Now this is shaman Just coming to tell the story. Some updates and such. ² First off, I will speak of the twisted troubles. twisted came extremely close to dying. this was the first troubles we've ever had within the group. Morale was beginning to decrease as school begun and art lessened. A small crew, we had troubles getting enough art to release monthly packs. And artists were beginning to grow weary of a group that cant release monthly packs. =(. Our artists were definately getting lazy, and thinks looked very terrible for us. So, I believe we may have even died for a couple hours there. But then we decided we would release a final pack. So... in a last attempt to keep the group alive, (been going for about a year now), we tried some new member recruiting. toth(blade) worked hard to get us some new artists, and then our morale slowly increased until now and hopefully with the release of a good pack twisted will be flyin high! I know I have twisted fever!! So, just to clear things up. This pack is NOT our farewell/last pack. We are goin strong! Well, putrid carcass has stepped down as pack co-ordinator leader guy. And gus has taken over the reigns. Myself and gus are now pretty much the 2 leader/organizer guys. And toth kind of too =). twisted had² a unique concept going of having no seniors and everything settled by votes and such. But with the turmoil we went through we decided that² they were needed. ± ° ² ² ²²±±²±±°±°°   °°±°±±²±±²² ² ²  members.. shaman ° ± ² Now, new members, toth has recruited a couple new artists. I'm still questioning the loyalty of his recruits though =). A vga artist ² iNCABUS he recruited one day. But as far as I know incabus has not returned to #twisted or submitted any work, so therefore he is not a member of twisted. Another member taco is new to twisted. Gus and I decided that he has the potential to create some nice ansis so we let him in. (sorry fate! we'll vote from now on =) ). Also another member named slice will be a possible twisted member if I can just see some of his stuff and we can vote on it =). both taco and slice are warez kiddies like toth =)Also, Krypt Keeper has signed on to twisted and hes a kickass coder so we are glad to accquire him. ² shaman`twisted² shaman@netcom.ca ± ° ² ² ²²±±²±±°±°°   °°±°±±²±±²² ² ² clarifications.. shaman ° ± ²The bbs modding section of twisted is not underway yet. So to clear up what gus said. spuz and zang are not members of twisted. Even though ² spuz is like our ircbot =). The bbs modding section is just a plan we may have. The twisted webpage is currently under production by orbital. so I hope to have that up and underway. Uhmmm, anything concerning the group can be emailed to me at shaman@netcom.ca. Also, join #twisted whenever ya can. Theres always people there. Hope you liked the pack! and see you next monf!!
