At the Oasis smoking is allowed from 10 in the morning until 1 at night. Smoking after 1 is not allowed due to consideration for the neighbors.

DIT means Do It Together and is just about the most important and unique thing about Fastaval. At Fastaval you’re neither a guest nor a customer, but a participant. This means that in the course of your Fastaval, you must give a couple of hours of your time to the community. It is YOUR and our Fastaval, and that means we all help out to make everything come together. Every year the DITs do their part to ensure that Fastaval has a working common area, roleplaying games, clean toilets, sandwiches for the hungry, the Oasis, the Bar, and everything else.

The way that DIT works is that you sign up for one or more tasks. By default, you get just one task during Fastaval, with which you help an area. It’s nice, and you meet lots of good people from the whole convention. It is so very nice that every year there are Super DITs who choose to spend their whole Fastaval helping out.

How to become a DIT

DIT service is mandatory (unless you’re already some sort of organizer). You sign up for DIT when you sign up for Fastaval. Here you can indicate when you would like to help out with DIT, and you have an opportunity to influence what you want to do.

If you need to get in contact with the DIT responsible, Nynne, you can call the phone number: +45 61 40 92 63 (only active during Fastaval).

You might DIT in:

• Fire watch (day): A trick for you who are over 18 and have your mobile phone with you. Make sure that no fire breaks out in the dormitory. They usually don't, so it might be a good idea to bring a book with you.
• Service and Food Handling: Kiosk: Filling goods, production of toasts, and of course, customer care, you can get extended knowledge of in the kiosk. A great way to meet people.
• Café: Help in the cafe's kitchen, with the preparation of tapas and the like.
• The Coffee Inn: Help out in Otto's coffeehouse or help with cake baking
• Party arrangement: An opportunity to join the party before the party on Sunday. Arrangement of tapas, drinks, dinner.
• James: Be part of the tradition-rich tänner-live during Ottofesten. Light tasks such as fetching wine, and providing snacks at the tables.
• Bazar setup: Quick and easy work. Most of all handling setting up tables and the like.
• Party setup: As the name suggests, it is about set up for the big Otto party. Arrangement of tables, chairs, and decorations.
• Dishwashing: The traditional dishwashing life. Been around longer than Dirtbusters, but please don't tell them that.
• Cleaning: Closing and cleaning of premises on Saturday and Sunday. An important service.

Date of setup: 3.-4. April 2023

Date of take down: 10. April 2023

Setup and cleanup mark the beginning and end of Fastaval. It is something we do together, to get it done as fast as possible so we can enjoy our Fastaval.

Setup starts Monday morning before Fastaval. We receive the keys for the school at 9 AM and the preparation work for Fastaval starts at 10 AM. Setup lasts until Wednesday at noon, where we arrange and prepare the school classrooms for roleplay and set up the school for Fastaval. During the setup, Fastaval provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner for all of you who are at the school.

Cleanup starts with breakfast Monday at 9 AM, after an amazing Otto Party. We’ll spend the day cleaning the school and restoring it to the condition we received it in. It’s a tough job, but it is a lot easier and more enjoyable when we help each other. Cleanup isn’t done until everything is cleaned and back to the ordinary and the school janitor has approved the school. Fastaval provides dinner, as we usually celebrate the end with pizza on the house.

For both setup and cleanup, we need all the help we can get. Even if you’re only able to help and lend a hand part-time, we would still love to have you.
