memberlist design by Rebal Mak Sammael saga! - -- - - Hit the rewind son! (Kidky) Well what can I say How about It s about time We all know know that Saga s demise left a bitter taste in everyone s mouth including mine So after a year and a half we have returned to release yet another saga explosion Of course in the year and a half of Saga s absence most of the old members have moved on and are either no longer active in the scene or they are drawing for ice productions (grin) I would like to give my congradulations to Tetanus for being promoted to the advisory board I m glad stuff worked out for you bro and good luck to you So since Saga has been gone for such a long period of time you cannot expect it to be the same as it was in the past We are finding new talent everyday and trying to blend it together with some of our oldtimers Now I am in no way saying the old saga members are not welcome back I would love to have all of you guys back and try and experience the old and maybe the new I learned alot from the 1st Saga experience The most important thing I learned though is that if you want a stable group you must associate yourself with people who are capable of handling group based situations After Betrayer and Stone Amnesia stepped down after our first release I found it difficult to find two people who could fill the void I found myself switching posistions every month and now I realize this theory is just not going to work So now I have Stone Amnesia who has returned from limbo land along with Creator to help me keep this group running Also We dont plan on having 70 members anytime soon either On a closing note this group is going to focus soley on ansi Vga and rip are not wanted in Saga at this time I m not ruling out the idea but for now we are going to stick to ansi In just a little over a month we have been able to accomplish so much Z55 our first ansi viewer is almost completed This is just the first design of a more advanced viewer to come Our appgen has been redone with new ansi graphics and slick routines Our webpage is being constructed as we speak and is way ahead of scheduale We are also half-way done completing our very own ansi editor called virtual ansi draw We are doing our best to offer you the features of all the other ansi drawing programs with of course some new twists Look for it in the months to come So I would like to thank everyone for their hardwork and dedication in the groups first month of existence Without you the group would have folded This month s gimp of the month award goes to Creator Without you craig there would be no group Thankyou for having faith in me and giving me a fair chance I want to address something right now so I dont get any questions later Saga does not have any distro sites or outposts for that matter The official saga World Headquarters is Neo nacho which will be up via telnet sometime in June All of saga s releases will be online and available for download Also sometime in June ( hopefully early ) Saga s very own Saga org will be up and fully functional We will be able to supply our members with shell accounts email ftp and Web space If you are interested in joining us all you have to do is fill out the appgen and get it to either Creator Stone Amnesia or myself and we will get back to you as quick as possible Remember though that we are trying to keep ourselves small so we may initiate a memberfreeze That all depends in how things go so apply regardless Join #saga for all the latest news on upcoming saga projects and happenings I look foward to seeing you there Until next month i leave you with this You can t kill something that s already dead -Ellisdee ellisdee_ on irc -ellismc@hotmail com #saga -coming soon- saga org
