August / RE: WARNING! (marquee)
Why
are you two bring your arguement to Acheron? No one wants to hear
about your marital problems. Go see a counselor.
In my educated
opinion, you are both quite lame, and need to get a life. Brain_stew,
whoever the hell you are, I think you need to get your priorities
straight. Maybe spend more time improving your ANSI skills instead
of taking over channels? And, ummm... dont use the word "lamer"
please, it makes me sick... it sounds like you are trying to be
oNe 3l337 moThA fUcKAh, WhEn YeW rEA||y aReN'T. Idiots.

August / RE: WARNING! (inazone)
Just
once, can people knock off the pathetic IRC takeover antics? We
hear about the abuse of ops and the overall attitude problems
that run rampant. But is it really that much fun to take over
a channel just because you can? While I don't think that d_skwerl
really needs to make a big deal about the #distant takeover, I
also think Brainstew (and White-T) could make a point of NOT acting
like a couple of little kids hogging the sandbox.
This
stuff isn't news, it's childish behavior. I think we need to start
instituting age and/or IQ restrictions on IRC channels.
20 August / RE: WARNING! (brain
stew)
D_skwerl
(the suckiest ansi artist I know) has written some information
about me which is more than likely untrue. he will probably say
I takeover every channel I get my hands on. But the only thing
I've done is take #rca and given it back after about 4 seconds
for fun, and taken his lame group(distant) once and forever. I
know takeovers are lame, but I find this one amusing. Because
I like to hear the lamer try to come up with something that makes
sense in order to bitch me out

This debate really sucks hard as stone.. it whould be boring as
hell if all groups release at the same time. Think about it..
you'd have to wait a whole month for coming artpacks.
Release
when you feel good about releasing. Having the same deadline every
month is for groups with members who just communicate one time/month..
"big
yellow man" for a non-release on time generation

Well
firewall i guess your too chicken to reply to my email becuase
i haven't had a response yet. and this "most of the scene is backing
me up" crap is bullshit. have you ever ran a sucessful group?
i doubt it, i doubt you even know what it takes to get a pack
out on time. stop being so halfassed about things.

Hmmm,
it seems as though I've started a small war :) And I see that
the majority of people are on my side. Pack quality *IS* important,
but deadlines are just as important. I mean, im sure any group
could release a quality pack if they had 3 months to do it. You
can't just give out extra time in the assumption that you will
get higher quality art. That is just mental. Im sure if the groups
were more organized, then meeting a pack deadline would not be
hard at all. It's all about organization. Why not release on time
every month, and whoever misses the release can just add to the
pack next month and make it that much better? It all evens out,
and in the meantime, why not make the downloaders happy with a
pack that's on time?

To Etena, you had some good points in you article .. Sometimes
it is an issue of organization. If you have lots of it, the pack
gets out on time. If you dont, though, it may still come out ontime,
but just slapped together[archive wise] .. =) [ed note: you just
did talk about pack deadlines :)]

To
just put my two cents in on the debate of quality vs. deadlines
when it comes to releasing packs on time.. I don't think, it's
really that difficult to do both. Hallucigenia has only released
three packs, but they've always been on time and we've always
been pleased with them. It just requires a bit more organization..
calling work in a week before the pack goes out--leaving time
for stragglers--and then saying to anyone else, "don't worry,
we'll catch you next time around." The group knows what to expect
and everyone goes home happy.

ALL BE ON TIME?(scrye)
In one of my previous posts I noted that late packs contain better
quality art, but it seems I may have worded it horribly/sparsly[sp],
and some people may have percepted it wrong. =)
What
I meant was, in cases where groups may have to release late due
to hold backs of things such as school, it's better just to release
late with completed art, then to release on time with art that
may not be complete, or that may need some tweaking.
On
the other hand, during times like summer or during vacations,
it is just fine to release on time[Maybe early!] because many
artists have free time to draw, in situations like this.

CANT WE ALL BE ON TIME? (zeusII)
Just
read the two little texts about groups deadlines, and I'd like
to inform you all that Avenge is one of the groups that believe
in releasing on the 1st each month, on time, and we have done
so far. Sure, not every pack has been flawless, but if you just
cooperate and take it easy releasing on a set date can be done
just fine. there's no need to exaggerate saying every pack released
on time is garbage and every pack thats delayed is top qual. it
can easily be the other way around.
We tell our
artists that if they cant make the upcoming deadline, theres no
need to worry because there will always be a next pack (how ever
i admit its fun to make the deadline. but why submit unfinished
ansis when you dont have to?)
If you want
packs on time, you want avenge packs.
Have a nice
day.

You
mean.. someone.. actually noticed that Function was late? I'm..
(sniff) ... touched.
- A very emotionally
stimulated Quip.

Quality takes time .. I sawe Firewall's earlier article about
how none of his favorite groups release on time, but I'm sure
most of you realize that packs are usually late for a good reason
.. Which would you preffer? An on time package, full of garbage,
or a late package full of gold? Mind you, other things usually
contribute to a late package, no? For example, Quip and Warpus
both are having computer problems, which explains the slight delay
F(x)4 had .. Those are just my thoughts ..

Okay. I've
been an avid follower of all aspects of the scene for years now.
And the thing that has always grabbed my gurdle the most is the
fact that groups take no pride in releasing their packs on time.
Im sure the people that view the packs (this includes me) don't
appreciate having to wait for a pack that's two weeks late. It
just turns you off from that pack in general, and kills the hype.
Now, I know
that artgroups put packs out as entertainment, and get no REAL
reembursement for their artwork, so I can't blame them all that
much. But if you set a deadline, stick to it! iCEs pack was over
a week late this month, and I still don't see ACiD's pack. Come
on guys, i don't want to see another Fire take place.
