ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ The Truth About Renaissance ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ I originally had intended to write something like this for our next release, but it seems that some lamer wanted to be as K00L and K-Rad as can be and release their own lame file claiming they were me. Before I go on, a message for the lamer who wrote REN-DEAD.TXT: Get a life you loser. You didn't even SPELL THE NAME RIGHT, ASS-MUNCH! ÚÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄ¿ ³þþÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´þþ³ ÃÄÄÙ OFFICIAL ÀÄÄ´ ³ RELEASE ³ ³ ³ ³ The Final Word ³ Hahahaha... Duh -----> ³ on Rennaissance ³ ³ - Charles S. ³ ÃÄÄ¿ ÚÄÄ´ ³þþÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´þþ³ ÀÄÄÙ ÀÄÄÙ So, lets set aside that lame piece of work and go to the real topic of this text file, Renaissance (with 1 "n"). I don't think I've ever seen so many rumors floating around about a group before. So lets answer a few of the questions here for you. Q: Is Renaissance dead? A: Most certainly NOT. Renaissance may have temporarily dropped out of the demo-making scene, but we are not just sitting around doing nothing. StarScream and I both have school as well as something called a LIFE. Obviously the lame people don't have one, so they don't understand that there are other things to do at this age than code all day. I am sure that those of you who are cool or even just normal understand the situation quite well. When the time comes for us, we will start making demos again. For now, you will just have to accept the fact that we are busy with other things (which include: school, life, girls, outside coding projects, etc.) Don't get the idea that we have abandoned the demo scene, because we haven't. We just need to take care of more important business first. Q: Why did Tran quit? A: Tran's quitting from the group was not a forceful departure, or even an argument by anyone. It was just the thing he had to do in order to pursue his career. We still talk regularly, and meet often. Now there are also those who constantly say "the group is dead without Tran". Well, why don't you wake up? If you hadn't noticed, the last thing that Tran released before leaving was Zone 66. That was done over a year before he left. When he left us, he hadn't released anything in over a year. The only coders really doing anything at the time were CyberStrike, White Shadow, Zeek, and myself. Tran is a cool coder, but we can live without him. Q: Why did the other coders leave? A: This is a tough question to answer without offending any of my friends, but I will try my best. I think it was a combination of money and lack of time. Heck, if Tran could take off and make money, why are we wasting our time doing things for free? They also all wanted to make some money, which I guess they felt to be more important. They didn't really have the time or dedication for the group that I or some of the other original Renaissance members had, so I really can't blame them. I also tend to think that they left because they didn't want to be alone without Tran, but again I really don't want to say much more. Q: Is it true that nobody else in the group is doing anything? A: Everyone in the group is busy with something of their own. The artists are working on games, the musicians are doing independant projects, and most of us have school and/or work too. Q: What and when will be the next release? A: Our next release should be the long-overdue music disk, which I plan to release this month (January '94). I don't even want to get into the story of why it hasn't yet been released, as that would be too long for this short text file. It will be out. Period. Whether it be January, or early February I am releasing it soon. Q: Is the Sound Barrier down? A: Whoever started that rumor is truly lame... probably just some lamer I deleted from the board for uploading .WAV files... yuck. Q: Is REN-DEAD.ZIP true? A: If you have to ask that, go to DOS right now and type FORMAT C: Q: What other info can I get? A: Look at REN-94.NFO for the latest list of members and sites! ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ Closing Words ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ As usual, I must thank all the die-hard Renaissance fans who have stuck with us through it all. You are what makes us continue our work! So to all you lamers that sit around making fun of us all day, you are right. We are lame... You are K00L and really 3lite d00ds. I am glad that we have provided you with a source of entertainment in your truly boring, dull, lame, and girl-free lives. Enjoy yourselves... Please excuse any typos in this thing... its late. I need to get some sleep.... ZzZzZzzzz.....
