Event id #3294 : X-2024

I was having a discussion with a few guys over beers in X'2023 and the compos. I was telling about my days as OR8 pilot in the RC world where we had junior, hobby and pro categories for the races.

To make it abit more motivational the people/groups who aren't 20 members strong each with 30+ years of demo coding experience it might be worth while considering other options ?

eg. some of the ideas we discussed:

. Having a pro (ie previous winner category) and hobby section so that contributors are compared to peers of similar experience
. Splitting the voting/ranking for 1 filers from multi disk entries
. Newcomer award for those individuals or teams who never submitted to X before

First of all I LOLed a lot about that spider/macx story.

Having met macx right when arriving at the parking lot (telling me about underwater rugby in Luebeck still giving a pretty serious lecture and an almost sobre impression) and meeting him an hour later talking everybody into drinking Raspberry Schnaps to direct us faster to Valhalla was just wonderful. By the way, that Schnaps wasn't bad at all! Next time I'm gonna have more of it.

Lovely party! You are the best. The c64 scene is an ongoing Max Headroom incident and X is a peak to indulge.

I 2nd that.
Quoting 'Comos'

Psycho8580,TheRyk,Linus , that late evening Chuck Norris stuff was hilarious, lol :)

Erhm... Obviously I partied harder than I remember, but sounds like me/fun, so probably true story :D
Quoting 'Youth'

I'll say it again. X is the best all-inclusive mini-holiday I can imagine. Not just includes accommodation and food, but also non stop emersion in c64 stuff and being surrounded by supercool like-minded people and long-time friends. And so very well organized. Thanks a lot X team!

Every word of it is true. This year especially the food (in former years often a matter of taste/something whiners used to whine about) was really quite alright. Just saying, so orgas might serve the same menu in 2026.

Hugs to Burg, Tim, Oxbow, DJS, Dylotic, Mace, Mr.Ammo and all the people in the background! I've been attending for 12 years now (only interruption was pandemic), I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again: THIS party rulez! Just btw, nothing compares, but X also inspired me a lot as orga of our 50-100 people party BCC, acting and feeling a little like my X orga Heroes Burglar and Tim is always very motivating (especially when orga things don't work out, exploding toilets or power supplies and whatnot).

Cured my hangover almost completely (mostly by not overdoing the not-drinking part of the cure), all the memories will make me smile for the next 2 years and can't wait to nerd-party again with all you international crazy 8 bit 1337 bastards!
Cheers/Skål

That kid trident ...

Though all that followed was praise and we've had a nice talk at Sun morning, I've just learned that my wording doesn't make much sense as trident (though 3 years younger than me) was an active and productive scener in early 90s... (when lamer 1990s Ryk gave all my C= stuff away believing in Pentium is the future and needed years to get back on 8 bit track)

Sorry: Age does not protect against stupidity...
To be fair: Rather _I'm_ seriously the newcomer, trident is just an old comer who happens to be (and look) younger :D
