voiz, who all of you thought left the scene, is really here to stay with emerge. he will not be joining any other groups under any circumstances, he is in emerge for fun, and fun only. he did some really cool shit for this pack. check it out.bigge pif also joined the emerge ansi ranks this month. he did us one rad pic, and he's also a canadien! wo0o! i can't wait for the next emerge conf, where voiz and bigge pif can make fun of the master in french so he won't understand. ah well, the rest of us will just have to keep making fun of harvey to his face like we've been doing :> .. also coming to the ansi dept this month was reflexion. he is very good at fonts , and he's getting better at pics. we also brough in phatal this month. he's in a lot of other groups at the moment, and he gave us one ansi for the pack. we hope to see more of his work in future packs. and of course, we brought cable to emerge in this pack! he unforunately has only joinedus for ansi, but that's enough for now. unfortunately none of cable's work was able to be included in this month's pack. hopefully next month will be his monthto release! :> in the ascii dept this month we've had several new members join. mr. popeil came over from illness, and he showcases his font skills in his two stack files.he's a damn good fontist, and a cool guy. he also runs a rad board with turtle of ice, check it out. of course dr. chug joins us from cia. nuff said. shakti of quad-p joins emerge ascii. shakti has a really cool style, and did a lot of shit for my e-mag, golden arches. we hope to see him continue to produce like hehas. suburban terrorist and rezolution joined emerge's lit department this month. as well, mojo of eden came over to do lit with emerge. unfortunately, terminal velocity, our ex-lit head, has left the group to pursue his career withcia. we wish him the best. epidemic also joined our ascii department, and he already has two k-spiff asciis ready to go. i think that's all the new members, if i forgot anybody, shoot me. oh yeah, tripe quit emerge, then re-joined, and now isn't sure what he's doing. but he's releasing with us this month again, as for next month, who knows. this has really been a great month for emerge. i hope to see emerge grow as it has over this last month every month. i think we will prove a lot of people wrong with this pack. although i may not continue to be a senior for emerge next month, i hope this group stays around and kicks some ass, whether or not i am. i think it will. special thanks go to data ruckus. many of you know data ruckus as dr_emerge on irc. he is one of the coolest guys i've met in the scene,and i hope he continues in emerge. he, and just about everybody else in emerge know that without him, emerge would DEFINITELY not be where they are today. his telecom and other low-key but appreciated things he's done for us are invaluable also this month emerge kicked off it's new e-mag koded by yours truly, golden arhces! check it out, the latest issue of it is in this pack. it features a lot of emerg's ascii artists' art. well, that's about it from me for this month. laterz..   - euphoria eric.jaffe%wdl@cjbbs.com ep_emerge or ep^emerge on irc   Well, this emerge pack looks nice =) I guess everyone that said we'd suck can eat thier words at this point =) Heh .. well, enough gloating for now =) ... This month emerge is looking a lot better. We've got an ansi division that is looking nice this month, a nicer ascii division, and a da best telcom division (but you guys dont see that, eh?). Well, also this month, Erebus's damn 800 went down at _the_ worst time it possibly could, killing communication at the end of the month, so right now Euphoria is running around like a nut (thanks eric, the group needs ya =) Well, i don't know if Saint Sinner is going to discuss this, but i would like to talk for a second about the Apathy/Emerge merge, if you would like to call it that =) Apathy was a small group that Saint Sinner and I (borys) were starting to form. We were starting to pick up some _nice_ members and get going. On my board, euphoria was trying to get a distro site off of me, and after a while of chatting, he wanted to possibly merge. SS and I were wary about this, since the group we had both just left, eden was killed by a merge. Well, Euphoria gave us both the info for the emerge conference right after there first pack (which i will agree sucked). After looking at the pack, i was really just planning on tell euph that we weren't interested. Well, after six or so hours, we were definitely merging. All of the emerge seniors were cool, and they seemed like people i could (and have) get along with. Eup is a tireless senior, always doing some progect or another, Harv (the master) is pretty cool with public relations and shit like that. SS and I, the two new  seniors both have our own niches too. SS got the ansi division jumpstarted, and i've done my own public rela- tions thing =) Well, thats about all of the emerge bullshit for this month that i can think of that eric hasn't already put in. I'd like to mention a few non-emerge-related things at this point, since a few people are prolly bored and reading to this point =) Is it just me or did almost every 800 bbs go down last week? All of the ones i know of except Malfeas did ... hmm is the phone company catching on finally? Oh well, i'd also like dive to try and contact me if he could, we had some unfinished business going on before the 800's crashed =) Oh well latah's to all.  -b0!  Another great thing happened since the first pack, Rezolution is back. (He used to be known as "Dreldragon," the founder of broken.) I would like to thank him for coming back. If it wasn't for Rezolution, Broken would have never begun and Emerge would have never existed. If it wasnt for him, i wouldn't have gotten interested in the art scene. Thanks Dan. I also wanted to welcome Saint Sinner and Borys as seniors. They really brought us great talent and will be major contributors as seniors in emerge. Basically thats all, Euphoria covered everything else:)  The Master [Senior Staff] master@cybercom.com    .. . (eof mofo) . .. SAUCEouemerge may info file euphoria/borys/the mh
