Welcome to the first pack of the beginning of our second yea
r in the scene.     That's right, if you haven't been
with us for the last few months (and i'd
understand it, since the group has been pretty fucked up rec
ently), you might
not know that we have released our first anniversary pack la
st month. Anyways,
this month, we have a pack that's alot smaller than last mon
th's because we're
only 2 weeks late instead of 2 months. Isn't that great? :)

Again this month, we gained a few members. Three to be exact

Bizzarro  :  Not much has to be said abou
t Bizzarro. He runs Nerp and
he draws some pretty cool fonts. He has a weird st
yle thatI really can't explain.

Knocturnal:  I really have no idea what t
o say about him, except that
he's pretty good. He also does graff.. so maybe ex
pect
some graff stuff from him..?

Vade79    :  Yes, Vade joined us. He kind
a left his inactivity to join
us, but I don't think we're gonna get much fr
om him. But,
we're still fucking glad to have him in. :)

Nobody left this month, but we removed FrgnFruz for
inactivity. He had been leftout of the member listing
by accident last month. But it's not like it changes
anything, since he has been so inactive that I haven't had a
ny news from him
for four months.

I just cleaned up the member section. There was some people
who had to be moved
to the Alumni section and stuff. If you wanna see who exactl
y, just take a look
at this month's member listing. :)

Well, it's still pretty messed up in here, but not because o
f the little time
I have dedicated to AWE lately. No, cauz I'm finally
in xmas vacation and I'm
only going back to school on January 26th. It's mess
ed up cauz I have a bad timetrying to get all the stu
ff from our members. So next month (I hope they're al
l
reading this), if I don't get their stuff 2 or 3 days before
we release, or an
email saying they have nothing, I'm just gonna kick em out.
And I'm gonna do it
trust me. There's a limit to any unorganization and we've re
ached it. I may see
really fucked up if you're not inside, but it's not *that* f
ucked up. It just
gets on my nerve to release a pack two weeks late. Especiall
y since we released
the last one two months later than what we were supposed to.

Besides that, it's getting better here everyday. When I deci
ded to take a few
hours to work on the group, it helped alot cauz now we have
a mailing list so wecan get in touch with eve
ryone and almost everybody is on ICQ.

While I'm talking about ICQ, you might've noticed th
e numbers beside our names
in the member listing. Those numbers are our ICQ num
bers. You can reach almost
everybody there if you have ICQ, or you can email em
via ICQ even if you're not
on it by emailing em to <icq number>@pager.mirabilis.com
. If they're connected
to the internet, they'll get your message even if they're no
t on irc or if they
are not scanning for their emails.

We also have a chat room on ICQ. This is something like an I
RC channel. But I'm
not sure if anyone can come in it. You might wanna try it by
chatting Gunthar,
who's the chat room owner/operator (icq number: 5685586
). Members in general
haven't used it much lately, but this is mostly cauz it's pr
etty new.

We've had changes in positions this month. Agathocles
, who used to "run" the ripdivision is being rep
laced by Fat Pacifist. We thought it would be
better like
this, since Agathocles has no internet account. By t
he way, we're always lookingfor rip artists. Also,
Discyple, who had taken the ascii coordinato
r position isbeing replaced by Mass Murderer
(until we hear about Discyple again at least)

because Discyple seems to have alot of work to do wi
th university and can't takecare of the division. Non
e of them have been informed of these changes, but
should be soon enough. :)

That's about it. I'm really sorry if I skipped words and if
there are lotsa
mistakes but I really had to hurry since we were late and I
had other stuff to
do. :)
