·■ Visions of Reality Information Packet·■ August Pack, Nineteen Nighty-FourHere, once again, is the Visions of R
eality pack.  The Visionsof Reality pack is a representative of the artwork that has been madeas advertisements for boards by Vision
s of Reality members.  The packhas been going out monthly, ever since fall of '93.  The pack is onlya represetative of the artwork t
hat has been used as advertisements,and all work by artists may or may not be included.  Now, for a fewtidbits of what has gone on
in the group recently:■ Late last month (that would be June), several members of theformer LIGHT came over to VOR.  Tec
hnically this was not a merge,although, around 9 members have come over from the former LIGHT.  Wedid merge with a group last mont
h, but the details were very sketchyat the time, for it happened at the very end of the month.  This groupwas iLLEGAL F/X (iFX), a
nother local group in our area consisting ofvery good artists.  A rundown of who joined each indivual section, canbe found later in th
is file.  Raistlin Majere (no, not the iCE one, <g>)from the area code 615 has also joined VOR.  He will be doing VGA Artwork,RIP Artwor
k, and ANSI logos.■ Under the iFX merger, the member system of VOR has changed.Shadowdancer was to represent iFX as a
VOR leader and I was to be theother VOR leader.  After some thinking, it was decided that having two
leaders with a senior council under them of three people would not
work, due to some serious split decisions that could occour due to a
1-1 dispute between the two 'leaders'.  The system was changed due to
this, and VOR has now has no 'Leader', but instead, the council was
expanded to include myself (Widow Maker), Shadowdancer, Hollow Point,
and Venom.  Then we got to thinking again.  A four member council that
would vote on all decisions could still cause split decisions (2-2).
The next step was to add another member into the council.  It was
unaminously voted in as the only 4-member council vote of VOR to let
Ace of Northwall, RAW Head (VOR Music), into the council to represent
the music.

Specifics:

As you probably figured out before, prior to the merge with
iFX, and the addition of members from the former LIGHT, our ANSI
section was quite weak.  Hollow Point was our strongest artist, and he
would cough out three or four ansis to go into a pack that would
appear to boost the ANSI section, while Tommy Lee, Starbuck, and the
occasional ANSI by Dark Wolf, Asterix, or other multi-talented people
put in a few ANSIs.  Before, we could honestly not AFFORD quality
control in the ANSI section, and sometimes, an ANSI was put into the
pack that was not the greatest.  Now, we have the addition of Lord
Scarlet, Silver Rat, Forego, Murcurochrome, Scythe, Thunderhawk, and
Shatterstar, as well as logos by Raistlin Majere.  This should greatly
help the size of the ANSI section, and should allow us to have some
quality control on what goes into the pack.  Welcome to all of the new
ANSI artists.

In the VGA division, a few members were added to section.
The VGA section, though small, is probably still our strongest
section.  It had already included Venom, Dark Wolf, Muttonhead, and
myself, but now would have Chaos, Fat Ass, Pluto, Shadowdancer,
Calypso, and Ackman added to it.

Due to the merge, a minor change was inflicted in the Coding
Division.  Sinister Outlaw is now the Coding Head of the Coding
section.  The coding section previously including only Asterix and
Lief O'Pardy as main coders (with additional help from Dark Wolf) was
expanded to include Lord X, Warveth Windrose, Pluto, Thunderhawk, and
Sinister Outlaw.  In Coding news, Illuminate, our viewer, has been
severly updated to include SVGA modes of viewing, RIP support,
documentation, and a few cosmetic changes.

The lit section gained a few members as well.  The lit
section, headed by Arturius Pendragon, includes the old members
(Apothecary, Felyne, Alexa), as well as Murcurochrome, Grey Mouser, and
Ralgoth.

We are starting a RIP division.  It is headed by Raistlin
Majere, and Shatterstar & Silverrat are experimenting with RIP.  We
would really appreciate RIP artists if you wish to apply.

Our courier section is VERY weak, and we are still looking
for couriers.  We supposedly have a group couriering for us, but we
think they are dead, as they never contact us. :)  We have three
indivuals couriering for us, Sebastian, Entropy, Pericles.  Desolated
Dream has also decided to give us a hand with obtaining couriers for
VOR.  Any couriers out there reading this -- we need you. :)

Alright, here's where I tell you where you can contact any
of the members.  Any member can basically be found at Seminole Winds,
our WHQ.  The number for that is (301) 236-9030, and to get on, enter
'VOR' as your alias, with no password necessary.  Most members can
also be reached through the internet at <alias>@arcanum.clark.net
(i.e. dark.wolf@arcanum.clark.net, venom@arcanum.clark.net, or
arturius.pendragon@arcanum.clark.net).  The senior members of VOR can
be reached through the irc (nicks: venom, northwall, etc etc) as well
as some indivual artists (nicks: lordScar, ralgoth, art_penny etc etc).
You can find them in the IRC in channels #vor, #ansi, #acid, or #ice
(Oh yeah, in emergencies, Hollow Point can be found lurking around
in channels #gaysex and #youngboys).  Any of the senior members can
be reached at eliphas@clark.net as well.  We now have a Voice Mail Box,
but we have to set up a message and make sure it works first.  We'll
get the number to you A.S.A.P.  Again, though, the quickest way toget the number to you A.S.A.P.  Again, though, the quickest way to
reach any member of VOR would be by simply calling the WHQ.
