Демопати

Words 2 world - On demopati: Doxycon (north Bohemia).

(C) Ars

 Xeh, quite a while, I'm not clocked:). News, as you
understand, after last issue, there is sufficient
many (and at my typewriter and even managed to finish the 
130-megabyte broom ...). But many of them are already outdated, 
and was published during this time Spectrum Press in moemu 
always about all described in detail ->. So, I will not repeat 
... 

 Skip to current events, namely the upcoming demopati. As we 
know, this year to prepare them in at least three: Funtop, 
Doxycon and Chaos Construction. SS was moved to later date;), 
and FT, and DC will be held later this month.  Doxycon will be 
held in northern Bohemia in the small town Doksy, that 70 km 
from Prague. The main organizer is the party of all known 
group: ESA (Excellent Speccy Aces). According to preliminary 
information is expected about 80 participants from the Czech 
Republic, Slovakia and Poland. There is every reason to believe 
that this party will be the most large-scale event in these 
countries, as is expected to attend virtually all known groups 
and scenery: ESA, K3L, OMEGA, Naughty Crew, 8BC, TGM, ZeroTeam, 
Busy, Noro, Astex, Baze, WWW, DcPak, DemoCompo well and now is 
of great interest only spectrum world. During the voting 
(voting) members will determine Best all-time work and 
certainly will appreciate the new demo.  The widely circulated 
in the spring of Internet invitation clearly obgovereny all the 
details of Doxycon, such as rules com:), travel, accommodation, 
meals, cash costs. By an irony fate;) Doxycon held on school 
premises at Komensky's street, well located near the square. 
Party will be 3 days will begin on Friday 14 August at 10:00 
and officially completed in Sunday 16 th to 15 hours. The 
participants had before school offers 4 small class room, 
dining room, showers and a gym:). There are however some 
problems with the hardware part because the spectrum clone 
participants rather different. It was therefore proposed to 
take them with you;). Also (translate), please do not forget to 
bring along: 

 - 100 euros ($ 3) for organizational costs (travel from Prague

   would cost $ 1.5);
 - Ssoboyku for two days (or money for Meals: cheap Resto
   ranchik nearby - across the street);
 - Sleeping bags or blankets (if someone wants to sleep);
 - Extension cords and adapters (although some pieces are 
already there);  - Your DEMO-specific Doxycon'a (although this 
is not 

   prerequisite) ;-)
 - Money on the way back (Ars: there was not an emoticon)
 - Her friends, too can take with them, but not guaranteed

   that they will not be bored ;-)

 Apparently, the organizers of Doxy, give participants ability 
to make some freedom of action, moreover, they count on their 
help and even rely on it. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that 
the party will be successful because the participants 
themselves will provide its execution and collaboration with 
the organizers already discussed and decided the whole range of 
issues. Discussed by the way, with the help of IRC - modern and 
indispensable means of communication.  And the only thing that 
saddens Doxycon'a participants, so this is that in the absence 
of this place Internet, they can not share the joy of 
communication with those who can not attend, Although very much 
wanted to be there in Doksy, among his friends.  After all, if 
possible, anyone who has been to the IRC in these days, would 
have been there, in distant Bohemia, along with everyone. And 
this not just words, because IRC - not just some computer out 
there program, it is - a life with all the feelings, emotions, 
feelings, is a source of moral support, without which it would 
be Spectrum in many countries had long been dead. 

 Xeh, so I turned down:)


                    · · Commercial Break · ·

 Ars: This number RIP'a, you are now reading, has appeared in
thanks to IRC. Fatality remains on the scene thanks largely to 
Internet ...  But in Minsk, someone we have long buried ... ;)


 WW: This number RIP'a you are now reading through the Minsk 
factory Krynitsa non-alcoholic beverages, the official supplier 
of the best in the world Zhigulevsky beer. Negotiations for 
sponsorship under way. 


                      (For publicity)

Ars: Ay-yay-yay ... Besides the fact that you interrupted me;), 
so also issued a trade secret ... But what about the current 
contract with by the "Crystal"? Suddenly find out, competitors 
... So six months on mineral water sitting: (


                             . . .

 Let's digress so far from this topic and get back to what
Werewolves said at the beginning of this issue: yes, now we did 
not lack of support in his own city in the country. How can

abyyakavasts, indifferent attitude of all our affairs and 
undertakings, be a stimulus to any work? And even more so when 
instead of the support we get frank assaults, from his own ...  
WW>: E 

 Of course, there may be those who say that all life is a 
struggle. Will survive and will break into people - the 
strongest ... And may even lead a lot of examples where the 
competition, and more precisely, the battle, contributed to the 
development stage.  All in fact probably remember from world 
learned of the King of Time, Alex'e Plusov'e, Doc'e, Kamikaze 
... Oddly, the scene is very often result from fuckback'ov! ;-) 
Many people remember the rush of development Spectrum in Minsk 
at the beginning of last year, an abundance of projects, 
working groups, leaving newspapers releases. Those who have it 
all seen, knows that the enthusiasm of the time it came out 
rather harsh confrontation. All against all. Nobody thought any 
of whose opinions, everyone wanted to be first. All the while 
obsessed by the newspapers, everyone tried to make XOT 
something in the ANSWER. Paradox;). It is striking that while 
support was not so relevant (although talking about it) as it 
is now. That stubbornness, obstinacy, which was carried out 
competition, is not allowed to really talented people together 
for a common cause. It seemed that While the benefits from it 
all. The abundance of software - which still have to nick? And 
yet the future (present), imho, it was decided back then. 

 WW: Yes peregryzlis all to hell ...


                            . . .

 The first symptom was the collapse of Prophecy by the autumn 
of last year. Even without the collapse, but just a group 
ceased to exist. And one One reason was the failure to 
participate in Enlight. I must say that PHC was the only one of 
the Minsk group, to which we, FTL, treated with respect. That I 
can speak for everyone. We had some joint releases, and Peter 
(Tankard) a lot for all made ... Yes, and allegedly told by 
drunk Mastsoft (this I read in the ZX-Element'e) Tankard and 
came up with the same name Fatality. Xmm ... Strange;). I'm 
like, I remember that after all it was Kohl (Nicksoft). Already 
overgrown legend Lprint, by the way, too, began as a project 
Werewolves' Lama ...  His last work Tankard'a for PHC was demo 
Stare. Nomination 16K is the best demo on the Speccy now. Still 
I do not understand why Pete released this pre-release and 
asked send it to all, although Enlight stayed only a month.

Almost immediately after I posted Stare at the Acid-Nature, I
received from Raver'a letter where he asked: "This demo is not 
for Enlight? ". And although Tankard optimistic cut a demo with 
the phrase: "Meet you at the Enlight", he probably already knew 
that because of absence of money nobody can PRIEXAT.


 WW: Well, right Stirlitz: "Tankard said:" Before the meeting, 
"but I knew that exactly a year would put his boots and will 
defend their homeland. But now Tankard wrote: "See ..." :). 

 And though he told everyone that he still had a lot of effects 
and the need just good music and some graphics, it just has to

was to make this decision because of the impossibility 
PARTICIPATION. 

 WW: Remove hats, ladies and gentlemen. We have lost a great 
Tankard totally permanently ... Hsien, what do you bury him? 

 Of course, it was possible to negotiate and pass to someone
demo, the more that participants were going through Minsk from 
Brest and Bobruisk, but then once told Peter, it would not play

great value. All the same, he invested a lot in
Stare, could not get much support THEN, as he
could be obtained by attending the party.
 Imagine for a moment that a miracle happened and this 
possibility would appear, and not just an opportunity to be 
there, but also the opportunity to participate in what's 
happening! How much it could change! 

 WW: Let's imagine, even for two minutes :-). To change?
Nichrome fact would not have happened! Enlight fell off, the 
demo went for a walk in the country did not get a seat. Stare 
wanders even earlier. What Tankard rulez in Minsk, this is all 
already know. For the rest, the situation remained, would the 
former. 

 Unfortunately, a year ago it was impossible ...

 WW: Well, damn, you me started:). Yes, come on! There is a 
will! I remember well how we are all ready. As with Lam'oy 
painted for Enlight, as Petya customized. As in all the parks 
in spring probuhivali money, as the last day of Arny vyzvanival 
all, when he were the guys who were traveling from Bobruisk on 
Enlight. They somehow found the money and the desire to be. 
Somewhere there was Tankard? Where were we? What you're doing?? 
BU-XA-DO ... And do not blame everything on the situation in 
the country. 


                             . . .

 Anyway Prophecy is not, and Tankard on time left in the shade

WW: Well, finally, because I really was going for the crown ...

 But in Minsk, while in-all this newspaper war raged.
The newspaper comes out, but what an attentive reader could 
read between the lines was just the tip of the iceberg ;-). 
Move drove on Lprint, Lprint drove on Body, Body drove on 
Energy, Energy chased on the Move, all driven by bbsTOP, bbsTOP 
gested at all;). 

 WW: Heh, Lprint, if I remember correctly did not drive, he 
otbrykivalsya:). 

 And so on without end ... Of course, the newspaper produced 
real people and therefore, it is not funny, it was not confined 
to absentee accident. Sometimes on the disassembly of the 
entire team visited *). 

 WW: No team, and Legions:).


  Yes, it was fun while ... I must say, I too, did not stay in
side of what is happening, well, because I, as always, was
dissenting opinion, I have some time took out all the daily 
newspaper called NEXT. Published pieces 17 rooms like 8-). In 
addition, throughout the year in the air, every now and then, 
rushing Information the imminent magazine ZX-Element. And it 
was worn so long that this coming soon'u all have grown 
accustomed;). When the first issue finally came out (almost a 
year later) was that is not just a ZX-Element # 1, and also aka 
Energy # 9, but on the whole disc. I must say that this issue 
has been taken by the authors enviable restraint, and despite 
all BUT, I liked the magazine. By the time of passion with the 
press became ulegatsya, and when they finally subsided, it 
turned out that Minsk is no longer was not a single newspaper 
... 

 WW: In this memoir, and is cut off by the harsh reality:).


                             . . .

 Leave, perhaps, the continuation of this lame at another 
time;) and now emphasize what I have here several times hinted 
at: for the idea of ​​Virtual Funtop. I advise everyone to 
quickly get the second number Newspaper # Z80 (it is now 
available on 

    ftp://ftp.ogre2vsk.edu.lv/acid-nature/Speccy/Incoming/
or on channel # z80 network EFNet).
 I probably have nothing to add to those articles that were 
published there, except to say that Arty impressed with his 
talent publicist;). If seriously, in my opinion, it is very 
necessary, and with appropriate advertising, it is firstly not 
only retain and sustain interest in the Speccy those scenery 
that can not come on Funtop, but may awaken those who have left

scene (I will not name names, but they have the internet;)).
 Question on the number of virtual participants, I think should 
not be arouse fears of the organizers. It is clear that there 
will be no more than in Moscow). More precisely, much less so 
if they wanted to strongly influence the outcome of the voting 
members can not be virtual. And on the other hand, even if it 
will be much lower than expected, even if a few people, their

can not be discounted! We need to know the opinion of each
sceners, because maybe someone's word will be more important 
for us than the overall result. Remember that scene can be only 
on mutual support, otherwise this world nothing could save ...  
With regard to the problem of how the vote count, distribution 
of entries, and run the bot on # funtop, then for it gladly 
undertake to Depredator / PHT, who in his article, # Z80 
modestly said that the Internet is quite a lot time (I'd say 
that he lives here ;-) and even a few times took him for bot 
... Xeh, like me, he did not banned;)). Yes, I'm not talking 
about how much time were searching for competitive jobs with 
Enlight97 (you can bet that some will write down their itself 
fully only on Funtop'e ;-)).  On the issue of possible rigging, 
too, will not be problems .. True (get ready, now followed by a 
little surprise), I myself managed twice to fill in the form of 
# z80 i_pochti_ no one noticed ... ;). Anyway, this thing 
long-standing and stretched in space and time :-)). In fact, for

who spent several years in an Internet, an identification of a 
simpler problem than, for example search khalyavnykh 
news-servers or fidoshnyh fileecho ;-). 

                                In general, I'm sure everything 
will be OK. 

 Well, we lost no extra bytes go to the next part of our show;).

 WW: As entertaining as soon oblique, oblique :)...
