        The name came about a  few months ago. Kwestphunk  was a specific style
used by myself and a few friends, it was like, our  kwestphunk styled ascii was
our  double edge  sword, I mean we had many  different styles, mostly  internal
technique, copyrighted by the artist, one would use a different size, one would
use a  neat swirl. It was all around a completely elegant style. So I just used
it synonymously and metaphorically, and mixed them  together..I feel no one can
mess with our skills  graphically, because our  double edge sword is  to large.
i hoped for it to be unmatchable, and invincible..and so, from the root idea of
Kwestphunk, I pulled kWEST!. I, Cain, am considered to be the founder.

               It's like a family..
               It's like a clan..
               It's like a unit..
               It's like we're the ascii congress..
               And it's like; We'll delegate a lot of plans to show, and
               prove to the nation, that we're powerful with what we're
               dealing with..
               And when you deal with 19 brothers, its like dealing with 19
               planets, and at the same time; This is our universe kid!,
               and we're gonna keep shining daily..

        To  trace the  beginning of the group is actually hard...we always hung
around each other, but never  really identified ourselves  as kWEST!,  we we're
always split up in different groups..mainly remorse81 and noname!a,  most of us
always drew together at one point, but didn't know each  other to well. Some of
us live in the same country, thats about it. We we're all  connected one way or
another. Personally me, Cain, I'm the common denominator to everybody in kWEST!
..you see they all definately  knew me, if they didn't  know each  other,  they
definately knew me.

         That's kind of how the idea came about, they all know me quite well..
so what could stop us from joining together  as a group of friends, to  release
quality ascii?..well, obviously nothing is in the way, we don't need to compete
with anyone, we're not here for that..quality ascii is the idea, and that's how
it'll  be. KWEST IS HERE  FOREVER,  MOTHER FUCKER..not  as competition, we dont
specifically care for it as others do, although..we stick up for our name,  and
what we're about..if it does come to crushing some poor box of cereal, we will.

        I seem  labelled as a  mischievous little  ascii buff, so wrong. I went
through  that stage with noname, and kWEST! is higher form of life  compared to
noname. I simply realized that competition is irrelevant and useless to  how me
and my friends would do our thing. We don't need to prove a damn thing, but, as
I said before, we will if we feel threatened.

        You can stereotype us as what you want. But, kWEST! is ascii. I said it
was a group of friends, and it is. I said it wasn't a group, but theoretically,
it is. It all comes  down to how  YOU look  at us.  So, in closing, take us for
what you want, we know exactly what we are, do you?

        There are few ascii groups  in the scene today, that  actually  deserve
the respect  they get. Why do these groups get kWEST's props? ..simply  because
they we're always a little better then the rest, they influenced me, or in this
case, US at one point or another. And,  as I said, the amount of influence, can
greatly  involve  the scene  around them..in the  group at  hand. Consider that
when you read the following greets, and the reasons:

      - First, and foremost..pMk, for PC ascii as we know it today.
      - The kTS!A crew, without you, acsii wouldn't be what it is today, and
        a large strings of groups would have never been formed.
      - The original Remorse ascii crew, for their influence on the PC ascii
        scene, you spawned a lot of funkyass shit, thanks.
      - The infamous Trank Ascii, for some of the most amazing ascii EVER
        released..and for flexxing the rule of survival of the fittest.
      - Asciid, what can I say? some of the best, all clumped up together in
        weird style of release..original, fat, with a p!
      - s0ap asCii, for the most revolutionary new school ever to be released,
        no one did it quite like us, and we can hold tREW tO dAT.
      - The Remorse 1981 clique! for keeping it real, don't go anywhere, the
        establishment is one of the best, if not the best.
      - Noname Ascii, not to be cocky and arrogant, but it meant a lot to me,
        and a lot to everyone else who viewed.
    ----------
      - Sargon, don't get me wrong. I respect Serial..except it has yet to
        influence me, let alone shock me. Hang tough, bitch.
      - Blindman, I love(d) Basic like my brother, except the above applies
        here to. The shit will come together, I know that.

        Kwest is a redefining group of ascii artists. It features the best from
both schools of  ascii. When I say the  best, I mean it! so I think  it's vital
that the scene recognizes who this tribe called kwest is:

  - When you see Acid Jack, courtesy of 1981, throw up a K!
  - When you see Baltazar, throw up a K!
  - When you see Black Knight, throw up a K!
  - When you see Blindman, throw up a K!
  - When you see Cain, throw up a K!
  - When you see Discyple, throw up a K!
  - When you see Discofunk, throw up a K!
  - When you see Endless Nameless, throw up a K!
  - When you see Haji, throw up a K!
  - When you see Mass Murderer, throw up a K!
  - When you see Necromancer, courtesy of 1981, throw up a K!
  - When you see OmicroN, courtesy of 1981, throw up a K!
  - When you see Pariah, courtesy of 1981(?), throw up a K!
  - When you see Polypropz/morph, throw up a K, and kick him in the ass =)
  - When you see theProdigy, throw up a K!
  - When you see Purify, throw up a K!
  - When you see Seraphim, throw up a K, and wish him goodbye.
  - When you see The Masked Marauder, throw up a K!



        So, in  closing, I'd like to  thank all of you for viewing kwest 2, the
legacy does continue. I'd like to thank all the guests in the pack; aXB, aCk, &
a  few others, whoever  they are =). And  well, we'll see  you in  kwest three.
KwestWard Ho! they said.
