February 1995
The ACiD Editorial by Eerie
This scene thing is getting so trendy it frightens me. Y
ou know, it all
began a few months ago, when everyone decided all of a sudden
to join 300
kazillions of groups at the same time. Is that such a problem
? My opinion
is, if the seniors can really handle that one of their artist
is also in
all those other groups, then why would I care? Anyway, thats
pretty much
what Ive done in the past few months mostly just for the fun of
it, though,
but Ill explain that later.
Okay, new year and stuff, everyones happy, new packs ga
lore, there
was some really cool shit this month, but there were two pure J
OKES. First,
of course, WiND. Now, no one really needs to explain what
happened with that
group its just funny and doesnt hurt anyone anyway. For
those who
wonder what the fuss is about, read Undergrown 6, you can do
wnload it on
all the decent art boards. Now, lets examine the second joke
of this new
year: Paramount.
Okay, here are the facts. Some guy named Shivan forme
rly known as Sonoma
iCE, decides to start his own group everyone else doe
s, why not
him?! called Paramount. Now theres a big problem: he doesn
t find any
members. So what, hell just ask his old iCE friends Shag
gy, Lord Soth,
Amroth and all to join as a side-project.
Now lets examine the memberlist, more specifically the ANSI Ar
tists List.
If Im not too fucked, there are exactly 8 dual-groupers and
only THREE
artists who are in no other group as far as I know. Now,
maybe its
more like 7/4 or 9/2, Im not 100 sure, but you can easily get the
idea.
People will just rag on me now, saying Okay, Eerie, y
ou had art
released in FIVE different packs this month, isnt that as la
me? Id say
no. I actually did some stuff for every group I was in, unlike th
e Paramount
side-project dudes. Unzip PMT-0195.ZIP again. Look carefully.
Who did the
REAL board advertisements? Answer: Devine Styler and
Phase-2, who are NOT
in other groups. Now who did the Paramount promos, logos, and
stuff? The
other dudes.. actually, Shaggy has drawn a kinda sorry boa
rd ad too,
probably the kind of pic he wouldnt even have released in an iCE p
ack.
Actually, I rag on Paramount mostly, but that attitude
is widely
spread. How many times do you hear Who wants to join my new
group called
BoZo? Uh, Im already in that group called GiZMuT. Man, j
ust stay in
GiZMuT and join us as well! And then the guy is so proud to a
dd that new
k-rad affiliation and to sign his ansis BoZo/GiZMuT.
Oh well.

man has no motivation in life without it.
Accordingly, man has lived by the saying To
the victor go the spoils. And, indeed, the
spoils are the result of hard work, deter-
mination, and complete dedication. Modern
institutions, such as ACiD Productions con-
tinue to reinforce these ideas.
ACiD Productions is an ever-evolving
entity, spreading world-wide, a continually
growing giant in the world of multimedia
computer graphics. Literally hundreds of

With each new parting come two new joinings, and
the giant grows. ACiD today is more than
that of
yesterday. Without a doubt, no organizat

successful without the full participation of all
its
members. Thus,

some members get lost

result, end up straying from ACiD. The most recent
cases of this are as follows. First there is Alter Ego

ACiDs heirarchy is continually changing in
order to ensure the groups success. This month, The
