The Action Party in Hopsten/Halverde
Author: Spider of D-TECT
Well,well.   It was a quarter past 5 in
the  evening as Conan of Celtic arrived
with  his  car at our house.  I entered
the  car  where  already some guys were
waiting.   We  were  5  men in the car.
Let's  see:  Conan of Celtic, Slayer of
Celtic,  Crown  of  Celtic, me (Spider)
and  one guy I didn't know (I think his
name  was Andy, or so).  It was a short
trip  from  Lingen  to Hopsten/Halverde
(it  took 40 minutes I think). I  don't
want   this   article  getting   boring
too  fast,  so  I'll  come to the party
itself.   We  had  to pay 5 DM entrance
fee  and  could  write our names into a
little   guestbook  (?).   Well  as  we
trembled through the pages, we saw that
no one interesting  was  at  the  party
(instead of us, of course, hehe).  Well
the  party  took place in a bigger part
of a tavern wich was obviously made for
wedding  partys  and  things like that.
After  a  short while of looking around
and  chatting  to  some guys we thought
it's  time  to fetch our Amiga from the
car.
Two   guys  of  Action   brought   some
new  tables  and we connected our Amiga
to  one  of  the power connections that
were  flying  all  over  the party room
(more to that later).  Well.  The Amiga
was connected (..:  Amiga, 2nd drive, 1
MB  and  a  monitor!).   Ok,  and  now?
Conan  put  in  their plasmatronic demo
and  we  enjoyed  it  quite a while.  I
walked  around  the  room  a little and
wasn't  very  pleased  from that what I
saw.   Ok,  some guys were coding quite
hard,  but  if  you  see the results of
hours  of coding, you may ask why there
were  so  lame productions (ok, most of
the  coders were lame, too).  But could
it  be  ?   Could  it be that there was
something  very  lame  with  the  power
connectings  ?  Nearly every 15 minutes
the  electric faded  away and  with  it

lots  of work (I know it from myself...
I  was drawing a logo for Vamps (hi Red
Baron!)).  And because of that, I think
lotsa  coders  had to forget some parts
of their demos because they had no time
to  redo  the whole shit.  Oh yes.  Ok,
maybe  it  was  well  organized (that's
from Conan...!), but nearly nothing has
worked  like  it  should do.  We didn't
saw  the demo competition, but we heard
the   first   4   songs  of  the  music
competition.    It   was   really   not
democratic,  because  you  could choose
your  own  song,  too.   And so not the
group  with  the best song won,...  NO!
The  group  with  the most members won.
What  a fair competition.  Well, forget
it. There were  no  real releases (what
did  you  expect  from an Action-party,
heh?), instead  of some  lame  demos of
course. Special  greetz  are  going  to
Flagg  and  Dust of Panic wich I met on
the   party, too.  I   didn't  copy  me
anything  else  than"Wings"and drawed 1
or  2  logos  (they payed 'em with beer
(!!!!)).    Conan  of  Celtic  said,  I
shouldn't  make  this  Article too hard
(HE said, the party was well organized)
and so I'll try to search some positive
points  of  the Action party....  eehm,
well...   the  beer tasted very good...
then..   let  me see....  Yes, at least
ONE     very    famouse    group    was
represented...    D-TECT  (ok,  ok  and
Celtic  of  coz).   After  the  first 4
songs  of the music competition we left
the  party  place  (as  told) and Conan
drove  us  to  our homes. And as always
the most played game was ....  guess it
...  KICK OFF II !!!  Ok.  This article
gets  longer than it was planned to be,
so  I  will stop writing bullshit about
bullshit (sorry Action, but tell me ONE
positive point of your party).
