Lessee.. my birthday  is on May 5th..  so i d
ecided to  keep from releasing  thepack un
til that date.. ya know, just for fun..

Hmm.. i'd like to that Poetic Justice for making this all "pr
ofessional" lookingand fixing grammer, spelling, etc..

Well I know I'm missing a lot of stuff that I should
be saying but I'm too  lazyto try to remember it all,  so
I'll  hope that nc will be able to say somethingabout it.

So I hope you enjoy the pack..

neochronyk's notes:

Welcome to flood's first  catastrophic  production.   Afte
r about 3 months ofdelay, we're finally getting our first
pack out.  As of today, most of the groupis out of the 403
, but that has shit to do with talent. There is something
aboutthis area code that pumps out great artists.  I  woul
d like to extend a personalgreeting to some other 403 big-
guys,  Ghengis [ACiD]  (you owe me a keyboard :))Treason [
ACiD], and Nuremberg [ACiD.ASCii] (warez-puppy in disguise)

Needless to say this is my first "notes",  and  I  don't
really  read  othergroups' notes, so I have no idea what t
o write. If you're wondering what flood'sabout, it's like
this.  So far we're mostly ASCII,  and damn fine ASCII at
that.We have a couple great ANSI dudes,  and we're a littl
e short on VGA.  We are allfriendly, and no one has an ego
.  Most importantly, we do not act black.

Lastly,  I'd  like  to  point  out the pathetic turn the a
rt scene is taking.People seem to think it's okay to be in
15 groups,  hop  in bed with every othergroup they meet,
and act like they're black-ass-bitches. It makes the scene
looklike it's run by 14 year little fucks.  Quit it with
the "j00 lIke dA wuu-TANg!"shit, and draw and be modest.
This  has  to  be  the main reason ACiD is such aquality g
roup,  you don't see shit like that.  Another problem is eg
o-ass motherfuckers  thinking  they're so hot cause they d
raw.  Well  here's  the deal: thisis a computer,  and  no
matter how well you draw, if you don't have a REAL life,yo
u're a loser.  Quit thinking this is reality and  this  is
all  that matters.Join a group  that you like,  support t
hat group,  and  don't  act  black, causeyou're not and yo
u look like a bunch of fucking idiots.

Lastly lastly, we are currently searching for more members.
However  we  willnot take the turn most  new  groups  do
when  they're  desperate  and  take  inshitty artists.
We  will  maintain  a  high  quality level in all of our p
acks.I would rather have 30k of quality, than 200k of 170k
shit.  If anyone wishes toapply, mail one of the email ad
dresses, or call my board (tth:403:252:7694)  andapply for
an account by leaving a matrix feedback to me  with  your
intent  andarea code,  or  contact a member via IRC.  Tha
t's all I have to say.  Enjoy  thefirst flood pack.
