Yahooooooo!!!!!!!  Finally!!!  At last we in Deadline and Crusaders can invite all the people out there to an absolutely fab party.  We've been planning this event for about 18 months, and we really think that this is gonna be THE party of a lifetime (meaning that if you're only gonna be at one party in your entire life, you should pick this one!!).  Well, that was the introduction....  Now I think you should pick a topic from the menu (yep, that's those buttons on the lower right part of your screen).  this should hopefully cause your amiga to find the text to that topic and print it to your screen (great or what????).  And now for a question... Who's justified and ancient ???       OK, you may be wondering who the chap behind this bull is.....  Well, my name is Mike, and I'm a proud member of Deadline (the funniest group in the west).  Please don't pay much notice to al te spelin mistejks inn tis txt, b'coz I wrote this (I'm actually writing it right now!!!) pretty late at night, and in some sort of a time pressure.  Kinda tight schedule ya know :-) .....  Little messy to Dan/Anarchy....  'Seeing is believing' is a perfect name on your demo...  'coz it stated that I didn't have enough memory to run it, even though I have 2Mb Chip-ram AND 8Mb Fast-ram :-D Well, as already stated, seeing is believing. I suggest you start looking for mem at $200000 as well ;-) OK, let's not care about that for now. Let's have some more of those public messages now.  You should consider writing to us for an invitation it's absolutely the most ravishing Party-invitation you've ever seen. It'll have 16 - sixteen pages (some of them in full color), and it's gonna be printed at a professional print-shop. Pretty cool or what.  Well, I don't really feel like writing very much more right now, so you'll have to excuse me, and read some of the bull from some of the other members in Deadline.  But first I have some personal messages.....  To Jason of Kefrens:  I think it's sad that you left us, but I really wish you luck in your new group. Your music is the greatest.  To Zeb / Crusaders: Wanna go for a trip to Sweden soon?? We should buy some more cheeze doodles (jumbo, of course!!!), popcorn and Coca Cola. To Falch of Triumph:  Man, I really regret that I didn't buy that 2.0 Rom from you at the IMP / Razor - party in Arendal, your friend was sold out when I called him, and now he's stopped making them. Life is tough!      And of course I would like to send a big hello to all the Deadliners and Crusaders out there.  -=-=- H E L L O -=-=- If somebody would like to join our fan-club you can write to me (my adress is in the 'credits' part).  Just send a bottle of something in order to join.  Oh, we accept money as well. :-D Well, that's definately it.  I'm leaving the keyboard NOW! ..........................................................I ' l l   b e   b a c k ...........................W A R N I N G !!!! The intellectual level of this scroller is about to drop drastically.... Freaky is back in town        Yepp that's me! Hmm, Thanx for that stunning fact, Mike! And to all of you reading this text I have to tell you That's true!!?!   Just for your Information this intro does NOT work on Megachip 500/2000! Hehe! To bad for you MIKE! Wonder what's wrong?  I bet 100$ That ZEB/CRUSADERS has something to do with it?!?!  Ok, Sorry Zeb that was a bad joke!   Hmm, Rather funny though!?  Just look at this face :-D Looks just like Shady/Deadline! :-)  Second important info comming up: This party is NOT a JOKE LIKE THE AMEGA "PARTY" was!  If you belive that, you better go and hide your ass behind the nearest TREE and write your name upside down 4 times and think again!!    Atleast Cryptoburners/Dexion/Fairlight don't have to bring a Big-Screen to our party! Like WE did for theirs! :-DDDDD  BTW, if you wonder why the big-screen was placed in the basement, the explanation is easy... CRB was more busy getting PEPSI (Y U C K) than finding a proper place for the big-screen. Nice chaps.     Ok, just one last thing! Don't take my text seriously! and don't get too excited! Please! Remeber it's ONLY A SCROLLER!!! :-DDDD     Ok, at last some personal hello's to some friends of mine!   Here we go:Jason/Kefrens   Headx, Mcs and Wizax/Andromeda   Shut Berlin/Infinitive Perfection   Odie/Brainstorm   Stranger/Aurora   D.J.Devil/Motion   British Knight/Alpha Flight   Defjef/Parallax   Doctor No/Razor 1911   Ironhawk/Deaster Area   ALL DEADLINE AND CRUSADERS MEMBERS                                        . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Still there???? Phew you poor guys. You must be in a state of shock after this section of hard-packed bull         YES, that's right.... MIKE is back on the keys. And I'm ready to take this scroller to a place unseen by the human leg. ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Speaking of legs.. Anybody who knows what running is??? It's to move rapidly on legs. Betcha didn't know that :-)   By the way.. The word today is legs.......Spread the word, the rumour (current unproved report) and the disk.   Hey, look what I found! A dictionary. Let's check out some common words..... DEADLINE - A painted line in prison yard beyond which prisoners must not pass. (That's the US definition).  CRUSADER - A make of tank (W.W. 2).  COMMODORE - President of a yacht club.  ATARI - Look garbage.  SAMPLER - Piece of cloth embroidered to show skill in needlework, often displayed on a wall. (wanna buy a sampler after this). SLOGAN - Warcry of a highland clan in Scotland.       OK, that's it. My time's up. I'm beeing sucked away from the keyboard now. Just can't keep typing. Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeee............................................. . . .  .  .  .   .   .   .    .    .    .     






            THE PARTY OF THE MILLENIUM

 We  would  hereby  like to invite everyone around
 the  world  to  the event of the millenium.  It's
 time for Crusaders' and Deadline's gigantic party
 in   Norway.    The  party  will  take  place  at
 "Skedsmohallen",  a  large  sports  hall  outside
 Lillestrom  (20 km east of Oslo).  The party will
 last 5 long days, from April 15th 12:00, to April
 19th  16:00  local time, making it a total of 100
 hours of partying.

 We  know most of you are getting real fed up with
 badly organized parties.  At least here in Norway
 this  is  considered  a big problem.  In order to
 make this one of the best organized parties ever,
 we've  been  planning this since the beginning of
 June last year.

 We  don't consider ourselves to have the greatest
 experience  in  organizing  parties,  but our two
 groups   combined   make   up  a  bunch  of  very
 resourceful   people   with  the  knowledge,  the
 equipment  and  the  possibility to make this the
 best party you have ever attended.

              A VOYAGE TO OUR COUNTRY

 If  you  travel  to  Norway from another country,
 perhaps  for  the first time, we will see to that
 you,  our  guest,  are taken good care of, and we
 will  try  to  meet  everyone  who  needs  to  at
 airports, bus, train stations and so forth.  Just
 let  us  know  in  advance.  If there's something
 interesting  you'd  like  to  see while you're in
 Norway,   please   let   us  know  and  we'll  do
 everything  in  our  power  to  get you there and
 back.

 We  promise  that  this  party will encapsule the
 best  of  the  scene  and  beyond by inviting The
 World.



                   COMPETITIONS

 One  can  not  have a party without competitions.
 You've  been promised a number of competitions to
 every party you have attended, but apart from the
 major  competitions  like  the  demo,  music  and
 graphics competitions they never seem to be held.
 This  time  it's  different.   Though all parties
 claim  to  be  well organized this one really is.
 Have   you   ever  attended  a  party  where  the
 competition deadlines actually meant 'deadlines'?
 This time deadlines will mean deadlines.

                GLOBAL COMPETITION

 By the use of modems this will be the first party
 ever  where  EVERYONE,  and we mean everyone, can
 compete  in  main  competitions.   Anyone outside
 Europe   may  compete  in  the  demo,  music  and
 graphics competitions.

 If  you can't come to the party in Norway, please
 contact  the  Sysop at either of the BBS's you'll
 find  in  the  BBS Section, or by write to one of
 the contact addresses for more information on how
 to compete via modem.

                 DEMO COMPETITION

 The  essentials  to  any  party, but this time it
 will be like never before.

 This  time we will be giving away a special award
 to  those  who  compete.   EVERYONE involved in a
 winning  entry  will  be  given  a special trophy
 called 'The Golden Gary'.

 Megademo  and  Multistage  demos will be allowed.
 Note  that  the  parts  in  the Megademos and the
 Multistage   demos   should   however  have  some
 relation   to   eachother.    A   Megademo  or  a
 Multistage  demo  will be judged based on that it
 is  a  Megademo  or  a Multistage demo.  In other
 words,  this means that a good one-part demo will
 stand  a  much  better  chance  against  a  lousy
 Megademo.

 Please  consider  that the competing demos should
 run on all Amiga models.

               GRAPHICS COMPETITION
 
 Everyone   who   competes   in   the   graphics
 competition  may have their pictures hard-copied.
 (Printed on paper)

                 MUSIC COMPETITION

 The  entries  for  the  music competition will be
 played out loud on the best of the Hi-Fi scene.

                PC DEMO COMPETETION

 A   PC-demo   competition   will  also  be  held.
 Naturally   this   depends   on   the  number  of
 competitors.  The PC-demos will be displayed on a
 i486  33MHz  with  a  Soundblaster  Pro or Roland
 Sound System according to your wishes.

              JUDGING FOR THE DEMO, 
          MUSIC AND GRAPHICS COMPETITIONS

 At every party you have attended the judging have
 been  done  by  the  groups  arranging the party.
 This  time  it's different.  By the use of voting
 terminals,  you  can  vote for your favorites and
 your  vote  will  be  counted  before a winner is
 announced.  Votes from Crusaders or Deadline will
 not  count  more  than  a  vote from anyone else.
 This  means of course that no one from either The
 Crusaders  or from Deadline may compete in either
 of those competitions.

         MOST USELESS UTILITY COMPETITION

 Never  before witnessed by humans, so please have
 the  following  in  mind when developing the most
 useless utilities ever.

 -  The utility should under no circumstances have
    any  value  as a utility what so ever.  Except
    for  creating  a  slightly  humorous  mood, of
    course.
    
 -  The  utility  will  be  judged  by easy-brided
    people with years of experience in this field.
    The more useless the better.

         CHEEZ DOODLES EATING COMPETITION

 The  first  prize  goes  to  the person who first
 wolfs down a bag of Cheez Doodles (250 grams) and
 survives.   In  case  of  a tie, the first one to
 finish a second bag.  Paramedics will probably be
 present :-)

            QUICK DEMO, QUICK GRAPHICS 
            AND QUICK MUSIC COMPETITION

 Years  ago,  when  the  first  parties were held,
 groups  usually  started on their demos, graphics
 and  music productions for the competitons at the
 party.   This is not the case any more.  Nowadays
 groups  have  all the time in the world to finish
 their  productions.   So  that  no one may make a
 false  start,  the  rules for this rather special
 competition  will be given to you when you arrive
 at the party.

               CALVIN  AND  HOBBES' 
           SNOWMAN BUILDING COMPETITION

 The   biggest,   the  baddest  and  the  ugliest.
 Obscene  ways  of  using snow will not be allowed
 (even  though  we've got very broad minds in this
 matter).

             THE REGULAR COMPETITIONS

           - Outdoor soccer competition
           - Kick-Off
           - Stunt Car Racer

 We  have revealed enough.  Just to give you a few
 hints   more   there   will   be  an  Amiga  Quiz
 competition,  Game  Show,  something  to  do with
 girls,  and a lot of on-the-spot competitions for
 your  entertainment.  Watch for information about
 these competitions when you arrive at the party.



                COMPETITION PRIZES

 Since this will be the party of the millenium, we
 thought  we  ought  to have competition prizes so
 big they'll make you puke.

       Just have a look at the following...

                    Amiga A3000
                    Amiga CD-TV
                 High Speed Modem
                       Laser
            Humorously large RAM-cards
                    Hard drives
                 MIDI Synthesizers
                      GenLock
                     Diskettes
            ..and of course shiny Cash

 All this and lots more.  Due to the special deals
 we  have  with our sponsors we have made this the
 biggest  pile  of  prizes presented for any party
 since the dawn of time.

                    FACILITIES

                   THE CAFETERIA

 Like  the  name  suggests, there will be set up a
 cafeteria   containing   everything  (except  for
 coffee)   you   need  to  satisfy  your  stomach.
 Including everything from sandwiches and milk, to
 more essential stuff like Coca-Cola, hot-dogs and
 pizzas.   This  cafeteria will be open from 08.00
 to  24.00.  However, Coca-Cola, hot-dogs and some
 other snacks will be available 24 hours a day.

               AUDIO/VISUAL EFFECTS

 To make this party spectacular we've concentrated
 on  the  audio-visual effects (light, picture and
 sound).   We're  going  to use two big screens in
 the  hall to show all party-productions and other
 stuff.   We will also be using a couple of lasers
 to  get some really cool effects.  In addition to
 this we also have a few surprises up our sleeves.
 Don't  even  think  about bringing your 500 watts
 hi-noise  sound-garbling  amplifier  -  We'll  be
 bringing  a total of 40 kW amplified sound, and a
 nuclear powerplant to match.

                      LEISURE

 If  you  for some strange reason should get tired
 of using your computer for 100 hours in a row, we
 can offer a lot of other things to do.  There's a
 bowling-hall in the basement of the building, and
 we're  going  to  rent a couple of snooker tables
 and  an  arcade  machines.  We're even working on
 getting  a Virtual Reality machine!  Those of you
 that  just  want  get  away  from the party for a
 while,   there   is  a  discoteque  nearby.   The
 entrance  fee to the party works as a free ticket
 to this discoteque.

                     PARTY BBS

 For those who for some peculiar reason can not be
 present at the party, we will set up a BBS system
 that  ensures  that you can get your hands on the
 party productions immediatly after it's released.
 More information on these BBS'es will be released
 in future party intros.

 We  will  also  use  a  modem  to  get the latest
 releases  from  all  the groups that wish to be a
 part   of   this  party  around  the  world,  and
 distribute these releases at the party.

 The more smarter persons who show up at the party
 can  use  one of the terminals we will be setting
 up in the hall, to copy demos from the BBS, or to
 copy their latest productions onto the BBS.  More
 info  about  the  party  BBS  can be found in the
 official  invitation  that  will be released late
 January  or  from one of the boards listed in the
 BBS section.

                  ON-LINE VOTING

 When you arrive at the party you will be asked to
 write  your  personal  info  on a terminal in the
 entrance  hall.   While  doing  this  you will be
 asked  for  a personal password you would like to
 use.   This password is critical for your voting,
 so  you  better  not forget it.  When you want to
 vote,  just go to one of the many terminals, type
 your  password,  and then follow the instructions
 on screen.  We consider this for being one of the
 best  voting  systems  ever  used on a party like
 this,  since  it  gives the persons attending the
 party a chance to vote for their favorites too.

                   HARDWARE SALE

 At  the party we will sell disks, link cables and
 other small items for a fair price.  You can also
 buy   RAM   cards   (up  to  6  Mb  internal)  or
 hard-drives (up to 220 Mb internal).  Take a look
 in  the  Adevertisment  section  of this intro to
 list some hardware prices.

                     SLEEPING

 During  a  100  hour  party  there will always be
 someone  who  wants  to  sleep,  so we will use a
 couple  of rooms for this purpose.  Since this is
 a sports hall, there is lots and lots of showers,
 so there is no need for you to go around smelling
 like a horse these 5 days.



          PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES
                OR HOW TO GET THERE

 The  easiest way to find the party is to get your
 hands  on  a  printed  invitation  that  will  be
 available late January.

                    AUTOMOBILES

 Since Oslo is the capital of Norway we start from
 here.   The place where the party will be held is
 called  "Skedsmohallen"  and  it's a fairly known
 place so if you get lost just ask for directions.
 If  you  are  traveling  to  Norway  from another
 country  you  should  be able to find Oslo on any
 map.   Also  if  you're  travelling from south of
 Norway, follow the directions below.

 Once  in  Oslo  locate highway E6 (Trans-European
 6).   Take  this  highway  norhtbound.   Look for
 signs like "Hamar" and "Trondheim", then you know
 you're  heading in the right direction.  Continue
 driving   until   you   see   a  sign  that  says
 "Lillestrom" Lillestr›m and drive off the highway
 at  that  conjunction.   The first thing you will
 see   coming   off   the   highway   is   a   big
 castle-looking  hotel.   Continue following signs
 to  "Lillestrom".   Drive  on  'till  you reach a
 small  bridge  followed  by  a  roundabout.  Turn
 right  in  this  roundabout  and  follow the road
 you're  on  for  approx.   4 kilometers until you
 reach a railroad crossing.  Turn left immediately
 after  the  railroad crossing.  Straight in front
 of   you   you'll  see  the  sports  hall  called
 "Skedsmohallen"

 If  you're  travelling  from  north  of Norway on
 highway E6 you should ignore the first sign which
 says  Lillestrom,  and  wait until you see a sign
 which  says  "Gjelleras"  and  "Nittedal".   Once
 you're  off the highway you turn left and head on
 for  some  twohundred  meters  and you'll see the
 castle-looking hotel on the left side.  From here
 you can follow the directions described above.

                      TRAINS

 Those of you who will be travelling by train, you
 can get off at "Lillestrom" station and from here
 you  can  take  a  bus to "Skedsmohallen".  Buses
 stop  right  outside the station.  Make sure your
 bus  stop at "Arasen" or that it goes directly to
 "Skedsmohallen".

                      PLANES

 If  you  come  by plane you will arrive at either
 "Gardermoen"  or  "Fornebu"  airport depending on
 which  country  you came from.  The best thing to
 do will be to ask for directions from the airport
 you arrive.  Find an information desk and ask for
 directions to "Lillestrom" and "Skedsmohallen"

 If  you  have  any problems finding the place you
 can  call  a  special telephone number we will be
 setting  up  for  the occation, that will connect
 you  to  a  person who can give you directions in
 almost any language.  More information about this
 later.
