Futile Newz

Part 1 by Whodini [FUTiLE/VORPiL]

Dear Mom,
Welp, after a Wig release, 1000 flames, and disco.. here is the Futile
packet.  Omot and I have been put'n Futile on our ansis, so I figured I'd just
put in some junk about where we all got started from.

It all started when I had sex with ostscout's mother.  Out pooped
Ostscout.... Ooops.. wrong story.

It all started when I was actually publishing my lit.  Echo, Totemo,
and I were all together in a group called PaGE (People and Gods Endowed) that
was a lit-only group.  Welp, the lit scene started to grow right after we were
formed, and the scene was flooded with insane-wannabe poetry.  Echo decided to
pack up his lit bags.  I lose contact with Totemo. That Leaves me.  On the otherside we have TUBE.  Run by the ever-famous Omot.  His group, much like mine,
had only one working member.. Him.  So, I talked to him on the phone, and we
decided to be elite and merge.  After a few names.. Boom.. FUTiLE is born.  Ok,
so all the people who thought they were in TUBE come into FUTiLE, and Omot and Itell them they either do some shit, or boom.  I think thats about that same timethe group quickly grew to 2 members.  Omot and I.  I decided that the lit scene
was a peice of dog shit, 2-3 groups were pumping out decent lit.  The rest was
crap.  I had worked on Ansi before, and gotten good at it, just never really
followed it up because of lack of time.  I was a Hack/Phreack person, along witha lit person.  I couldn't just say "Hey, lets do ansi also!", I'd produce the
same shit that was goin' out in the lit scene if I tried publish all 3.  So I
started doing ansi.  Omot was producing some dope ass shiznit artwork, and aftera while, I was doing the same.  FUTiLE was put on all our ansis.  I applied to
RELiC, didn't get accepted.  So I stuck around.  Here I am, doing ansi for one
of the most prestigous groups in the country.  Two members, now THAT is presti-
gous.  After RELiC didn't accept me, I realized that I still had alot of work
to be done before I could truly be an ansi god.  Unfortunately, I'm lazy.  So
I'm an ansi peasent.  Thats alright, cuz if you compare me to the rest of the
614 people, I am Zeus, sitting on Mount Eliteness, ruling over all the other
gods.

Really Though, work'n w/ a 2 man group is really nice.  Very relaxed.
A little competitive.  You don't have to worry about 'group communication', justpost your newest works on Inner Tube (The remaining ashes of TUBE, FUTiLE WHQ),
and then go about your business.  Gave me a chance to learn from Omot's
mistakes, and masterpeices.  No bullshit, no apps, no sites, no members, no
packs, and no feuds between members.  So WTF are we missing?  We've got the
elite name, the talented artists, the neato WHQ, and the elite FILE_ID.DIZ!
This is how all groups should be run!

Omot:  FUTiLE will never die.
H.P. Hovercraft: Yo' G money, I've worn that saying out.
Echo:  I am god, bow in my presence.
GreepFreek:  Stick around, maybe some day we will have three members.
/┤CiD, iCE, TRiBE, CiA, NATiON, UNiON, and all the other groups w/ a small
i in their name:
No, we will not be assimilated, resistance is futile.  Leave me alone.  No, you
can not join FUTiLE.  Omot and I will rule the world before you guys die.
VooDoo Child, ASYLUM, BLADE, and Psychosis (Sorry, but VooDoo is elite..):
Uh.. Hi.  Keep the lit come'n out.  I may not be around to show ya'll how its
done, but I feel for ya'll.  You take alot of shit from people like me.

Part 2 by Omot [FUTiLE]

Hello world.  It's me, Omot, co/founder of that one art group, Futile
or something.  I guess, you've already heard Whodini's side of the story, so
I won't bore you with mine :)
We're just your average ol' two-man local Acid-quality [Hehe] group.
Which reminds me, if you actually want to join [How'd that happen?], then you
can either find either of us or wait until the next pack [if there's a next]
and utilize our sure-to-be-groovy app, which couldn't be coded in time for
this release [Hey, assembly isn't really known for fast coding].  Sure, we
suck, but don't take *my* word for it, look at the rest of the damn pack :)
"If you've never heard of us, you aren't as /<-r4|> as you thought."
Either that, or you don't live in 614/C'lumbus or listen to our faint pleas
for acceptance.
The reason is... I dunno.  We're just a real laid-back [meaning we'll
lay just about anyone] group, out to have a little fun.  I know Acid and Ice
are trembling in fear as the era of the Futile revolution dawns and that's why
we purposely make our ansis not look so good :)
All groups should be like this, absolutely no deadlines whatsoever at
all [This is our first release since we started putting "Futile" at the end
of our sigs a few months ago], no pressure, and *great* member-to-member
communication [We can get our whole group in a teleconference faster than you
can say ATDT].
Futile, FUTiLE, FuTiLe, FTL, Ftl, futile, FUTILE, howevertheheck you
write it, that's us your talking about.
