    Hello ascii lovers worldwide !

    I am really sorry for the big delay, but the weather here is so
    lazy, so I am...;) But hey, here you go now !  Be ready to get
    the hottest news from March/April !

    TAC is avaible on Internet now from two places: on WWW.THUGLIFE.ORG
    they have all TAC issues for download, and also all TAC interviews
    are avaible separately. There will also be a TAC section on
    WWW.1OO-PERCENT.DE in next future.  Some day there will be for sure
    a pure TAC page.

    TAC's new email for letters, suggestions etc. is ASCIICHARTS@GMX.DE.
    Please don't use the old one. Please dont use my old personal emails
    as well, but use DIPSWITCH@GMX.DE !

    We still need a new logoset !  If you have the time and the skills,
    please do following logos: EDITORIAL, NEWS, LETTERS, REVIEWS,
    INTERVIEWS, RELEASE LIST, CHARTS, MOST POPULAR GUESTS. But please do
    no single logos but just all, because we don't want to use several
    different looking logos.

    This issue inholds an absolutely new feature: the "Most Popular Guest"
    charts. It shows who have had the most intensive guest apperience
    rate in '2k till now. It shows, imho, how popular an artist really
    is nowadays, and, besides voting, it's the most true way to find it out,
    because the so-called "Respect" lists in collies are without value
    nowadays. Even more people put just their friend in them, but not
    the most skilled people.

    Have fun !

    Dipswitch (main editor)

    Following things happened in ascii scene from 1.3. untill 30.4.2000:


    · NasOne (Mimic) joined Aerosol.

    · Dwarf left Impure and Hazmat and joined Mimic.

    · Acid Slam BBS (op: Digiman/TRSi) became the new German HQ of Aerosol.

    · Bull and Noches joined Link 124.

    · Far and X-Ball are the new official leaders of Sative Mea, after
      Azzaro quitted it for Link 124.

    · According to the Inhale memberlisting in IH-MACGY.TXT Flower
      (ex-Cyberkid/KTS) joined them.

    · Dartagnan took over the leadership of Twisted.

    · Dartagnan joined Mimic aswell.

    · At Mekka'Symposium 2k there was a meeting between Dipswitch/DTR
      and Azzaro/L124. They boozed together alot %) and of course made
      peace on their old quarrels concerning TAC. Azzaro, hope to see
      you on Evoke'2k !!!

    · Szwagier was kicked out of Killkrazed.

    · The Amiga/Ascii/Cnet group 1oo% has an own homepage now under the
      url WWW.1OO-PERCENT.DE

    · And, last not least, on 6.5.2000 Dartagnan/Twisted became father.
      According to a topic on #ascii/ircnet his child is called Dade, and
      her measures at time of birth were 9'12 & 1/2 pounds. Best wishes,
      Dtn !  Another ascii daddy after H2o and Crazy... Maybe some more
      asciiers will become daddies in next future ? Who knows...

      Here's one quote from Azzaro's colly L124-DRH.TXT about my comment
      on his coop with KRS:

> i just take a deeper look at new reborned "the ascii charts" and
> want to say - it`s great. those fixed tabels and point rules make
> whole charts more clearly imho. answering your words, dipswitch - yes, me
> and krs want to see what other people can do with our letters - it`s more
> funny to see the  different points of view how to design a whole logo
> just from base letters.  and please belive in those guys - there are not
> only lamers who want to fucks up whole logo and design. it`s also something
> new and fresh and try to release a collection like that both of us are fully
> sattisfied by giving people some fun in those hard days..
> also congratulations & best wishes about working hard on "t.a.c."
> series again.

     · There are two charts going on parallel: the Quantity Charts and
       the Quality Charts.

     · Any appierence of a group in form of a file counts 1 (one) point
       in the Quantity Charts.

     · A novelty is the Quality point system. A colly can get maximal 40
       points:
               · 1 to 10 points for logo style
               · 1 to 10 points for logo design
               · 1 to 10 points for colly outlook

               · Innovation Bonus (5 points)
               · English-Text Bonus: Min. ca. 1/2 of the colly text
                 is written in English (5 points)

               · File_id.Diz Error Nuke: File_id.Diz is whether too
                 wide (over 44 chars) or wrong declared (-5 points)
               · Serious Rip Nuke: If it can be 100%-ly prooved that
                 the artist rips letters or design elements of someone
                 else's work, the whole quality points will be set to
                 zero.

               · Every rating and comment is the individual opinion of
                 the reviewer. No TAC staff member can be
                 made responsible for other staff members' opinion.

| western ascii crew. His only problem, which I have noticed in nearly every  |
| colly, is: he always fucks up while doing the file_id for the colly. Either |
| it is to wide, or, as in this case, it is false declared. X-Ball, please    |
| understand: for a mailswapper it might be equal if a textfile has a built-  |
| in file_id or not, for the bbs scene it is VERY important so that infor-    |
| mation about your colly can be displayed in the filelister of a BBS. Please |

| contains no design, nine logos and a tiny | File_id Error Nuke -5 [.]       |
| piece of  text at the  beginning which is |                                 |
| some kind of  respect  list. Not  exactly | [.] Plain Texfile               |
| much to review. Anyway, as  you can see I |      (no points given)          |
| have given  his colly  design a massive 0 |                                 |
| out of 10. Simply down to  the fact there | Total Points: 10 of 40          |
| is  none. Well  his   logos  look  rather +---------------------------------+
| scrappy  and  sometimes quite ugly. A few |    · Scored & Reviewed by ·     |
| of  his letters  give  me promise he does |         Darkus/Aerosol          |
| have the talent to  draw good logos or on +---------------------------------+
| the  other  hand, maybe not. There wasnt enough for me  to  get a very good |
| reading of his logo design skills. However  judging on what he did for this |
| collection it seems pretty minimal and unactractive. Well before I cut this |
| review, something he wrote at  the beginning of his text  file which I must |
| point out... "1993-2000 and still kicking" Now  if this piece of text which |
| he  released is a sign of someone "still kicking" I guess I  must have lost |
| the meaning of the word. I dont understand how people can use  there age in |
| the ascii scene as an excuse to release shite.                              |

| A  very nice suprise in  the latest colly | English-Text Bonus +5 [x]       |

| work  from boheme/style but not enough to |         Darkus/Aerosol          |
| be labelled a  ripper! Generally Avengers +---------------------------------+
| logos are quite exciting to look at, with his  ability to draw random sized |
| and  shaped  letters  together  in  one  word. Most  logos  contain  little |
| background design, but the  small pieces of  design he adds compliments his |
| logos well. His colly design seems to be a little on the weak side. However |
| the  design I found  around  certain parts of  the  intro and end parts was |
| attractive and  well drawn. My ending words  to Avenger are simple, keep up |
| the good work and loose the one or two letters which are close to Boheme`s. |

| Such amazing design I have seen from De-  |          Dipswitch/DTR          |
| soto the last time. H7 takes his skills   +---------------------------------+
| he built up in PC "newschool" ascii scene and does handbuilt design some    |
| amiga artists only can dream about even using iff2ascii tools. It is abso-  |
| lutely amazing what H7 does with the hi-chars and the X's. The way he       |

| agree with me or not !  A MUST-LEECH !!!                                    |
| Unfortunately the logos sometimes lack some design, and perhaps H7 could    |
| bring some cute design elements every 10 logos or something, to make the    |
| logo part a little bit less boring. But the Intro/Outro design compensions  |

| Finally a colly with BBS logos again !    | File_id Error Nuke -5 [.]       |
| Haven't seen that since ages... Although  |                                 |
| the colly is, as the intro says, 2 1/2    | [.] Plain Textfile              |
| years old, I'm sure every sysop will find |      (no points given)          |
| some decent logos for his bbs in there.   |                                 |
| Unfortunately, the quality of the logos   | Total Points: 19 of 40          |
| is not always constant, but don't forget  +---------------------------------+
| the colly is *very* old and many artists  |    · Scored & Reviewed by ·     |
| got better since then. But nevertheless,  |          Dipswitch/DTR          |
| I'll try to resume what I've seen...      +---------------------------------+
| The design of the colly is average, but clean and ok. Brane's logos look    |
| the most newbie-like in this colly. Perhaps they are from his newbie-phase, |
| I don't know, but most of them look pretty weak and lack any design. Arle-  |
| quins logos are partly really amazing. Some of them are really hard to      |
| read, but - as Artcore used to say - "100% unreadable, but pure style"" =)  |
| Volatile's logos are also very cool to watch - I didn't notice earlier that |
| he had such a nice style 2 years ago... Dataflower is kinda weak again -    |
| perhaps not that weak, but absolutely not my taste. Well, below you see     |
| examples of all four, just look and decide yourself. But just for the fact  |
| that it's a BBS style colly, Phunk deserves a big hug from us BBS-freaks !  |

| I' really in doubt if this production was | File_id Error Nuke -5 [.]       |

| move straight to  the  review. The  colly | Total Points: 15 of 40          |
| itself  features  minimal  design. Infact +---------------------------------+
| one could say there is no design. However |    · Scored & Reviewed by ·     |
| looking  at it more  positively, what the |         Darkus/Aerosol          |
| colly does  feature is  great logos  from +---------------------------------+
| some  great names  from the past. Scarface, Relief and Tango just to name a |
| few from the mostly dead  Twisted memberslist. Dartagnan`s logos within his |
| requests, have stayed faithful to the past making it rather unique. However |
| through  my eyes his  style just doesn`t  make it today. His logo design is |
| maybe  the weakest  of his  work. His letters  and  words  which  look like |
| iff2ascii are really quite dreadful. Giving his logos an overall messy look |
| The main upside to his ascii work seems to be he`s effective using dots for |
| his logos and  logo design. Something I  feel gives him that  extra push in |
| his overall ratings.                                                        |

| My first atempt at reviewing a colly from |   Innovation Bonus +5 [.]       |
| my good  friend, the  well  known Finnish | English-Text Bonus +5 [x]       |
| Inhale    star,   Abhorrence.  Lets   get | File_id Error Nuke -5 [.]       |
| straight to it. Firstly, the intro design |                                 |
| has been given a seven out of ten rating. | [.] Plain Textfile              |
| It is what I  would call top class design |      (no points given)          |
| but  due to the  shortness  of the  intro |                                 |
| I couldnt give anything higher for it. In | Total Points: 29 of 40          |
| his  intro, we have a  very  complex  and +---------------------------------+
| filled  design which is  pleasing  to the |    · Scored & Reviewed by ·     |
| eye. Just a small tip to him  would be to |         Darkus/Aerosol          |
| increase the size of his intro parts! And +---------------------------------+
| a higher rating  is easily  achiveable! Following through his collection we |
| have 29 logos, most of which are very well drawn and feature amazing design |
| And  to be  honest, I think  his logo design skills  are ranked amongst the |
| best of  any  ascii era. So a straight ten  out of ten for that. His actual |
| letter drawing skills ranked at  seven out of ten are quite unique. Some of |
| his letters can be hard to read, but it`s quite a joy to figure the letters |
| out. As once you can  see how each letter is ment to look, it becomes clear |
| Abhorrence  is a very talented  artist. One of a few in todays ascii scene. |
| The end part of his colly is again very nicely designed, only too short!    |

NOTE: In the interview the word "oldschool" is used several times. It
is used at its meaning in the pc asciiscene, meaning just "Amiga-style
ascii". "Newschool" means the PC-typical asciis with "$"- and other chars.

DIPSWITCH: Tell me about yourself !

VOLATILE:
  well my name is peleg i'm 19 years old, i serve in the israeli army (two
  years left, yay!), i've been known in the scene first as human vox
  (early 96) than as volatile hamster (don't even ask) and after awhile
  i dropped the hamster and just stayed volatile =).

DIPSWITCH: What was developement of your ascii career till now ?

VOLATILE:
  well, when i first started to draw ascii, i was basiclly a pc artist
  who used aciddraw with a pc font, after awhile i started drawing my
  shit on 80x50 mode instead on the normal mode, that made me change
  my letter style to something smaller, my mate squish always tried to
  talk me into using afs.com (amiga font simulator) and at start
  i thought it was a bad idea, but after couple of tries i realy got into
  it. i guess you can say i had alot of style changes, some was for the
  bad, some was for the worset, i do think i made major developement since
  i started doing this ish.

DIPSWITCH: When you drove your first ascii ?

VOLATILE:
  i started fooling around with ascii sometime around 95' but i started
  my real ascii career at early 96', back when i was still known as human
  vox, i had alot of help and feedback from necromancer (ex-leader & founder
  of the pc group remorse) even though i sucked realy bad back than he
  told me something i tell new artists all the time - "keep practicing and
  you'll be good" i do belive that art is a learning skill like everything
  else, sure emotional art needs more than your regular skill, it need its
  special touch. but as for oldschool i think the longer you draw and exprien
  the better you develop yourself.

DIPSWITCH:
  Your collies are floating through Amiga boards, but as I know
  you were part of the PC "oldschool ascii" scene from your start.
  Do you nevertheless feel yourself as a part of the Amiga scene
  through your artform ?  Do you deal with the Amiga scene besides
  ascii ?


VOLATILE:
  well since i started my romance with amiga ascii it has taken a part of my
  time no less worth to the time i put on the pc scene, for me both scenes
  at the bubbling time (when pc group serial had fueds with every group around)
  i enjoyed quiet moments in the amiga scene #ascii channel (ircnet)
  when i also enjoyed my competetive motion in the pc scene that lacked from
  the amiga scene. i consider myself a complete amiga artist this days, my
  style, my influences are all amiga, my machine is pc sure, but i consider
  myself an amiga artist definitly.
  as for other aspects of the amiga scene, i don't take much part of other
  parts since the deased scene of israel was all pc, and i never even
  had an amiga :)

DIPSWITCH:
  Why you have chosen Amiga ascii and not pc(block or $-Style)-Ascii/Ansi
  or pixel gfx as your artform ?

VOLATILE:
  well basiclly because nothing attracted me like ascii, i can't tell you
  the reason, i have tried ansi and $ style ascii but i just didn't had
  the patiance, it takes alot more time than to draw an oldschool logo :D

DIPSWITCH:
  What are, in your opinion, the advantages and disadvantages of the
  PC-scene style of releasing (big archives with single logos instead
  of collys) ?

VOLATILE:
  i personally think it depends on the form of art, oldschool ascii (amiga
  kind of ascii) should be in a colly or at least some kind of cluster if
  its like 5+ logos, but if your talking on less than that, the advantage
  of archives is you don't have to have like... 15+ logos to show a sign
  your alive, or to wait 6 months till you have enough ascii.

DIPSWITCH:
  There were times (around 1998, as I remember) when some pc-"oldschool"-
  asciiers (some guys from Noname, am I right?) made joke-collies about
  you being "oh-so-amiga", while, in fact, you had more clue of Amiga-
  style ascii than them. I just have this collies in memory... At the same
  time you were almost unknown in the real Amiga ascii scene. What did
  motivate you, in that difficult time, to move on and develope your-
  self ?

VOLATILE:
  well personally i had support from lots of people around both scene at
  the time. i was an easy pick for some guys back than since my english
  was horrible and i was easy to upset, my biggest fued with an artist
  named mjay. who has made two hate/joke collies about me, he accused me
  in ripping mogue, a thing that was so far of reach. and tried to knock
  me out of some groups, by making deals with them that if he joins they
  will kick me. he had big fame back than, and i was considered mediocre
  so they were nasty and kicked me. and than he would quit the group and
  they were to beg me to stay, i won't mention names but it was a rotten
  move. anyway the only thing that left me in this game back than was the
  support of couple of people including nmancer, c4nn, horizon, folar and
  some others i don't remember (sorry mates been awhile).
  sure it helped me develop, i was intrested back than in fame and respect.
  and that feuds changed my prespective, i said fuck that i'm here for the
  ascii, if people likes it than its good. but that shouldn't be my motivation
  so it has proven its success :D

DIPSWITCH:
  Tell us the story of your group "Phunk" !

VOLATILE:
  well phunk started on 96' but it was planned than to be a all forms of art
  kind of group (ansi, ascii, gfx), but than i decided its gonna be a
  oldschool only kind of group, in the start we released a package of collies
  made by squish, me and...  uhhhhhh arlequin i think, but after releasing
  the pack i got an idea, to unite the best artists of both scenes in
  one group, and than the real phunk was born. in the years we had alot
  of members who today shines el nino (back than dataflower), brane, native,
  el talo and arl. not to forget the loyal and valuble member i hear from
  once a year don rappelo :D.
  phunk was unite than into wax a pc group, but when wax died phunk continued.

DIPSWITCH:
  Now you managed to land in Low Profile. How did it occure ?

VOLATILE:
  well i tried to apply once but i was told they waren't accepting new members
  than after awhile rdm decided the group needs some fresh blood so when daeron
  joined. i tried again and was accepted.

DIPSWITCH:
  Do you think it is important for ascii logos to be more readable ?

VOLATILE:
  well as one who his oldschool is sometimes considered unreadble i guess
  it depends, my shit is pretty readble for me, but than again i can even
  read most newbie ascii and some artists never had troubles reading my
  own :D, but it realy narrows down to style, if a newbie makes an ascii
  and its unreadble and has no certien skilled style to it, than i think
  its bad, but if a skilled artist who knows what he's doing tries to be
  more stylistic and risk is readbility for that. than i think its fine :D

DIPSWITCH:
  Who are your alltime-favourite artists ?

VOLATILE:
  well thats an hard question, i guess desoto, chrombacher, tango, horizon,
  crusader and uhhh many more, i just can't list like 20 people, those are
  my top all-time fav's.

DIPSWITCH:
  What do you think about the relationship between ascii and bbs's ?
  Can the one survive without the other ?

VOLATILE:
  well i think it can, the pc scene is the proof, since bbs's has pretty
  much died, sure its not as good as it was. but its still ticking and
  thats something, but i think only time can tell...

DIPSWITCH:
  You live in Israel. Are you the only one Amiga-ascii artist there
  or are there some other hidden talents on that platform ?

VOLATILE:
  well i realy think squish was a good amiga artist (he was in pk's group
  afluance design), as for amiga i'm sure i'm the only one.
  as for pc newschool, theres a couple of artists but not as many as were
  in the past.

DIPSWITCH:
  What are the words of wisdom you would say to a newbie starting with
  Amiga-style ascii, especially if he is PC-based ?

VOLATILE:
  keep practicing, don't give up, the amiga scene is not like pc scene.
  there aint realy something like a realy easy start, being a good artist
  needs credibility, and the name of the game in making a name for yourself
  is keep at it, and your there.

DIPSWITCH:
  Wanna greet somebody ?

VOLATILE:
  well all my friends, you know who you are, if you don't ask me :)
  for anyone who enjoys my ascii, i realy give respects to you :)
  and you dipswitch, and make sure to release tac already :)

DIPSWITCH:
  THX for the interview !

       The points for the quality charts are calculated through the
       following formula: (all points the group gained through reviews)
       divided through (count of collys they released). So the average
       point account for the group is calculated. But remember:
       the review points are just an opinion of the reviewer !
       Announcement/Infofiles are NOT counted !
       Doing this chart included hardcore calculations. If I did a
       mistake in the calculation, please forgive me !
       BTW: AQP means "Average Quality Points" !
