 issue one 

 

ÄÄ< welcome >ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 
welcome to issue number one of empire... 
i bet you're all wondering by now..what the heck is this..i mean.. 
you download a file...and unzip it, and it's one file...this ansi.. 
   
well, lemme explain..eod's not another mag..it's not a newsletter...the closest 
thing I can compare it to is CyberData (from Cybernary.union)..infact, this  
is more like Cyberdata on crack...:) 
so just sit back and enjoy (or not) as i rant and rave until i get sick of  
writing. 
  
ÄÄ<article: eod, acme, and rusty>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ  
 right now, i'll intorduce myself before we go any further..i'm Rusty  
of acme...I'll lay all the cards on the table..I'm fifteen, live in a small 
town in pennsylvania, run a small group, and haven't spent even an hour on  
the irc - that by which we all swear..and lastly, i'm certainly no expert on 
the scene.. 
 so why am i writing this?  well...good question..i've always liked 
writing and one newsletter for acme a month (pack) isn't enough...so  
i came up with this idea (quite a revolutionary guy, huh?  :)... 
  
 acme, to clarify is just another one of the hundreds of groups in the 
scene today...we accept distros we have some good drawers we have a whq..there  
ya go.. 

ÄÄ<transition>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 
okie..now the mag..err..newsletter...er...issue...:) 

Ä<da scene>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 
no one reading this needs a defention of the scene...but maybe a  
clarification...the scene as we call it..the collective of nets, boards, groups,drawers, and the inet..what's it take to get into the scene?  not much.. 
any dork who's got a friend that calls ld and finds an 800 num can get into it..(that's not how i got in, though..i swear  :) 
we all participate in this thing...passing files..reading messages..so 
getting now to my point..why do all this when we could all have lives? 
maybe we're all just techophiles...or pimply faced dorks...or egotistical  
modemers ion the mood for some instant gratification... 
either way..we are in the scene..most of us deeply rooted...waking up early to 
call in and get onto that board or soemthing..so why is it..that we have to 
flame each other?  that's the point of this jabbering... 
any 800 num i call or irc room (ansi related, that is) or whatever has some 
sort of war going on...and it's bringing the scene down... 
we all claim to be artists or aspire to be artists...but why thrash someone 
else?  yeah..when someone requests an ansi more than a few times..or bugs you  
for sites or numbers or vmbs or cc's etc.then lay into him...but the point of  
this is basically...don't lay into anyone cause of their work.. 
and you know what?  I'm sure I'll get lay'd into for this...for preaching.. 
for being some 'lamer' who wants to 'jump' into the scene... 
thinking I'm all that and your mom just cause i got a group and a board.. 
well..i've heard it all before (greenday sucks) and I'd just like to let all 
the big losers out there know i really want them to screw off and shut up.. 

note to sysops...nuke your losers... :)

the point of all that?  well first..to get a few smiles...heh.. 
but second..my real point.. 
whitch is more lame?  I mean it, really.. I'd probably rather login to the wwiv system than to put up with dorks like those '3lit3' ones.. 
they come into the nuv saying how fast they can get you windoze 95 and how they 
are the most elite of them all..blah blah blah.. 
this is the other kinda person who's bringing the scene down (as opposed to  
the people who constantly flame others..) 

anyhow..it's up to you..but i think that with enough feedback we can rid  
ourselves of these losers.. 

heh.. 
and what i really hate are the ones who come on a Renegade bbs and use like: 
%PW in their posts..then say..'I hacked into this system and figured that your  
password is 'ELITE' or whatever..' 
^^talk about lame... 

enough about what's wrong with the scene...now rusty's group reviews.. 
ÄÄ<reviews!>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 
groups: (scale of * to ***** where five stars is the best...one star sucks) 

 
acid - **** well..acid was/will always be the gods of the scene.. 
but as of late they seem to have fallen off a beat with 
their huge packs...although they are toning it down.. 
good work..as always.. 
  
acme - **« as compared to otehr groups we only deserve 2 stars, BUT 
we've only got on pack put and we're inproving daily.. 
wait till you see the second pack! 

aim  - *** the pack i saw AIM003.ZIP was pretty decent..a lot of  
pipeline logos, though...;) 

armageddon - *** although they merged with The Guild to form MORBiD, 
i still felt like reviewing their first and lst pack..and it waspretty good...sinister x roicks...and so does the rest of the 
group...good work, KI..nice group.. 

asia -  ** i looked at the first asia pack (new one, right?) and anyhow 
some of the ascii's flat out sucked...i won't mince words. 
aside from being all ascii (blech) it was decent for a 1st pack. 
bedlam - **« a small group here...but some decent stuff..the highlights 
        were obsidian and warhammer's work...other than that..too much 
lit..could've been better..but not too bad.. 

blade - *** well..aren't they dead yet?  :)  anyhow..blade has always 
been doing good work and probably always will...not to mention 
that their member boards are really cool looking.. 

bleach - *** with lD! as a standing member and a second pak out ?!?! 
bleach is here to stay and has some really good artists in it.. 
i hope to see more from this cool, young group..good one lD! 

broken - *** too much lit and ascii (lit sux..ascii should be limited)..but the ansi and vga in their packs was good..but their dead  
now...right? 

case - * why release a pack (the 0595 (may)) with only 3 members, one 
ansi, and 2 .mods?  seriously..how can this help your group? 

cia - **** this group is always on the rise..and in may, when most packssucked, the cia pack shined through as one of the only ones thatdidn't toally bite.. 

eden - **« too much lit in this group..and the ansi could be better... 
but they'll probably improve.. 

emerge - *** born from the dead of broken, this group had too much lit 
and ascii (just like borken :)...maybe they should colly those 
ascii's up and just delete those rejected lits..but again.. 
the ansi that _was_ in there was cool.. 

firm -  ***** okay..so they aren't an art group..i know..but no-one  
make better RG mod packs..and nobody probably ever will. 
so kep it coming..and expand that obvý support!! :) 

ice -  **** they're there..they've always been neck and neck with 
'the great acid' :)..and they still are...:) 
but thanx for sepereating the vga in your pack(s).. 

illness - ***** illness is defenitely the best modding group for the 
best bbs software you can run..obv/2 (nope, I'm not biased :) 
again, not an art group..but they rule their scene..and they 
have some good art in their mods and in their packs.. 
and with lD! in your group, how can you go wrong?  ;) 

immortal couriers - *** well..don't say that this 'thing' i'm writing 
offers nothing for you warez guys, cause here's my review of 
the immortal couriers pack..well, they're a courier group.. 
with a pack..and about 5 cool ansis...wow..!  well, it was 
different...and pretty cool.. 

 integrity - ***** in my opinion, these guys are the best group in the 
art scene today..Darkforce simply rules as do all of the artistsin this group...i fully expect them to run away as the best  
ever and continue to get better and better and better.. 
so now that I plugged them, you ask, what are they paying me? 
nothing but the best packs I can download.. 
and the reason they are so good is cause they are out on time 
every month and have the best art around, and never take 
more than 2 minutes to d/l..not to mention they're not stuck up.a real class act here.. 

nation - **** i guess I'm really giving Maestro a four stars here..:) 
being that this is sorta solo thing for him...but hey..it rocks!good work, man...the fonts are as unreadably cool as ever..:) 

rain -  *** i'm looking at the second rain pack..but i dunno how old it 
is or anything...i'm pretty sure pale's not in rain anymore, 
though...:) 

rise - **« i know that apothecary moved on..but i never liked this 
group...and thought that a lot of what was in the packs wasn't 
release worthy...or at least nothing that would have qualified 
to meet acme release standards.. 

shiver -  **** well..they got the UG best small group award over cia.. 
there's an accomplishment !  not to mention some darn good 
artists are in this group...good thing they cut down from their 
near 100 member size...:)  good stuff here! 
one thing, though..get a new file_id.diz for once! :) 

sop - **« i think they merged with DoS...but the fonts that corruption 
did while still in SoP were cool.. 

spastic - **** this group was number one in most people's eyes..they 
were awesome..but then a bad may packet was released and eerie 
quit and so it's been ... there for a while..but hey.they're  
still a really good group and I'm sure they'll pursue the lead 
once again..again, a group to check out..( you gotta be in a  
 cave if you've never seen a spas pack anyhow...:) 

turbo - -« these guys freaking bite it really hard...their whole pack 
consisted of ripped off ansis or the draw fonts.. 
when i saw their pack i wanted to kill the prez of their group 
w.o.a(words of advice): blacklist any turbo members...they suck. 
union - **** union is..a very underestimated..group if you ask me...but 
they are really good!  really, really good!  Nailz just rocks.. 
look for them to make a move! 

wicked - ***« well, normally i down on ascii..but wicked just rocks! 
for some reason their ascii is different from all the rest.. 
better...and they are definitely on top of their scene.. 

 

ÄÄ<wow>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ<i wrote all that?>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 
anyhow...i hope i didn't make anyoe mad with my reviews..but i guess  
on the same token, i really don't care too much..it's my opinion, and my ratio 
that i'm wasting to download the packets...so i'll say what i want...:) 

take that!

ÄÄ<well, i think I fulfilled the art portion of this thing>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ  
 there's the art section for this..next time i'll feature two worx 
just like this time, cept they'll be by people other than me...:) 

ÄÄ<by now...>ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 
by now you are probably wondering why i didn't code anything for this 
thing..you know..how come i don't have a cool interface like Undergrown or  
B-slap.. 
well, simple answer is that i can't program at all and don't feel like asking 
anyone for this..and i like this format..and it's fun just cause I can write  
whatever comes to my head this way... 
also, i know you all own acidview or a viewer other than TYPE... 

and hey...you know....with a format as simple as .ANS, it brings some  
originality ot this emag (there you go..i finally called this an emag) :)

I'm sure i'm not the only person who sits in front of his computer on bbs's  
while listening to music.. 

so i'll just blather about a that for a sec..cause it affects me and how a draw and how i bbs.. 

i like to listen to a lot of stuff..but 
R.E.M. will always take the cake as my favorite group of all time.. 
after that is Bush...i think they rock.. 
i like Hootie and the Blowfish (call me what you want, i like them) 
and i like Dave Matthews Band and Matthew Sweet..

wow..i don't want any distro's for this emag...i do plan to release it every  
month...and i will commit to that right now. 
BUT please don't ask for a site..only member boards will be handed out..and  
since this will always be my solo project, no member boards.. 
so it'll stick to point omega as the world headquarters.. 
i'll upload this thing everywhere anyhow....so who cares.. 

but now onto boards..
