Part 1: Whodini

Hello, and welcome once again to the Futile Bi-Monthly Pack.  Once
again, you will see the art of the most popular three man group in the world.
If you are new to Futile, we are a Ansi/Ascii/Lit/Vga/Rip group originating
in 614 (Columbus, Ohio).  Suprisingly, this 'inevitably dead' group is still
alive, and selling the tombstone that TUBE/PaGE inherited us (TUBE was Omot's
group, while PaGE was my Lit Group).
Omot and Max have again done a marvelous job on art, while me (being
me) have been a total slacker, and done a few fonts, not lits, no asciis for
futile.  Omot and I have both gone out, and joined groups that specialize in
our art.  Omot is in SHiVER/Remorse/THC, while I am in Remorse/Revolt.  Omot,
I am proud to say, is the first artist in 614 to ever join a REAL ansi group.
Max, being some like me, hasn't joined any other groups.  He's still
Max as it is, and no one gives a shit about him except us..:)  (Probably cuz
you never make your ass known man).
We have decided to drop three bombshells this month.  First, is the
quality displayed in this month's pack.  Some extraordinary pics, and fonts
make this the best pack ever.  The bi-monthly schedule really lets you see
the squad's talents blossom from pack to pack.  Futile has become a name, and
no one can steal it, because we are known.
Omot has written his own k-rad a-mag (Ascii Mag) called Agony.  A
preview of Agony will be included in Futile, and I must say that for QuickBasic
it is very well coded.  (Asshole stole my idea before I could even tell him
about it..:)  ).  It will show his own unique style for ascii (aka HIS FONTS
ARE TOO FUCK'N BIG).
Third, but probably the most shock for the group.  I am stepping down
from my position as co-founder.  Omot is now full founder of the group.  I am
taking senior position as our "PR Man."  I will, of course, still do fonts for
Futile, and put my 80% effort that I always put into my work.  With my new
position, I will be in charge of turning down merges, recruiting members,
telecomm (if we ever get more then we can fit on three-way of course), and
basically the same shit I did before.  I will be in Futile until I die, and I
feel this is the best way for the group to go.  This gives the group a little
more security, because my so-so art will not be bringing the group down.
Ok, anyways...:)  In the last pack, the lit WD-STATU.LIT has been
nominated for Project Apocolypse, and I'm proud I wrote it.
I wish Omot all the luck in the world as new founder, and I wish
all of us in Futile the kind of security that a minor group can only hope for.

Part 2: Omot

Let's see.. it's February.  Still 3 members.  We've gotten offers
to merge with other groups.  We said, hell no.  I've joined up with some
cool people, namely Remorse Ascii and Shiver.  I guess my ascii producing
capabilities have improved a little, unfortunately all my asciis go either
to my new mag, Agony Ascii Mag, or Remorse Ascii.

Btw, check out my new mag, it's k-rad.  And you don't need to go
out and look for it because it's right here, in the pack. =)  Futile and
Agony are two separate entities, just remember.  Just that all the current
members of Agony [currently, one] are in Futile. =)

Anyways, we're still a small group.  We got some headquarters that
weren't members.  That's a first.  Hopefully we've all gotten at least a
little better, although I think Whodini's in a depression mode right now. =)

Speaking of Whodini, let's all celebrate his board's first year
anniversary.  Damn, I wasn't even born a year ago. =)  Good luck, and let's
all hope for another year or so, then I hope a group of board-crashers
come and tie your phone lines in a great big knotted bow-tie. =)

Okay, another board plug, this time it's mine.  If you want to talk
to us, yeah, we're lonely people.. artists have feelings too you know.  But
if you're thinking of getting some artwork done, or just want to kiss my
ass for some odd reason, call iN'r t0ob aka Inner Tube, the whq.  It's a
good board, the users may tell you different though.  Otherwise, my mail
address is at omot@fpg.gcomm.com or thuynh@acme.freenet.columbus.oh.us or
a few other ones that might actually get read by me, if you're lucky.

Greetingz to the following peoples:

Whodini: Umm.. let's dump Futile and get Max to join Remorse. =) Heh..
Remorse: Just kidding.  You guys are the ascii group of the 90s.. yeah.
Futile: A pretty damn good group.  You guys make Shiver shiver in fear. =)
Max: Even in a 3-man group, you don't get a senior position. =)
Saint Sinner: Good luck with Rancid, and maybe I'll see a new pack sometime
soon?? =)
Tguardian: Shiver's fun.. I'm still in it, right? =)
Vein: Uhh.. get me your damn address so I can send you the goods! =)
Zer0: Just one "e"?  Good.. /msg whoever unban zer0? =)
Purple NavaJo: Don't drink piss, it's not good for your body.
Maharet: I need to get in touch with you guys.. I'm cut off from everyone!
Psibelius: Sounds good.. =)
#ansi: the rest of you guys.. just plain suck.  Wait! Don't ban me! =)
