Ohmyghod... Christallmighty... Why the hell isn't there a warning
on these streams? That damn footage almost gave me another heart
attack...

Does that happen alot? I mean, how many of you have seen your
friends or comrades die through cyber-cams? That feed was nausiatingly
macabre... For the sake of an old man's heart: Next time put a warning
on a Vid stream before you force it into his head.

stuff
get dumped here often?? Hell yes. Mostly it's succesful runs from guys who
want to show off, but we get the occasional nasty too. Two that spring to
mind're when Brimstone hired Rumormonger to film how he murdered this poor
sap Marksansomething by drowning him in an open sewer, and again when
some nasty fragger cut off Rumormonger's thumbs and gouged his eyes out,
then posted the take from Rm's own security cameras.

That one cut off before the nasty stuff began, but I'm sure ole RM has the
rest on storage somewhere - Ask him, I'm sure he'll be more than willing to
sell it to you. He's that kind of guy.

Hmmm... Now that I think of it, whatever happened to Brimstone?]<<<<<

By the way, since I see all you fellas are into Azzie bloodsports inna
big way, I got some offers going - Vids of the best Azzie games, the kind
don't get shown on sattelite - Elite combat, Chainsaws of glory, etc...

I can also get some footage of ritual sacrifices, and other cool stuff.

Oh, yeah, I forgot: The icing on the cake - I got a clip from an azzie
deathgame where one of the contestants escaped. And you know how rare
that is. Seems he was rescued by some kinda free spirit that just
appeared, splattered the local champ and lit off. Real cool stuff.]<<<<<

Gee, maybe he did, maybe he didn't.

In any case, that is the pearl of my collection - totally unique. I ain't
trading it just for anything, see.

As for yer vid, from what I've heard it's no big deal - I mean, I'd be
interested in buying, sure, but not trading it for my prize.

So, what say 500 =Y= for master copy and exclusive sale rights

(That last bit means I send some pals over to break your legs if you sell it
ta someone else behind my back, ok?)]<<<<<

The rest comes after you send me the vid. Make sure it's an encrypted

different angles as you can - Gonna have to do some hefty editing and digital
