... ASCii'2001 demoparty Report ...
$% Surv! V0r, 2oo1
There is the Russian word with a very global importance -
the word this, unfortunately, slightly almost forgotten in its
original sounding and therefore more readily employed in
ironically prinebrezhielnom sense. Charity
Public blagotvoritelnost ...
Two roots: 'do' and 'good'. Possible way: philanthropy -
philanthropy, their occupation.
What kind of activities are unlikely to need detailed
explain. I just want to remind you that this sort of activity
available to absolutely everyone, starting with a small child
and not limited to no one.
In my narrative thread of the presentation held on the way -
started from the very party, as it proceeded and what its
results.
Who believes that each party is strictly held to its
and opening up to the final delivery of diplomas, the deep
wrong. It is no secret that that moment, the words of the famous
Russian song mezhdu past and future, referred to in this
case 'party', preceded by a multitude of problems - to solve
that still apparent half done, because nobody can
predict for sure how it was formed that same event,
around which the forces involved more than one dozen people. A
Suddenly everything fails?
<...>
... Somewhere More autumn of 2000, being at Steep ^ X-Team
for a glass of coffee, went to a pretty interesting
conversation about stoitelstve partmitingov for close to our
hearts Speccy.
The conversation was long enough, given that the schedule
Earrings and quite cruel to my free time, yet
something we have been able to discuss and make far-reaching
conclusions. Subsequently, I have not remembered the
conversation on this conceptual kitchen.
At the threshold of a virtual party of Final Shoque'2k,
raznezhennye sweep past cc000, the question arose -
how so, because we in Izhevsk and the District of quite a lot
spektrumistov. Go to Peter can really afford
not everyone even if they wanted, and not only in connection
with material condition, but by the so-called reasons beyond
its control. How can that be then?
Spectrum in Izhevsk Glazov, yes, even just in blizlezhayshih
areas alive, but all active spektrumisty each other in the face
know is not always and not all but a thirst to learn and share
new sometimes valuable information on your favorite platform
is, and it must be any way to quench.
Variant of the so-called 'virtual party'
was initially excluded, because not everyone has yet
another unique opportunity to use your network space.
Moreover, the skinny wallet Soros somewhere pozakryval
free access to the web.
Again, as noted above, has already passed the collection of
works and agitation in the network for Final Shoque'2k,
nominations which were focused only on graphics. Create the
same new virtual party in a big way a few nomiatsy in Izhevsk
in fact, it was possible, but should I? - If much more usefully
with due diligence can immediately try to aim a blow at the
of reallife, rather than virtual party, especially because of
the CTL received preliminary information that they had
conducted immediately after FS'2k new and already another
virtual parties.
And so it turns out that in the absence of live
opportunities visit the real living Spectrum events, the people
was breaking into virtual cabal. And it is also true.
Similarly, already and I do not remember - when was quite
stubborn and supported by many facts rumor that party Spectrum
directions will be held in Izhevsk. But believe it or even
taken as a serious these data was initially
difficult for everyone. However, nothing is impossible. X-Team
took over the organization, assuring me that what was promised,
though the three year wait, but in this case, these same three
year pledges turned in three fleeting months.
Only just begun to unwind Server Power Of Sound Web
Team, ousting Scenergy Web; yet no one really knew nothing about
spektrumistah Izhevsk and blizlezhayshey districts, such as
information Support is only incipient party soon manifested
itself know.
The most interesting thing started at a time when it became
known the existence of two versions of a style magazine
Ultimathum # 1 by Tetra Russian Group.
The first version was intended for the whole world, and the
second version was distributed to a limited range of
spektrumistov and contain information about date, place and
rules of the party under a strange name Agressive Super Compo In
Izhevsk. The name is quite consistent with brainy
organizing thoughts.
I still do not know initially whether the name was chosen as
abbreviation 'ascii', and then decrypted or vice versa,
simply by coincidence, obsotyatelstv. But one of the words
necessarily have to be replaced by the 'spectrum'. Thus the name
Computer has become synonymous with the word 'super'.
After getting acquainted with the advanced rules, it is
absolutely do not understand what was happening began to
investigate.
Already the mere fact of ghostly hangouts spektrumistov
put me in a quandary. On the one hand, our
country is rich in pioneer and on the other - will be decided
whether somebody actually exhibiting at the party, even from
local, not really Being on any party, except its like Random
Chaos?
Asked a couple of dozen questions to the organizers, I was
faced with literal statement that 'everything that is written in
regulations will be implemented. " Even on the most sensitive
issue - Will those same demos that were added this title
heavy label as 'demoparty', the answer sounded positive.
Steep said something like: '.. we write DeMouy, incidentally,
not Once we are alone, and more ... here - yet you write '.
Yes, there only had to wait in order, as the whole, in fact, a
story.
The original date of the party suffered as much at 31
March. Firstly, something is not kleilos the placement, the
people simply did not have time to do everything by the
deadline, and, perhaps, the most important and secondary causes
- education, tails session and just laziness.
All feature the postponement of the horizon was limited to
the following things. First, X-Team and Hoax misled
the people of those rules that were napridumany, resulting in
all those who wanted to expose the so-called 'Animated demo'
should were in the original version of the feed, ie hang
somewhere else. Therefore, the activity met
rules of mass sharply diminished from zero to minus one.
General Discussion disavow the rules took Himik. He made it
clear organizers that their place in the auditorium, but not at
the helm partmitingov. Himik require the transfer of party, so
people, I stress - local lamer, newcomers and others, in the
kerf what is happening and tried to make something to March 31.
Secondly, these rules are very few people have seen ... because
invitation dentro was done too late.
The idea is that the whole report was supposed to write a
detailed details of any of the direct organizers. My
same presentation more like a subjective opinion. It would be
more true, if one day all the same to create an alternative view
to the events described ...
By March 31, our city crawled with a decent ball
Spectrum characteristics of life, which unravel and
upcoming scheduled day and time.
On Friday, 30 numbers, not knowing that someone
Glazov of my countrymen will arrive in Izhevsk, I find
that two representatives of the underground scene spektrumoskoy
profit still on a passing flight and settled in an apartment
Vage ^ X-Team.
I was very intrigued by it, because until
until I saw arrived I could not say - whether from the 'us'
deme to the party or not. Ten minutes later, it appears that
profit Screamer and Stingrey ^ GPC. The mood was rising rapidly
quickly. At the apartment and Vage'a Steep'a reigned <mess> ...
Of course, what else can be exchanged views and
impressions of the scene, generally Spectrum between these
fans of his case. Seeing that the deme of Jumble still
is because prefabricated fetched, with a clear conscience
looking for some conversation about the upcoming day is no
longer in such gray inks, I saw some time ago.
Morning of March 31 began with the fact that crushed the
evening fine-tuning to the mind of his demos Quarantine,
Screamer, Stingrey and I went to greet arriving in Izhevsk
Spectrum folk. That means to arrive at the venue on time? To
us, it was the fact that we found ourselves at the bus stop
Troy front of the Cathedral Alexander Nevsky for 2 mimuty
before the arrival of the bus. From this crept into the frosty
air Psychotron, Stigma and Peas.
An hour later the maddened crowd stood on the fifth floor
before door of the house where lived Steep 'Vage ^ X-Team.
Neither one nor the another house just was not there. Instead,
they met us friendly maman, has offered to go and treat with
tea. Was would be not bad, but we refused. And rightly so,
because Vage went to meet at the railway station of CiC
Tchaikovsky Perm region. And there were no less than us -
crowd. :)
As Lenin said - we go the other way. And indeed,
We went house to Himik'u. From the outside it might look
something read - imagine a frosty, sunny morning
When passers-by units, and the whole street blocked the crowd
gorlopanov somewhere coming from Sumar food and drink.
Himik was at home. Five minutes to pack, ten for breakfast,
thirty by the conversation and they all went straight to
partyplace.
Although I was quite a long time in the Club of young
technicians, but I was unexpected that it coexisted with
Spectrum gaming lounge and the whole class pc'kov.
While Himik discussed with the Director of the Club details
upcoming party, X-Team preparing party apparatus. But
drag it into the second building organizers flatly
refused. This is another minus organayzerskuyu resourcefulness
X-Team. I personally carried a monitor and a component of a
computer ... Everything Else iron was dragged to his home, ie,
newcomers, not direct instigators of the party.
But my mood is not spoiled, because the key person at
party was not Steep ^ X-Team, and not even Vage from the same
team, and Himik ^ PoS-Wt!
Why? Let me explain.
While organizers have called somewhere were treated
Chaika, the hall was not one of them, and those who were -
registration and work to organize preselekt failed! Nobody
was doing it!
In order not to waste precious time, Himik forty
minutes shaped party play list, copying graphics, music,
demos, issued registration kartichki in general - really
held party! Even broadcasters no X-Team mouth open
and utter a few sentences is not resolved. For all the talking
again PoS-Wt!
All components were stroke for a few hours. Moreover, I
first saw that the people did not come out during the music
compo at street or even from the audience. Tactical move was
welcome present, all sit in their seats and begin with
music compo. Listen to everything, and so it is on music compo,
I think there was some unfair voting because
After each job sounded insistently - to set points, but not
walking around the room.
As for gfx compo. I have not made a no results, and
small amount of work. I can not add more.
In the breaks the hype caused the wholesale price of the
newspaper 'Passage' representative who spoke Stingrey ^ GPC. In
addition, a pleasant surprise for me was the presence in the
party Excess Team. Many have not understood that the party
visited enough well-known personality on stage, not just the
local youngsters. Not missed a rare opportunity to talk with Zk
System and Lasoft'om, were able to ask them some questions
Screamer, Stingrey, I am. All recorded on tape, but with a
video camera was running one of the X-Team. Videographer from
it is almost zero for Except, perhaps, that managed to
memorializing monologue Himik'a, which became the backbone of
the movie about the last party.
Handing tal warts, banknotes and thanks passed
Interestingly enough ...
It is still not clear - who saw the results on the party
place and Why, suddenly, they are different from those
postparty results. Argument X-Team is that they believed the
results are not in already placed balls in a piece of voting,
and in the column 'location' which indicated the place on which
the opinion of the voter claims work. The question is, why then
was introduced Count 'points'? It is not clear. The second
point - all the sheets for printed ballot for some reason the
day of the party, and not advance. Moreover, before the party
revealed their acute shortage of that delayed the opening of
the meeting still for thirty minutes ...
But consider awarding valuable find appreciation for the
participation. I was very pleased to receive it.
Also, the death gratefully received Ded Smirnoff ...
It is a pity that he never see it again.
Results.
Party was two-headed leadership. One head - PoS-Wt,
another, smaller head X-Team, and both head somehow
nestykuyas with each other do what I saw fit. But
while seemingly everyone looked properly. Whom no
demand - everyone enjoyed it, except that the above
heads. It would be nice if they were aware of their mistakes,
and so better take into account the experience nakolenny other
party, and all the time people stepping on the same rake with
sound, light and ballot.
Why do I say that ASCii should continue?
Dictated by the need for this unmet need
Local spektrumitov organized to meet and see
stsenovye work, just to talk. After the party me many
came up and said that all the shortcomings, party a success. AND
I share that view. Is it bad that was represented as much as
four demos, and intrigue between them was real hard, because
most in the room were tuned to vote for Fucking
Life ^ Brutal Creators, but eventually won Quarantine as a
product stsenovom most advanced in respect of the authors.
After that, even thought that in some way Ascii
like Funtop'98, when the main intrigue in democompo
developed between plot demoy Forever by DR and energetic
Code Refresh by Extreme; in our case, roughly the same
even much like, if we take into account that in Quarantine
used some of the procedures of the Exploder'a. :)
It is not clear - when, but now on behalf of the PoS-Wt
have all Arguably, that party in 2002 will again
organized and conducted in Izhevsk is the direct
participation of the entire PoS. It is not excluded that there
will be cash and sponsors that will lead party in a more
qualitative new level.
It is not known whether the party wearing the old name or
otherwise, but what PoS-Wt awaits your comments - no doubt. C
particular interest are waiting for input from the nearby
spektrumistov regions, especially since the local nature of
party wear is no longer be. Glad to see you all again!
The first pancake is to be lumpy as dokazala ASCii'0001.
We'll wait for the second pancake, where there will be Russian
cakes ...
