_introduction? (by poti)

everything seems to become better day by day. cases which seemed
to be fallen
in everlasting sleep - all of a sudden - stand up and kick ass ag
ain. ansi
has been reanimated. thanx to avenge, legion, zenith and all the
other groups
that released the last months. some groups even leave their grave
s to gladden
their fans again: welcome back, force.
europe is getting pretty calm, though. most of the ansi-enthusias
m of the
last years is gone. all the groups are gone as well. where are yo
u? fuel?
blend? mean scheme? tiny toons? sargahd? phat? how much have you
gotten away
from us? shaitan? trc? alecs? outraider? bisounours? do you still
read this?
anyone of you still remember the cool time we had?
we at black maiden seem to have gotten into a more stable rhythm.
after two months another fresh pack on your harddisc.

still. we do not want to forget you. fuel. fire. awe. we love you

_hallucinating? (by avenger)

i was gonna start this infofile quite pessimistic, but since it s
eems the
ansi scene slowly changes for good again, i won't bore you with a
nother
bunch of "ansi is dead"-messages. we've heard them too often alre
ady.

namely legion and avenge put out great packs in the last weeks. i
would lie
if i said those packs are the best ever, but nowadays they're a r
eal milestone.
hey, even dieznyik finally released some ansis - so let's lean ba
ck and
face the new millenium :)

_black maiden?

on to black maiden. this pack shows no real improving compared to
the last
ones, either, but we definately changed our course to the bright
side :)

after over one year of bm-absence kyp of ex-ice, ex-me
an scheme, ex-society
and ex-fire re-joined. he just lost all his aims in life without
bm (j/k)
i heard something of a 400lines ansi-joint for the next pack, tog
ether
with the second new member called shine. he's one of the few upri
sing
german artists at the moment, and he'll improve even more in the
near
future - promised :)

another german joined up, poldi from the sac-crew will
sharpen his skills
in our group now :)

and last but not least seltorn from russia (white-russ
ia? please tell me
if i'm wrong, pal :) , an amiga-graphician and coder has been add
ed
to our ranks. he will draw asciis, really cool vga's and code swe
et little
intros for bm.

so, welcome guys! :)

on the departure part:

jerusalem decided to leave us and re-unite the cool germ
an group boil together
with fastjack.
good luck and success und so weiter to you, pal! :)

we got the impression that dfuse did not feel comforta
ble in our company,
and since he hasn't contributed even once, we decided to remove h
im from
our member listing.

_guests?

atom of dark contributed a cool vga, in spite of hard pr
oblems (his mother :)

_webpage?

we have a new design of the bm-webpage. poti worked ha
rd and completed
an eisig-blau-design-set. please have a look, the page contains m
any
interesting things :)

_parties?

black maiden members participated sucessfully at mekka/sympos
ium'98:

shine ranked 1st and
pandur ranked 3rd i
n the ansi competition!
congrats, guys :)

the date of evoke'98 changed to septe
mber 11-13th, further information is
available on http://kaoz.org/evoke/98.

_irc channels?

actually, osel and toot made two bm-channels possible. their bots
aph3x and
kords keep the channels #bmaiden on american efnet
and ircnet safe :)

_beam?

in the next days the emag beam produced by kyp and shi
ne will be released.
keep an eye on it.

_forgotten?

i guess, that's all. :)
