    Re: Thank You To All Survivors From 75 Nations!

    by cegr80 » Fri Feb 16, 2018 8:16 am

    My favorite year so far (my second cruise, LOL) both in terms of quality and quantity of great bands/shows. Also had a chance to meet more people, but you can never have enough, right?

    Oh and Grand Turk was amazing! Don't know if we can top that destination....

    I filled in the survey, but when I clicked Next on the last page the site went back to the survey home page, so I don't know if my answers have been submitted or not.
    I any case, I'm not filling it up again.
    I believe this already happened in previous years.

    Same here. The first time I saw a show here I thought that this venue was a joke, but over the time, I learned to love the ultra high energy that you can get only here.
    On the other side, I'm 190cm tall, and I'm pretty sure I would HATE this venue if I was smaller and couldn't see fuck all.

    Same as Godflesh, and fuck the survey.
    It was already the same thing last year, if they're unable to make something as basic as a survey work OK, that's not my fucking problem.

    Me, too. It wasn't the best year out of my 4 and there were a few WTF moments, but it sure wasn't a "bad" year. And I really loved Grand Turk....no surprise there. :D

    I tried it on Chrome and it didn't go through, and got that survey monkey shit on the retry. Then completed it with Firefox. I already learned my lesson years ago and write all comments on word pad first for when it fucks up.

    The lounge is ok if you're on the front row. Friday I was outside in daylight one time, during Swallow The Sun's pool deck, the set itself was pretty fucking dark though..

    I got the same thing.
    So I tried to re-start the survey and a page came up from SurveyMonkey saying "you've already done this survey!" :roll: :roll:

    Two, count 'em, TWO cheers for the Survivors' Survey!

    I tried to restart the survey, but didn’t get that.

    Actually, I kept going and did get this message, so I suppose my answers went through after all.

    No. 60 is just fine. Stop asking for less bands. That's simply lame.

    My survey will be limited to this thing, hoping that Andy will read this post: I've done it for my two cruises, but form now on, I will never buy any 70000Tons' own merch. I know exactly how much a Gildan shirt or hoodie costs to make, for batches that I have no doubt were way smaller than what 70K are printing.
    Selling hoodies 70$ or shirts for 30$ is a fucking joke, and there is not a single cent coming from me on the boat's merch as long as these prices stay the same, I'll only target boat-specific shirts from bands I like from now on.

    60 bands is fine, as long as they're in decent variety. I think that no matter what the move to another boat is, more cruisers, same amount of bands, same amount of days or one more if we absolutely have to.

    The only times why I'd want or accept a lower number of bands would be.....
    -- if logistics required it: time-slot issues, operational considerations, etc. This would include weather contingency planning
    -- if having a drop-dead amazing, but "complicated" band booking required it: Ayreon, Avantasia, Emperor+Ihsahn, Green Carnation, etc., and they might require two slots' worth of time (or money :shock: )

    Maybe fewer bands would give them more time to get everything set up and working right on the first day. :roll:

    The only times why I'd want or accept a lower number of bands would be.....
    -- if logistics required it: time-slot issues, operational considerations, etc. This would include weather contingency planning
    -- if having a drop-dead amazing, but "complicated" band booking required it: Ayreon, Avantasia, Emperor+Ihsahn, Green Carnation, etc., and they might require two slots' worth of time (or money :shock: )


    Maybe fewer bands would give them more time to get everything set up and working right on the first day. :roll:


    Well, assembling the pool-deck stage facing the correct way is also a help. :lol:

    I'd be fine with fewer bands if it meant longer sets.
    I'm only here to do two things: play the bagpipes and gargle sulphuric acid. Looks like we're almost out of acid.

    I'm totally fine with 61 bands. There's a higher chance for diversity which is always welcome. I'm all in for variety even if I don't enjoy some of the genres

    I agree.

    While I enjoyed most of the lineups of 40ish bands on The Majesty, a lot of that was to do with the fact that back then, I had a heap of bands - 9 in fact - that I liked very much and was only the first or second time I had seen them. 2012 had 7 bands fitting that category, 2 in 2013 and 5 in 2014.

    With the passing of years, and 70k's penchant for getting repeats (over half the lineup this year had played 70k previously!!), the likelihood of me getting bucketlist bands that I've never before seen on the lineup drops more and more.

    So any reduction of the number of bands playing even further reduces the likelihood of that.
