disapointed and ashamed

Posted by dreamer sublogic on January 27, 1998 at 01:22:28:

Sometimes I get really pissed, not often. But sometimes, and there
usually is a REALLY good reason for it. Like when I spoke to
XCENE/DANCE today, and he told me that invitation#1 was out. "Ok,
fair enough" I thought, he DCC'ed me the intro, and I must admit
I was abit suprised when he sendt me only the executable.
He explained to me that there was no archive, and there sure as
h*** were no file_id.diz nor invitation text file.
Then I sat down to look at the invitation. And I feel somewhat
obliged to say (and I think i speak on the behalf of EVERYONE) when
i say that the last years Invitation from digital predators sucked
badly. I thougth that their skills had to be improved over a year.

I WAS SO WRONG.

After watching (the soundless) "invitation intro" my impression
was that THIS HAD TO BE A JOKE.
I mean, simple motion blur line algorythms, starfields, sine table
scrollers and an UGLY TG98 logo. and NO INFORMATION ABOUT TG98 of
any value AT ALL, i'd rather not MENTION the M I X E D C A S E
in the scroll-text.

Is this what the norwegian scene has to offer?

I don't think so.

I think that Digital Predators should be ashamed of themselves and
so should TG98 organizers for saying that this was "ok".

This is NOT the real spirit for scene parties, and it certainly does
not make us REAL sceners look good towards other scene countries.

I am deeply embarrased. And I truely hope that this "intro" didnt
scare away our foreign friends (though, I would understand them).

But there's still hope.

Within a few weeks the REAL invitation for The Gathering 1998 will
be released.

Not any Wired'97 invitation, but atleast an informative invitation,
that gives you locations and general information, and doesnt look
like a complete mess.

Go ahead webmaster. Cencor me!
