TUTORIAL TIME !!!
ow yeah, your favourite part of the pack has just arrived : nightstalkers
tutorial series. today we are going to talk to you about writing skills.
writing is not difficult !! but you must remember crucial points when making
an infofile !!! ill give you examples of how it shouldnt and ill show
you how to correct it.
im not going to complain about typing errors, but structural stuff.
as an example im going to use an infofile of a group i wont mention. so all
names of sceners and group are made unrecognisable by putting question marks.
ERROR 1 :
this is the first error ! read the following bit very carefully !!!
group. Because most other members got bored with ?riloxy too,
they left, so these are pretty chaotic times for Trilox?, ?F
gave me the coordination of the vga-artists, but didnt supply
me with the info concerning the vga-members from that time, I
decided to kick every vga-artist and to keep those who kept
in contact with me, so the memberlist is gonna be a short one.
believe it or not, but this is actually 1 one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sentence.
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR too long!!!a good way to correct it is by putting dots at following places :
so these are pretty chaotic times for Trilox?.
concerning the vga-members from that time. therefore I decided ....
this was simple, was it ?
on to the next error...
ERROR 2 :
What happened the last half year...
Well a fucking lot: In July we attended Wired97, where
?yclops got 10th place in the pixel-compo and 9th place
in the raytrace compo.
In September we attended Bizarre97. Cy?lops got 1st place
in the pixel-compo and 4th place in raytrace compo.
At the end of October ?yclops went to Saturne 5 with
Itsar? and Ku?t/Gree?. The party was a disaster: 1 major
---- hhahaha kut !!!!!! dutch joke!
powerfailure, so nothing happened there.
In November W?ld Th?ngs Wired97-Bizarre97 report,
featuring code by Infinit? Rebo?t, Gfx Design by Cyclop?
and music by ?08, got released after much delay. So check
it out and discover the Trilo?y crew in action.
A couple of days after the release of this report Speed-
frea? left ?riloxy and took most of the artist with him
to start a new group. Thora? also decided to make his
music division a seperate group, what will happen to the
coding division is still unknown, so the future of Trilox?
is still an uncertain one.
there are two things wrong here !!!
first: about every sentence contains the name of a scener notice ?s.
most of the time its even the same person !! cycl?ps
this could be avoided by using things like : that same person ...,
that very same cool guy or even more simple : HE !
second: in your info file, try to be as precise as you can be !!! Cyclop?
mentioned all the parties he had gone to, except lowres 97.
why? simple : he got last ATB RULED OVER Tr?loxy at that party !!
PS: i dont want to rub it in your face anymore that i got 3rd ...
mmm, fuckit : i got third hahahahahahahahahahaha : :-, -, , raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, gggggggggggggggggggggg hihihi
on to the next error ....
ERROR 3 :
So you want to apply as a gfx-artist?
Then there are some things you have to know:
First: mail some of youre stuff and youre info to me
Cy?lopstri?oxy@hotmail.com. We will then judge if youre
in or not. Those Photoshop-Logo-Artists dont bother We
wont accept you unless you show some real skill handling
the brush in photoshop and you can produce art without
the use of those fucking filters.
----- little note : look at the previous sentence, then read it
again and look for dots or commas ! you didnt find any ?
take a look at error 1 if you dont know what to do next !
Second: Youll have to send me at least 1 picture every 2
months, you can miss a pack if youve got a good reason
but if you miss a second pack youre out!
third: If you enter a compo, we want the original compo-
version with signature, dont make any modifications
afterwards, also mention the party and youre ranking.
Finally: If we notice that one of our members is ripping
from other artists, he gets kicked no exceptions!
okay, this is a version of error 2 ! cyclop? says :
If you enter a compo, we want the original compo-
version with signature, dont make any modifications
afterwards, also mention the party and youre ranking.
he altered his own lowres picture, therefore he made modifications afterwards!ofcourse he didnt mention the party and the place he got in the infofile ...
he got last, thorax/atb ended 4th and i nightstalker ended 3rd
his picture was C?-WANDA.LBM, go see it in the trilox?-pack !
mmm, yeah : explain the following sentence : he gets kicked no exceptions! :!ill give you a hint : he gets kicked,no exceptions!
NOT REALLY AN ERROR BUT COOL !!!
Greets:
All former Tril?xy members: To bad it didnt work out.
?uel: our broters in arms.
R?velation: Cool terminal part in milkshake, loved it.
?tsari: Keep those demos coming, put belgium on the map!
?reen: same for you guyz: more demos, more BS?
- ATB: Keep up the boozing and keep on releasing crap!
Qua?: Flipping number 1 Dutchies!
Those we forgot: sorry, the chaotic situation in T?iloxy
at the moment has caused us to forget most groups and we
appologize for this.
this part i like :
SOMETHING TO END WITH :
take a look at this:
If you have questions about vga mail ?yclops -- original
If you have questions about vga mail -- how i understood it :
If you have questions about vga,mail Cyclop? -- correction of the mistake
The end?
C?clops. ?riloxy 11/97
THE END.
i hope you all have learned something from this. ofcourse, such crappy
newsletters occur only with beginning groups, so dont worry too much :
PS: if you could understand the names of the sceners or groups, its not
my fucking fault !!!! you are just a buttfox0r in that case
