Extremely Official Party Invitation
To
The Aggressive II Party
We welcome you to the greatest computer party of all time!
NSFAQ (Not So Frequently Asked Questions):
What?
In many ways the party will be like so many other parties with a demo
competition, intro competition, music competition and graphics competition
but here are just a few of the things you will be missing if you don't come
to the party (which is an incredible act of unselfishness, letting someone
come in your place..):
- Music (you know the thing people sometimes create with 'trackers').
Live techno performance!
- Some of the best groups on the scene!
- The chance to finally see which computer is the best in COMBINED
competitions! (Amiga, Atari, PC) See below for more information.
- Fabulous prizes (details will be announced later)!
- Very nice(?) people from all over the world!
- Animations, graphics and silly competitions!
- Free Internet use (sponsored by X-Gateway Finland)!
- See Motion released! (Aggression's revolutionary Falcon demo)
- A chance to see beautiful Finland and her forests!
- Sleepless nights!
- Great food! (there are several burger bars near the party place...)
There will be even more activities but you'll find out more about them later
(at the party place or something).
When?
The party will start on the 28th of December and continue on till the 30th.
The doors will open at 12:00 pm on the 28th and close at 16:00 pm on the 30th.
Where?
The party will be held in a large hall right in the center of Helsinki,
Finland. The address is Perhonkatu 6. This is also right beside other popular
party/dance places in Helsinki. It is near the central bus station and you can
get there with the underground by traveling to 'Kamppi'. You have to take the
underground going to 'Ruoholahti'. Kamppi is one stop away from the central
railway station. There is a general map of the area right at the Kamppi
underground station. Perhonkatu is marked there. If you forsee any major
problems then feel free to contact us!
Who?
The main organizers consist of people from Aggression, Extream, Future Crew
and some other helpful guys.
How?
All you have to do is send a Cheque for 100 Finnish marks payable to
Kristoffer Lawson. Remember that if you are paying for many people at the
same time list everyone's names! Make sure it's an international or
eurocheque if you're outside Finland. This is a kind of guarantee you are
coming so that we can securely fit everyone in. The cheque will be given back
to you at the door and there you should pay 100 Finnish marks in _cash_.
This is just because cashing in cheques is very expensive in Finland, ie. it
is cheaper for YOU this way. If you wish to pay in some other way please
contact us. You can also pay 125 Finnish marks at the door but we can't
guarantee you will get in. That is, if the whole place is full, it is worth
booking a place beforehand. The fee for females is 20 Finnish marks.
All this will entitle fun from thursday to saturday, a possibility to vote in
the competitions, free goodies and the ticket (badge, wrist band etc.) to go
and come as you please through the party place doors. Strong alcohol drinks
are _not_ allowed at the party place. They will be confiscated :->
We will also be organizing a NEW YEAR'S PARTY right after Aggressive II. We
will arrange some form of lodgings for people who want to participate in this
party. Please inform us of your interest in the new year's party beforehand so
that lodgings can be taken care of easily.
COMPETITIONS:
The competitions will be held on friday-saturday night and voting will happen
shortly after. The results will be announced at the party place as soon as all
votes have been counted. The results will also be uploaded to FalconBot on the
IRC channel #atari and can also be obtained by sending email (see below for
the address). Exact prizes will be revealed later.
- General Intro/Demo Competition Rules -
Each entry will be shown once.
Atari entries will be shown on a Falcon030 with 4 Mb RAM or on an Atari STe
with 2 Mb RAM (no harddrive).
Amiga demos will be shown on an Amiga 1200 with 2+2 Mb RAM.
PC demos will be shown on a 486 DX2/66, 4 Mb RAM.

All entries will be shown in the same competition, ie. there will not be
a separate Amiga, Atari or PC competition!
