The 5th Kwest(ion?)
--------------------


        A brief item of interest. The author of this info file (at least, part
of it) is written by none other than meatpod, formerly of Serial Ascii. Why am
I writing this, you ask? I've never really been down with the K, nor do I plan
to be in the near future. I don't even like rap. However, I did feel like it
might be a trip, so here it is. A lot of things have happened in the scene
since the dispersal of Serial (which didn't happen for the reasons you think
it did, I assure you). Groups have sprung up, died, muchos shit has gone down,
my brothers. One thing that hasn't changed is that kW!a continues to release
quality shit. kWEST has always been a place where skilled artists gathered to
put out their work -- always original, laid-back but never limp, and strongly
opinionated. This month's pack is perhaps a little smaller than last months,
but don't let this fool you -- It's smooth shit, gets you right in the face. So
throw it up for cain and friends, united as kWEST.

* note from Cain, word up Jules. I'll take it from here.


        It's good to know, for me anyways, that Kwest is all about friendship.
Scene domination is easy enough for me to handle, but I don't want it. I don't
have enough support these days as it is. And the amount of people jacking on
me, is NUTS->Ie; Black Jack;  whatever, mr. Icandopicsbutbackgroundsandfontsare-abovemyskillasanasciiartist, why don't you 1) hit puberty 2) expand your skills
then we'll talk about you talking shit to me, ok?. Good. Tek, sorry for jacking
on you so hard, it's not as bad as I thought it was, my baad.


        I tried to form an ascii scene powerhouse, fuck that. A good many of youturned your back on me because I tried, and killed kwest without asking you,
and once it re-formed, you decided to stay gone. I know at least one person is
trying to stay with Kwest, big ups --> you know who you are. But as for the restof you, pfft; Do you have any respect for me? Kwest? Your homes in kwest stand,
forever.. but again, refer to the question.

        Quit dualling, it's annoying, I sit back and watch the ascii scene now
that I can just chill in Kwest, and as myself and The Don have discussed,
everyone in the ascii scene, is in every goddam group. Did anyone seen phunk!a?
yeah..every person in that group is in 6 groups, pfft.. Let's see some serious
competition here. Scrooe this scene unity your all trying for, get at each
others necks, rip into each other, start fights.. who cares? I would much
rather see that, then this sissy bullshit. I have to apologize for jumping all
over the place, but it's all just hitting me now as I write this up. The scene
is about group pride, where the hell is yours? KWESTSIIIIIIIIIDE.

        I should thank Sargon for being such a troublemaker; he had the scene
on it's fucking toes as long as Serial was alive. By the waay, big ups to all
you ex-serialers, I hated you, but I guess that is the point eh?. You see, the
basic point of this is; LET'S SEE SOME FUCKING ASCII. NOT POINTLESS BITCHING,
AND BITING, AND FAKING, AND JACKING, GET ORIGINAL, GET FUCKING NUTS. I've been
here for two years, I've kept it real, most of the people I affiliate myself
with keep it real, you do it *TOO*.

        It's easy. Every one person, pick a group that is 'competing' (odelay,
remorse, phunk.. WHATEVER) JOIN IT, (AND ONLY THAT GROUP) and release ascii
with them. BAM, we have an ascii scene back. The way I see it now, the scene is
in shambles. Kwest, however will remain neutral, and giggle at you until you
separate, and get some bloody competition. We are tired of seeing the same art
in every pack; get some flavour, get some style.. find some fucking pride.

Time for the news.
