Friesland, NetherlandsI left 3 towels at the mass housing. One of them is white, I dont know the other two colors because it was dark in there which messes with the color receptors in my eyes, but theyre all light colored.
Im pretty sure he meant logs in .txt format that can be read at anytime, rather than logs that can only be read when you are at a specific time in a vod and gets deleted after 2 weeks.
First of all. ESA15 was the most fun ESA for me, even more fun than ESA13. ESA14 was meh, which is why I really wasn't excited for ESA15, but I am so glad I came and I had a really great time. The biggest reason for this which is part of the organizing (you can't plan people not being pricks) was a less remote venue that was close to everything we needed: Food, activities & other places you'd find in a city.
Here's some points I have to make, some of m good, some of m bad. I'm not going to give suggestions on how to fix bad things, or whether you should fix at all, as there may have been very valid reasons, unknown to me, for stuff being that way.
¤ Chairs were uncomfortable, and doing a 7 hour run on them was not something I enjoyed. Although that's my fault for doing a 7 hour run, I imagine it's worse for people who wanted to watch runs a lot or the hosts.
¤ I really liked the idea of the big split button, but other than it being purple stream only and pressing it sometimes didn't work or counted as being pressed twice, it was implemented very poorly. The only run for which it was implemented correctly was SWAT4: It should be on the other side of the room and the runner has to run to their pc/console after pressing it.
¤ Camera angle was bad during PC runs. I can't even see myself in some VoDs of my own runs.
¤ The date of the event was proper shit. Please don't make me take 2 weeks off of school and skip an exam again just so I can go to ESA. I don't see what was so bad about the times ESA 12 13 and 14 were held at.
¤ Time between runs was filled ok with the hosts and stuff, but sometimes the dead silence was weird and made me think my audiohardware broke. I'd like to be able to watch or listen to the runner prepare for/wrap up after their game.
¤ Mass housing was ok itself for it being mass housing, especially once two of the showers were marked off as private. Communal showers were disgusting. Distance was dumb. Going to/from bed was just something undesirable to do just because of the effort it takes. Having the people sleep in the Mafia room seemed to work just fine the first night and I'm wondering why this wasn't the permanent option. I'm guessing due to not everyone having showed up yet and there not being enough room? (the gym not being overly packed and allowing you to walk properly was really nice). Or maybe fire regulations I don't know.
¤ The date of the event was proper shit. Please don't make me take 2 weeks off of school and skip an exam again just so I can go to ESA. I don't see what was so bad about the times ESA 12 13 and 14 were held at.
¤ Finding Mass housing was also nonsense. The post someone wrote on the forums had a google maps link, but the marker was not even anywhere remotely close to where the mass housing was. Pls fix.
¤ There was something else someone wanted me to write, but I forgot what it was and who that someone was.
¤ Wtf was up with the schedule? I was told 20 minutes were added to my estimate but the schedule didn't show that. I don't know what other things were wrong with it because I just didn't bother to look at it anymore after discovering it wasn't accurate at all.

¤ The event was great and there were great people!
I look forward to next year's ESA
You sent 200,00 SEK to F. Lidholt
Still no word on whether that is actually accurate
The following people will help me commentate VC 100%:
- MHMD_FVC
- Pac
- Anyone else that wants and can prove to me they know enough about VC I intend on doing most of the commentary myself, but I need a break at some point to give my voice and mind some rest (I'm not too good at talking). My commentators will know when this is.
The following person will be my cupbearer during VC 100%:
- Elgu. I have discussed any important matters with him already.
The following people will be my cupbearer's assistant during VC 100%:
- Eidgod
I do not wish for the following people to sit close to me during my VC 100% run:
- People who talk too much
- People who smell
- People whose face I don't instantly recognize
The following people will help me commentate HL2EP2:
- Elgu
- Anyone else that wants and can prove to me they know enough about Source Engine
I do not have a need for a cupbearer during HL2EP2.
VC 100%: Should be less tight if you add 20 or 30 minutes, and then only a gamecrash or a 1 in 1000 mission fail will ruin it.
HL2EP2: 55 minutes is not the estimate I submitted in the first place, but sure. Change it to 50 minutes.
Anyone still looking for a roommate?
I get why this information was given out so late because of the not being able to get to an agreement and stuff, but why weren't at least the broader things about the plans revealed earlier? Had I known it was going to be at a shitty gym I would've gone for the hotel, but it's too late for that now I suppose...
Right, this has been established then.
It has been known for a long time that your "mission attempts" counter goes up for missions like Pizzaboy, Paramedic, Stadiums Events, and many other things. (this is a stat that appears in the stats screen). The address in the vid is a different stat, I am not sure what it is though. Whatever it means exactly, it is irrelevant.
People used "savefile namechange" as the definition for all missions since the conception of the category. This is a very clear and short definition. Yes it is arbitrary, but it's the all missions category, which has never been acknowledged to be any different, and it was found to be the most fun (since nobody wants to do paramedic). Using a different variable (like this one which we don't even know what it means exactly, or any other for that matter (mission passed text)) to define the category would neither make the category less arbitrary nor more fun. (You may as well do 100% at that point...)
I have personally never been a fan of the all missions category, but accepted its existence and acknowledged it as a 'non-misc' category and even aided a friend of mine into learning the category and doing a run of it. Why? Because people enjoyed it and IMO enjoyment is the main component of a category being dumb versus it being 'real' (for lack of a better word). All missions, in its arbitrariness, actually took off as a category with a decent amount of competition, something which cannot be said about 'no asset dupe any%'; Despite many people claiming that to be better than current any%. Noone ever ran it seriously which is why the category is not featured on the leaderboards, unlike All Missions. (The same can be said for classic rules in GTA4, which also took off as a category.)
This stream proves that what has been said many times: "All missions is arbitrary". But it was, and still is, viewed as an enjoyable category by many. The same could happen for this new defined category, but as I said, noone wants to do paramedic and you may as well do 100%. Plus, invalidating the 12+ runs currently on the leaderboards is something that is undesirable, so in the off chance that this definition does take off, it would be a completely new category in itself.
The best/worst we can do for All Missions currently is change it to a misc category.
Will there be opportunity to shower at the Kulturhus? (The showers used in 2013/2014)
Will these showers offer any form of privacy or are they these horrible communal shower hubs?
