Well, the much anticapated Paramount pack is finally out!  After five
weeks of preparation, Paramount has become official.  My name is Shivan and I
started Paramount out of Atlanta, Ga.  Better known as 404. :)  Well, I'd like
to start with info about our senior staff..

The Senior Staff consists of Devine Styler, Insidious, and Shreifels.
Devine Styler was recently the president of a small ansi group in 404 named
VOiD.  He quit VOiD to join PMT, and he also brought a great coder named
Watcher with him.  Devine Styler is not only a great up and coming artist, but
he's also got coordinator skills.  He's a valueable member of PMT, and I'm
very glad to have him.  Insidious is an old pal, and another great addition to
our team.  Insidious has been a member with iCE, RELiC, and TRiBE.  He helps
with organization and anything else I need.  I feel previlidged to have him
as a member.  You can also see me on #ansi thanks to Insidious. :)  The final
Senior Staffer is Shreifels.  I've known him for 5 years, and can easily say
that he is yet another great addition to PMT.  He will be couriering the packs
to our HQs, and a few sites as well as organizing with me.  Shreifels has also
sacrificed his phone bill for Paramount.  I can't thank him enough...

Now for our artists.. We've mixed some up and coming talent with some
"old skool" guys for a great bunch of artists.  I'd like to start with Amroth,
that "old skool" artist from iCE.  He quit the scene about 7 months ago, and
decided to join PMT.  He's one of my all time favorite artists.  Not only does
he draw great ansis, but he codes, he writes music, and he draw VGAs!  He's
unreal..  From iCE we got Shaggy, Toon Goon, Stone the Crow, and Elminster to
join.  I've known Shaggy and Elminster for a while and consider them some of
the best artists that the scene has known.  Not much can be said about Toon
Goon or Stone the Crow.  You all know and love their art, and they are
considered some of the best out their.  I'm glad all of these iCE guys are
helping out and I hope that they stay in <iCE/PMT> :).. Insidious is not only
Senior Staff, but also an artist.  Hopefully he'll release more stuff in the
next pack.. That fuckin' game "magic" has got a hold on him.. :)  Midget
Farmer is another fine artist that Paramount has acquired.  His fonts are
really nice, and some of you may know him as the sysop of Acid Pool <404>.
Shinobi came into PMT from Relic, he's still a member with Relic and hopefully
he'll put out more in the packs to come.  Invisible Anarchy joined and shows
lots of talent with the two ansis of his in this pack.  He's gonna be a great
one!  Paramount was lucky to get Nivenh, the author of Impulse BBS software.
He should have more art in the next pack, and not much needs to be said about
his coding abilities except for that he wrote a goddamn BBS software! :)  AK
is a 404 VGA man who is very talented, and should be one of our most steady
artists.  Expect to see art from AK in every PMT pack.  Cid Vicious, who used
to be in iCE VGA, joined but doesn't have any art in this pack, but there will
be some of his VGAs in the next pack, for sure.  Lastly, Phase II is a 404 VGA
guy who has done way more than his fair share for Paramount.  He's helped
recruit, get sites, and organize.  You should see him in SS or as a
"coordinator" sometime in the near future.

Lastly, I'd like to mention our coders.  Our coders are Amroth,
Nivenh, Stingray, and Watcher.  Nothing is coded for this pack, but an
application generator and a viewer are in the works for the next pack.  Just
to show the degree of coders, here is a little about each of our coders..
Amroth is writing a PC game, Nivenh wrote a BBS software, Stingray writes
software for a living, and Watcher's setup is killer due to his coding skills.
These guys are really good, and we'll see some of their work by the time
PMT-0295 comes out..

Now for some general info about Paramount.. :)
1)  Paramount finally releases..

2)  Paramount is sponsoring Impulse, in that we are going to do most of
the ansi side for Impulse..

3)  ParaNet should be setup sometime in January, and PMT is looking for
someone who knows how to setup nets really well.

4)  ParaView is in the works, and will be completed by PMT-0295..

5)  Paramount is constantly looking for new artists, and if you are tired
of the same old bullshit, whether you be in ACiD, iCE, Shiver, Union,
or a tiny local group outta <xxx>.. We're interested.. Since our damn
application generator isn't done, call The Morbid Mess Hall at
404-667-9673 and apply for the group there.. the nup is "overdrive"..
