DI: HALT: 99 - An analysis of DH: 99. Finally, the whole truth about the past summer, in Dzerzhinsk party, from the organizers themselves.
Analysis of DI: HALT: 99 (C) ORGANiSM / EyeQ "Power". "Organization tion. He looked around again Circle the words, and those Now they began to resemble on prisoners of Troy nym fence. How good sho they fit together other ... and how sounded sad. Stephen King "Confrontation" The aim of this paper is analysis and evaluation of past party with the position of one of the organizers. The author does not claim to ultimate truth, and so moreover, does not intend anyone to impose their subjective opinion, which, however, it is very tried hard to disguise by something objective :-) Of course, after such a long time, this article is lost the last remnants of relevance, but it is related only to unanticipated delays in the release this number. Now, after Almost a year after DI: HALT: 99, I read this text, introduced the amendment which I prescribe Since that time, and here it is, my view sabzh, something tells me conscience ... So, was DI: HALT: 99. It would seem that this whole nightmare behind us ... No, found a masochist who tries to sober analyze what happened:) How You probably already knew this masochist as always was your humble servant ... Do not think that I do most of all need more than just a general No one wants :-( Who is this necessary? We have been reading plenty of reviews of all sorts of DH, which, unfortunately, We were disappointed. At DH poured streams of mud, assaults, threats to water us hot tea (hey, Ash, do you understand to whom I allude? Buying tea (more expensively and better) and wait for a visit :-)... Attack of the media reminds me of the campaign in the style of Sergei Dorenko, but even above notorious analysts and journalists can learn from spekovskih figures pen and ZXWord'a. If, in light of the parliamentary elections have taken part Eternity Industry and the Demiurge Ash, elections would have no place - an angry mob smashed to the polls smithereens:) Unfortunately, such known "sceners" (I later explain why I tend to use that word in quotes) did not play well with their senses, memory and conscience, otherwise they would not be allowed such gross inaccuracies in their "Works of journalism" ... But, first things first. Thus, DI: HALT: 99. What we have at the moment: Party, despite some pretty pessemisticheskih forecasts did take place. We (ie, the organizers (not OrganizMatoram;)) managed to lure some visitors and sufficient a large number of _vysokokachestvennyh_ works. For quality works, IMHO, DH generally leads among demoparties 1999. I will not be here to present the entire course events in the DH because it is tedious and little information, in addition, very few people (imho!), are interested. If you need a similar material, refer to the article Time Keeper'a / MHCG, of course, if he it finished, or to articles Melted Snow'a in the second issue of the journal Fans koii represent most accurate record of the DH on my opinion. Let's start ... DI: HALT: ORGANIZERS Initially, the organization of DH planned to attend all or nearly all of the city sinkleristy Dzerzhinsk (not Muhosranska as erroneously reported by some media, namely, Dzerzhinsk! ), But actually ... Here's the official spisochek those who actually helped the organization of DH: - Rental of premises: PKF LLP "Rico" DTK. Organism / EyeQ / # F0FF SLG Nuts - Advertising, propaganda, etc. Organism / EyeQ / # F0FF Time Keeper / MHCG Proxima Centauri Demiurge Ash UnBEL! EVER / XTM - Artwork and printing Time Keeper / MHCG Organism / EyeQ / # F0FF Mr.First / KZS / # F0FF Dark Horse SLG - Software support Organism / EyeQ / # F0FF Time Keeper / MHCG. - Ideology Organism / EyeQ / # F0FF Time Keeper / MHCG Mayor / PP - Subscription and maintenance Equipment Bear / MHCG Time Keeper / MHCG Independent Expert - Security iCe / PP Mayor / PP Woland / EyeQ / # F0FF - The party machinery Organism / EyeQ / # F0FF Time Keeper / MHCG Moonwalker / MHCG, Independent Expert Max KLM / KZS / # F0FF. Silent Coder iCe / PP Nuts - Physical force;) Woland / EyeQ / # F0FF Pestov Mayor / PP Nuts - Transportation Moonwalker / MHCG It is not difficult to see far not all the initially announced participated in the organization DH, but obviously the presence of people is not going to initially deal with it. Even SLG, previously extremely negative attitude towards DH, seriously helped to organize it! Why? Initially, personnel policy committee was based on pure enthusiasm, a lot later than early selection, or if you want cleaning ... Unfortunately, the organizing committee DH did not even have a formal chapter that, in my opinion, was the cause of all turmoil. There was not a strong man at the helm, able to suppress all but the insurgency and guide the work of the entire team at the right channel. Until this problem is not DH get up in front of us so badly, as later, at the very party, where a crisis of authority, but was too late to change anything. I I think that most, if not all ills DI: HALT'a occurred because of excessive democracy or, if you want anarchy organizing committee. DI: HALT: WORK Again, contrary to many gloomy forecasts, the work was given the fragmentation of scene in 1999, more than enough. Unexpectedly large interest were contests and ASCII CHUNK graphics, which is not the tricolor. Unprecedented for 1999 the number of demos at one party - as many as four pieces - Was a pleasant surprise for all those who love computer art. Unfortunately, many artists apparently inattentive read the rules by sending work not in the form in which we asked them to send. And the right to yet sent in advance, because or the day before the DH, or directly at party passed, which caused serious difficulties with the demonstration Some work and determination authorship. As for the 16k and 4k intro, then up to them and it does did not come, because we have not received none at all of these compo. DI: HALT: GUESTS Guests, unfortunately, was very small - only about 44 people. It would seem that with such a small number of people can maintain order and with minimal means. So it would be if would still have the so-called "Service Security "would be a little desire to do his business. Our valiant security have indeed been very busy some of my chores, so important that not even remember about their duties prescribed to them the plan of activities, resulting in Guests insolent and began to themselves rather obscene: (After party, we could see garbage on the floor,. txt and. W on the walls, empty containers under normal fuel'a space in the closet. In the early party guests freely entered into without an invitation DTK building, and since the Security Service at that time guarded not order, and their girl'ov, civilized sale Ticket failed to organize. Tickets purchased only the most honest and conscientious people in the number of which is clearly not part known group of Eternity Industry, whose members outright said that the victory will definitely be behind them, so the entry fee, they will not, graciously allowing organizers deduct the cost of their tickets prize money. EI'shniki apparently forgot that the prize money should have been collected through the sale of tickets for what it actually and evaluated. When he learned that in this case, the possibility of paying Winners of cash awards is a great doubt, EI immediately found themselves in opposition to the organizers mood, took their little hands prodigal upgrade Decor toilets and furniture styling through the marker. Were at HH and representatives of one of gruppveteranov, BeerMans, in bags whose mellifluous surrounding his melodic clinking vessels thus normal space fuel'om. At the end of the party, learn that they "draw" tricolor picture taken is not the first place, BeerMans showed their education, picturesquely crushing Tickets DI: HALT'a and no less picturesque sowing their sex, accompanying all this action is top of the page Rom ... On the basis of the above can make an interesting conclusion: The longer the group is on stage and the greater its advances in demomeykinge, the more so most low and immoral becomes its behavior on nity. Stsenovaya axiom Organism syndrome, or DR. For comparison: a relatively young group of Syndrome from Penza The Hot Heads and BrainWorld of Cheboksary and Proxima Centauri from Kovrov, so that there even is known for his aggressiveness Demiurge Ash behaved party is much more suitable, so We did not have them any problems. More to the word of BeerMans: tricolor image, which According to themselves BeerMans, should was to take first place, not not only is hand-draw'om, as has been publicly announced its author in the toilet, she, being, as did everyone else, the conversion, in addition also STOLEN! In fact, her drawn not Dwarf / BMZ, and Terror / HRz, and quite a long time and on Amiga! Here you have two clear examples that show the so-called "elite scene" in all its glory! DI: HALT: TECHNOLOGY All equipment for the party was almost forcibly collected from Local People. Connecting and maintenance of equipment but know Time Keeper and the Bear (both of MHCG ), And the Time Keeper was engaged mainly computers and Bear - Monitors, etc. These two men largely contributed to the emergence of all sorts of difficulties with technique ;-) Oh yeah, forgot to mention Independent Expert'a, koy repaired the same TV, so liked EI ... :) Total for use at the party were gathered: - 5 Monitor: Ice'n'green (exIce) / PP Moonwalker / MHCG Nuts Silent Coder Organism / EyeQ / ex # F0FF (rip) (One of whom black and white ...) - Two TV: Stone (exMr.First) / exKZS (rip) / / Ex # F0FF (rip) Time Keeper / MHCG - Three Pentagon'a: Organism / EyeQ Moonwalker / MHCG Time Keeper / MHCG - One Profi: Stone / EyeQ - Speakers S-90: (Oddly enough, the two o) Independent Expert - Amplifier Lortie (He pidsyulyuvach ;-) Moonwalker / MHCG Dear ladies and gentlemen of the above! Please accept my humble thanks! But I went off the topic. Contrary loud statement EI, configuration and connectivity technology, we engaged not in a day of party, and two days before its commencement, ie, on Thursday. Unfortunately, due to the laziness of our apparatchiks, the completion of connection and setting technique occurred in Night DI: HALT, witnessed what were the guests of Penza, slept in my humble abode. All collected equipment to connect failed, and the need for it was not. Thoroughly tested technology in a party Yet zaglyuchila :-( From glitches equipment especially need to allocate combustion monitor designed for a computer that should be used for The reception works, brought directly to the party. This monitor fed by 12 volts, and a brainy friend (not bu shall call his name) guessed turn it into an ordinary power outlet: (As a consequence this sad event, the registration papers was not the best manner. Of the more recent glitches it should be noted problems with the sound, namely the absence of one channel AY. Here we are again disagree with the "data" Buzz'a and HeresY, claiming that this bug was present from the beginning, but said his only Trivial / BMZ. This is doubly a lie: As you know, the author Mouzon Number 4, subsequently occupied the first place, Ice'n'green / PP was also present at the party, he is and first reported about the problems with sound _NO_ it was not a lack of one channel, but the its low volume relative to other channels. This bug has been Fixed immediately by us and Ice'n'green returned to his the place is quite satisfied sound. The hall was also attended by the authors of many other Mouzon, namely Time Keeper / MHCG, MoonWalker / MHCG, Bear / MHCG, Mr.First / # F0FF and others. By the above, I personally handled the issue of quality play their music on party and they all witnessed sound quite normal. Do not you think that the author does not can not treat the most critical way to quality playback of your music? In Anyway, so the absence of the channel's own music is not difficult to see, because in the not so AY so they and many :-) I want to say a few words on the visual media on party. It was originally planned to produce video could not be by chance - Dzerzhinsk Community Christian Church of Seventh Day Adventists, which was agreed to provide this device for party, sent it along with the mission to the Far East, and the man who sent the projector in this far just do not know about the pastor of the community's promise: ( Present at the party two Monitor and TV shows good image, but TV differed slightly gradations of brightness. Monitors, which, according to EI, showed with a "funky" quality and stood in inaccessible places, indeed showed very not bad (certainly better than TV ;), As regards the unavailability of their dispositions, we can say the following: for whom is not available, and for whom, and quite well, no wonder all the local housed just next to these monitors. Visitors who do not enough space around them, apparently, was simply jealous;) Both the monitor and still delight their master-quality color image: P DI: HALT: RESULTS The results came out, to say the incident. Recording the work and drawing up a list of them, Time Keeper / MHCG, as I said earlier, did not bother registering their authors, not only is composed of lists have been unconvincing and full of bugs. Thus, for example, lists graphics was struck several works, while maintaining the same numbering of the remaining works, so people who thought the results, made some mistakes, koii disentangle the present day :-( The results of the graphics compo, announced at the party, had been faithful only for first place (I was stunned order, seeing the results of the picture, drawn by the principle "is not important victory, and participation "in the second place). In the released soon after the party, official rezah were seen more mistakes. I will not go into details with _absolyutno_ correct results party you can find in the section of this Rooms VW. The basis for this confidence in their accuracy for us to serve those same discs with which was carried out demonstration work on the very party and vote-sheets. If you want to recalculate Results - for God's sake, the flag you in hand and a drum around his neck - Come and see the originals vote-sheets :-) In general we can say that I have serious doubts about the fidelity of the results of the same CC999, because, IMHO, quickly and correctament - concepts malosovmestimye when it comes to scoring demoparty. Consider the results (as well as general conduct demoparty) - is a complete Ass; try it and see for yourself ;-) Once again I want to remind all doubters that I have repeatedly expressed verbally: Neither I, and none of the other organizers DI: HALT does not aim to falsification of election results. High rating of work Dzerzhinsky, the authors explained no falsification of results, and presence at the party for almost all Dzerzhinsky sinkleristov, which, I dare you to see quite a few all of them - the patriots! Mr. Demiurge Ash, suspect us of remaking the outcomes for some mysterious persons who are not otherwise as Caucasian, should answer our simple question: "What specifically interests, and what specific persons? ". We look forward to hearing from our Kovrov hoaxer. "You're not in church you are not deceived ... " V. Ilf and Petrov "The Golden Calf" I'm a little left on the theme of the results toward a showdown with Ash'em, Why, of course, do not worth, At least for fear of re- damage has been normalized relationship with him, but I think, Ash forgive me, for my criticism of the his address was of a constructive character. A more detailed comments on the results of DI: HALT: 99 You will find the section with the very results. And here I go his analysis of no less acute subject: DI: HALT: PRESS O, yeah! That's where the buried rulez! But seriously, the lighting as most party, and its results can drive them the creeps even UnBeliever'a. What did not come up with our journalists. Wave total disinformation is not spared even such a serious publication as BornDead, and I'm already in horrified by the premonition that write in Scenergy # 2 figures in the EI represented by their chief gossip Dman'a, which, according to the Vel'a / PXM / CTL, wrote back a report on DI: HALT ... Frankly, we are in greatly contributed to the situation when a DI: HALT'e little that can be read okromya rumors, delaying Publication _istinnoy_ official information. Official information about the course of the party - thankless task, since all still believe it to anyone, not just the organizers, but to debunk some myths, leaked to the press, as well as expose some of the peace-doorball'ov (;-)))), we simply must. Let's start with the newspaper Insanity # 2, published by the group Light Future, which reports inter alia that the vote was ostensibly only on demo compo, all the remaining results should be obtained by universal virtual voting. Mother, where are you only have such information? Even funny ... By simply speaking, should have been held a second round of voting! VIRTUAL, which has nothing to do with the results party'ynogo! Publication of a Demiurge in HeresY is a lot to argue about but without challenging the views Ash'a I I want to protest against rude and boorish expressions this same opinion and distortion election results (that who falsifies the results! ;-). I plead with Ash'em ago has changed his mind, send it to the case. Newspaper Born Dead, which I I always try to read a whole and with due care (Attention to this issue certainly deserves), and I think stsenovym best publication in Today (Scenergy to it away), to my great Unfortunately, without checking on the validity of the proposed materials, has published a report on BeerMans'ovsky DH, containing such quantity of any kind bredyatiny what I have not met. BeerMans pose as kulestnyh scenery, down telling others about the noticed abuses of their rights on DI: HALT'e. Remember them in mainly his own works, but and glitches, they notice, too, to them. About how, in fact, was the case with the problems of sound I wrote above, but difficult to keep from laughing when we read statements BeerMans, that the problems always come back just when playing Mouzon Trivial'a / BMZ. Lord and can the whole thing sometime in Mouzon was that? Or in the amount drunk by you vodka? Even more ridiculous and a statement that because of problems with sound, of course, committed by bandits organizMatorami, under threat democompo and Special Federal Communications Commission on behalf of poor wretches, BeerMans'ov had "all the time to sit in the room and monitor the sound." End quote:) Where so without sound something right! Yes, and Mouzon something their notorious and trouble-free sounded not much, because it's not a masterpiece, kak ni kruti. With Mouzon this is another Hochma: BeerMans, apparently, so do not distinguished visitors party, and even all lovers of computer Art that does not consider a mandatory offer for _raznyh_ party, in _raznye_ years _raznye_ Mouzon! After all, the infamous A tale of my dream has already exhibited at E'97, and perhaps even on E'96 (E'96 about me, to Unfortunately, no data, but who knows? ;-). Very funny results party, which they lead, but here too, as they say, no comment, our fault. BeerMans, as stated by infoshka Deme them, more than six years of watching the scene. Be careful, gentlemen sceners how they would What bad things about you have not noticed, obosrut after all! And we also wish the BMZ and further monitor the stage and less of his prompter's box on her head down. I struck up something rout BMZ, and it is time to finish, but, yeah forgive me dear reader, long time since I have not seen people with such exaggerated conceit and so small (But proud ;-) conscience. Lord UnBeliever'u, I want to say the following: Max! What do you like me to fail quoted! But I, when he said that no one noticed, was not talking about the absence of channel and that had to remake stereo to mono and it does almost no one noticed (I myself in people and then asked). In general, your (Personal, not your BMZ-correspondents) about the position DI: HALT is completely objective and true, thanks! Still, one small complaint I have: Max! You accuses us lamerstve on Based on the fact that the Free Art in the collection is infected with "drunk gin. "But, pardon me, because it is you sent it to us, and exactly in the same condition in which it is in the collection and its loader took exactly 9 sectors, it means the virus (and therefore thousands sinkleristov, using your tongue) blessed it was you or someone before you. I this is a very well remember, the more that I have survived intact is that disk Printed MMA / XTM, for which thou sent me this DeMouy, plus ZIP-archive, where I drove it immediately upon receipt, and in fact in ZIP'e file could not get any swell! As for the fact that we are supposedly lamer, because it does not catch, I want to say following: I am not in the habit feel all send me software AIDS TEST'om, and provide could not imagine that someone could send job to a demo compo virus. This virus was not neutralized by the preparation of the collection only because we do not aware of his presence, for any signs of life he had not filed, the file size has not changed. And anyway, even though I often met both before and after with this virus, I never saw that he led anything on the screen, how do you describes. However, however was, the virus was still detected and killed long before you started yelling "Help!" the whole stage and in later versions collection of the virus was gone. And here's another funny newspaper - Buzz # 18 of Eternity Industry, whose contents shines a very original title: "di: kal'99". As you 've probably realized by this intriguing name is hidden next report on the hero of the occasion, ie, DI: HALT: 99. EI, likely to have tried hard, but apparently they are very tired after praising his own demos (I mean Of course Napalm), whose theme is widely represented in this room Buzz'a that simply could not write anything better than this morbid opus. What sees the inquisitive reader Buzz'a by downloading this article? Well, Firstly, it is again about Napalm'a upload, and only then proper point. Skip pictorial description of the sensations EI on the way to Dzerzhinsk and go straight to okolodihaltovskim events. Here EI for warm start to put pressure on us doubtful the quality of the paste from its tube gossip, saying that despite my oath, allegedly I expressed in my letter them shortly before the party, none of their not met. Dear (though no longer)! I seem to be quite clearly you wrote that meet you in person only if you let me know accurate information about the time of his arrival! I was even further indicated in a letter co-ordinates, including phone, but apparently Vel / PXM / CTL, characterized I EI as the most natural homeless beggars and jerking greed and unable to leave even a penny, was right, and EI prefer uncertainty calm assurance in a meeting as the call they did not even thought. In March, when We visited the city Carpet on a friendly visit, we had meet with the EI (in the literal sense of the word "had" to "We themselves need to communicate with thesefriends who, incidentally, is something we do not comrades who have not experienced, but EI, got wind of some anti-spyware ways of our arrival, not slowed down with his dramatic appearance in the number six (I think) people. ). During meeting, held not in warm and friendly atmosphere, was discussed and described above conflict. Point of view of EI was approximately as follows: "We have reported you the time of our arrival in advance, and now nehuy snitch! " (Sorry for cursing, but it could not be better reflects the tone of this statements). That can be answered to this? Friends, in my hands are now in the questionnaire and their EI application, which they sent shortly before the party. I allow myself something quote, namely sixth item questionnaire guest DI: HALT: 99, means information about the alleged time and manner of arrival of the filler in Dzerzhinsk. Questionnaires EI printed on a printer, so that it is likely that the original of these forms is preserved and EI can I check on it. Questionnaires EI are sheet of paper, divided signs "---< Cut >---" into several parts, each of which is a profile of a member of EI. However, we are interested is currently the sixth point for all the same and reads, verbatim: 6) 20/08/1999 in the evening or 21/08/1999 morning. On the trains! End quote. ? ? ? Gentlemen, are you like me to as the last homeless person, he settled at the station, scoring on everything else (the cases were plenty) searched all arriving trains, of which there are not so few, in search of your holy people? But in the end you came not on the train, while on the train, and someone after that did not keep the promise and tried otpizditsya? You there in Kovrov well to weave carpets, yes making vague allusions to the time and the method of his arrival, but then again and accuse us, that is not met. Incidentally, on the meet: Many publications (not just Buzz) touched on this topic. In infoshke indeed it was said that at the station the day of the party are agents committee, but in reality this does not happen only because we desperately enough people, and since those who the plan should meet Guests at the station, did not appear in Headquarters by the specified time, it was decided to entrust these functions by representatives of the group Syndrome (with their consent and desire, of course), spending the night in headquarters. As the building where it was rescheduled venue is bukvalno 20 meters from the places described in infoshkah, we considered it more constructively running around from station to place and again, trapping guests arriving at the old place, with what Syndrome'ovtsy quite successfully managed. Statement of EI that that they accidentally met Syndrome, causes I was mildly puzzled that k. Phantazm / SDM personally told I stood by with the rest (including EI) in the headquarters that Here they say, and we catch kovrovtsev brought here. Agree, it's hard not to notice the crowd of young people with badges in full voice talking to spekovskom jargon, especially if you know who are looking for. However, back to Buzz'u. Domusoliv topic roads and plugged Fountain of righteous anger at the lack of a limousine at the station, EI goes on to describe further events, shy but says nothing about how they generally were headquarters, if Syndrome'ovtsy were encountered by chance fellow-sufferer, throw bastards-organizers. Here fantasy Paracels'a candle leaves in the sky, causing we can observe with the naked eye "Tales of Brothers Kalinin, who I must say, little inferior to the Brothers Grimm. These wonderful stories, published in Buzz'e, intricately painted moral collapse organizmatorov, koi "plug and tuned the technique only day of the party ", held people on the street (Dubakov, February ;-) Almost two hours. About techniques you've already read above, and delay the start of party, holding people on the street, do not we just Dali - raging mob, armed with slices of watermelon and vessels with napalm otshvyrnuv the road vahtershu and Doorman, had embarked on the protection of state property, triumphantly marched in the room at exactly 10:00 am, covering the zeros of our "security guards", who looked at this mess square eyes, without trying, however, interfere with the perturbed proletariat. I remember the legendary "Red October" seventeenth year, the storming of the Winter. Protecting the palace, seeing the revolutionary mob, throws a temporary government to their fate, and only the Women's Battalion tried to show at least some signs of resistance. :-( Further in the text followed assaults on our "man with a microphone, Max'a KLM / KZS / # F0FF. Hitting, however, is fair. When I asked him to welcome guests and open the action, this dunce, confidently nodding to me, took the microphone and otmochite: Graphics Compo! ". We Jaws from such eloquent greetings and Max calmly got back its place in the organizational bed, where he continued to drink beer for a couple with Time Keeper'om. Ironically, the people hardly reacted to the such entry, apparently considering it an original and witty. What is suddenly happened with Max, who, as lead singer of a local rokgrupp, not the first time was with a microphone in front of an audience, find out it was not possible, because afterwards he carefully avoided this topic. Further, journalists Buzz'a obviously tired to dream and given a picture of the events, approximately corresponding to the real, not forgetting, of course, provide this picture of bright and beautiful (I would even say overly spectacular) details most of which has not been so essential in the reality their presents Buzz. Completion of the article is please hysterical EI, more similar to the cry, not to mention the name of their group next to "It". Please completely naive, since this article EI only stimulated these same references. As for me, You should read this whiny request, I want to say the following: EI can shit himself in hat, but I have mentioned, and mention Will mention the name of their group next to the "it", because such piggishness and arrogance bordering with a painfully exaggerated conceit, koi demonstrated by EI DI: HALT'e, I have not seen even BeerMans, and everywhere resent their own "steepness" Arty Noonzen / DR, must be jealous EI'shnikam, as against their behavior at DI: HALT'e, all his vygibony on FunTop'e and dances Jam'e look quite pale.
