Article: The Great Queue

The Great Queue

A report from the queue this day.

THE GREAT QUEUE

When looking at the queue outside of Vikingskipet, Hamar, where this years "the gathering" has just started, it seems like the worlds biggest computer party attracts every single teenager in Norway. The first people arrived at the outside already 5.30 am. They were the first to break the quietness(?) in vikingskipet around 9.00 am, and from then the queue has been total. We talked to a few of tg's participators in the line, and got a pretty good impression of what people think.

  Our first target was Torbjørn G. Galleberg aka ..()HotDog[5], and we asked him a few questions:

Is this your first TG visit?
- Yeah.

What do you think of the very long queue time?
- I think it's too much queue, and there should be more entrances

What expectations do you have, and what will you do at TG?
- I want to Play Starcraft, starcraft and ofcoz Starcraft. I will also play quake and a few other games.

Do you think the crew gives enough information/is helfull enough?
- Yeah, I think the crew is great, but their sweaters are ugly!

Is there anything you want on the web page?
- I want better info than last year, maybe #tg00.info. (this channel exists)

Well, Torbjørn looks pretty busy right now, so we moved on to our next victim...erhm target: (we asked him the same set of questions)

  Name/nick?
- Bjørn Einar Paulsen / Partypop

Is this your first TG visit?
- Yes

What do you think of the very long queue time?
- It's shit, there should be more entrances or maybe one entrance for outgoing and one for inncomming people.

What expectations do you have, and what will you do at TG?
- Game a bit, WaReZ, and I will participate in the multichannel music compo.

Do you think the crew gives enough information/is helfull enought?
- When you finally find one, yes.

Is there anything you want on the web page?
I haven't been able to visit the web page (lamer).

Now, while we was talking to our man Partypop in the queue, a tough-looking guy showed up, and with a dark, scary voice he said: "give me that shoppingcart". It now turned out that both HotDog and Partypop was bad people, they had shamelessly stolen carts from CC, a store just around the corner. After this horrifying truth was discovered, we turned our backs to them and will never talk to them again.
Then, when we were looking for our next victim, it showed up right in front of us. We grabbed our trusty old pens and blocks, and started shooting the questions:

  Name/nick?
- Dear Kim / melkor

Is this your first TG visit?
- No, I was here in '99

What do you think of the very long queue time?
- I think it's really cool, I love standing in a queue, the entrances should be smaller so the queue would last longer. I love the fresh air, and the sun shines brightly on my face.

What expectations do you have, and what will you do at TG?
- I would like to destroy TG's image, and destroy as much as I can.

Do you think the crew gives enough information/is helfull enought?
- Yea, the crew is greeeeat, show them the money!

Is there anything you want on the web page?
- Dead animals, porn and nude pictures of the info:web crew.

Now, after hearing this we became so depressed that we decided to cancel our interview round, and move on to more important tasks. So thus, our mission here is done. Look for more quality writings from Info:Web.
