the janurary 1996 odium anthology · infor

ell it is officialy the new year now, and what better way to start it
off thenwith a god damn brand new odium anthology.  this mont
h turned out good withmost the group releasing, and over 10 ne
w members.  i don't know what else towrite here, so i'll just
give you the news.this month's news
this month, we have decided to open up two new divisions within o
dium, and thefirst is a coding division.  in order to be accep
ted to this position there isone catch, and that is that i wil
l be choosing the people capible of handlingit.  since there a
rent endless jobs floating around that need to be coded,there
isnt a huge demand for coders in the group, and this is why i will be
picking the members.  if your interested though, let me know so i
can checkyour work out.  the second division will be literatu
re, consisting of every-thing from stories to poetry, we alrea
dy have two members listed under thisposition, so we are looki
ng forward to it growing the in the future.
also this month, i decided to start doing member profiles, this month we
featured the silent killer, the filename is profile.#01! check it out or
stuff.

as far as name changes this month, shattered link changed his handle to
sodium
which now makes him sodium of odium... w0rd.

words from sodium (formerly shattered link)

this is sodium(shatteredlink). you maybe going ballistic saying 'whe
re the fuk
is axis magazine!?' ..yer probaly not, but here is the story.. a few wee
ks ago
i got blasted with the tai-pan and whisper.. along with 40% of my system
i lost all my code for axis.. except my music, fading, and pcx routines.
so.. this is whats up. im coding a small ansi review mag called 'crucifi
x'.
there isnt any articles or anything just reviews on acid, ice, legend, f
ire,
blade, and odium, by myself and lordjazz. no, we are not going to be bia
sed
like eerie and vote our group #1.. we grade the quality of the pack comp
ared
to its previous releases. all the code and pretty much all of the art wi
ll be
done by myself.. im hoping to make it monthly and stuff.. its basically
my
project for rite now. now that you know i am busy dont dump a shitload o
f
requests on me.. sodium of odium out.

odium world headquarters and distrobution sites

this month the world headquarters was changed to a different locatio
n, not much
further from the current site, defective electrolyte soup.  the board is
still
in 619, called photosynthetic shit, so if you have any reason to contact
one
of the senior staff, or drop off applications, please call here instead,
the
number is 619-744-3113!  alot of work has been put into this boa
rd, and alot
more is planned, this new site will be much more effective.

as far as distrobution sites, people still dont seem to be reading me...
so
once again, for the deaf and the dumb, ODIUM IS NOT GIVING OUT DISTRO SI
TES,
so do not ask... but to clear up confusion, if you are a member, running
a
board, that IS considered a member board.  hopefully this will be the la
st
time i have to mention this.

well thats all for this month's news, damnit what a crock of shit...
