Welcome to Remorse #18.  This is the first time  I have  written an NFO file
in  over three years, since Remorse #2.  I'm actually even drawing again, every
once in  a while...  It's  been a long time since I did anything for any group.

Much has happened with Remorse this month. Lots of personnel shifts, six new
members:  Dead Soul,  Nine Lives,  Phreak Klass (returning), Revolution, Truman
5tarr,  Computerman.  I won't even go  into the personnel  shifts... uggh.. not
enough  time to  do that before  I go to  bed =)  -- time  to hand  this off to
Necrom, yo.

Since  Remorse #17 was  released  a minor  change has  been  made  regarding
newschool  applications. Tum  (who was already a senior) and  I approached Mark
with  the idea of handling all newschool applications, recruiting all newschool
members, and  in  general being  responsible for  anything  that has to do with
newschool  ascii in Remorse  (along with Necromancer of course). Mark liked the
idea and gave it his approval.

What  does this  mean for those  of you  considering  applying?  Instead  of
sending  your  application  to   any  Remorse  member  you'll now  send  it  to
Necromancer,  Tum,  or myself and we will  consult each other  and collectively
accept/reject your application. For the most part newschool applications should
be directed to Tum (tum81@hotmail.com) or myself (pariah@alienz.org).

For those of you that have a short  attention span I'll run it by you again.
If you're  considering  applying to  Remorse  as a newschool  asciist send your
application  to Tum (tum81@hotmail.com) or  myself (pariah@alienz.org). We will
then  ask Necromancer  what he thinks and  accept/reject your application. I'll
let Tum take it from here..

Pariah  pretty much  summed it all up. Remorse  is going through  some major
changes and we're actively recruiting. If you want us to respond to your E-mail
as  soon  as  possible,  remember  to  include  your  e-mail  address,  current
affiliations, whether or not you'd  be willing to drop it all for Remorse, and,
of course, a minimum of five of your best logo's/pictures.

Remorse is back, and with a vengeance.  And remember, the secret password to
get automatically accepted is  "Ickle me, Tickle me, Pickle me, Dickle me too."
We will try to respond to all applications as soon as possible.

If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wiser, a liar,
A hoper, a prayer, a magic bean buyer,
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!

Alright, this time  around, I'll  write last.  I'm here to let you know that
I've  pretty much  admitted  that yes, I DO need help  in running a group.  And
since  I've admitted  this little fact, I've found something out: Help is good.
TUM and Pariah  have single-handedly  turned our  newschool section around, and
increased  the overall quality  and production of the  group tenfold. For this,
you both have my eternal thanks.

I actually don't know if there's  anything useful for me to add to this NFO,
but  hey,  I  feel like  doing something  other than  putting  it  together. :)

Here.  Bands listened to while  composing/editing  this NFO and pack:  Front
Line Assembly,  NWA,  Decree,  Skinny  Puppy,  Carcass,  Bile,  Pitch  Shifter,
Wu-Tang, Numb and Mozart.

Ahh.. which reminds me.  Defrimental actually joined the group at one point,
produced a couple of asciis under the Remorse label,  and then decided to leave
the group.  Why?  Well.. from what I saw, he felt  like he  had left his Odelay
brethren behind -- so he went back to them, I assume. Good luck Def, and it was
fun having you for those few short days. :)

Also,  we have a couple of  guests  this pack,  and a magic appearance  from
Fractal!  Fractal hasn't released ascii in QUITE a while, but he's a brutha, he
rocks, and so we're here for him.  And in addition to Fractal guesting  (well..
sort of a re-appearance,  not really a guest,  considering he is a member),  we
have Subsonic and Volatile guesting in this month's pack! w00p!

And for  your viewing pleasure.. some  IRC quotes.  Ok, it's tacky,  I know,
but oh well. They're amusing.

(elmaestro) ok, lemme rephrase this question.. WHAT ARE YOU ALL THANKFUL FOR
BESIDES ANSI RELATED SHIT!
(nMANCEr) I'm thankful for my boogers, because they protect the vulnerable
inner lining of my nostrils.

(r-bugsy) [dyone(scott@sial128.bc1.com)] fuck, wopface, i give you my ascii, i
give you free room and board, i cook and clean for you, and this is how
you repay me?
(r-bugsy) [dyone(scott@sial128.bc1.com)] Anyhow, go buy some antiseptic
mouthwash. your breath smells like shit, you garlic-chewing wop

<nECROM> mESSIAH: My name is NOT Marc. That's short for Marcus. And if you
rearrange the letters in Marcus, you get Suc Ram.

(omiTRKY81) <meatpod> I had this long conversation with this girl about my

(omiTRKY81) <meatpod> but she probably didnt even want to talk about it
(r-bugsy) im sure it was more of a short talk

(hIRO-81) or at least big ears
(r-bugsy) i have a big dick, jaggy.
(cash) Hey I got a big dick AND big ears at the dollar store.
(nMANCEr) HAH! LITTLE DO YOU KNOW THAT I ALREADY HAVE BIG EAR.. er.. dick.

(omiTRKY81) tr; did you compile a kernel with a sound driver for that card? and
did you set the IRQ/DMA/etc/etc shit right?
(tEAtEW) kernel?

(nMANCEr) wise-k: But I'll tell you this, there's nothing quite like the
feeling of a shorn scrotum.

(stoOn`81) i'll probably never get a fucken quote.

(stoOn`81) now i go get dressed.
(nMANCEr) Dressed?
(nMANCEr) WHO NEEDS CLOTHING WHEN YOU CAN BASK IN THE COMFORTING GLOW FROM YOUR
MONITOR WHILE DRAWING ASCII?!

(nMANCEr) Are you saying that there aren't any Canadian Jews?
<nMANCEr) Soon you'll be saying there aren't any black Jews.
(nMANCEr) AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, SAMMY DAVIS JR. WILL TURN IN HIS GRAVE

(nMANCEr) I'm compiling like a madman, phear me.
(nMANCEr) I'm compiling on my Sparc20 here at work, telnetting to my home
machine and compiling on THAT, telnetting to qpt.com and compiling
THERE
(nMANCEr) I ROCK
(nMANCEr) I AM THE COMPILE MASTER
(nMANCEr) OOOH I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO "MAKE INSTALL"
(jwhyne) MAKE INSTALL!!!!!!!!!!
(nMANCEr) No.
(nMANCEr) Must not rush.
(nMANCEr) Slow and steady wins the compiling race.
(nMANCEr) I must first pray to Compilana, the God of Good Compiles.
(nMANCEr) Pray for a safe deliverance to the land of New Software, where all
dance in glee.
(nMANCEr) FUCK
(nMANCEr) ERRORS
(nMANCEr) MY PRAYERS GO UNHEEDED.
(nMANCEr) I DENOUNCE YOU, COMPILANA, GOD OF NO GOOD COMPILES
(PetrDoubt) You pray to the wrong gods.
(nMANCEr) What Gods would you have me pray to, oh Peter that doth doubt?
(PetrDoubt) Hail Eris, goddess of all that frustrates.
(nMANCEr) Ye heathenous Gods of Apple, perhaps?
(nMANCEr) UNPIOUS PAGAN! I SPIT UPON THE GROUND YOU HAVE WALKED AND CURSE YOUR
PROGENY FOR 10 GENERATIONS.
(nMANCEr) This angers me. I was looking forward to KDE, as opposed to this
aesthetically-displeasing CDE that doth plague the very soul of my
SparcStation.
(cdy) cde isn't too bad
(nMANCEr) You just like CDE because it's almost cdy.
(cdy) haha
(nMANCEr) Yeah. You laff.
(cdy) Damnit quit spreading rumours
(cdy) ;)
(nMANCEr) But I'm the one sitting here in my miserable CDE-infected state,
having no visually-please coolness to ease my tired eyes and my
strained back.
(nMANCEr) Pleasing, damnit.
(nMANCEr) Visually-pleasing, for the love of God.
(nMANCEr) CDE angers me so much that it has cursed me with typographical
errors.
(nMANCEr) This lack of a successful compile has placed me in a foul mood. I
believe I shall cut several people off on the way home, to alleviate
the stress.
[errata] nMANCE: cut off that win95 wabi guy's.. oh.. nevermind.
(nMANCEr) errata: He shall be the first person that wishes I was going slow

(jwhyne) NO!!
(nMANCEr) Or be silenced, like the foul Windows 95 wench that you are.
(jwhyne) NEVER!
(jwhyne) i don't use windows95
(nMANCEr) Ah, but that is where you are wrong, oh non-believing one.
(nMANCEr) For you see, in your Microsoft-ridden life, you have been so
delusioned that you believe that you are actually using FreeBSD.
(nMANCEr) When in actuality, you are only using CP/M.
(jwhyne) wrong again
(nMANCEr) BAH
(errata) heh heh. CP/M.
(jwhyne) LINUX FOR ME BAAAAAAY BEEEEEE
(nMANCEr) I tire of this banter. I have Makefiles and source to modify.

(errata) hey, who here is going to the bash?
(nMANCEr) errata: I prefer TCSH, sorry.
[errata] nMANCEr: oh yeah!? well I prefer ksh!
+ errata struts his stuff.
(nMANCEr) Korn Shell. Bah.
(nMANCEr) I've had korn in my shit before.
(errata) korn rhymes with porn
(nMANCEr) That tells you something about KSH, now doesn't it?
(nMANCEr) When/where is this elusive "Bourne Again SHell"?
(errata) best.social

(jwhyne) is error 500 in some browser a bandwidth thing?
(jwhyne) i.e., used up
(PetrDoubt) Yes, could be.
(jwhyne) COULD be, what else could it be?  i got an angry email here
(jwhyne) lookin to kick my ass
(nMANCEr) Or perhaps it is merely a software glitch because the user has a
