That font above sprouts the same familiar 5  °  letters that #28 has gracious ly pounded out month after month  ÞÛ  Ý after month. It says those same 5 letters  that you have loved,  ÞÛÛÝ hated , loved, hated, and then witnessed die.  °°Ý   ±Û  Or did they? ÛÛ  ÞÛ²  Of course  not! Anyone who thinks that we would call it quits after ÞÛÛÝ a year and a half of hard, honest work from the ground up is silly! ÞÛÛ  Quitting? Nah man, we haven't even though t about it, only the  ÛÛÝ opposit e! Complete revival, reunion if you will pardon the pun,   °ÛÝ a complete rebirth of  talent, friendship, fun, and domination. Û °Ý  ÞÛÛÝ  Who ar e we? We are Union. That is all that matters. What  we do, ÛÛÝ we do for ourselves, and  for our friends, and that is how we run. ÞÛ ° Some of us are new, some of us are old , some are both and some are ÞÛÛÝ  inbetween, but the fact remains, that we have joined i n common ÞÛÛ pursuit of a goal so  sweet; being a team.  Þ °ÛÝ  ÛÛÝ   Whether you remember us as Union of 613, Union with Neurotic the ÞÛÛ 'wannabe-a-vga' artist, Union of b0rg (as some so fondly knighted us) ,ÞÛÛÝ or any other title, we are what we were, only stronger, closer,  ÞÛÛ  and a lot more witty. :)  ÞÛÛß   Û°Ý  Unparalleled in o ur ability for gayness, we did what no other group ÞÛ° would ever consider, letal one carry out, we faked our own death(fo0d).  °  Yeah, call us Captain Shakesp eare, call us stupid, call us zany, ÞÛ  Ý  it doesn't matter, because we laug h constantly, at you, your ÞÛÛÝ  groups, ourselves, and each other. We don't get fazed  because there  °°Ý are only successes to  be created from failure, and only fun to be had  ±Û the whole way along.  ÛÛ  ÞÛ°  Ye s, you will once again have to put up with our up-fro nt attitudes,ÞÛÛÝ our inside jokes, ou r sEKRIT kOUNZILs, our k-rad plans to takeover ÞÛÛ the world! oh m0o! That was fo r next month!  ÛÛÝ   °ÛÝ  If M.C. Hammer was still hip, we'd have to put in a .voc of a remix Û°Ý called 'Union Time. ' Would that be too egotistical? Maybe, but then ÞÛÛÝ you look at our 1.7 megs of unzi pped art, and say 'oh my god! that's ÞÛÛÝ  the funky shit!'. Hannibal Lecter has a big jpeg  collection. ÞÛ°  ÞÛÛ Ý  Union business! On approximately July 15 th, Operation k0w will ÞÛÛ compl ete it's final stages of execution, and prove to the  Þ °ÛÝ international art sce ne that once again we will be a pain in the ass. ÛÛÝ Through our secret execution of t his highly confidential plan (out- ÞÛÛ  -lined in Operationk0w.txt, NOT operatio.txt, which in cidently has ÞÛÛÝ nothing to do wi th felatio.) we will have proven to ourselves that  ÞÛÛ we could do it, we could make it  once again what we had to begin with.ÞÛÛß   Û°Ý  And so fell ow artists, musicians, couriers, sysops, internet fre aks,ÞÛ° coders, and observers, I present to you, Union 08/95!  °    ÞÛ Ý   Alright! To the nitty gritty, we have e xpanded like CRAZY, pulling ÞÛÛÝ clout  from all corners of the scene. It seems our fake de ath has  °°Ý created a huge wave o f chaos in the scene, resulting somewhat in   ±Û leading to Shiver's d eath, Spastic's transfer of power, and ESPECIALLY ÛÛ to the creation of Twilight->Vers us->Legend (but not the warez group ÞÛ°  legend of course.). Yeah, we didn't exactl y expect it, but  ÞÛÛÝ Operation  k0w started alot of the silliness we've seen in the last ÞÛÛ month. But without furt her adue, let me introduce to you those  ÛÛ Ý members who we call 'brothers'.  °ÛÝ  Û° Ý  Starting out with Nailz, the foun der and creator of our beloved  ÞÛÛÝ  Union, he spends his time rollerblading with a laptop in hand as to ÛÛÝ never miss a draw ing oportunity. Nailz, we all fear you. ÞÛ °  ÞÛÛÝ  Moving down th e staff we come to .. me. :) I would like to call  ÞÛÛ myself the total mastermind of O peration k0w, but I must give Þ °ÛÝ respect to my fellow Admiral of the Union Navy - #28. Yes, #28's ÛÛÝ k0w in the pasture has inspired o ur team to new heights! Nothing ÞÛÛ  like milk from the tap! ÞÛÛÝ  ÞÛÛ  Of course we cannot forget our  loyal and best friends who have ÞÛÛß  been by our side through both thick and thin, unl ike some people Û°Ý  (coughdiscocough). These guys are truly cool, we'd k eep themÞÛ° around regardle ss of whether or not they drew, because they make   °  the days fly by, and the long  nights on IRC end too quickly.ÞÛ  Ý  ÞÛÛÝ  We greet Black Lig htning, Blenderhed, Dive, Galahad, GodSpeed,   °°Ý Kool, Krypton, K-Spif f, M(idunnohowtospellhishandle)p, Neurosis,   ±Û Point Blank, Spell Bi nder, Stone Chapel(sole assassin), The Beholder, ÛÛ  and of course, Twitch!  ÞÛ°  ÞÛÛÝ  Bu t Union isn't complete. We searched out the kind of guys who ÞÛÛ we would want to tal k to and hang out with, and then made sure  ÛÛÝ they weren't thedraw-handicapped, and w e found our new friends :  °ÛÝ Devine Stylers joins the k0w from Spastic with his hilarious toons Û°Ý and sTYLIN antics.  Greater Evil is one of the many RELiC guys we ÞÛÛÝ found floating the net, and his coding is only surpassed by his ÛÛÝ  elite ethernet connection to the net. Hunchback, GE's  RELiC brother ÞÛ° was found i n Rival and was receptive to the heavy m0oing he hear d ÞÛÛÝ on his fone. Kid Krylon, i nventor of KY Jelly, decided along with ÞÛÛ  Stone Amnesia(merlin) and St. Sinner, that  Rival had been fun, but Þ °ÛÝ that is was time to m ove on. As Krylon reports, it was a natural  ÛÛÝ move to join a group of close kni t guys like Union. Rival was a ÞÛÛ  nearly 100% area code 909 group (except that silly guy  ss. :) and ÞÛÛÝ they have found U nion to be a mere extention in their tight circle  ÞÛÛ of friends. Along with Rival we  have found Fear and Turmoil's  ÞÛÛß  natural ability to do 60k bins and be cool, all withou t breaking ÛÛ a sweat!. Magnus from ex-TRiBE and iCE, was found doodling under ÞÛ° the direct command of Qur' an, but with no home. Bad Mascot! :)   °  I had to set Magnus' Motel 6 empire straight, and get him onto our ÞÛ  Ý team, all that's left is a vmb, wh at's a vmb? ;) ÞÛÛÝ   °°Ý  We moved to logo co llies now, but #28's stuff wasn't in one. That  ±Û would have meant load ing up aciddraw at 2:00am again. Sorry, deal. ÛÛ  ÞÛ°  Fin ding their way into the Union k0w Patty, was long tim e scene ÞÛÛÝ member and protagonis t, HOOPTiE. He is currently coding an ansi  ÞÛÛ editor titled ARTWORX, which is curren tly at .70beta. The editor ÛÛÝ i ncludes intuitive key placement, vga styled commands f or drawing,  °ÛÝ and a host of other g reat features. We are proud to sponsor it as Û°Ý our official drawin g program. Just a note, at first it seems lame ÞÛÛ because all of the keys are chan ged around, don't worry, if you  ÞÛ°  get used to it, the editor makes a LOT of s ense and is easy to use! ÞÛÛÝ  ÞÛÛ  Off a tip by Lieutenant HOOPTi E we picked up a vga artist named ÛÛÝ  Dataless. Information beyond this is classified at this time. VGA  °ÛÝ news NOT classifed ho wever, is that Quisling and Formic Acid return Û°Ý home this month and  bring with them some nice artwork. Quisling has ÞÛÛÝ moved towards real world photogr aphy edited on a computer, whereas ÛÛ  Formic still draws the hottie chicks. :) ÞÛ°   ÞÛÛÝ   Our 714 AC is always a pain in the ass to get ahold of. Those guys ÞÛÛ have more of a li fe than the rest of us put together! Welcoming them  ÛÛÝ back again is an honor, and we gr eet Kool, Stone Chapel AKA Sole  °ÛÝ Assassin, and Streake r. All three are excellent artists and great  ÛÛÝ guys to talk to. Just never, nev er, EVER go over to Kools house.ÞÛÛÝ  Guarenteed you pee your pants, ask Stone Chapel! muaha h... ÛÛÝ ÞÛ°   Back this month is Sharp Edge from Motion staff, he returns withÞÛÛÝ his euro humor an d his insane cartoons! Point Blank looks like he  ÞÛÛ is home again, thankfully. We j ust need to talk to the guy once in ÛÛÝ awhile to make sure he didn't get swallowed by the ear th. :) Also  °°Ýhome amazingly was Gala had, who made it back in one piece from  ÛÛÝ Camp WallawallawallaWashington, still with the forefin gers to drawÞÛ°Ýsilly . In addition, Replay should be with us still, but h is fone ÞÛÛ line was disconnected, so who knows what got him, eh? :)ÞÛ°  ÞÛÛÝ As the uni-0795.zip info  file stated, our musicdisk is on the slate ÛÛ  for release within the next week. Populus i s the coordinating   °ÛÝmusician, and from what  I've heard in sample, this disk will be  ÛÛ Ýworth the two disk download! If nothing else , you have Lord ÞÛ°ÝP egabagle's BOWLING FOR FISH tune. What more could you  want out of ÛÛÝa musicdisk? I'm t aping it for my car stereo, word. Other members ÞÛÛ of our music are Ded Silence (hey!  the OTHER local scene guy! yes!), ÞÛ°  and Future Assassin (anyone awake in there?),  word to them all.ÞÛÛÝ ÛÛ   Before I misplace this list, Forego joins with his mad ansi   °ÛÝskills and amazingly re liabe telecom skills (uhh.. yeah. :). Fear  ÛÛÝhim, for he lives for fear. I heard he d oes ansi's if you'll ÞÛÛÝjust fear him alot. :) ÛÛÝÞÛÛÝ  I want to mention Psyber Rape, who didn't make an ap pearance in ÞÛÛ pack, but is still an outstanding guy and a greatly improving artist  °ÛÝby leaps and bounds, an d who we are glad to consider part of our  ÛÛÝteam.ÞÛÛÝ ÛÛÝ  Unfortunately, Black Lightning and Lord Jazz's dual ansi stillÞÛÛÝhas integrity plaster ed all over it, but as you can see BL is back ÞÛ° with us as the official Unio n Storm Trooper. Why a storm trooper?ÞÛÛÝ I guess he just doesn't like Naval Rank. :)  ÛÛÝÞÛÛÝ Running a close seco nd is Hunchback, who wants to be boba fett.Þ Û° ÞÛÛÝ In addition - regarding member boards. We are REALLY sorry  Þ °ÛÝbecause we KNOW everyon e didn't get listed. We are working to have ÛÛÝa GOOD SOLID list of our members bo ards, and will hopefully have aÞÛÛÝ near complete version by the time the next pack swings  around onÞÛ° the 1st of Sept ember. (Yes, we are not releasing in 15 days, we ÞÛÛÝare waiting a month and a half, de al.)Þ °ÛÝ ÛÛÝProb ably the most awaited news in the Union circle curren tly is ÛÛÝthe new staff appointment s. We purposely went after young artistsÞÛÛ Ýwho have the coordination knack so that Union 's staff will be strong ÞÛ° for months to come. However we have not decided wholly o n the ÞÛÛÝplacement yet. The staff  is still incomplete as Nailz and myselfÞ  °° have not had the opportunity to  fully look over each person.ÞÛÛÝ  ÛÛÝ However, based on merit throughou t the duration of Operation ÞÛÛÝk0w , we are hereby promoting former Rival senior Kid Kry lon to aÞÛ° coordinator. He spends even more time than I do on IRC, and he's ÞÛÛÝa cool guy to boot, two qualities that can make any guy amiable.Þ °° I looked to Stone Amnesia as we ll, however he works more, and isn'tÞÛ ° around the kind of hours that KY is, not hing personal, a little ÞÛÛÝmatter  of time is all. ÛÛÝÞÛÛÝ  I would like to say that Terminally Nothing and Shad ow Hawk areÞÛ° still with us,  and continue to be important members on the Union ÞÛÛÝteam. They have been moved to a n ew division called 'public Þ °° relations' which means they hel p out and tell me what to do, butÞÛÛÝ don't take up so much damn room on the coordinator's l ist with their ÛÛÝhuge friggin handle s. :) Props to these guys, who have been ÞÛ ÛÝinstrumental, as well as providing abom and I w ith anime gifs. :)ÞÛ° Þ ÛÛÝ We would like to thank #28, Peak Veloci ty, and #28 for beingÞ °° simply wonderful members of a t otally powerless advice council ÞÛ°  which served us well in our time of need. :) ÞÛÛÝÞ °°  Please note that we have a co uple info files. We just couldn'tÞÛ°  do it all with one. Well I suppose we could.  But I would have had ÛÛÝto reform at all of the text in the operationk0w.txt file and t hatÞ °° would be far too tedious of a t ask at this point. Suffer.ÞÛÛÝ  °°  I think I have just about cov ered it all, from head to toe, andÞÛ°  the end point is blunt and simple....
