X2012 feedback
If you have visited X2012, please share your feedback here on what could be improved for X2014.
Most likely youll say the compos started too late which made it hard for people to vote afterwards.
Be assured, all us organizers want to improve this, but still, tell us what you think!
We appreciate your feedback, your massive effort in the productions released and your visiting X2012 and hope to welcome you all again in two years!

Quote:No smoking would be a great idea, the only problem is: ENFORCEMENT of a no-smoking regime.
as a long time organizer of two parties that DO have a "no smoking inside" policy for a few years now (which is enforced by german law) i can tell: not only is enforcing unpossible, it also doesnt really add a lot of friendly atmosphere between organisiers and visitors. meaning in practise: the organizers smoke outside mostly, and try to enforce no smoking inside only if they really cant avoid it =P

this sign was one of my personal highlights of the party - it was so puny and hidden well, i managed to see it sunday evening =) |

Some visitor put that sign above the stairs. And the first time he did that, the sign was pulled pretty soon after that... He was quite persistent, so he kept putting new signs above the stairs.

L33t smokers will have their own crystal castle in the main hall and basement (comparable to the glass walled rooms inside airports) next time. :)

Oh! And really forgot: the bouncing castle for adults outside!
We thought about it when people picked up the fridge and had a commercial for it on their van.

my feedback is completely positive except the most important part, compos. both schedule and voting system have problems. it was my 3rd X party but couldn't vote at any of them. if you really want to keep the voting system oldschoolish, spread votesheets with the product names on them (not after, before the compos). that "voting disk" is a total disaster. biggest problem is trying to remember all the products after all compos are over. even i am not smart enough for that. :p |

Re: No smoking inside; I've never seen this rule being broken at Swedish parties that had it. Maybe it's a cultural thing? |

Skate is right, remebering all the entries was difficult. Still I think the voting system with disks was nice, since it allowed to count the votes in a blink of an eye, otherwise going throu all the vote sheets would take much more and the final cerimony would start when the sun has risen already.
Anyhow, supplying the participants with preliminary votesheets with entry names, so that people can write down notes for each entry while the compo is running would be nice. Then each voter should just copy his/her votes from the votesheet to the C64 running the voting disk. |

Besides the challenges of enforcing a no-smoking policy it's also the location owner who doesn't really like all people outside after 10pm smoking (and drinking, talking, singing and what not). They complained about it already.
We'll try to come up with something for next time, though.. |

X has always been a party where pretty much everything goes.
No authority telling you what you can and cannot do, as long as you don't
trash the place.
This has always worked out very well and it has created the party atmosphere
I always wanted at a c64 scene party.
So yes, this includes being able to drink too much, puke under deekay's
table, shit in the urinal and smoke spliffs till you can't see straight.
Hell, you're even allowed to shed a few tears during the compos.
It's X for crying out loud! ;)
Now, this doesn't mean we should ignore the anti-smokers. So especially
when we get a new schedule laid out properly (including time between compo's,
cause they can be farther apart), we could think about discouraging smoking
in the basement. It will still never mean that we will strictly enforce
such a rule, for reasons others have already mentioned above.
