Absolutely fucking legendary. How is this the first time I've ever heard of them?
Lot of Exotic Men releases still missing from pouet, btw.

Yeah dont we all like drinking on demoparties?? Show me the ones who don't. Who doesnt, raise your hand. Anyone? Oh i see nobody. :(
there are plenty of demosceners (and demoparty organizers) that don't drink alcohol.
or demosceners who can drink a lot without turning into mr Hyde! (no relation to Andromeda!)
After reading the history of exotic men, early 90s demoscene attitudes seems kinda scary (although hilarious from a distance). Why not just stick to cool sounding nicks and breaking ball records? :)
yeah, even the damones grew up in the meantime!

Quoted selectively.
creonix, don't get me wrong but you have the rhetoric of a 11 yo kid, you're not supposed to be even near alcohol at that age!
Aww... you hurted my feelings.
I think there were at least two Revisions where I "forgot" to drink some alcohol. :) Last year, iirc, I managed to drink a whole bottle of beer for once... a combination of two different bottles. (I think I tossed the first for sitting out too long and unattended, then someone later bought me another one.)
@Creonix, look. I don't know exactly what feud you got into at Revision after drinking too much or the like. All I know is the fallout: arab banned you from Nectarine (after some other comments from you, which may or may not have been related to what went on at Revision), SunSpire tried to pre-emptively ban you from Nordlicht, and whatever you were talking about when you necroposted. However you don't fix that by talking bad of others and shit-posting. Here's how you fix that: SunSpire did let you attend Nordlict, and you showed that (largely) you were well behaved and didn't raise hell. Do that again. Show up to other parties that let you, show you can behave, and that you aren't a nexus of trouble. Then keep doing it. Eventually word will get around and there won't be a good reason for any party to say no.
You're only galvanizing them by speaking ill here. Apologizing here, even if you wanted to, doesn't fix the past either. So go do [good] stuff. Show them. (and don't taunt with "see, look how good I'm being?" because then it looks like you're just putting on a show)
Furthermore it doesn't matter in the end who did what. All people who had siblings know the person who started it or was even just an instigator doesn't necessarily get in trouble. It was pretty much always the last person to get caught doing something. If you're act like a model person and don't get involved, then it's hard for others not to notice if there's only one person actually trying to start something.
Alright. That's my 2¢. I've run out of pocket change, so unfortunately I don't have any more words of wisdom.

Yeah I laughed at it too, but I also realized I shouldn't have since it was really just a listing of people being shitheads. Nobody would want to be an organizer again if everyone behaved like that.by Optimus:After reading the history of exotic men, early 90s demoscene attitudes seems kinda scary (although hilarious from a distance).

yes, that sums it up pretty well
next time for lisu's reading sake, can we conclude threads with concluding wise words much sooner? thank you very much!
oh was Creonix the guy I saw outside of the Revision front gate surrounded by an orga and two bouncers late one night?

(Raises hand) Never drank, except for some dishwasher salmiakki (I think you need to drink that to get your official Demoscener Membership Card(tm)). Hm... maybe that's why it took me 25 years to win a euro party? I should have started drinking much earlier!
Hahaha, that Exotic Men story is mental! What a bunch of dicks!
lol
Juste started to read, my first réaction was positive, then it got boring, then it started with trsi, Amiga and hugi... At that point i Saïd to myself it was time to sleep
