ELO SCORES (FOR THE RECORDED RACES) : Due to my lack of organization, this part had to be cancelled


Please Pm me for ideas/errors/suggestions


This event is dedicated to Studio Liverpool. I've no words to thank you enough for all these hours of gaming you provided me/us. Every wipeout delivery was a masterpiece. I wish you all the best for the future.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Sign me up kanar, the previous one was brilliant :rock

[kanar]

eh eh thanks mate, we'll probably host at some point with my 2 ps3 here at the bunker, but we'll need back-up anyway. I Just hope my connection will stay alive with this upcoming online mayhem lol

[yeldar2097]

I think Kanar may have caught the Avalon bug again ;)

[AG-wolf]

I wish I had been able to participate in the christmas one D: I crashed my car the second week of december, so Ive been at the mercy of friends to drive me one place to another. The entire christmas Avalon weekend I was stuck at my friends' place without access or attention-span for Wipeout :/

I'll be back at school in a week; maybe I'll be able to find access to unblocked internet for this one in february.

[kanar]

Wish you could make it mate! Car crashed? damn hope it was just your car & you didn't suffer from anything in the accident. Hope you could repair it too.

[AG-wolf]

The car is 15 years old, I'm not going to repair the body work. Other than that;
- replace tire and rim (bent rim in accident)
- replace part of brake line on right rear
- check rear alignment
- bolt generic tail-lights to trunk and rewire

shouldn't cost too much. Have to do it out of my pocket, though, because insurance will total the car. I'm lucky I didn't break any glass, otherwise it wouldn't be worth the hassle. I just need to make it legal to drive again.

All I suffered was a bruised ego, because it SUCKS not having a car lol

[kanar]

Wow, it looks like my Icaras, after Chaos shot me in the ass with his damn rockets :P. Glad you had nothing after this shock. Hope you could have the money to repair it soon mate.

On topic now, and maybe you guys noticed it, ACE-FLO & Dark_Phantom joined the host crew. I'm thinking about a way to integrate the ELO rankings too for this event, thanks to TorquedSoul (YAWL (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/group.php?groupid=35) ELO social group/ WEBSITE (http://www.divergentinformatics.com/YAWL/)). We're trying to find a way to add more feedback to the billions of races we'll play during this week-end, in order to give more weight to the "magec academy"; I mean last event of course Yeldar owned the competition, but a lot of pilots were really awesome too, that's why I think it could be great to introduce ELO rankings. We're working on it.

Finally, I would like to thank all the people who are still playing this game, or pure, or pulse, even if they don't give a f**k about me & my crazy doggedness to organize tournaments. At least we have something in common; we know wipeout is the best game ever.

[yeldar2097]

lol@Kanar :g

Vertigo: More Endurance, Less Talon's --> yeldar go :hyper

[SaturnReturn]

For me, I'd rather not have all races count, as it would take the friendly vibe away a bit. Well it wouldn't really. It would still be friendly and fun, but I always get a bit more edgy if the results actually 'matter' for any reason. I would rather just have a tonne of races where winning or losing didn't matter, so that I can chill out between the (already intense) races. It's more about all being online at the same time anyway I think. Not to mention the shear amount of effort it would take to record the results, even if result input is simple. If there are special events at certain times that are included in ELO rankings, then that could be cool. I think that would be the best way anyway, otherwise people would be jumping in and out between races (some who are on the YAWL site and some who aren't), and I think it would get too messy.

[kanar]

Yeah I'm sharing your point of view Sat, you summed up well the spirit, a world wipeout party, without boundaries. But this time I'll have the opportunity to "live" in world of wipeout during 3 days, and I'll have the support of my mate kaori directly at home; so I think there's a possibility to put some kind of ELO WORLD HOST (eh eh) at some point during the week-end. So we could keep the classic -worldwide open- organization (overall mvp & magec academy), & add specified ranged events for ELO rankings, for the ones who subscribed in TorquedSoul website/social group.
Finally, my point is; I've always worked out to avoid dissipation on too many different things, I know this community isn't as big as the modern warfare one for example, so trying to unite all the good will was always my goal. I've never saw the avalon racing league as the way to flatter my ego, tbh I really don't care, one day I'll move on and I'll turn off the lights. Sometimes I'm desperate to see we're 325 members now, and I'm almost the only one to set up stuffs. I'm 32 now, not an uni student anymore, so I'm really running out of time. Ok sorry guys, I'm stopping my rant now, I'm at the job, one day they'll find out I'm spending my day here lol, so I should chill out a little & disconnect.

[SaturnReturn]

I guess having a general social hosts, and one official AvELOn Leauge :P host on at the same time, or particular times, could work well. There's still quite a while to decide on something. I'm sure you'll come up with something good anyway. That's probably the reason why no-one else really organises - because you do such a good job. I think that people also would be afraid to 'step on your toes' as it's very much your event in most people's eyes. So in that way it's really a compliment I think.

Maybe people will do more of this type of thing in future as interest in the game dwindles. I think it may already be starting to happen.

[kanar]

thanks for your words mate. But you know I always had in mind to create something for the zone, and then one of these days, hand over the maintenance... cos' I thought I could reunite all the people together, & let the zone keep running this stuff without me.

By the way, I'm dedicating my 7588 laps on vineta k Forward and my new personal best 17:80 to the guy who left the social group today. Farewell my friend.

[leungbok]

Ouch !! you "fourbed" me :blarg
:P

[ACE-FLO]

Yo, Kanar - 32 is a good age to be... I think the 30's are all about accepting bigger responsibilities... I'm in danger of getting a lil deep so I'll catch myself before the boredom reigns relentless lol - but will say, I'm 34 yrs young, and love the fact that you gave us Avalon - All of us do mate! It's a legacy, one which I am honoured to be a host for! Let's roll this one out! :rock

[kanar]

thx Ace. Yeah we'll roll this one out again, a last time. Just a quick note to tell you TorquedSoul joined the host crew, as an ELO expert he'll help us to run this new competition. I've renamed this event "Grand Finale" instead of vertigo, cos' this will be clearly, & definitely my last one. Don't get me wrong, no emotional blackmail here. I've just understood a lot of things recently.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Really sorry to hear that it'll be your last event kanar. Hope everything is ok

[TheFrostE]

if this is truly the last one, then i will make an appearance to honor Kanars support of avalon through this time...also my brother just got a ps3 with wipeout so i will have him join the merriments as well.

Avalon...:rock

[ACE-FLO]

I've renamed this event "Grand Finale" instead of vertigo, cos' this will be clearly, & definitely my last one. Don't get me wrong, no emotional blackmail here. I've just understood a lot of things recently.

Deja-Vu recurring, (kidding) Kanar, you gave us a lot of your time, energy and dedication to the creation of Avalon... I look back at the past Avalon threads and read on the first posts that we should PM you if we think you've gone mad :) And we did :) to tell you how much we appreciate you bringing us avalon - the uniting force responsible for bringing every pilot into a monthly gathering of online racing/cruising together. Pulse, HD / Fury - you worked it man! I remeber you joining the Pulse avalon sessions with us, MSN too - What a great laugh that was (sigh) :)

On occasion, you have also hinted to us that you are getting busier with life, we can all appreciate that - thing is, I find it amazing that as a married man, with all the reponsibilties of everyday life, hitting the 30's (more responsibilites) and managing social life/family life/work life - how you still manage to consistently give us avalon is like... WOW man! You hardcore!

YOU NEED A BREAK KANAR... this is wipEout - not Burn OUT (sorry - my humour is dwindling to lameness these days)... I'm bloody well gonna miss your Avalon treats, but feel that there are still enough of us to share the responsibilty of bringing your legacy of Avalon to all WipEout Pilots, in future...

... I sure hope to see you online for races mate, and know you will still visit here at the zone, you have many friends to keep you here my friend!

Avalon, Grande Finale - For Kanar, for the people, for ever... :rock

Roll this one out, INDEED!!!! :hyper

[kanar]

Big thanks -again- for your words Ace, & what a crazy flow lol. Yeah really need a break in fact, when I'm looking back at my recent -trolling? gah:paperbag- activity here. Clearly need to -really- chill out.

Gah just read you Frost & Dark, thx to you too guys. OMG looks more & more like emotional blackmail lol, really sorry about that. But yeah it will be the last one for me, at least for an undetermined period of time.

Ok on topic now, just had fantastic news from my friends eric(d7m) & Blackwiggle; they're joining the host crew!!! That's really going to be epic:rock

avalon is sponsored by http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=1&pictureid=1906 stoned Xpanda

[DeepMix]

sign me up kanar :)

i would like to host but im starting college again in a few days so im not sure if i will have the time for :(

[kanar]

:hyperBig thanks for joining the crew DeepMix! And no worries, if you can host sometimes it will be great, but manage your time as you want of course. College comes first lol! Just hope you could join us at some point during this week-end!
Oh by the way guys, just to let you know, I'll start some kind of "road to avalon" from feb. 9 to feb 19, means I'll be online each days (around 21/22h gmt, sometimes earlier), in order to better prepare myself for this week-end. I've noticed I'm seriously regressing online lol, speed lapping only is definitely not the better option to prepare myself for this upcoming online mayhem, I've realized that last night with TorquedSoul's YAWL rendez-vous lol. Need some kind of acclimatation before. So I hope to see you online guys to kick my a** from feb 9 to 19, and right after for a 24/7 crazy week-end!
And finally, big thanks to all of you for your support, since the beginning. More than one year of crazy tournaments :blarg; That was definitely a great story, and I'm sure this grand finale will be a total blast.

[OBH]

Im going to miss kanars last avalon, and yeldar holds near enough all records.

may aswell just kill myself now :beer

[kanar]

LOL don't do that, you know I'll stay around this -very- addictive place forever now ah ah. Just need a -real- break from this crazy organization stuff. Maybe some people here will be interested in keeping this story alive, I've already made contacts, we'll see what happens. Anyway Kaori resurrected the double ladder (Xpand league now), TorquedSoul did a fantastic job with his YAWL ELO league(s), Metakraken is about to launch the Wwwc tournament... This place is alive and running well. I'll be back for sure with crazy week-end & featurings one of these days, just need to chill out for a moment. And by the way, I'm already engaged with the Inglorious Bastards :pirate(Xpand league), I'll try to attend to some future YAWL tournaments... So it's not a complete retirement ah ah. Hope to race you again soon OBH, I've a lot of great racing memories with you mate.

[ACE-FLO]

I've a lot of great racing memories with you mate.

And I have none :( Seriously though, what's taking BT / Orange or whoever it is that supplying your net - so long to pull their finger out of their bum?

Hope they sort it out for ya, before the Avalon at least, mate! :|

[OBH]

just a slight difference of opinion on how much money i owe them mainly :beer got scammed by their terrible, terrible bt vision. Ill be about eventually (though my ps3 formatted itself so i cant even dl wohd :()

@kanar
a breaks a good idea, get to realise what your missing! :g heres to many more! :beer

[kaori]

Mmm, if i correctly understand, February 21, I'll have to come back home with PS3's kanar order to take a break !

[yeldar2097]

Im going to miss kanars last avalon, and yeldar holds near enough all records.

may aswell just kill myself now :beer

Charming...

:P

[zeeZ]

I might actually join this one to secure one of the places in the rear (if I don't forget to look at my calendar)

[stin]

Kanar!, I`m in!

stevie:bat

[kanar]

eh eh thanks Zeez & Stin for your interest; I'm slowly but surely preparing this last event, gah way too much speed lapping as always (love to listen to my music during these endless sessions, gah kinda intoxicated :robot). But as I said I'll be online more often, from feb. 8 to 18, and after, almost 24/7 with Kaori at home for grand finale. Btw, no way Jonathan :P, you won't go back to your home with my ps3! I've good games to play with after this event, like tekken6, nba 2k10 or mw2, and heavy rain/GOW3 soon... And of course... wipeout hd :nod. I'll do my best to stay around for Xpand & the bastards, and I'll force myself to stop with this crazy speed lapping habit (why I'm always trying to follow the autobots, I'll NEVER catch them lol) to finally enjoy this magnificent ZONE mode. Another way to listen to my music eh eh. Gah this game is way too much addictive...

By the way; important info about the avalon league here. (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/group.php?&do=discuss&groupid=4&discussionid=181&gmid=7494#gmessage7494)

[kanar]

hey guys, can't keep my mouth shut anymore... Can't restrain myself to share a 99.999% sure info (will be 100% confirmed tomorrow) with you... Mr Wotan will join the bunker for this event :hyper:hyper:hyper:hyper!!!:g:mr-t:rock:pirate OMG. Kaori & Wowo with me, what a beautiful grand finale guys... I've uploaded some crappy teasers too lol. Ok now I should practice a little more ah ah

[yeldar2097]

Awesome teasers as always :lol

Me Likey ^_^

[kanar]

ah ah thanks Yeldar, well I don't think James Cameron will hire me with that though, but I'm happy to know my go!Edit crap made you smile guys. Oh by the way, it's 100% confirmed now; with Kaori, Wotan will join me at home for this Grand Finale :guitar :robot :pirate:dizzy :hyper:rock; that's really going to be FREAKIN' AWESOME. Gah need more & more & MORE & MORE practice ah ah!

[Mad-Ice]

That will be a grand finale for sure! And probably dead on monday. Take care mate!

[kaori]

Oh yes, I scheduled to not go working monday 22th 8)

[kanar]

yeah me too, took 3 days out right after the we eh eh, just to enjoy to the max this last one :robot.

[Lance]

It's not a "double" post when they're 5 days apart. :) Less than 1 day, that's another thing.

[kanar]

cheers Lance, yeah you told me that already, this is just I always don't like to post after my previous ones, even some days later. On topic, well, it's done. Just sent the maintenance offer to Dark_Phantom, hope he's still ok to accept it lol. And I hope you'll still continue to join this event after february's one. As I said, this is your event, a big wipeout party for all the pilots around the world, a huge friendly gathering, where people meet each other and share more than just a set of races. The contrary of an ego trippin' stuff, if you know what I mean. Grand Finale, here I come.

[Mateo]

:eek:eek
kanars grand finale? again?:eek


I won't miss this...:+

[RedScar]

That is my reading week, can't say if I will be doing anything with the family but if I'm not then I will for sure make it.

[RJ O'Connell]

Judging by the title of the tournament, will this be the last Avalon?

[kanar]

No mate, Dark_phantom is maintening the league now, I had no more time to keep organizing these events. Hopefully Dark_phantom accepted to handle this. I just changed the pic today, because of this black friday.

[ACE-FLO]

appropriate :) Black Friday... that's gonna stick mate! Good one! :D

Hey guys, despite the bad news today, we've still got a scene. Now I really have to give Kanar big respect because at times like this when Black Friday hit us with a low blow, Avalon seems to shine a ray of hope for the future (pending online games server being left on) of this format... as long as we show an interest, and attend online events such as avalon, and get actively involved the newly formed Xpand League for TEAM RACING, or just go online regular to race - someone out there with a large wad of wonga will see an opportunity to rekindle wipEout. And before we know it, we could have WipeOut HD Fury II ... yeah yeah, I'm an optimist, someone has to be!

The future is euro? whatever mate... We are the future of this format. We let it die... it dies! end of! ;)

[leungbok]

Hey guys, despite the bad news today, we've still got a scene

True mate ! Members here acts like if someone had removed wohd from their ps3 :D WE ARE MAKING THE INTEREST OF PLAYING WOHD !! Not sony, not SL, US, THE FANS. And events like avalon are doing that perfectly ! ;)

[ACE-FLO]

GO Leungy!!! :) My first real smile today man.

NOTICE:

OK, so to celebrate WipEout for its unifying force between an international community, today between midnight and 1am GMT I will host an avalon type event, in the form of a tourney (6 races then break) with weps on and off... I request that all who read this try and attend. Furthermore, if the room does by chance become full (hopefully), you can start your own room in the same format - that way, anyone who cant get in to my room, can see another in similiar format and join... remember, this is for us, to celebrate wipEout!

We shall ride the currents
without regret
with no remorse, and no revenge
just recompense
Ride to race, not for place
remember why
we ride on high

(ok, it was an inspired moment, my buzz has worn off - time to roll another one) :lol

[kanar]

You're so right Ace & Leung...

I believe one of the best thing we all can do to thank & support Studio Liverpool right now is to play online. Like we never did before. I'm a speed lapper from the start, I always prefered to play offline & work my lines, brs and so on. But today I think I must show to those Sony bastards how much I love this game, and the best way is to BURN their servers to death. So...

DECEPTICONS... MOBILIZE!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jia_gfiHh3E)

[Lance]

ACE, that poem is not too shabby. Nice work. :)

[ACE-FLO]

Thank you, Lance :) :) Mate, I don't mind admitting something here - I had a tear welling up whilst I wrote that... I also ended up playing til 4am - right up til my neck gave in...

[kanar]

Hope you could attend to this pulse session mate, MrSmadSmartAlex will confirm soon the schedule. Kaori will join you guys too for sure. We'll arrange a Pure session too, through Ad Hoc Party, and like with Pulse we'll confirm the schedule and which ad hoc & Pure version we'll use for that in the next few days. -9! Need to fill my fridge with Red Bull ah ah

Count me in! I will be around that whole weekend (aside from Saturday night)! Can't wait! :hyper

[kanar]

good to know you'll join us L&P, that's going to be freakin awesome with my two friends at home, with 2 ps3s plugged in online. Regarding the competition, TorquedSoul proposed me to calculate Elo scores for each racing result we could record, that's why I added "Elo recordings" near the names of the hosts who's going to record the results, in the first post. Oh btw, MrSmadSmartAlex confirmed the pulse session for saturday, feb. 20, 18h00 GMT. Hope you guys could join him for another amazing handled tournament!

Kingdom of Heaven, here we come! -despite my lack of practice lol-

Great move kanar. Appreciation for Studio Liverpool in these harder times much welcomed I am certain.
If only I could play in this, but impossible. Good luck to everyone and to the makers of the game as well.

Glad you could join us PS! Damn drell, sad to read you don't have wifi, would have been cool to race you next week-end.

good stuff DP! And we'll try to shoot some here at the bunker, and maybe we'll do some victory dances too lol; the legend of the drunken avalonians XD!

Does that make me a Saracen then? :D Either way, I'm working on recording the races Mr Kanar, just need to borrow me a camera from somewhere... I'll keep you posted mate :)

[OBH]

I'm going to try my utmost to be online for this, as long as my old deer can handle my company for 2 weekends running :)

[kanar]

lol Ace, no I meant heaven = sky, didn't realize I made a reference to religion there lol. Should have said heavens, and I just made an internet search, heaven doesn't refer to a religion in particular; so we can say it's wipeout's religion lol. But I like the idea of you as a Saracen eh eh. Like Morgan Freeman in Robin Hood lol. About the recording stuff, no worries mate if you can't, this elo recordings stuff is optional anyway. OBH oh yeah, would be awesome if you could make it!

I might be able to borrow an HD camcorder btw, lets's hope I do... ELO rankings are a good idea, big up Torqued Soul fer dat :rock

A new bad joke by Sony :turd : http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Maintenances/Maintenance-multiple-Samedi-20-f%C3%A9vrier-%C3%A0-10h/m-p/10133301#M1767 :turd

I can't find the english version of this thread, but I think translation is useless ! The servers of WipEout HD & Pulse will be down saturday from 9.00 to 21.00 GMT :bomb
Plus, they confuse Pure & Pulse...

I have replied them :turd ... I encourage you to complain too !

[kanar]

Gah, just can say nooooo! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6icbHgz6fI&feature=fvsr) in music... Be sure friday will be a long, long day then. We'll probably skip the regular bed time, and wait for the maintenance to sleep a little. Then we'll try to arrange a huge Pure/pulse meeting through ad hoc party, if it's possible and if some people are interested. Then we'll come back to hd online right after their dumb maintenance, for the second part of the competition! (and again, delayed bedtime ah ah).

I was wondering too, maybe we could try to go online through our foreign second accounts, and escape this regional maintenance; I dunno if it's possible, but we'll check that.

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

Great idea with Adhoc Party for Pulse, but you'd have to get somebody else to host as I don't have a PS3. ;)
How is Pulse on Adhoc Party btw? Any smoother/less buggy than the infrastructure mode?

[kanar]

MrSmadSmartAlex, do you think you can host friday or sunday, cos' ad hoc party isn't as good as the psn servers, and as you, not everyone has a ps3. We'll try an ad hoc party pure session saturday, and I'm saying "we'll try" cos' we're going to host like hell all friday night 'til their ****in maintenance scheduled for sat, 10h00 gmt+1. Gah just back from the Nordic Sessions, OMG that was sooo awesome lol.

[kaori]

It's you who were the Special Guest Star ^^

[kanar]

I finished 2nd behind O_BR mate!! that was AWESOME, despite the fkin psn disco, big thanks to Golgo, DrMannevond, JJPAP, Fabimus, Mik-dk, Zoth and of course O_BR! that was a fantastic night, a fantastic warm up before next week-end and our longest wipeout day ever, from friday afternoon 'til saturday 10h eh eh!

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

OK, I can move it to Sunday 19:00 GMT. ;)

[kanar]

yes, great stuff mate, and as far as I know, it's your regular weekly session lol. So we'll try some pure saturday, if we're not exhausted, through ad hoc (probably the jap one). We'll confirm that soon. gah should go to bed now!

What a bunch of fools at Sony France for doing a server maintenance on a Saturday.:dizzy:frown::-:turd:brickwall ,and out for 12 hours as well.
Off with their heads!
They always schedule it on a Wednesday /Thursday everywhere else.

[ACE-FLO]

glug glug, pilot r&r i guess... NOT! Sony doing it on purpose lol

yep guys this is really a ludicrous situation, weird move of Sony Europe. As I said we'll skip the bedtime lol, and we'll try to escape this maintenance with our foreign second accounts, not sure it works but who knows.

Just checked. The maintenance is announced on the scandinavian PS forums as well. Damn. Must be one hell of a patchupdate, since they need 10 hours to complete it...!

(oh, Kanar, it was a nice surprise to see you at the Team Nordic lair yesterday :) )

[kanar]

The pleasure was mine mic, really enjoyed that night with all of you guys (maybe cos' I surprisingly did well too lol). Big thanks again for inviting me. Nordic Session is an awesome competition, not even mentioning the great times we spent in the chatbox too. We should organize the same kind of stuff with my French mates each sunday, some kind of French connection lol.

Hi Kanar

Will try my hardest to make this avalon event.

I have been playing again recently for the first time in a long time.

I won't embarrass myself at phantom speed yet as it just feels too damn fast but slowly re-learning all the tracks at flash and rapier.

I know I can't make Friday night as I'm in a PES competition but will do my best to make some races on the Saturday and Sunday.

Hope to see you soon, Foxy

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Damn PSN maintenance :-

Still, Avalon will still be great :D

[kanar]

Foxy! so good to know you're back to wipeout! Noticed TearsToShreds was back too, really glad to see old wz friends back in the zone; as I said competition will begin thursday in the night (23h00 gmt to friday morning 04/05h00), then I'll sleep a lil' lol, and I'll put my wife in a train friday morning ah ah, then I'll pick up kao 2 hours later at the railway station (what an exchange lol)... Wotan will arrive by car around 12h00; and we'll be up for some crazy hosting from 13h00 to saturday 9h00! Good Luck in your PES competition mate, hope to see you saturday night, just after the psn maintenance, 21h00, 'til sunday afternoon. Oh yeah DP89, this avalon will be good I'm sure, despite this dumb but necessary maintenance. These psn disconnections are a nightmare for everyone.

Well, I just played you a little while ago at phantom speed and only finished ahead of you once, so I'd say you're doing just fine. Good racing. :)

[silverfoxy]

Thanks L&P

Today, something just clicked and I could feel a decent improvement. Still bashing against the walls a lot and still not really getting Fury tracks but slowly and surely getting better.

[xtriko]

Do you guys mind if a rusty drunk pilot joins the party? I'm really rusty here :S but how can I miss the "last real" Avalon party...? please... Let the drunky mate join... I promess I won't puke on the track XD

[kanar]

LOL xtriko! I'm sure we'll be a little bit tipsy too here at the bunker, so we don't mind! to the contrary, we'll make a dance in your honor if you're joining us lol! Looking forward to race you mate, we missed you a lot!

Another thing that only Asa knows about... since I'm not coming to the convention, I'm going to try to make a surprise for the pilots that are going ;)

Set up multiple calendars to warn me when this event begins, so I think I'll be totally in :lol

Brapp...Brapp... "Seven-Fiver" :rock, "this is Ace, reporting for duty. Noticed the servers are cold, engineers are in tomorrow for the work - but for the mean time, we can try warming those suckers up...Lock and Load..."

We got a small crew of pilots online right now. Aint mentioning any names.
Get online and I'll be online hosting some Phantom Weps On and off races with PA disabled... aint no telling whose afterburners are gonna be smelling like they earned their pilots some stripes... Let's roll this one out!

Kanar!!! Your favourite Saracen is flying these skies, send out our pilot decepticons to mobilize and help us attain the road to freedom! :rock

Ok, gotta roll! See you online... this event is kicking off right now! :g

Holla back Mr ACE! I'm almost ready too :beer! Tons of club sandwiches in the fridge, in honor of my Polish friends some zubrowska ready too, Red Bull for the sleepless nights... Still need to grab a mattress to rest during the maintenance lol; Hope my cam will be in good mood to record some races & take some pics!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Is it the Wipeout servers that are undergoing maintenance or the entire PSN servers?

[kanar]

There's a list of unavailable games during this maintenance on the playstation boards, pulse & hd are -sadly- on it. I think it's Sony servers, but psn will be available for games like burnout (wotan will be probably happy to show us his talents on this game too ah ah), as it's EA servers and not Sony's ones. Same stuff for mw2, or MAG I think (although this one is hosted by Sony afaik), they're not concerned by this maintenance.

[xtriko]

I Inform you Drunky people that I already have:
1 - Famous Grouse? CHECK!!!
1 - Vodka Black? CHECK!!!
6Lt Beer? CHECK!!!
1 - Bacardi? CHECK!!!

I should be home ion a few hours peeps, and another lil session will happen. (Just at work atm)

Big up to Coatlketzal, Onbac, and some guy called KuyoQkutu or something - i can't remember... got his name on my Players met list, so I'll check when I get back but yeah we had about 2 hours of fun at like 4am + racing some crazy lines... some others started out but didn't hang around..

[xtriko]

you are all welcome :) but the most important is missing X'O I can't even connect to the psn... I belive that there will be no Avalon for me...

[KGB]

Great races everyone, see you tomorrow. :beer

[kanar]

Oh yeah KGB, that was a delicious warm up! I went online around 22h gmt, and I ended my first go fast on talon reverse, around 3h30 lol. Good times with you all guys, great moments on the chatbox too, "new hobby?" ah ah still laughing about that Greenix. OMG. Another funny moment is when I told you guys I had to go to bed; my wife just woke up -early, as usual- & realized I didn't go to sleep gah... crazy stuff. I just slept 3h so far LOL, just put her in the train for Paris. Kaori will arrive in 3h, I should sleep a lil' before lol. Took a pic of every races I hosted guys, but this time I'll make a global thank list sunday. Just checked for the no guns records and... Well someone took one... lol. You can imagine how much this guy is happy right now. Oh btw, we all wondered who was Wipe_Assassin; really good pilot, if it's not another of these random 2nd account, would be great to contact & invite him here. Ok, I've stuffs to do before Kaori's arrival, hope to see you all around guys in the afternoon, second bunker session featuring the basterds this time, scheduled for 13h gmt. Stay tuned for more infos soon!

[KGB]

Nice one Kanar. Long may it stand. :D

[silverfoxy]

Many thanks for the races last night. Really really enjoyed them. Nice to race with some old faces and also to meet some of the new guys. To be in the same room as the outgoing Avalon chairman and the new avalon chairman was very nice. (also nice to occasionally beat both of you !!)

Can't make tonight but will definitely try to get on over the weekend.

Thanks again, its great to be back !!

[OBH]

Crrraaaaaapppp, was going to stay at my folks this weekend so i could get involved in this, except my sister and her fella have swooped in and stole the spare room instead! so im not allowed over :(

[Hellfire_WZ]

Tonight may well be the last time I can race for the next two weeks so I'll definitely try and come along :)

[ACE-FLO]

Yo Kanar, that new hobby of mine - sucking cola outta pillow cases, is erm, squirm... enjoyable. :D

[LOUDandPROUD]

Oh btw, we all wondered who was Wipe_Assassin; really good pilot, if it's not another of these random 2nd account, would be great to contact & invite him here.

Yah, I've run into him a few times...very fast pilot. See you on the tracks tonight! :hyper

[ACE-FLO]

Wipe_Assassin, I've come across this guy a few times also. this guy is fast, yes... and that PSN-ID says it all really... yeah, I hope this guy is genuine and not another dummy account. I don't know why peeps do that? :? Not that I'm accusing the super fast Mr Wipe_Assassin of being a duplicate of another account... please understand :)

[ProblemSolver]

Well, I checked his trophies, he seems to be on a new account. But who cares?
Important is the performance on the track. At least I don't care whether one is
on a new account or not. The decision is always made on the track, that is
to say, performance is independent from any given name.

[ACE-FLO]

Oh, no no, ProblemSolver, too right - performance on track is what counts. Think I didn't clarify my issue too well. Let me try again. I just don't understand why people would make alternative accounts is all, it gets a lil confusing/annoying when you think you're playing someone new, and discover its someone not so new lol - and I cant work out why someone would want to create a dummy account...

... oh, yes I can, maybe they maxed out their firiends list so created another account to allow for more friends? possible eh?

Either way, I'm pleased you checked his trophies, and that Wipe_Assassin seems genuine :) I couldn't check coz I'm at work atm... lol, tonight is a late one peeeps - I'll be onkine from approx. midnight onwards... Last nights sessiopn with Kanar was just too damn funny in the chatbox and too damn hectic on the race track... Wicked fun to be had man! :rock

[ProblemSolver]

My statement wasn't direct to you specifically. Some people do create a new account for
whatever reasons, to annoy people, to have fun, ..., whatever. Guess he is new, for how
long will he carry this status in WipEout HD, for about a month? That's it.

[ACE-FLO]

Thanks PS :) Yeah, a month into this game and I realise you no longer can claim to be noob... as I found out lol... though I really felt like one last night in Kanars awesome avalon session btw LOLOLOLOL - the chat room was too funny, but that's another story ;)

[SaturnReturn]

I mentioned this before somewhere but I don't think he is too new. I have seen him lots of time before and his oldest records on Connavar's site go back to July '09. Still doesn't mean it's not a second account though. I hope someone finds out soon enough.

[xtriko]

oh crap... my drunk style is failing on me XD must make some videos!
lololol

[kanar]

legend of the drunken wipers mate! awesome moments atm, crazy races, having a blaaaast with kao & wowo at home, wipers' paradise...almost non stop til' the maintenance lol!

Were you Kaori Kanar or was kaori Kaori :?:. Had some races again, mostly rubbish by me. Banged about rotten as usual. So frustrating yet brilliant at the same time. I'll try really hard to get back on tonight as I'm away for the rest of the weekend.

Hey, it's kaori, it depends sometimes it was me, sometimes it was kanar or wotan ! kanar ID is shared between kanar and wotan around 50-50, and kaori ID is shared between all of us, because control setting, around 66% for me, and 17% for kanar & wotan !

Too bad that it was spoiled for me by the servers going down for the 7th time in 3 hours [+ 2 console freezes], so I had to pull out before I smashed something in anger.
No thanks to SONY for stuffing the meet up, first with a 14 hour outage for so called "maintenance" ,which ended up making things a whole lot worse.

BIG, HUGE thanks to everyone who joined us during this week-end, I'll try to post that endless thank list I was talking about later.

WipEout ForEver!

[ACE-FLO]

Damn... I got on real late again - like 3am or something, but soldiered on til 7:30 - was so tired in the last hour but discovered something amazing. When I'm tired - I race better I think, or maybe its just the fact that I dont care if I come last - so am able to relax a b it... hmmm... or maybe its all the schmoke i schmoked. Dunno - all I acan say is, I want more avalon. GOing online to open a rooom - so if you wanna fly high. FLY HIGH! :rock

btw, big up to LightLord - mate, was nice of you to accept my invitation :)... more big ups to follow, my brain is mush and soup atm lol

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

Glad you guys finally managed to enjoy avalon on HD. :)

Okay, Pulse starts in 10-20 minutes (depending on how many enter). I'll open the room in a couple of minutes. Please get in before the room fills with noob-quitters! :D

[Kyonshi]

I am not the one who raced much long, but i want to say congrats to Kanar and all the rest who organize such great event. This is this kinda thing that keeps WipEout alive and send a hint to Sony that WipEout is still vigorously alive and will live forever. The boat stay afloat in big part because of you guys.

For the few occasions i've been racing in an Avalon race, i must say i loved it and there's not a lot of other events that give us an opportunity to improve while racing with the best of the best! ;)

Long live WipEout and Avalon League! :D

[kanar]

Big, Big, Big thanks to all for your support guys & gals. I took some time during my bunker maintenance to quote here all the names I could record during this week-end. So here they are, apologies in advance for the names missing... That week-end was particularly "hardcore" ah ah, wanted to play some extra-times but I'm kinda exhausted right now. + as I said, the huge bunker maintenance to do for the wife, if I work like the Sony boys I'm a dead man lol. I really would like to thank all the people who shooted some vids or hosted during this week-end, once again you guys spread the wipeout love all over the globe, giving me a large smile on my face. You can imagine what a mess it was here with 2 basterds at home, what a mess in the organization once again, not enough alcohol lol sorry my friends... but OMG that was a real blast to share this week-end with kao, wowo, and of course all of you my dear Wipeout friends. One more apology lol, for all the people who messaged us or talked to us in the chatbox(es). I'm sorry for our lack of multi-tasking process lol, we couldn't handle all these stuffs. Ok so here's the crazy thank list of this we, of course I'm going to edit it little by little, and I'll edit my first post too with the mvps (yes, 2 mvps lol) and the classic MAGEC academy. One of the toughest MAGEC academy we ever saw btw, OMG the level of this avalon was crazy high. See you soon guys!

lol@chatbox MVP's. You guys are the real heroes :rock

[LOUDandPROUD]

Thanks to Kanar and all of the other hosts, as always...I had a blast! This was especially good for me this time around, as it forced me to race a lot on the Fury tracks, which I really sucked at. After this Avalon though, I'm finally starting to feel more comfortable on them...still have a long way to go though. Anyway, thanks again! :rock

[kanar]

gah sorry guys for my sunday withdrawal, had to clean the place before my wife's arrival scheduled for today in the afternoon. Big thanks to all the pilots who continued to host yesterday, was glad to see optimus prime lowering lots of records! I'm happy to read the pulse session was a blast too, cool to know INFAXSU is around again! gah still need to mop the bunker + fill the fridge argh. Hope to see you all soon guys.

[ProblemSolver]

Thx to all the guys and gals for making Avalon a blast. And a special thx goes
out to Kanar for organizing all the sh!t. :):+ If we consider the WOZ community
as an airfoil, then Avalon forms its leading-edge!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I've got a bunch of pics for the ELO recordings. Should I post them here or send them to TorquedSoul?

[kanar]

well we totally fked up on that part at my home, i did that nicely on thursday night when i was alone, but when my friend arrived we stopped taking pics due to the timing this stuff required... I finally took pics just to thank all the pilots who joined us during this we. eric took a lot of pics as far as i know, best thing is to send them directly to torquedsoul, i'll send him mines too, even if the most part of the friday and saturday races hosted at my place are missing. gah we definitely missed a 4th guy for the logistic part.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I can't find an attachment option in Private Messages (can you attach files in private messaging?)

EDIT: My file sizes are way too big, and I can't compress them any more. Any suggestions? Either that or I'll have to upload them one at a time :bomb

[kanar]

i'll give you my msn address, you could send them to me like that mate
