Talk:DecipherCon 1999 Team Event

Team winners (2026-10-16)

2025 DRTORCH interview auto-captions (BillBisco2, 29 May 2025): Feldman said he was the only American on a team of four, named something like "three Europeans an American", and recalled "Martin Logan", "Bastion", and a fourth he could not remember. The wiki had treated those as Maarten Logghe and Bastian Winkelhaus.
Best-supported list is the Trandosite Akesson interview of 31 August 2000: Akesson, Paul Feldman, Koen Meijsen, Yannick LaPointe. Koen Meijsen is Koen Meijssen; Yannick LaPointe is Yannick Lapointe. Feldman's March 2000 Torch Industries pages confirm he was on the winning team and do not name teammates.

Team photo: Decipher's Sunday album photo sun24 shows Akesson, Meijssen and Lapointe; the caption says Feldman is missing. Only the 50×38 index thumbnail (photos/SUN/small/sun24.gif, Wayback 31 May 2000) survives. The full-size photos/SUN/large/sun24.jpg returns 404 on every Wayback host (decipher.com, www, www1), so I uploaded the thumbnail as File:DecipherCon 1999 Team Event winners sun24.gif.
Feldman photo: sun07 ("feet first") was already on the wiki as File:Paul Todd Feldman DecipherCon 1999.jpg, so I reused it rather than upload a second copy.
Searched with nothing more found: Lalumiere's wrap-ups (Thursday to Saturday; no Sunday wrap-up was archived), the Trandosite Akesson interview (an Akesson portrait only), and Star Wars Insider 48 (the World Championship feature shows Worlds finalists, not the team event).

A larger copy of sun24. Kevin Reitzel's public Facebook album "Decipher Days 1996-2006" (facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=kevin.reitzel&set=a.10230980334389335) is not readable without a browser session, so it has not been checked. Comlink Cursor (talk) 00:24, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Team name and roster history come from Martin Akesson's DeckTech report (Preserved copy): the team was "non americans +1". Bastian Winkelhaus and then Martin Falke were named before Feldman joined. The sun24 caption gives the same name as "Non-Americans + 1".
Correction to the build notes above: a Sunday (Day 4) Lalumiere wrap-up was archived, at lalumiere/index.html (Wayback 22 January 2000). It does not mention the team event.
The Photographs section now uses a large packed gallery of each winner's Decipher photo. The sun24 thumbnail is shown on its own above it.
