Well, it seems that this file will be fitting for the local area. This is not a H/P file, but intended for the users local to this area. I have noticed many people advancing themselves to the rank of "Derf 'o da week" INCLUDING myself. Most of the time, this is done all out of fun, but for the newcomers to the BBS world "derf 'o da week" is a strange and unfamiliar concept to grasp. Also, the new people do not know who the former "Derfs" are/were. This file will basically be a compilation of "Derfs" and what they did to achieve this level of idiocy. Lets start out with a BASIC explantion of the term "Derf". The involved story is too long and has been repeated too many times, for me to waste space telling it....AGAIN. Basically, to become a derf, one must do something (or several things) that are beyond stupidity or ignorance. Because you are new, does not automatically qualify you as a DERF, although you may be looked upon as one by a few who are not very patient with new people. Most of the time DERF refers to one who "Just didn't think". It is a term used to kid someone when they say something truly moronic (all eventually do). But to achieve the level of "Derf o' da week" takes a SPECIAL kind of stupid. Sometimes DODW (derf o' da week) is just a joke, and sometimes it is a sort of BLACKLIST. Depends of what the derf has done to become DODW. Well, lets start off EARLY in 1992....we will start the year 'o derfs off right. January 1st - Massimo Yezzi aka. Blackstar Well, Massimo was promoted to Derf o' da week for the following reasons. 1) Assumes because of a friends (away on vacation) BBS goes down, he decides to take the FEDWATCH '91 Rumors to the fullest extent by telling all he knows that The Flight Line BBS has been raided by the FEDS and the sysop has "Turned States Evidence" and has turned all the locals in. Of course that wasn't true, but that's the story. 2) When his "Girlfriend" starts playing mindgames with him, he blames all of his friends (other BBS Users) for it, saying they have "Stabbed him in the back" Eventually everything that he did, he blamed on her, and she did admit to playing with his head, but he still deserves derfhood for blaming us in the first place. 3) Generally being an idiot in general. Derf Rating - **** January 7th - Blade Runner aka. Ulycees 1) Defending Massimo, Pissing the decent people off and abandoning all reason to defend his "Friend" 2) Then, kissing ass to get back in with the "Decent" crowd. Derf Rating - ** Well, things were quiet for a while until June 17th - Powerslave (Yes me) 1) For going all out NUTS on someone using a fake account. Yes, I flipped my lid as I usually do, and yes, I made a TOTAL ass of myself. 2) For doing the same thing AGAIN to the SAME person using another FAKE account as a Racist. Yeah, I did it again. Silly me. Derf Rating - Make your own decision. August 21st - George Walpen aka. Zac 1) First, for getting pissed because someone tried modem sex with one of his daughters. You will see what I mean in a second. 2) For doing the same thing, to other young women, that he got so pissed at in the beginning. Yeah, he tried phone and modem sex with at least 3 other young females. 3) Didn't realize anyone was on to him. A few people decided to capture some of his chats. He denied them all to hell, but when I brought him into chat, he admitted it all (assuming I wasn't capturing his confession.) Well, I did. Derf Rating - *** September 14th - Dennis Foley aka. XCaliber, MadamX, and more. 1) For doing the same as Zac (number 2 above). 2) For being TOTALLY illiterate on all other BBSs and for using MORONIC terms like "succoc" for Subroc, and other stupid sentences like "slav learn to typ e. and while you at it get m yslippers". I still havent figured that one out yet. 3) For telling everyone he will kick their ass until they take him up on his offer to "play". Then he backs out. And has the gaul to call US immature. I'm not the most mature minded person, but I am far from Mr. Foley. 4) Using his Wife's account, and announcing it to the entire board. Assuming he was not on thin ice to begin with. 5) For telling the "Old Time BBS users" they don't know what a real BBS is like. Most of the people he said this to have from 4 to 11 years experience calling BBS's. Derf Rating - ***** Yes, a perfect Derf...5 stars even. September 19th - Blade Runner aka. Ulycees Yea, he made it again. 1) Being working, and not being able to afford $5 a month access fee for a 16 line Chat system, he takes an ANSI contest (with free access as prizes) and rips several 1.5 year old Ansi screen made by an ansi expert (Plasma) and changes it to say he made it. 2) He then tells all to vote for him since he refuses to pay for a subscription. Yeah, the screen was good, but it wasn't his to begin with. 3) Then bitches because the people that saw the screens get pissed about it. He then calls all of these people backstabbers (After he Loves Massimo, He Hates Massimo, He loves Mass again, He hates him again, and right about now he loves him again.) Well, he didn't win 1st prize. He's lucky they counted to begin with. Derf Rating this time - ** Entire Month of September - Angel Baby aka. Derfs Wife 1) Yes, the wife of the original derf has entered the ranks of her beloved hubby. She gets this for being ALL AROUND IGNORANT. Get the TANJ files to learn more about it. I don't wanna go into it here. It will waste so much space. Derf Rating - **** =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= So, now some of you know what "Derf o' da week" actually is. Of course some of the people above are not BAD people. That is the reason I put the events leading into their derfhood in here. You make you own decision. There are a list of many others, but these are the top of the derf list. Poseidon is one of the DERFS not mentioned here, and a few others have been either left out because of boredom or they have been forgotten. Remember, this is 1992's Derf list ONLY. 1991 was a big year for derfs, but most reading this were not around then anyway. So, next time someone calls you Derf, consider yourself lucky, and DON'T assume they are out to get you. - Powerslave ///////// // ///// // // // // // ///// // // // // ////// ///// -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- The Lawless Society -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 9/28/92
