I'm home alone this time, no fast mate at my place to run a second host... But I'm trying to organize a HOSTING NETWORK all around the world for this week-end.

[yeldar2097]

i'll be there to take up the reins until around 05:30 (or maybe later) each morning so we should easily be able to get 24/7 hosting in conjunction with the non-euro hosts.

im so excited :dizzy :D

[KIGO1987]

The colours used in this post have given me a headache, lol.

Nice map at the bottom of the page btw :D

[stinkleroy]

Weeeee I'm so happy this is happening again so soon, from the vids it looks like I missed a whole load of fun in March attacks. But now I can look forward to being obliterated in April instead :p

I'll help out in any way needed.

[archman]

Now this is some excellent-looking thread. As always, kanar, you amaze me with your dedication and flawless promotion of Avalon.

Keep it up and stay heavy. lol

I'm definitely in for the host, only if something emergent happens, I'll let you know!
Add me to the map, LOL LOL :D:D:D *kidding*

Outstanding work!

[kanar]

Thanks a lot for your support guys & Cat! I need to practice a lot now, only 2 weeks remaining!!! Cat, we'll keep in touch regarding the host stuff. I'll check my pm box & edit the definitive emergency hoster list soon!

again, thx a lot. :P

Arch, I added you on the ugly map I found on google. I'm at work, I'll make a clean stuff soon lol

[archman]

hahahah, awesome.

You rock! :)

[Darkdrium777]

I'll be there if I can. You are simply amazing friend :o

No troubles hosting if someone needs to, it's just that my internet isn't that great in upload so if someone else is willing it might be better for them to host first (Deactivated weapon pads in weapons on races very fast otherwise). Since this is Avalon it might not matter so much though.

[LOUDandPROUD]

I won't be able to participate on that Fri or Sat, but I should be able to find some time to race on Sun. Can't wait! :hyper

[Mad-Ice]

Looking very professional! With multiple hosts and all. Big thumbs up. I hope I can be there a lot.

[archman]

Hope you'll participate on Pulse too, mad! ;)

[kanar]

yeah, looking reaaally crazy this time lol. Professional? thanks but it still looks fake for me lol. I'm trying to set up a sort of grand finale before the euro convention! And this is my last available week-end before a long time (Bergamo!). And I need a break. :lol. For the moment, we have fantastic & multiples network solutions nearly everywhere; yeldar, Saturn, Asa & Elhabib are up for some emergency stuff. Kigo (Australia), Darkdrium (Canada) will be ok for some host if needed too. Archman will be ok for the pulse sessions, but it would be great to extend the concept to the PULSE part too. What is extremely risky on HD sounds impossible on pulse, but... why not?. We'll keep in touch, feel free to pm Arch or me for the pulse part too.

[archman]

You just gave me an idea! What about implementing a team race into avalon on Pulse, to make it even more interesting and attractive, but to not break the boundaries of avalon (if there are any anymore :D?)? Maybe one session? True avalon style I mean (no weps).

:)

btw.: April Rush? Hell of a cool name!

[kanar]

lol, sure, you can try to organize that. For the moment, let's keep the pulse schedule, & add during the week-end a team race. There's nothing sunday?... More stuff lol. I'll try to help too, if I find time!

[EPSILON]

Excellent Kanar ;)

I finish my cocoon, time to test it with a AVALON dreams !

[Asayyeah]

I ll be there helping hosting Avalon for the glory of that amazing event :cake

[kanar]

Good news mate! I'm just waiting for Blackwiggle answer for now. Well, we have already a cool crew, 2 weeks before the event. Nice. It would be awesome if we could light at least one candle, & maybe 2 when the first is full, all over the week-end. I think we're all in our respective psn list, Kigo you can erase this kanar_is_back s****y ID, he's dead forever (I hope). We could coordinate our efforts from here too, synchronizing/relaying & passing the hosts. Lol, I'm dreamin'.

[Mateo]

I had to miss the march attack, but now I'm even more happy about the soon coming april rush! :nod

[kanar]

Good to hear that Mateo! Ok, I've managed a day off lol. The first race is now scheduled for the first minute of friday, April 3, 00h00 GMT :banzai. As I said, some kind of "grand finale", before a 2 months break.

[AG-wolf]

Maybe I'll put some effort into this one :3 Stock up on the Red Bull, and practice like mad.

[kanar]

awesome AG-wolf, we need fast qirex pilots! ok 100% of the wishlist is up to host some races, & run the no-weapons record hunt. As I said, I'll begin to host in the thusday night (23:00 or 00:00 GMT). We'll see if a second host is needed then. Who wants the first relay? (5:00 GMT, friday morning...) :lol

[RJ O'Connell]

Is it too late for me to possibly enter that weekend? I finally won't have a weekend dominated by other stuff...

[kanar]

Lol mate, I'm actually trying to set up a massive GG (with no filters) all over the week-end, with multiple hosts. The list in the first post is an emergency hoster list, in order to have at least one candle lighted -maybe 2 if there's crowd- during the entire week-end (based on GMT times). RJO, hope you could join us!

Estimated roadmap for day1 (friday ap. 3) so far (GMT) :

00h00------------------->05h00 ---------------------->11h00
-->Host Kanar ---------> Host ? --------------------->Host Kanar
-->(Emergency host)?-> (Emergency host)?------->(Emergency host)?

[AnErare]

W00h00! Awesome :)

I'm definitely attending this time and probably for the entire weekend :D

[Danterich]

I´m terribly sorry guys ! Im suffering a, what i call, "WipeoutHD-Burnout-Syndrome" caused by various reasons.. so, i won´t be an "emergency-host". Maybe i´ll show up 4 some races. All the best and have some real good times on tracks, wipeout-fellows!!!!

[kanar]

no probs mate, I'll take your turn lol. Hope you could join us for some races anyway. My kanar Id is broken again, hopefully kanar_is_back will be there.

[Darkdrium777]

I will not be able to host or join either, too busy with school. :| Oh well.

[AG-wolf]

CRAAAAAAP I work friday, I have to go to a Q&A session at the college Ive been accepted to on Saturday, and Sunday I made plans for lunch and bullshit with a friend of mine I Haven't seen in years ;_____;

I'll try to jump in if at all possible, I'm sorry I totally forgot about this :C

[kanar]

no worries, I'll be there. Whatever the time, the day, the hour. You could jump for some races at any time, if there's remaining slots. Darkdrium I wish you good luck with your school works.

Estimated roadmap for day1 (friday ap. 3) so far (GMT) :

00h00------------------->05h00 ---------------------->11h00
-->Host Kanar ---------> Host ? --------------------->Host Kanar
-->(Emergency host)?-> (Emergency host)?------->(Emergency host)?

(feel free to post here or pm me if you want to host some sessions related to this event, the goal is simply a massive GG room deployment)

[djKyoto]

Maybe I can make this one for a change.

I still hate timezones.

[KIGO1987]

Remember the timezone shift. Aus went out of daylight savings last weekend, when in the North they went into daylight savings. The timezone between our countries have closed by a 2hour gap. Perth is back to GMT+8, Melbourne and Sydney are back to GMT+10, but France is GMT+2 now, and the UK is at GMT+1, now due to the time changes....... **** i hate daylight savings.

[yeldar2097]

you've successfully confused the **** out of me :lol
stupid timezone shenanigans...

[SaturnReturn]

You're lucky he didn't go into the detail of different time zones within Australia. Someone at work did with me and, coupled with all this daylight savings nonsense, it makes it impossible to know when is a good time for Australians. You're better off just assuming they're in the same time zone as us. You'll still get it wrong but it will have taken far less effort and destroyed far less brain cells.

[kanar]

LOL guys, I had the same conversation at work today. You're right Saturn, it's better to ignore timezone. This is maybe the last time I can devote an entire week-end to this game, so why not... playing a lot of wipeout lol. Of course I'll try to sleep a little too. I've finally shooted 3 crappy teasers for this event. Again guys, thx A LOT for your support. We're about to live something really cool this week-end, thanks to you guys. Ok, final training sessions now lol.

crappy stuff :
Meteor2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPrLCzd_DCY) FinalFreak (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmIZEZSr5fQ) SharkRemix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw7R4pWRmC8)

[LOUDandPROUD]

Kanar, you're hilarious. Once again, great work...loved the shark one! Lol!

[SaturnReturn]

kanar - I'm clear to take the day off work this Friday so can be there for the whole thing. Yayness! Looking forward to it. Let me know if you need me to host and I'll try to be there.

And yes I am sort of taking a whole day off to play wipeout, but I have a whole year of holiday saved up and can carry it over, so it's not as bad as it sounds. I mean, it's not as if I'm addicted or anything.:blarg

[stinkleroy]

Haha don't worry Saturn, if anyone will understand your terrible addiction it's us :p

Nice tearsers Olivier, I'm with L&P I really like the shark one, and thats not just because I love sharks...glad you managed to get them done in time :D

[Mad-Ice]

Thanks for the teasers. I am hyped up right now. I also want to take the day off, but that is not possible for me, sadly.

Go Saturn, go Saturn, lol.

[lunar]

Day off? You lucky so and so, Saturn. But somehow I will juggle real life, football and wipeout to be there a while. I`m looking forward to seeing how Harimau performs, but as a temporary Harimau pilot also feeling slightly like the seal must have felt just before the start of teaser 3 :)

[kanar]

Thx a lot -should I say as usual, awesome- for you support & dedication guys & gals! Saturn you're really nuts -like me, but in better shape lol-. Feel free to confirm or decline the stuff above.

Let's arrange the host relay from here. For the moment, we have this configuration for tonight :

Estimated roadmap for day1 (friday ap. 3) so far (GMT) :

00h00------------------->05h00 ---------------------->11h00
-->Host Kanar ---------> Host ? --------------------->Host Kanar
-->E. Host : Go Saturn-> (E. Host ?)------->(maybe Go Saturn too?)

Kigo my friend! I'm still GMT+1 -Hopefully not more lol-

[RJ O'Connell]

The start time is at zero hour in GMT...that's 6 PM where I'm at...I can do this!

On a second note, I'm going to at least _TRY_ to record some of my races, bear in mind if you've seen videos like these (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxG8teuSio8) they won't exactly be top-quality. And I'll try not to swear at others during the videos. Don't want you all to know what I'm thinking in the heat of battle ;)

[AG-wolf]

maybe I'll take friday off... but then, should I stay home and play wipeout all day, or go out and do stuff with friends? that's a tough decision :P

[RJ O'Connell]

Usually I'll lean towards the latter but I haven't been to an Avalon race all year. They can come visit me, I'm not coming to them today! >_>

[SaturnReturn]

kanar - Not sure I would last all night like you. I can definitely be emergency host until 2am, more than likely can be until 3am. All in my time.
As I type this it's almost 2320 hours in London and according to the internet almost 0020 hours in Paris. Hope that clarifies times for people. Just to try and clear things up. London was in GMT until last Sunday. Now the clocks have gone forward one hour. This is no longer GMT. It is called BST (British Summer Time I think). It's equivalent to GMT+1. However, I believe Europe is now in GMT+2 as their (your) clocks should also have gone forward 1 hour for daylight savings.

I hope that's right.

[stinkleroy]

Ok I'm confused now, why is nobody online?

[Vartazian]

Kind of pissed I joined WOZ to Late to notice this in time...
If you still need people to fill out the ranks for the NA league Ill play... Im on right now ;)

[yeldar2097]

as far as i know (it may not be my place to say), avalon is an open league so there should be no problem with you joining.
still haven't found my ps3... :(

[Vartazian]

I was invited to the league. I just dont think I registered for this competition in time :P

[SaturnReturn]

Vartazian - It's ok. you just turn up, join the right room, and play. No signing up necessary :+

I hosted some races earlier as I couldn't see kanar online but thought it was supposed to be starting. If they're deemed to count by kanar then Wotan broke 3 records already :p

Videos on wegame:

WipEout HD - Avalon - Chenghou - Wotan - 2.04.34 (http://www.wegame.com/watch/WipEout_HD_Avalon_Chenghou_Wotan_2_04_34/) (Fixed:))
WipEout HD - Avalon - Ubermall - Wotan - 1.50.87 (http://www.wegame.com/watch/WipEout_HD_Avalon_Ubermall_Wotan_1_50_87/)
WipEout HD - Avalon - Sol 2 - Wotan - 1.44.09 (http://www.wegame.com/watch/WipEout_HD_Avalon_Sol_2_Wotan_1_44_09/)

[Darkdrium777]

If I am amble to complete most of the work I have tonight I might be able to make it for a bit of sunday. :o >.>

[stin]

I would like to play avalon tomorrow afternoon or evening but I has not played HD for over a month!:eek

stevie:)

[kanar]

Stin, hope you could join us, & don't worry, I'm actually in a real bad shape so I'll take the last place instead of you. I would like to appologize, again, I f****d up. I was too tired last night to wake up for 00.00 BST. I just wake up here (9:17 in France, 8:17 in London). Saturn I would like to thank you a LOT. I really suck. Ok I'm kind of operational to host now. Again sorry for last night, and sorry in advance for my future creepy performances.


but then, should I stay home and play wipeout all day, or go out and do stuff with friends? that's a tough decision :P

You're right, & this is why I need a break after this we.

[archman]

wow, some fancy calendar function on index page. ;)

See ya on track tonight, crew! ;)

[JJPAP]

What a perfect morning. Outside the sun is shining like it always does on Sol2.
Wife off to work, kids institutionalized. A bucket of coffee on the table. Cigs within reach.
AND THE AVALON! Kanar_is_back! JJPAP will be back, as well!
See you.

[il_NIK]

What a deal, JJpap...

me at work :frown:

This was the reason

[RJ O'Connell]

Won't make it back until about 2 PM CDT sadly. Hopefully the racing will still be good! Maybe I can film my POV, seeing as I never got around to it last night. :\

[KGB]

just went through all the forward tracks, great fun. Well done Stinky:lol

Still coming off worse in every collision though :frown:. I will be back;)

[stinkleroy]

Oh what I wouldn't give to change my PSN name...:lol

Great races today, had loads of fun with th enew chat feature too...awesome. I hope I can get back to Avalon at some point this weekend :D

[kanar]

thx to all who joined so far. Got to go to the train station now, searchin' for Flash... no lol. Just my little brother, who don't play wipeout at all. He will join with me the pulse event maybe, & play some bunch of hd too. Be nice with him lol. See you more guys & gals for 20h30 GMT+1 I hope

[SaturnReturn]

I'm just uploading a video. After that I'll be on to fill the gap while kanar's off train spotting. (Unless there's another emergency host that's beat me to it.) I did forward last night and raced forward tracks again earlier. I think kanar probably just did reverse tracks but I missed it so will do reverse and maybe mix in a few forward tracks too. ETA 1915 hours BST (London Time).

[kanar]

Thx a lot Saturn, We're on our way to join PSP & PS3 servers. Kanar_is_back on PS3, & un-gros-ours on PSP. 20:48 GMT+1 here, We're about to jump!

[AnErare]

Damned.. I was joining in on the action until at first WO was starting to show my name as 'PLAYER' on my ps3. Then strange things started to happen with me finishing 3rd and the system showing me as being 3rd but the voice telling me I came in 2nd.. I decided to restart WO but since then I am receiving the infamous network error...

Will try again later, have fun guys :)

[archman]

Avalon on PSP starts now! Join! :)

edit :( I'm really sorry I'm late, kanar... :(

[kanar]

hey Arch, hope I let you the host properly. Me & my bro are totally out of training, on pulse, & more, my bro keep puking everywhere for 2h now cos' of my f*****g d**g. We're about to move to hd through my kanar_is_back id now, as soon as the servers will be up. un-gros-ours is dead. Me too lol.

some words from my bro :

I'm totally ****ed up right now and there are trillions of thoughts blowing in my mind, plus, a lot faster than a piranha in fantom. If I had as much money as sentences ringing inside of my head, I 'd be able to put an end to the economic crisis, right here right now. But sadly I don't have the money, only the **** in my head... have fun!

[AnErare]

I've joined PSP Avalon cause HD is failing me misserably..

[SaturnReturn]

Just finished a session of the reverse tracks. I've been uploading a few videos to wegame so will make a list later. The next one will be the closest I've come to a record. 0.7 seconds behind Wellington's VinetaK reverse time. Which in some ways is a lot but in others is quite close. This is where videos=torture as I watch back all the cock ups I made and wish I hadn't made them. Ah well, it gives me hope. Should give others hope too as there are plenty of folks as fast as me so avalon records aren't out of reach for any of us.

kanar - Can you let me know next time when you start reverse tracks again please? Via this thread if possible. I want another crack at Vineta :rock

Thanks to all those who joined me for the session. Sorry to kgb for the lag etc, but thanks for staying til the end to keep me company when everyone else had left.

[kanar]

uk servers are up, french are down actually. I'll join as soon as I can. Thx a lot again Saturn, you rock. Arch I'll try to join a little more later tonight. Again, Arch, thx a lot too. Got to poop right now lol

[KGB]

are there records of non weapon races somewhere, am i missing something?

EDIT: you needn't apologize saturn i get it all the time

[AnErare]

Damn, Pulse is acting pretty strange as well. I've seen packetmon gaining -11 points with a 3rd place finish.. People at the back of the pack showing up in the middle ghost-like.. Weirdness!

[SaturnReturn]

kgb - records are listed in the first post of the thread for every avalon. So get practising and make one of them yours :D

[archman]

Damn, Pulse is acting pretty strange as well. I've seen packetmon gaining -11 points with a 3rd place finish.. People at the back of the pack showing up in the middle ghost-like.. Weirdness!

Now this is strange...the points seemed ok here at mine...

[KGB]

Of course they are stupid me! sorry:frown:

[AnErare]

archman: I expected it would but surely it didn't :P Pretty funny score alright :)

edit: I'm back online with HD!

[kanar]

LOT LOT LOT OF races here, I'm taking a break with my bro, 30/45 mn. This chatbox feature is awesome, we have the comments of the other rooms in live lol, quite disturbing lol. Saturn, kgb, amorbis, stinkleroy, soccermums, chaos, Greenix -lol- & I forget XX names, awesome chat moments. Me & my bro laughed a lot. Back for 2:00 BST/GMT+1, I'll host the reverse. Guys join the friend chatbox, you could easily find a GG host!

[blackwiggle]

I have been wanting to race but we have had yet another power blackout [ 2nd one this week] it's just come back on.
I thought I would sort out a mass of papers while to power was down,and OMFG what a mess I've created :brickwall ,it's going to take me at least an hour to sort this .

[SaturnReturn]

Just finished for the night. Woo that was fun. How did it get so late so quickly? Is Avalon in a different time zone? Or a time warp? Crazy!

[kanar]

allright, 4:35, what a bombing here. All day. Damn crazy. Vids analysis on the way. Thx a lot to all the aces who joined so far. I'll probably not upload 40 races like last time, cos' I was really far behind so far. But I think I have some cool hunts to show lol. And awful vids of my bro puking in the toilets lol, & exploding 20 times on the track! un-gros-ours rulez lol.

hope to see you tomorrow for day2, 15:00 gmt+1 for me. Feel free to hunt the records before!

[Darkdrium777]

Ehh maybe if I didn't fall through the track I would've stayed a little longer... But I was fed up of losing because of BS netcode and collision issues. :|
If there's one thing disappointing with WipEout HD, it's the online gameplay. I have great fun racing with you guys, races are always so tight and that's good. However with that always comes those damn "lag bombs" that I always get hit by no matter where I travel on the track, and the frustrating ship to ship physics. :|
The falling through the track was just the hilarious/frustrating bit that pushed me over the edge. :frown:

Good races with everyone, and the chat feature is really cool for this type of get together. :)

[KGB]

You seemed to do ok 777, winning lots.

I, on the other hand spat the dummy, too tired and too drunk and getting pushed from pillar to post (lamp).

Great fun though, the chat feature is making me laugh big time. Some proper laugh out loud moments happened last night. couldn't concentrate enough on the racing. :lol

[Darkdrium777]

Yeah well you know that's my problem... I'd always be doing Ok (Finish in top four a lot more) if it wasn't sometimes for these bugs and glitches. It's generally because of them that I finish close to last. >.< I absolutely hate it when a glitch prevents me from playing normally, and this is exactly the situation sometimes with WipEout HD online. :( So that's why the last two races I just sat there... I just didn't feel motivated enough to continue... It's like a barrier that I cannot surpass, but it doesn't show up all the time, just sometimes. But when it does show up it completely breaks the game for me. :/

[Greenix]

Great fun last night! (Forgot me Kanar :()
The chat seems to be the best way for personalities to get out more then the traditional messages. Great entertainment when reading the other room's messages and banter whilst your racing! I wasn't planning to play in Avalon last night but I'm glad I did :)

[archman]

Kanar, I'll start from 19H GMT today. OK? ;)

[Mad-Ice]

I am so sorry I could not be there! I fell asleep last night! Tonight I will be doing something else. So I hope you all will be having fun. Greetz Mad-Ice

[kanar]

no probs Arch, & I'll try to join a little too. Thanks a lot mate, for organizing this pulse event. My mother just picked up my bro, I'm kind of... tired after this crazy day1. But I'll be back for 15:00 GMT+1, probably ah ah. I had a look at the vids, maybe there's some I could upload. Again, a huge thanks to all the pilots who joined yesterday.

Mad-Ice!!! We missed you mate! no worries, sleeping is good for health. You deserve it lol.

I bet you are! You got a new world record on Anulpha Pass Forward with weapons. You managed even though we were all being bombed to death.

I should be turning up some time today to reserve my place at the back of the pack ;). I need practice :frown:.

[EPSILON]

Count on me tonight Kanar ;)

Nyctalopian and Spoon come in my home so we alternate the paddle on my pseudo :P

I'm impatient to fight ^^

[SaturnReturn]

A few more videos here:

Avalon_3rd_March_Sebenco_Climb - A close race at the start but then I start to lose it and Wotan starts to br. Then you start to see the true difference in our abilities.

Avalon_3rd_April_Ubermall_Weapons_On (http://www.wegame.com/watch/Avalon_3rd_April_Ubermall_Weapons_On/) - This is how not to race - so many mess-ups. But still a close race considering there were only 4 of us in it.

Avalon 3rd April Moa Therma When_Avalon_goes_bad (http://www.wegame.com/watch/WipEout_HD_When_Avalon_goes_bad/) - For everyone who gets annoyed with lag (including me) - this is just an example that it happens to all of us sometimes. In particular check out kanar's and Smelly Cat's double team on me around 1 minute in. Harsh guys! (Any tips for Flatland Flyer welcome)

Avalon_3rd_April_Vineta_K_Reverse (http://www.wegame.com/watch/Avalon_3rd_April_Vineta_K_Reverse/) - A New Hope. The race that gave me hope I could get an Avalon record someday, because I got a reasonable time despite a fair few screw-ups. (Yes, lucky with the front row start but still)

Avalon_3rd_April_Vineta_K (http://www.wegame.com/watch/Avalon_3rd_April_Vineta_K/) - The name's kanar, license to thrill. Just a close race between me and kanar.

Avalon_3rd_April_Anulpha_Pass (http://www.wegame.com/watch/Avalon_3rd_April_Anulpha_Pass/) - This one might amuse a few people with my crazy screw-ups. Another "how not to do it" video.

Avalon_4th_April_Chenghou_Crazy_Eliminations (http://www.wegame.com/watch/Avalon_4th_April_Chenghou_Crazy_Eliminations/) - Again, don't follow my crappy racing as an example. But there is a couple of fun explosions in this one.

Hope a few folks enjoy those. I'll try to get some more up for tracks I haven't posted, especially reverse tracks.

[KIGO1987]

****ing **** servers i cant seem to get into any of the games :(

[kanar]

gah little 30/45 break here, after a great forward trax tourney. Saturn thx for the vids, you uber-dedicated passionated mate, and you're so right, we're not racing simply to be the first, we're racing cos' it's freakin' fun too! You can suck all night, respawn, explode like me & my bro did last night, it's still a F*****g great experience lol. I'll launch an airstrike on youtube sunday night, after selecting some cool races lol. Hope to race you more later guys! (17h45 GMT+1)

SL please save AUSTRALIA & my mate KIGO, I want him racing, not disturbing me in the chatbox, making me laughing constantly lol "cambodia kanar" WTF? LOL

[KGB]

Avalon 3rd April Moa Therma When_Avalon_goes_bad (http://www.wegame.com/watch/WipEout_HD_When_Avalon_goes_bad/) - For everyone who gets annoyed with lag (including me) - this is just an example that it happens to all of us sometimes. In particular check out kanar's and Smelly Cat's double team on me around 1 minute in. Harsh guys! (Any tips for Flatland Flyer welcome)

thats what it is like for me all the time :frown:

[kanar]

Keep it up Kgb, you worth it. I'm still amazed by the fact the entire planet can join a euro room. Ok it's a little weird sometimes regarding the physics & lag issues -of course-, but what a feeling to meet the best pilots from all over the world. A real -addictive- pleasure. Yeah sorry Saturn Cat & me tested our future double team strategies lol.

[KGB]

Made a swap back to AG systems just before my Avalon stint today, a much better showing and managed to beat 2 of my best times which always makes me happy. Good times. Cheers Kanar :lol

[SaturnReturn]

kgb - I'm watching videos back and you won a lot of races. Definitely seemed to be performing well, perhaps up until the early hours last night, but wasn't there vodka involved by that time? That could explain it :p

[KGB]

Had to top it up with water so my missus thinks i didn't drink that much. The fool. ;)

UPDATE: I have put so much water in it, it has frozen! knew I shouldn't of put it back in the freezer

[KIGO1987]

SL please save AUSTRALIA & my mate KIGO, I want him racing, not disturbing me in the chatbox, making me laughing constantly lol "cambodia kanar" WTF? LOL

I was absolutely bored s h i t less not being able to get in the HD online servers, but was still logged into the PSN.

I typed in Cambodia Kanar cause someone else said there where that many bombs and mines in that race i decided to reply in the same way Blackwiggle tells me "Cambodia"

Sorry about the online spam in the Chatbox guys i was on the brink of death of boredom. I can imagine all those irritating msgs coming up on the top right of the screen during those milli second battles when any decision can ultimately change the fate of the race.

Im just thinking some of these video where recorded were'nt they. I can imagine the infinity amount of cursing seen in the top right of the screen for all to see. At least ive learned something new tonight. In France you dont have toilet paper.

[Eloï]

ROFL I hope this appears in vids

[stin]

Kanar, I`m really sorry about Avalon, because I was having major problem with my special toy (yeah right!), my main reason was, I did left it too long well tooo long, like over three hours and I was struggling to sort my psp back on.

All I can say is, I`m really sorry about this.:(

stevie:paperbag

[kanar]

lol no worries stin, I feel guilty too you know, I quitted the pulse session after 1h00 myself. I would like to thank you Arch for your dedication, that wasn't easy to bring back pilots on pulse. Infax, thx for your incredible disponibility. If I must admit I don't follow you when I read you sometimes here, I'm happy to see I can't follow you on pulse, cos' you & Arch are really awesome pulsers. Ok. After a kind of "vague melancholy" (by the way thx Arch for your words) lol, I joined the furia on HD. Again, what a night. This chatbox feature is awesome, lol. Ok, I've to go out now, to steal toilet paper at my mother's place. I'll be back on HD for 15H00 GMT, 16h00 local time for day3. Hope to race you more guys & gals. Cambodia Kanar_is_back!

Hey Kanar and everyone!
I am terribly sorry I couldn't make it to this Avalon tour at all - my life is pretty f*cking crazy at the moment, but I promise to report for duty on the next Avalon!
Would've loved to race you all - see you soon I hope...

[blackwiggle]

Had some nice races with you guys tonight.

But that text chat was driving me nuts,it kept micro glitching my screen during a race,very off putting.:frown:

Hey Kanar.

Are the people in BOLD in your friends list Kanar?

[designer_79]

Wow , first time Avalon racing and i have to say it's tough!!!!! But also very addictive ... I learned something: Chaos80, Greenix, SaturnReturn and a couple others are uber-human or even superhuman ... your race times are just unbelievable ...

[Darkdrium777]

Are the people in BOLD in your friends list Kanar?They are people from WOZ-WOA, except for Chiryu007 AFAIK.

[KIGO1987]

ah k. Thanks D777.

didnt know Petit-Scarabee had a PS3.

[SaturnReturn]

I learned something: Chaos80, Greenix, SaturnReturn and a couple others are uber-human or even superhuman ... your race times are just unbelievable ...

Thanks. Any time anyone puts me in the same bracket as those guys it's a big compliment :D

[AnErare]

You belong in there and it's well deserved Saturn, please be so kind and accept it ;D

Thanks all for the wicked weekend, Avalon is truly awesome. I'm waiting now for all the vid's to show up :)

[KGB]

Is avalon still on? not been able to get online yet.

[SaturnReturn]

Thanks AnErare. A few more videos have gone up from me on wegame. You can see them on my profile. Still not many so far because I've been busy playing, but hopefully there will be lots more to come.

SaturnReturn on wegame (http://www.wegame.com/users/SaturnReturn/videos/page1/)

EDIT: kgb - I think it's still on. I should be online myself later and think kanar is probably still on now. But might take a break soon as he wasn't far behind me on forward tracks. Might already be on a break. I think it finishes late tonight though.

[chaos80]

Wow , first time Avalon racing and i have to say it's tough!!!!! But also very addictive ... I learned something: Chaos80, Greenix, SaturnReturn and a couple others are uber-human or even superhuman ... your race times are just unbelievable ...

LOL never thought... you must have mistaken me for someone else :D

[designer_79]

Nono , I am not mistaken ... after like 15 races the big picture was pretty clear. And chaos80 you finished one of the top 4 in almost every race ;-)

[kanar]

Lol I'll launch the vids upload in the night. Sorry in advance for the shitty youtube quality, I'll make an account on Wegame soon. I'm on a 45mn break, I'll go out online for a last hardcore session for 20h30 local time (19h30 GMT).
Elhabib we miss u!!! Lol kigo, I put in bold the fast dudes... Even the infamous one. Avalon is like Switzerland; a kind of neutral space, where we try to forget our enmities/hostilities during a week-end lol. He's not on my friend list anyway LOL. Blackwiggle you're so right, this chatbox is really cool but disturbing. We have our chatbox mvp for this we, it's you kigo. How many bad racing lines or respawns cos' of you lol. But what cool laughing moments!

I just noticed the calendar section at the bottom of the forum main page. Funny stuff indeed Arch!

[AnErare]

Yeah, the new chat feature is really adding to the already prevalent suspense. Very nice in commenting on races just passed or random clatter to entertain each other in between races ;D

I've seen lots of occasions where we'd excuse certain stupid mistakes only to be responded to with harsh brutality :cake

[KIGO1987]

This would be funny seeing it in the videos. I guess as soon as im able to hit the servers again ill have a million quakes and missiles heading right up my ****ing arse, from all the people that i have pissed off. lol. Dont blame me, blame that ****ing 2.70 for the chat, and it ****ing up my PS3 and making me do FA all weekend.

[kanar]

Well, well, well. I'm... finished. What a marathon. Thank you guys & gals for this marvelous _freaky_ week-end. I'm happy cos' again I raced a lot of people from here & arena. That was a big fiesta. I had the feeling to be in that chatroom with you guys, cheering me up just after my Icaras burned 2 or 3 times in the previous race (I was awful this we). LOL. This community is awesome, & I was honoured to read it in "live" at the corner of my screen all this we. But as you know, What goes up, must go down. I have to go back to my real life & get back control of myself. this is not related to this place or this game (well maybe a little lol). I've some real probs to deal with. Thanks a lot, really, for your incredible support, all through this year... What an incredible story. World of wipeout. The best game ever. lol. I'll upload some vids soon, I'll try to find the rare ones where I'm not chatting/giving a phone call/opening to a friend lol, or dying/respawning 10 times. Hopefully I had my mate Saturn with his awesome skills & his wegame account, thank god we already have great vids from you. Arnaud thank you too a lot. For your nice words on msn, & your support. I wanted to finish this post with you, cos' it's ALL YOUR FAULT lol (and Flashback fault too) if I'm a wipeout addict. I love you. And I love you all. Well, enough with my stupid words. Time for a break. I wish you all a GG soon!

Thanks a lot this weekend kanar, was truly epic...I sucked but epic all the same. Awesome job, you deserve your rest! ;)

[Motorsagmannen]

Kanar... may the cafeine god keep mercy over you. i defo LOVED the avalon concept with all my heart. first day i worked untill late night, then i daaylighted it and went to work the following day. last day i was shitfaced drunk :beer. this is acctually the most enjoyable time i ever had online ( i feel all warm and fuzzy from all the love :D )
im still trying to keep up at all with the ace pilots but even though i got my face kicked in i enjoyed all the avalon races. ( off topic: i tried hosting my own room for an hour but without zoners i felt lonely. and besides i was kicking ass, which is unnatural for me to do nowadays on phantom.)

[kanar]

thanks Motorsagmannen, & thx a lot to EVERYONE who joined this big fiesta. DAMN DAMN DAMN work. I need a real clone to manage this stuff. Thank you a lot SaturnReturn, awesome support you provided me in this epic week-end. I put links of your vids in the front page of this thread. I was able to upload 3 vids (had no time to put the links here yet) on youtube, but it will take me the whole week -maybe two- to sort this stuff. I think it worths it, cos' I enjoyed watching these awesome bling brigade races last night (well, I'm still in World of Wipeout, couldn't clean my place & get back to reality so far LOL). Maybe you'll like 'em too. I'll try to put the best vids on wegame too, but as I said, I'll need time. Links above are Saturn vids.

Ooh by the way, there was a competition stuff lol. I found interesting to make a "fantastic four" pick instead of the "traditional mvp kind of award lol". The four aces quoted in the first page raced in the record times almost every races. CrAzY.

[SaturnReturn]

Thanks kanar. I have a couple more videos on wegame now but I've actually switched to youtube. Why? Because wegame gives you no choice of file size/quality. I've experimented with settings and now I can get reasonable normal quality videos on youtube, with the added option of HD. The HD file will be about 60MB. Wegame makes all my videos 60MB no matter what. So those with slower connections will be put off. Youtube HD is still slightly lower definition than wegame, but it's not a big difference. If you're camera is standard definition though, I'd stil go wegame, as the quality will be much better than youtube, and it's less hassle with transcoding.

Videos (mostly forward again, more reverse vids soon I promise):

Very nice skills Saturn on Ubermall. I tried to do that short cut 5 times as well, didn't make 1 of them. :lol I need to practice a little.

[djKyoto]

Sigh. I missed it again. Sorry yos. Daylight saving n shitty timezones, busy weekend etc. :|

[SaturnReturn]

Thanks kgb. I think that's the first shortcut I've gotten the hang of so far. All the others I suck at, especially if they involved a boost. I often end up in the wall. I actually only got the hang of this one since the last Avalon. I watched one of kanar's videos and saw that he sideshifts it. Once I started doing that it was much simpler. So I owe him for that one, as well as the bit on anulpha where you drop off the bridge and barrel roll. On that one I actually did sideshift when I shouldn't have. Goes to show how subtle differences have a big effect on lap times.

You have to hit the pad on the right side and to nose up for that shortcut, mate ! if you don't... ;)

Belated thx to everyone about last WE Avalon the final Rush ! I had a rare time racing alot with my fellow WZ/WA zoners, it was a fantastic 'furiosa' to survive into those races :cold

Of course how can i end without thanking our incredible hoster Kanar, conceptor of a true amazing concept : Avalon (tm)
Merci Ã* toi Olivier :clap

[yeldar2097]

do avalon records count outside of avalon events cos luxoflux beat his moa R time??

[KGB]

Nice to see his form is suffering before our Doubles race tonight! :lol

[SaturnReturn]

I'd like to know if they count too, because I beat all these records by at least 5 whole seconds per lap. I even had video evidence but then my camera magically updated itself and I had to destroy the SD card just to turn it on. Funny how these things work out :p Records for me please :D

I wouldn't have thought they should count. Otherwise, anyone could be on form and go online and bust out an awesome race. Well I say anyone, but I mean about 4 guys in reality. But still, I'd hope that Avalon records can only be set during Avalon weekends. It adds to the excitement :+

[KGB]

Nice youtube races by the way Saturn! I have left a few messages on some. Good that some of my wins have been recorded for posterity.

I'll show them to my grandchildren someday. Just after I've thrashed them on Wipeout14. :lol

[kanar]

Thanks Saturn. But you know, I'm feeling more & more like old snake, tired. Just after one year of intense wipeout way of life lol. Living a double life is exhausting. We'll talk about the future of this league soon. One event per month with multiple hosts recording these times all over the world is something possible, & maybe better than just one fool in front of his ps3 during 3 days. I had my Raiden mate Saturn last time, I'm sure we can coordinate something even bigger if we all agree for a same date/week-end.
