breakpoint 2008
category: general [glöplog]
tft: You basically want to use a double room as single. Most single rooms in hotels usually really are double rooms sold as single. Due to the limited number of hotel rooms available during Breakpoint, Hotels don't do that.
Also, our booking system doesn't manage booking timespans - a booked room is blocked for the whole party time. That's why you can't select Monday to Tuesday, it would block the room for the party time.
But in the end, this is a non-issue: From Monday on there will be plenty of rooms available again, including singles, as most people are gone already. Simply send a mail to breakpoint08@untergrund.net with your complete reservation data, we'll forward that reservation manually. (Yeah, we should add a note about this to the website).

is it possible to crash at the partyplace from thursday to friday? for those flying in on the 20th who dont necessarily need the comfort of an hotel..
Yes, that's possible. However, the following limitations apply:
- You may only arrive on Thursday evening if you must (ppl going by plane etc) IOW no germans coming by car etc.
- Absolutely earliest time of arrival at the location is Thursday 22:00.
- Absolutely no alcohol or music allowed. If you arrive drunk, party is over for you.
- No network, no power
In other words: It's ok to silently sleep at the location, without causing any kind of work for organizers, without disturbing us finalizing the party place.

skrebbel: haha, ok... comparing Maali to Magic, are we? Btw., how the fuck can Maali be in "Youth Uprising"? Isn't he a gazillion years old, like me? ;)
Bah, the real sleeping-party is inside - not in some ridiculously comfortable hotel. ;)
nutman, he's not in youth uprising. he just did the demotool.
you're just a poor slob. :)

if'm going to visit bp (read: if i can afford that :P), i'll probably join the music compo. is there a rule that i have to release my muzak at the party or may i release my track some weeks before?
Saga Musix: Don't release the track before the party - to quote our rules:
Quote:
Compo entries may not have been released before. This means whole productions, productions may to a certain grade contain previously released material. Please contact the organizers in advance to make sure you are within bounds. Pure rips or copies will be kicked from the competition without further notice.
nutman: are you suggesting i write lousy articles? :P
niels:
a) by bus, together with the whole danish demoscene. surely the most comfortable option, considering the free beer that the sponsor provided and how much fun it's going to be
b) no, mostly because i've been too lazy/busy to figure out who the hell to get a room with and stuff seemed to get filled up pretty quickly.
i've never gotten a hotel at bp, but will be the last one to call it ridiculously comfortable. i think that it's basically a very good idea.

niels, did you book a room yet, btw?
if not, let's book a double in the "Goldener Kochlöffel". (de vergulde (!) kooklepel)
ah i have to find a means of transport first, so i'll get back to you when i got that sorted out.
i'm fine with a double room in a hotel with such a name ;)

Any news on the 4k executable graphics compo?
Preacher: yeah, I saw the winning entry and all I can say is that it is *jaw dropping*.
for the night after the party when waiting for the flight that's gonna go on tuesday, hotel is a fucking excellent idea.
niels, stuur me ff een mail op mijn nickname @scene.nl, dan spreken we shit af.
thanks for the information, kb. Seems like i missed that line in the rules.
... but what about rob is jarig? :P

Maali: I've never read a single one, so I wouldn't be able to even make the slightest suggestion at that. But perhaps you should bring a few and read them to me as bedtime stories at BP? ;)
