Just a bit of background for my omake. I was on IRC about to make a release for a group, stressing over the finishing and final touches on the chapter. martyr calls me in another channel notifying me of the chaos that was ensuing at lurk, and in my crazed-out stressed and pissed off mood, I made it to lurk, without reading the prior conversations that occurred earlier, and regardless of anything, I wanted blood. I was restraining myself, trying not to be too pissed off and burst a blood vessel or something. I was going to start a new thread about this, but screw it, I'll put it here. Thanks to martyr for the logs. None of these makes any sense, but just background to my omake.
[02:30] <Scyfer> berserk chapters being scanned by multiple groups
[02:30] <purafyre> sooooo fricking hilarious
[02:30] <Puck-> its the same as wny chobits was done by like 8 fansub groups
[02:30] <Inner-Voice> yes, outakes on the dvds fucking rock
[02:30] <Puck-> people wanna get in on the hit stuff
[02:30] <Scyfer> yeah -.- pain for fans

there are some crap translations out there
[02:30] <purafyre> the scene were guts and caska make love, guts looks lovingly into caska's eye and says "i want to fuck you like berserker!"
[02:30] <mansalkun> its mainly Evil Genius right? seems like Gods Hand is not doing it, and there are translations on skullknight
[02:30] <muramuramuramune> lmao, the bloopers were insane
[02:30] <martyr3810> bah, the only groups worth getting scans of berserk from are The Hawks and Evil_Genius
[02:30] <purafyre> caska: " did you just say fuck you like berserker?"
[02:30] <muramuramuramune> they sounded like retarded fucks
[02:30] <martyr3810> and The Hawks stopped
[02:31] <martyr3810> GodHang blew.
[02:31] <Puck-> Evil Genius is good
[02:31] <purafyre> no they didnt
[02:31] <purafyre> they just delay
[02:31] <Puck-> no they ddient
[02:31] <martyr3810> Period.
[02:31] <Scyfer> yeah Im glad Hawks is continuing them; pretty much the best quality ones
[02:31] <AprilFool> !list
[02:31] <purafyre> and EG doesnt translate
[02:31] <purafyre> they steal
[02:31] <Puck-> We(Hawks) release volumes, not chapters
[02:31] <Inner-Voice> Hawks are only doing tankobans
[02:31] <martyr3810>

Hawks do too trans

[02:31] <martyr3810> err EG does too
[02:32] <xero01> l
[02:32] <martyr3810> else they wouldnt be so much farther ahead of everyone

[02:32] <muramuramuramune> i would of never discovered 20th century boys, if it werent ffor the hawks by 3 hours
[02:32] <Scyfer> Yeah I took a break from manga for a couple of years, and I'm glad Hawks is still around (and doing well even); good quality stuff

[02:32] <muramuramuramune> yea, theyre great
[02:32] <Inner-Voice> yup, that's why I've only been getting the volume releases, so technically I'm more than a volume behind on Berserk XD
[02:32] <Scyfer> Manga project seems to have died though :X
[02:32] <infinite|sin> 20thCB <3
[02:33] <Puck-> way more then a volume
[02:33] <martyr3810> yeah, more like 4 volumes
[02:33] <Puck-> Im kinda a traitor to the hawks, I real EG releases
[02:33] <Puck-> no
[02:33] <purafyre> hawks was my first introduction to scanlations and manga in general

[02:33] <Puck-> maybe just over 2 volumes
[02:33] <purafyre> then omanga
[02:33] <martyr3810> the last release by the hawks was 26... EG did 27,28,29, and is in the middle of 30.
[02:33] <Akitobdb> wats so good about 20th cb?
[02:33] <purafyre> then lurker
[02:33] <Puck-> wow
[02:33] <Puck-> your new then?
[02:33] <Inner-Voice> huh... thought latest Berserk release was something in vol 30?
[02:33] <Inner-Voice> I have up to vol 28
[02:33] <Eldo> EG rox0rz.
[02:33] <purafyre> im kidna new, im about 2 months into manga scanlations
[02:33] <martyr3810> it is Inner, dunno wtf theyre talking about
[02:33] <muramuramuramune> WTF, wATS GOOD ABOUT 20th CENTURY BOYS????
[02:34] <martyr3810> Nothing mura, theyre on crack
[02:34] <Inner-Voice> lol
[02:34] * dvd_burner is now known as lavie|out
[02:34] <TAIMAT> from hawks v28 .. for eg ... chapter 260
[02:34] <infinite|sin> >__<!
[02:34] <Puck-> who you work for?
[02:34] <koizu> 20CB is just a very long mindfuck
[02:34] <Akitobdb> no really
[02:34] <miyagiCE> EG 4TW
[02:34] <Inner-Voice> oooh
[02:34] <Puck-> @pura
[02:34] <Inner-Voice> I should read 20CB then
[02:34] * Scyfer should find the hawks versions of the latter volumes
[02:34] <TAIMAT> it's from mangka ogf monster ... then it's good
[02:34] <muramuramuramune> 20th cb is the leader of goosebumps
[02:34] <Laik> Gah, don't make up acronyms.
[02:34] * Inner-Voice liked Lain and Boogiepop
[02:35] <martyr3810> they arent
[02:35] <purafyre> oh no one. im hobbyist. just a leecher/reader.
[02:35] <Eldo> I found out who this 'friend' is.
[02:35] <infinite|sin> Naoki Urasawa is the mangaka^^
[02:35] <Eldo> It's some random n00b. zomg!
[02:35] <purafyre> but i did some editing and some article writing for the lurker ezine editor before he quit
[02:35] <Laik> You would probably like Texnolyze also Inner-Voice.
[02:35] <Puck-> I dont mind EG, but I have to say it, there only even known because then jumped on the "hot series" bandwaggin
[02:35] <Inner-Voice> lol
[02:35] <martyr3810> bullshit. They've been around for a bit and done ones that arent Hot series.
[02:35] <Inner-Voice> and the earlier works were not that great
[02:36] <Puck-> ahhh ok, just saying "im about 2 months into manga scanlations" made me think you scanlated
[02:36] <TAIMAT> they start a lot of projects & cancel them like nothin
[02:36] <purafyre> ohhh i meant finding out about them and reading them
[02:36] <Laik> Gah, we only have one translator that is hardly there for real.
[02:36] <Scyfer> what group is this>
[02:36] <Eldo> What the hell are you on?
[02:36] <mansalkun> well the only projects they're continuing are berserk and zetman right
[02:36] <martyr3810> that happens to most scanlation groups Tiamat, look in dropped sections and youll see tons for each scanlation group
[02:36] <purafyre> lol but i was going to help start a small group just for Goldenboy
[02:36] <Puck-> EGs first release was berserk 248 I beleave
[02:36] <Eldo> EG can either stop, and that'll be no berserk of you.
[02:36] <purafyre> we wanted more out because ayanami was overworked and understaffed
[02:37] <Laik> Doesn't Ayanami already do GoldenBoy.
[02:37] <Eldo> Or another group will start and get accused by your type.
[02:37] <Laik> Ah, I see.
[02:37] <JonazanTeo> yo Eldo
[02:37] <JonazanTeo> hows it going?
[02:37] <Puck-> and I think gods hand berserk scans are better
[02:37] <Scyfer> it's just lack of coordination for the most part (which has gotten better for the most part)
[02:37] <martyr3810> <Puck-> and I think gods hand berserk scans are better -- wTF? hahahahahahaahahahahahahahhahaahahahah
[02:38] <Puck-> but I was asked to rejoin hawks again, so guess I have to stop reading them
[02:38] <Inner-Voice> lol
[02:38] <Puck-> "hhahaahahahah"?
[02:38] <Puck-> how do you say that?
[02:38] <martyr3810> Have you read them? Theyre translation is crap.
[02:38] <martyr3810> wow, tired, THEIR translation

[02:38] <Laik> Not that I'm offended or anything but what makes you like God Hand's release better?
[02:38] * Scyfer is glad that was corrected XD
[02:38] <Puck-> I said there scans are better
[02:39] * martyr3810 apologizes, 13 hour work day

[02:39] <martyr3810> scans implies all factors of the finished product - and their translation blows.
[02:39] <Laik> Damn, you should take a nap or something. Hope you got some good overtime pay or something.
[02:39] <Inner-Voice> not really, scanslation implies all factors
[02:39] <Puck-> no
[02:40] <Puck-> scanlation, or release does
[02:40] <Puck-> scans mean, the scans
[02:40] * martyr3810 : Laik : Oh I did.
[02:40] <Laik> Ha. I see.
[02:40] * miyagiCE rofls at purafyre
[02:40] <purafyre> huh?
[02:40] <ranx> god hand? is that another group that scanlates berserk?
[02:40] <martyr3810> yeah, the short version is that they suck.
[02:41] <TAIMAT> just want EG to do more zetman
[02:41] <Laik> God Hand is supposedly a one man group.
[02:41] <ranx> oh
[02:41] <purafyre> godhand comes out quick though
[02:41] <Puck-> the short verson is the story blows ass atm
[02:41] <ranx> The Hawks does the best job in my opinion
[02:41] <Heffer> !list
[02:41] <Eldo> a) EG leader had RL stuff to do.
[02:41] * Heffer sets mode: +v relevasius
[02:41] <Eldo> during that time.
[02:41] <Puck-> only reason to read the chapter releases atm is the art
[02:41] <purafyre> EG leader is an ass
[02:41] * Heffer sets mode: +v Kaens[dnd]
[02:41] <martyr3810> I like EG and Hawks, dunno if I could say either is better.
[02:41] <purafyre> all of EG are asses
[02:41] <Laik> If we had translators I'm sure our releases would be more consistent
[02:41] <purafyre> digital panic is full of asses
[02:41] <martyr3810> Aww look, Pura's real reason for disliking EG, its personal for him

[02:41] <Eldo> Yeah, we sure are.
[02:41] <Laik> Damn, you don't have to do me like that.
[02:41] <ranx> evil genius does a crappy job with berserk...lots of spelling and grammar errors
[02:41] <Shijui> .......
[02:42] <Eldo> Maybe you can join and QC for us.
[02:42] <purafyre> lol
[02:42] <Puck-> lol
[02:42] <Eldo> oh noes!
[02:42] <Bakanekokun> crap..I have to restart my comp
[02:42] <Eldo> 'I'm complaining for something I got for free!'
[02:42] <Eldo> zomg!
[02:42] <Laik> My favorite groups are actually Omanga, Manga-Sketchbook, and the Hawks.
[02:42] <ranx> I'd do it
[02:42] <Puck-> your 2 months new to manga and hate groups? lol, your the man, picky as hell lol

[02:43] <purafyre> boku wa nihongo o chotto hanasemasu
[02:43] <Inner-Voice> everybody needs trans
[02:43] <Laik> It depends on your taste for real friend.
[02:43] * Shijui sets mode: -b *!*@22cbf9e3.19108886.dyn.optonline.net
[02:43] <TAIMAT> Eldo is a Real Omake maker ... treat him with respect
[02:44] <Puck-> I have best resume for editor ever, tokyopop editor
[02:44] <Eldo> I'll give you 90 pages of AirGear to edit if you want.
[02:44] <Puck-> lol
[02:44] <Inner-Voice> lol
[02:44] <[blessed]> me such a newbie on manga and anime >.<
[02:44] <martyr3810> agreed. anyone who ever saw his Berserk Vs. Bleach thing should worship Eldo
[02:44] <JonazanTeo> Eldo you
[02:44] <Scyfer> Really Puck?;p
[02:44] <[blessed]> dunno whats really good
[02:44] <Puck-> Ill scan all 9 volumes of AG I have for you to translate
[02:44] <JonazanTeo> you ebil head of s-scans

[02:44] <Eldo> Sure.
[02:44] <Inner-Voice> that's good, Puck-? XD
[02:44] <Eldo> Scan them.
[02:44] <purafyre> akatsuki is one of my favorites
[02:44] <[blessed]> but i'm reading bleach and yakitate now... theyre nice =)
[02:44] <Eldo> I'll take it.
[02:44] <purafyre> i like their taste
[02:44] <TAIMAT> or that noob slayer ... it was awsome
[02:44] <infinite|sin> "Berserk Vs. Bleach thing"?
[02:44] <Puck-> did Cresent moon and Battle Vixens
[02:44] <Laik> Wait, you don't have to do that. They are already up.
[02:44] <JonazanTeo> so hows AG going Eldo?
[02:44] <TAIMAT> but he say no more omake

[02:44] <Scyfer> That's pretty neat

Tokyopop does a good job with their manga
[02:44] <purafyre> and i have nothing against EG
[02:44] <`real> whats this berserk vs bleach thing?

[02:44] <Eldo> Stressful times, friend.
[02:44] <Puck-> they do ok
[02:44] <purafyre> just the forums they go to

[02:44] <martyr3810> no more omake from Eldo? Say it isn't so!!!
[02:44] <JonazanTeo> whats the latest raw?
[02:45] <Kaens[dnd]> Eldo, u mean #sc?
[02:45] <Scyfer> better than viz and cmx ;(
[02:45] <Puck-> but I get payed, so its ok
[02:45] <Puck-> lol ya
[02:45] <Eldo> No inspiration for omake right now.
[02:45] <purafyre> mmm taro ice cream.... mmmm....
[02:45] <JonazanTeo> i know TT comes out monthly
[02:45] <Laik> Hmm, try getting me a job Puck. I wouldn't be a lazy editor if I got paid for it.
[02:45] <Puck-> but darkhorse still owns
[02:45] <Puck-> except they screwed up on first page of berserk volume 1
[02:45] <martyr3810> I can live with that
[02:45] <Inner-Voice> lol
[02:45] <Scyfer> lots more experience there I guess

[02:45] <muramuramuramune> was that with gutz, screwing that demon chick?
[02:45] <WrathofDog> Oh? How so?
[02:45] <martyr3810> DH makes good stuff anyway

[02:45] <Eldo> Name other mangas you have to scan.
[02:45] <ranx> I'll do QC and edits for berserk if anyone needs me to do it
[02:45] <Puck-> ya
[02:45] <Puck-> had the same word twice
[02:45] <Eldo> I'll steal those projects like a rogue.
[02:46] <Inner-Voice> if all they screwed up was one page, that's good by me
[02:46] <JonazanTeo> thats one heck of a thief
[02:46] <Puck-> just a sec, Ill find it
[02:46] <Laik> Ha, we're joking friend. We only really need translators for real.
[02:46] <martyr3810> its ok Puck, we honestly dont care.
[02:46] <JonazanTeo> Eldo you been playing too much rogue alliance and thief
[02:46] <martyr3810> he plays alliance? that explains it, pricks. Cough cough.
[02:46] <martyr3810>

[02:46] <purafyre> going afk
[02:46] <purafyre> reading a script for someone
[02:47] <Puck-> dont confuse we with me there Martyr
Here's the omake; read from right to left:
I found it amazing how the people who bash EG are still willing to join. I think it's most humourous.
