Hey, all.  Tron, here. What a kick-ass month!  I'll get rightÛ
to it.  First of all, we'd like to welcome Ground Zero to the SeniorÛ
Û    Staff.  We are very confident that his knowledge of the scene andÛ
Û    excellent organizational skills will push this group to a much higher
Û    level.  Glad to have ya, GZ!  Also, we welcome newcomers to the group,   Û
Û    Maniac, who we met from Paranoia Mag alliances, Dark Shadows as ourÛ
Û    teleconferencing specialist (also from Paranoia), Mandor, who we metÛ
Û    from the Dissident merge (I'll get to that later), and a newcomer toÛ
Û    scene, Sluje, who has wonderful potential as you will see in thisÛ
Û    pack.  Welcome, all new members!Û
ÛThe Turbine Art Couriers have been added as our official
couriering service.  We can't thank you guys enough for spreadingÛ
Û    our stuff around.  Let us know if we can return the favor! Also, we've   Û
Û    dropped a few boards from our sitelist.  If your board does not appear   Û
Û°   on our list, we either decided that you didn't offer anything to theÛ
Û±°  group, or you gave us enough attitude to remove you.  If you'd likeÛ
Û²±° to debate this, we are reasonable people.  Contact any Senior StaffÛ
Û±°  member, but I should mention that we voted on each board, this month.    Û
Û°   On a negative note, I was laid off this month.  Good for the group,°Û
Û    bad for me.  I only mention it here so noone weirds out over my°±Û
Û    high production this month.  Also, FinalNet is becoming the official  °±²Û
net of the CiA.  Any interested parties should fill out the app.°±²Û
Okay, now to the meat.  Kronos (formerly of ACiD, now with°±Û
Û    Gothic..also, a personal favorite of mine) did some really nice°Û
Û    articles this month in Iridium.  The subject matter of one articleÛ
Û°   is worth mentioning here again.  Some of you may have heard that CiAÛ
Û±°  was working on a merger with Dissident (aka LTD - /2?? The Revision?)    Û
Û°   Well, this merger did take place.  I must clear up some factsÛ
Û    concerning the merger that were mentioned or assumed in Iridium (aÛ
Û    very fine mag.).  No Carrier said we came to him, this is untrue butÛ
Û    not a big deal.  The name Dissident name was not going to stick, weÛ
Û    were going to stay CiA.  But the main reason I mention this, we hadÛ
Û    no idea of No Carrier's reputation as an ansi hacker.  We had someÛ
Û    rumors get to us after the merge, and then the Iridium article byÛ
Û    Kronos reaffirmed this point.  Enough so, that a few of us got together
Û    and went through his stuff, comparing to old ansi packs from severalÜ
Û    groups, iCE, ACiD, GRiP/AD, GRiM, Valiant, AAi. . . hell, he even got
Û    one from my old group, ACE!  Out of 34 ansis, we FOUND 17 hacks!  Now,   Û
Û    I really don't like ragging on people, and I tend to be a disbeliever    Û
Û    of rumors, but we created a pack of his ansis, and each oneÛ
Û    individually is followed by the originals.  The proof is undeniable.
Ü    I heard many people say LTD/Dissident is a bunch of lame hackers.  Two
ß    reasons I mention this.  I felt a need to clear our name of this mess,   Û
Û    and the other, you should not judge an entire group by the actionsÛ
Û    of one guy.  Not all of us have been around since Jesus was drawing
ansis.  So, we may miss some here and there (remember the hack Kronos    Û
mentioned that got into the ACiD pack??).  If you spot an ansi in any    Û
Û    group, tell the Senior Staff, and the user will be dealt with.  Hacking  Û
is lame, you will get caught!
ÛWith that behind us, I think you'll agree this is a kick-ass
ß    pack with some great improvements over our previous work.  AnyoneÛ
ß    interested in joining, grab our application generator (thanks, Sudden    Û
ß    Death!)  Later. . .Û
