Symposium Party Report
Written by Magic of Nah-kolor
Proloque
Where can we, as loyal passionate
Amiga sceners, get our core scenish
needs fullfilled anno domini 1998 ?
In a huge, half empty hall dominated
by persons who have nothing to do with
Amiga demos and only play games? I
don't think so! For a scene party to
establish and symbolising a good name
for itself takes atleast two maybe
even three years. That's why the
Symposium & Mekka organisation have
done a great job in realising a scene
party which brings back the scenish
flavour, the old skool atmosphere in a
long weekend during Easter. The
orginizers have connections in the
Amiga scene which already makes sure
of some hot releases, and with their
good name built up by the last three
editions we are in for a real
hangover.. One of the best demo
competitions in quantity and quality
since years!
Let Me Entertain You..
During the 4 days the party was going
on, we could witness several sceners
at the IRC who could bring the latest
news of the party.
The number of persons visiting came
close to expectations. "There are
about a 1000 visitors" Acryd, a nice
scener tells me while the Amiga demo
competition is running. There are a
total of 15 demo entries.
"Amongst others Haujobb, Venture,
Scoopex, Abyss, Lego,Art work competed
in the demo competition." Acryd
comments, and continues "And ofcourse
Antibyte had a 40kb intro ready in the
Intro competition"
The party network sometimes worked,
sometimes it didn't, but there were
few people online at a time, compared
to The gathering 1998 which was going
on at the same time. There network
was available for alot of people who
visited.
Another End Of Another Era!
A scene party usually gives sceners a
chance to discuss certain matters of
new members or starting a new group.
Famous musician Virgill had agreed to
join Haujobb at the party, where he
came home from 1 day early because of
a major hangover. As he commented at
the IRC. But the most catching news
of the weekend, and I am sure of the
year is that ARTWORK has been
officially announced DEAD! "Artwork
just lived too long" Azure comments
when asking him. "Our Artwork
MegaDemo IV 2 released at here at the
Symposium is the last Artwork demo
ever" he continues. Quickly I asked
some other questions. "Will you join
another group?" I hastly ask.
"I think so" Azure says. But only
one minute after Azure corrects this
sentence "I will not join another
group"
Artwork dead, another era has ended.
A last question popped up in my head.
What about Generation, will this
magazine die aswell after issue 26?
Afterall Artwork could have been the
motivation for the people behind it to
continue the magazine. Azure: "I
don't think so, afterall Generation
never was a ATW-Demo if you know what
I mean.."
Epiloque
And so another hot weekend ended, one
that symbolises the first half of
1998. With two major party's in one
weekend. Mellowchips of TRSI won The
Gathering 1998 this year after two
years of TBL dominance. Yet TBL won
the 64kb intro competition at The
GAthering 1998. As for MS'98 results
they aren't known at the time of
writing this report. But Acryd
comments:
"My guess is 1. Haujobb 2. Scoopex
3. Abyss" So let's see if this
forecast comes true..
