this has probably been one of the most strange and confusing months
in fires history. our problems began in ernest when i disappeared for
two weeks at the end of the school year. we still managed to get a good
pack out 06/96, but some of the groups members got accidentally jilted.
i apologize personally and sincerely to jeepee and the extremist for this
accidental treatment. back to this month: ive been working, having fun,
etc and therefore kinda decided to leave the group to its own for a
little while at the beginning of the month. big mistake. : when i did
start being dragged back in thanks to surreal logic, maxwell and some
others i found that half the group had departed in panic and that
numerous talk was floating around about the group being dead. *sigh*
well to start off, were not dead yet. : were not going to be dead
far a damn long while if i can help it... theres still a lot more to be
done in my own personal plan for world domination. : in any case, to
make a long boring story short, in order to revitalize the group, i cooked
up a new constitution, which has been capped and explained in great
detail by surreal logic. any member who wants this new charter can get
it from good old nick. you outsiders can keep on wondering how and where
fire gets its slick-ass moves. :
the group has been devided into several main teams. this is to
serve several purposes. the first being internal competition. one of
fires premises has always been self-improvement, and the different fire
teams provide an excellent medium for a little friendly pride and
shit-talking to help spur things onward. the second reason for this split
is also quite simple: fire is getting huge. unlike radman :, i dont
think i have the time or ability to run this in its entirety anymore, so
im handing at least part of the reigns to some other studs. all the
teams have their own memberlists and the team leaders are as follows:
ansi team halaster
hi-rez team surreal logic
ascii team blatz
coding team lord cracker
music team silicon
several old senior staffers have been promoted or moved to new
positions. fractal, here, who has been a stalwart and integral member
of fire for some time, is one such member... but ill let him explain
that.
- friggity friggity frak!! -
ey people. Just saying my 2 cents for the Fire info file
here :. Well this month should certainly be one of our
best packs if not our best. A number of members dropped
out on us this month, but it definitely hasnt affected
the quality of this pack. Weve got a new constitution
which should help us out all the more. Just for the record,
Im not running Fire Ascii anymore so give your ascii applications
and work to Blatz the new ascii division coordinator, not me!@ :.
I told everyone last month that I was going to totally quit making
ascii art but Ive decided to keep on drawing a bit of it, but not
at all as much as before. Im concentrating on my ansi career as
of now. Look for one or two ansi pics by me next month along with
another logo colly :.
Anyway, Im happy cause Im finally on summer break!@ Now i can do
a hella lot more stuff without having to think about school! Woooo
ooOOooOoo!@@* :
P.S. Im gone to Pittsburgh from August 6 to August 20 so I wont
be on irc at all and I wont answer my mail. Doh. :

- i babble! -
the following is an account of the goings on in fire ascii for
the past month, delivered concisely by my old punky pal, blatz.
- bl4tz! -
Alot has happened in the ascii devision of Fire this month. Fractal decide
to make ansi his first priority and give the ascii division to me Blatz. He
will still be giving us a few asciis every now and then i understand. We gaine
quite a few members this month as well. Coming to us from Blur, Trank, Basic,
and a slew of others is EXULTED. His logos are amazing and were glad hes here
Also joining is SMOKEY from Plain and Eclipse. Im not sure wether we will get
anything from him because i have heard that he had to quit the scene due to a
large phone bill. But i think we may get his last few asciis before he goes.
Also coming from Plain is THE EMPEROR. He does really good 25 liners but im
not sure if hell have anything in this pack because he just joined. Another
person who just joined in the last week is CREEPING DEATH. He comes from Oil
and Soap I think. His pics are amazing, thats prolly why kHz loves him so
much . The final new member coming from Oil, Mop, and Toxic is ABNORMAL.
He is one of the best new comers I have seen in a long while. Leaving this
month is ECONOCHRIST. I understand he is joining up with Eeries new group, bu
he might have a few last asciis for Fire. Im not sure if hell be giving us
anything yet. I wish him luck in the future. Thank you and Drive Thru -Blatz
- I babble! -
surreal logic is really a cool guy, but if he thinks that quitting
the group is generally a good way to get my attention, im gonna have to
nick his little frenchie ass. : hehehee.
- oooh .. baby. thats so surreal! -
Howdy folks. The mighty Fire HiRez Division, new as it may be, has
undergone some massive changes this month. First off, a big wet kiss to God
Among Lice whos currently on vacation check out the great pic he left us
before he went off to south-east Uganda. Good ol Licey gracefully gave up
his position as Fire VGA Coordinator when Fire President Halaster revamped
the group. He still remains a faithful flamer, unlike ex-Fire RIP Coodinator
Shaolin, who has sadly departed for ACiD he will be missed. Resident Fire
Anime-master Winbee also departs this month, this time for mOp. A big thanks
to bee, who left us some great artwork before moving on. New members this
month include pSionide. No one else! g ... pSi is a versatile artist whose
work extends into both the ANSI and VGA fields from his artwork this pack,
he already looks to be a great addition to our slimlined Fire HiRez Crew.
Oh, and as a side note: to any of you who havent quite grasped what
the Fire HiRez Division is comprised of, heres a little recap. VGA and RIP,
in addition to any other media which fall through the cracks of the scene,
such as IDF or ADF, are the main foundation of the new HiRez Division which
can most likely be determined from the division name . Hope that clears it
up a little :
Before I forget, just for any HiRez Division members who havent
contacted me yet, make sure to look at our new RIP memberlist. If you were
left off the memberlist by accident, my apologies. Make sure to contact me
next pack, and youll be on there : If your name is starred, you need to
contact me vis-a-vis your participation in the division this means that I
basically havent reached you personally at this time. I can be e-mailed at
dbouton@direct.ca.
surreal logic
- i have eerie-kun in a trash can -
i snuck into samsara the other day and kidnapped eerie. im
holding him for ransom from the samsara members for 10 dollars.
if you ever want to see him alive again, youll have to stay tuned to
this newsletter for further details.
let me out!
*CLANG* *RATTLE* *GRUNT*
no. now go draw a font for that cybertopia ansi!
- coding update -
there is no coding update, cuz lord cracker never gave me one.
hell make it up next month, though. :
- my team kicks ass -
its no mystery what fires biggest selling point is currently:
ansi art. i would like to stress though, that even though fires ansi
team kicks big butt, id love to see fire hi-rez or ascii grow to be
equally strong. we definately have the necessary leadership! help out
surreal and blatz out! help lord cracker! be all that you can be,
join dark! oops.
in any case, fire bolsters our ansi forces this month with the
addition of gunthar, a talented and loyalistic artist from rune.
gunthar has resisted the siren call of scene fame in the past, which
is something that i deeply respect. its great to have another artist
along for the ride who cares more for art than his popularity! welcome,
gunthar! along with gunthar comes sniper, who shows astounding promise
in the ansi medium. hes just beginning, so far as i know, and is
not the same sniper from relic i had hoped. : . welcome, sniper!
psionide, a former i think its the same psionide fire ansi artist,
returns this month with some buttkick work. hes also good at vga!
cheggit! finally, we welcome psyberrape, whos a very talented pic
artist from parts unbeknownst to me. i think hes either numbs or
emilys son, actually. *shrug* btw: never argue with numb. hes
yes, i think hes a he, not a she never to be taken seriously unless
hes singing.
greets to the entire fire ansi team! woop woop woop woop!
- im getting surreal again. -
Heya. Me again. Here to discuss Fires new Web Division, headed by
yours truly. Since our definite founding a week ago, FireWeb has grown to an
immense 4 members! : ... Well have to wait till next pack to see what
becomes of this fabulous division, but applications can be made to me
Surreal Logic or Spark, my sub-coordinator. We can both be found on IRC at
various times I can be reached at dbouton@direct.ca, and Spark can be found
at bhassard@intergate.bc.ca. We hope to see our division grow as FireWeb is
designed and assembled throughout the summer!
Oh, and by the way ... until FireWeb is officially up and running
which should most likely be late July/early August, netherwOrld my web- zine is acting as Fires Temporary WebHQ. It should be back up by July
15th or so, at the following URL:
