This month is a special month for ÞÛܲ±° ÛÝ Ü ÜÛÝ° ÛÝ° ÞÛ the group, because it marks the group's 2nd ßßß°° Þ² ÞÛ°±ÛÝ  ÞÛÜÜܲÝannive rsary. 2 years to this month, Teklordz ܲ±Ý Û۲߰ ß ²°Û°±²ßwas conceived by  Lawrence Manuel (Smooth) and ÜÜ°±±°ßßßRussell Sasaok a (Tekbandit). ßßÛ Back then, Teklordz was primarily a Hawaii- ° only group, but since that time we've expanded in to a worldwide organiz- ° ation, dedicated to releasing quality art, music,  and code.  ÜÜÜÜÜ  °°Ü ß °²Ü Changes to the Dualing Policy... Þ°Ü Üß ß°±²ß I am quite sure many heard rumors about O-T ron's unexpected decision to join ACiD. These rumors were true. O-Tron decided  to join ACiD, and in lieu of our old no dualing policy, was ready to leave Tek lordz. But I compromised the dualing policy, not just because of O -Tron's departure but it was suggested to me that the no dualing policy mig ht be hurting  ° us, recruitment-wise. With Teklordz far more st able than it was a year   ago, I decided to nuke the no dualing rule. How ever despite this, we'd °  still prefer those few dedicated souls. =) °°ÜÜÜÜÜ ° Ü ß  °±Ü New Senior Staff... Þ°Ü Üß ß°±²ß O-Tron decided to stay on with Teklordz,  but he also decided to step down from his Art Coordinator position. The vacant spot  was given to Extreme, who since being chosen, has performed an a wesome job coordinat- ing artists and the recruitment of members. :> Due to lack of time, Inner Vision decide d to step down as Music Coordin- ator. Ionian Mode has decided to coordinate in his  place. Nothing like a bit o' home-grown nepotism . °ÜÜÜÜÜ ° °Ü ß °±Ü Welcome New Members... Þ°Ü Üß ß°±²ß Nafarious, who was initially invited to  join Fire, decided to join Teklordz instead. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, i don' t believe, to date, that anyone has ever done that. Except, perhaps, Extreme. hehe. Night Hunter, from Israel, has joined Teklo rdz as an ansi artist. Altho he's only been drawing ansi for about 3 months, his works show lots of promise. Loki, whose ansi work you will be seeing in this month's pack, is a relatively new newcomer to the ansi scene. His work, too, shows lots of potential. :> Thanks to Extreme for recruiting th is dude. :) Gedge, a vga graphics coder from Scotland.  First Teklordz dude to do some really fast code! (hah, just kidding, Amnesia) Gedge  is also capable of doing demo effects, and i'm really not sure how we managed to pick this guy up. hehe. Actually, thanks to Amnesi a for recruiting this dude. Sulphuric, our new text coder, recruited al so for Amnesia. We'll have some projects for him the in the future. =) ÜÜÜÜÜ °°Ü ß °±Ü Departures...  Þ°Ý Üß ß°±²ß  Hellbeast, one of our coders, decided to leave Teklordz because of some personal conflicts within the group. Hydrocephalus, who leaves Teklordz for mOp!  because of mOp's no dualing- rule. ° Good luck to those who left. =) °  ÜÜÜÜÜ °°°Ü ß °±Ü Final Words... °Þ°Ý Üß ß°±²ß On a lighter note, Smooth returned to Te klordz to help me out with some of the administrative stuff for Teklordz. :> Yay! Also, special thanks to Mojo (one of our members  from a year ago) for the nifty 3D guest art. Be sure also, to check out the Teklord z Birthday s3m by our Music Coordinator, Ionian Mode. ° We hope you enjoy this month's Artipha kts. =) °ÜÜÜÜÜÜÜÜ °°°Ü ß°  °²Ü  ² ² °±Ü ts, Teklordz Member Coordinator,  Þ °±²ÛÝÝ ÜÜ Þ°Ý Üß July 13, 1996.   ° ß  ÜÜ °ß°±²ß ß-ß  ÜÜÜ  Ü Ü  °Þß Û²ÛÜÛ   Ü°±²ÛÛܲ²²ÛÛÛ²± °ÜÜ Ý Þ°Û°²ÝÝ  ßßÜÜÜÜßßßÜÜÜÜÜÜß  ° Ý° °ÛÛ°ÛÛ  Þ²°°±²ÛÛÛÛÛ²±±° Ý  ° Þ ß-ß °°°±²ÛÛÛÛÛ²±°°°    ÜÜÜÜÜ Û  Ý  ÜþÞ°±±²²ÛÛÛÛ²²±°° ² Ü  °°Ü ßß Û ÜßÜ ±² ßßßßßßßßßßßßßß Üßß²Ü °²Ü Words from Extreme...

Then while on irc the same day someone came up t o me and asked  what group I was in. I said Teklordz, he said "Teklordz,  arn't they  dead?" This didn't really shock me as it happens quite of ten. What does shock me is why people ask this question. We've released a lmost every month this year except for one to my knowledge. Come on pe ople take notice! No Teklordz is not dead yet, this great 2 year ani versary pack  ° proves that. We may not be that biggest group bu t we try hard to put   out the best stuff we can.
