All the news we feel like printing T h e A C i D Issue No 7 An Official ACiD Productions(tm) Public Update February 1995 The ACiD Editorial by Eerie This scene thing is getting so trendy it frightens me You know it all began a few months ago when everyone decided all of a sudden to join 300 kazillions of groups at the same time Is that such a problem My opinion is if the seniors can really handle that one of their artist is also in all those other groups then why would I care Anyway that s pretty much what I ve done in the past few months (mostly just for the fun of it though but I ll explain that later) Okay new year and stuff everyone s happy new packs galore there was some really cool shit this month but there were two pure JOKES First of course WiND Now no one really needs to explain what happened with that group it s just funny and doesn t hurt anyone anyway (For those who wonder what the fuss is about read Undergrown #6 you can download it on all the decent art boards ) Now let s examine the second joke of this new year Paramount Okay here are the facts Some guy named Shivan (formerly known as Sonoma iCE ) decides to start his own group (everyone else does why not him !) called Paramount Now there s a big problem he doesn t find any members So what he ll just ask his old iCE friends Shaggy Lord Soth Amroth and all to join as a side-project Now let s examine the memberlist more specifically the ANSI Artists List If I m not too fucked there are exactly 8 dual-groupers and only THREE artists who are in no other group (as far as I know ) Now maybe it s more like 7 4 or 9 2 I m not 100% sure but you can easily get the idea People will just rag on me now saying Okay Eerie you had art released in FIVE different packs this month isn t that as lame I d say no I actually did some stuff for every group I was in unlike the Paramount side-project dudes Unzip PMT-0195 ZIP again Look carefully Who did the REAL board advertisements Answer Devine Styler and Phase-2 who are NOT in other groups Now who did the Paramount promos logos and stuff The other dudes (actually Shaggy has drawn a kinda sorry board ad too probably the kind of pic he wouldn t even have released in an iCE pack) Actually I rag on Paramount mostly but that attitude is widely spread How many times do you hear Who wants to join my new group called BoZo Uh I m already in that group called GiZMuT Man just stay in GiZMuT and join us as well! And then the guy is so proud to add that new k-rad affiliation and to sign his ansis BoZo GiZMuT Oh well - Eerie ACiD by rad man soultaker and cat Since the beginning of time man has um i d like to setup a strived toward being the best in a specific conference yea my name field Reaching back into prehistoric eras is john biner man has no motivation in life without it Accordingly man has lived by the saying To the victor go the spoils And indeed the spoils are the result of hard work deter- mination and complete dedication Modern institutions such as ACiD Productions con- tinue to reinforce these ideas ACiD Productions is an ever-evolving entity spreading world-wide a continually growing giant in the world of multimedia computer graphics Literally hundreds of 3 applicants from all over the globe sacrifice 3 their dignity in order to join ranks with the best Soultaker our new telecom coordinator is caugh prepar- These victors are few in number Exam- ing another of those notorious ples of such are Formic Acid former UNION ACiD conferences VGA coordinator who departs in order to gain the status of ACiD artist Also comes Black Guard Prisoner#1 Silver Rat and Typhus all former UNION virtuosos Additionally Stone The Crow previously of iCE advances to ACiD Furthermore ANSI artist extraordinaire of too many groups to mention Eerie enters as our offi- cial newsletter organizer and artisan Next is former Stile senior staff member Gangstar who similarly joins as an ANSI artist Finally we welcome Cat s first recruit Icto a phenomenal VGA illustrator With each new parting come two new joinings and 3 the giant grows ACiD today is more than that of 3 yesterday Without a doubt no organization can be successful without the full participation of all its members Thus Duster Evil One and Psycho Child Cat just wanted to say have been purged from the member list due to inactiv- meow to all the new ity It is understandable that some members get lost ACiD members in the bottomless abyss of confusion and as a result end up straying from ACiD The most recent cases of this are as follows First there is Alter Ego who has egressed to form his own group Unchained Best of luck In a like manner Lord Jazz left for a short stint in UNION only to create his own group as well Bleach (refer to BLCHNFO2 ZIP ) Terminator2 perhaps the supreme king of hypocrisy left to become UNION poster boy only to depart two weeks later and join Unchained ACiD s heirarchy is continually changing in order to ensure the group s success This month The Calibre has shifted from Courier Coordinator to Public Relations specialist thereby relieving Sharp 3 of his duties Another change for the February 1995 3 pacq is the reappearance of Soultaker in the new ACiD Schizosynth is d ooling member list after a two year hiatus but this time about being the new ACiD around he joins as the new TeleCommunications Coor- Eastern Agora dinator The remaining coordinator and senior staff positions remain intact This month we at ACiD Productions bid farewell to two of our largest distribution sites and two remarkable boards have been chosen to take their place Since Somms Terra Firma has gone down Formic Acid s The Dominion has been appointed the new Western Agora On the other side of the United States Schizosynth s Loki s Error succeeds Alter Ego s Dark Sun World Thank you for taking the time to read our quarterly issue of the ACiD Newsletter Aren t you glad you didn t have to download it twiCE ACiD Writer Photographer Eerie - Source RaD Man - Editor The Calibre ACiD
