that it
|
|
was pretty funny. He then asked me what I meant so I said:
|
|
|
|
Blade: Ok.. Ill give ya an example.. Max.. I love you! (Saying it
|
|
sarcastically).
|
|
Max: What?
|
|
Blade: Opps! One of those freaking homosexual thoughts that pop up every now
|
|
and then!
|
|
Max: Oh.. haha..
|
|
|
|
Well, I considered it a joke.. But, I guess Max's mind wandered. So,
|
|
what did he do? Anything that any intelligent person would do! Spread it
|
|
around! So, he went to Hegz.. he asked Hegz if he thought that I was gay.
|
|
Hegz basically said that he didnt give a damn and asked why. Max then told
|
|
him that I said that I loved him.. Max wanted to know if I wanted him. Hegz
|
|
basically laughed and told him to get the hell outta here. Hegz told me about
|
|
this today, and I got a kick out of it.. So did Hegz.. Whats the moral of this
|
|
story? Well, its amazing how *I* get blamed for only telling half of a story.
|
|
Hey Max. Where did the part about my Psychology class go? Hegz never heard
|
|
about that one.
|
|
|
|
There is also the matter of a little something that happend over at
|
|
the Skyline BBS. Max was a SysOp there. Max was infactuated (And still is)
|
|
with the SysOp and user Kitten Kaboodle. Well, Kitten has totally blown Max
|
|
off, and this hurt Max's feelings. And to top it off, Skyewalker (The SysOp
|
|
of Skyline BBS) started talking to Kitten a lot. Max got very jealous and
|
|
felt that they were flirting behind his back, so, one day while visting
|
|
his best friend Skyewalker, he decided to do a little hex editting on
|
|
TeleGard. Max trapped all of Kittens logons and made it that the system
|
|
never reported it. You see, in TeleGard, when user is being trapped, a
|
|
little -TRAP- blinks in the corner, and it says "Trapping user to file".
|
|
Well, Max took all that out and made it look normal. He did all this
|
|
behind Skyewalkers back (His supposed best friend). Well, I let Skyewalker
|
|
in on this secret about a week ago. Needless to say, Max tried to lie his
|
|
way out of another situtation. Also needless to say, Max no longer has
|
|
SysOps access on Skyline.
|
|
So, now Max is locked out of Xforce, and Cats Cradle. He is no longer
|
|
a SysOp on Skyline, and to the best of my knowledge is not really welcome
|
|
at the Syndicate. What a way to go. Straight down.
|
|
Still, the war continues over on the Skyline. There is even a message
|
|
base set aside for yelling at each other. When will it all stop? I don't
|
|
know. I wish it would end soon. I also wish that people would see that Max
|
|
is not the God that he claims to be. But, I doubt that day will ever come.

Well, to all those who know what Im talking about, thanks for your
|
|
inspiration and for standing behind me. Without you guys, I would have
|
|
probably dropped out of the BBS world forever.
|
|
And special thanks to Chaz and Archy. Without you two, I would have
|
|
probably ended up just killing myself..
