                                Info
                            - ------ -

As I've stated  since the very first  issue of this Ascii Gazette, this aint a
magazine where I try to  contest in being cool and writing  hot stuff. What we
write in this production is pure INFORMATION about the ascii-scene and NOTHING
else.  Thats  why  I was glad to  see that Art Bomb was  quite unlike  to this
production, and I hope they'll keep it that way. And also  that it aint a 100%
ascii-magazine, but  a creation with  psx and  music aswell, that  pleased me.
Since there are more rumours  about ascii-magazines I'd like to state  another
thing. I've worked really hard with this gazette since the start, and if I see
ANY kind of information that might be TAKEN (without  permission in that case)
from  the  Ascii Gazette - I'll personally  hunt down  that indeed POOR author
until every  single spread copy of that  ripped  crap is erased FOREVER.  Just
liked to tell you all that.
I'm right now doing my military-service  (a reason why my  own ascii-activites
are down to zero) which will have  to be the explaination why this issue is so
delayed (as usually). The scene  seems to be intact thu' with some really good
releases, and  quite a lot of  worse ones. Anyway  there still  are REALLY few
releases, but from the ones  released there  are mostly  group-releases, which
pleases me.
But here is now  finally  the tenth  issue of  the  nowadays really  damn good
spreaded and notified Ascii Gazette.

                                      /  Xcluziwe ( xCz ) of Sos and Hellfire.

Here they are, all the boards that have been more or less involved with
all the ascii-crews through the years.

Boards mentioned with ( ) are not hq's, only boards where you could meet
users from the groups. And the sign - declares that I really don't know
who the sysop is or if that group really had any own headquarters.

   Adon announces to all that might wonder where he has gone; You can
    write into your mag that i've got a new computer, and also a working
    keyboard - and maybe i will do some more logos in the coming time.

   Splatter announces the following about Azkiness; Still no good contact
    with Paszczak, but he might return and release again, but right now
    aint there any signs of life, and Splatter might join another crew,
    which he did when he joined up with Looker House. But Azkiness still
    lives on.

   Nup of Mo'Soul renamed to B. Like to chat him? Try to find his e-mail,
    he liked to have it censured here in the Gazette.

   Exile did recreate Grand Royal after Red Demon had left for House of
    Style, and later Low Profile. Now he's in charge of the group together
    with the new members War child and Lord Chaos.

   Maz spoke about his old group Art, and first declared it as dead (he
    also says that he's really tired of making ascii, and has probably
    quitted for good, but he couldn't 100% declare those facts) but did
    after a while convinced himself that Art probably still is active.

   Contras future is now unclear as the leader H2o left, and the other
    members hasn't said anything about any new joinings nor changes.

   Zeus declares him leaving Style with this: aha.. well, i'm releasing
    a new collection soon, to inform my resignment (which has happened over
    3-4 months ago) from style. i'll see if somebody's interested, but i
    don't think so, i'm no good at ascii anyway.. (Oh YES you are. Ed.)

   Lord Chaos is about to re-join a ascii group, and it might be the newly
    reorganizing Grand Royal.

   Art Bomb was released, and it showed not at all to be an 'ordinary'
    ascii-mag, but a vote-chart covered with 85% other interests (like psx
    and music) instead of pure ascii, like this mag, The Ascii Gazette.

   A new group was created, Mad Skillz, by Mexx, who earlier just had been
    independent.

   Ascii Makers Feduration renamed to Link 124, and two new members joined.

   Ultimo Imperio are once again in trouble. As Low Profile declared them war
    hasn't life been easy. And now recently were english Ultima 're'-born and
    will use the 'ult'-tag in file-names.

   The 100 Most Respected Ascii-Artists project by Punk of Head is cancelled
    after two never released issues. Instead will Punk work on a new larger
    project called 'Art and Style' including;
    - top 100 most respected ascii-artists (also counted tribute-collies).
    - top  20 most respected ascii-groups  (also counted tribute-collies).
    - top 100 guest-artists.
    - a list of all checked collies.
    which will be released in a not too distant future.

   Wild Style was reborn by Tsar1 when he released his first pack for a long
    time. He could also nowadays be seen on the internet once in a while.
    Other old school artists who has returned to the scene through the inter-
    net are Rotox, Kamenski, Maz and Mo' Soul's Manta.

   When Hiro Protagonist released his large latest colly, it was under the
    Remorse label. Remore is (according to Hiro Protagonist) THE oldest
    ascii/ansi-crew EVER (note that it has nothing to do at all with amiga-
    ascii) with a history that goes back to 1981. They are now reborn and
    are added to the Ascii Gazettes databank.
    This is a great part of what Hiro Protagonist explained about the pc-ascii
    scene. Read and learn, this explains alot;

       The Ibm ascii scene began in 1993, with an ansi group named Tribe.
    Tribe was the first ansi group to release ascii, their ascii man was
    Piromaniak. The first all-ascii group was Katharsis!Ascii (an offshoot
    of the original Katharsis clan). Tinyz was the original member of
    Kts!Asc and still heads the group today. Katharsis!Ascii membership
    included artists across the globe, and was the only ascii group in the
    ibm scene until in late 1994 when Necromancer and Necronite (both of
    whom were previously in Shiver) founded a group called Remorse. Remorse
    was the basis for what I have come to term the 'ibm ascii explosion'.

       It is here that we see a split in the ibm ascii scene, what we call
    the old school and the new school. The new school came about as certain
    artists in Remorse developed a new block style of ascii, more closely
    related to ansi than anything else. The old school remains based on
    _\|/- characters while the new school employs .s$" as it's primary
    character table (as a side note: alot of new school does not translate
    properly to an amiga due to certain highbit ascii characters which are
    frequently used in the style do not have exact counter-parts under the
    amiga ascii table, or their locations differ).

       Until Katharsis!Ascii released it's first ascii colly, the standard
    form for distribution of artwork in the ibm scene was single files in a
    zip archive. The reasons for this are simple: viewers could be easily
    coded to handle the relatively small individual works; the works could
    be colored or left uncolored on an individual basis at the artist's
    discression; and the tradition of ibm ascii was that each individual
    logo was a work of art unto itself, style and alignment changed to suit
    the needs of the logo rather than rewording the logo so it fits some sort
    of cookie-cutter ascii font set. And our scene's approach to art was
    entirely different than your's. When a group released the entire group
    released. Everyone who had something for the month's pack (usually
    released within the first week of a month) got their submissions to the
    senior staff or founder(s) who would then assemble everything into a
    single archive, write the newsletter and memberlist, and release the damn
    thing. In three weeks the whole process would start up again as artists
    reacted to last month's pack and came back with more individual styles
    and responses.

       The first 'colly' to debut in the ibm ascii scene was released by
    the group Katharsis!Ascii. It was called THENME.TXT and was a rather
    childish response to Remorse's founding (Kts!Asc was used to being the
    only ascii group), but it was 350k of amazing artwork and set us all
    spinning in different directions. The trend was not immediately picked
    up but Katharsis!Ascii continued to release it's 'Group Collys' and try
    to come to grips with a North American ascii boom in Remorse. Necromancer
    and Necronite dropped out of the scene by the 3rd Remorse pack and
    Whodini and Omicron were left to manage it their place. By the 5th pack
    Whodini had had enough and quit to found a new group, Trank. Invitations
    to join Trank were extended to most of Remorse (the people Whodini liked
    at any rate), and so we continued on under a new banner.

       The amiga font became popular with some of us, and so we did art which
    was accessable across platforms. The inherent nature of the / and \ under
    the amiga font bringing new shame to our old 80x25 ibm ascii styles which
    now looked like hell under it. Our productivity grew in leaps and bounds,
    instead of 4 or 5 logos a month artists began doing 70k ascii collys
    every three months. From there it all just kept on going..

    And this is what Hiro Protagonist has to say about Remorse;

       Remorse recently reformed by a merger between Trank and the ACiD ascii
    division (ACiD, if you've been living under a rock, is the longest 
    running art group in the world). The Wu-Trank label is being kept alive
    at some level, going back to represent the inner clique it originally had
    for some. Remorse1981 has evolved out of the Wu, at some level, but seems
    more progressive to me somehow. Meanwhile the main body of Remorse is
    releasing in the ACiD pack as well as the old familiar RMRS-xx.ZIP
    archives.

    The difference of the pc and amiga ascii-scenes has caused a lots of
    problems for magazines like this one. I've decided to include artists,
    groups and packs that appears in the .TXT-way. They may be from pc-
    related groups like Remorse. Just as long as they are released in a 'amiga
    viewable' way.

   There were rumours about a 'artists unite' project by some called Expose,
    but it never became more (at the moment) than rumours.

                            All the Releases
                        - ------------------ -

As we all know is it quite hard to read all the ascii-productions that is
being released nowadays. Here have I tried to complish a list of all
collections that came to my hands (and that ought to be atleast about 98%)
during the period since the latest Ascii Gazette. And how many are they
then? The nineth Gazette was released the 11/12 1996, and the ones I've
stored on my harddrive are as many as 118 collections.

Now the ascii scene has lotsa new groups, where pc-artists are in most of
them. More comments about the amiga/pc-asciiscene in the News part, go
read it. And as usually quite many 'my first colly'-productions.

No coop-collections with more than one group neither this time.

In this issue the All Times Release Chart with the Top Ten Of All Times
(which shows the most active groups through all times in a list based on
Ascii Gazette issue 2,3,5,6,7,8,9 and 10) continues. Always changing as
you'll notice. If you like to blame groups doing to much quantity, this is
where you really should look.

The latest update of this list was as usual made just some minutes before
this Gazette was released.

                      Artists with E-Mail-adresses
                   - ----------------------------

Theese are the artists who have been smart enough to get their own e-mail-
adresses, and are available on different amiga channels on the IRC etc.
Lots of updates made on this list. It's truly great to see that contact
over the borders won't have to be as hard as it used to be.
The net is good for us. Go get it you too.
If the group says 'Independent' it means that the artists aint within any
100%-asciicrew, it won't mean that this artists is totally independent.

Many thanks to Cesium/Session and Lord/Absolute who made the original
E-mail lists where I found some of these artists.

Sorry that my own adress aint there, but I share it with a friend of mine,
so it's kind of hard for me to rechieve letters that way, but why not try
to catch me on the IRC on the #AmiElite -channel. Always as xCz, xCluziwe,
xCZ^sOS, 'xCZ'hF' or simular.

                             Groups Active
                         - --------------- -

These are instead the active groups of today. With the members as they
are situated today.

And about Divine Stylers, Grotesticle and some more, they are groups that
aint 100% Ascii-groups, but I included them anyway, since they have members
who releases for them as they were ordinary Ascii-groups, and other releases
than ascii are rare or hasn't even appeared yet.
Also various other crews has a reputation to be ascii-groups, but the ones I
possibly can't include are the ones listed below the ordinary groups-list.
And if there are artists who appear on more than one place, thats only because
they are accepted as artists in more than one crew.

As I've never heard of a few of these groups members, I can't possible know
their tags, so these few tags are written with a '  ' infront of them, to
make you aware of this. I only made a few guesses to these names.

                           All the Artists
                       - ----------------- -

This is, believe it or not, a list of ALL artists (that we've been able to
spot), who sometime in their lifes has released something that could be
called an Ascii-collection. The names listed below, my ladies and gentlemen,
are The Artists.
And do notice that some of the names here are former handles/tags of artists
who now has a new handle, but they still appear here if you should find any
tag on a ascii which you wondered who has made it, and would like to find
out. So, when artists change handle I just add their new handle and dont
remove the old one.

Quick key-definition should go like this:  -  =  Artist don't use any tag.
And there are only 5 artists who won't use any tag at all.

Easy eh? Well, lets go then, 630 Artists. And that means that since the
last issue of the Ascii Gazette, released 11/12-96, it has appeared 37 new
artists in our beloved Ascii-scene. Please bring us more names, if you
know any, by telling about them to xClUZiWe through e-mail, irc or any bbs.

                     Interview with Hijack of Arclite
                 - ---------------------------------- -


o1.  When did you make your first Ascii attempts?

     My first ascii attemps...  I guess it was about 10 years ago.
     I tried to make some "logos" with C-64. It has so nice chars...
     I made my first Amiga logos in 1992, first anims in 1993.

o2.  Do you know how many Ascii-productions have you released?

     Yes, not that many actually. Well it kinda depends what you count as
     ASCII productions. If you count all ASCII/ANSI SCENE related releases,
     I've released 11 ascii collections, 2 ansianimation collections,
     1 ansi collection, 1 ansi manual and an iff2ansi converter.

o3.  What's so damn special with Ascii?

     Dunno. I prefer ANSI.

o4.  Have you got any special idols from the Ascii-scene?

     I guess I could say that RED DEVIL/DEZIGN is my idol. He was
     the reason why I started to make ansianimations. He was also ahead
     of his time in ansi logos. He knew how to use ITALIC, BOLD and
     UNDERLINE. To him ansi logos were not just ascii logos with
     colours. I've got 65 ansilogos by him, all made with different style.
     How many of you can compete with that? None.
     I also love the work of ARCLITE dudes, their logos always inspire
     me to make cool animations.

o5.  What's your opinion about the Iff2Ascii-Art?

     I think it's ok to convert iff pictures into ascii, I've used iff2ascii
     in some of my anims (in ascii morphing for example). Everything that
     LOOKS good IS good in my opinion. Another thing is that how many
     percent of the converted stuff actually LOOK good.
     I prefer "pixel perfect" multicolor iff2ansi converters like
     Ansi Hijacker.

o6.  Are dot's more stylish than 'regular' Ascii?

     Humm. Are circles more stylish than 'regular' ellipses?

o7.  Do you read every single collection that is released today?

     Hell no. I have enough trouble checking out all the collections
     that my friends release. BTW: IRC is an EVIL place. How can you
     say NO to some poor ascii artists face when he dcc sends you
     his latest collection?-)

o8.  Do you answer requests made to 'All Available Artists' ?

     Nope. I think I have never answered other requests than the ones
     which were addressed to me. (To be honest, even the ones who
     write directly to me don't have a very good chance to actually
     GET a logo, since I'm a damn lazy person)

o9.  How should a request be written to be guarantied a answer from you?

     I answer all the messages I get, but if you want to be sure that
     you get a logo from me, noticeable money donation would assure it.

1o.  Are there more Ascii-groups than there has to be?

     Yep, I think so. There are also way too many "artists", but I guess
     every artist has a fan somewhere. I mean even some of the most
     popular artists are pretty lame in my humble opinion, but I won't
     say any names here. To make the world a better place, I decided
     reduce the number of lame ascii artists, and I quited making
     asciis. I hope many people would follow my example.

11.  What do you think of the attitude in the Ascii-scene of today?

     I think the ascii scene is a bit too hostile, people are fighting
     about everything. For example, it was quite weird how everybody
     reacted when Shapechanger joined us. If we say somebody has joined
     ARCLITE, you better BELIEVE it's true. We have no reason to lie
     about our memberlist.

12.  What do you think about the idea of having special magazines
     dedicated to the Ascii-scene?

     I think it's a nice idea, but I think the QUALITY of ascii magazines
     could be much better.

13.  Is there a big difference between Old-skool Ascii and Ascii of today?

     Humm... I guess there isn't THAT big difference, but somehow most of
     the ascii dudes I respect have been in the business for a really long
     time. I guess it's quite hard to amaze me anymore, since there are so
     many artists out there. The competition is quite hard nowadays. It's
     hard to be original, and that's actually one of the reasons why I
     decided to make ansianimations.

14.  Have you any special projects going on that will be released in a
     near future?

     Yes indeed. I've been working on my next ansianimation collection
     for 8 months now, and it's almost finished. Mop/Essence has coded
     a nice GUI for it and Cyclone/Illusion & Mistral/Parallax have
     pixeled me some real gfx. It's going to have some cool music too,
     and EVERYBODY from Arclite (except G.E.M.) are involved in this
     big COOPERATION. All anims are for BBS usage (download, upload,
     and so on...), so I guess many sysops are going to jump for joy.
     There is also going to be an amazing ansi intro in it, including
     many nice effects (true 3d was just beginning) like glenz ansi
     morphing and animated iff2ansi stuff.

15.  What would you be doing instead of Ascii if you suddenly quitted?

     I have suddenly quitted making asciis, and I'm making ansianims
     instead. There are better ascii artists than me, so I decided to
     concentrate on ansianims.

16.  Do you have a horny snoop doggy dogg?

     Nope, but I've got a TI-92 with no batteries.

     P.S. Everybody, feel free to contact me via e-mail: rt3097@tutech.fi
          And remember: ANIM A DAY MAKES YOU INSANE!

                     Interview with Ranx of Jedi Arts
                 - ---------------------------------- -


And this is what I had to face;

o1.  When did you make your first Ascii attempts?

        - Somewhere around '92

o2.  Do you know how many Ascii-productions have you released?

        - About 20 I guess.

o3.  What's so damn special with Ascii?

        - It's easy to do and looks good, eh.

o4.  Have you got any special idols from the Ascii-scene?

        - Desoto makes damn good looking ascii. Simple, but VERY good
          looking. Also Shock G is always inspiring..

o5.  What's your opinion about the Iff2Ascii-Art?

        - It's fine to me if it looks good.

o6.  Are dot's more stylish than 'regular' Ascii?

        - Hell no..

o7.  Do you read every single collection that is released today?

        - No, but most of them yes.

o8.  Do you answer requests made to 'All Available Artists' ?

        - Depends on the size of my current request list heh.

o9.  How should a request be written to be guarantied a answer from you?

        - If you add my email address in a carbon copy or other mailing
          list you WON'T get any ascii that's for sure.

1o.  Are there more Ascii-groups than there has to be?

        - How about a one big ascii group then? No thanks. Sure there
          has to be a lot of groups. Rather a lot of groups than ALOT
          of independents..

11.  What do you think of the attitude in the Ascii-scene of today?

        - There are some artists who's attitude I don't like. And there
          are also some whose I do like. I think it's pretty well
          balanced..

12.  What do you think about the idea of having special magazines
     dedicated to the Ascii-scene?

        - There shouldn't be a scene without a magazine.

13.  Is there a big difference between Old-skool Ascii and Ascii of today?

        - Not really .. to me atleast. About as big as in os skateboards
          and ns skateboards eh. If you know what i mean.

14.  Have you any special projects going on that will be released in a
     near future?

        - Just trying to compile another pack of requests. Altho I might
          try to make a bbs design collection someday.

15.  What would you be doing instead of Ascii if you suddenly quitted?

        - If i quit ascii I quit ascii. It really isn't the only thing
          I do so..

16.  Do you have that horny snoop doggy dogg everyone is talking about?

        - And my new pair of airwalks...

        ranx/jA!

             - ----------------------------------------- -


.X  A N S W E R S  X.

o1.  When did you make your first Ascii attempts?

1.  My very first attempts to make an aski logo, was somewhere in Januari /
    Februari 1995.I released my first pack in May the same year (for those
    who are interested it was called [RDM-GRDY.TXT].

o2.  Do you know how many Ascii-productions have you released?

2.  Yess actually, i do.

o3.  What's so damn special with Ascii?

3.  Its not specificly aski that is so appealing to me.I did gfx art before
    I started doing aski art.For me, the expression itself is what is more
    important.I like to make logos, in aski or plain gfx, or even graf pieces
    on papper.Perhaps i will started spraying in the future.

o4.  Have you got any special idols from the Ascii-scene?

4.  Desoto, Rapid, Stezotehic, Trivial, Axeblade, H2O, Webster, Dino, Folar,
    Relief, Mark ryder, U-man, Exocet, Crusader, Gozz, Mortimer Twang, Flite
    and Stylewars are my favorits.Perhaps there are a few more, but i can't
    call them to mind this instant.

o5.  What's your opinion about the Iff2Ascii-Art?

5.  I dont see IFF2ASC as an aski art form.In my opinion its more a form of
    gfx.

o6.  Are dot's more stylish than 'regular' Ascii?

6.  More stylish, perhaps, it just adds a little xtra to the ascii.

o7.  Do you read every single collection that is released today?

7.  I try to read all i can get my hands on, although some packs sometimes
    seem to be made to bore the viewer.In these cases I just read the intro
    and outro, and look at the style used in overall.

o8.  Do you answer requests made to 'All Available Artists' ?

8.  Most of the time i don't.I don't see why people ask art from "All Available
    Artists".They are apperantly not interested in *me* as an artist, cause
    they would have requested to me personaly.That means they do not spend
    enough time on the art-scene, the don't deserve art (atleast not mine).

o9.  How should a request be written to be guarantied a answer from you?

9.  There's no perscription to a "good" request.Most of the time i take the
    requests.If i do not take them, i'm probably too busy with projects.

1o.  Are there more Ascii-groups than there has to be?

10. Well, i could live without Wu Trank and Ultimo Emperio if that is what
    you mean.

11.  What do you think of the attitude in the Ascii-scene of today?

11. Pfff.. thats hard.I don't think you can speak of a scene in general.The
    scene is build up from individuals.They are more important to me than the
    scene is.Although i must say that some sceners somethese do have a bit of
    an arrogant attitude.Hopefully i will never be one of them.

12.  What do you think about the idea of having special magazines
     dedicated to the Ascii-scene?

12. Why not, it breaks the day.Perhaps there could be some more mags with
    interviews, which have questions that are interesting enough to read the
    reply from.

13.  Is there a big difference between Old-skool Ascii and Ascii of today?

13. That depends on which artist you are looking at.Art from some artist
    still have a taste from the old days in them.Far as i'm conserned thats
    okay, but i try to move on, make new styles, try different chars.I must
    add that at the time I became active in the scene the real *oldskool*
    was already starting to fade a bit.

14.  Have you any special projects going on that will be released in a
     near future?

14. I'm currently working on a coop with Boheme, which will probably be
    released somewhere in 2013.Besides that i'm working on my own packs, and
    on LP! as a group, to keep things on track.I was also thinking about
    creating a group called "High Profits".This group should consist of
    anyone who wants to release something else, beside aski packs.For
    instance humoristic stories, poems, comments on the scene, what ever you
    would want to tell the public, which can't be told in a normal pack.
    Only thing is, that you must be an aski artist to join.This to keep the
    connection with the aski scene.

15.  What would you be doing instead of Ascii if you suddenly quitted?

15. I would probably spend more time on skool.Besides that i would probably
    do the same things i do now-a-days, which is playing on my psx, snow-
    boarding, listening to music, and some skateboarding.

16.  Do you have a horny snoop doggy dogg?

16. No i do not.I do however, own a cat.This fact alone makes me an aski
    artist (hi Wise-k:), since cats and aski are very close.An investigation
    i did some time ago on this subject showed that almost 90% of the more-
    known artists have a cat.There are even artists who own more then one cat,
    for instane Hotwire who has four cats, making him a very good artist.
    I think that there should be a list, the "100-most-cat-friendly-artists".
    Perhaps Punk could make this list, it would serve more value then the one
    is making now.

2.  I released fifteen packs (coops included) and i also tried to do some
    crappy "humoristic" files.

                      Interview with Tango of Twisted
                  - --------------------------------- -


TANGo/Nerve Axis & Twisted

o1.  When did you make your first Ascii attempts?
	Oooh can't be sure but I'd say it was back in late '93 and released
	my first collection in October 93.

o2.  Do you know how many Ascii-productions have you released?
	I do actually ... it's a rather frightening number: 44 so far and
	I'm working on a new one as we speak.

o3.  What's so damn special with Ascii?
	Good question - argh - because it brightens up what would otherwise
	be a rather mundane bbs or file listing or production ... there's a
	lot of reasons but the REAL reason it's special is because I say so
	... ehrm ... no? Oh well :D

o4.  Have you got any special idols from the Ascii-scene?
	Yes I've got quite a few actually ...

	Mogue/Arclite     - An inspiration since I first started ascii
	U-Man/Arclite     - A great bloke and quality work
	Exocet/Arclite    - Just a bloody superb artist
	Relief/Twisted    - A huge inspiration to me and a good friend
	Desoto/Mo'Soul    - Just too good sometimes to be believed
	MarkRyder/Mo'Soul - For having more attitude than anyone else =D

o5.  What's your opinion about the Iff2Ascii-Art?
	Tough one ... I think that some people are using it purely because
	they think it's an easy way out of using a decent style, but other
	people really have mastered the art of it and used sparingly it can
	create a superb effect - Mortimer Twang/Bastard/Xcluziwe are three
	examples in my mind of people who can use it.

o6.  Are dot's more stylish than 'regular' Ascii?
	No but they can complement the ascii logos very well. It's all a
	matter of contrast and style I guess as well as personal opinion in
	abundance.

o7.  Do you read every single collection that is released today?
	Every single one I see I read and keep ... got over 70/80mb of
	ascii on my HD and fuck knows how many collections that amounts to.

o8.  Do you answer requests made to 'All Available Artists' ?
	Sometimes yes - sometimes no ... I'll answer that sort of question
	maybe one in a month and only if I respect that individual and
	think it'd be nice to see my stuff alongside theirs.

o9.  How should a request be written to be guarantied a answer from you?
	I like people to actually use more than the phrase "do me ascii
	now" because I hate neanderthal conversation ... if you're sending
	an email then be polite & pleasant and remember that if you are
	nice then the chances of getting a reply go up HIIIIGH.

1o.  Are there more Ascii-groups than there has to be?
	Ahaha ... yes ... get rid of SOS for a start =) Ehrm well I dunno
	it's a toughie that one ... I think there's more mediocre ascii
	groups than there needs to be, but on the other hand what is an
	ideal number of ascii groups?

11.  What do you think of the attitude in the Ascii-scene of today?
	I think there's a lot of bitching (i've done it too) and it's all
	great fun haha. The attitude is massively mixed ... some people
	consider themselves too good for everyone else and others are just
	spot on. I'd say there's a better ascii scene than the scene in the
	UK right at the moment.

12.  What do you think about the idea of having special magazines
     dedicated to the Ascii-scene?
	It's a great idea but it's gotta be supported to get anywhere.
	Ascii Gazette and ArtBomb are the only two that leap to mind.
	RoadHogz failed miserably because it wasn't done by artists.


13.  Is there a big difference between Old-skool Ascii and Ascii of today?
	Oldschool is a foundation that deserves respect on what they have
	achieved whereas ascii of today is constantly pushing to achieve a
	status where they will be respected. Ehrm I'll stop there before I
	move into a massive discussion type thing.

14.  Have you any special projects going on that will be released in a
     near future?
	Well I'm always working on an ascii collection at any given moment
	in time and at the moment I think I'm also working on a co-op with
	Ramone and a few other guys but don't know if thats still going on.

15.  What would you be doing instead of Ascii if you suddenly quitted?
	Hanging around on IRC channels like a lost little puppy :) The day
	I quit ascii is the the day that I sell my Amiga :)

16.  Do you have a horny snoop doggy dogg?
	No but I've had pussy galore.

                         - ---------------- -

Quite alot of artists have contributed with their opinions of the ascii-scene
by now. This aint personal interviews (any interest of such ones?) but just
a sheet to fill out by various artists. All interviews are designed by the
artists themself, adn thereby not 100% equal.
And this is a list of all the earlier victims since the very first issue of
the Ascii Gazette. They have all stated their opinions answering the very same
questions;
                     Fatal     - fTL    - Epsilon Design
                     Desoto    - dto    - Mo'Soul
                     Grimlock  - gm    - Epsilon Design
                     Behemoth  - bHm    - Style
                     Mazza     - mAZ!   - Art
                     Skize     - skZ    - ex-Whale
                     Dino      - dNo    - Jedi Arts
                     Nup       - nUp    - Mo'Soul
                     Relief    - rLf    - Twisted
                     Vietcong  - vC!    - O.m.a.
                     HiJack    - hJ     - Arclite
                     Ranx      - rX     - Jedi Arts
                     Red Demon - rDm    - Low Profile
                     Tango     - tG    - Twisted

                             Last Words
                         - ------------ -

You have been watching the text-edition of the  Ascii-Gazette. And I thank
you  for  spending time  with  all  these  information  about what we have
choosen to call Ascii. Sorry about  the once again delayed production, but
I guess that it might have been worth the waiting? Hope so anyway. I'm sad
to still see some pathetic comments about this  production being false and
untrue, without any examples at all. This Gazette is 100% facts-based, and
I can of cause not claim that  it's 100% correct. Who  can? It really aint
like I'm being FLOODED with facts about the scene. Most of it do I have to
find out by myself. So, if you now happen to have any problems  with some-
thing in this production, TELL ME, and it WILL be changed/updated. It aint
harder than  that. So  spare me them  negative  comments  about this Ascii
Gazette - it wont be any different from what You guys make it.

And many thanx to Anf for the classic first Ascii Gazette logo, and to the
(by me) reawaken  ascii-god Kamenski  of Upperclass  for the logo beneath.
