First of all: agreed with Cyd obviously. Second of all and more important: Are you in the community? No. Have you done runs of the game? Probably not. If you're not part of the community, let alone did runs of the game what makes you think you can just barge in an debate the rules WE as a COMMUNITY set up? If you wanna argue about this join the community, do some work in it, do some runs establish yourself and then and ONLY then you earned the right to even start this discussion.

And as Cyd said the rules are super linient, theres really nothing to argue about this.

Case closed

ok this will be a mess but whatever

pros:

• Location is amazing, cant be stated enough
• Info Desk. Felt a lot better organized this year shoutouts to Panda and Pottoww
• Stream 2. The fact that it wasnt in a small room but instead neighbouring stream 1 was pretty good. It felt nice to be able to just hop inbetween to runs at any given time without losing content.
• The general organisation. Everything felt super well organized (sure theres always some issues but that cant be avoided) from scheduling to hosting to tech, every volunteer and team leader did a fantastic job!
• EVERY SINGLE ATTENDEE! You guys make ESA a blast and eventhough theres quite some people i never talked to, all of you make this event feel like home and a 2nd family <3

cons:

• Nothing that ESA organisation can really do about (maybe inform them beforhand somehow idk?), but McD isnt quite the best. Its the only thing thats open rather late and their service is sub optimal, wrong orders, horrendous waiting times.
• Spacing. Theres not enough space at the point where ESA is now. Alone the NES crew takes up a huge amount of space. That combined with Street Boyz left hardly any place for others. Same goes for the PC room, not enough PCs and it was always super crowded.

Special personal con: A specific crew saying they need EXACTLY the monitor i was using during practice, while they had another one which was like just a tiny bit smaller feels a bit weird. Especially not nice if you agree to the monitor change mid practice run which somehow managed to crash the game and then comming back IMMEDIATELY after saying they solved the problem. Not nice, not nice at all, that whole community is dead to me now

All of the good stuff has been pretty much said allready, same goes for the negative stuff.

• The energy levels and enthusiasm this year was absolutely amazing, which wants me to support the event again/even more with runs now than before (and i hope im not the only one who feels that way)

Really minor negatives:

• Mafia definatley needs a bigger room hahaha
• Stream 1 needs the couch back tbh, its more comfy if you're sitting for longer

Ill be in Copenhagen on the 20th around 19:10 if anyone wants to meet up there at that time. Im flying from Zurich if some is there aswell
