Howdy everyone, this Ü ± Ý ú is Lord Soth here, delivering your monthly þ . iCE Pack. We've worked hard all month for this one... I'll let the art speak for itself though. As a quick note, I would like to thank all the iCE Artists, Coders, Musicians, and Members for weathering all the scene bullshit that erupted this month, for they're the ones that make iCE what it is. 2. This month marked the loss of 5 great artists. First was Deeply Disturbed, who left after we made our pack in time to release an ansi in last month's ACiD Pack, which was released shortly after ours. Second to split was #28, who went back to Union, which has recently dissolved. . . Third was Terminator 2, who left with Neurotic for Somms and Deeply Disturbed's new group called Legend. Lastly, Hannibal Lecter quit the join some of his closest friends over at Old Dirty Bastard's group, Disco. Hannibal was our residant jive-expert, as well as being the ONLY iCE Member to be a cousin of the lead singer of Blues Traveller. Killean the Red also retired from the scene this month, babbeling about a lack of time as he rode away on his flying red sleigh. We'll miss all these guys, and we wish then luck and happiness wherever they may go! We also did some late late Spring housecleaning. Removed this month for inactivity were Dr. Tongue, Poskgubbe, The Wizard, and SleepWalker. We honestly hope they will be back in the near future... 3. Joining us this month is Kamikazee, who has been in Tribe, ACiD, Unchained, Vintage, and has finally stopped rolling here :). He's been worth his weight in gold this month, helping with some last minute fonts and such :). Welcome to iCE, Kamikazee. Also joining us is Maestro. He ran the iCE- hating Nation, and now we all are welling up with tears to see him joining us. He too has helped us immeasurably already. Finally, we offer an energetic Secret iCE Handshake(tm) to Icepick, a VERY talented coder whose loader this month proves he's right up there with the rest of our coders. 3a.After getting a job at the local MARS candy factory next to Friar Tuck, Aphex Twin has changed his handle to Aphid Twix. Mr. Tuck was reported as saying "The service at Waffle House can't be beat!" The iCE psychoanalysis division couldn't detect any correlation between the two events. =) 4. Big news in promotions this month. First off, we have to start this off on a sad note. Cheese Grater has stepped down from Senior Staff to go back to his origional position as VGA Artist. In an completely unrelated event, Friar Tuck joins us as Senior Staffer. His coding and ansi skills, coupled with his knack for coordination and his award-winning smile add up to a great Senior Staffer. Also this month Borian was promoted to VGA Coordinator. Bottoms up, guys. Here's to an even brighter future. 5. The Pantheon, iCE US Headquarters, is now available on the net. We have not as of yet secured a domain name, although the IP address is 129.174.28.181. Just use that number string where you would normally put a domain name. The Board is accessable via the Telnet, and depending on your Telnet client you may or may not be able to send and recieve files as you normally would on a BBS, or else you can FTP anonymously to that address. We're currently only on a 14.4k connection, so we only allow 1 person on the board at a time, although hopefully we will be able to improve this is the near future. Please be patient while we remodel :) Since The Pantheon no longer has a dial-up line, we have switched our US Headquarters to The PowerGrid, run by our longest-ever active member, Syntax Error. 6. Falic asked me to mention this in the NFO Files. The Stockton, California Police have made their fellow Officers proud this month. After one of Falic's (ex:)friends was caught stealing a computer, they asked him for a list of name of his friends who use computers. Yup, you guessed it, Falic got pulled into all of this. A detective came and took Falic's computer to check to see the newly-purchased computer was stolen. When it was returned to Falic just days before the end of this month, they had formatted the Hard Drive, taking with it all his art for this month. That wasn't just an excuse, either, all you super-cynical readers :) We'd also like to salute Falic's friend Dave for getting arrested for kicking a Police horse in the ass. What a country :) 7. Quick Note: We're releasing 2 special ansis this month. Friar Tuck, our newest Senior Staffer, did an outstanding ansi, as did St. Blazer. Yes, they were definately born to be coders, not artists :) 8. Jamie McCarter has the special release this month, with a rendered .FLI of a space scene. Check it out, it's worth the 950k download. 9. Syntax Error gave Friar Tuck a boot in the tail this month to document some little-known iCEView features. These are things that people asked for, he coded in, and subsequently forgot. See ICEVIEW.NEW for the updates. :P 10. A Happy 19th to Magnetic M!! wooooo-hoooooo!!!! yeeeeee-haw! (from Syntax) Gratz, dude. =) 'till Next Month, - Lord Soth and Friar Tuck slothy@netcom.com friar@netcom.com greets to some old farts in the scene: Xerobe, Der Schatten and Soul Rebel.
