    Ended in the summer. This year it was
productivity on a variety of activities than ever before.
It seems that in all previous years there was no such
number of party as this year. But ...
Quantity does not always turns into quality. All
could verify this with specific examples.
What you are reading now is a compilation of
my thoughts on the matter. Please do not
accept the text as hitting. Thought
it is as useful advice for future organizers.
Immediately say, that no one party nA in this
year (and not only in this) I was not: (, and
All of the following was written based on various
rumors of the networks and publications in the ZX-press
some public records, etc. etc. Therefore, if
somewhere in my data does not match
Actually, the pre-offer my
apologies. In general, the reason for writing this
text was the almost complete lack of sober
criticism in various publications. Exception
is perhaps that UnBEL! EVER, speaking in
BORN DEAD # 0B against incorrect vote
on Complex Compo.


    So, this summer have been following events:
Chaos Construction'999, Complex Compo,
Doxycon'99, Paradox'99, Di: Halt'99, CAFe'99
(Named in chronological order). Consider
all those party to the order.


    The first in this year's party was held in
Peter under the name of a stylish Chaos
Construction'999. Personally, I think Designs
Chaos was the first party is not only time but also
for everything else. On the party was announced
advance rulezy were brought to people in time
was even invitatsiya. Organized the event
very famous people. But unfortunately not CC'999
has become the party of what it could be.
The reason was lack of confidence of the masses in the coming
event. Therefore, CC'999 were not all
who could come, so the party was not
some decent work, and therefore appeared
so many 'left' party. Now it's too late
sort out who is to blame. But still,
though not everything was perfect, party a success. In
Peter came to many people from other cities,
They brought with them the good work and do
nice to spend time. In short, wait for 2nd issue
Scenergy with a description of this grand
event.

    But Coy any shortcomings were at this party.
So, I can not understand why it was necessary to spend
so much time writing rulezov if they
still almost not observed. Can lead
examples, judging only on the items.
For example, if second place in the Music Compo
(Unreal2 by DJ.Serg) are not converted, then what
assume conversion? Then, as the name
Some Mouzon written in the 97m. A Mouzon
Birds-1 (6th place) in general was presented at the
E'97. This is a relatively Music comro. With regards to
graphics, then I finished off most of the fact that
com put up as much 3! Scrin Monarch'a (place
4, 14, 15, the last two pictures you can see
a slide show name Monarch'a), although the rules
was clearly indicated: one writer - a job. Here
Repeating Funtop'om, where there were about
6 screenshots Monarch'a. While there certainly is not wine
organizers, and some Kvazar'a,
predstvlyayuschego these works to the party. Generally,
need preselekte work was. And then
results were not to say that very much
reliable. I mean, some pretty
lamerskie work are surprisingly high (in
results). Although, if preselekt was still,
that these works would have a great chance does not
come to a vote.

    I must say a few words that served as
the main reason demopati. About democompo.
The only spekovskoe components, with the results
which I agreed to 100%. Real Masters
made their DeMouy purely on party (ie to show
with a large number is not quite sober people
:) And quite rightly won 1st place.
Although a closer view of their deme
absolutely not quoted in all parameters
markedly inferior Deme Jam from Digital Reality (2nd
place). Generally DR'ovtsam no luck. Has never
they do not take 1st place at the party, despite
awesome quality of their work. Maybe you are lucky
next year. A 3rd place Accept Corp.
because the work was only three. Here
So there. Among the intro I note from the 16K
Serzh'a (cool music, and generally cool), and
'Beyond 4K' from Scorpion Club'a (cool code, if
not yet Exploder'ovsky then before him was not far;
whether music, and it would have taken 1st place).


    Next time it was completed Complex
Compo. It began long before CC'999, but
the results were announced just after 10 July (a
People brought up even later). Special chance
become a major component of the world have spekovskogo
Complex'a not been from the beginning (but
Organizers of such purposes and is not placed). Although
rulezy were published in advance, and even in
One of the most popular ZX-journals Deja Vu,
yet few people have normal access to
network. Though I must admit is true, who was
necessary, that their work sent. But in the general and
Overall, the work was not very much, and
Voters were slightly larger (and sorry
work Complex'e were very good).
Well, the results (imho) still got
much more objective than the CC'999. True, if
delete all bourgeois work in the 1st ten
:). I believe that works such as music
Yerzmyey and TDM could take such a high place
only at the voting polls all bourgeois
for these works. But despite this, we can
considered scientifically proven fact that the best
musicians and artists living in ex-USSR (Andrew
Fer and Diver). Although it seems that this fact is
news only for the bourgeois.

    Linings were here. Despite the ban
exhibit hedgehog relizennye work, some
shalyavnichal. Here and MMcM'ovsky Mouzon, standing in the
Oberon_ # 5 (sorry, UnBEL! EVER, but it's true), and
bourgeois Mouzon, standing in the First Assotiation
(Although the MB then I'm wrong, because they all sound
in my ear the same way). The meaning of this
Conduct a little not clear.


    Somewhere in that time has passed following the party,
Doxycon'99. About this party is known about
nothing but the results and operations. The schedule
See nothing but screenshots Diver'a (1st
place) and Yerzmyey (well, very cool:).
About the music I can only say one thing:
bourgeois, we do not understand. Personally, I was able to 
assess only the Russian tracks so Mouzon from last place

(Strangely enough, is from 2nd Doxy I like
only Mouzon, who finished last place). About
dem and intro too anything good to say I can not
since all the effects already seen in our demah
96-97go year, with faster and prettier.
Of course, this is my personal opinion, but it is still
reflects the overall quality of papers presented at the
party.


    Oh well, God bless him, Doxycon'om. Indeed, in
Rostov took the next party, Paradox'99. By
the number of submitted works can be fully
compete with CC'999, and even in quality. K
Sorry about the party too late talking,
Therefore, the work of other regions is not particularly much.
On holding party at the moment almost nothing
unknown (unclear rumors about grandiose drunk
can hardly be considered a report), will have to wait
DonNews regular full report about the
Paradox'99. So while one can only say
only on the works so the results. In Gfx compo 1st
replaced by Paracels / EI with steep screenshots. K
Unfortunately, Diver/4D did not have time to send their
job, and Paracels'a was not worthy
competitors. Until the pile was konverchennyh screenshots,
and the drawing looked very white space. C
music too cool deal. Here of course
still affected by personal bias, but
I think the vote showed no better
Mouzon, and more local. Of the musicians who fell
in the first ten are known except that Phantom Lord
(2nd place), Klim (place 8,11), Criminal (10th
place). On the other, thank God, before the party
I've never heard of. I'm not going to talk about
Permian Mouzon, but do Mast, MMcM, McMaker
ranked last in a fair competition?
At demokompo was not any original
work in 4K, too, but in the 16K was a very steep
work, which has won 3rd place. Why did the third, but not
the first is unknown, but the work does
ruleznaya.


    It took 2 weeks, and again a new party. In
Dzerzhinsk took Di: Halt'99. To my
Unfortunately, at present, rumors
(Officially reporting that something is not visible) pati
can be considered a failure. Voting Gfx '
Music compo has been carried out (for everyone
asked to vote by mail), after
and a half weeks still no graphics with the party, and
all that. The most annoying is the fact that
this party was represented by the coolest deme
this year. Of course, I'm talking about NAPALM'e from
Eternity Industry. So far, the only
the reason why I consider it a try
to hold party held. More about Di: Halt
I do not know anything, I'll wait for reports in
ZX-press type BUZZ'a (EI seems to be
attended the party).


    Oh and by the end of August last past
event, to some extent dedicated to
ZX-Spectrum'u. We are talking about in the glorious CAFe'99
Kazan. What is known at the moment? A
practically nothing. Since Gfx 'Music compo
for the cake was not, then work on CAFe,
felt, was by the thousand. In the meantime, there is no
them. At the hands of only deme of Serzh'a and
Hardwave 'WORKSTOP' yes 4K-intro from X-Project'a
'Malady'. We will wait for reports and papers from this
party. But the very hope for something very cool
no need (for those who had hoped), everything was clear
advance.


    Here, I surveyed all of the party, this past
summer. Without mentioning except that it remains SSG,
which does not party. What conclusions can be
make vyshenapisannogo? Personally, I have decided to
the following: give the next year
one single party! And while there have CC'2000
no competitors. Especially if the party
will be more convenient for most of the time
(Such as at the end of August). In any case,
Next year I'll try to come to the party
(If I'm not zagrebut in the army). And to a
year will not get bored, you can hold virtual
com (in the manner of Complex Compo) once every 3-4 months.
It is now preparing a similar component, so that
Soon to this conversation, I'll be back.

    Well, as long as everything. Again bring
apologies to all who have touched the information contained
in this article.
