### An Imaginary Realtime Article Tale is Told!
    There was supposed to be a proper realtime article for the 2014 Sillyventure party in
    this spot. As generally happens, the precious text, collected over the course of three
    days, is carefully stored on magnetic media that turns out to be as frail as a 300
    metre tower block made out of crystal sugar honeycomb breakfast cereal.

    Then when people ask to see this, apologetic shrugs abound from the organisers, as
    there is only a pile of very sweet tasting dust left, once they've got everything
    back home. The realtime text is now random particles and flavours and no longer
    exists coherently.

    Anyway, to overcome this, I am attempting to recreate the entirety of the
    original realtime, as best as I can recall from my head. This is to make a brave
    and noble attempt at making a replacement realtime text.

    Warning! - Extracting data from inside of CiH's head is not to be recommended,
    or attempted at home by unqualified personnel, especially by CiH himself! Serious
    outbreaks of nausea, hallucinations, mania and self-harm may ensue if you
    disregard these guidelines!

    Further Uwaga! - Any Polish text from the original realtime has been magically
    translated to English by CiH's thought processes. Kind of..

    DAY ONE (Prequel)

    18:05
    Here begins the realtime article for SV214K, write nicely plz- Atari rulez!

    Grey.

    18.47hrs

    CiH logs on for the first time…

    Well we're here at last. That was a journey and a half. Couldn't land at Gdansk
    Airport as they were still hosing debris off the runway from the previous failed
    attempt. Still, it was only Ryanair, nothing important.

    I see the realtime article is back with its usual Portuguese/Klingon hybrid
    keyboard. Amazing what Atari Corp came up with in their later senile years.
    Still time to head off to town as dinner awaits!

    21.5?

    i AM AT PArTY - WhERE IS FReE BEeR!?!!?!

    (Wodka Yakub, A well known Polish uncategorised person?)

    22.22
    It is I, TRONIC OF EFFECT! Back from the mists of time. Oh wow, this is the first
    demo party I've ever been to! Still, I'm all grown up from that optimistic youth
    with a proper job and all, so I'm now known as TRONIC OF EXPENSE ACCOUNT!

    22:32

    Hi guys, Ferlease here. It's cool to be back at the historic Sillyventure Party
    here in Gdansk. I'm waiting for the other two team members to arrive tomorrow.
    Did I tell you, yes Dildo Fatwa have a new demo!

    22.50hrs

    We're sad, we're old and we're calling it a day. A long day starting with
    never-ending bliss at Luton Airport at too far early hundred hours, so it's
    time for bed!

    CiH.

    (Day Two? - First proper day)

    ???

    03.47???
    AMIGAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

    Noone here, it's all dark! Apart from this veeerrry bright screen. Aieee!

    08 27.

    AdamK here. Sleeping at the hostel suckz! No room heater and a temperature of minus
    12! I had to gut a polar bear and climb inside for body heat. Still, I've eaten
    pizzas worse than this!

    08.41

    Hwelo People!

    Graet to be live at the awesomely hot Siliventure 2014K Party!
    Now wheres Dipsy?

    .Chipsy. (A random Polski scener)

    09:24hrs.

    CiH logs on for the first morning session. No sign of breakfast yet, but plenty of
    coffee thanks to the old chap at the front of the school. Ferlease was bringing a
    new demo of some sort with him, but he might have some problems with it?

    09.56.

    A great night's sleep so far at least, much needed by all. Breakfast is due,
    then hopefully the other two team members, Charcoal and Pongo Snodgrass. The first
    Dildo Fatwa group meeting in years! - Ferlease.

    10:38

    It is time for more phat sounds, from Mr STUSTUSTU!

    UltraCzyd (Polish scene musician.)

    1204hrs

    Wow! Hellava journey! I smoked 1116.25 cigarettes to get here!

    Still, the new demo is finished, at 04.00am this morning. Or Thursday morning,
    or Wednesday?! I'm not sure when it is?! WHAT DAY IS THIS?

    Defjam / lsl Checkpoint

    13:19

    Wee ar bak!

    Charcole on the keys of this creasy keybored. A long overedue rebirth of teh
    Magamighty Dilldo Fatwa! Mad journee, aparently Gdanzk airport was closed due
    too a Teknical fault. But they kno that Pongo Snodgrass is koming! Verry
    sensibul people there!

    Pongo kneaded his own plaen. And then they hadd to burn it afterwords! Now
    whears Ferlease?

    ?????

    BeeReree! Wher Is BeeR? b--b-b-b-eeer!

    14:32hour

    Earx here after a stupidly long journey. It looks like I'm the only reasonably
    sane poster on here. Anyway, I used to have hair. It was green (Wistful sigh.)

    15:14

    No Earx, I am the other sane and sensible voice on here! Have you read any of
    the rest of this realtime yet?

    CiH.

    16>06

    Why do all the other potato chips hate me so? - Chipsy

    Beacause you are a potato-headed lamer! - Dipsy!

    16:40

    ABSOLUTE FUCKING NIGHTMARE! - No new Dildo Fatwa Demo today! Ferlease only went
    and recorded it on the wrong sort of disks! When we said 'record the new demo onto
    some disks', we clearly meant 3.5 inch floppy disks. Ferlease has only gone and
    recorded it onto twelve inch vinyl records!

    Now that sort of mistake would have been obvious before setting off, but he didn't
    bother to test anything before getting here. Broke two of them trying to get it
    into his 4160 STE's floppy drive slot.

    So no demo from us, and that REALLY SUCKS!

    A very pissed off Pongo Snodgrass

    16.45hrs

    Ferlease back on to offer an explanation. Those disks were sold to me by Ebay as
    100 percent legitimate Atari compatible floppy disks, they were! The seller said
    that they were standard issue for Hong Kong Atari ST's! - I'm gonna report that
    trader when I get home and I'm really sorry guys. Nevermind, there's the rest
    of the party still to enjoy.

    17:11

    gwEm here at long last! Journey made difficult by Gdansk airport being stuck at
    a 1950's tech level, for an Australian bush airstrip. Unfortunately, there's
    no Flying Doctor Service, just Ryanair.

    17:23hrs

    Glad you made it gwEm. I think we'd better go and calm down Charcoal. He's
    looking for Ferlease and has got a table leg from one of the school desks
    to use as an improvised club.

    CiH.

    18:05hrs

    (Something so impenetrably Polish, it broke the Google translator - in several
    places and very hard!)

    18,14

    Goddam it, that was a rough journey! Our scheduled flight was cancelled. The
    replacement flight was a green painted aircraft, not one of the regular airlines
    I don't think. They didn't land so you had to jump out with a guy at front shouting
    "Green light, one-two-three, JUMP!" So we did. My parachute got hung up on a
     picturesque spire in Gdansk city centre. Deez landed okay, lucky bastard.
    Still we're here now.

    Baggio, the Wandering Swede is back!

    18:45

    Opening ceremony, and Devils show soon!

    Grey (Organiser)

    19:30ish

    gwEm - Wowsa! Great photo's of the hot babes in the devils show!

    gwEm's Polish girlfriend - "What is that darling, let me see!"

    gwEm - "Nooo, it's nothing at all, I'm pressing delete now! Look, I'm really
    pressing it!"

    19:46

    I'm just so overwhelmed to be here with the Atari demo scene greats!

    21:01

    Charcole Hear! - No demo which suxx, but weer off to get drunksky at Stu's
    consert! Ferlease is paying!

    (Day Three)

    00:04

    Stu's concert was a blast! Eardrums and sinuses know that they've had sound
    chip tunes at max volume! Also Ferlease was having to buy a lot of drinks for
    Charcoal and Pongo Snodgrass tonight for some reason!

    Speaking of Pongo, he was very useful in speeding up the otherwise very slow
    door checking procedure at the club. Once the bouncers got a whiff of him,
    they scarpered quick and left the entrance unprotected. So we were in!

    CiH.

    00:21

    One word for tonight. Stu Stu Stu!  - Erm, no, that's three words. I'm so confused!
      Zerkman.

    00:34

    Alors! - We Frenchies defied the puny mistakes made by others in heavier than air
    flight. Instead, we opted for an ultra realistique simulation of my new game
    'Racer 2' for the road journee from La Belle Francaise, to the northerly
    wilderness of Polski Gdansk!

    big mistake! I think I killed one of the miniature toilets upstairs with streams
    of power poo?

    08:54

    Samurai reporting here. I've got a new intro from Inter Developments, but I'm not
    sure if it will be released. My tablet is updating for Windows 8 constantly.
    Still, I think the "Error updating, reverting changes" intro will be a wild
    compo smash!

    09:42

    Slept the sleep of the righteous. Ready for today's competition action.
    Ferlease is thinking of entering one of the remaining 'demo disks' as a wild
    compo entry. Namely for the strange squeaking and growling noises of the data
    being played back in audio. I'm not so sure?

    CiH.

    10:22

    Last night was a blast, breakfast was great. Now there isn't room to breathe
    properly in here, so we're staying in the dining room.

    Laters! - Baggio.

    Lot's of hot sweaty bodies in the party hall - get in!

    11:50

    Ferlease here. With an air of mounting excitement, we of Dildo Fatwa have prepared a
    new plan, in the absence of our planned demo. We're going to do a live performance
    at the wild compo! I've been sworn to secrecy by the rest of the group, but of
    course, being me, I blurted it out on social media to the biggest possible
    audience two minutes later!

    12.13 o'clock

    I want to slleeepp with common people! - Joseph Merrick, The Elephant Man! 1862-1890

    13:26hrs

    Looking forward to the compo's tonight. There you'll see a rebirth of EFFECT! with
    the new Industrially Safe menu disks, not to mention the even newer Agriculturally
    Dubious compilations.

    I'm going out a bit later to stock up for tonight, so I'll be known as TRONIC OF
    GIN AND TONIC!

    Been out to the old town of Gdansk. Me and Deez have been trying the local beer.
    I can heartily recommend the 'Intransigent Countess', which is a light beer,
    4.6 percent alcohol by volume, with a pleasant nutty aftertaste.

    A random series of squeaks and blips announces the start of the music compo's.
    Or is that a faulty microphone at the organisers table?

    Deez.

    But you're a big boy now, you can stay up as late as you like!
    Baggio.

    10:53

    Place your bets, what time will the compo's finish this year? 02:00hrs, 03:00hrs,
    or even 04:00hrs? - I'm going for the middle option!

    CiH.

    (Final day)

    00:16

    The Falcon demo compo's were something else to behold. If Dune's "Aztec Human
    Sacrifice Simulator' doesn't get first place, then I'll eat my ceremonial
    feathered high priest head-dress, garnished with human skulls!

    CiH.

    00:21

    Yeah, some of the best Falcon code I've seen in a long time. Might even get me
    back to coding on the Falc- Wait a minute, type very carefully here! I didn't
    actually say that! - Earx

    02:31

    Yet again, the crazy kid Defjam, or lsl owns the ST demo compo. His tribute to
    Lazer's 'Lost Blubb' demo, 'Lost Glubb' should win this. But I'm a tiny bit
    dubious about Defjam modelling the dancer?

    CiH.

    02:46

    Deez has gone to bed some time ago, the poor little lamer! These were the best
    demo compo's in recent memory that I've seen!

    Baggio.

    03:01

    We're waiting in trepidation for the Dildo Fatwa 'live' performance at the wild
    compo! Then we're off to bed straight after.

    THIS IS AN EMERGENCY ORGANISER PRIORITY ANNOUNCEMENT - ALL PEOPLE IN THE PARTY HALL,

    09:0??

    This is somewhat weird, the realtime machine has been set up in the school
    playground, with a very long extension cable going into the school. Then again,
    the final part of last night was very strange and not a little bit traumatic.

    As it turns out, the Dildo Fatwa 'live' performance was a faithful recreation
    of the Japanese cult TV hit 'I have a bad case of diarrhoea', including doing
    the Zuiikin Gals aerobics dancing in replica neon coloured gym bra's and pants.
    They nearly got away with it, but Pongo got too intensely into his role, and
    followed through with an actual attack of bad diarrhoea in mid performance!

    There are sights that cannot be forgotten, no matter how much professional
    counselling is offered afterwards. That was one of them...

    The other was the sight of 200 plus people trying to leave, all at once,
    through the narrow corridor out of the party hall, whilst simultaneously
    throwing up.

    To cut a very long and distressing story short, the police were there very
    quickly. Pongo has been deported from the country in a sealed crate. We hope he
    chokes on his own foul gases, but we doubt that will happen. A cleaning up crew
    with full biohazard gear is decontaminating the party hall, so that's why
    we're out here.

    Anyway, I think this will be the last posting from this realtime from me.
    I get the impression that Grey wants us all to leave as soon as possible.

    CiH.
