Symposium / Mekka '98 Party Report

Written by Magic of Nah-kolor


Proloque

 Where can we, as loyal passionate Amiga sceners, get our core scenish needs
 fullfilled anno domini 1998 ? In a huge, half empty hall dominated by 
 persons who have nothing to do with Amiga demos and only play games? I don't
 think so! For a scene party to establish and symbolising a good name for 
 itself takes atleast two maybe even three years. That's why the Symposium 
 & Mekka organisation have done a great job in realising a scene party which 
 brings back the scenish flavour, the old skool atmosphere in a long weekend 
 during Easter. The orginizers have connections in the Amiga scene which 
 already makes sure of some hot releases, and with their good name built
 up by the last three editions we are in for a real hangover.. One of the
 best demo competitions in quantity and quality since years! 
 

Let Me Entertain You..

 During the 4 days the party was going on, we could witness several
 sceners at the IRC who could bring the latest news of the party.
 The number of persons visiting came close to expectations. "There are
 about a 1000 visitors" Acryd, a nice scener tells me while the Amiga
 demo competition is running. There are a total of 15 demo entries.
 "Amongst others Haujobb,Venture,Scoopex,Abyss,Lego,Artwork
 competed in the demo competition." Acryd comments, and continues "And 
 ofcourse Antibyte had a 40kb intro ready in the Intro competition"
  
 The party network sometimes worked, sometimes it didn't, but there were
 few people online at a time, compared to The gathering 1998 which was 
 going on at the same time. There network was available for alot of
 people who visited.
  

Another End Of Another Era!

 A scene party usually gives sceners a chance to discuss certain matters
 of new members or starting a new group. Famous musician Virgill had agreed
 to join Haujobb at the party, where he came home from 1 day early because
 of a major hangover. As he commented at the IRC. But the most catching
 news of the weekend, and I am sure of the year is that ARTWORK has been
 officially announced DEAD! "Artwork just lived too long" Azure comments
 when asking him. "Our Artwork MegaDemo IV 2 released at here at the
 Symposium is the last Artwork demo ever" he continues. Quickly I asked
 some other questions. "Will you join another group?" I hastly ask.
 "I think so" Azure says. But only one minute after Azure corrects this
 sentence "I will not join another group" 

 Artwork dead, another era has ended. A last question popped up in my head.
 What about Generation, will this magazine die aswell after issue 26?
 Afterall Artwork could have been the motivation for the people behind it
 to continue the magazine. Azure: "I don't think so, afterall Generation
 never was a ATW-Demo if you know what I mean.."


Epiloque

 And so another hot weekend ended, one that symbolises the first half of 
 1998. With two major party's in one weekend. Mellowchips of TRSI won
 The Gathering 1998 this year after two years of TBL dominance. Yet TBL
 won the 64kb intro competition at The GAthering 1998. As for MS'98 results
 they aren't known at the time of writing this report. But Acryd comments:
 "My guess is 1. Haujobb 2. Scoopex 3. Abyss" So let's see if this forecast
 comes true..
