How many nights in a stand?

mloc

Some dubious goings on at the moment with after exam events. Whilst the 12 night stand is official, a competing 14 night stand also purporting to be run by UCD ents is appearing on posters around college.

Yesterday I saw some familiar faces tearing down the 12 night stand posters to replace them with 14 night stand posters in Mervile.

Curious.

14 night stand has some nights with events on in three different clubs, surely thats a pisstake? I seriously doubt any one ents campaign would have three nights out organised for the same night, its a recipe for half empty clubs and **** nights.

Red Alert

Given the current farce that this year's ents officer was would you be that surprised?

dajaffa

I know Ents were ringing around class reps etc and I presume the nights with a few clubs are days when theres loads of people finishing.

Now as for the 2, I don't know whats going on cause they both appear to be being done by Ents, thou the 14 nights one is more recent.

mloc

well from what I saw yesterday the 14 night stand posters were being put up by two guys... one is not running ents yet, one is not running ents any more.

figure it out yourself.

yep thats pretty much it, the one that is not running ents any more did it last year as well and makes a fair packet from it so the other one is joining him. It all seems very bitchy and the unofficial one seem to be in trouble for tryin to make it look official

That's 26 nights altogether. That's a lot of nights.

singingstranger

Most X Night Stands as far back as I can remember have had parallel events running in different places on the same nights. Really, given the number of people liable to be finishing up on any one day and that no one nightclub could really hold EVERYONE who wanted to go.

Mind you, they're all "Official" because there's no single body that would have to endorse any...

tintinr35

there all pure Shít anyways!!

I'm now under the impression that some promotions which may have been roasted are behind the 14 one, which also has the 07/08 ents logo... don't have the time to properly find out what the story is with it.

I've received two conflicting text messages and each advertises one or other of the following bebo pages:

http://12-night-stand.bebo.com/
http://14-night-stand.bebo.com/

Maybe 12 is Holly Irvine and 14 is Stephen Quinlivan, or even vice versa, although 12 being organised first I would have thought was HI's gig... Anybody any thoughts?

Red Alert

my money would be that the unofficial one would probably be better organised :rolleyes:

I'll second that

one of them is organised by anto kelly or conor buckely i think

12 night stand is current UCD ents crew e.g. holly etc.

14 night stand is kelly, buckley and quinlivan. Quinlivan on board for the Ents moniker, methinks. Rumour has it major money involved.

Stepherunie

This is all very odd as I seem to recall Stephen helping Holly to poster for the 12 night stand.

Something smells of a fish to me.

EDIT: It's also interesting to note that both Stephen and Holly texted all the class reps separately to find out when people were classes were finishing up. They were also sent a day or two apart. And I don't see why Stephen had access to my number, I'm a class rep but he shouldn't have access to my number for this sort of thing. Holly should as ents and I've no problems with that but he was not acting in his capacity of Finance officer.

dajaffa

As far as I know the SU got the 14 posters taken down cause they had the ents logo them + they're not being run by ents.

So I'm endorsing the 12!

gubbie

Huh?

On the 14 night stand it has a widget countdown to the 12 night stand...
http://www.bebo.com/Widget.jsp?WidgetId=4049977829&MemberId=307079206

Its pretty stupid

Stepherunie

Anyone else notice how the 12 night stand bebo appears to be Laurence Banvilles Bebo page?

mloc

ah good old ucd, so much for the data protection act.

to be honest, i dont really mind. my biggest concern is that with 4 events on the night i finish, it'll be hard to get everyone to go where I want.

other than that, fair play to anyone who does well out of it. ucd is being run as a business these days so I guess societies and ents can do the same.

Don't forget about Trinity's 10 night stand! Amateurs.

On the flyer which was shoved under my door for the 14 night stand there are only 13 nights advertised. And fm104 must be sponsoring it because their logo is in the corner.

Funny, anyone who got the 14 Night Bebo circular will see me commenting that on the list circulated, it's now 15 nights apparently...

I Know The Ents Officer Very Well And He's The Best Thing Since Chef's Tomato Sauce. Oh, And Check Out Upcoming New Shows On Ctn Too. Awesome!

Capitalising Every Word, Especially When You Have The Username That You Do, Makes You Appear Like A Troll If Not A Fully-Fledged Bot.

And that's not even to mention Hullaballú's Spell Czeching spidey-senses right now, nor the fact that the above comment is both factually inaccurate (in that Stephen isn't the Ents Officer yet) and off-topic.*



* I know that's a bit rich considering the amount of spamtastic off-topic posts I've been known to make but srsly.

3 things:

1) Steve is a good dude, but he's not Ents officer just yet. He's Ents officer elect.

2) Chef Tomato sauce is absolutely disgusting. My aunt used to buy it cos she said it used to last for ages. I asked her why it lasted for ages and she said "noone will f*cking eat it"

3) What have you got to do with CTN?

Cos88

So, putting it simply, Trinity have a 10 night stand. We have a 12 night stand. And a 14 night stand. Which accidently advertised as a 13 night stand, but could now well be a 15 night stand. And all I want is a 1 night stand. Typical.

The 14 night stand is for all the colleges. There's posters for them in TCD and DCU too

Raphael

It's quite ammusing, there's a pair of posters just outside my door, one for each side by side. Gave ma a giggle.

Riamfada

is anyone actually go to any of this ****?

Ah yes, Stephens text. Abuse of office anyone????? Lack of regard for data protection. Anyone? Anyone???

And yeah, have to agree can't beat coppers for a post exams night out, well maybe Doyles, that's where I went this year.

gubbie

I won't lie to you. I saw Anto Kelly. I got excited

Himself, Conor and your-man (them two that were always helping Anto with the ents night dealies) were out advertising the 14 night stand. I mentioned it to Michael Pat and 2 minutes later they were out just infront of the 14 night stand people. Its like a war between the 2

mloc

hilarious stuff, if only one of them would win and i could just go out on the piss instead of being stuck in this library... poosticks.

cast_iron

Since this 14 night stand crowd are not part of UCD, can they and all their posters/fliers not be removed?

And since people know who is behind it, can they not be warned not to advertise again on campus?

Or am I missing something?

Stabshauptmann

Yes people would be within their rights to remove the 14 night stand posters, but whats to stop that crowd then ripping down the 12 night stand posters in revenge, whether they've a right or not.

jimi_t

They were canvassing with all the fervour of FF today up in the RDS. I'd rather shoot myself in the foot than attend any of these tbh, they only get progressively worse. Word to the wise is that the best UCD night out will be in Break for the Border on wednesday...Pity about the lack of parties with ppl moving out for the summer all the same though

DirkVoodoo

Well, if anyone is headin out tonite tis my birthday! Was thinking of the "stand" in citibar, but we'll see.

That doesn't really wash an an excuse. It's like saying they won't enforce a litter fine because they may litter in protest.
UCD usually have no problems enforcing the ban on outsiders advertising around campus - I can't see why now is any different. Should the SU not be making a bit more noise on this blatant breaking of the rules. Or is there an exception being made for some unknown reason?

Stepherunie

Could it be possible that they are for some unknown reason in fact leaving them??? I wonder.

Also was the new UCD ents logo placed on some of the 14 night stand posters? That may explain why they were not removed.

I think I read a few posts back that the ones that had the logo were taken down - and replaced with ones without the logo.

The people organising both events know each other. I dont really know either set personally or whats going on, but Id imagine just out of common sense that no one wants things to turn bitter or nasty.
