rS!
did you reached your acme
today?
-the vines of acme, july 1995
hi...id like to welcome you all to the second acme pack..
a lot of the locals around here, holding us in contempt,
gave us no more than a few weeks...
a lot of the irc, especially the lameass wannabes on ansi
gave us a lot of flak...
a lot of people in the 800 scene gave us hell about yet another
group..
and guess what, were back...
needless to say, acme is here to stay, and so heres out second
pack..
acme had a phenominal time between june 10 and july 10..
seemed that i developed a new style for myself, and sniper
developed his own ass-kickin style..
kermur, after joining up with asia, maxed out his ascii technique
and improved tenfold. for the first time ever, shadowhawk
sat down and drew an ansi..and it wasnt bad.
pinky delved into the realm of new styles and such, but still
dished out a few kickass anime picts which you can check out..
on that note, youre in for a treat..
the pack this month went fairly smoothly although cryptic blood
took off to europe and shadowhawk has been on vacation for the
entire last month except for one week in-between...:
this months pack includes work from the vga half of our group
so look for that as well..
although a number of sites were added, no new artists joined the
group. Marek, a coder joined, and with that, the promise of
a kickass acmeview sometime in the future, as well..
unfourtunately, we had to drop one member, Divine Intervention,
for a good reason. and thats all ive got to say about that.
and before i tell you to check out the pack, id just like to use
this space to voice one of my many opinions...
that opinion would be on the subject of small groups and small
grouping..
lately it seems, that anyone who runs/starts/joins a small
group is getting flak and shit from people on the irc, form
the writers and interviewees of emags, and from the scene in
general. this is one of the things wrong with the scene.
many of you people in the larger, more established groups
like to down all smaller groups...its become apparent to me
WHY acid was the best for so long. I mena, if acme could simply
FORCE smaller groups out of existance, stealing their best members
for 4 years in a row, i think acme would be the best group, too.
but with the emergence of such strong groups as union, shiver,
cia, integrity and bleach lately, this imperial pursuit, if you
will, has at least slowed a bit..
and at the core of this argument, id like to say that when i and
shadowhawk formed acme, we only knew about three groups...
ice, blade, and acid...pretty pathetic, huh? how could we be
wannabes when we didnt even know the scene existed? how?
the reason i formed the group is casue the lame boards i was
calling looked like shit and i wanted to draw for them..
thats it...not cuase i wanted to be more elite than anyone else
or cause i felt i could become the best group there was...no..
but rather because it was fun..alright? good...cause thats why
im still in the scene today, cause i am having fun running a
group, checking out the new packs, and reading the mags..
thats all...if anyone out there wants to say i formed the group
for any other reason....then fuck the hell off.
thank you for flying air acme, enjoy your stay here in the 0795
pack dept.
