[[Demoniak]] actually came here before everybody(builder) else as he is also an Amiga legend as well. He later chose to avoid the event in order to avoid MacDeath (quite understandable). ;-pHe actually coded a small intro for CPC during the event (unreleased officially) [https://cpcrulez.fr/demostestDO_intro_alchimie_2007.htm Link at CPCrulez Here]

MacDeath having his 6128PLUS, ROMbox by Bryce and PC to write any 3"1/2 dsk possible on display, impressing Amiga fans with SymbOS and all the nice classics and Demos. AST came to pay a (short) visit as well. This year, nice mouse pads were produced as merchandizing / goodies.

Now with a handfull of Amstradists, the take over may start, and the now Amstrad corner is sieged for the first time. AST, OffseT and POWER could bring their reputation and expertize into the fray. Talking about Fray... A medieval martial art association came to give some nice demonstrations and re-enactement of the Atari vs Amiga wars of the past. This year decorated drinking glasses were produced as merchandizing / goodies.

This year '''more than 20 French Amstradists''' came to the party which also saw 3 Amstrad releases, while many are often seen posting at [[Forum|various forums]] such as [[Amstrad.eu]] or [[CPCRulez]], other peoples simply came with Amstrads along other machines because you know, AMMMSTRAAAADDD !!! The Organizers really appreciated that those many Amstradists came to revitalize the Party with good humour and a huge crocodile, the best thanks to be done to the TripleA association is to come to release nice prods there. MacGyver spent the whole event to demonstrate the PinScreen in the "Amstrad corner" and some conferences were held by Roudoudou, MacGyver, PulkoMandy. Khomenor covered the event with many Twitch lives with 2 webcams and many drinks were had. As always a concert with AY/YM chiptunes was given on Saturday night. Also it was steaming hot because of some heating system malfunction and a few power shortage here and there due to some misplaced red power-off button and the many 30+ years old machines working. This year, nice mouse pads and bags were produced as merchandizing / goodies.
==== Alchimie 13 – 2019 ====

'''Roudoudou''' produced an '''invitro demo''' for the event : '''Rouleau de printemps''' by Roudoudou / Resistance, on Amstrad PLUS.
This year's Alchimie goodie was a plastic cup. many VIP2020 demoparty coffee mugs were offered as well.
'''Almost 30 Amstrad active sceners''' or user attended the party (on a total of 169 reservations) which was probably one of the biggest de-facto "Amstrad" (french) event since quite some time. Twitch Live streams by Khomenor and JBleDaron were covering the whole event, NoRecess could come from far Québec to present preview of Sonic GX, Golem13 was also presenting his longer beard and Ghost'N'Goblin PLUS cartridge version preview as well. Targhan peformed some Arkos tracker improvised master class. The whole Impact team was assembled, Vanity as well, the amount of (french) legends per square meters was sometimes impressive (despite on only 2 square meters), yet not a lot of releases beside a pair of graphix or some wild compos from Amstradists. Food and drinks were had, lulz too.
'''Ced''' was awarded '''second place in 2D graphics''' with a nice Amstrad CPC full-screener.
'''JBleDaron''' was awarded 1st place in streaming music with "quelque chose de CPC"
'''Khomenor''' and '''MacGyver''' were awareded 2nd place in Wild compo with Pacothon (pinscreen animation + remix song with samples from JBleDaron twitch livestreams).
'''Overflow''' was retiring as the Legend he is, giving place for all the other legends to exist again. He was last seen as a Spectrum48 scener, doing MSX ports for Alice computers.

Finally after many spams of reports of his previous editions in lenghty posts at various amstrad Amstrad Forums, MacDeath managed to convince two other renowned Amstradists were lured to come taste the event, the food and the wine. With an amstrad Amstrad Legend such as Overflow and Hermol the webmaster of CPCrulez website, this may take -on at lastwith the aim to open south-east Amstradists to other retro-community and have a proper local annual gathering. Halas, Overflow was totally unknown as a legend therehere, this injured his pride so he sweared to the gods of code that one day he will be recognized at last and began a long work to the tops of the Demoscene to re-affirm his status one day.

Again the amstrad Amstrad contingent grew stronger, with the addition of Roudoudou a well known french scener and a legend to become. Overflow already started his ascension to Godhood of code earlier with his release IO on MSX at [[Forever]], he would later say : "what limitations ? No one told me I couldn't do that"... Yet a sordid and treacherous compatibility scandal almost rendered his effort vain.
