I) Knights of Nee Intro We are the Knights we say "Nee"! Give us a shrubery or we will give you the last Mirage Compendium! J) Ugh... this is enough... Anyways, this is the last, final, numero last, ANSI pack Mirage will ever put out, unless some idiot wants to try and restart Mirage for nth time. C'mon guys, after Metal Head left, Mirage was basically on a downhill from then, right Ben?! :) . Oh well. I would put all that stuff like where we were started, when, etc etc, but that's too serious, and this is the last pack, so might as well do anything that I can get away with, and this is it. Lalala. Since there are no comic book rendering artists in Mirage, we're very sorry to disappoint those who love Chapel, Youngblood, and all those other comic characters. Sucks for you! And if this pack sucks, SO WHAT? It's out, don't ask us to do too many things at once... Why we call it 'The Final Joke'? For NO good reason, just sounds good. Look at the dedication. And no Shihear, I'm not drinking Sunny Delight now! And this doesn't mean any of us are retiring, just that the group is FINALLY, officially, no-fakin', DEAD and GONE! I'd like to retire the name, but I dunno if some idiot will use the name again. Oh well. - R.Noble ... Shadow Knight/Resinator/Ren/R.Noble/r.noble with all his crazy paragraphs. Anyone else think he's crazy or just sick of da scene? More so than me? But, hey.. he actually compiled the Compedium more or less. So, let's give a hand for his great articles, posts, and introduction/conclusions. Just had to get this last word in. Mirage has finally appeared to have faded, but only after iCE melted.. a few times. :) - Sylk/Ricochet Well it finally happened. Of course this Compendium VI has been promised since June I believe it was. Kinda sad it took this long. Of course Mirage had always just been hanging in by a thread. So today its OFFICIAL. Mirage is dead, and if anyone tells ya different he's a FOOL!!!!!!!. - Zandorf ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ Filename.MIR Description Size FileDate Time Key ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 2600MEET.ANS 2600 Meet 5748 12-19-93 22:39 - AL-SONBM Sonic Boom 7834 12-19-93 22:01 - BK-C2 C Squared 19889 9-23-93 0:22 - BK-MIR2 Mirage Logo 3521 7-28-93 2:35 - BK-TUW The Under World 3895 8-23-93 22:22 - BK-WIRED HardWired 29335 10-12-93 17:04 - BKBZ-SOH South of Hell 28061 10-10-93 14:46 + - BZ-EBLUE 'lectric Blue 3764 11-11-92 15:53 * - BZ-FON The Forest of Nee 5158 7-21-93 21:08 - BZ-GENSS Genesis 16088 8-02-93 16:00 - BZ-LOGO Mirage Logo 2626 11-08-93 15:56 - BZ-KM Korova Milkbar 17312 6-04-93 10:47 * - BZ-PENTA.ASC The Pentagon 556 11-26-93 17:41 - BZ-PENTA The Pentagon 31039 10-10-93 8:52 - KI-OUTL The Outland 276393 8-12-93 15:57 - KF-INFFM Infoform 3670 5-08-92 11:51 * - KK-FMODE Fractal Mode 3771 11-09-93 18:47 - MI-BSHIT Infinite Darkness 57025 5-18-93 17:04 + - OUT-NED .EXE Ned's Atomic Dustbin 29852 12-06-93 19:04 - PM-DARK Darkened Reality 14121 8-12-93 0:04 * - PM-RUSH RUSH : Roll the Bones 16184 9-07-93 2:53 * - RN-ATOM2 Atomic Cafe 14579 6-06-92 19:11 * - RN-IPLG InterPool 3459 10-11-92 20:00 * - RN-IRI Iridium Logo 3479 12-26-93 18:29 - RN-PG The PowerGrid 4079 12-18-93 17:41 - RN-TFED The Federation Logo 2109 12-17-93 20:30 - T2-BTUSA Banned in the USA 3040 12-05-93 9:31 - T2-CP Corrosive Poision 33664 10-24-93 3:49 - T2-CZ Channel Zero 19071 12-27-93 8:28 - T2-GOD Gates of Destiny 22914 12-23-93 2:33 - T2-LT Legato Times 13855 12-06-93 2:49 - T2-LZ Latitude Zero 2951 12-23-93 4:38 - T2-NEON NeoNet Logo 2166 11-14-93 12:38 - T2-PLOST Paradise Lost 4796 n/a n/a - T2-PSY Psychosis Logo 2263 11-14-93 12:22 - T2PSYMNU Psychosis #5 Menu 5213 11-15-93 21:42 - TC-RE Razor's Edge 18036 7-06-93 19:41 - T2-ROD2 Realm of Destruction 42206 10-02-93 18:22 - T2-SKY SkyNet 3070 12-06-93 22:26 - TC-TF Terminal Frost 12709 8-03-93 20:29 - TD-IRID Iridium Logo 2979 8-10-93 10:59 - TD-RAM RAM Logo 2162 8-04-93 3:54 - VI-DRZC Death Row 2236 12-16-93 11:38 - VI-MIR Mirage Logo 2283 12-30-93 22:04 - ZD-TRIC TRiC Logo 3212 8-19-93 15:43 - HARMLESS.COM Mirage Virus!! 131 12-30-93 10:58 @ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ AL - Apocalyptic Lord BK - Bad Karma BZ - Beez KI - Killer KF - Kafka Kierkgaard KK - Kaska F.

Kaska : Can't say it wasn't fun eh? - Ricochet : It's over! It's over! - G.Washington : How's boot camp? btw, Mirage is gone. :) - Beez : God, leave the group for Tribe?! Oh well, have fun. Amy rules... - Metal Head : You Mirage killer! You sadistic, necrophiliac! You sicko! ... I guess I can join iCE now. btw, A's rule. - Shihear K : Hey d00d. - Deep Freeze : hmph... I don't know you. But I know your PW on Corrosive Poison! Muahaha!! - Zandorf : Judgement Something eh? Crack? Forget it! - Tempus : BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM ... - Black Ire : Pongee! Legacy was great, BUT it should've been Mirage! ah well. hi. - Midnight S : uh... wonder why I put that... uh.. hi! - Terminator2 : Can't believe ya stayed so long, thanks man. - Crushed Ice : - Voivod : Sorry for the short stay. - Everyone else : Hi. Ricochet - Kaska F. Kaska : So, is this the end of yer ground? W/ it all started out as PAC 51O - > ELiTE - > PE? Well, don't think that those will never appear.. - Ren/Resinator : Welp, looks like this is it. I never was part of the rise of Mirage but viewed it as it did from BART on up. Too bad, but it happens, doesn't it? ..but hey, look, I told you you'd reach the stage I did.. u just reached it later. You'll reach the next one which is what I was at a few months ago soon enough.. SaLaD '93! - Zandorf : So is this what happens then? Too much work? I told you you'd burn out. The people within the group are the people that really run it; that's where the enthusiasm and dedication come from. It comes from you originally, but w/o any backup, a group goes nowhere.. good luck w/ anything you do in the future my friend.. - Terminator2 : I hope you find a place in the art scene because you sure are improving and can be made to be an excellent artist, with the right people to guide you. Good luck. - Kinslayer : Dude, why u so interested in all this now?! It's all been "played out". Exactly. Thaaanks. Puh-leaze. Pace. So yer board is expected any day now. BTW: U still suck at Mortal Kombat 2, teacha' berry. - Rad Man Dude : Hey, you still interested in what was discussed on IRC? - Midnight Sorrow: CCi looks good. Not great, but good. Keep up the work, enforce a bit more, and perhaps it'll be like it was 2 years ago. - InterPooL fans : There might be a network under 10 bases soon but even smaller than what IP was. Perhaps. - Adrenalin fans : Look out for an issue and stop applying damnit. To the scene, we are inactive, but we are still in production when we get the time. But hey, it'll sure be nice when issue three hits da fan. - Everyone else : Lah, nine-qua in 'da house now. Can't we all rag so the scene will even suck more? Zandorf - R.Noble : Hey too bad things didn't work out. I appreciate all the help, but ricochet is right thats its the group that makes it what it is. Without dedication from everyone it never works. Good luck in iCE!. - Ricochet : Thanks for letting Mirage use InterPooL, it sure saved Mirage alot of time. Still appears the communication problem never got solved, however I don't blame that as the entire problem. stay in touch.. late. - Slammer : Hey man don't worry about it. It was bound to happen someday. A little unexpectedly soon, but ya guys in the 516 Area code helped out alot, it looked like that was the only thing going on.. too bad.. - Deep Freeze : Thanks for your advice, and help. Sorry VODs merger with Mirage didn't work out. I don't think I'm interested in Strating another Group right now. My life is tooo busy good luck with CRaCK or whatever ya do... - Sly Boy : Hey don't worry what other people say about ya. Ya don't Move up in the world by making enemys. Also thanks for your help with Mirage. I know ya really wanted it to work out. keep in touch.. - Pnakotic : You were right from the beggining. Hope the switch over have the quality!!. - To T2, Beez, Bad Karma and the rest of the crew. I appreciate ya guys sticking in the way ya did. The dedication ya showed Mirage is beyond words. I know ya guys have a bright future in the Art world if ya stick it out. I wish ya guys all luck.. late ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ "Mirage, the art that excites you ... " - Metal Head [ex-Mirage] "Mirage, we have more ANSIs then brains!" - Dar S [LONG time ago d00d] "If you think you can't draw and have no talent, you can still be iCE Senior Staff!" - Rasitlin [ex-Mirage] "And you can be in Senior Staff if you can draw really good women!" - MH "Lamer." - Shihear Kallizad [ex-Mirage] "Shihear smells like cat urine." - Metal Head & Rasitlin [ex-Mirage] "Mirage, the kind of word Jed can't pronoune." - Rasitlin [ex-Mirage] "" - G.Washington "I love you Charles." - The Lord God Xerobe, Dan "The Man" "I'm gonna piss in your skull!" - Metal Head Imitation of R.Noble [ex-Miragi] "When I was in Mirage, I said,'Here I am! Here I am Ren!' 'Scat boy, you annoy me.'" - Rasitlin, commenting the old Mirage [ex-Mirage] "Necromancer is a Nazi!" - Rasitlin [ex-Mirage] "Touch the breasts to exit." - R.Noble [ex-Mirage] * NOTE : Rasitlin has denied he was ever in Mirage. ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ So where does leave Mirage? Nowhere. Bad Karma and Terminator2 joined ACiD, Beez left to TRiBE, Kaska and Ricochet don't really care because the scene sucks, and Zandorf and Deep Freeze are scheming for some new group . As far as I know, those are the only members that did anything. Me? Who knows. Who cares. Mirage was fun to have around and now it's gone. Oh well. I wish everyone would release packs like this one :) ... - r.noble pft. And if you're wondering why we/I released the pack with no compression, it's because we/I wanted to make the last pack the biggest Mirage Compendium and this was the only way to do it! ...
