'What's new' in iCE recently.

1.  We welcome several new members this month:

As some of you may know, iCE recently obtained the services of some
excellent European ANSI talents.  The former group CORP has joined
iCE, bringing Genesis, Sparr, and Wiz to the iCE Team.  CORP, from
Finland, was well known for the remarkably high quality ANSI talents
from Europe, a land dominated by the fast paced ascii Amiga scene.

Genesis will act as the European VP of iCE and will coordinate things
out of our new European Headquarters, Baudville.

Welcome, welcome!

Toxic Freak, from the famed northern sector up in the 'frozen wastelands
of canada' (quote copyright 1992 paul muad'dib. all rights reserved :>)
is perhaps one of the brightest new talents in the ANSI scene.  He began
drawing ANSI about three weeks ago and has shown remarkable improvement.
In the future, watch for him being one of the best in the world.

Leper Messiah, formerly of Spit, has joined the group after a pretty
impressive iCE Trial period which showed remarkable improvement.
Working with Shihear Kallizad, Leper has become quite a prominent
artist.

In the coding section of iCE, we welcome two new members!  The first,
The Shadow, formerly of ACiD, has joined up with iCE to work with
Eight Ball and Mad Hatter up in Ontario on VGAs/Demos.  The second,
Ford Prefect, is a coder from Israel.  Welcome aboard!

Finally, another late welcome to Metal Head, Senior Staff member.
He was left out in the December pack's .NFO so I figured we'll greet
him TWICE in a row.  Do-verrrrr....

2.  If anyone was confused about the former 'iCE Division' ideals and
controversy, the situation was settled nicely and the artists in
question are warmly welcome in iCE.  To those who don't know what
I'm talking about, don't worry about it, it's too long a story...

3.  Well, February was supposedly Taking Care Of It's Own Month, but
that seemed to just spur less artwork :>.. Actually, a number of
artists had some distractions this month due to midterms or school
or .... Valentine's Day.  Damn women want February to be Valentine's
Month.  :>...

4.  In a remarkable event, iCE's very own Quick Silver has thanked
HIMSELF for ripping Slum's font.  While it was obvious that Slum's
fonts were being ripped left and right, this is a precedent setting
event.

5.  This month's iCEPACK embarks on a new level of art.  Now we include
a plethora of literature and music as well as visual art.
Welcome to Israfel as a poet.

6.  Rivendell, the iCE WORLD HEADQUARTERS, can be reached at 201-808-5574.
(cheap-ass plug)

7.  Tempus Thales and Midnight Sorrow last week have started up a fight,
where they now hold great animosity towards each other.  The fight began
regarding Tempus' desiring to be a site for ESP, a techno-music group.
Midnight decided that Tempus would just try to recruit ESP members to
iCE.  To qualm any fears, we had no intention of this and are sorry for
any confusion.

8.  .siht daer t'nod esaelP

9.  Yes, someone NEW is doing the iCEPACK! Me! :) Only temporary...

10.  Finally, as some of you might have noticed, the active member-list has
been trimmed drastically.  Artists may have simply been left off due to
non-production in a few months, drops in quality, or a question of their
membership.  But in any event, you can see we are not as big as we used
to be... hmm.

And so ends yet another spectacular month of iCE art.
