"Conquest of the Art World"
Empire Artistry's Compilation #1
Compiled for the month of November, 1993
All Artistry within this Compilation is
is free to be distributed in any manner
but is property of Empire Artistry and
may not be altered in any way, shape or
form. Thank you for downloading our art.

Well, well, well... here we all stand at a sort of crossroads. This is our
first compilation and display of our talent ever released under the Empire
name. It's a little late but is surely up to any decent standards. We have
worked hard to bring you the best in our collection of original art pieces,
and we hope that you like and can use anything in this compilation. We do what
we do for fun, and to help people in general who need our services. We do not
charge money, and we do not require that you run a huge 999 node 6834 billion
gig super K-wares board (but that's always nice... ;)). If you need a piece of
artwork done, come to us, and we won't fill your advertisement with any sort
or personal rags against others, and we won't give you low quality.
Now that I've finished my introductory plug, I can go on with business.
Pretty basic shit, really... I'll explain EMPiRE at present, and future plans,
I'll tell you how the group is organized, and where you fit in. If you want
to read about the past routes in Empire, I wrote a letter about it, named
MPIR1093.LTR, in which you can read all about it - exciting shit, I know. As
for the present of Empire, we've grown to be a fairly large group since our
original instatement, and I will explain the major details in just a moment.
At present we are working on bringing the public two things, firstly is
EMPiRENet, which will span most Empire affiliated systems, and any other
systems who apply... will it be just another net? Possibly... I don't know
what I can give you to make it different from every other net, beside that
Empire will be on it - you'll be able to make requests quickly and easily.
We are in the planning stages of EMPiRENet right now, and we may be up and
accepting applicants by the release of our next compilation. If you're
interested, stay tuned. The second major thing-a-ma-doo-hickey is a little
big magazine called Premier. I will answer any questions as long as they
pertain to the magazine, and NOT the release date. The release date has NOT
been set, but work is being done to bring you the best possible magazine any
of our coders can possibly code. The magazine is being coded to pick up where
TRACE never started. For those of you who are not familiar with TRACE, it was
to be a magazine that helped further publicize smaller art groups out there.
I never stopped liking this idea, and when I heard of it's supposed demise,
I organized a similar effort. Premier Magazine is looking for participants
currently, if you are an artist, writer, or coder, and interested in helping
out, you can contact me, ShadowSorcerer, anywhere you can (best places are
EMPiRE sites), and I'll be right back to ya.
Now, on to the major details I told ya about above. One of the first things
I pulled off this month was recruiting Flick of the Switch. He creates art
in a large scale, and his work is beautiful. He is also going to pioneer the
EMPiRENet project, and keep it alive. Thanks a million, FotS. I also changed
previous organization to creater a tighter and more productive staff. Now,
there are four division coordinators, KillRaven is Ansi Coordinator, Ender
coordinates Technical stuff (loaders, etc), Primordial Chowder is coordinating
the effort on the eastern front, and I am coordinating the artists in the
central US area. Primordial Chowder has been making a considerable effort to
coordinate the artists on the east coast, spending his time and money in the
process. Without the support of our Eastern Capitol, Steady Diet of Nothing,
he has to do ALL of the work himself. I commend him for his effort.
Although VectoR is not an official member, he is contributing our viewer
this month, and he's doing it in less than a day. For this he has the position
of Honorary Member forever (or until he becomes a real member, whichever comes
first ;)). Thanks for saving my life, Vector... I owe you one bigtime.

Ok folks, this is primordial chowder..the East Coast Coordinator for
EMPiRE.  Just in case you've never heard of me (which would be NO suprise to me
at all =]), I was an artist in iLLUSiON for one month, and before I had a chanceto really get anything decent in a pack the group died.  I then went to TaG withCisco (now of ACiD-good job!), and the group again died before I could get
anything in a pack.  I then came to EMPiRE, and here I hope to be able to stay
for over a month-a record for me =].  This month I have a few things in the
pack, but I really didn't give myself much time to get it all together..as well
as improve upon some of the work and add other ansis which still need a little
work.  But next month you should be seeing more by me, hopefully a lot better,
and I should have a completed ViSiON-X menu set by then..maybe two, I'm not
sure.  Anyway, being the East Coast Coordinator, I'm looking for good artists,
as well as good boards that would like to be sites.  If you are at all
interested, contact me or any other EMPiRE artist at any of the sites or Hq's
listed in this pack.  Next month's pack should be even better, but in the
meantime, enjoy this one.

What can I say?  I probably won't be writing anything for the newsletter
ever again unless there's something important for me to say.  ShadowSorcerer
would probably cover everything anyways.  I do, however, feel somewhat
obliged to type up some bs since this is our first released pack...

I'd just like to say that to the aspiring ANSi artists out there, don't be
afraid to apply... as ANSi coordinator, I'd like to keep some of the old
UNiCoRN ideals (such as helping lesser artists to become better artists,
etc., etc.).  Anyways, I also don't care much about who the artist is or
about their past actions, if they're good, fine.  This means that people who
may have ripped an ANSi out of desperation at one point but otherwise do
quality work will probably be accepted (...although, there are limits and
exceptions...) despite whatever ragging may occur from that... of course,
these are just some ideas (not all mine... some are SS's... =) ) and are
subject to change... isn't everything?  Oh well.  That's enough bs for now.

KillRaven greets: ShadowSorcerer, Dr. Stupid, ReDMaN, FotS, Ender, the
Gentile Rabbi
...and to all the other Killravens out there: Who are you?

ShadowSorcerer's Greets:

Flick of the Switch  - You are a true artist.
primordial chowder   - You're a great guy, and a hard worker. Keep thinkin'
up those group names, and artworld parodies, and I'll
make sure you see them in a pack... ;)
KillRaven            - Not rags, parodies (see PC's greet), so it doesn't
break your policy. ;)
Ender                - So... when's that Krad loader gonna be done?
...and how do I get ahold of ya?
VectoR               - You're some kinda hero, man.
Tempus Thales        - You still don't know who I am, but I'm still one of
your biggest fans.
VindicatioN          - Thanks for not fitting my ACiD stereotype... oh, and
also for the interview... <begging> can I have leech
access on your board, PLEASE? PLEASE? ;)
One Thumb            - I'm back! I'm gone! I'm back! I'm gone! (I better shut
up, that might be me someday...)
Dieter               - Don't you call Valley of Death anymore? Oh well, I
guess you're still the coolest guy in 408... you have
no competition! ;)
Lord Zaru            - Yeah, I'll upload when I get around to it! ;) <jk>
Shihear Kallizad     - <did I spell it right?> What's so special about judging
other people's ANSi? Shouldn't it be the viewer who is
the judge? Just a suggestion...
Beastie              - Get it right, fool! ;) You still gonna help with
Premier?
Midnight Sorrow      - I thought your board was down...
Cavalier             - Where's TRACE?
Ricochet             - Where's Adrenalin? ;)
Hannibal Lecter      - Where's Sea-Tac? =P
Soto                 - Where's your brain? :-)
Final Descendant     - Zimmer's not in THIS group... so I guess you can't
knock it. ;)
ShadowSorcerer       - <Shut up you egotistical fool!> ;)
Anyone I missed      - Tough shit. <jk> If I know you and I missed you,
scream at me... or something, I can't well name every
person I need to greet and end up with a list like
Cavalier's (but I can come close) ;).

Primordial Chowder's Greets:

Cisco                - Congratulations and thanks for everything.
ShadowSorcerer       - Did you spell your name right? :)
How that phone comin'?
