Which they were. D_GATE.MOD represents their very last Digitallusions .MOD; all subsequent releases were in different formats and under a new identity  --- Bast - Better known as one of Mist's most iconic poets, Bast also demonstrated her illustrative talents in this artpack, contributing a page to the "Shakespeare's Pen" comic and a splendid sketch of Cthulu in a power suit. In the last 15 years her contributions to the arts have diminished as she has excelled in the fields of tae kwon do and philosophy of mathematics -- otherwise put, she is now Professor Ninja. --- Brad Morris - The illustrator of most covers of the Kitsilano Ideograph, the high school newspaper under Cthulu's editorial helm, this skilled visual artist was also brought into the Dream Factory fold, and this artpack includes promotional artwork for his Rainclouds story found in the first (and only) issue of that comic book anthology.  --- Corinthian - Famously of Dark Illustrated, this talented monochromatic textmode artist's complicated association with Mistigris culminated in his participation in the highly peculiar round of Eat Poop You Cat enshrined herein. --- Crowkeeper - Even in a distant and bygone age, Crowkeeper was a man of a distant and bygone age. Master of the minimalist Elizabethan turn of phrase, still in this early period you could see his reorientation in a William Adams direction. In this artpack we feature several of his poems, and he as well was duped into participating in the Shakespeare's Pen comic -- more justifiably than most! @crowkeep --- Crystal Lattice - Cohort of his FuzzNet pal Sylphid, this individual's sole contribution to the Mistigris canon is a minor bit in the round of EPYC contained in this artpack -- but to elevate ourselves through association with successful and influential people, we needed to give him a write-up all his own here.  @blaine --- Cthulu - Jack of all trades, master of none; this all happened because I really wanted it to, and kept wanting until that intention was manifested. (Note: contents may take 16 years to fully manifest, after your wants have changed and matured somewhat.) reluctance.livejournal.com / pixelpompeii.blogspot.com / @unwashedmass --- Dead Soul - A man of many talents, Dead Soul was one of the very few Mistigris members to remain active in the artscene following our descent into torpor, last seen ascending through the ranks of upper-echelon groups before, presumably, breaking free to greatness. Now MIA. --- Delire Afar - Most distinguished as a writer excelling beneath the most burdensome of minimalist constraints, as demonstrated in this seemingly throwaway round of Eat Poop You Cat she has a creative mind that never stops working. @maureen --- Dracomage - First located in #poetry in the EFNet of all places, DM made his mark on Mist making works of high-resolution visual artwork and tracked techno music. This artpack contains one final specimen of the latter. web.archive.org/web/20050219073601/http://home1.gte.net/pyriot/ --- Eoanya - Occasionally crossing paths with Mistigris as a writer of poems and articles for the Kithe e-mag, since the end of the 20th century she has graduated to the full status of Published Author. joannakaraplis.com / @jokaraplis --- Etana - Writer, artist, and animator, Etana has remained wholly immersed in the arts on a daily basis since the dusk of the artscene, hammering out her own scene with keyframeonline.com tiltedwindmills.com  / @athenacooper --- Ewerx - Ewerx got in, made a big splash, then went MIA (to be fair, from their perspective we were probably the ones who went MIA) and was never heard from again. From the looks of things, they have probably escaped the wheel of suffering entirely through the seventh chakra. --- Flyingfish - Her Casa Del Sol song lyrics long featured in Mistigris packs, finally you have a chance to hear what the songs were supposed to sound like.  @hexalyn --- Gary R. Hudson - Illustrator of Virgins NOT Required in Dream Factory #1, this has been our only point of interaction with him and if we wanted to say anything else about him, it would be pure confabulation -- which can be fun, but which we don't have time for at the moment. --- Geekboy - An artscene late bloomer, he bided his time and developed his skills from the Krap days all the way to the final days of Mist; denying him his chance to finally flower on the main stage in full command of his creative abilities was always one of our chiefest regrets with Mist's abrupt cessation of operations. --- Happyfish - Possessed of a playful and impish mind, of all Mist's alumni Happyfish can most be described as marching to the beat of her own drum -- or in her case, her own banjola. You can get an earful of her filk at any of a number of cons.  brookeabbey.com / @hsifyppah --- Haquisaq - Fed up with working around the limitations and relying on the lazy crutches of sample use, Haquisaq ascended to a being of pure chiptune sequencing, and as "Bryface" is an international star in that scene.  bryface.bandcamp.com / soundcloud.com/bryface / @bryfacetron --- Heretic - In addition to being the prime mover at oOze e-mag, Heretic was also the architect of the demoscene code by which scene members could boil down all of their salient personal details into a brief hash: 200ok.com.au/heretic/vault/scene105.htm --- Heyoka - Pinhole camera photographer and weightlifting champion, like Bast Heyoka is a testament to a healthy mix of interests and hobbies.  heyoka.com --- The Hitman - Many thanks to The Hitman of PMA for his guest music submission to this collection. (Random one-off IRC connections from the last century: not much context to report.) --- Ice Cream Emperor - If I stopped being such a dilettante and got serious about making art, I might look more like my old friend Ice Cream Emperor. His output has been sparse, but every piece of it is of unrivalled intensity. icecreamemperor.livejournal.com --- King Arthur - The whole of Mistigris' legacy from our merger with Fire in March 1995, KA (or |< /| as he styled himself) continued sending us tracked music, on and off, beyond the point at which Mistigris (and even the revived Fire) had both closed up shop. (Some of it he even composed himself!) --- Kyo - Hawaii's legendary loose cannon sporadically graced us with bonus artwork -- nothing that could be planned around, but more like icing on a cake -- or sprinkles if it turned out the cake had already been iced. Here was his final gift to us. --- Lady Blue - A rare breed in the artscene, seemingly a immigrant from an earlier online community (perhaps Compuserve?), LB joined us from RCA with a handy talent in two underappreciated mediums -- RIPscrip and poetry. A rock in turbulent times, we bucked the trend by jilting her when we reached the end of the road. Despite her obvious talents, she doesn't appear to have continued releasing work after being denied the outlet of Mistigris, and the trail runs cold leaving her missing in action. --- The Laughing Fool - One third of the team behind the famously unreleased (e-)mag Concrete, he had no time for the artscene per se, but would happily follow the path of art as long as it promised to deliver him into good times. Not only is he the only person I've ever met who managed to rip out the palms of his hands at a poetry reading, but in the subsequent ambulance ride he somehow determined that his paramedic was also a Linux sysadmin. --- Lllucid - All of this man's art school projects involved the design and construction of monster bikes (as befits a man whose married surname became, legally, "Bicycle"), while all of his recreational art featured alligators and hot dogs. Somehow, his iconic contribution to the Shakespeare's Pen comic managed to dodge all of these bullets, and that goes double for his friend Brian, the engineer of the Soapfrog mythos. --- Maeve Wolf - Dropping art on Mistigris when our orbits came into conjunction, the vanguard of our antipodean contingent has pulled off an extraordinary second act, and has continued making art ever since these salad days went in the compost. dashsharon.tumblr.com --- mega! - A hearty thanks must be extended to the artist known only as mega!, whose ASCII logo (despite being found not suitable for use when initially submitted) has ended up being employed as a FILE_ID.DIZ no less than three times in the past calendar year. Nothing further is known or remembered of them; their impact on Mist's past was negligible, but apparently their absentee impact on Mist's present remains substantial! --- Melodia - Melodia doesn't need an artgroup, she is an artgroup. One more case of the parade continuing after the band stopped playing, courtesy of the bottomless music in her head she kept on keeping on -- and indeed, has never stopped. We are humbled by her continuing association with us, as to her, all we have to offer is drag factor!  soundcloud.com/empressplay / @empressplay --- Obsidian Zero - If the entire memberlist was trimmed to include only the previous entry and this one, the artpack that you have before you would mostly look exactly the same -- Melodia and this artist formerly known as Onyx were machines! And not just metaphorical ones -- Ozero's total conversion is well underway! Compelled to focus on a single discipline rather than being hugely prolific in three, these days he fills Amazon with his ebooks. ozero.ca / @ozero1 --- Opium - Say what you will, her Beef Snakes comic strip is if nothing else uncompromising in its artistic vision. --- Otnoo Ishphoo - TABNet's last bastard standing, this individual's delightfully polymorphically perverse brain expressed its endless creativity in endless forms. As the 20th century drew to a close and the 21st ripens, the sense he focuses on appealing to seems to have settled on the ears. --- Pannekoekologist - A silent partner underwriting many foolish and eminently worthwhile ventures with goading and occasional direct support. --- Quip - Many diamonds in the rough cut their faces in Mistigris before dazzling the masses, but for advancement in all metrics through everything he tried his hand at, none wanted it as badly as Quip, who in a disciplined fashion forged himself into a self-made man of the scene, then found he didn't need it to continue being who he wanted to be. --- Retribution - Retribution has released ANSI art all over, nearly continuously since the '90s heyday of the ANSI art scene, but Mistigris is the only artgroup in which he has ever released his poetry. --- Sentience - On hiatus from making music, he was equally apt at expressing himself in virtually every other medium, to this day captivating audiences at the Vancouver Story Slam. Here he has reworked a Mistigris ANSI art promotional piece originally by Etana, rendering it into a considerably higher resolution. --- Silent Knight - Chief architect of the Dream Factory comic book anthology, SK could once in a while be tricked into playing Eat Poop You Cat. --- Skrubly - A deft hand at bespoke works of short fiction, Skrubly was a highly improbable Blender champion, winning with his quick thinking a higher readership than likely any other writer in the artscene for his substantial pieces. We missed him during the Blender revival of April 2015, where another followed the trail Skrubly blazed and took home first prize with a story. sonic.net/~derf/ --- Spirit Wolf - Occasionally appearing in classic Mistigris artpacks, the author of Virgins NOT Required appears for once in a fully authorized and approved fashion. --- Sylphid - Onetime SysOp of The Fuzzy Doorknob, this man made computer music and programmed for us an incredible engine for making e-mags, MAGnum, of which no trace remains. He also is represented here through nominal participation in one fateful round of Eat Poop You Cat. --- Talonswift - Arguably the most virtuoso of all classic Mistigris members to never release artwork in a classic Mistigris artpack, he went on to be a founding member of the Life Drawing Cartel and enjoyed a turbulent political career. @hunsdale --- Voi the Analogue Cat - Former SysOp of the Amiga BBS Transient Lunacy, Adri here contributes a standout recording off of her 2009 album Morning Glow. adrianelake.com / @adrianelake --- Weird - Having cultivated an unmistakable and unique style in her early years, this all went out the window in the service of a long career through the 604's game development houses modeling and texturing environments. Her appearance here thus represents the very last of her juvenilia. ...  distribution sites     pc.textmod.es/crew/mistigris/ has been good to us    sixteencolors.net got the ball rolling    artpacks.org has a nifty app, so that's something We've been told that our work ought to be mirrored over at pouet and scene.org aand the other demoscene archives; we're inclined to agree -- it SHOULD be -- but the path forward to doing so is never clear. -quipÜÜÜmistigris - 20 years ÜÜ °±ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜÛÛÛ²ÜÜof funk ÜÛÛÛßßßßßßßßßÛÛÛÛÛ ÜÜÜÜ ßßßßß ±ÜÜÜÜ ß ÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜÜ ßÛ ÛÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜÜÛÛÛ ²ÛÛÜ° °ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜ°ÜÜÜÛÛÛÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßÛÛ² ±ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ²ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜÜÜ ÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßß °²ÛÛÛÛ ²ÛÛÛÛßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÝßßßßÛÛÛÛÛ°ÛÛÛÛ Ü ÞÛÛÛÛ° °ÛÛÛÛÛ ÜÜÜÜÜ ßßßßßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÛÛÛÛÛ²ÛÛÛÛ ß ÛÛÛÛ² Ü ÜÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ ßßß Ü ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜÛÛÛÛß± °±ÛÛß ±±ÛÛßßÛÛÛÛÛÛÜÜ ÜÜÜÜ ßßßßßßßßß °° ßßßßßßßß SAUCE00MIST2000 Memberlist Cthulu, Quip Mistigris 20150924oIP| IBM VGA
