Soothsayer:     Cæsar!
Cæsar:Ha!  Who calls?
Casca:Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!
Cæsar:Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry `Cæsar!' Spear; Cæsar is turn'd to hear.
Soothsayer:     Beware the ides of March.
Cæsar:What man is that?
Brutus:A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
Cæsar: Set him before me; let me see his face.
Casca:Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Cæsar.
Cæsar:What say'st thou to me now?  speak once again.
Soothsayer:     Beware the ides of March.
Cæsar:He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.

*** thext changes topic to 'And on the 7th day, Mistigris created God...'
<Sarcasm_> Mistigris created god, and then like, let him think he was in control so he felt special.

Greetings and welcome to another exciting installation of the Mistigris
infofile, now with 85% less content and just as filling!  This is Cthulu here,
president of Mistigris, and I'm not going to shit you.  A hell of a lot happenedthis month, and not all of it was good.  Things have been shaking down, there
has been member movement, policy change, and general instability.  However, I
think that the gory details can be saved for some distant future issue of Kithe,while as an audience you only have to worry about the new format of the pack.
So I will keep you from information that your own eyes and ears may be your solesources of information and we will discover whether the art stands on its own asa beacon shining out past the cesspool of politics we find ourselves drug into.

All that you have to worry about is that this is going to be the last
time you see some artists in mist packs, and the first time you'll see others.

Cæsar:  Et tu, Brute!  Then fall,  Cæsar.
Cinna:  Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!
Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets.
Casca:  Some to the common pulpits, and cry out
`Liberty, freedom and enfranchisement!'
Brutus: People and senators, be not afrighted;
Fly not; stand still: ambition's debt is paid.

A few policy changes are worthy of note here specifically as they may
affect and influence how you view our art or even which art you view;  after
much public clamour, Mistigris has made the decision internally to release its
packs in multiple archives - one for the music, one for the high-resolution and
one for low-resolution art formats (Ansi, ascii, writing, and RIPScrip.)  This
way, the audience only has to download what they want while individual
departments don't have to worry about imposing on the others with size
constraints, etc.  So if you've only grabbed one archive, please don't hesitate
in checking out the other two:

M-9803-A.ZIP for low resolution artworks
M-9803-B.ZIP for high resolution artworks
M-9803-C.ZIP for musical creations

M for Mistigris, then the year, month in accordance with alphabetical
order, then identification of part a, b or c.

In addition to this bureaucratic clean-up, the low resolution disk has
been also zipped with recursed directories, so if you unzip it -d, the files
will extract to their respective subdirectories (/ANSI, /ASCII, etc...) If the
archive is unzipped without the switch, it will expand normally.

Now that we've cleared up the fact that we didn't just give the boot to
two thirds of the group, the onus is on us to create and you to go out there andlook at the bloody stuff.  So, well, enjoy!

Cthulu
Mistigris founder

Anthony:Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Cæsar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is often interred with their bones;
So let it be with Cæsar.  The noble Brutus
Hath told you Cæsar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Cæsar answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest-
For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourabe men -
Come I to speak in Caesar's funera.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Cæsar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Cæsar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sternerr stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment!  thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their erason.  Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Cæsar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
