[65C - July 1993
 [0;1;30m[A
[60C

[5C[0mWelcome to the first issue of TRiBE's own newsletter, TRiBAL [A
[66CWRiTES!  We
hope to bring this to you atleast once a month (probably in The Archi[A
[69Cve) where
we can keep you up to date on all the TRiBE News and Information that[A
[69C you may
not be getting elsewhere.  (WHAT!  You don't carry ToXiCNet yet?!)

[5CThe first thing we're going to tackle this month is something whi[A
[70Cch alot
of you people out there can't seem to get a grasp on, which is that T[A
[69CRiBE does
not have nor does it want Distribution Sites.  Why?  It's fairly simp[A
[69Cle.  TRiBE
is an ANSi/ART Group, not a Courier group.  We feel that it would tak[A
[69Ce valuable
time and effort away from this to be able to find, support and upkeep[A
[69C Official
Distribution Sites.

[5CFor this fact, we've gone out to whom we feel are the best in the[A
[70C field
of couriering, SWaT, who has been and will be Distributing The Archiv[A
[69Ce each
month to THIER SITES.  It's just more effecient for US to use the EXI[A
[69CSTING
system SWaT has in place for Couriering and Distribution instead of m[A
[69Caking up
our own and having to deal with it ourselves.

[5CSome people feel that Groups get support from Sites, but the fact[A
[70C is it
is the other way around.  Groups support boards.  You don't see SysOp[A
[69Cs going
out and getting thier own couriers and making sure they get thier own[A
[69C files,
as a whole.  They want to be a Site so they don't have to go do it th[A
[69Cemselves.
Anyone wanting to SUPPORT TRiBE by making our material available for [A
[69Cdownload
on thier boards, FEEL FREE.  It won't make you a SITE, nor make us in[A
[69C any way
responsable to do ANYthing in return for you.

[5CWhew.  Getting tired from repeating all this all the time.  ANYwa[A
[70Cy, the
next thing that people seem confused about is what TRiBE is all about[A
[69C.  Sure,
we love to hear from you guys saying how you like our stuff and you t[A
[69Chink its
as good as Group such and such or better than Group so and so, but it[A
[69C's not
anything we're after or trying for.

[5CWe're all out to avoid the pissing contests for bragging rights t[A
[70Chat the
"Big Two" seem so wrapped up in (and what most of us are in TRiBE to [A
[69Cget away
from, amoung other things).  We pretty much just try to smile and nod[A
[69C, be it
someone saying, "Damn!  You guys started with nothing and are better [A
[69Cthan iCE
now!  Congrats." or someone saying, "Fuck.  You guys can't draw worth[A
[69C a shit.
TRiBE reminds me of oMo or HoMo or whatever the fuck Tornado's group [A
[69Cwas.  He
can draw better than any of you.", because we're not doing this for p[A
[69Cublic
approval.  It's Fun and Money, buddy.  Deal with it.

[5CAlrighty!  Now that all that's out of the way, I can get to the F[A
[70CUN stuff.
This month saw some new members joining us.  The list includes Dead E[A
[69Cnd, Mystic
Knight, Dreamevil and Leper Messiah.  Stormblade also came aboard to [A
[69Chelp out
us ANSi guys whenever we want to put a Poem in the piece.

[5CYES.  TRiBE always welcomes people who want to join in the Fun an[A
[70Cd Money
making opertunities.  We don't have or need no stinking Applications,[A
[69C just
find a TRiBE Member, get him your stuff, and sooner or later we'll ge[A
[69Ct around
to getting in touch with you and talking to you all about it.  Since [A
[69Cwe only
really have Artists as members, we don't do that whole Recruitment BS[A
[69C.  You
won't find guys like Cetis and Cavalier in TRiBE who'll call you up a[A
[69Cnd bug
your ass until you join.

[5CWe'll just contact you and tell you about TRiBE and give you time[A
[70C to make
your OWN decision, and let it go at that, whatever it is.  TRiBE does[A
[69Cn't have
Trial Members.  You're in or your not.  Since TRiBE doesn't give a sh[A
[69Cit about
public opinion, we don't bother with a Quality Control system, you're[A
[69C either in
or your not.  We don't have Quotas and if you don't do anything we dr[A
[69Cop you off
the list like you don't exist.  Hell, we don't even bother with the p[A
[69Colitical
beuracracy of some kind of orginizational BS.

[5CAs you can see, there just isn't a group out there like us, wheth[A
[70Cer you
think the ideas and philosophies behind it are good or not.  SOME peo[A
[69Cple are
always quick to point out that other groups who've tried to run alitt[A
[69Cle bit
like TRiBE in the past have failed.  *I* would point out that *NO* gr[A
[69Coup has
ever tried to do EVERYTHING TRiBE has.  Sure, for example, Spectre di[A
[69Cdn't have
a Staff or other orginizational BS.  Then again, they were in the sam[A
[69Ce old
mold of and made up of people trying to keep in the same old cycle of[A
[69C trying
to be "Better Than" someone or other.

[5CThe Archive will be out each and every month, regardless of what [A
[70Ckind of
K we produce or the number of ANSis we produce.  The other smaller gr[A
[69Coups out
there, in thier attempt to compete with iCE and ACiD, they hold back [A
[69C3 and 4
months worth of material to release 3 or so times a year.  This would[A
[69C piss
*ME* off as an artist, if people only got to see my stuff upwards of [A
[69C3 months
after I release it.

[5CWell, I think I got enough of this stuff out for this month.  Hop[A
[70Cefully
next month we'll have some stuff from other members in here so I don'[A
[69Ct have
to yack about all this stuff that seems to get sooooooooo many people[A
[69C mad.
Let's hope so, eh?
