     damn. here it is. incredible, eh? well, yea. spastic studios were 
     founded about 2 weeks ago and here we are, with 23 artists and almost 
     a meg of pure ansi. and that's only the beginning. as you probably 
     noticed, we're early. well, we don't like to be trendy, you know, and 
     the trend is to release late <g>. i'm presently waiting for the last 
     ansis i'll have to include in the pack, as well as azrael's infofile 
     header (that you can see right now, unlike me <g>) and tadah, we have 
     a pack.
     
     first, a bit of history. the wizard called me up the other day and 
     asked me to be the president of a new group. we decided on the name 
     spastic and then started to talk to some people about joining. the 
     philosophy is simple:
     
     1) motivation: spastic members must be interested in doing ansi. they 
     must love to do their art. they have to submit work AT LEAST every two 
     month to be worthy of the spastic membership.
     
     2) ambition: spastic members must want to get better, always better, 
     never consider themselves as perfect. they are encouraged to ask for 
     advice to other artists.
     
     3) creativity: spastic members are encouraged to try new things, new 
     skills, new medias.. we won't stop them from trying or learning.
     
     4) quality: spastic members do their own quality control. they must be 
     proud of all the artwork they submit for the pack.

please notice that spastic doesn't accept any dual-groupers, excepted
     if the other group serves as a showcase for a different media. (vga,
lit, ascii, etc.)please also notice that we are an ansi group. our
     memberscan still release other stuff in the pack, but they'll be
     accepted in spastic studios only for their ansi skills.

     
     we just want to make the scene look better. we believe that this is 
     the way to do it. everyone in the group is cool, everyone in the group 
     love ansi. oh well, now i'll just present you the spastic studs.
     
     
     ACID PHIX. after being in shiver, that dude is joining the fun here in 
     spastic studios. we think he can do super cool stuff.
     
     ACTRAISER. one of the most awesome upcoming artists at the moment is 
     joining the studios too. i was stunned at his work for this month's 
     pack. i guess you'll be as stunned.
     
     AZRAEL. you probably already know that cool (and awesome) artist by 
     now. he's been in groups such as acid, nation and relic, and now that 
     he's back in the scene, he just joined spastic to enlighten us with 
     some masterpieces in ansi and rip. (YES, we do take rip when the guy 
     also does ansi)
     
     BLACK LIGHTNING. by now, everyone knows bl, another all-around cool 
     guy. his pics are impressive and he's getting real good. he's coming 
     from union fame.
     
     CORRUPTION. that guy left cia to bum with us as a logo artist. he is 
     improving and i'm sure he can get very good soon. interesting fact: he 
     did about 40 logos for this pack. other interesting fact: his voice is 
     higher than ip's. <g>
     
     CYBERNARY. the co-founder of union decided to join spastic as yet 
     another font master =). he will probably find the time to whip up a 
     few pics for us too, as he is a very talented artist.
     
     DAIRY PRODUCT. formerly of cia/bleach fame, dairy product is one of 
     the most promising ansi artists around. i personally really dig his 
     style, and am really happy to work with that all-around cool guy.
     
     EERIE. hey, that guy sucks! he blows! he is a bastard! when he's on 
     the confs, he just stays there without saying anything (but when he 
     says something, that counts! <g>). i wonder what he's doing in the 
     group. oh, by the way, he is the president =)
     
     ETERNAL CHAOS. what can i say, another cool artist coming over from
     some group i forgot.. oh, yeah, that was paramount.
     
     HYPED. he did ascii for remorse and vga for jihad, now he tried his 
     hand at ansi and it looks like he's got some talent. so he's with us!
     
     IMPACT. he's coming over from union, and he does pretty neat-o ansi. i 
     guess you've never seen his work, hey, thats just cuz he's suck a lazy 
     ass =).. since his initials, IM, were conflicting with the image's, we 
     asked him to use IP, but for some psyched-out reason, he never wanted.
     <g>
     
     INNER VISION. one of the most talented guys in shiver, inner vision, 
     joined spastic. no need to say anything else about him, just look at 
     his pics and be astonished.
     
     JAYDEE. coming along from relic, jaydee is probably one of the most 
     inventive logo artists around. even if he's a lazy ass, we believe he 
     can do great for the group.
     
     KERPLUNK. that guy used to be in alive, relic, shiver and cia. now 
     he's kickin with us with his bitchin logos and asciis. he's got an 
     amazing gooping method that inspired me alot, so it's an honour to 
     have him in the group.
     
     MAD BOMBER. a jewel! mad bomber is an excellent cartoony ansi artist. 
     his pics are astonishing, and he even threw up a complete ansi comic 
     strip for this pack. he left his previous group, ddt, to come with us.
     
     MYRDDIN. yet another freelance ansi artist joining with us, myrddin 
     (who used to be known as perseus) shows some real talent, and we are 
     hoping alot from him.
     
     PALE. the creator of the logo combo concept, pale, is probably one of 
     the best font artists around. his work is ascii-styled, i totally dig 
     it.
     
     PROWLER. azrael recruited that previously groupless artist. he is very 
     promising, and we are proud to have him with us.
     
     RIMGALE. another ex-shiver dude. rimgale lives in sweden. hey, that 
     means we're an international group now! =) it's just another very, 
     very promising artist.
     
     SPOONMAN. that dude just came back from a 8-month hiatus from the 
     scene, and now he's with us. he used to be in cia, and we believe that 
     he's got potential.
     
     THE IMAGE. not to be confused with "image" from cia, the image was a 
     freelance artist, and now, hey, he's with us.
     
     YOUNG. after being in groups such as imperial, nation, relic and shiver, 
     young finally ends up in spastic with his superb anime ansis. he even 
     restarted producing alot of ansi work. so we can expect some really 
     cool stuff from him.
     
     ZOLTAR. coming from mistigris, zoltar is, in my opinion, in the top 5 
     of the most amazing font artists currently in the scene. his logos are 
     very inventive and the guy himself is cool beyond belief. enuff said.
     
     
     we also picked up 3 excellent couriers: ICZER-1, NAPALM DEATH and THE 
     UNDECIDED. we also got an efficient telecom member, NARCOLEPT.
     
     so, to all the spastic members, a warm welcome to the group. i wish 
     alot of good things happen with it, and not too many bad things. =)
     
     
     ok, i have to add something now. some people seem to be really fucked 
     up or pissed off about things that first seemed clear but i guess they 
     weren't.. just like integrity: "spastic sucks, they just stole our 
     philosophy. eerie is an asshole (etc)"
     
     how damn funny. the int guys always hated me actually, they just found 
     a new reason to rag on me... like i cared. back in november 94, 
     spastic was ALREADY on the drawing table. then, at the beginning of 95 
     came integrity. when i saw their info file and philosphy and stuff, i 
     just told myself "oh fuck, if spastic ever comes out, they're gonna 
     say i ripped their idea."
     
     then i told myself: "god damn it. that was not THEIR idea."
     
     quizz. what was the first all-ansi group?
     
     everyone answers INTEGRITY. 
     
     BUZZ. WRONG ANSWER. the correct answer would probably be AAA. Aces of 
     Ansi Art.
     
     yea. AAA, ACiD (remember the acronym definition: Ansi Creators In 
     Demand?), iCE, even TRiBE were all ansi groups. is that concept new? 
     wow, i doubt it. then, either SPASTIC and INT ripped off an idea that 
     came out in FUCKING NINETEEN NINETY ONE.
     
     quizz. what was the first group in which the members actually had fun 
     while still producing stuff every month? integrity? wrong answer 
     again. the AAA/ACiD guys WERE doing stuff every month. they also were 
     having fun. i'm sure of that.
     
     you know that the scene sucks? yea, you know it. but it just.. didn't 
     suck, back in 91-92-93... why then would ANYONE complain if we start a 
     group using OLD principles that always worked and that aren't used 
     anymore for some psyched-out reason?
     
     i think the major difference between spastic and integrity is the 
     attitude. spastic is progressing, int is just stuck where they've 
     always been, it's just like they can't get better. they ARE good, but 
     in 2 or 3 packs, when they're gonna be really established, will their 
     philosophy still stand? will they still want to prove that they can 
     still amaze everyone? i may be wrong, but i doubt it. (actually, i'd 
     be happy if let's say darkforce decided to improve like a motherfuck 
     just cuz i said he would never get better.)
     
     the other major difference between our two groups is that int is a 
     LOCAL group. (i think there's one member who doesnt live in the 604) 
     almost all the people in it know each other personally. spastic is 
     totally international. opened to everyone.
     
     
     let's conclude this quick by saying that since the announcement of 
     spastic's foundation, it seemed like alot of people were having all 
     sorts of misconceptions about the group, so they just started ragging. 
     but it also seemed like most of the rag was just jealousy. i know we 
     can't stop people from ragging on a pack-less group, i won't even ask 
     you to stop, that would be a lack of time. the pack is out now. so you 
     can now talk and know what you are talking about. the spastic guys 
     have been super busy working on some cool stuff for the pack. i know 
     that they all work their best to set the group standards as high as 
     they can. 
     
     
     oh. i had something else to talk about. some people were accusing us 
     to steal members from cia. let's just say that we stole no one. 
     everyone was free. we haven't offered hqs or any candies to anyone, we 
     just asked a very few people if they would join. they said yes. the 
     rest of the members applied, just like anyone should do. i mean, if 
     the majority came from cia, its not OUR problem. maybe it's cia's. i 
     was myself really surprised at the amount of cia guys applying, and at 
     some time felt very unconfortable with that situation. neither the 
     wizard nor eerie wants any bad blood between spastic and cia. but now, 
     stop saying we steal members from groups. if those guys want to join 
     spastic, its THEIR choice, THEY think its gonna be better.
     
     
     ok, this is long enough. if you want to apply to spastic, well err.. 
     get in contact with the wizard or eerie on the stellar nights 
     (610)896-9140 or sarcastic toaster (418)849-0121 and include a sample 
     of your work. you can also call the spastic vmb (800)241-7337 (1682#), 
     or find us on irc. we only need ansi artists. if you work in any other 
     media, please refrain from applying. thanks for taking the time to 
     read this. see ya.
