hal - hal speaks - well we re back ) it seems that a ton of people liked the pack so i decided to be a mindless slob and follow the urges of the masses i m not alone tho if you look at the memberlist you ll see that a lot of the members from last month s revival pack have come back for more fire madness plus we ve got some terrific new additions to the crue check out the personal news section below for more details i really hope that fire doesn t become another trend thing it s sure as hell getting a lot more publicity than it used to it almost makes me nostalgic for the old days almost there are benefits associated with being the group that s gonna kick the living shit outta legend (i had to do it somms please don t rip my testes off ) see since fire is big and k-rad now i can go on irc and do this hal^fire hey everyone usual shmoe w0w! f1re rules! that s cool and all but i wonder how many of those people were around when we released our christmas pack last year or when eerie declared us his favorite small group (next to mist of course) or when we tried to merge into mist or got our first long distance member (pale ) point is if you really want to support the group and understand where we re coming from go back in time and do it from the start! ) just kidding but i would love it if people would actually go back and look at some of the old packs there are some awesome sights to be seen including wm-talen exe mac s 24-hour pyroview and some of p1 s earlier less-perfect ansis now that my griping is over i ll get down to the nitty gritty - group news - fire isn t taking sites anymore don t ask if i want to give you a site you ll have a site and yes i think distros are cool fuck the i-net when you need a pack there should be some local bbs that always have the latest no dual groupers not to sound like integrity but i really hate dualing i m a complete fucking hypocrite since i did it in relic for so long but i m trying to make up for past mistakes by making everyone else suffer ) but seriously dualing kills groups as p1 so eloquently said it just takes away from the character of a group when i get on irc i want people to think there s halaster he s in fire not there s halaster he draws for groups all over the place fire should be getting some new methods of communication setup soon as well shaolin is looking into getting pyronet running again and maxwell and wintermute are busily coding away at fire s very own home page in addition to this project maxwell is also coding and modding #fire s own eggdrop bot donutz i m also working on compiling a complete fire mailing dlist nihilistic order is serving as the temporary fire whq until the regency is back up on-line as a telnet site you can upload any work or app to the order through a standard account or through vision-x s spiffy dos upload feature i will also accept applications and work on harvest moon and on irc nihilistic s number is 770 642-2434 - individual - prisoner#1 began work on vga artwork again this month and should have some really spiffy work in the next few months scratch that p1 quit vertigo joins from bleach the man is a talented ansi and ascii artist and will surely contribute to the group in the future silver rat joins this month from acid and continues to run roc sr is one of the few remaining exceptions to the dualing rule and will remain in both groups for the forseeable future shaolin returns to the fire fold after a long hiatus with a variety of groups his rip artwork was sorely missed and i m thrilled to have ole sa (yes sa not shn or whateverthefuck some other groups were calling him) back silver dragon joins up with fire this month as an ansi artist his work shows much promise and will surely reach oustanding levels in the months to come eerie my favorite frenchie joins up with us at long last! as predicted by little ole me way back when fire was alive the first go round eerie was destined to be in my group again it s almost a relic reunion with ktulu is still in the group ole kt still finds the time to draw ansi for fire even when he is faced with the daunting task of slacking through his senior year and applying to every ivy league school in existance for the first time i have to sadly admit that i have no fucking idea what ktulu s pic in the pack is of if you can figger it out tell me the silent killer also joins fire this month as an ansi artist his fonts are exceptionally good and he s also expanding his horizons to pic artwork shroom formerly of teklordz applied and was accepted this month shroom has a very interesting font style and extends it well into his full pics as a relative newcomer to the scene shroom s art shows amazing promise shroom will also be contributing rip artwork to fire then he quit this is the kind of lame shit that s going to kill the scene one day if you say you re going to join a fucking group it should be true! not to mention the fact that you should plan on staying there for at least a good amount of time nivenh parsec nanowhap target schizm sighting nano (saga) bewm time to tsq-16 = 11 bobomoochers go for string up nivtriot 1 through nivtriot 17 baker baker sn00t - closing - i have to personally apologize for the non-spectacular quality of the fire pack i think i rushed it besides that i also managed to catch two nice ear infections this month so i ve been feeling kinda shitty for the past few days the next pack should rock however so keep your eyes peeled it really sucks that this is the first month that fire has released a pack worse than the last but hey things happen halaster firegency kates+@andrew cmu edu fire 95 if it goes down i go down -- eof
