\\_      Hello kids,, I present to you basic six!back2da basics!..        __//
We got a  slammin pack  for your eyes  this month with
:      both  schools! Its  been a good month, we hooked up with          |
__/\__   newskool artists jizm, kOrpse and kresile iesone, we              |
\ oO /   welcome  them to the basic crew and look forward to dope          |
/_/\_\   art! ;) We also welcome seismic oldskooler to the crew!           |

:      On the bad  side,  just after basic #5 was released I             |
got an email from hOlocaust who had been  missing  for
...|..... about a week saying that his free ISP  had   expired .............|..
:  |      so he was  without an  internet connection.  He had               | :
:  |      attached two of his works and kOrpse's colly that  was            | :
:  |      supposed  to go in basic #5,  unfortunately  I   got              | :
:  |      this  too  late  and  thats why Im releasing this in #6           | :
:  |      instead. hOlocaust is still missing and I can just hope           | :
:..|..... he gets  his  mess  straightened out so that he can come .........|.:
back with us once again.
|                                                                  ,sS$Ss.
|      This  month  Cain left for Remorse, at the time I was       #$$$$$#
|      pretty  pissed at the whole  situation but now I look       ` -.- '
_|__    back and if this is really what you want to do cain then    ( .-. )
//______ its coo, we're still bro's, good luck.                 __oO__`---'oOo

______\\ After  a generally good month  but still  ruff  Ive        //_______
\\_      decided to appoint another senior staff member to help           __//
me out  since   hOlocaust obviously wont be around  for
a while. I thought about it for a long time, and I chose
Midnight Judge to the job. He's been there fore me since
_|_     the day he joined up  and he's  got  the  right attitude          |
\_/     towards the scene too, I have no doubt that he's da man           |
:      for the job.                                                      |

.      Time for some group rules n shit, its been  decided that          |
basic will not release any colored ascii, its just  not           |
the  basic way. Also I want to remind everyone of  the            |
.      two  group  rule, it means if you are in basic you may            |
.      only dual with one other group. This rule is to ensure            |
:      that the artists stay  committed  to  the group  and              |
:      produce a fair amount of quality  art ,  ofcourse  we             |
_|__    still  want   quality  before   quantity. I know how it           ___
\___    is like being in more than 2 groups, a few can handle it,       ____/
/    most cant and either quit one or more after a while.            \ |

/      Ok now for another thing, we  are still taking apps so if         \
/       you think you have what it  takes  to make the basic crew         |\
/____    go ahead and send an app to blindman@algonet.se, or find       _____\
__//    a senior in #basic that can review your app.                   \\__

|  ....As for distros and HQ's we dont have any of them so dont ask..    :
|  :   This got to be one huge ass info file, if you are still reading   :
!  :   then .. gawd go look at the asciis already!                       .
