-- THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION -- ECLIPSE INFO FILE ---------------------------------

scene guy: hi splatt, what are you doing
in this info file? i thought rai was the
one who wrote the info file ..

splatt: well, rai isn't writing the info
file this month my friend .. this is merely
an introduction to the next section of
the info file .. it will be short and to
the point .. im here to tell you all about
"THE DOWNFALL OF RAI"  or also know as
"THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION" ..

scene guy: what the heck is the downfall of rai, and why is it also known as
the mexican revolution??

splatt: well, obviously the downfall of rai is just what it says .. rai's
leading abilities had become somewhat lacking, so i started a small
guerrilla army to overtake him .. the mexican revolution is a nick name
given to the overthrow by me .. because i am mexican duh ..

scene guy: you overtook rai in the group!? HOW??

splatt: well, im going to explain to you now .. in a series of journal
entries that are going to be in this info file .. we will take exerpts from
my journal telling all about the war .. it took place in the apartment,
more information will follow in the entries ..

-- THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION -- JOURNAL ENTRIES -----------------------------------
here is a few journal entries .. the army that was led by rai will be known
as THE REPUBLIC, my(splatt) army will be known as THE REBEL ARMY .. just
read and you will find how i came to power ..

SPLATT JOURNAL ENTRY #1 .. day one

this war started with a single shot, my bullet killing one of
rai's guards .. this is gonna be one helluva war .. we're going to try
to infiltrate the kitchen by simply forcing ourselves into it, if that
doesn't work, we may have to think of some sort of strategy to get us
in there, the key to winning this war is to take over the kitchen ..
from the kitchen we can move on to the bathroom, where rai is staked
out .. i sent some scouts out to check out what kind of defenses rai
had set up .. after waiting for 3 hours (they were supposed to be back
in 2) i decided to go ahead and see what had happened .. when i came to
the entry of the kitchen, i saw the bodies of my men shoved into a
small trashcan .. WAR IS HELL ..

SPLATT JOURNAL ENTRY #2 .. day three

it's hot .. too hot .. i can hardly think out here, let alone
fight a war .. someone needs to fix this damn air conditioner, it
feels like a sauna in here .. the fighting has become worse on both
sides, my men are dropping like flies .. casualties are entering into
double digits .. i don't know how long we can keep this up ..

SPLATT JOURNAL ENTRY #7 .. day twelve

after many days of fighting we have been pushed back all the way
to the furniture, we are forced to hide behind the lazy-boy and the
love seat .. they constantly bomb us with grenades, men are dying out
here, lots of them .. numbers are entering the triple digits, our plan
for the straight ahead attack has failed .. we will have to develop a new
tactic to get inside that damn kitchen .. we will make camp here at
the furniture and plot our next attack, we will need to rest up, the
battle is going to take place in three days, we will succeed .. this
battle, the BATTLE OF COUCHNER, would be won by the republic ..

SPLATT JOURNAL ENTRY #8 .. day fourteen

we have one more day until we strike .. it has been quiet in
the republic's base .. we will attack late, in order to surprise rai's
sleeping army, there is no way we can fail .. they have almost impenetrable
pillows blocking the kitchen entrance .. they are as strong as 5 foot thick
concrete walls barring our path to victory .. we will attempt to kick the
walls over tommorow at midnight ..

SPLATT JOURNAL ENTRY #9 .. day sixteen

we just finished attempting our second plan to get into the
kitchen .. although we gave it our all, we lost about 15 men and were
again pushed back behind the furniture .. it wasn't 100% failure tho,
we managed to kill a few republic soldiers and knocked out one
of the 4 pillows blocking the kitchen entrance .. while they try to
repair that, we will have time to plan another quick attack and we
will hope to knock a few more out .. we start our next attack soon,
or we will miss our chance .. although we had lost our second battle,
the BATTLE OF LAZYBOY, spirits still remained high at our rebel base ..

SPLATT JOURNAL ENTRY #10 .. day seventeen

today we were succesful in destroying all 3 of the remaining
pillows! we have staked out our new camp right in the entrance to the
kitchen, we can go no further until we have receuperated from the
damages we got from the days battle .. the battle was brilliant, it
will go down in history, we started with our snipers taking out as
many of the wall repairmen as we could, we managed to take out 10
of the 12 that were there, we then followed it up with our infantry
moving in to the area and kicking out the pillows, after taking
out a few of the guards in the surrounding area, we had achieved
victory, the BATTLE OF KITCHENDOOR will go down in history as
the turning point in the war!

SPLATT JOURNAL ENTRY #11 .. day eighteen

our luck has turned to better and better, today we totally
demolished the entire kitchen area, nothing could stop us! rai's
forces are running scared, this is by far the greatest military
achievement in the history of the world! THE BATTLE OF THEKITCHEN
is the biggest rebel victory yet! we killed over 200 enemy
soldiers today .. we will capture the bathroom soon!

SPLATT JOURNAL ENTRY #16 .. day twenty-four

after days and days of grueling fighting, we finally achieved
complete victory .. our nukes were too strong for their bathroom
locks, although they were strong, we were stronger .. after forcing
rai to sign a cease-fire and turn over possesion of eclipse to
me and lagomorph, we took him to a secret prison deep beneath
the sofa cushions .. he will remain there for a while, who knows
when he will unleash his wrath again and try to take back eclipse ..
we hope that we can keep the scene safe from savages like him, it was
a giant victory for all ansi-kind today .. the battle that ended it
all of course was called TOILETBURG ..

that caps off the journal entries during our war .. since rai
is gone for now, me and lagomorph will run the group until rai
comes back snivelling and begging to be the leader again .. who knows,
maybe rai will run the group again someday .. <g>

-- THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION -- ECLIPSE INFO FILE ---------------------------------
on to the actual eclipse news .. during the time between
this and the last pak's release rai's 888 to his bbs, fall from grace
went down .. rai actually got into some trouble with it and will not
really be in this pak .. we created a clever way to get him out of
the pak for this month with this war story, but we send all our
regards to rai and wish him well .. by what we have seen so far,
rai doesnt look like he will get in much trouble, he is denying
ever having knowledge of the 888 which will probably make his
punishment minimal.

AMERICA'S MOST WANTED UPDATE

the phone company decided to DROP the charges on rai because
he denied having knowledge of the 888 being on his line. so the
phone company had nowhere to go. we're glad to have him back and
well.

BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM

anyways, on to group news. we lost a member this month, TNA
(the night angel) because he "didn't like his dualing experience"
(he was in ice at the same time he was in eclipse) .. we wish
him well back at ice and thank him for atleast considering and
releasing with us and stuff .. he was kind enough to supply us
with a diz, a sort of 'goodbye gift' if you will. we thank
for his efforts even when he is leaving. other than that, we have
stayed the same with members, we are trying to look into the whole
smokey situation, he hasn't released something in the last two
paks, so we may drop him next month. but if you read this smokey,
just get in CONTACT with us and we'll gladly get you back in,
we just need to know yer alive. =) At the last moment before this
pack was release i got wind that cheeze, one of our great artists
is dropping out from the artscene. <sniff> he is releasing with us
in this pack, but this will be his last release ever. =(  here are
cheeze's last words:

well, it finally happened.. im fed up with the scene.  its pointless,
and i cant even draw anymore.. i have no ideas, and evidentally i have lost all
talent that i may have had.  i may be around everynow and then, but don't expectto see any art from me.  if we had a trade going, i'll try to finish your ansi,
but otherwise by 'scene carrer' is over.

and in case your wondering what im gonna do with doink, i'll prolly
leave it up for a little while, and might try to sell it or something <shrug>.

the scene is just a waste of my time so i'm throwing in the towl.  so i
guess i'll stop waisting your time.. if you wanna talk with me for some reason,
mail me at yar1@cris.com, or talk with me on irc periodically..

later to all you guys .. rai, splatt, gunthar, ellis, frac, exulted, balls, lagomisfit, penn, ringy, crayon, torgo, ad, diez, cu, defiant, flame, napalm, muff,
sd, fury, ds, tcg, pyro, clorox, xten, megadose, wator, holo, smokey, horrid,
and anyone i may have missed.. ill miss you guys.
-cz

the eclipse gang wishes him a happy and fun time in the real world.         we're gonna miss ya cheeze :'(  visit sometime or something..
we will leave cheeze in the member list for a time so we do not forget
him or what a great time we had together. BON VOYAGE CHEEZE!#@
