Hey there, just a few things making me wonder atm... dunno, might be you know the answers ?

1. Is Deviance == Rituel ? I found something on NForce while just looking for nfos of old groups like fairlight (yeah, i collect them ^^). I didnt know Fairlight still existed when FEAR was released ?
Well, however, at the bottom of Deviance' nfo (the new one existing since february of this year) is the same text that appears in the rituel.nfo ...
Also does Rituel have some kinda slogan: "Ripping is a ritual", pretty much like "Cracking is a Deviance"...
And they wrote down the same email in both nfos when saying they seek good crackers.
Is it possible that the new Deviance transformed out of Rituel ?

2. What is a game rip ? Am i right with the assumption that they rip all the non-english languages, intromovies and stuff ?
Does that go hand in hand with extracting the game file archives ?
I read that very often those groups unpack the game file archives (like the Quake engine pak files or PES' afs files) to achieve faster loading times or whatever...?
