Invitation intro by SIDRIP Alliance released at the Revision Party in Saarrücken/Germany
[download on CSDb]
No drugs allowed: not inside, neither outside. Just to be clear, the place is next to the police station and we won't think twice if we find you wasted.
Alcohol is allowed at the place, but not on the street. If you get drunk, you will be kicked outside into the fresh air.
We are close to residential area: after 10pm the outside activity should turn the volume down. (We are watching you, Detox :) )
Take care of the equipment / building! Any damage you cause should be payed by you right on spot.
If you smoke (outside only), use the bins we put all over the place! Thank you.
We kindly ask you to get rid selectively of your waste. There will be lots of sacks to do so. It will make our lives much easier. Thank you.
You can enter all demoscene related competitions using any 8bit platform. Bring your gear to be safe we can show your entry on real hardware! Our compo machines are: C64 (VSP safe, old/new SID selectable) + 1541/2 + U1541/2 / ide64 + MP3 card, plus4 + SID card + 1541/2 / 1551. If your hw outputs exotic video signal (no svideo or composite), please contact us in time!
Any compo can be entered with remote entries, although this way your price is fame only. Use arok@singularcrew.hu for your emails!
All categories will be pre-filtered. Cancelling an entry is our own right. Porn, provocation, racism are primary reasons for cancelling. Entering any compo you take over the liability that your entry is your own work only and you are responsible for all copyright issues. You grant us the right to freely distribute your work after the party.
