Okay, Mr. Soth manning Ü ± Ý ú the frozen keyboard for yet another exciting month! þ . This month was barely less chaotic than last month... Although I'm happy to say that the art hasn't suffered because of it... I want to give all the iCE guys a big warm fuzzy (that's a good touch, not a bad touch), for their hard work this month.... 2. This month saw an event which rarely occurs in iCE. A Senior Staffer parted the group this month to join Legend. We want to extend our gratitude to Aphex Twin, aka Aphid Twix (aka Ellis Dee ;), for everything he's done for the group in the past and hope he will continue his success wherever the winds may take him. Also packing their bags and hitching rides to other pastures were Spirit of Illusion, who left for Disco, and Master Ken, who joined Aphex in LegendLand. 3. We had a little influx of new members this month. First off, our ansi section welcomes back Animal, who returns from ACiD. This month also saw the addition of Elysius and Mr. Mephistoples. Both are bursting with talent and we over here in the crowded iCE Phonebooth are sure you'll be seeing alot of them in the future. We also gained a rip section, with Tek and Death Adder joining, both of which are masters of the PhaT EGA standard that everyone loves. =) The VGA Section was also graced with Rogue Leader, who is worth his weight not only in gold, but also platinum, copper, beads, cows, war bonds, plutonium, duckets, fillywhips, semolians, chips, clams, rocks, bones, skins, smackers, and many other forms of payment. If you are able to think of other terms for remuneration, contact Lord Soth or Friar Tuck about becoming part of the iCE Currency Exchange. (iCE) 4. The Musicians have just been totally rocking the world lately... Basehead and Necros are now working for the game company Origin. We'll keep you notified when any new Origin games come out that include iCE Musicians' songs. Also a new game called Xixit has come out with music by Necros and C.C. Catch. It is a game like Columns and is coded by coding-genius Tran. The game is simple and addictive :) It is available from Optik Software, and there is a shareware version available. The Results from Music Contest 3 have come in... and here's the standings: Necros - 2nd Place Nemesis - 3rd Place Future Assassin - 12th Place We would also like to congratulate Psibelius of ACiD for placing 32nd, and Lord Pegasus of ACiD for placing 43rd. Approximately 120 people entered and the top songs are being put on CD, and the remaining space on the disc will be filled with demos and musicdisks and such. It's called the Freedom CD and includes graphics by Tonedef and Xten of iCE. It will cost $8 for US/Canada, and $10 Airmail elsewhere in the world, and will be released in Mid-September. Email dmw@gate.net for info on this CD. Also Necros has just released an amazing musicdisk called Progression. This musicdisk is easily one of the 10-best ever made, especially since all the gfx were done by Xten, also an iCEY. This is not to be missed. ftp dragon.axs.net /pub/demos/songs/necros/fm-prog.zip 5. We want to congratulate Mascot for his success at the British Columbia Film and Video Festival. He walked out with "Best Independant Production" and "Best Graduate Computer Media" for two 5-minute animations he made. The MS-BELL picture is a frame from one of his animations. Now that he's finished with all that, he's ready to come back full speed for iCE. :) Congrats, Mascot! 6. Internet Update. The guys at wit.com have reorganized their sites and our new FTP site is peace.wit.com /ice. They're not quite finished renovating and so we haven't been able to upload the missing packs there yet, but have (just a) little fear that we will straighten out the situation. 7. Hi Paul. Hi J'onn. High Ben. 8. There was some confusion last month, and Spirit of Illusion was accused of ripping an ansi by Grimace. Not to my knowledge, the ansi by Grimace was going to be a joint ansi with SOI, so we released it on its own. SOI released his part of the joint ansi along with only the blood header from Grimace's and didnt give Grimace the credit for it. So let the record show that SOI really wasn't trying to rip Grimace's ansi, it was only a because of a misunderstanding that they weren't released as one big ansi. Case dismissed and Court Adjourned. Take that to the back room with Marcia, Ito. We would like to apologize to Deeply Disturbed, Grimace, and Kamikazee, for the hideous mislabeling of their joint ansi last month. I really have to stop writing things in ansis at 3am. The correct information is that Grimace drew the pic entirely on his own, Deeply Disturbed drew the font, and Kamikazee colored in the font. Sorry guys! 9. St. Blazer is now only to be called Blazer, by decree of the King. Also, Gaijin is back to just good 'ol Hfaze. Friar Tuck is no longer to be referred to as "Pinto", nor is Force Ten's rodent Nibbles to be called a rodent. Oops, i guess. And Tek is still just plain Tek. Lord Soth has also requested that the king change Force Ten's handle to Alt-255, for no particular reason whatsoever. 9a. Friar Tuck was NEVER referred to as "Pinto", in a late-breaking piece of news. 10. This infofile was created by the iCE(tm) Random Gibberish Generator, v0.33á, coded by Itchy, Syntax Error and Tempus Thales. They've been hiding their coding talents from us in the Miami ghettos. Right now, they're getting rained on.
