Elysius.RAiD
Rendering Artistically Insane Designs
Welcome to the first edition of the monthly RAiD Newsletter, first
I guess you would like to know some shit about this group. Well lets
start off from our beginings, RAiD was formed under the merger of two
young new groups in the 604. My group was the Clan, which I had just
quit NATiON for, we had some good talent under our belt but were lacking
in other areas. Clan was a mostly ANSi oriented art group, with 5 ANSi
Artists, 1 VGA and 1 Coder. Not very big but every member was highly
talented in their field. The group CLAN merged with is PATRiOT, another
group that had been around for about 1/2 a month. PATRiOT was having
some problems getting off the ground and needed a boost in their ANSi
department. PATRiOT filled in the CLANs holes in the other divisions
while the CLAN helped boost PATRiOTs ANSi department. Shortly after
this merge we aquired several new but talented members from another local
group DEATHSTAR or DTS for short. RAiD is oriented around a completely
relaxed atmosphere you do what you want when you want, as long as you do
contribute something. Otherwise there isnt really any point of being in
an art group is there? RAiD isnt here to compete with any of the other
groups in 604 or outside, we are here just to have fun producing quality
art then bein recognized for it under the RAiD banner. If your interested
in getting in touch with RAiD there are three things you can do:
1 Find Pestilence.RAiD Senior, or another RAiD Member on the IRC
2 InterNet E-Mail me at grateful.dead@f883.n153.z1.fidonet.org
3 Call Rise of the Midnight Sons RAiD WHQ at 604431-6515/3821
1 Arrivals
Some new arrivals here at RAiD that we are rather pleased with are
Corn DogANSi and Emerald SkelterANSi who both came over from a
inactive local group DTS. AdidasANSi, ApexANSi/Coding, EtoCoding
and The WarlordCoding have all joined us from nowhere to give us a
much appreciated help in the ansi and coding divisions. Last but
definately not least is YoungANSi/RIP. These new additions look very
promissing for the future of RAiD, and we welcome each and every one
of them.
2 Departures
There is only one departure this month which is due to the artist
not having any spare time at the moment. InquisitorANSi who came out of
nowhere in the past month has proven he is one of the top artists in this
A/C he will be sorely missed and we will forever have a place for him
here.
3 RAiDViEW
RAiDView is being programmed using Assembly by our head coder Eto,
RAiDView supports 80x25, 80x50, and VGA Modes. ICEColor is also supported
along with BIN File viewing. Many more features will be added in the up
and comming months to hopefully make RAiDView the best in the scene.
4 Nifty Spiffy Future Notes
Well RAiD has some ideas that will make viewing the Renditions alot
more than just seeing great artwork, we hope to make them entertaining.
So in the upcomming months look forward to seeing fresh new ideas being
poked around in the Renditions. I cant say what any of them are right
now but they will definetly add a certain twist to an already great pak.
5 Voice your opinion!
If you have a problem or a question about RAiD that you would like
answered leave some InterNet mail to me at the adress stated above. I
would like to here from all of you on what you thought of our pak and how
you think we could improve. Dont be shy in what you say I could give
less of a shit if you dont agree with what were doing but I would still
like to here it.
