First  off, Acme hopes  that everyone o ut there incyber space had a wonde rful Holiday sea son as well as a  great New Year' s day. No.Acme m embers didn't get  drunk (at least  none that I tal ked to) on this wonderfulcelebra tion of New Years . So, onto some  welcoming pack information. Th is is Acme's fifth Pin nacle to date in  its 14 month hi story. Once aga in, we have  reached our goal  of putting toge ther our BEST pa ck to date.  ß± ß ßܲ ß ß ± ß ßÛ² ß ß ± ß ß±  ßßÛ ²ß ß±  ßßÛ ²ß  ß ± ß ßÛ² ß  °Ü ÜÛÛ  °   ÜÜ  °    °   ÛÛ   °   ÛÛ  °   ÛÛ °± Û²   °±  Û ² °± °±  Û ² °±  ² Û °± ßßÛÜ  ß²Ü  ² ±  ß² Üܲ±  ß² Ü  ß ²ÜÜ ²±   ß² ÜÜ ± ß  ß ²Ü   ²±  ß± ß ßܲ ß ß ± ß ßÛ²  ß ± ß ßÛ² ßßÛ²ß  ß ± ß ßÛ² ß   ° ÜÜÛÛ  °   ÜÜ    °   ÛÛ  ÛÛ  °   ßß  °±  Û²   °±  Û ² °±  Û ²  Û ² °± ßßßß     ß² Ü ²±   ß ²ÜÜ ²±  ß² Ü ²±   ²±   ß ²ÜÜ ²± I guess by l ooking at this n ewsletter, you h ave noticed how much this look like Acid's publ ication. There is a simple expl anation. Acid i s without a  doubt the best g roup in the scen e. You can argu e with this, but  they've been around the longe st and have stil l measured up to  the comptetitio n every single month. They mus t know what they 're doing to las t this long. An yway, I've been impressed with t he amount of tim e and effort the y put into makin g their packs  and their newsle tters. So what better way to be come a better gr oup than to  model yourself a fter the best? Baseball players  turn to other g reat players to get ideas on how  to make them be tter. Ansi arti sts model after other artists so they can lear n quicker. I do n't know how Aci d is run from th e inside, but I firmly believe t hat inorder to g et better you mu st look to the t op. This isn't kissing ass. Th is is simply the  truth. The org anization and ar tistic ability  all put Acid ont op. Yes, there are MAJOR differ ences between Ac id and Acme, but mimicking good groups  can only make t he group you are  in better.  ß± ß ßÛ²  ß ± ß ßÛ² ßß ± ß ßÛ² ß ß ± ß ß±  ßßÛ ²ß    °   ÛÛ  °   ÛÛ  °   ÛÛ  °    ° ÜÜÛß °± Û²  °±  ² Û °± ßßÛÜ °± °±  ß² Ü  ²±  ß² ÜÜ ± ß  ß ²Ü   ²±  ß² Ü  ß ²Ü Some rather  tense times gra ced Acme this pa st December. Fr esh, the founder and president of Trau ma, accused one of our artists, Mortal of rippin g a font  from Lord Jazz.  First off, one of Acme's ways o f becoming a bet ter group is to have our artists  mimic the style s of other artis ts not only so t hey understand how to draw ansi , but to also de velop their own unique style. W e find from past experiences that our artists become t en times better sooner when they  mimic. SoFresh  made this accusa tion against Mor tal and went as far as making a handy info file so he could spread aro und busting on M ortal and using that word we  have all grown t o love : "lamer" . When Mortal f ound out about t his, he felt terrible. He ha d told us only d ays before that he had really be en studying  Lord Jazz's styl e and was really  getting the han g of it. We are  pleased to say that Mortal did not rip. Acme s tands behind Mor tal 100 PERCENT on this issue.  We have talked t o Lord Jazz abou t the incident a nd it's all OK.  As for Fresh, may you rot in h ell and I,  Cryptic Blood  mean that . So Fresh, I h ope your dick got hard wi th your name in another group's newsletter other  than your own. ß± ß ß±  ßßÛ ² ± ß ßÛÛß  ß±  ßßÛ ²ß  ß ± ß ßÛ² ß ß ± ß ßÛ²  ß ± ß ßÛ² ß ±  ßßÛÛ ß  °    °   ÛÛ   ÛÛ  °   ßß  °   ÛÛ  °   ÛÛ  °   ßß    ÛÛ °± °±  Û ² Û² °± ßßßß   °± ßßÛÜ °±  Û ² °± ßßßß   Û²  ß² Ü  ß ²Ü   ²± ²±   ß ²ÜÜ ²±  ß² Ü ²±   ß ²Ü   ²±  ß² Üܲ±  ²±  As the scene  gets more and m ore based on the  internet, Acme has decided to open up a new di vision. The Int ernet Division h eaded by Guido i s now looking & accepting member s. To apply, th ere are a few re quirements. One , you must have a FULL internet account (i.e. IR C, WWW, FTP, bas ically a slip ac count). Two,  you must be esta blished on IRC.  In other words,  you can't just get an internet account and expe ct to become a m ember of Acme. However, you don 't have to be  someone who is a lready well know n like an Ellisd ee or someone wh o goes on inet. Once you are an internet represe ntative, you  must, up on getting the p ack, offer it to people in the art scene re lated channels.  If  people are inte rested in joining, you must direct them to p eople to which th ey can apply.  Ac me is looking for at  lea st five people t o fill these  position s. A cme feels that the internet  is where  everything is h appening and we  mus t harness the in ternet to achieve a bet ter standard in our group.     ß± ß ßÛ² ßßÛ²ß  ß ± ß ÛÛß ß±  ßßÛÛ ß ß ± ß ß±  ßßÛ ²ß   °   ÛÛ  ÛÛ  °   ÛÛ  ßßÜÜÜÜ    °    °   ÜÜ  °± Û²   Û ² °±  Û ²  °±  Û ² °± °±  Û ²  ß² Ü  ²±   ²±  ß² Üܲ±Ü  ß ² Üܲ±Ü   ß ²Ü   ß ²ÜÜ ²± Yes, that's right.
