Back in 1994, Malebolgia and Tek began experimenting with ansi and rip
graphics. After sometime, we began to improve and received compliments
from other artists, which inspired us. Our first group name was WiCKED,
however that has changed due to the fact that we recently heard rumors
about other groups with the same name. Based upon the Flatlinerz CD the
horror core rap inspired us to rename the group to "flatline". Several
things benifitted from this: We wouldn't be confused with other groups,
and the name would be a great theme.
[So if you see anything in the pak that says "WiCKED", just ignore it
cause we don't want to waste good artwork.]

As time progressed, we began to gain members. A few weeks after we
decided to start a group, we gained a member by the name of Death
Dealer, a personal friend of ours. He is a very creative and an excilent
freehand artist. He is still experimenting with rip, so his work will be
released in later paks. A few weeks later, we found a coder, Digital
Apocalypse, on some shareware board. Previously a member of Insurgent
Infection, he joined us and left them. Currently he is serving in the
Navy, hopefully coming back soon. Even so later, Death Dealer informed
one of his friends, Method Man, to join us. His talent in rip has prom-
ise in his improvement. Next, we aquired Hellshock... but is he a member
or not? It is undefined in that he has not released anything with us.
Likely in CiA, assuming that he has ditched us... but the all come back.
On Infinet, we found a new member, Lestat. He is a grafitti artist who
used to work in a similar medium like rip. Look around New York for his
tag, "SL". Next there is Zevo, an ACiD applicant on Loki's Error. We
requested for him and he agrred to join - to improve and to expose his
work in a rip/vga group. He takes his art seriously, shown in his work.
We will have more formal information on each individual in our
following paks.

Simple - Quality before quantity. How many times have you heard that?
The question is irrelivent... we are not asking to make a huge pak every
month, simply the best art that our members can provide.

Well, this is the promo pak and the next pak will probably be postponed
until July(unless reannounced on agoranet). This pak has been in
production since 6 months ago, therefore we have decided that we would
not include our old art - simply because our standard of art has changed.
We plan to release a rip comic, "Tempest". It is not a copy of LD! or
anything to that effect - we have had this idea for quite some time now.
Most of the script is complete and have to begin on the artwork.
Next, our appgen... we don't have one. We never got it from Digital
Apocalypse, due to his sudden call to the navy. If you make rip/vga/demos
or logos(rip or ansi), call Loki's Error and sign on with the account
WiCKED  PW: WiCKED. If that does not work, try "flatline" PW: flatline.
Simply call, E-mail Tek or Malebolgia, and we will create an account for
you. From there you can send your apps, questions, or requests... so hope
enjoy this promo pak... it took alot of work to finally put it out.
