1981

Ahhh yeah, here we are again bringing you the epitome    :
:    of ascii fucking talent. Not too many changes this         |
.    month, a bit of news regarding The Upright Man ..          :
He has decided to leave, for reasons best known by         .
him, and perhaps best left to be explained by him.
Have a look at TUM-CNFS.ASC in the pack.

Two new members with some great fucking talent, and I
know that they'll only get better and better. This
month, Essence and Hex Corrupt join up with the ranks
of the ascii Gods.

No new members this time around, but a couple of
things worth mentioning; we have two guests via a few
ascii joints.. OHSeven and Iron Ghost. Check them out
in the US-*.* files. We've got a huge fucking joint
pic effort by some of the Remorse homies of the past
and present, and a couple of kickin' fucking collies.

Lemme lay out the badasses for you this month:

Founder: Necromancer

Senior Staff: Necronite, Pariah

Artists: Arrogance/aCk, aXB, Bad Spirit, Blackdawn,
Black Jack, Cannabis, Computerman, Dead Soul,
Discofunk, Erupt, Essence, Hex Corrupt, Merlin, The
Messiah, Nine Lives, Omicron, Phreak Klass, Revolution,
Seismic, Serial Toon, SpeedFreak, Spinsane, Truman Starr,
WindRider

Alumni: Enigmatic, Fahrenheit, Hiro Protagonist,
Kaleidas, Megga Hertz/Bugsy, Mr. Kite, Terminator 2,
The Upright Man, Whodini

Mucho farewells and best wishes go off to The Upright
Man .. you will be missed.

Shout outs to everyone that knows the power of the
Remorse clan, a big fatty greet to all of the '81
and the Wu-Trank, ACiD and the original iCE homies.

Personal high-fives to Maestro and Lord Jazz for their
ansi-scene effort with their top secret operation..
much luck, bros. An ascii or two from some oldschool
Remorse niggas like you two would be nice for
Valentine's Day. *grin*

Necromancer, over and out.

Time for TUM to step in..

Just to set this straight: Apparently there has been
some confusion lately as to which group is truly the
"best" in the  scene. Let us clear this up. Remorse
always has and always will dominate both the newschool
and oldschool forums. The mature ascii quality of each
member of Remorse, the domination that the group holds
over #ascii, and ultimately, the fact that we are the
oldest and strongest ascii group around confirm this.
When people think "ascii" the first and most established
group that comes to mind is always Remorse. What other
group can boast having new school titans like Mr. Self
Destruct, Axel Barebones, Killa Hertz, Mr. Kite, Pariah,
Atom Bomb (wink wink), Kaleidas and myself in its ranks?
OK, OK, maybe *I* don't really belong on that list,
but we all get the picture. :) And not only do we hold
newschool in our hands, but we have Whodini, Hiro
Protagonist, Megga Hertz, Fahrenheit, and the founder of
Remorse, Necromancer in the flesh. The list goes on and
on. We have been the best, we are the best, we will always
be the best. We don't need to disguise inferior work with
higher ascii characters or produce mass volumes of lower
quality logos. If it's in a Remorse pack, there's a certain
minimum level of quality and skill associated with it.

Remorse doesn't follow trends, we set them. All major
advances up to the present in the scene have come from
the sincere and solid efforts of our members. It's
delusional to pretend otherwise.

"Remorse ego" you may claim. "Badass 81 attitude!" you may
cry. Yes. I completely agree with you. We have ego and we
have a badass attitude but only because we deserve it. When
your rich uncle buys a nice Rolls Royce for you, of course
you remind your next door neighbor that his Chevy can kiss
your rich ass. Likewise, don't expect Remorse members to
actually care about you.

TUM is done, and now for Kaleidas ...

You may be thinking "These guys need a reality check"..
All I have to say in response, is that it's all what you
make of it -- the state of ascii being in the shitter and
all. If two out of every three of you kids out there behave
as if you were 14, it's  pretty  much gonna put a damper
on the old spirit of  competition,  and  overall fun and
understanding of an underground computer art scene. All
respect to Remorse and the 81 clique for staying above the
retarded, ignorant gaying off in the scene as the month's
have gone by.

In closing, all I really have to say is stick to your video
games and Magic the Gathering unless you're gonna pay the
respect this network of art deserves.

-kaleidas, r81

Kaleidas hath spoke his piece .. here comes Mr. Kite.

i'm not here to say how awesome remorse is.  you know that
already. i'm here to complain about the contamination of
an art genre. i can't tell you how many times i have to tell
people what is and what isn't ascii.. ansi is by definition
anything containing an ansi code, which includes all the
color codes. therefore if you use color, it's ansi.. no
argument. another thing you should know is that ascii is
not an artform, it's a character standard.  the character
standard only specifies 7 bit characters, and anything
below character #32 is unprintable.. this means if you use
any extended ascii (which is an ibm standard, not a
universal standard) or use any thing below character #32
(including your damn happy-faces) then you won't be holding
true to the ascii standard, or the original purpose of the
artform.  why limit yourself to people running
microsoft-based x86 machines?  while i can't deny the fact
that it's art you are trying to draw, i can deny that it's
ascii. true, most artists today use color and/or highascii,
including those here in remorse, and i have no problem with
that, just don't dare call it ascii.

nn speaks.  you listen.

i don't have too much to say... so i'll get right to
the point...

send oldschool apps to me...  mailto:necros@qpt.com
and like, uh, kiss my butt, too.  yeah.
