Invitation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the right time, at the right place.. Bang! We hit the nation with the
third annual Icing party. This time with some major changes in both the
board, staff and attitude. Unless you happen to be located in some faraway,
sunny country - don't miss this opportunity to meet your old friends, get
some new friends, and have a helluvatime.
WHEN?
14 - 18 of June, 1997
The doors open at 14:00 the 14'th,
and close at 10:00 the 18'th.
WHERE?
In Vättlehallen, Stenkullen
(A suburb of Gothenburg, Sweden)
HOW MUCH?
200 SEK at the door, 170 SEK in advance.
Please see the end of the page for information
regarding how to pay in advance (Swedes only).
Girls do of course get in for free!
HOW TO GET THERE:
- CAR -
If you're travelling by car, take the E20 towards Stockholm or Göteborg,
depending on where you start. When you reach Kastenhofsmotet, leave the
highway and follow the signs saying "Stenkullen". Having arrived at the
center of Stenkullen, turn left into the street called Gråbovägen. After
about 300 metres you have Vättlehallen, the party place, on your right hand.
- TRAIN, BOAT, PLANE. -
When travelling using any of these vehicles you should get to Göteborg as a
start. If you are one of those rich chaps or maybe a bit lazy, the right
thing for you to do is to call for a cab and make the driver follow the
description above. The other alternative is to locate Centralstationen, the
main (and only) railway station of Göteborg and catch the local train
towards Lerum. Get off at Stenkullen, the first stop after Lerum. Proceed
straight forward on foot about 250 meters and you face Vättlehallen, the
party place. Signs in the surrounding of the party place will guide you;
you cannot virtually fail to find Icing '97. If you still do, just ask some
nice-looking fellow to explain the way to the icehall "Vättlehallen".
- IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS -
There are several ways for you to get in touch with us.
First, there's the homepage at http://www.one.se/icing
And, there's the mailbox at icing@one.se
BUT, if you should be one of those unfortunate souls to lack internet
connection, there are two more solutions (though they require you to be
able to use a phone.)
Dial Liket (Leif Claesson) at +46-31-466403, or give Dr. Günther
(Fredrik Arenhag) a ring at +46-31-184404 or +46-301-19185.
If you happen to be a concerned mother, wondering what your son is up to,
then don't hesitate to call. We'll be glad to straighten things out.
- FÖRHANDSREGISTRERING / BETALNING -
(för svenskar)
Varför förbetala?
Lägre pris!
Att förbetala sparar oss administrativt arbete, samtidigt som vi får en
aning om hur många som kommer. Trots att inträdet på Icing är knappt
hälften av vad andra stora partyn tar, blir det ännu prisbilligare att
betala i förväg - 170 kronor i stället fr 200 vid dörren.
Snabbare inloggning!
Om du förbetalar med postgiro, och sedan skickar oss ett e-mail
innehållande viss information (se slutet av sidan), så blir
inloggningsproceduren betydligt enklare. Allt du behver göra är att knappa
in betalningsnumret på postgiroblanketten, visa oss kvittot och sedan är
det bara att gå rätt in!
Garanterad plats!
Icing är inne på sitt tredje år, och har blivit mer och mer populärt för
varje år. Eftersom vi i år har ett datum som passar det flesta, i
kombination med vårt numera goda rykte, finns det en stor chans (risk) att
det kommer mycket folk. Genom att förbetala garanterar du dig en plats
eftersom förbetalande har företräde.
Ekonomi!
Trots att många av våra leverantörer gått med på betalning helt eller
delvis i efterhand, så finns det dock leverantrer som vill ha betalt i
förskott för sina produkter (exempelvis Jolt och Bigscreen). Genom att
förbetala underlättar ni vårt samarbete med våra leverantörer, vilket i
sin tur kan leda till lägre priser för er!
Hur registrerar man sig?
Enkelt. Gå till närmaste postkontor och skaffa en postgiroblankett. Skriv
ditt riktiga namn, ditt handle, belopp (170 kr) och betalningsmottagare
"Icing'97", nummer 142 78 92-3 på blanketten, och betala sedan i postkassan.
Enkelt, va =). För att göra det riktigt enkelt för dig själv vid ingngen
kan du dock göra en sak till:
Skicka ett e-mail till icing@one.se med följande information:
Betalningsnumret på postgiroblanketten
Ditt namn
Ditt handle
Ditt telefonnummer
Din e-mail address
Din ålder
Din adress
...och din datortyp.
Genom att göra detta slipper du allt knapprande vid ingången,
eftersom vi då har all information redan.
Glöm inte att ta med kvittot till partyt!

- COMPO RULES -
All compos except graphics will be taped on Hifi-VHS or SVHS!
All compo organizers are anonymous.
All compos involving executables should run in 50hz native. Using LikTwiik
is an easy way to achieve this. If they don't, we'll run it with the 50hz
driver GA.COM.
[Common]
All contributions must be delivered to the info desk before deadline!
For demo and intro contributions, at least one person of the group must
be present. For all other contributions, everybody involved in the making
must be present.
Late entries may be negotiated with the concerned organizer.
We default to spreading all contributions. Talk to the warezdood for
exceptions.
- VOTING RULES -
The voting will be done by networked computers, which will be placed at
convenient places throughout the hall. You will choose a voting password
when you log yourself in at the entrance.
- NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE! -
It is *strictly* prohibited to use another person's voting login/password.
Any attempts to do this will result in the person concerned getting his/her
entry disqualified, as well as being dragged to the stage for public
notification.
In addition, any person giving his login/password to someone else has
forfeited his/her right to vote.
We have set these rules to provide a fair chance for all competitors,
and we expect them to be followed. Don't push your luck.

All contributions will be played with Cubic Player / ProTracker
The amiga protracker has a bug -- there is no such thing as no looping.
The amiga loops the last two bytes of every sample whether you like it or
not, which means that modules made on PC often sounds crap when played on
amiga. However, the PC can play amiga modules =). Anyway, we have received
quite a few complaints from amiga musicians who want their tunes played in
ProTracker, so we decided to let the musicians choose. This has been made
possible by pre-taping the music compo.

Maximum size 1mb, and maximum length is 3 minutes.
All contributions will be played with Cubic Player unless you have a good
reason why we should tape your tune from your computer.
