ÛÛ vilaz and keen donated this sweet teddy bear, and noize gave us threeÛÛ amazing vga graphics.. i like especially the 'wiedereintritt' one :)ÛÛ i cant say enough thanks to you guys!²°° ²²²²²ÜܱÛÛ alot of more and less important things happened since the last pack: ßßÛ °Û° let's start by naming our new members:Ü Û± welcome mool, dipswitch, sarlacc and faxe!² Û² ² ÜÛ all four of them got invited to bm at pandur's birthday party with a Û ÛÛ bottle of champagne (or something like that, unfortunately i couldntÛÜß attend pandurs party since i had to work).²²²²Ü ÜßÜ ßßÛÜÛÜÛ we decided to invite those four nice guys mainly, because they are ßÛÛ² long time friends (faxe was a friend of poti even before both of them²²±± got into the scene and i met him about 5 years ago too :) ±±°² faxe also co-sysopped the wellknown artboard kaoz in the past, and °° Û was responsible for the technical aspects of evoke. ÛÛ Û mool is a good friend of dipswitch and he has been member of the bm party ± ² posse before so it was a little step to invite him officially :)ܲ۱ many of you surely know dipswitch of dream theatre, bad karma and a lot ÜÛÛß of other amiga groups :) he is drawing ascii and tracking music for us Ûß ßß now.. he has been a good friend to the crew the last two years and is ÛÜÜ the perfect addition to the team.ßÜ ÞÛÛ sarlacc finally is a good friend of pandur and he joined black maidenß ßÛ to help us out with coding when we are in need. WELCOME all of you!°ÜÛ ²ßÛ uh, what else.. ah right: spear changed his handle to firehead :) ²Ü ß²Û faxe dip pandur me and sometimes mool have been going to several dancehall±Û reggae bashments in the last time and now black maiden has even it's own °Û reggae soundsystem called black maiden hifi which is run by selector faxe :) ° ÜÛÛÛÛÜ ÜÛ ± evoke 2000 was a great success again and besides some minor problems like ÛÛ ² annoying drunken little fucking stupid kids it was a lot of fun too :)ß Û the ansi competition was ruled by black maiden as usual, zippy and me ßßÜÜ ßÛ made the first place with us-hero.ans, pandur got second with pn-ev2k.ans ÛÜ and shine placed fourth with shn-tiny.ans (we dont have a clue why he ÜÛÛÜ Û didnt rank 3rd place). lord chaos won the ascii compo sponsored byÜ ßß ²  dipswitch's the ascii charts and i ranked 2nd. zippy entered with± h0us meister and got 7th i think. get his tune at www.alienpub.com ° poti together with guilty of design and netpoet/park made a demo forÜÛÛÜ takeover 2000 and they ranked 4rd! get "phospor" at ßÛÛß ftp://ftp.scene.org/pub/parties/2000/takeover00/phosphor.zip ÛÛ ÛÛ if you want to meet several chaotic black maiden members visit ÛÛ mekka&symposium2k+1, poti, faxe, zippy, dipswitch, pandur, potzkoten,ÛÛ me and probably even more will be there. expect some surprises and take ßÛÛ some beer with you!ÜÛÜÜÛÛÜ sometime in the next weeks www.blackmaiden.de will be relaunched, so ÜÜÛ ÛÛÛÛ better check out the result of poti working hours and hours on it!ßÛÛÛßÛßß ²²²²²²²ÜÜ the sad news at last: don't expect another book, this time it took moreÛÛ ° than a year to get at least a little artwork and without the help of our ÛÛ ² friends this pack would have looked quite bad. ÛÛ Û but black maiden will live on, there might come ansi releases too but not ²² Û in the book format anymore. thanks for all your support and ÜÜÜÜ ÜÛÛÛ± Û ßßÜÜÛ° Û  WE HAVE SURVIVED YOU ALL! ßÛ ° ßÛÛÞ ± i remember a lot of people saying 4life but NO ONE exceptß² ² black maiden (and glue :) has made it.
