'The ECES 1991' arranged by Razor-Phenomena-Rebels and Conqueror & Zike, in Eskilstuna (Sweden). Well, this party-report was typed in by Tip and since I didn't arrange much at the party, I feel like I'll be able to write an objective report quite well. When we got off the train in Eskilstuna, we immediately discovered a lot of paper-sheets on every wall (concerning the ECES, how to get there etc.). One could dial a number to the party-place to be picked up, or simply walk the (approximately) 1000 meters to get there. At the party-place, a long line of people had already been formed. but as we were a part of the staff, we slipped through in no time. (!) Anyway, we took a quick look at the whole party-place (a school, by the way) and it actually seemed like everything stated in the invitation wasn't just false promises! There was a cafeteria, arcade games, video-screen (even working!), a big hall (with 598 places!) and the rest... Yup, I must say that the main-organizers had done a terrific job! Their names are indeed worth mentioning dozens of times: Ziphoid - Nick - Mr.Gurk - Zaxxan - Zike - Conqueror - and probably some others too. Well, the big and only let-down was the people that showed up. There were not any famous groups at all (perhaps some.. the organizing teams..)!!! That, of course made the party-atmosphere slightly dull. (Pha-Rebels-Razor had fun, anyhow!) For those who wanted something more than just the party, there was a porno-show downtown! Also there were lots of drinking in Eskilstuna (alcoholics everywhere...)! What more happened? erm.. Rebels-Razor-Pha were supposed to release a party-slide, but due to confidential circumstances, the slide never got ready. We'll release it later... (anyhow, I think it has been released by now!) Hmm.. perhaps we should get over to the competition details, as I fear this report is getting dreary like... HUMPA! There were several compos arranged! (naturally, the organizing-teams could -NOT- participate!) For instance an IQ-competition (put together by Zike (?)), which consisted of some 'questions' of various kinds. For the average mass, I gather this compo was pretty difficult, therefor the low amount of participants... (were you too dumb??!) However, the IQ-compo was won, rather superior, by --) Ted/Defjam! Way to go!!! Frankly, I don't remember what prize he won... (sorry, but I was kinda' 'knocked-out'...) There was also a 'real-time-demo-compo' arranged. to explain further about this original contest, I can say that one was only allowed to code during a certain time-range at the party. So, the standard of those demos weren't too high, nor were the prizes. Well, the rankings in the 'real-time' compo was as follows: (1) Panic (2) Oxygene (3) Aurora. Nothing special at all... and in the 'BIIIG' competitions, the results were: *Demo* (1) Dual Crew (2) Silents (3) Voice *Gfx* (1) Iridon/Shining (2) Red Baron (3) Marten & Will (?) *Music* (1) Chris/Toxic Waste (2) Dreamweaver/Aurora (3) Misty/Shining. I'm sorry if I got any names incorrect, but they were given to me by lots of different persons. (Those I didn't catch myself, that is.) Erm, well a few comments about the winning stuff ought to be said, I think. In my opinion, the so called demo-compo, was rotten! Not the organizing, that was good, but the contributions... For instance, Dual Crew won 5000 SEK (approx.$1000) with an (swooow!) intro!!! Isn't that something?! And Silents were no.2 with a dentro.. I guess that speaks for itself eh?!! The demos were judged by a jury, and the results were fair. But I mean, 1st prize with an intro is just too much. It was as Mr.Gurk said: '5000 SEK for an intro, that is pretty well-paid. Maybe I should start making intros myself...'. Hmm.. The best compo was, without doubt, the gfx-compo, which held a very high quality! Uno/Scoopex got no.4, that says a whole lot, or what?! Hmm, what more to say about the ECES? Not much, I think. A normal party with great organizing!!! Perhaps another ECES will be held.. Who knows?! Last but not least, the organizing teams would like to send out their warmest fuckings to all the filthy swines that helped with the soiling of the party-place.
