July ▀ 1996 - Dark Newsletter - by veediot!

This was simply an incredible month for Dark Illustrated. With
so many members on vacation and such this month, the outlook
of the group for this month was looking grim. Seniors were not
happy at all, but began working to make it work this month. As
it turns out, we produced one hell of a pack. So I applaud all
of the darkies this month for going beyond the call of duty in
recruiting and producing. Good job, guys.

Dark received a TON of new members this month. Septic merged
into us, and a lot of other members came from other various
groups. There are too many newbies to provide descriptions
for all of them, so I'll just list them.

Coming from the Septic Merge:

Hennifer- Ansi artist & Coordinator
Magnetic Rage - Ansi artist
Shadow Hunter - Ansi Artist
Technifix- Coder
Warpus- Ansi artist

Coming on their own:

Agent #77- Ansi artist
Cataclysm- Ansi artist
Death Karnage - Ansi Artist
Epoxy- Ansi artist
Fire Lord- Ansi artist
Free Fall- Ansi artist
Narcosis- Ansi artist
Raffaello- Ansi artist
WayneKerr- Coder

In other member news this month, Kargus joined but dropped as
did Ellisdee. Many member also had to deal with summer school.
Samurai goes on a Hiatus, and Armeggedon Donut left Dark but
returned late in the month.

#Dark is still the official hangout channel for Dark Members
on IRC. We can be contacted there, or by email.

The new web pages are still under construction but should be
up soon or something. Look for them.

US Headquarters: None

East 1999 went down, Tundra went back up. Tundra then went
back done. Where does that leave us? With no US HQ. Sorry
Kids, you'll have to uhm, call somewhere else for packs.

Due to the recent flood of new member, a lot of high quality
art was produced this month. Thus, the quality control level
was raised. If your work didn't get released, sorry.

Dark releases artwork under filenames with a 5 letter
abbreviation of the handle of the artist and then 2 numbers
corresponding to the number of art which they have released.

<arsen> .. you didn't let me into dark. i laugh at you.
`- This is my FAVORITE quote of the month. This kid was turned
down from Dark, because he was a fontist and his pics were
not good enough. Now it is his goal to try and make me
regret not accepting him. Good luck. Seriously, GROW UP.
Even if you should one day be the best artist in the world,
I still wouldn't let you in, because your head is too big.

Yes, it was rumor month this month at Dark Illustrated. The
first rumor was that our vga master PB killed his parents.  ░░▄▀▓▒░  ▒▒░▌▐▓▒ Uhm, no. He didn't. :) Our next rumor was that ansi artist
pooka killed himself on July 19th, Yet I talked to him (or
a pooka impersonator) on the 21st. Tho, I don't know why
someone would impersonate him. However, if this is true, our
hearts go out to his family and friends.

All in all, It was an action packed month at Dark Illustrated.
I'm very proud of all the Darkies for what they have been able
to accomplish this month. However, there is one rumor that is
true that I think would be appropiate to tell everyone. I am
indeed leaving the scene, atleast until January 1997. I don't
have the time for it anymore. But if/when I do return, I will
Be a full-fledged Darkie once more.
