.alive oSEVEN.nine-f0 nfo file .by mass delusion/alive global coordinator man, this month was both fast and slow. fast, it went by. slow, i didn't do shit, i can tell you that much. :) I started a mega length Donkey Kong/Mario ansi and stuff, but it's not even close to being done. So, that means i'm not accounted for. Several members aren't, we shouldn't even REALLY release this.. but hey, our fans on IRC beckon us to irrationality! enough nonsense. now, we know this isn't our best pack. but we tried, and trying is all that counts. now look in the mirror, go on, do it now. say to yourself, i know i can do better than this. because i'm good enough, i'm strong enough, and doggone it, people like us. .daily affirmations by stuart smalley .warning: not a licensed psychologist anyhow.. not much has happened this month - a bunch of new members and sites that were pending and stuff like that ansi - dive - this dude kicks ass, nuff said. glad to have the MF on the alive side of the scene. call his board too. ascii - tinyz - he's the mack from israel. what more do we say? doing a joint effort with alive and kts!ascii! w0rd! couriering - winter rose - the ice courier, she's helping us out too, because our couriering sucks. as you've noticed. (or not as the case may be) coding - str!ct9 - a new coder, did a little loader for me this pack, looks strong, hoping to see strong shit from da d00d. deletions - the alive couriering staff from before. schitzo - guy hasn't called in ever, fone bill etc, no hard feelings with this guy. nightrain - went to shiver or some shit like that.. who cares. smirk - i dunno if he's gone.. things are up in the air. denizen ][ - read below.. down aways... ALiViEW. Let's just say nothing is new, byteman has been moving, and the thing is still sorry. We might have an all new viewer soon, but who knows, and if you can code viewers, we need you. I can't get the thing to run on my pooter with sound, so i dunno about y'all.. but the mod included is new, unreleased, just for our viewer! It's by Quarex, of TFX. The song title is 'Barbituadee' and is just a really mellow, chilling song to view this pack with. You'll probably like this to the cool but repetetive 'smoke on the water' mod that we had been including. have fun, and big greets go to Quarex, TFX productions, meet him on #TRAX. ALiVE And New Boards Well, ya know how I said for sushi x to get in touch with us? I just happened to see his board number on CZ! and gave it a call. He's back on Alive dist status and has joined MRi network. welcome aboard sush-meister! A couple months ago, Sociopath/Maestro agreed on a deal, for an alive site, well the deal wasn't completed until this month. Now Death Row in 413 will help represent us in the east. Welcome to alive and mri! Big thanks to Beastie, my now long time friend, for agreeing to allow us to convert our HQ to member run boards. CZ!, has been converted from the alive western hq into the alive advice and consolation hq, my personal crying grounds. =) Beastie has helped me out more than he knows, and I thank him for it again and again, regardless of his belief in deserving it. =) Congratulations to the mack daddy of alive - the ever working and promoting - the terbium meister himself - ABOMINATION! Abom's board Temporal Distortion has assumed the western hq position, and rightfully so for the work he's put into the group. Thank you abom, you've helped me immensely. Call it at 510/283.4430, ALiVE Western HQ. Denizen ][ and the rip. Terbium, the mag. run by abomination. it was great, minus one teensy little bit of bad judgement by a alive member. Denizen ][ decided, a) he'd borrow Minor Threats font without giving credit for it, and b) he'd use a half-circle from an ancient King Midas ACiD ansi. So essentially, DN's interface was artistically, by other people. This is not what we expect of alive members, nor is it what abomination expects of terbium seniors. Both groups have dropped him from their memberlists. However, alive, is releasing his final ansi, that he drew AFTER the rip. Why? Because frankly, we believe in him, I do at least. DN CAN draw, and he IS good. However, he exercised poor judgement in using other people's artwork without permission in this instance, and not giving them any credit. The issue is closed, DN has been dropped from the alive memberlist and once again, we do not condone ansi ripping. The TafkaSK rip? Uhhh no. The artist formerly known as Shihear Kallizad believes that DN also ripped an iCE ansi of his. The opening font choice screen? With the head and mouth open? That was originally by SK, in his iCE days. DN modified it, then added the font choice box, and left a 'thanks SK' with NO CREDIT FOR HIMSELF on the ansi. Abomination, unknowlingly, thought DN would like credit for his ansi, so he put '-dn' on the ansi, coded it in the mag, and released it. I do not think this is a rip, true, D2 should NOT have used SK's ansi without permission, but he did NOT claim it as his own either. This is definitely an important point. On IRC, TafkaSK argues, "'Thanks SK' is NOT credit!" Well it's better than '-dn' isn't it? The issue is over, tafkask and I have solved it out. We still disagree, but hey, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and each one smells different. eh? =) Tanx for the conversation on IRC however TafkaSK, you wasted my precious Delphi time. =) You owe me something along the lines of TRiBE. The end result? Denizen ][ is overall finished in the scene, he really doesn't give half a shit as it is. "Those people aren't my real friends, I don't really care." He has been dropped from ALiVE and TERBiUM. Sorry to see it end this way DN, you had a really promising future ahead of ya. However, while some may not think this be a wise move, ALiVE *IS* releasing a ansi that DN did all by his lonesome after to prove everyone that yes, he is a good artist, even on his own. His single ansi, DN-ALIVE.ALI was done after the terbium controversy started and settled. thanks. let this be a lesson to you new artists. if you rip, you will get caught, trust cavalier[eagle eyes] -/- ATZ is the official new greet of IRC, channel #ansi -/- (sliver cut) greets himself. > I hate waruhz keedies.
