Razor 1991 and Imp 666 party - main ------------------------------------ At the end of September, Imp 666 and Razor 1911 held a Amiga party in Arendal, Norway. We travelled to this party with no expectations. The main reason for travelling to this party was to have fun with cool dudes. We arrived at the party Friday. Only 60 people were present at that time and we thought " Shit, What are we doing here!" But things was getting better. 210 people arrived, but most of them were local lamers playing their game selection in A-Z order. But was there no cool dudes on this party? YES, a big thanks to these guys who made this party so fun: Andromeda : Enigma, Hydra, Dr. Jekyll, Mr.Hyde, Andy, Lord Interface Mage, Ralph and the rest PMC : Ramjet and Peter New wave : Bushman and Vimme D-tect : Phonebilly and Dark Dude Ex-Imp : Lord Assasin and Mr.Evil Razor 1911: Jawbreaker Other known groups who met up: Spaceballs, Symbiosis, Flash Productions and Motion The party was a disaster if you think of the amount of scene people who arrived and what the arranging staff did to increase the quality. Due to those people mentioned above, this party become the most funny party I have ever been to. There was one thing which was quite good. Downtown Arendal was just a couple of minutes from the hall. Every partyplace should been central. Too many times we've been promised things like 400 meter to neareast pizzaria, but then you reach the partyplace there is no sign of pizzeria. (read Amega Party). While we are at promises. Razor 1911 promised places to 1000 people. But everybody could see that 400 would be the MAXIMUM amount. But only 200 arrived, so what is the problem! Some competitions was also arranged. First a Twintris and Gravity Force competition who worked out quite well. The demo, music, graphic competition was dull. While the audience was waiting for show, the staff was looking for Protracker, Deluxepaint4 and Audiomaster3. They showed the graphics on a big screen which was so bad that even from 3 meters distance you would have problems to see what the pictures should imagine. Before the democompo Lord Assasin and Mr. Evil brought up some girls from the discos downtown to watch the demos. If they were impressed is another story. After the compo all people could vote. Votingforms was spreaded. The only bug was that everybody could deliver as many votes as they wished. I know a dude who delivered 8 voteforms!!! While the arrangers counted the votes as slowly as they could. The drunken Lord Assasin gave away sousages and coke for FREE. This was very popular ( he got thrown out of the cafeteria after some time!! ) Here is the results from the compos: Demos: 1. Andromeda (47 votes) 2. Motion 3. Talents 4. Symbiosis Graphics: 1. Morten/ Dexion (51 votes) 2. Ramjet/ PMC 3. Wimme / New wave 4. Enigma / Andromeda Music: 1. Mutant/ New wave 2. Peter / PMC 3. Deadline 4. Deadline After the compos there was a amazing Amiga 3000 show. Thanks to a dude from Triumph for showing us the capabilities of an 3000 . As always there are some people who can't keep their fingers away. This time Symbiosis lost a harddisk(A590). People who steals should have their fingers cut off... At the end nothing interesting happened so we left the party place. Next party I will attend is the X-mas party in Denmark. That party will be a must for a party freak!! Lord Helmet Razor 1911 and Imp 666 party -Motion ------------------------------------- Motion reached the second place in the democompo, and for that they got the amazing prize of 40 disks. We asked the coder of the demo (Blazer) ,if he was satisfied with the prize? - NOOO, I am not... This is the absolutely lamest party I have been to. The staff did not decide the prices before after the compo. If it was a group they liked they gave them a high prize. If it was a group that they didn't like, for example us, they gave a low prize. This is so unfair that I don't know wether I should cry or laugh. The winning demo got 1000 NOK. If I sold my disks I would get among 150 NOK. The first prize is about 10 times as high as the second prize. * If you had known the prices had you released your demo ? No, I had not. I would have stayed at home and not even giving this party a chance. * Did you complain about the low Prize ? Yes I did , but the arrangers said that they couldn't afford to give a higher prize. They had to pay for the school and so on. I guess that all the people who was arranging the party could at least put 1000 NOK in their pockets afterwards. * Another subject! Why did Motion draw logos all over the town ? I think this is brand fun. We like to be a bit grazy and different from other groups. * Did you know that your demo has several bugs. Oops, He had to leave for the train. we wish Blazer the best of luck with his demo coding and hope he can come back and win a BIG prize on a soon coming party. Razor 1991 and Imp 666 - Opinions ------------------------------------ Mr. Hyde / Andromeda -------------------- This party was quite funny. I actually liked it better than the Amega party. I thought that the Amega party was quite boring. But this one was funny! BTW, Would you like to have some sugar! (internal joke!) Pal / Razor 1911 ---------------- I know that I am one of the responsible for this party. But I have to be honest. I think this party was a BIG mistake. We had planned a better party, but of several reason this did not happen. We had hoped that more people should come. We had calculated with a amount between 300 and 400, but only 200 arrived. We are risking to loose money on this party. I agree with all who says that this party was a disaster. Phonebilly/ D-tect ------------------ This was not as good as expected. Too many local lamers. Now I can't wait to travel to the party in Denmark in X-mas.. That party will be the party of the year. Kingpin / New Wave ------------------ If it hadn't been for Joey/Imp 666 the party would be fine. He just fucked me off everytime I saw him. Bushman / New Wave ------------------ The party was OK, but too noisy. I would rather prefer to be at a quiet place. Like together with Mum and Dad a saturday evening. --- Ok, that was some different opinions from the party. This was the last article from this party. Lord Helmet
