Kwestphunk was a specific style used by myself and a few friends, it was like, our kwestphunk styled ascii was our double edge sword, I mean we had many different styles, mostly internal technique, copyrighted by the artist, one would use a different size, one would use a neat swirl. It was all around a completely elegant style. So I just used it synonymously and metaphorically, and mixed them together..I feel no one can mess with our skills graphically, because our double edge sword is to large. i hoped for it to be unmatchable, and invincible..and so, from the root idea of Kwestphunk, I pulled kWEST!. I, Cain, am considered to be the founder. _oO- /___\ ... .---. ___o_o_ ...............:.: '.

Some of us live in the same country, thats about it. We we're all connected one way or another. Personally me, Cain, I'm the common denominator to everybody in kWEST! ..you see they all definately knew me, if they didn't know each other, they definately knew me. That's kind of how the idea came about, they all know me quite well.. so what could stop us from joining together as a group of friends, to release quality ascii?..well, obviously nothing is in the way, we don't need to compete with anyone, we're not here for that..quality ascii is the idea, and that's how it'll be. KWEST IS HERE FOREVER, MOTHER FUCKER..not as competition, we dont specifically care for it as others do, although..we stick up for our name, and what we're about..if it does come to crushing some poor box of cereal, we will. I seem labelled as a mischievous little ascii buff, so wrong. I went through that stage with noname, and kWEST! is higher form of life compared to noname. I simply realized that competition is irrelevant and useless to how me and my friends would do our thing. We don't need to prove a damn thing, but, as I said before, we will if we feel threatened. You can stereotype us as what you want. But, kWEST! is ascii. I said it was a group of friends, and it is. I said it wasn't a group, but theoretically, it is. It all comes down to how YOU look at us. So, in closing, take us for what you want, we know exactly what we are, do you? ............. : : ................. : : ,sS#Ss, : : ......... : : ........ d%$$$$p : : ........... : : ______ : ___oOo_ ` 0o' _oOo_______ : _____ : : ______/ /_____ / __//_(__o_)__\_ .____//________\___/__ : : ___\\ / __/_ \^ \\________ /_______ //_______//____ : \ _ \______ \ /_____/\\______ / / / : \_______\ \ . /________\_____ ' / /_______/_____ / : . \_______\: . \________/ . \_______/ :........ : : .......: . ............: . : : . : . : : : :...............: :............: :...........: There are few ascii groups in the scene today, that actually deserve the respect they get. Why do these groups get kWEST's props? ..simply because they we're always a little better then the rest, they influenced me, or in this case, US at one point or another. And, as I said, the amount of influence, can greatly involve the scene around them..in the group at hand. Consider that when you read the following greets, and the reasons: - First, and foremost..pMk, for PC ascii as we know it today. - The kTS!A crew, without you, acsii wouldn't be what it is today, and a large strings of groups would have never been formed. - The original Remorse ascii crew, for their influence on the PC ascii scene, you spawned a lot of funkyass shit, thanks. - The infamous Trank Ascii, for some of the most amazing ascii EVER released..and for flexxing the rule of survival of the fittest. - Asciid, what can I say? some of the best, all clumped up together in weird style of release..original, fat, with a p! - s0ap asCii, for the most revolutionary new school ever to be released, no one did it quite like us, and we can hold tREW tO dAT. - The Remorse 1981 clique! for keeping it real, don't go anywhere, the establishment is one of the best, if not the best. - Noname Ascii, not to be cocky and arrogant, but it meant a lot to me, and a lot to everyone else who viewed. ---------- - Sargon, don't get me wrong. I respect Serial..except it has yet to influence me, let alone shock me. Hang tough, bitch. - Blindman, I love(d) Basic like my brother, except the above applies here to.

It features the best from both schools of ascii. When I say the best, I mean it! so I think it's vital that the scene recognizes who this tribe called kwest is: - When you see Acid Jack, courtesy of 1981, throw up a K! - When you see Baltazar, throw up a K! - When you see Black Knight, throw up a K! - When you see Blindman, throw up a K! - When you see Cain, throw up a K! - When you see Discyple, throw up a K! - When you see Discofunk, throw up a K! - When you see Endless Nameless, throw up a K! - When you see Haji, throw up a K! - When you see Mass Murderer, throw up a K! - When you see Necromancer, courtesy of 1981, throw up a K! - When you see OmicroN, courtesy of 1981, throw up a K! - When you see Pariah, courtesy of 1981(?), throw up a K! - When you see Polypropz/morph, throw up a K, and kick him in the ass =) - When you see theProdigy, throw up a K! - When you see Purify, throw up a K! - When you see Seraphim, throw up a K, and wish him goodbye. - When you see The Masked Marauder, throw up a K! So, in closing, I'd like to thank all of you for viewing kwest 2, the legacy does continue. I'd like to thank all the guests in the pack; aXB, aCk, & a few others, whoever they are =). And well, we'll see you in kwest three.
