Yeah, it was fun again and we need 90 more X to get 100 full.
Poo-on-a-Stick is so.... Lovely to kill rats.
No complaints.
But the deadlines should be on thursday and nobody should be
allowed to code, paint or edit sth during the party.
Only BOOZING ALLOWED! |

It was again super awesome. I expected a lot of releases but not quite as much. And the fact that there were some non-sceners and also sceners from very far away was very cool.
Can't wait for the next X :D |

The party was awesome!
I really don't understand all these nagging comments.
Yes, I had to wait a few minutes sometimes for my beer. That was no problem, it was an great opportunity to chat up with others and meet new folks that were waiting too! And after all, I could have gotten more beers than I could handle. So the waiting part wasn't annoying at all, it was fun instead!
Keep in mind the organization consists of volunteers. They're no pro's and did a hell of a job. I even like it things aren't working out smoothly all times: this keeps me aware of the fact the party is organized by sceners in the first place, not some commercial and profit making company.
Please keep in mind too that the crew (like 10 people I believe) had to manage all kinds of stuff while 230+ others just are consuming and enjoying. I wonder if everyone is aware of the effort that has to be put in the organisation.
For 80 euro's this party is a bargain. Beds to sleep, beverages as much as you can handle and a great atmosphere during 2,5 days.
Organizers, please don't let the nagging you get to decide to quit organizing X-parties! I and many others say that this was perfect! |

Quoting DaTuckerall these nagging comments I for my part was merely giving some feedback. No nagging involved. |

I really liked the party place. Thumbs up to the organizers and visitors. Nice meeting you all! Amsterdam was very nice too, just a little bit too much of Dutch Breeze for me. :) Respect to those who'd travelled all the way from USA and Australia. |

Yep, that goes for me as well. Having read the comments after my post yesterday I am a bit at odds with what people claim as nagging (if they refer to my post, that is). Some seem to take what was meant as constructive critique towards an already awesome party as an almost personal insult, immediately going into defence-mode on behalf of the organisers.
Well, you do not have to. I am passionate about them all and the effort they put into the party. It is an act of c64love2 this beauty of a beast.
It is possible to totally appreciate the awesomeness of X and at the same time mention a few things to keep in mind when organising another party. We are grown ups and can discuss, everything is no longer black and white as in the war between WCC (yeah!) and SCC (bläh!) :-). |

@macx: While you are right in theory, you are wrong in practice. As an organizer, you're so tired and worn out the day(s) after the party so you just give a shit about constructive criticism, i.e. whining about obvious details that you are already too well aware of. You yourself may rather be surprised that the whole place didn't explode or so. ;) 3.867 days after the party, it is more than ok to provide some constructive criticism though. :)
Well, I exaggerate of coz, and a whole lot too, but I just wanted to bring that aspect in. :) |

Frantixxx: I hear what you are saying and agree. I spent a few hours with Niels on the airport after the party and I sure as hell reassured him of the supremeness of the event while he told me about all the hard work put into it.
The thing is that the complaints about "nagging" here does not come from the organisers, but from other people (which I was trying to point out two posts ago). And to defend myself I still see my post from yesterday as way positive with some minor thoughts of what could be improved. Next time I will wait a few days or just shut the fuck up (and hope that trolls here will do the same). |

@macx. sure.. and in any case, if I remember correctly, you even pointed out explicitly (in your initial post) that it was just some feedback basicly or so, so I agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. :)
(Although I do suspect that those who label posts like the one you wrote as "nagging" do it precisely because of precisely that worn-out-organizer-syndrome..) |
