-- january 1st, 1997., cain had this to say..

good evening, it's new years eve; and im stuck at home with my parents, watchingdave clark or whatever his name is.. fucking shitty. meanwhile, it's 1997 now,
and we here at noname would like to say the following; noname brand ascii in
1997 - happy motherfucking new phear. we're gonna remain maniacally supreme thisyear, and if we don't keep contending.. then my name is not negroid jones.

in light of new\returning\leaving members.. we had a fucking hay day this month,cheg it;  to start it off, my good friend flame returns to the tribe, to kick
some flame stylee for us, now we're not sure how much work he'll have.. but it'sdamn good to have him back., in other news, haji comes off the inactive list,
due to his quitting remorse ascii., defiant, an ascii pimp who moved over to us
from the recently semi-deceased s0ap (rip), joined.. did one ascii, and decided
to leave.. because he felt ascii wasn't for him, thats ok bro, much love., also
d3mented, and skatter moved to us from s0ap (rip) to release their dopeness, oneproblem being the fact that i can't find d3mented.. ahh well, he'll show up
eventually, they always do., the prodigy, a good bud of mine comes to us from
his own group, odelay.. good to have him around., and one last pimp; caithor,
comes to us from his elite european scene, he does some nice, colored ascii,
cheg out his colly this month., ahh yes, one more tek, he's dope, no work this
month though;  a big shout out to all new and returning members!

umm, what else is there to talk about?.. ahh yes; the pack =). there is a few
things you should really take the time to look at, number 1 being the *.bin's
that are being released this month, they are REALLY good., big ups to polymorph
and purify, the two swedes for drawing them =).  umm there really isn't much
going on this month with us, we're just kicking ass. a couple things to look
for are my all-ascii board - the deep - ., should be up soon, and big ups to
necromancer by keeping bbs's alive with his telnet board - back in the day -.,
good stuff there man. bah.

To whom it may concern,

An ascii is a light, delicate pancake with a French name.  It may
be sprinkled with sugar and a few drops of lemon juice, or encase an
unending variety of fillings.
Many great dishes evolve from simple beginnings.  An appetizer
made from leftover ham, chicken or turkey tucked into an ascii, makes a
perfect beginning to a fine meal.  Seafoods or vegetables may be incor-
porated into a sauce and spread into an ascii for a main course.  A handful
of fresh fruit wrapped into an ascii and flamed with brandy will make a
spectacular ending to the finest dinner.
Ascii, blintzes and pancakes have evolved from many countries.
With scattered regions developing their own specialty, it is not surprising
that their name evokes a certain nostalgia that few other foods can match.
Not so long ago a wealthy Russian would dine on buckwheat blintzes filled
with black caviar and topped with sour cream; the less affluent had red
caviar and the poor had a revolution -- but always there was ascii.
Serving ascii with three or four different fillings can be the
foundation of many a successful party.  The fillings can be made ahead of
time and kept warm in chafing dishes, fondue pots or on warming trays.
Guests will often try their hand at making their own ascii, and at the end
of the evening you don't even have to wash the pots and pans.  Toss a few
asciis around, and your reputation as a pimp is made forever.  Certainly
nothing could be easier.  Countless times I have seen people timorously
approach an ascii and discover that they too can be as theatrical and
flamboyant as the suavest Maitre d' ascii pimp on the boardwalk!

With Love,
Discyple
XOXOXOX

-- thank you discyple, your theories are much appreciated.

DOODLERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!!

This month was the month i finally joined noname! no i did not have to
do any sexual deeds for ca1n to get in; anything anyone else tells you is a liE
Since i haven't released since October this is by far, my largest release, and
logo-wise my best.  noname is now in a big competition with remorse, consider-
-ing we're pretty much the only two ascii groups left to fight with (skill
wise).  This has started long fights in #ascii about "who is the best."

A new thing has happened to #noname.. it was, yes, occupied!  Through
all this time #noname has remained empty for all those noname lovers to wonder
"where do they go??"  Not even the noname artists knew what irc channel to go
to.. so they all sat idle wondering.  So all you idlers can join #noname now!
Our new bot is "Septik" who knows how long it will last but it's there for
all to come poke and look at.

-- on january 1st, 1997.. savage dragon had this to say..

hi.  i think an introduction is in order here.  i'm savage dragon.  i've been innoname since the start and nobody fuggin knows OR cares.  just thought i'd drop
a friendly reminder.

anyways .. it's been months since you last heard me bitch so .. i gotta lotta
(woo that rhymes) shit to complain about.  hmm .. gotta think.

okay well .. anyways.  history lesson for you.  i used to be able to draw ascii
i wasn't too bad, but over the past 2 months i haven't been able to do SHIT.
it has not been fun.  i got ONE thing in this pack .. (sorry) but it took me
the whole month to do something semi-releasable.  i'm back on track now though
discyple and cain wouldn't let me give it up.  thank you.  also .. i used to be
like .. a colour ascii freak.  now it sucks.

<SavgDrgn> gimme something to complain about biznatch.  i forget everything
you did to piss me off.

i just said that to cain.  it's 3:00 .. it's new years day now i guess, he's
baked to shit, i'm half drunk and i only have 30 mins to write this damn thing
in.

<ca1n> i don't care... you have 5 mins.  starts NOW.  i'll release without you
i don't give a fuck.  fuck man, i'm sick of this shit.  HURRY THE FUCK UP       I GOTTA GO PARTY SOME MORE.

ack .. i don't think he's too happy.  ahh well .. fuck'em.  anyways .. next
month i'll have more work I PROMISE ..... AND i'll do the info earlier than
30 minutes before we release.  my new years resolution or something.  anyways
we're bringin 97 in wif a bang.  phear.  happy new year.  <-- eh?  check the
freestyle (cain/discyple)
