»CL9:»SML:-------------------------------------- »CL8: »BIG:The unofficial invite text for »SML: »BIG:Compusphere X »SML:»CL9:-------------------------------------- »CL6: By Ash/Ward »CL1:(This is a short version, short as in incomplete... =) »CL0:* »CL1:Compushere X» - »CL1:Kinder X included» * As of now, you are all invited to visit »CL1:Compusphere X», well nearly all of you anyway... So, it's time to yet again enter the sphere, and this time it's Compuspheres tenth anniversary you're going to. The party has been going on for quite some time now, and I must say that it has gradually improved throughout the years. And to keep the tradition going, Compusphere X will be better than ever. Infact, it might become the best party in a long time. With the joint efforts of GI and Ward, and of course, all you out there. For those unfortunate enough to never have heard of Compusphere, let me offer you some guidance: Compusphere is a demoparty, and it's hard to describe what a demoparty is really all about, since that might change from one mind to another, but in our point of view it doesn't mean to have about 50% of the people just sitting playing quake. That would be a gamesparty... Sure, there might be a playstation or something rigged to the big screen at times, but no big network quake area or such like. Go to Dream Hack if you have to pay for wasting your time on that. We are not after getting people in just to get more money, we want to get the feeling right too. And in my honest opinion, gamers dont add much... During the years Compusphere has been know as, although sometimes poorly organized, a party which had a sort of old "scene" feeling about it. This year I and a few pals from Ward have been helping the crew to organize the whole thing, the result should be a party that not only feels right, but also flows smoothly. So if you have any bad experiences from Compusphere, just forget them, because you wont get any this year. The party is as usual held in Uddevalla in Sweden. It's a mid-size party, having capacity for about 600-700 people. Like all parties, it strives to grow larger, but this will be the limit since the hall isn't big enough for more people. And Yes, we will use the same hall as last year, but the prices will still be good. (see the compo section) * »CL1:What will happen there?» * Well, let's say that there will happen a lot of other things, but at the moment the only "unusual" thing that is really confirmed is that Amiga Internationals VD, Petro Tyschtschenko will be at the party during 30-31 October. *»CL1: Compos, it will be no party without 'em »* So what can you compete in, and what will you win? Amount of people at the party: Compo Rank 100 500 »CL8:[pc compos cut -ed.]» »CL1:Amiga demo» 1 3000 9000 2 1000 3000 3 500 1500 4 200 600 5 100 300 »CL1:Amiga Intro1» 1200 3500 2 600 1700 3 200 600 »CL1:4-ch music» 1 1200 3500 2 600 1700 3 200 600 Amount of people at the party: Compo Rank 100 500 »CL1:M-ch music» 1 1200 3500 2 600 1700 3 200 600 »CL1:Pixel Gfx» 1 1200 3500 2 600 1700 3 200 600 »CL1:3D Gfx» 1 1200 3500 2 600 1700 3 200 600 »CL1: Homepage » 1 1200 3500 »CL1:(html) » 2 600 1700 3 200 600 »CL1:Wild Compo ?» This is a quick summary on the budget so the prices might differ a little, nothing big though, maybe +- 200-300... And if we get a full 700 people, well, just count like this... 500+(500-100)=700 Which in the demo contests means 9000+(9000-3000)=15000... Wow, math can actually be fun sometimes... And of course, then there's hard- and software prices on top of that. There may also be additional compos on request, see our homepage for more info. *»CL1: What will it cost?» * The price is set to »CL1:250 SEK», but that will probably seem cheap in the end.. Girls will as usual enter free of charge, preferably with a computer of their own though. It is now possible to book a place at Compusphere too, as usual, check our homepage for more info. *»CL1: When will the party be held? »* »CL1:Compusphere X» will be held during the laps of »CL1:October 28» or»CL1: 29» to»CL1: November 1». Sadly enough this will create a conflict between »CL1:Compusphere» and »CL1:DreamHack», as it is held at the same time. This isn't good for anyone of us really, but we can't move the party and neither can they. But I do not believe that this will be a big problem though, since there should be enough enthusiasts in Scandinavia to fill both parties. And competition, after all, will only make both teams work harder. An word of advice: Dont book any party yet unless you're really sure about it. And if you should... Book ours.. =) Hmm, by the way, atleast I'm noble enough to mention their party. =) *»CL1: And where then?» * »CL1:Compusphere» is situated in »CL1:Uddevalla», which is a town on the westcoast of Sweden, about 80 kilometres north of »CL1:Gothenburg» and 450 kilometres west of Stockholm. It will be held in »CL1:Agnebergs-hallen», which is the same place as last year. Look at the homepage, it will include a detailed description on how to get there. (soon anyway) *»CL1: The organizers» * »CL1:The main organizers», the Galactical Institute, attends school in Uddevalla. All members of this crew are students of Östrabo, a school teaching natural sciences and specialising in Computer and Information technology. The co-organizers, Ward, are an Amiga based demo group spread out within 100 kilometres from Uddevalla. *»CL1: What's the URL?» * The Compusphere site are to be found at:»CL1: http://www.compusphere.org» *»CL1: Who do I contact?» * Regarding this text: ash@amigascne.org Regarding CS: info@compusphere.org Regarding sponsoring: sponsor@compusphere.org That's it!
