X2008: no bed?
What basically has happened here is that the organisers have overbooked the event.
1. The website promises for 70 euros we get a bed, shower and food.
2. The website urges to register early, to be sure of a bed and not be denied entrance at the door.
Now, I get an email today in which these clear rules were changed during the game. (you don't do that)
Now, my registration does not count any longer, and beds are distributed on first come basis.
I seriously do not like that.
You must have rented the farm (+beds) for costs, that are include in the fee. We expect to have a bed for that money.
It is not our fault you overbooked the event. Perhaps you should have switched to a larger site while you still could, or, if you could not, closed the registration and find a larger site for next time.
Yes, I may be picky, but I just wanted to have this said. ;) Nothing wrong with sound arguments, even though it's not the end of the world. :P

Hello,
No need to worry, each time there are a lot of people
signing up for X and the half of them don't show up.

I seriously hate it when people don't wait for a response from the organization and run to the forums immediately.
it does *not* help your case. |

Not this time, because the line-up is really cool ;)
[EDIT]Burglar, then we both seriously hate something! I'm sure there is no real case though. |

280 registrations, shit..
that's even more than last time, right?
oh well, we can always sleep with the cows \o/
the only thing I expect for the 70 eur is to have my chair stolen during every compo, to find some smelly ass dude sleeping where I planned to sleep and to wake up with a serious Grolsch headache and no more food available... oh yeah, and a massive amount of data insanity and outrageous party spirit!
see you all there :) |

I think it's wonderful to see the number of visitors is growing every 2 years. |

Oh, don't be such a mama's boy! Some of us sleep on the concrete floor even when there's a quiet, warm sleeping room. Gotta admit, that's mostly the result of booze overdose. But seriously, meeting my favorite sceners is worth ten times 70 euros so I probably wouldn't complain even if there would be no free beer (okay, that's maybe the only reason to complain). So just bring a sleeping bag with yourself, you most likely won't die from two uncomfortable nights. |

You might feel like you died though, but then again, the beer is still free when you wake up :)

Well, I never had any trouble with sleeping on the floor, but in case you are afraid of loosing the bed and that the floor might injure your body, bring a plastic beach mattress with you. It's compact and so damn cheap in discount Chinese shops, you could just trow it away after the party. |
