Jump on the bandwagon!) °  ÞÛ Ý ÞÛ ÛÝ Werd. One year. ° °Ý Wow, I've actually been in a group for an entire year. I'm in a ±Û group that has lasted for an entire year. When I first started d00dling ÛÛ I never really thought that would happen. But here it is, the Union 1 ÞÛ° year aniversary pack, and needless to say, I think we've improved since ÞÛÛÝ UNI-0194.ZIP ÞÛÛ If you haven't already looked at this month's pack, welp, you're in Û ÛÝ for surprises. Like about 50 kabillion new members this month. New to °ÛÝ the group this month comes Lord Jazz, Terminator2, P-Chan, The Clone and Û°Ý Smooth from Acid. If you aren't familiar with their work then, well, you ÞÛÛÝ suck. They rule. Nuff said. ÛÛÝ Cardiac Arrest hooks up with us from Ice. He hasn't been drawring ÞÛ° regularly for a LONG time, so every logo he drawrs is to be treasured. :) ÞÛÛÝ It's quite easy to get an ansi from him, just throw some lettuce in his ÞÛ Û general direction. Þ°ÛÝ From Nation this month comes Magnetic M. He's finally putting down ÛÛÝ M:TG long enough to draw again :). He's a bit rusty, but give him some ÞÛÛ time to get into the flow again, cuz he rules. (Yes, he is one if the ÞÛÛÝ artists who inspires me :). You may notice Maestro has some work in this ÞÛÛ months pack, too. He asked me to make something clear to everyone, he is ÞÛÛß *NOT* in Union. He has not come back to the scene. He just draws every Û°Ý now and then (mostly for money) and he releases them with us. ÞÛ ° He heads our "Artist that quit the scene and wants nothing to do °  with it, nor has the time to do so, but is still a really nice guy" ÞÛ Ý division. Why yes, he did come up with the name for it all by himself. ÞÛ ÛÝ On the international scene, Flick from Exile and D-Vibe from Stile ° °Ý join Union. Flick hails from the Australian outback and D-Vibe is from ±Û Sweden. And who said euro's couldn't do anything other than demos! ÛÛ (well, okay, fine, flick is an aussie.. but.. same thing) ÞÛ° Silver Rat from Vor and Eerie from Relic finish off the list of new ÞÛÛÝ ansi artist who've joined the group this month. Eerie simply rules and ÞÛÛ Silver Rat is showing a lot of promise. Eerie with also be coding some Û ÛÝ sEkRiT pRojEctZ for us, as well as Graylight and Flounder. Expect to see °ÛÝ some of them mid-january/early-febuary. Û°Ý Wewp, joining our vga division this month is Skyhigh, formally of ÞÛÛÝ TekLordz, Relic, and Nation. Typhus from Jihad also pops in this month, ÛÛÝ as does the duo of Dr. Death and Prime Evil. ÞÛ° New to the rip division this month is CoolWhip from Fire, Twitch ÞÛÛÝ from CiA, and Black Guard from Roc. Check 'em out. Joining the music ÞÛ Û division this month is Neurosis and Beaner. At this point I'd like to Þ°ÛÝ talk a bit about the music disk. Yeah. It's still not out. It will be. ÛÛÝ We're just lazy. If you're in dire need of hearing some music from our ÞÛÛ guys, grab Psychosis #8, they did all the tracks. I'd also like to ÞÛÛÝ apologize on behalf of the entire group for the songs X-Facter ripped in ÞÛÛ our first musicdisk. We did not know that at the time, and his ass has ÞÛÛß soundly been booted. Û°Ý Cavalier from Tribe should also be doing some stuff for us on the ÞÛ ° internet front, as does Dr. Death and Orge. For any new members I forgot °  to mention this month, I sincerly apologize. There were quite a few of ÞÛ Ý you this month. Kick my ass. ÞÛ ÛÝ IP and Impact were kicked out of the telecom division due to the fact ° °Ý that, well, we wanted them to do something and they disagreed with the ±Û concept of actually working. ÛÛ Unfortunately, with the increase in members the quality that we ÞÛ° expect from them has increased too. There are some people who joined ÞÛÛÝ Union who just aren't putting out the quality of work we'd like to see ÞÛÛ in the pack. Having bad work in the pack brings it down a lot more than Û ÛÝ good work does, and it is in the best interest of the group to be °ÛÝ hardnosed and remove the weaker members. Û°Ý We hate to be assholes like this, but it needs to be done. Leaving ÞÛÛÝ the group this month is Mephitopeles, Necronite, Twisted Mind and Zoro. ÛÛÝ This isn't something personal, it's just on an artistic point of view. ÞÛ° If the work improves, you guys are welcome back in. ÞÛÛÝ MCA hooks up with Union this month, founding the Ice Member ÞÛ Û Division. We figured, hey, we treat him like he's in the group so why Þ°ÛÝ not, eh? ÛÛÝ If you have an internet account send some email to neurotic@magi.com ÞÛÛ to get on the union mailing lists. We have one dedicated to distributing ÞÛÛÝ union releases via uuencoded email as soon as they are released as well ÞÛÛ as another for messages between group members. Speaking of internet, ÞÛÛß someone was fucking around with the union95 account so we changed the Û°Ý password. Contact md to get the new pw. ÞÛ ° Applying and getting rejected is quite different than "had the °  opportunity to join". ÞÛ Ý Anyways, on to what's new in the group this month. Terminator2 ÞÛ ÛÝ overthrew the rest of this members this month and kicked everyone else ° °Ý out, then killed the group and restarted it, giving himself the lofty ±Û founder position. This happened in about 3 minutes. With the help of ÛÛ some handcuffs, a head of lettuce, a pooltable, wintarose and a bullwhip ÞÛ° we managed to convince him to let everyone else in. ÞÛÛÝ Due to their valuable persuasion abilities, Cybernary and Cardiac ÞÛÛ Arrest were given the much coveted "coordinator" position. This means Û ÛÝ they sit around and do stuff for the group. Getting in contact with one °ÛÝ of them if you can't reach either Neurotic or Mass Delusion would Û°Ý probably be a good idea. ÞÛÛÝ TooN-GooN and I almost have the exact same full name except for one ÛÛÝ letter. Isn't life weird sometimes? ÞÛ° As Basshead was going through last month's pack, he noticed the ÞÛÛÝ absence of a much needed commodity which every group should have, lit. ÞÛ Û After having gone a full year without lit, we figured we should try to Þ°ÛÝ amass as many poets and storywriters as we can in order to fill this ÛÛÝ gaping hole. These lit dudes will be trial members until we full are ÞÛÛ assured of their ability, we figured it would be a cool idea to put them ÞÛÛÝ in a separate group of their own, and just steal them for union once ÞÛÛ they were good enough. We call it SKiLLiT. ÞÛÛß Hrm. Maybe not. Û°Ý Anyways, I think I'll finish this month's nfo file with a response ÞÛ ° to Eerie's comment on Union being a machine. I am Union of Borg. You °  will be assimilated. ÞÛ Ý Er. ÞÛ ÛÝ But seriously, I think if union was a machine it'd be one of those ° °Ý inventions, by some crazy eccentric dude, that just barely works and is ±Û horrible to look at and falls apart every ten minutes. :). We're pretty ÛÛ chaotic and it's anybody's guess as to how the fuck we managed to stay ÞÛ° around this long. ÞÛÛÝ If your wondering why we don't have any neat-o one year recap or ÞÛÛ anything in this pack, check out BITCH-94.ZIP, released on christmas Û ÛÝ '94. °ÛÝ Anyways, later folks, see you in a month, have a happy new year's, Û°Ý hopefully you celebrated it better than just sitting at home on irc and ÞÛÛÝ putting the shiver pack together (coughtheguardiancoff). ÛÛÝ Yeah, we did release on the 2nd instead of the 1st. Some of us had ÞÛ° hangovers. Thanks to Hound for helping with the quality control this ÞÛÛÝ month.
