TRiBAL WRiTES - The TR
iBE Newsletter - Volume 1 /
Issue 12 - May June
1994
Welcome to the FINAL installment of TRiBAL WRiTES.
It TRiBEs 12th pack,
but only our second, and as part of the change, TW is going
bye-bye.
Its been fun, but this is the past, and Theres no time l
ike the
present... to start thinking about the future. What is the
future? Go
back to the past, for a blast, Paradigm Returns to revolution
ize what it
revolutionized the first time! Starting THIS Archive, and ea
ch following
Archive youll be hearing all the poop in TRiBAL iNSTiNCTS di
rectly from
Cavalier.
To deal with it upfront, NO, TRiBE did not delay it
s pack, it CHANGED
the release date. The 10th simply was not a good time of the
month for
me. So after polling the membership with the choice of eithe
r going out
with one on the 10th, and another only 20 days later on the 1
st, everyone
perfered simply moving the date here and now. However, unlik
e SOME groups,
we fully point out that the material in this Archive was done
over a period
of aproximately 50 days, nearly two months, and accurately sh
ows it, with
nearly two pieces from every member. The entire episodes was
my fault for
being GAY and moving the release date in the first place. We
were going
to put out a TRIBE-25.ZIP : iMAGES of the Future type pack, b
ut with the
absolute moronic lamers that happen to hang out on ANSi thes
e days, we
felt theyd be too confused by it and run off looking for the
other dozzen
archives.
Yes, the rumors are true! Following the ever popul
ar trend, I have now
officially changed my handle! I am now a top secret Symbol
! When you
write it or say it, its The artist formerly known as Shihea
r Kallizad
or TafkaSk for the lazy or macro impaired.
Welcome Prime Evil and Chaos Breed into our TRiBE,
VGA and RIP artists
respectively. Pevil is also known as The Greet Master, so ge
t used to
it. Chaos Breed is best known for hooking SiDS up with his f
avorite
phrase, Laid Her. Both seem to be fitting right in here in t
he land of
TeePees and Payote. Yes, those are ASCiis by Piromaniac wh
o is also
new in TRiBE. Look for more ASCiis, ANSis and other surpri
ses from
Mr. Versitality himself.
Speaking of Payote, CyberChrist, the Ex-SWaT-Master
, not the ANSi doodler,
joins Cavalier this month as Shamans. Thats Staff to you
. Theyve
left thier previous situation to blaze some new trials in TRi
BAL Country.
Im still the lord high god of all things TRiBAL, but they ar
e here to
take the load off this old dog as we move ever forward.
Wish Quazar and Asriel a happy Summer vacation! QZ
rs off in Florida
with no computer until August. ASrs off in Seattle playing
at System
Administrator for a couple months. Both are officially on hi
atus and
you shouldnt expect to see anything from them until thier re
turn, at
which time well force them to do twice as much while we sit
back and
watch.
Its *BIN* two months since NaTiON was formed by TR
iBE Members. Maestro
Steve and Mistif Sinister not only activly conspired to take
the members
that they wanted with them, they took our idea, .BIN support.
Since it
was and *IS* TRiBEs intent to do for and support .BIN as ACi
D has done
for and supported .RIP, this is not a problem. In fact, thie
r embrace of
OUR idea, like that of so many that were a part of the old TR
iBE, only
goes to show, WHERE theyre AT in the present, is OUR past!
We NOW are the
future, and the new release of TV only goes to PROVE it. Mae
stro, who
didnt know a .BIN from his FAT HEAD until I told him what it
was, where
it was, and how to use it, has tried to one up us by puttin
g out .BIN
first. All you have to do is look at his .BIN, a 80x50 pictu
re on one
half, and a little font on the other 80x50 half, to see he re
ally has no
grasp of the full potential of .BIN! Yes guys, this is the
revolutionize
ANSi like ANSiMs VGA mode did thing. Unlike the 160x50 onl
y version of
.BIN support they tried to do, the idea was to support unlimi
ted length
ANSis in .BIN format. My work to get .BIN support predates
TRiBE, ask
anyone. Rad Man, for one, can attest to is, as he and Tazman
iac have
adapted SAUCE, *ACiD*s standard format to accomidate OUR fut
ure needs.
So a BIG HOW-DEE to NaTiON for following OUR lead and being t
he first to
support .BIN, albiet in the half assed manner they did. Chec
k out the
new TV.DOX for further information on .BIN and what else is u
p with TV.
One final word on NaTiON this month:
For those of you who said that
NaTiON was completely different than TRiBE, take a look at th
ier
membership. Out of their 21 artists, 10 were TRiBE Members a
t one point
in time half, and of those 10, 6 were TRiBE the same month
that TRiBE
disbanded and was recreated half again. Throw in NaTiONs
philosiphy
Now what is Nation? Nation is just a bunch of guys that
want to work
together and produce montly compliations of artwork. And of c
ourse, have
lots of fun doing it. Thats as simple as it gets kiddies. We
re not
claiming to be anything that were not and we dont care what
you have to
say about us. We are having alot of fun an thats what its
all about.
sounds EXACTLY like TRiBEs old philosiphy, and what you
have in NaTiON
is a carbon copy of the group that died with TRIBE-10.ZIP! F
or a group
...not claiming to be anything that were not..., they sure
have done
alot to say that theyre not what they are, old school TRiBE
Shudder, yes, I know, I was the ASS he is now. Im sorr
y, really. I
just had to breifly point this most glaring comparason out.
I wish that
I had never said, things like TRiBEs about fun!, Were a
loose
orginiazation of individual who release art under the TRiBE l
abel., or
We dont compete so we dont care what you think of us. bec
ause it
means I was just like - HIM! Then again, Im sure he and the
ANTi-TafkaSk
cronies of his will sleep sound tonight realizing that hes j
ust like -
ME! In sofar as TRiBE/NaTiON goes, this one bit o text says
everything
you could ever want to know.
Thats it, ladies and gentlemen. The final TRiBA
L WRiTES. Instead of
a bunch of greets Prime Evil! that nobody cares to read, an
d fewer
people ever understand, Im gonna clip out bits from all of t
he other
TRiBAL WRiTES as a farewell.
The artist formerly known as Shihear Kallizad.

TRiBE would like to make it known that WE are the on
e-man-show that The
Untimed refuses to acknowldge. Wed also like to point out
that its not
a fair statement there are more of us in TRiBE than Dreamevil
! Not to
mention that its that kind of closed mindedness that has iCE
living in a
dream world where ..now theyre ACiD just a breeding ground
s for iCE..
and Quality is better than most. iCE Quality is the best.

recruitment
of Glenn Danzig on the behalf of ACiD, it is no longer A bad
thing... to
activly recruit ACiD Artists into TRiBE. All members of TRiB
E should feel
free to take any oppertunity to hound any ACiD Artist into jo
ining TRiBE.
Of course, ELs news that TRiBE has Disbanded should hit you
all very
hard, not to mention making the recruitment of ACiD Artists m
oot, dont
you think? Then again, since RaD Man has joined TRiBE, thus
giving us
ACiDs greatest Artist ever, you never know...

Quazar finally found some time to write something
