Union Packet #2 (02/1994)   by Union

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ THE UNiON COMPENDIUM 02-94 │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Back again is the underdog of today's art community and appreciators. That of the independant art group, UNiON. Yet another art compilation has been compiled over the hustle and bustle of the last month's attempts at gathering all the members from the merger. Due to previous lack of good communication between the majority of the iMAGE group, it has been quite a task to try to nail down all the members locations and/or position in the group. We've come a fair ways in ironing out the groups problems, and thus have lost some members in the process, while at the same time, gaining a few more and re-adjusting the structure of the group to accomodate these new/lost members. Over the last month, we lost Cybernary. One of our Senior Staff here at UNiON. Cybernary has obviously found a better place with ETERNiTY and has left UNiON for them. It came as a shock that Cybernary "left" the group as there was no mention from him regarding his interest in leaving nor his final decision. It was through other members that we finally determined his group jump. With this loss of a Senior member in the group, Nailz and myself elected to "promote" Dark Image to a Senior position as he was helping quite a bit with gathering the previous iMAGE side of members, as well as contributing to Primal Net. Dark Image's board is also the U.S. Headquarters for UNiON now due to Bodily Harm's problems and demise. Another member gained over the last month was Lockup. He was previously with Paradox Productions, a popular demo group. We welcomed him to UNiON with the position of Coding Co-ordinator due to Winter Mute's busy schedule. Genesis joined us as well from Paradox Productions. He is a very talented VGA artist, and you should see more of his work in Lockup's loaders. As well, Camanshie joined from Paradox and will have his music compositions added as a part of Lockup's loaders as well. On a dark note for UNiON, a local lamer to the WHQ decided it would be cool to hack an account on the board and thus delete half of the hard drive causing the board to go down for some 2 weeks. There is no direct proof as to the identity of the culprit but suspicions have been raised to its being Night Shade, infamously known for his affilations with Pentagram, UNiTY, iCE, and CRiMSON. As I mentioned, there is no direct proof to this accusation, but I would not put it past a lamer of this calibre. To clarify some of the misconceptions concerning No Carrier, a Trial member with us here at UNiON, he is an artist from 613, not the infamous 609 No Carrier who has been reported as an art "ripper" and therefor can not be given credit for his work. Our No Carrier produces only original art work, nothing is ever ripped. Any artist that "rips" their work as I have seen/heard tales of them doing, does not deserve to be affilated with UNiON or any art group for that matter. Any group who contains such a member is only doing themselves the disfavor and is tarnishing their over- all reputation. If you find this pack to your liking and would like to be considered for application for a position as an artist, distrobution site, headquarter board, or a courier for UNiON, please make yourself known to a senior member as well as the individual division co-ordinator for the section your are applying for. As well, if you find that your name is missing from the member list or you think your name shouldn't be in the list, contact me ASAP on Flatlined Reality. Small Greets: Cybernary: Thanks for the letter of resignation. Glenn Danzig: Welcome aboard... Dark Image: Next you'll want a room with a view, right? Bluewater: Hey, I dunno... just thought it would be cool. Blitzkrieg: I still have $50 on you.. I mean a 15 year old surly can take that TO guy. :) General Protocol: Your 25 megs worth of files.... may the rest in peace. The Loon: God knows why.... Psychopat: Thanks for the tips... and the loader man. Pennywise: Good luck with APeX... Polarized Infusion: Keep going man... don't let up... MEEP! DJ Kaos: Just felt it was the thing to do... respects Keith. All Couriers: Hey, another won't hurt... keep up the good work... iMAGE Comics: Bet you never thought you'd be THIS big... ─ ⌠
