Soothsayer: Csar!
Csar: Ha! Who calls?
Casca: Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!
Csar: Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry Csar! Spear Csar is turnd to hear.
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.
Csar: What man is that?
Brutus: A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
Csar: Set him before me let me see his face.
Casca: Fellow, come from the throng look upon Csar.
Csar: What sayst thou to me now? speak once again.
Soothsayer: Beware the ides of March.
Csar: He is a dreamer let us leave him: pass.

Sarcasm Mistigris created god, and then like, let him think he was in control so he felt special.
Greetings and welcome to another exciting installation of the Mistigris
infofile, now with 85 less content and just as filling! This is Cthulu here,
president of Mistigris, and Im not going to shit you. A hell of a lot happenedthis month, and not all of it was good. Things have been shaking down, there
has been member movement, policy change, and general instability. However, I
think that the gory details can be saved for some distant future issue of Kithe,while as an audience you only have to worry about the new format of the pack.
So I will keep you from information that your own eyes and ears may be your solesources of information and we will discover whether the art stands on its own asa beacon shining out past the cesspool of politics we find ourselves drug into.
All that you have to worry about is that this is going to be the last
time you see some artists in mist packs, and the first time youll see others.
Csar: Et tu, Brute! Then fall, Csar.
Cinna: Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!
Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets.
Casca: Some to the common pulpits, and cry out
Liberty, freedom and enfranchisement!
Brutus: People and senators, be not afrighted
Fly not stand still: ambitions debt is paid.
A few policy changes are worthy of note here specifically as they may
affect and influence how you view our art or even which art you view after
much public clamour, Mistigris has made the decision internally to release its
packs in multiple archives - one for the music, one for the high-resolution and
one for low-resolution art formats Ansi, ascii, writing, and RIPScrip. This
way, the audience only has to download what they want while individual
departments dont have to worry about imposing on the others with size
constraints, etc. So if youve only grabbed one archive, please dont hesitate
in checking out the other two:
M-9803-A.ZIP for low resolution artworks
M-9803-B.ZIP for high resolution artworks
M-9803-C.ZIP for musical creations
M for Mistigris, then the year, month in accordance with alphabetical
order, then identification of part a, b or c.
In addition to this bureaucratic clean-up, the low resolution disk has
been also zipped with recursed directories, so if you unzip it -d, the files
will extract to their respective subdirectories /ANSI, /ASCII, etc... If the
archive is unzipped without the switch, it will expand normally.
Now that weve cleared up the fact that we didnt just give the boot to
two thirds of the group, the onus is on us to create and you to go out there andlook at the bloody stuff. So, well, enjoy!
Cthulu
Mistigris founder
Anthony: Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears
I come to bury Csar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them
The good is often interred with their bones
So let it be with Csar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Csar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Csar answerd it.
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest-
For Brutus is an honourable man
So are they all, all honourabe men -
Come I to speak in Caesars funera.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious
And Brutus is an honourable man.
He hath brought many captives home to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Csar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Csar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sternerr stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their erason. Bear with me
My heart is in the coffin there with Csar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
