irato's first pack news letter...     1 de 2 caliss !@#$%^&*() =)

hi there! this is FlyingSquirrel from quebec and i'm writing this to announce
the creation of a new group in the 4i8.

{ en espérant que ça crève pas. }

i decided to do something last month as i was looking at our scene: it's pretty
dead here and i'm gonna change that. our oldies are becoming too busy to work
on the resurrection of the bbses and some newbies are simply not interested by
that. sooo, i created irat-0.

{ est-ce que j'aurais dus parler de l'incompétence? :) }

inet takes more and more space in our life and i can't figure out that our
bbses will disappear.

- kewl man but what is irato and what does it mean?

firstable, irato is a school group.. i mean, we aren't lords in any way, we're
just trying to do something and we're working very hard to improve our skills.

irato comes from latin. i choosed this language 'cause i think it's universal
and hum.. i love that name of course. it means something like "by a wind of
anger" but i'm not sure of the translation.

{ en fait, je suis pas sur du nom non-plus. mais bon on s'en caliss =) }

the concept of the group isn't really new. i have currently added some
uncommon divisions like [emags], [demos] and some other things that i can't
remember...

by the way, we'll produce miscellaneous packs which means that you certainly
find something interesting in them. starting with artwork, coding, passing
through emags and demos stuff, usefull source-code and news from the scene.. i
don't think it can be more complete. oops. i've almost forgot the musik
division.. yes we're also doing mods, s3m, xm, mp3, ect..

{ ca doit être parce qu'on a trop de musiciens !@#$%^&*() }

"who the hell are you!?" ...          la est la question...

{ je suis un imbecile en train de se tapper une lettre de 6O pages pour votre
divertissement baptême. je suis crissement écoeuré pis je gèle dans mon salon }

i heard this one over and over again so i decided to wrote this small
description of me and what i am doing / going to do.

first of all, in case you were wondering about it, i am irato's president.
i'm 19 years old and i live with my pop' in a small, dirty appartment near the
popular Roi de la patate. my first vocation was to code but i tried to draw
some ansis a few weeks ago and i liked it. now you know me. =)

seriously, i'm just a noname who's making his place. i think that the scene is
a big class where everyone got his chair.. i'm trying to make other people
life's better by what i draw or say. i spent a lot of time watching other
guys stuff's and i was wishing i was just like them. now, the time has come to
prove me that i can do the same and i hope that someone will follow my way.

{ avouez que je vous ai presque fait pleurer là!? =) }

my old handle was DarkShadow.. that's why my ansis are signed dS... i changed
my handle as i started to wrote this news letter because i've heard of another
guy who was wearing this name too.

what's new this month?                l'automne calvasse.

are you kidding?

everything's new this month. it's our first pack. can't you understand that,
you dummy!? please apologize or i'll call my mommy. and i'll do...

that's all for now :]

it's irat-0 recruitment time!█████████pis apres c'est la relache =)-~

if you are talented in some ways [drawing, coding, musik] and if you want to
show your stuff to the whole world.. you can always join us.

we are looking for new guys to make the group bigger and more efficient.

also, if you just wanna bring your collaboration for an emag or whatever, we'll
be please by that. we are also looking for member boards _out_ of our area code

{ arrêtez d'applyer pour devenir distro / whatever, si ça continu tous les}
{ boards vont etre membres !@#$%^&*() pis j'accepte pus personne d'abord. =P  }

see "how to reach us" later in da' letter.

oh yeah, some logos for our promo will be also appreciate. :]

notes from members...                 c'est nous les elites ;P

this month, an interview with our favorite whq sysop... =)

{ avouez que c'est rad un interview dans une news letter! si vous voulez voir }
{ à quoi ressemble l'original, vous pouvez toujours me le demander...         }

atomik punk.

flying squirrel = fs.
atomik punk = ap.

fs> hello.

ap> hi.

fs> why did you decided to join irato?

ap> for the fun of it :)

fs> it's a pretty good reason but you don't have any goal? like making some
fs> money or showing what you can do to the world?

ap> well in fact, yes.. i have the taste to restart the quebec scene.. i
ap> tried without obtaining any kind of success last year cause the 418 guys
ap> were too busy to work out on my project. it was a big flop. so, me and
ap> phantasy man decided to start another pseudo-group... it was another flop
ap> ( we released only once for about 1 year of existence :))

fs> what are you thinking that an artwork group is suppose to do exactly?

ap> i think that all the artwork's dudes wants to express something, to liber
ap> themselves from the taste of drawing. i know that most people are not
ap> thinking like me, but this is what i believe. i think that drawing is a
ap> hobby like any others. the big joke is that we are becoming tired of the
ap> thing very soon. i don't know why but i know it's pretty dull to draw
ap> alone. but when the newbies gets interested, it's all restarting again.
ap> this will happen another time with the arriving of a new group in quebec.

fs> that's very well. so, if i understand, you are approving the idea of
fs> creating "school groups" to educate today's generation!?

ap> completely. i think that i'm not a pretty good artist and that is giving
ap> me the chance to ameliorate myself... by the way, everyone got to start
ap> from the beginning and i have to say that it is not always easy to improve
ap> our skills with our own methods when, there is no other person to comment
ap> your stuff and tell you some tips. at the opposite, in a group like this
ap> one, you know that you can always count on someone to evaluate yourself.    ap> the result, is that we're all becoming better in our division.

fs> okay. now, by definition, can you tell me what's a good artist for you?

ap> the artist that we can consider like "good", in my opinion, produces stuff
ap> that we like to see over and over again, without having to say "i love
ap> this guy, so i have to love his creations".. a "good" artist is also
ap> someone who's giving himself in his own pictures.. he's having his own
ap> style and he's the only one of his kind.

fs> don't you think that beeing proud of what you are doing is the most
fs> important thing in beeing a good artist?

ap> obviously yes.. if you are drawing, you got to love what you are doing
ap> first. in the opposite case, it's strongly possible that you'll be tired
ap> before releasing 5 or 6 times. but well, it is very rare to see somebody
ap> who dislikes what he's doing, to continue in this specialisation.

fs> you got the truth man! something different now, do the bbses cause is
fs> important for you?

ap> hum well, not really... the bbses cause is interesting of course, but
ap> there are too many boards with leech in head. but well, i think that a
ap> good board gots a regular members database and some active mailing
ap> sections... i can see that many others system operators aren't taking
ap> care of this point. this is why i'm not really considering the publik
ap> bbses cause, like interesting. i lost that "BoardsAreGreats" idea that i
ap> was defending in the past.

fs> what's your favorite board ever?

ap> hum.. let me see.. lost world, yeah, i think that lost world was the
ap> better board back in time. all the users we constituating a big family
ap> like. and one day, paaaf, the sysop's hard disk exploded :)

fs> your favorite artwork group by now?

ap> i don't really have a prefered one. i mean, ice, katharsis, fire, mist and
ap> some others are really kicking ass. but i have to say that my newest pack
ap> is dated from 1996 so it's pretty difficult to say that with accurancy :)

fs> and your favorite artist to stay in the subject?

ap> eerie is very well... in spite of the fact that he is passed somewhere
ap> else than quebec a few years ago, it was an excellent local artist.

fs> are you willing to use irato like a spring-board to bigger groups or are
fs> you only making part of it to do some activities in the quebecoise scene?

ap> i think that i'll stay around here as long as possible. for sentimental
ap> reasons :) i don't really have the intention to use irato like a spring
ap> board as you were saying... i prefer the local atmosphear to the
ap> competition feeling that i'll get if i join a bigger group. it is not
ap> essential to me to make some fans around the world :)

fs> privacy seems important to you, am i wrong?

ap> it is always more fun to know the man you are talking to. for sure, you
ap> don't really need to know the other members of the group to draw but it's
ap> a way better. i prefer when i can talk to someone without using inet. it
ap> is the same for transfer and the rest... you can do more than talking and
ap> shooting always your stuff to the prez..

fs> well, i guess that's ok for this month dude. see you later.

ap> bye.

fs> oops, wait a minute, i've got to give you an ansi for your board =)

ap> will you tell me how nice it is for beeing near of each other? :)

i hope you liked it..

advertising section...                les annonces classées...

here it is, the advertisig section. i'll put anything decent in this part of
the news letter. so, if you want to announce something, feel free to upload it
to me.

coming soon...                        meilleur avant 01/01/2023.

actually, i have a lot of projects regarding the group.

{ mais pas personne pour les réaliser estie. }

first of all, i'll try to make an "irat-0 view" or something like that for the
next pack.

we will also do plenty of utilities for the bbses, especially TéGé. man, this
soft rules!

as you probably seen, we don't have that much large pics in this pack.. i'll
try to fix that for the next pack too. but we are a bit short of time.. you
know, with the school, girls and narcotic substances, it's pretty difficult to
draw =|)

{ surtout quand y faut faire du rattrapage en plus ;( }

if we get any volunteers to make pack reviews, i'll probably include that too
in our's.

i'll try to open our web site and our irc channel for the next month but i'm
really not sure that i'll be in time. it's a cash problem this time.

if you wanna add an advertising in this news letter, simply upload it to me
with a short message explaining why i must publish it. if the reason is good
enough, you'll be able to see your advertising in the next pack. please note
that i will not accept any ansi longer than 25 lines.

{ anecdote : la dites section sert juste a mettre un peu de couleurs dans la
news letter. essayez d'être plus poche que ça! =) }

so, for the moment, enjoy what you've already got =)

notes and greetz...                   assurance-vie. =)

i would like to thanx all the members which are working very hard for the group
and some collaborators, if i can call them like that, for the help they've
gaven me or what they've done.

so the greetz goes to, in alphabetical order...

- burnout{ pour avoir laissé son board servir de cobaye }
- cyre{ le gars qui run un board elyth =) [msny] }
- decax             { le demi-dieu de l'asm ;) }
- silverthorn{ qui m'a botté le cul pour que je join kereva }
- the extremist{ pour ses encouragements et l'application du kitsch }

and...

- inspector gadjet  { pour avoir pris la relève de kill avec dumb }

just one note this month... <g> my anglish sox a lott! =)

how to reach us...                    avec un peu de chance... =)
