.: INTRODUCTION :.

In the good times, when scrolls dominated, there was no demo or intro, that not begins from scrolline... Each webapage must have some introduction, so...

It is probably most nongrateful piece of text, particularly, if we back some years ago, where everything was much easier and "less responsible"...

10 yaers has passed from QuaST Copy Party Orneta'93, an event that was visited by 35 freaks. From that summer everything changed - for everyone. Everything without affection, technical love to ATARI. Successively we remind fans of Volksvagen Kaffer - technologically car before 2nd War. In this day Atari will be 25 years old. Volkswagen still exists and makes more and more better cars. ATARI produces only games - very sad!

When I tyld to my first friends, that I have an idea to make the party in Orneta, they said, that is impossible, that I do not make this. Not for spite of them, but for my pleasure (yes, party organisation can be a pleasure) I decide to announce 2003 the year of sentiment to QuaST Parties!

I can't tell you or promise that in 2004 will next edition of QuaST Party. There are much other good parties, which was born in the same time or after the QuaST one. I feel huge anger after QuaST Party'98. It was to much and most of us imagination had not works. I heard stories that I bought a car from money from the party and... this and other feelings I announce here (only in polish)- this is my interview with me.

Introduction ends with information about start of preparing of QuaST Party Orneta'2003 - I mean that is started. The party place is the same (MDK) and it is ready to welcome us. There is Internet connection (slow but will be!), projector and declaration of arrival of old party freaks...

It means there is only missing everyone who is interested to arrive and show can start...

1-go Maja street (I don't remember a number)

Party place will be open at 31st of July 2003 at 4pm. You can sleep till the official start :)

Planned number of party freaks: about 50 persons (in worse case) About 120 persons (it is my optimitical scenario)

Enterance free:
- about 2 to 5 PLN for clearing (4PLN is about 1 Euro)
- if you want you can put some money for prizes

Compos:
- graphics & music
- demo & intro
- crazy compo - new ideas, I think we can play as some years ago!

Others attractions, always present at QuaST parties:
- scene interview of scene and people from last 10 years!
- movies from earlier parties
- memories of absent sceners - our destiny...
- movie projection (your ideas are welcome)
- realtime text (in internet too)
- fire with sousages

Maybe...
- trip to the lake (3,4 hours, depend of weather)
- microwave and access to the kitchen


.: COMPOS :.

At QuaST Pa rty Orneta 2003 I supose that will be compos:
- all, that can be if coders, gfxmen and musicians can create some contributions on appropriate level. Minimal count of contributions for each compo is 3 (in demo and intro compo 1 or 2)
- crazy - their style is unknown yet

Before each party some new extensions for our Atari are issue. Much memory, new music chips, acceleration of graphics with GeFroce4 Titanium speed :) etc. Each party has huge regulation sheet. At QuaST party there is no any barier. Not for first time coders showed that we don't need gigabytes of something to make cool demo or intro.

There is one condition: each party freak must have an ability to save contributions to standard carrier. Ofcourse I don't think here about demo for Falcon030 which is 50MB of data :)

Hmm… Maybe two conditions? Second is: if your demo will only works on your machine (becouse of weakness of other's ATARI - I think that ATARI can't be a weak!), you must take your Atari with you (read: your computer). Ofcourse I think you prepare your demo or intro to work on everybody's computers.

P R I Z E S! - here will be kind of revolution. Kind of verification of the scene - through the thanks for active sceners. What it means? Enterance fee is almost free (2-5 PLN). All prizes for the competitions will be set by all party freaks before party (forum or sth) or before compos.

How I see it?
- We set a sum which we want to put for prezes - for example per person (women too) - 10-20PLN (2,5 - 5 Euro) and everyone pay it to some chosen guy
- We set precentage of sum for each compo, for example: 20% for 8bit demo compo, 20% for ST/E/F030 demo compo, 10% for true color graphics compo and so on with other compos
- We set a special prize for the best production from last 10 years (this prize can be only for the person that is present at the party)
- Some % we put for crazy compo
- We collect a cash, set the prizes for compos, and this amounts cannot be changed...

I think this kind of setting prizes is very democratical and there will be no speculations.

Jury will be chosen before compos. I will be a boss of jury.
Ofcourse if you have some other propositions send me some info.

Each party has visitors, whose are very worthy for the scene. Below is form to put access for the party. I will wait for my old friands, if they not put an info here, maybe they will arrive to the party in last moment. Most of you will go to the party with friend or to meet friends. In form you can write percent of chance for your arrival.

It will be very cool to see althrough 50% of the scene. If you treat party (or only arrival) for seriously put your access today - maybe someone arrive to the party becouse you will arrive...

Put in form what you want. Put all informations - it will be \easier to me to contact you to inform you about changes or new ideas.

.: ORNETA :.

Future visitors of the party will be divide to two groups: part of you was in Orneta, part of you only heard about it.

For this first group...

In Orneta chaneged everything and nothing. MDK stands there, where it standed earlier. City Hall too. The Church? Obviously too! Ofcourse there are no repairs of buildings, which required this. Telephone exchange is modern - there is no cranks and there are public phones on the streets. Cellular phones are also available. The greatest object (after City Hall and Church) is antenna of Plus GSM. Orneta's girls are beautiful as always. Ofcourse I think about younger generation. Women in our age are very experienced. Not experienced are still ugly and stupid. Railway is still working. Still, because in each year we can hear suggestions to close this line. Buses are still ugly, but there is private buses to Olsztyn (they are leving from parking near famous grilled sandwiches!). Food: In Orneta was opened pizza reataurant - it is expensive, there are still some cheap fast food bars. There are some new pubs - no revelation, but cheap beer is better than expensive...

For second group...
If you will arrive QuaST Party people that was in Orneta tells you everything!
