Surprise. Anemia did release, and we're still on the scene. I might as well explain the story of our supposed "death" here to avoid explaining it countless more times on irc than I already have. As most of you know, Essbee left the scene after the January 1996 pack was released. He left Pixel Pusher and Cheeze Monkey in charge. Cheeze Monkey quit, and Tsk was the Vice President or something like that. Nothing was really very definite as to who was in charge after Essbee left and a bunch of rumors went flying around because there was very poor group communication, and nobody to clear up the rumors. Anyway, Tsk thought it would be cool to help out his new group Think, so he merged Anemia into it. Since Tsk wasn't even the leader of Anemia it didn't really make sense that he would try something as stupid as that. He did anyway, and I heard that he was planning on doing it before he did. I called Essbee on the phone right after I found out about it, and we planned Anemia's comeback to the scene. We decided that we wouldn't stop Tsk from merging Anemia because Anemia had already fallen far below the level of quality that it should be at. We thought that this would actually help us because it would cut the numbers of members down considerably. We were pretty sure that there were some loyal members of Anemia who would help us make it better than ever. We didn't know how to contact a lot of the members, and there were a lot that we didn't want want to contact to rejoin Anemia until after this pack was released. Anemia started out as a local group in 206, so I contacted all of those members who have regularly contributed to Anemia before to rejoin first. Essbee never did come back as planned, and says that he never will. I tend to doubt that he will never come back, but he still claims he won't. Just in case you didn't know, Think was renamed Cancer. The Cancer pack basically blew chode, but what do you expect with a dedicated leader like Whitetrash? Cancer died after their first pack. Then WT revived the group, then they died again, and I'm not sure exactly how many times they've died since. :) The New, Improved Anemia Essbee told me that I could run Anemia now that it's back, and he's not around to do it anymore. The quality control will be much tougher than ever before, and we won't be accepting nearly as many people. I encourage former members to reapply, but just because you were a member before doesn't mean that you'll be accepted again. I put Virt on the list as the VP, and I may give the leadership of Anemia away to him, or someone else in the next few months if I feel that they can do a good job, and stay dedicated to the group. April 1996 This month's pack is by far the best that has ever been released by Anemia. Thanks to CatBones for being the stud that he is, and unselfishly contributing to the pack. He didn't even ask for anything in return. :) Also thanks to every other Anemia member who contributed, great job. Mung is working on setting up the Anemia web page. It's still in the early stages, and is under construction. You're welcome to check it out though at: http://weber.u.washington.edu/~punchy If you have any questions, comments, complaints, or whatever about Anemia, mail them to coug@zipnet.com. That address may change in a couple of weeks, but you can contact Virt, or I on irc anytime. :) - Coug SAUCE00Anemia 04/96 Information Anemia Staff .;:Anemia:;. 19960407¡P
