Things aren't going so difficult, I think. Brazil's scene (is there one?) is just being born. Maybe now it will evolute.. First, I'd like to thank all the messages telling that the first pack was ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ cool.

(To the ones who have not understand, he says: 'hey dude/your ansi pack kicks ass!!!/it's really cool dude!!!!/congratulations'.... Now let's talk about beeing know.

Well, we received a great feedback of the first pack from other groups around the world and from some boards. Someones wrote after seeing the first maiden pack that was unofficialy couriered by ratan or by schizophrenia. But most of the messages come just after I had uploaded the pack to ftp.cdrom.com. It is surelly the best pack carrier to the scene worldwide. It's great to hear that the first pack was nice. In fact, that pack was just a try-out of the scene, a demo. It even didn't had an info file. This one have a great one. So the fun, my friend, begins now... ;) ÚÄÄ ÜÜÜÜÜ Ä ÜÜÜÜÜ Ä ÜÜÜÜÜ ÛßÛ ÜÜÜÜÜÜ Ä ÜÜÜÜÜ Ä ÜÜÜÜÜ Ä ÜÜÜÜÜ ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³  ÜÜÜÜ ßß ÜÜÜÜ Ûß ÜÜÜÜ Ûß ÛÛÞ ÜÜÜÜ Ûß ÜÜÜÜÜÝß ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ ÜÜÜÜÜÜܳ ³  ݱÛß ²ß ݱÛß ÝÛ ݱÛß ÝÛ ÝÛÛ ß°ÛÞ ÝÛ ÝÛþÞ ÜÜ ÜÜÜÜ Ýß ÜÜÜÜ Ýß³ ÀÄÄ ßßßßß Ä ßßßßß Ä ßßßßß  ßßß ßßßß ßß ßßßßß Ä ßßßßß Ä ßßßßß ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ Oh man, man, man. You know... I was just looking at some packs from foreign art groups. Sometimes I think... 'Oh! I completelly suck! These guys rules!'. Well... sometimes, when I'm looking at acid packs, at lord jazz pics, at unsane and splatt and even lithnn (is it correct?) logos, I think that way. BUTT recently, I was looking at some packs of medium ansi groups from countries that have a greater scene than in brazil's.. and I see their ansis, their releases... and then man, I think...'I am good!' It may look like I am feeling 'I am the master'.. no way... I know I am not so good.. BUT there are many groups around tha world that are well known, and thinking that I can do stuff as good as them and even better, makes me feel quite good... For example... I coded the application generator from zero in one week, and it was quite cool... and I coded it in a hurry!..... The application gen that is included in this pack (the version 2) is yet cooler and useful than the first one. Although it can look like acid's app gen, I've just made the most useful program I could imagine. Give a look at it, and fell free to apply! :) What I am trying to say is that.. man, maiden has a apply gen that is greater than groups that are in the scene for too much time, and some ansis are really great. And we're in our second month, and I've never been in other art group before! Is it a good start or what? Well, anyways, send your opinnions to our e-mail, maidenbr@geocities.com. ÚÄ ÜÜÜÜ ÄÄ ÜÜ ÛÛßÛÜÜ ÄÄ ÜÜÜÜÜ ÛÛÛÜ Ûß ÜÜÜÜÜ ÄÄÄ ÜÜÜÜÜÜ Ä ÜÜÜÜÜ ÜÜÜÜ ÄÄ ÜÜ Ä¿ ³ ÛÛßÛ Ûß Ýß Û Þ Ýß ÜÜÜÜÜÝÛ Û Þ ß ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ Ûß ÜÜÜÜÜÝß ÛÛßÛ Ûß Ýß ³ ³ ÝÛÛÞ ßß ÛÛ ÝþÛÛ ÛÛ ÜÜÜÜ ÛÞ ÝÛÛ ÛßÜÜÜÜ Ýßß°ÛÞ ÝÛ ÝÛþÞ ÜÜ ÝÛÛÞ ßß ÛÛ ³ ÀÄÄ ßßßßßßßß ßßßß ßß ßßßßßß ßßßß ÄÄÄ ßßßßß ÄÄÄ ßßßß ßß ßßßßß Ä ßßßßßßßß ÄÄÙ Ü ÞÛþßßß ßßß ßßßß Þ²Ý Packs and dates Þ Û The pack release was that way: all the artwork done in january (for ² example) was put in the january pack, named mdn-0196, and released ° (distributed to the BBS's) on the February 1st. But it looks like it was wrong. þ Now it is done this way: all the artwork done in january will be put in the february pack, named mdn-9602, and it will be distributed on february, 1st. NOTE the pack name - the month number was changed, and the year was put before the month (9602 in place of 0296). This is intended to the packs to be correctly sorted in the BBS's directories, beeing in alphabetic order. Conclusion: after mdn-0996, that was released on october first, comes mdn-9611, that is released november first. There is no mdn-1096. Ok? Info file As you must have seen, our first art pack didn't have an info file. Or better, yes it had - but it was just a small tiny text about the idea of creating maiden. This month's different - the info file with the member and boards listing is included in the pack. The file name is mdn-1096.nfo. (I have to say that: the info file really kicks ass). News file Also new to this pack is the maiden news. The file name is news1096.nfo, but you may already know that, you're reading the news right now. ;> Internet Another news is the maiden corporative email. It can be contacted via the email maidenbr@geocities.com (don't tell me what you think of geocities).. (I wonder who's the guy that is using the membername maiden! :] ) Along with the maiden corporative email, is the maiden homepage! Our homepage can be found at www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/alley/6211. In  the page you'll find links to get our art packs, member info, boards info and alot more. Also, you can read about our zine project - the helloween (yep, with an 'e'). And, from here to eternity :), all the maiden packs can be also found at the well known ftp.cdrom.com, at the dir pub/artpacks/incoming/artpacks. Just look to mdn*.*. It's the same dir that acid, blade and other ansi groups upload their artwork so the world can download it. Ü  ÞÛþßßß ßßß ßßßß Þ²Ý Boards Þ Û Arise, world sanctuary ² ° This month we officially have our world sanctuary. It's arise, opered by schizophrenia. He's a great guy and his board is really cool. þ Holocaust, south america sanctuary We also have now the official south america sanctuary - holocaust, opered by weapon x. This two boards have joined maiden last month (september), but, as last month's pack didn't have a member/board listing, the boards were officially included this month. Lunatic Asylum, brazilian sanctuary Brazilian sanctary is now lunatic asylum. Lunatic is opered by bugs bunny, also a new member of maiden. It's of the few art boards in brazil. Distribution Sites There are two new (the two first, heh) distribution sites: primal rage, opered by ratan, and hellbound, opered by dark murder. Ü ÞÛþßßß ßßß ßßßß Þ²Ý Members Þ Û The most important thing.. members. With the impact that the first pack ² have got, I planned to get attention from other ansi makers and get some ° cool members. þ Bugs Bunny! The first of this cool dudes is bugs bunny. I went into his board and invited him to join maiden. He's already an artist for rush. In my whole life in the scene (uhn.. 1 year) I've heard of only 2 serious brazilian ansi makers - royal voomit and bugs bunny. I've never seen any of bugs bunny artwork until the day I connected at his BBS, lunatic asylum. I must say that his admitance helps a lot in making maiden a yet cooler group. Unfortunatelly, there is some problem with bugs' hd and there isn't any ansi from him in this pack. :( That doesn't mean that there isn't any ascii. :) Soulphuree! Soulphuree is an old not-so-old friend of mine. He's a cool ascii artist and sometime ago he almost founded a group. Now I hope that, in maiden, everything runs as well as it should have run before. :) Suicide Solution! Suicide Solution is a member of rush that says that likes art very much. I'm now talking to him on the phone and in fact I don't have anything to say here. But I wish him the best luck at maiden.
