the translation is inaccurate in places, but, as it seems to me, I didn’t make any serious mistakes

 Opinion Poll (public opinion poll).

Once again, welcome to the Opinion Poll. Once again we
We present a series of questions asked to sceners from around C64-
communities by e-mail through mailing lists.

Magazines should try introducing a section like this
- it seems to me that this is a good way to find out the opinion of a big
groups of people about various aspects of the scene. Based on
percentages, we can, in principle, determine what the scene wants,
what he expects and believes in most...

Percentages were calculated based on the responses. Let's see
what does the stage voice say...

Question: do you think it is necessary to have intro before disk?
magazine?

Answer: yes - 30%
 no - 70%

Cactus/Axelerate/Samar:
"NO, I think there is no need for an intro before the magazine! It’s just
increases the log loading wait time. So I would even
said that it is better not to have any intro before the magazine..."

Wideload:
"No (they SHOULD NOT be there, but if there is room, then why not
no?)"

Neotec/FChcg/Padua:
"NO. An intro is not necessary, but a cool intro makes
the release is more interesting overall."

Jack Alien/Remember:
"No, because then you have to place it in front of the hacked game
intro.  The intro is just needed to show what group it is
represents a release or crack.  Previously, even system programs
released with an intro."

Gop/Onslaught:
"YES, it’s prettier this way, and the coders will work a little and the magazine will be
look much better."

From the editor:
I liked the intros before Domination magazine, maybe in the future I will
I’ll make it possible to choose: download the magazine immediately _or_ first
intro and THEN magazine. What do you think?

Question: Do you think the results of the competition are generally correct?
at stage parties?

Answer: yes -35%
 no - 65%

Case/FЧcg:
"For a very long time, many worthy participants have been in the very
end."

Raver/Phantasy:
"Depending on visitors, if they like any
work (even if slightly lame), then it cannot be bad.
More about the results and the party. It's a pity that after the party all the time
there remain incompletely counted votes and undistributed votes
work. Results where only authors are listed - sax! There should
be the full name of the demo, music, pictures."

Cactus/Axelerate/Samar:
"I think the results are often not fair. I have not visited
there are a lot of parties, but at North Party 4, it seems to me, the results
some components were determined before the competition... I know,
that it is impossible to prove, but then how do you explain that
nonsense and slow music from GRG+KR was the first, and
really killer melody by Daf only the fifth??????!!!!!"

Anonym/Padua:
"No, the results are neither true nor fair. Unfortunately, not so
it is noticeable that this happens due to participation in voting
non-SbH-people.   Especially after it turns out thatthe results of Mekka/Symposium 1998 could have been much better if
only C64 votes would be counted; I was very disappointed.
It seems like most C64 sceners like people
using the same effects every time."

Ninja/The Dreams/Tempest:
"For a very long time, many worthy participants have been at the very end.
Sad but true.  Voting on North Party 4 was completely
different."

Se7en/Digital Excess:
"I would rather say that "sucky jobs have been around for a very long time
ahead", although... it's no secret that I don't like 4x4 blocks and
full-screen effects, and this is what wins today on compos.
It’s quite sad that such works are NOT ONLY voted for
non-SBC sceners (who don't know any better), but also
a significant number of "C64 sceners".  While Dutch
Breeze is still considered one of the best (if not the best)
demo on C64, I don’t understand why the scene goes down to cheap
pisism (N: in the original pc-wannabeshowoff, I don’t know how it is
translate so as to reflect the essence of the concept, I think so
everything is clear (-: ), instead of doing one moredemo,
filled with beautiful graphics and design..."

From the editor:
I completely agree with Se7en/Digital Excess.  Why go to
about other platforms, if ours are fundamental
C64 roots.
