1. This month we're proud to include artwork from the "other side". In the section marked "5o" are the ansi's from iCE Europe: Spar, Wiz, Ranx, and Genesis who is the European Coordinator. All of the European ansi's are drawn in 5o line mode, what we refer to as "Squished Mode" (Even considered naming them ".SQU" :]) The [Euro] ansi's can be viewed with Masterview by pressing {right arrow}, or "M", and there is a .DAT file prepared with the names and descriptions of the [Euro] ansi's to make life easier. Their style might take some getting used to at first, but you'll soon realize their unique perspective on things. They've got some font ideas that knocked our socks off! Don't be to hasty to judge these guys by the size and standards of ANSi over here; ANSi is a relatively new concept in Europe, and this is the cream of the European crop.

2. iCE says goodbye to two good members this month: Amroth and The Magical Gangster. Good luck guys.

3. From two members departing, to two members joining: This month we welcome both Lepper Messiah and Danzig to full iCE member status. One month ago LP was doing only fonts... needless to say, we're impressed.

4. Along with his art and Courier Coordinating duties, this month marks the first in what will hopefully be many that Shihear Kallizad will be compiling the iCEPack. Hopefully this will take some of the pressure off the staff.

5. *NOTE* To All iCE Sites: If you are the sysop of an iCE Site, it is important for you to be aware that it's up to YOU to inform us if there is a problem with your courier. If you are not receiving the iCEPACK after a reasonable amount of time, make sure you let either the CC, or a Staff member know. If we could make rounds to check up on all the sites we would, but it's simply not feasable. In a similar note: We aren't able to talk to all the artists all the time either so, if you (as an iCE Artist or Member) have a problem or need something taken care of, or just want to keep in touch, please contact: Genesis, Metal Head, Ricochet, Shihear Kallizad, Sought After, The BBS Bouncer, or Tormented Soul. Any one of these people can handle your problem, keep you up to date on recent iCE events, or readily contact a staff member if it's warranted.

6. Articles are steadily being collected for the iCE Magazine. After the first issue is released, it's scheduled to come out about every three months. A monthly schedule was discussed but it didn't seem practical, first, the pressure would be immense, and second, we didn't feel there would be enough to report every month. The first issue will concern iCE, and consecutive issues will be more general with a section about iCE. While it isn't possible for everyone in the group to produce the magazine (the whole 'too many chiefs, not enough indians' thing), we're trying to include as many iCE members as possible and get as much input from them. Please leave any questions, suggestions, or articles on Hardwired, Sanctuary(tm), Rivendell (when it goes back up!!), or leave Felony Netmail to Tempus Thales or Shihear Kallizad.

7. Speaking of the Mag, we've included "SURVEY.ANS" in this Pack. If you have an opinion, and want to be represented in the mag, just fill this out it out and get it to one of the HQ's, or leave netmail to a staff member. (This is for anyone, btw.)

8. If there was an award for most improved iCE artist, it would almost unanimously go to Icy. His incredible progress can by charted by checking the past four iCEPACK's, two ansi's steadily every month and each month better than that last. Great job guy, but watch out for LP!

9. The VGA for Soul of the Hunter by Juice was released in .PCX format to prevent the incombatibility problems associated with coding hi-resolution pictures.

10. Looks like we had another month in the traditon of September, and November of '92, as well as January of '93. To quote Force Ten "We had a month and a half this month!". Since we seem to be going in two month cycles here, don't expect April to be anything close to this month.
