Events - discussion of new rules FunTop98.

(C) WLODEK BLACK



   Greetings to all future participants, guests
 and fans! Here is a strict "Chest
 sign to the left - the work of Sergei Vasiliev
 (Aka Protein) / Iron Falcons from the city of Chernivtsi
 in Ukraine. This is the fourth emblem Festiva la, sent to the 
Organizing Committee. Work shall Xia and further, to create, 
send! 



  Following the publication of Nicron-e and ehokonferentsii 
ZX.SPECTRUM the final version of the Rules of submission of 
entries inflamed passions about certain points of law: in 
particular, violent attacks were 4K-Intro Compo and schedule 
pre-registration papers. Now we are in detail and specifically 
understand with the content of criticism, however, want to go 
see that the rules represent only a slightly revised version of 
the sample, published six months ago. Well, okay, attention and 
interest in "swinging" of May - so be it, well too :-)).


  At what pay attention "opponents"?

  Writes Artem Kharitonov of the creative team of "Digital
Reality ":" Do not forbid the use of music in the 4k,
this is a very original way, to recall at least OmniScent ... 
Music should be resolved. " 

  It looks like it or misunderstanding or ambiguity in the text
Regulations (although such reconcile ...). Attention everyone! 
Music in the 4K-Intro NOT PROHIBITED! Where it was once said 
that banned? It is said that at the exit jammed AY, and all! 
And on intro let go even though he arias from operas performed 
;-). In formulating the requirements for the intro, we 
(Organizing Committee) came from that intro, literally - an 
introduction to anything, and this "Something" would perhaps be 
loaded after the intro and maybe generally not associated with 
him in any way. Hence the wish: no destroy the system area, IY, 
IM 1 ... And AY - in the same bundle. That's all.


  Another letter came from the same member of the group "Digital
Reality "Alexander Grimalovskogo:" Yeah you know what, people, 
do you think about what you write? Who's this up - "The Last 
Day Registration papers - August 8 "? you look at the western 
party - Where it's kind to receive the work up to 2 weeks before

of the party? Yes, two weeks, many have not even taken to write 
demos:) and you have already closed their doors before the 
nose! ". 

  Here's another "stopudovo" misunderstanding! And certainly 
not our fault: the rules clearly stated that on August 8 to dem 
- the deadline for registration work, and not the back! 
Attention everyone! Even if the work is not ready yet, please 
register expected fact of its appearance in the FT, but the 
work itself, especially as Once the nomination "demo", you can 
take straight to the opening party! After all, and it is 
written in the Rules! Already 2 weeks, you will probably will 
be known and the name of your demos, and who does ;-))! A We, 
accordingly, will know how much we shall "come", therefore, how 
long they take, and in what form the ballot papers (vote-sheets 
;-)) typing ;-). This is actually seriously! By the same - and 
pay attention! - Nowhere is it said that the work did not take, 
if it will bring no registration! Cook tridtsatnik instead of 
20, and a flag in your hands, victory will be yours! ;-) 

  Finally, the digital music (digital, but not Reality ;-))).
It is unlikely that we will be able to make adjustments to the 
schedule of competitions. And will remain or not remain a 
reserve of time to demonstrate the digital tracks - it is not 
clear, since Rush of applications for participation in 
competitions will, obviously, immediately before the end 
declared in the Regulations pre-registration period of work. 
This is easily explainable, understandable and not causes no 
negative reactions from the Organizing Committee, but 
objectively can not currently say "Digital will not "or" 
Digital will be. "So, while saying:" Rather likely will not. 
"By the way, ehokonferentsii ZX.SPECTRUM funny adjoin the 
application type "Get digital!" and recommendations on how to 
tear this very digital with pisyuka! Do I need to be party to 
such, I may say, "work"? Let's look at that this year restrict 
the non-competitive demonstration digital works (maybe even 
with incentive prizes!), and then, as they say, "see." 

  Thank you all for comments and suggestions!
