1. Before The Party ...
---------------------
Before the party was only 2 weeks, and we knew it was time
start doing DeMouy, otherwise it will be too late. In a matter 
of urgency We began to look SaiR00S'a because to do anything 
without the encoder was would be highly problematic. Find it 
turned out to be not so easy as home he did not appear for the 
second month and lived all this time girlfriend. But in the end 
SaiR00S yet been caught, and he was read another lecture about 
being wanted demos, about all rulezah Spectrum and - most 
importantly - the SS. He himself at all costs DeMouy wanted to 
do, and this lecture has further strengthened it, and us this 
endeavor. So, work was started. SaiR00S invented itself the 
concept of demos, and further developed his idea has already 
Paracels. And so, when, apparently, work has begun to boil, the 
SaiR00S'a burns Spectrum ... It is worth noting that this 
happens every year and always before the party. We had to do 
something. Mend Spectrum SaiR00S'a not had the time, needed a 
new car! As in Last year, we went to Alex'u Cherdakov'u, and he 
graciously gave us time to pay his Pentagon'a. But,

Unfortunately, she refused to work in the housing SaiR00S'a. Had
continue the search, and all the time keeps on slipping away. 
And so, thanks Senat'u, we managed to get his old Spectrum,

who a year ago, he successfully sold (and which now again
trying to sell). However, to everyone's pity, have been Senat'a
not Pentagon, a bin, probably even brake
the original Spectrum. Nevertheless, kodit it was possible to
(Senat somehow kodil!) Than immediately SaiR00S and engaged.

At the time we calmed down a bit: the computer found it not 
worth on the spot - and slowly began to seek Pentagon, to have 
it fixed all DeMouy. And he was found, for which many thanks

Neo ^ Virtual Masters! But because of all these failures and 
the search time after all was lost, for an account with us was 
not even on the days and the hours. We felt that we did not 
have time to finish DeMouy prior to departure. In an urgent 
action plan was developed, where and how to will continue to 
work on demoy. Contact with Moscow, we learned that Wlodek 
Black is ready to provide us with your computer during our stay 
in the capital. From a conversation with UnBeliever'om on the 
phone, we also learned that the party-place with free computer 
problems should not be. 

Last night before leaving outstanding features tense. In
PCB HQ no one slept. SaiR00S sitting at the computer and kodil 
all walked around and gave valuable advice, someone was smoking 
on the balcony Someone was watching TV, but to sleep so no one 
could. Rang the alarm that signaled that it was time

turn off all equipment and meet the road. Deme but has not been
unfinished - left to finish 5 effects! Done copies
source and a little refreshed, we (as a part: DMan,
Paracels, SaiR00S and the Spy, as mourners) went on
Station. It is worth noting that the Spy, though did not go to 
Peter, but all night was a PCB HQ, moreover, he still managed 
to finish his wild on the last day!



2. Carpets - London
-----------------
The way to Moscow, we have passed through Vladimir, in which we
arrived at the local train, a kind of gadyushnike, which
probably all has become a mother, for use in this kind of
transport us (and especially Paracels'u) have fairly
often. Nothing very special about this one and a half hour the 
way we do not remember: everyone was trying to sleep after a 
sleepless night leaning against a long time not blurred windows 
of the car. At the same Vladimir, we had only half an hour of 
free time. To Moscow we get to "Express". It has recently 
banned from the train Superior (as it is called ourselves

railroad), which overcomes the path from Vladimir to
Moscow only 2.5 hours, while everyone else is doing
it for 3,5-4. It has 3-class comfort. We, as
distressed by the representatives of the computer bohemians, 
naturally, rode in a 3-m (lower) class. It is almost the same

from the ordinary trains, only warm and dry. Again, nothing
interesting things happened: all over again trying to sleep in
totally unsuitable for this environment: the window frames as
luck were made of iron and in addition to that were shifted to
a few inches back so that his head leaned exactly
on edge, from which a few minutes later began to ache skull.
Sleep properly, perhaps, could only Cyrus: it is through
some unearthly distortions of his body was able to achieve
equilibrium posture and sleep. While on his arrival in Moscow, 
he swore as the last debauchee, branding and "Express", and 
railways, and Paracelsus, who talked of going by bus.



3. Moscow
--------
In the capital of our country, we were somewhere in 10 hours of 
the morning and immediately decided to move to Wlodek'u because 
We waited for appending demos. Upon arrival, we were faced with 
another problem - Wlodek'a was not home. Seated on a bench near 
the house, we have to wait until victory, as the DeMouy us had 
any append. Calling Pheel'u, we found that Wlodek'a will not

Up to 2 hours, while the arrows show 12:30. Waiting
was continued, because to go somewhere it made no sense. During
this expectation, we still do not rang once Pheel'u. He invited 
us to guests, but appending demos was at that moment more 
important, as living Spectrum was only Wlodek'a. Incidentally, 
during these calls, we famously learned to make calls almost 
for free. Will not go into details, except to say that instead 
of tokens in Moscow payphones can easily tuck (NOTE) the usual

50-penny coin. After passing the local shops, we are a little
refreshed.

The clock struck 2 pm, and Wlodek'a and was not. Here we are 
reminded of the sentence Pheel'a come to visit him. Remembered

go ... and did not reach! As it turned out, Pheel gave us
the name of a defunct subway station Metrogorodok. Not knowing
this, we are struggling strained every counter-question and
even the poor serving the Moscow metro, which looked
at us with wild eyes, not understanding what we want from it. 
As a result, Pheel waited for us on the street for an hour 
while we searched for an hour a place that does not exist in 
nature, and then decided to return to home Wlodek'a.


He appeared only at 16:00. Before the train left, Peter 04.03
hours, and we immediately set about writing demos, good
Computer Wlodek'a worked like a clock! Volodya told us a lot
useful information about upcoming CC. SaiR00S'u was still
append two effects - had to do another 3 and bring all
marketability. Cleave to the word about free Unbeliever'a
computers to the party, we went to the Leningrad station. There
we went to the nearest cafe for a snack before a long
expensive. The cafe was bought pizza, some bread, coffee,
Coca-Cola, etc. Located on a small table on the contrary, we
began to feast. And then in the distance we saw the painfully 
familiar person who is rapidly approaching us. It was Pheel!

After talking with him and finished the meal, we now have four,
went to the platform to learn anything about our train and
together to find Crazy, which were supposed to deliver for 
shipment his friends, with whom he had been drinking somewhere 
in Zelenograd hostel. Finding the train, we headed to their 
cars on the road met spektrumistov group of Naro-Fomnska with 
who later became Famously (who was in the SS, will understand 
me;) CyberFreak'om headed. It turned out that they were going 
in the same carriage with Pheel'om and Wlodek'om. Later came 
himself Wlodek. And so, when prior to departure of the train 
left 15 minutes, came from Crazy his companions. He could 
hardly stand on my feet! Friends farewell Crazy with a very 
loud, not hiding his grief. They were even polite asked to 
depart from the train. Loaded, we finally gone in the direction 
of the northern capital. Several interesting things happened on 
the train ... 

Paracels left the vestibule, where talking to Pheel'om and
peoples Fomintsev. Crazy just waking up somewhere about 20 
minutes after departure of the train, wanted to celebrate their 
natural needs and as the toilet was closed, decided to do their 
dirty business in a bottle of mineral water, and right where 
you sit! Make this vulgar act prevented him indignant SaiR00S,

that "lucky" to sit next to Srazy. The latter,
Burchi displeasure, went to the platform and - oh shame! - 
Committed conceived. What happened to this bottle and then we 
are Unfortunately, it is not known. When the toilets were open, 
Crazy decided to pay another visit to this sweet heart of each 
person place and, sitting there - no matter how I feel ashamed 
to talk about it! - Fell asleep and slept in the clean and jerk 
20 minutes! All the rest of the way we just slept and did not 
even notice, as it turned at Moscow Station in St. Petersburg. 


4. St. Petersburg. Shaverma RULEZ!
---------------------------------
Fell out of the train, we started looking at the station 
familiar faces remembering how last year we met a huge crowd. 
But not finding none, we are in the PCB, Pheel, Wlodek and 
peoples Fomintsev moved to familiar to us kiosks Fast Food, 
where immediately refreshed our favorite meal - shavermoy and 
Hotdog. Worth to note that eating Hotdog and shavermu was one 
of the goals our visit to St. Petersburg, perhaps even our main 
goal: 8) As we stood and ate all of these miracle products to us

approached CPU'shniki, who met Kurleson'a coming from
Cherepovets. Before the opening of ticket offices, where we had 
to buy back Tickets remained a couple of hours. We had time to 
kill a sense of hunger and talk to CPU'shnikami heart to heart. 
In the conversation it became clear that the new Adventurer 
will only after HS, which will be a lot of reports about the 
event. Still buying tickets, we went with peace of mind to 
party-place. A guide to Peter spoke Wlodek Black, whose

kept all the cards from last year's SS.

5. Chaos Constructions'2001. Start!
-----------------------------------
MOP was held in the same theater "Sunrise", somewhere on the 
outskirts of Peter. To get to him long enough. First, we should 
go to subway to the end station, then to the trolley or

shuttle bus about 20-30 minutes through some wasteland and 
forests. Seeing wall which has already become family theater, 
we were immediately reminded of SS'000 and his crowd, but drew 
closer, we are nothing like the Last year did not see - there 
was only a couple of people. First person We met a Dwarf / XTM, 
then appeared and Unbeliever. It turned out that all the people 
already in the hall. We hurried go there and not to lose time 
in vain, immediately begun to append demos. Computers, which 
fell to we have proved KAY'yami 1024 (this is, in principle, 
one would expected) with b / w "bells." They stood on the left 
of the stage, the corner of the room and people used to copy 
software. Well, as a party-iron used the following technique:

Pentagon128 (the same one Mednonogovsky) that show
almost all the work, Scorpion256, Amiga1200/BlizzardPPC/BVision 
and couple some clever pisyukov, one of whom was

connected to the Internet, and it Weird in real-time lecturing
photos from the party, a digital camera. All equipment
located in the same place as last year, ie before
in the scene. It is worth noting that the organizers have found 
a more good yield with all the wires. As you know, last year

their pencils hanging from the ceiling right in the middle of 
the screen, thereby interfering with viewing the work. In the 
same year, the wires were simply tape pasted to the floor and 
never stopped anyone. As in the past year, the party was a 
color projector. The entire first day, mainly focused on the 
Spectrum and passed under the leadership of Unbeliever'a, 
helped him a Fishbone (probably the first time he I saw the 
microphone and from such a joy throughout the party published 
with the help of some inarticulate sounds). In the beginning, 
not yet begun compos, appeared on the scene Agonia (Lin 
Potapova, sister notorious Random'a), who apologized for his 
brother and solemnly handed diplomas past designs of Chaos. We 
got 3 diplomas: 1 st place in the ZX Demo Compo, 2-e in the ZX 
Gfx Compo and 1 st in the PC 256bytes Intro Compo.


The first began ZX Gfx compo. Work was very much something
about 50 pieces, and the percentage of high-quality clearly 
exceeds sucks. On individual progress ZX Gfx scene. First place 
by a large margin took Pheel / Phantasy with his work 'Prisoner 
of Time', the second again got Paracels'u and his' Xzem'e. 
Closes the three Winners Gas13 work 'Among Us'. Then there were 
the music and intro compos. This year, finally took place in 
the music preselekt compo, and to participate were allowed only 
20 works, which, of course well pleased with all, except, 
perhaps, the authors works, not preselekt past. Around the 
music compo walk long debate about it necessary. On the one 
hand you should not deprive the musicians, and with another - 
as soon as it starts compo, more than half of the hall 
immediately removed to the street, because to sustain at least 
2 tracks spekovskoy music is simply impossible. So it was this 
year. 

Another coup organizers can take their decision
show with ZX Gfx compo to 2 times that people can all
carefully reviewed and, then vote.

All this time SaiR00S sat and finish DeMouy, conceding almost
all compos. Rapidly approaching ZX Demo compo, and our deme
and has not been appended. Seeing this, Unbeliever announced 
the postponement of ZX Demo compo next day, for which we are 
very grateful to him. And thanks to all the room for the fact 
that agreed to wait! To score became free time, decided at the 
end of the day to 4ch music compo and multichannel music compo.


Forgot to mention that the entrance to the party cost 100 
rubles, and for winners of the last CC was free! At the 
entrance stood out plastic badge with a pass to the party, and 
those who passed Free pass different - it was printing 
"freepass". Also issued to vote sheets. And only on these 
passes can be was free to enter the room and get on the 2 nd 
day. To protect (us or from us?) Was hired by the police.


Upon completion of pisishnyh music compos first was officially
over. As it turned out, the projector for the night were taken, 
and no "midnight" compos could not be, and the second day was

decided to start with previously deferred ZX Demo compo. Night 
could be to right in the room than many, including us, did not 
fail use.


6. Night.
-------
Immediately after the first day the people marched to the 
assault Local stores that were closed after an hour to

Zatar something edible for the night. Because All were 
PCB'shniki busy writing demos, the job entrusted to me. Having 
done all necessary supplies, we had dinner and sat down with 
renewed vigor for writing demos, while the people lie down to 
sleep on shops, and is closer to midnight, there was virtually 
no free space. We all wrote DeMouy were this not

alone: ​​for the Amiga was sitting Levitator / tPA, and also 
finishing his 4K. Throughout the night we spent working on 
demoy, in conversation with yet sleeping people and just 
walking down the hall. Somewhere in the middle of the night 
deme has finally been appended. It turned out that the most 
difficult part was write a basic boot. In this "difficult" 
(Cyrus, shame something what! ;))) We helped Maddy Vins (thanks

pal!). Because everything was done on KAY'e, and even in turbo 
mode, we quickly move on compo machine to nemngo podfiksit our

creation under the Pentagon, but they were already small things 
- most importantly, that deme was ready. More or less otfiksiv 
just harvested miracle, we made several copies and gave place 
to Eye-Q, which fled from the accursed KAY'ya and waited for 
their turn at Pentagon. We sincerely apologize to them for 
being so long held computers and do not let them finish the 
demoy. 

In general, we express our gratitude to all those who in every 
way supported us and helped us when appending demos. It is your

faith in us and support have helped us to finish it and - that 
there speak! - Take 2 nd place. Special blagodanost we declare

the following people: sqkreamej ^ skrju, Stanly ^ STALL, Flying 
^ DR, Maddy Vins ^ Pht, Cusick ^ S. Club and Arty ^ Dr. The 
latter, for the honor to say tried to drive away the DRV ^ PhF 
from the second computer on which he played in the Elite. And 
also thanks to everyone who just came to us. 


7. Day 2
----------
The second day began with the fact that the guards woke 
everyone asked vacate the room because, like last year, were

sectarians for morning prayers. Beginning the second day was 
scheduled at 11:00.


Drowsy and sleepy all crawled out and in search of food
scattered in all directions. Shavermoy breakfast and coffee, we 
have so far been time, we decided to move in search of the 
so-called Sea, which is rumored to be very close, and which is 
already on the eve of bathed Belarusians. A little toward

alleged sea, we ran into a crowd of supporters and
went together podolzhili searches. By the way, we asked some
grandfather type, but where is the sea? He answered us that it 
is quite near, just around the corner - and pointed the 
direction. As a result, we found a bay that looks reminiscent 
of our Klyazma, which with undisguised air of pofigizma and

mild prostration swam two ducks. Long scolding grandfather 
(deceived bastard!), we fed the ducks remains loaf bought for 
the night. Y We even had the idea to catch them to eat 
breakfast normally, but the ducks were so clever, do not 
succumb to our tricks. :-))))) In the end, glut oneself, they 
have not responded to loaf. Later we found out on the map that 
this is the creek just and empties into the Gulf, but there 
have been a long top. Naobschavshis with wildlife, we decided 
to return to the party-place. 

In the meantime, has finally woken up and had breakfast
people gathered at the theater and began to vividly 
communicate, because Hall was still busy sectarians. And then 
it was an interesting debate, in which was attended by many 
people, but the most important instigators were SaiRooS ^ PCB 
and Vivid ^ BW. It lasted somewhere 2 hours. The whole point of 
the dispute boils down to: c2p or multicolor? CPU'shniki 
recorded all this mess on tape and have already done it 
publicized in the pages of 13th Adventurer'a. 

Later sectarians yet finished their wild orgies, and all again
were able to get into the hall to see what prompted them to 
come to Peter, - ZX Demo Compo. Before its onset has been shown 
the best, According to organizers, the deme of all time, "Shit 4

Brains "by Progress. By the way, before each ZX compo also
shows the best, again according to organizers, working in
this nomination. It was a kind of landmark quality. ZX
Demo Compo passed without any incidents: all of the planned
demos have started and have been shown. We walked the 
penultimate and show up on the Scorpion ZS 256 in turbo mode, as

Organizers previously warned the audience. Our
joy this year was no brake boot, and everything went
like clockwork. Moreover, the deme is not a test for Scorpio, 
and so Still, everything worked as it should. Upon completion 
of the components we breath, took the last copy and waited for 
the results. It is worth noting that the most lively reaction 
from the people was to DeMouy of BrainWave, and our own. 
Shouted a little on the vector animations of VolgaSoft, which 
helped her to take third place. Very pleased with the work of 
sqkreamej'a, which, to everyone surprise, was only fourth.


Then he was held 32K Game Compo. Was represented by 3 works
plus one - out of competition. Remember only 2 of them. They 
are: Shooting at ducks (similar pisyavoy game) and Arcanoid by 
DRV ^ PhF, which was exhibited in 2000 4K Intro Compo, but 
there is already was more fancy oneframe'voya toy. Outside of 
the components was shows another remake of Dizzy by Gogin. 
Cusick was organized collection of money to the author. Gogin 
was delighted, because did not expect that be able to earn at 
least some money. After all, he brought the game to free 
distribution, but here it happened. And in this merit Cusick!


PC / Amiga compos nothing particularly interesting not 
remember, because nothing good, unlike last year, there was 
no-one sucks (and it's putting it mildly). During the PC / 
Amiga Gfx Compo there was one unpleasant incident. After 
completion of compo it turned out that many studies simply 
lost, and lost were All of the Amiga! Is it just a coincidence, 
or something more ... To protect the wronged legendary rose 
Kan0 ^ RP. It was then and found that preselekt all graphics 
(this applies only to PC / Amiga) conducted one man - Zmej, all 
of which were selected just a few minutes. Then, to protect the 
Amiga works stood Dwarf ^ XTM, which is long and hard rubbed 
slow-witted pisyukovtsam that the picture of his girlfriend (as 
it turned out later, wife - congratulations!) no conversion, 
and that the Amiga has such a editor as Deluxe Paint, and there 
you can do cool stuff. In finally justice has been done, and 
the schedule yet revealed, but (and this whole insanity of the 
situation!) even after as has been collected, most vote-sheets.


As far as I know, the Amiga 4K won work
"Quadrapedia" by team PowerAmiga, which I was very pleased. But
homes found that in this 4K virtually no personal
a: all the effects were, to put it mildly, are borrowed from 
Azure, famous Amiga coder - or rather, from his website. Of 
course, cool, that among pisyukov 1-ranked Amiga takes work, but

victory in this way leads to sad thoughts. By the way, also
it turned out that last year's 64K of tPA is also not going 
smoothly, - namely, the same situation. Sucks it all ... : (


As they walked pisyavo-Amiga compos, somewhere in a secret room
tallied the results. At the head of this process was
Justinas / CTLia, which, incidentally, was sitting the entire 
first day compo-machine.


Upon completion of all compos wild'y were shown, but as
per se, wild compo, to our great regret, was not.

Under the best party of the curtain the results were announced 
and awarded diplomas and prizes. In nominations PC / Amiga this 
ceremony again conducted Agonia. Diplomas were presented by the 
same spektrumistam Unbeliever ^ XTM. As a result, we have 2 
diplomas: the 2-nd place in the ZX Demo Compo and for 2 nd 
place in ZX Gfx Compo. "Hacker" magazine also DVD Player handed 
over some left pisyavy wild. And EA ^ ATS handed over his CD c 
album "Anoxia" in almost every prize PC / Amiga compos. Then 
Chaos Constructions'2001 were officially closed, and all have 
asked from the audience. Thus ended the best demopati 2001!



8. After party.
--------------
As in the past year, we have a huge crowd, which had been
observed: sqkreamej, Unbeliever, Stanly, Maddy Vins, Joker,
Klim, Organism, Time Keeper, Raid, Justinas, DjSoundliner,
Cusick, Wlodek Black, Pheel, CyberFreak and other peoples 
Fomintsev, Of course, PCB and someone else (sorry, could not 
remember!). Here such concerted series we went to the station. 
The crowd occupied the whole trolley. Came down with it, we 
stopped at a small lawn relax, but instead had a conversation 
about the problems of the scene. Then we finally got to the 
station and is located near kiosks. The mood began to rapidly 
deteriorate. Everyone knew that soon will say goodbye ...


While sitting at the station we are keenly debated issues 
Speccy, and then there was one interesting case. Came up to us 
and become a bum beg for a cigarette. After receiving a 
negative response, he began to sing some sort of patriotic 
songs. Here podospel Unbeliever and since the homeless began to 
sing a hymn of the Soviet Union. For their unique vocal bum 
still got a cigarette, and - satisfied a - walked away.


Our ranks are gradually thinning: Many quietly left home.
The first left Wlodek Black, Pheel and peoples Fomintsev. 
Cusick gave a whole scene of farewell to Pheel'om. Hour and a 
half came and our turn. After parting shot we got into the 
train and went to Moscow. Our hearts were full of sadness, no 
matter how sentimental this sounds. But on this our journey is 
not ended.



9. Moscow. Part 2-I.
--------------------
As soon as the train started, we immediately passed out and 
slept all the way, because pretty wore out during these three 
days. In Moscow We met Pheel. First we went to the station 
where purchased Tickets for "Express" to Vladimir. And then 
went to Pheel'u, y of which stayed until the trains. In him we 
have written off a lot pisyavo-Amiga graphics, watched the tape 
with CC'999 and finally fine dinner, for which many thanks to 
yourself and Pheel'u his mom!


In the evening, farewell to Pheel'om, we went to the station. 
There We have already waited Wlodek Black, who, and took us to 
the very wagon. All the way home (in the "Express" to Vladimir 
in train to Kovrova) we discussed the CC and demos. We came up 
with many interesting things for our future masterpiece;) and 
decided to by all means do DeMouy next summer party. For

these conversations, we did not notice that appeared in Kovrov 
where We have already seen Spy. We got home about 23:00 just

killed and immediately lay down to sleep ...

So for us over SS001!


10. Conclusions
---------
What conclusions can be drawn from the whole incident? ..

Chaos Constructions'2001 success! And obviously was better than 
in Last year, despite the most pessimistic predictions! Works

in ZX compos were many and very high quality. In favor
This suggests even that took 32k Game Compo,
which was first held at the Spectrum. Unfortunately, that
the same can not be said about the PC / Amiga compos. There was 
very little work, and their quality is poor. On the background 
of Spectrum Luxury Amiga and PC looked very pale, and in fact, 
were in full Bounce!


People were slightly less than last year. Many simply do not
believed that the MOP will be held, but in vain ...

Completely forgot to mention that the party had unlimited 
internet, thanks to internet cafes, which was located on the 
second floor cinema. Right during the party in real-time 
written and laid out a report of everything going on. Moreover, 
all party filmed on a digital photo-camera that the online

were laid in the 'Net, so that all those who, for whatever 
reasons did not could attend the SS were able to observe all

using the World Wide Web! And in the end was shown, the 
so-called Wild, consisting from all captured during the party 
photos. Was quite interesting to look at everything going on, 
and on themselves, from the side.


SS prshel on Hurray! And it can not but rejoice! I really hope 
that next year it happen again. And I'm sure, work on

Spectrum will be not less ...

See you at SS'2002!
