It's 10:34 or 9:34 am (d aylight ÞÛÛÝ saving thing is still throwing me off) on octobe r 30th, and I just got ÞÛ ÛÝ home from a rave. It'll be  a while until I come down enough to sleep, °  °Ý so, like, why not start this damned nfo file?   ±Û Thinks started  out okay last night, me, Hound, and another friend of ÛÛ m ine were all late to get to our appointed meeting spot, so we ended up  ÞÛ° on time. We took the bus to the location, met up wi th some other ravers ÞÛÛÝ and followed them there. We got  there around 9:55pm, and proceeded to ÞÛÛ wait two hour s for them to finish setting up and let us in. The location Û ÛÝ was pretty cool, a warehouse (my local rave seen SUCKS big tim e; it's °ÛÝ not often that they have the fo resight to actually rent out a warehouse Û°Ý  for us) and it was a few blocks away from any residential areas.   ÞÛÛÝ Anyways, while we were waiting, I proceeded to drop  one of my contacts ÛÛÝ (we found it later though) and w e watched the cops go by a few times. ÞÛ° For  all of you fellow ravers who were contacts, try going wearing  ÞÛÛÝ only one... ITS FUCKING WICKED AS HELL! Amazing.. I'm g oing to go like ÞÛ Û that from now on.. Anyways, a s izable crowd showed up (a few Þ°ÛÝ  hundred), about 5 times more than the last rave I had gone to. All I c an ÛÛÝ say is last night was an amazing night, prolly the  best rave Ottawa has ÞÛÛ ever seen, or at least, the best  local rave I've ever gone to. ÞÛÛÝ The cops  never came back, and the rave went on until it ended. This ÞÛÛ  is prolly the first rave I've been to in '94 that wasn't shut do wn by ÞÛÛß some authority figure between 3-5am.. we left  the place about two hours Û°Ý ago, before  the after-rave party started, and had our usual breakfast at ÞÛ ° McDicks before heading home.   °Û I had a lot of fun.   ÞÛÛÝ    ÞÛ ÛÝ Okay, I suppose I should mention the group shi t now, just to be ° °Ý  fair, eh? In the past month we changed a lot of things. From now on,   ±Û when we are putting the memberlist togeth er we just take a gander at all ÛÛ the artwork in this pa ck, and the previous pack, and write down the ÞÛ°  names of all the contributing artists. If your name isn't on the   ÞÛÛÝ memberlist, don't fret, it doesn't mean you're out  of the group, it just ÞÛÛ means we didn't have any submis sions from you in the past two months. Û ÛÝ There's  what, 1440 hours in two months? It isn't that hard to find a few  °ÛÝ hours to do something.   Û°Ý Oh, not e to the foolios: If you've been with Union for more than two ÞÛÛ Ý months, and you've never done anything for the group, well.. you 're ÛÛÝ outta here. Feel free to reapply. Becoming a  member in a group implies ÞÛ° that you do somethin g with/for it, not sit around and just sign your ÞÛÛÝ n ame with the group.   ÞÛ Û I got my hair cut. Not too much though, just  the sides and back. Þ°ÛÝ I'm also tir ed of calling people up for their work. It's been quite ÛÛÝ  a while since I phreaked regularly, and ... well.. trying to get  in ÞÛÛ contact with n amount of members, 75% of which  aren't home, or haven't ÞÛÛÝ done anything can raise the  bill at the end of the month quite a bit. ÞÛÛ So, to m ake thinks simple, if you have something done, SEND IT TO US.  ÞÛÛß Don't sit around and wait forever for us to call you.   Û°Ý To make the process of  sending in artwork easier, I've picked five ÞÛ °  boards to be "drop sites" where artists can leave their work and that  °Û I'll call on the 30th or whatever and  pick it up for them. Here they ÞÛÛÝ are:   ÞÛ ÛÝ  Flatlined Reality  World HQ 613-824-7375   Ontario, Canada ° °Ý   Packaged Rebellion US HQ 408-246-0281 Cal ifornia, US ±Û Terra Firma    Western HQ 714-963-4851* California, US  ÛÛ   714-963- 4972* ÞÛ° Jello I nsanity  Central HQ 708-420-0587 Chicago, US   ÞÛÛÝ Harvest Moon  Eastern HQ 216 -951-7059 Ohio, US ÞÛÛ   Û Û Ý * Temporarily holding the position until KooL get E xiled Race back up °ÛÝ He's got a compute r again, but still no modem. Û° Ý   ÞÛÛÝ To make things simpler, we're in t he process of setting up an ÛÛÝ account (Union, pas sword Union) for you to upload work and apps to on ÞÛ°  each of these boards. As of the moment I'm writing this I know th e ones ÞÛÛÝ on Flatlined Reality and Harvest Moon work. If  the board closest to you ÞÛ Û is down, or you can't  connect with it, or it's fucked up, or whatever, Þ° ÛÝ you can call one of the other boards. If you've never called  ld before, ÛÛÝ you might want to check with your phone c ompany to see what long ÞÛÛ distance rates they of fer you. Most companies give 50-70% off of all ld ÞÛÛÝ cal ls during low activity hours (typically 11pm-6am). It'll prolly cost  ÞÛÛ you somewhere under a $1 if you know what you're doing.  ÞÛÛß If you're on the net, you can se nd uuencode zip files to Û°Ý ap4 44@freenet.carleton.ca : if you do not have a copy of  ÞÛ ° uuencode/uudecode, bug your local internet g urus until they give you °Û one. If you h ave irc/dcc access, and you can upload to your account ( ÞÛÛÝ  :), you can send your work to SubmitBot. As of yet, the bot isn't  up, ÞÛ ÛÝ but it will be as soon as md figures out  how to untar on satelnet. If ° ° Ý SubmitBot ain't there, look for "Neurotic" or "md" on irc . You might ±Û want to do a /whois nick a nd make sure we're the union foolios before ÛÛ you sen d it to us.  ÞÛ°   ÞÛÛÝ If you've taken a look at  the pack already, you'll have noticed that ÞÛÛ there ain't  no site listings. This is cuz, well, site listings implies Û ÛÝ that you have sites. The only two non-member affiliated boards  we have °ÛÝ are Tramotane and Eternal Insan ity. No others. And we won't have any Û°Ý  more, cuz we don't give a fuck who you are, we aren't giving out any   ÞÛÛÝ sites. There isn't a member board listing anymore,  cuz, well, what's the ÛÛÝ point really? If you're a member , and you run a board, you're a member ÞÛ° board.  It's that simple. If you'd want your board to be advertised as a  ÞÛÛÝ member board in the member list, get a hold of Neurotic , and gimmie ÞÛ Û your board name and number(s).   Þ°ÛÝ  You may notice we don't have an app generator. Big deal. If you wa nt ÛÛÝ to apply to the group, it's pretty simple. First, f igure out what ÞÛÛ position you want to apply for.  Ansi artists, vga dudes, and musicians ÞÛÛÝ only, please.  Then take a look at the guys in the group who do the same ÞÛÛ  thing as you. If you're somewhat better than who you perceive to  be the ÞÛÛß worst one, then continue applying, otherwise,  well.. don't waste your Û°Ý time and our  time. ÞÛ ° Then zip up a collection of what you feel is your be st stuff, along °Û with a short text file th at says something of you, your past, and why ÞÛÛÝ you wa nt to join. Then get it to us via one of the drop sites or  ÞÛ ÛÝ internet, as I mentioned way up there.   ° °Ý   There is one exception to the no coders rule, if you have some good   ±Û s3m routines (as good as future crew's mu sic disk player, except that ÛÛ they use ems so you do n't have that damned 640k conventional memory ÞÛ°  barrier like mdp does), can do notedots (like in st3 and fcmdp), beat  ÞÛÛÝ bars, simple vga displaying (cool effects would be  a bonus), and vector ÞÛÛ points, then APPLY NOW! WE NEED  YOU! PLEASE! NOW! HURRY! Û ÛÝ Cod ers who are on internet or are willing to call long distance  °ÛÝ only, please.   Û°Ý The rea son for this is we want to do a REAL music disk. We're ÞÛÛ Ý postponing the scheduled november music disk indefinately (well. . until ÛÛÝ december or january) in hopes of getting this  done. Any musicians out ÞÛ° there who can do goo d techno that I will like, will be welcomed to union ÞÛÛÝ w ith open arms. S3M format only, please. We don't put a size limit on   ÞÛ Û music disks, so anything goes.   Þ°Û Oh  yeah, we have no viewer. We don't really care. Not having one   ÞÛÛÝ means the pack will be smaller each month, and there w ill be one less Û°Ý for Whisper.ff to pop  into. :). I mean, by now everyone in the scene has ÛÛÝ pu t at least one viewer they like on their path, and use it instead of  ÞÛÛ the one that comes with the pack. Sure, the dudes who a ren't into art at ÞÛÛ all probably don't do it, but that j ust means that they probably won't Û Û bother looki ng at our packs, which means less harassment from the shits  °ÛÝ who know nothing about the scene.   ÞÛ° Use TribeView,  prolly the best viewer in the scene. Until SiDS' new ÞÛÛ  acidview comes out. :)   ÛÛÝ   ÛÛÝ Concerning UnionNet, it is now  open to non-site/member boards under ÞÛ Û the condit ions that at least one member from the group must vouch for Þ ± °Ý your board being a cool boar d to have in the net and that one or more Þ°Û  group members use your board to post from regularly. If there is  a ÞÛÛß particularly high amount of stupid posts comi ng from your system you Û°Ý will be remo ved from the net. ÞÛ °   °Û Okay, well.. on to th e member list changes. Neurosis (action figure ÞÛÛÝ coder  guy) left the scene. He just doesn't have time for it with school  ÞÛ ÛÝ and all that. I few people thought that I (Neuroti c) had said I was ° °Ý  leaving the group. People always get us two confused. Oh yeah, for SCast er ±Û and the other morons who bitched at me be cause I didn't do them an ansi, ÛÛ I NEVER SAID I WOULD!  That was Neurosis! Learn how to read a fucking aliasÞÛ°  for christ's sake!   ÞÛ ÛÝ Cheese Grater left us for iCE right befor e we put out last months °ÛÝ pack, unfortun ately we were not notified of this until after we saw his Û °Ý work in the iCE pack, otherwise we would have mention ed something last ÞÛÛÝ month. He stated that he felt we w ere more ansi oriented than vga ÛÛÝ oriented, and t hat his vgas would fit in more with iCE or something like ÞÛ ° that as his reason for leaving.   ÞÛÛÝ Pinion left our music department for A CiD's. This really didn't come ÞÛ Û as a surprise to m e since Somms' was the one who introduced Pinion to Þ° ÛÝ Union. Somms' giveth and Somms' taketh. :). Pinion's gonna t ry to wake ÛÛÝ up ACiD's underworked music division and  they have some projects planned ÞÛÛ for the future.   ÞÛÛÝ    ÞÛÛ On to the good news... wOaH... my mum was about to  throw out a bunch ÞÛÛß of records and I managed to get a ch ance to look at them ahead of time Û°Ý and  save a few of them. The Village People, The Bee-Gees, Saterday Night  ÞÛ ° Fever, and some other disco tunes.. I'm set.  wOaHý! I can mix my cds in °Û with them too ! Star6,7,8,9 + Macho Man at 33 = cool! Oh yeah, there's ÞÛÛÝ  some new dudes in the group too.   ÞÛ ÛÝ Okay, well, first of all, Breed disba nded and from it comes Ogre doing ° ° Ý ansi and Bloodlust doing vga. From Tribe comes Minor Thre at, Hellspawn, ±Û Asylum, Magnus and AcidFla sh. From the ashes of Nation comes Replay, ÛÛ Cyberna ry and Leonard0. For all you dudes who can remember from  ÞÛ° waaaaaaaaaaay back when, Cybernary was one of the  original guys who ÞÛÛÝ founded Union before he got a  mAjOr bAcKbIlL. ÞÛÛ I find  it slightly amusing that Maestro and TafkaSK left the scene Û ÛÝ at more or less the same time, and that they're both probably  going to °ÛÝ go into the comic book field as  a profession. :) Û°Ý  Also new to the group this month is Boa, the logo wonder boy. You   ÞÛÛÝ may have seen his work before in the various BOA-*. ZIP logo packs he ÛÛÝ released. Welp, he's solo no lon ger. ÞÛ° Gue ss who else joined Union this month? QUR'AN! YES! THAT DAMNED  ÞÛÛÝ TWINGLER IS NOW WITH UNION! He basically goes around an d recru.. uh.. ÞÛ Û acts as a mascot for the group.  Yeah, that's it. :). He can be reached, Þ°ÛÝ  as always, on Harvest Moon.   ÛÛÝ As you may notice from the list of new guys thi s month, we are ÞÛÛ TRYING to stay away from recruit ing every tom, dick, and harry from ÞÛÛÝ other groups.  I know how much I get pissed off when someone tries to ÞÛÛ  recruit people from Union, and I don't want to do it to anyone e lse. We ÞÛÛß probably still will though. :). So, if you th ink you might be interested Û°Ý in joining u s, don't wait there with your dick in your hand for us to ÞÛ ° invite you to join. Reach for the .. uh.. gold. Apply.   °Û   ÞÛÛÝ Ex cuses for the latest of this pack are in the following order:  ÞÛ ÛÝ Oct 29th: Going to a rave, as if I'm going to  call up people for ° °Ý   their work.   ±Û Oct 30th: Raving and sleeping for the  rest of the day. Tried calling ÛÛ some guys,  but they weren't home. We killed a few calling cardsÛ°  doing this.   ÞÛÛÝ Oct 31st: It's halloween, as if anyone's gonna  be home and stuff. ÞÛÛ Nov 1st: (now) going out to  see Stargate tonight.. that is if Trev Û ÛÝ   ever calls me.. WHERE ARE YOU MOFO!?!?!@@!#!@ *   °ÛÝ Nov 2nd: Hey, I had to sauce eve rything, zip it up, etc, that takes Û°Ý   time, okay?  ÞÛÛ   ÞÛÛÝ * He never did call me.
