[Dark_Phantom_89]

If anybody is interested in hosting, please let me know. I'm in desperate need of some hosts for Friday, as I'll be working that day and won't be able to host until the evening. Saturday and Sunday should be all good though :)

[ACE-FLO]

i'll be around :D Graveyard shift SarACEn hosting schedule tbc. watch this spACE. ;)

another avalon :+

[UB3R~JKP]

Count me in Phantom. :D This sounds great!

[ACE-FLO]

Yo, JKP! :) Ah, yer post rreminded me of my innocent entry into avalon on pulse (February 2009 I tried to set up a FLASH race :paperbag) Avalon events are Phantom only, so you'll feel right at home mate :rock

[UB3R~JKP]

You gave me the courage Ace! ;)
Training sessions pre-tourney?

[ACE-FLO]

You got the skills JKP ;) I could do with some training :blarg last night i was rocking the FLASH speeds and lost all my Phantom muscle memory :paperbag

[KIGO1987]

Nice!

First thing that came to mind when i saw this thread.

Im going to keep these dates in mind :)

[yeldar2097]

I can assure you that yeldar2097, ACE-FLO, AnErare, Stinkleroy, osama-bin-haydn and Andybob35 will be there.

Mini convention at mine AND Avalon?! Thank **** I don't pay the electricity bill :eek

Dedicated endurance host right here :banzai

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I'll try to be there like last time,though last time I entered unknowingly. This Avalon meet would not be unexpected as the first one I had.
DP89,thanks for doing this!

[KGB]

I'm going to miss most of this again. Last time I was at a wedding and I'm off camping in deepest Cumbria that weekend. I'll try and make Friday though.

[Amorbis]

My exams are over and it's the summer holidays so I should be able to get some racing in. I'll probably be online at the later hours, hopefully you'll all still be there in the chatbox by then. :)

[OBH]

Man im excited, my first avalon in a long, long time :)

[xtriko]

Well... now I can only play at weekends... but I think that you guys don't mind if the Drunken Rusty Guy shows up to make some new videos :)

[OBH]

You wont be the only one flying under the influence no doubt :beer

[Challenger #001]

Mind if I enter? It'll be my first tourney online, but I have been practising...

[amplificated]

I think the whole point of these events is that anyone can enter :P

more the merrier right?

[OBH]

Everyone can play, and everyone gets a thank you too. It is an amazing long thank you list, i always enjoy reading it :beer

[xtriko]

I think that I'm going to make a few runs right now... I confess that I'm kind of afraid. I know that I'm REALLY rusty lolololol. But! I already have my WipEout Practice Kit Ready!

J&B? Check!
Coca-Cola? Check!
Superbock (Beer)? Check!
Chips and Snacks? Check!

Let's Fly :)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Yep, just turn up whenever you feel like it. I'll be online at the times shown in the first post, but the host crew will more than likely be online when I'm not. In short, there will always be a game to join - at the last event, there were games going practically 24/7.

I'm thinking of doing a kind of Avalon "league table" so to speak. I'd take pictures of the results and put them into a table and work out who the MVP is that way. Only trouble is, there may be people who race more than others (i.e. me) So perhaps I could make the results based on a set number of races for each person?

Thoughts?

[xtriko]

IMO, Avalon is a relaxing Event. Lot's of pilots under the influence of "stuff" lol It was always like this and it will always be XD

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I certainly won't be under any influence,but I may feel drowsy as your play times are near the end of the day at my place(ie 11pm-12am)

[KIGO1987]

I think that I'm going to make a few runs right now... I confess that I'm kind of afraid. I know that I'm REALLY rusty lolololol. But! I already have my WipEout Practice Kit Ready!

J&B? Check!

What about the Nando's party cater also? :g

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I was messaging UB3R~JKP online and he had a great idea of making some Avalon awards other than the MVP. Seems like a good idea, so I'll list the ones he came up with soon.

[Challenger #001]

I suppose it depends whether or not you want to reward people for consistency, outright speed or dedication. Look at the examples below, and pick who you think is the more deserving winner.

e.g.

Feisar plays ten races, and gets 10 silvers
AG-Systems plays three races and gets 3 golds
Harimau plays twenty races and gets 20 bronzes
Icaras plays ten races, and gets 3 golds, 7 DNFs

Personally I would call Feisar the winner for being dedicated and consistent, so maybe use a cummulative score?

[ACE-FLO]

^ Disagrees with above post. A ship is nothing, without the pilot - and the pilot is nothing without the skill and experience ;)

[SaturnReturn]

I think the ship names are just there as an example, instead of using pilot names, like the game does for single player/offline stuff.

Anyway, as long as I can opt out of the league then that's fine. I'm kinda retired from international so not really up for a league, just fun.:)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Think I'm going to scrap the league idea. Thinking about it, it's actually a lot harder to pull off than I initially thought. I'll stick with the awards idea though, just for a laugh.

[KIGO1987]

Prob be best to keep with the original method of previous Avalon events. Easier for all the hosts to keep track of. When hosting for hours straight with heaps of different people joining and leaving in the room.

New content in Avalon is good, like that endurance thingy that happened in one of the Avalons from a few seasons past. Hmm maybe a few eliminator events could do good, given if everyone had a good internet connection, which most dont.

[Challenger #001]

Just out of interest - having watched SaturnReturn and Hellfire's videos on youtube of the previous events, it looks like it is HD ships only. Is that the case here or are we allowed Fury? Or is it Fury only?

[KIGO1987]

Fury and HD ship can be used during Avalon. They where prob older vids before the Fury pack came out, thats why only the old HD ships with the blue ion trails can be seen.

[xtriko]

I think that the league stuff is not needed. Why should we start another league when there are already a few? Avalon should be "just" a Big WipEout Event :) People having fun racing, attempting to beat some records and going drunk lol

[UB3R~JKP]

The Awards will draw a few chuckles ;).

[KIGO1987]

Thats got me thinking.

What about when hosting the Avalon room/s, get someone to host a voice chat room as well. So after people have played Avalon for non stop, can stop and have a pit stop and chill out session in the voice chat room, have a yarn for about half an hour before going back into the room/s of Avalon. Good hey:+

[UB3R~JKP]

That sounds bloody amazing KIGO, +1 bro!

[ACE-FLO]

Echoed ^

There'll have to be a dedicated video-chat host, so anyone who has suffered brain melt from too much avalon, can PSN message the chat-host and get an ivite - which will lead to some good old mindless banter (it's all we're good for after brain meltingz :g)

[yeldar2097]

Hey if we did that at my house then you could point the webcam at the screens and broadcast a bit of Avalon over PSN :P

Would be cool even though we all know that pit-stops went out of fashion after Fusion ;)

:g

[OBH]

Arent you clever with your play on words :beer

I like the idea of a chat session!! Bar ACE i have no idea what anyone sounds like, should be fun!! :beer

[yeldar2097]

Well apparently Andybob and I sound the same according to anyone who isn't from the UK :lol

Right so (if you guys can bring some spare PS3s (and ACE bring your mic) ^_^ ) we'll have a dedicated video host at my house and we'll broadcast some 3-way Avalon action over PSN. Youtube won't know what's hit it! :P

Yeah that is true. If the host who created the chatroom leaves the entire chatroom closes down, there has to be a dedicated host for a period of time or something before someone changes over :)

Awesome. Brilliant idea :p

:g

Old school. Now i like that :D



I like the idea of a chat session!!

I did suggest this to Asa on messenger before the last European Wipeout Convention. He never got back to me, so it never happened.


Well apparently Andybob and I sound the same according to anyone who isn't from the UK :lol


Haha, true there. Anthony, i and even Mosh says both you folk sound identical. I get confused tbh

[ACE-FLO]

I'll go one better than bring my MIC, Yeldar. :D I'll bring the Eye Toy, complete with my Eye Pet (his name's MoJo :paperbag)

I think I'm gonna spend more time in the voicechat session than actually racing avalon :redface:

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Think I might try and blag my mate's mic for this :cowboy

[UB3R~JKP]

Here's the list so far! (tell me what you think)
-Ranks mean bugger all: Win 3 races in a room where you are the lowest rank
-Flex Those Pecs: Win 5-in-a-row During an Avalon: Aftermath event
-Feisarity at it's best: Be the most successful pilot in a feisar ship (Judged ny amount of wins)
-Bite, Bite, Chomp, Chomp: Be the most successful pilot in a pirahna.a ship (Judged by amount of wins)

That's what I have so far but i'm continuing to work to make this Avalon an enhanced experience ;). Any feedback, also I need your guys help...
You seen that ACE-FLO and YELDAR2097 have homage trophies, i'm looking for 3 more fantastic WipEout players the YOU think deserve an award for taking a win away from them :P, Thoughts?

[OBH]

nice idea!!! will be hard to keep track though.

one thing though, the last one.... im sure most people can beat ACE cant they? :g:beer

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

How about:
Gambler: Dominate The Amphiseum
Darkness:Beat Dark Phantom 89 on The Amphiseum(or the track he's best at)
Casino Cheat:Use The Amphiseum reverse shortcut the most
Cutting corners and costs:Use the Chenghou Reverse shortcut the most
Tech Geek: Dominate Tech De Ra.
Cubic equation:Beat Ace3cube(track unconfirmed)
I say yeah!:Beat Assayyeah(track unconfirmed)
William Farquhar:Beat TarquinFarquhar(track unconfirmed)
I was thinking 'bout making an award on me,but I think most zoners would doubt my racing skills(especially me being 14)

[kanar]

woaw. I see this thread is up & running, and full of great ideas... Big congrats DP89 & all of you guys for keeping that stuff alive (and please no more "dedicated to... :redface: lol). Damn guys I'm still feelling the wipeout virus in my blood, looks like I'm experiencing a locked-in syndrome atm; My life took me really away from this outer heaven, and the fact my ISP fked me up during 3 long months enhanced the total come back to the real life commitments. But despite the fact I haven't played wo that much for a long time now, I couldn't stop lurking this place aka TEH wipeout mecca, & couldn't stop dreaming of this wipeout universe... I mean all of you. I'll do my best to join you guys for this event, still need to sort a lot of stuffs but I'll try my best to show off my ugly rusty skills lol. Rob, I briefly read you could shut that stuff down one of these days, so I just wanted to say once again, & even if I'm not a old member here, that I'll never forget this place & the people I virtually & physically met here. Not a dumb facebook/myspace **** here, this website is a jewel, a treasure island in this ocean of numeric crap. Gah my english is still awful lol, sorry for that,

see you at Aftermath guys.

[ACE-FLO]

the awards are supposed to be fun awards...

Having awards for being successful at winning seems too competitive, and subtacts from the essence which is avalon.

I think the awards need to taken away, unless you have only a handful of fun ones... not ones for winning in everyship you can think of, on every tracks you can think of. For example - there are peeps who pilot only AG-SYS (me :g) or something else...

Also, with all the rooms being hosted - who is gonna keep track of the award system across multiple hosted rooms over an entire weekend? Sounds like pretty daunting work to me

I feel like avalon has turned into a competition, and it never was - its a free for all, non competitive online meet... Also I'm a host for this event, and am concerned at how all this is gonna be looged :?

I'm not saying awards are a bad idea - just that this is avalon, and non competitive awards should be encouraged. Fun ones. Let me lead by example, here are some suggestions :

Mage of Rage - describing the most violent pilot of the entire experience
Rabbit - describing the pilot who attended the most hosted rooms throughout avalon
Dusty Legend - a legendary veteran pilot who attends avalon after an absence on WipEout HD/Fury and kicks it
Avalon Talkathon - describing a pilot who spent most of his/her avalon in the hosted chatrooms
Rusty Legend - a legendary veteran pilot who attends avalon after an absence and have lost their previous racing form

Just my suggestions above, I think the awards have to be decided amongst the hosts - since they have the best idea of who deserves what ;)


nice idea!!! will be hard to keep track though.

one thing though, the last one.... im sure most people can beat ACE cant they? :g:beer

Cheeky Git, - yes they can :D if they try really hard - they can. Just about... barely. They need to take their vitamin tablets first though :D

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Yeh, I think the awards should be fun ones rather than competitive. Like for the person who makes us laugh the most in the chat rooms (I'm looking at you ACE and Xtriko ;))

[OBH]

Definitely prefer the non competitive ones! :)

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I dunno...
Most senior pilot: Age related.
Most junior pilot: again,age related
both awards are for getting to know each other better.
Most courteous: the most courteous person in the chatroom/Avalon lounge

[ACE-FLO]

these are good, FEISAR - me likes:)

Nicely put there.

Now for the 16th. What are the starting times for the host room/s? Ill make myself available for Friday arvo like the previous Avalon. Both controllers charged to full, mobile phone off, and all ready to go again :)

[yeldar2097]

Well I'll be on all day with a few gaps here and there while I run some errands. Should be able to get a good 12-16 hrs hosting in ;)


Hope to see you there Mr Kanar :rock

[KIGO1987]

You sound like you are starting to have the same sleeping pattern is me. Sleep for a couple of hours, then run flat out til you bomb out. I hosted for a tad over 8hours straight last time, was truly dead at the end of that, didnt even have any energy to hang around in the chatroom later on either.

But 16 hours, Gaz, thats pure nuts! Going to take turns passing the controller on to others hosts i guess?

Ive got an idea. Syncopia room should be added to this session. One track, one room, same track being played continuously. Anyone up to host the Syncopia room?

[UB3R~JKP]

These are ACE's contributions ;)
nOOb-nexus : Most impressive new pilot in avalon
dub-vendor : Pilot with the most wanted playlist
Froggy Style : For the Pilot who jumped into the most GREEN races
Heart-Breaker: Most wanted pilot in Avalon!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'm working on Friday so won't be able to host until around 5ish onwards. Saturday and Sunday I'll be around all day, so no problems there :+

[KIGO1987]

The New Zealand, Australian and East Asian players should be able to help you out hosting at the begging there DP, so you dont have to change your work arrangements.


These are ACE's contributions ;)
Froggy Style : For the Pilot who jumped into the most GREEN races


HA! LOOOOOOOL. Dont think the local frenchies here are going to take too lightly to this :P

Ive got a few more

The Wife was playing not me: Beat Pirhapac in an avalon race, this included eliminating his ship as well.
Crème brûlée 'ed: destroy any french ship on the track.
Crème brûlée le epic: destroy any french ship on the track and win the race as well.
Encore Une Fois: Beat any french player while listening to any SASH! song twice.

:p

K, enough terrorizing the French. :g

[ACE-FLO]

lol, not my intention to dig at the French, :) funny post though Kigo...

The Froggy Style award goes to the pilot who JUMPS into the most GREEN races during avalon... I hope that clears things up a lil :g That could be anyone 8)

[leungbok]

HA! LOOOOOOOL. Dont think the local frenchies here are going to take too lightly to this :P

Ive got a few more

[KIGO1987]

Jumps alone, or jumps with Barrel rolls as well? :g

[yeldar2097]

Hmm...my take of Froggy Style would be taking someone's ship up the chuff whilst trying to jump them with a turbo on the Anulpha overpass and failing.

Speaking from experience here :nod

[ACE-FLO]

LOL :+ I can go with that :D

[KIGO1987]

Good thing there isnt a bus lane on the skybridge on Analpha pass, that'll put things into greater perspective.


:cold

Old Pulse mate Leung,

ironic enough Perth has had its coldest winter on record so far :blarg

So yes i am quite cold atm.

[DreamyElf]

i'm certainly not as good as most of you guys here but if you are doing this for fun and need some players i'll join some races...:)
@ACE
if you see me online and the races aren't full, feel free to send me an invite mate! ;)

France Forlorn:
Cause a french player to quit avalon, and in turn get eliminated in the 1st round of the competition to South Africa.

This award seem strangely familiar :beer

[ACE-FLO]

@DreamyElf, :+ mosdef ;)

a few more FAT Ones, (Funtastic Avalon Trophies) :D

Fly High or Die - Pilot who self destructed the most, via too many Barrel Rolls
Bangers n Mash - Pilot who uses red and blue weps like crazy
Postman Pat - Pilot who messages the hosts the most
Bud-vendor - Pilot with the most impressive narcotic stash during Avalon :g
Colour me Bad - Pilot who used the most ship skins during Avalon

:rock

[Kyonshi]

North America will host for Avalon! :D:+

As a regular of WOHD and leader of North American WipEout Team, i gladly offer some of my time to honor the legendary Avalon League!:)

I'll be hosting regular races. Are the Enduro and Weapon-less races mandatory like before?

I'll hosting a bit if i can, on Friday night, from 7pm (-5 GMT). During week-end though, i should be able to host from 10am East Coast (-5 GMT) to 3pm.

[ACE-FLO]

Wahay! :hyper, Nice one Kyonshi !!!

How much of the globe can us hosts cover... I wonder??? :g

[KIGO1987]

Is there anyone else here in Perth thinking about attending this coming Avalon???

:brickwall

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I think I will be the only one from Singapore who'd be going for this event.

Award: Patriot
Win races for areas where there are not many players

[KIGO1987]

Your in the same timezone as me, but not the same city.... bugger. We could of meet or something for Avalon. I know how you feel only pure Wipeout fan in your city. No one else to meet with that has the same passion of the game as well as a PS3 too :(

[Dark_Phantom_89]

That's great news Kyonshi, it's much appreciated :+

EDIT: Any chance that anybody could host a Pure Session? Kaori may not be able to.

[KIGO1987]

Any pulse sessions going on out of curiosity?

[Dark_Phantom_89]

MrSmadSmartAlex said he'll host a few KIGO :)

[Medusa]

I'll join in for some Pulse, if there's some good players wanting to race and the room's full, I'll get out to open a slot so there's some more actual racing ahaha.

[KIGO1987]

MrSmadSmartAlex said he'll host a few KIGO :)

Ive got Ben on messenger, but Ben has had me blocked since October last year when Cranky Croac leaked some stupid email, ask Ace.

Ill make a return on Pulse. Im listening to some music on the PSP right now. I think GT PSP or Pulse is in the UMD drive, going to have a few rounds in my old favorite Goteki45 ship.

How many people would be racing on Pulse this coming Avalon?

[Kyonshi]

Finally guys i won't be there Friday night, i forgot about my Shadowrun game :brickwall

But during the week-end i still should be there :)

[Challenger #001]

If the absolute thrashing that Phantom handed out to me earlier is any indication, I need a LOT more practice on this before Avalon begins. Begone to the shelf, Burnout!

Mind you, I was pretty pleased with keeping you behind me for three laps at Chenghou. :D

[OBH]

How many people would be racing on Pulse this coming Avalon?

Ill be taking my psp to yeldars, though dont expect any kind of competition :beer

[LurifaxFlux]

See ya'll in the weekend!! :)

[ACE-FLO]

Ill be taking my psp to yeldars, though dont expect any kind of competition :beer

He said that last year too, on an avalon, and kicked ass on Pulse - OBH you're sly devil :evil :D And that Triakis skin :rock

[yeldar2097]

Avalon in just under 4hrs. Who's excited and who's with me? :hyper

[KIGO1987]

4hours? Bullshit.

I thought it starts afternoon my time, and at dusk GMT? im not sure :S

[yeldar2097]

00:00 Friday 16th BST

Eager beaver :nod

[UB3R~JKP]

I'm with you Yeldar! :D

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

KIGO1987,want to race at around 10:30pm GMT+8?

[LOUDandPROUD]

Wow, I just stumbled upon this thread...perfect timing! I will indeed have some free time this weekend, so I look forward to seeing you all on the tracks! Just try not to make fun of how terrible I am now...I haven't played in a while! :P

[OBH]

8:31am here, Im ready, camo'd up, and ready infiltrate Yeldars evil woHQ of doom :)

just a bit of c4 and the rest of the wo world might stand a chance :beer


He said that last year too, on an avalon, and kicked ass on Pulse - OBH you're sly devil :evil :D And that Triakis skin :rock
Thats just a flat out lie! i sucked! :g

[KIGO1987]

Right ive manage to acquire a PS3 for the night.

Gaz, Haydn, Andy, keep an eye out for another KIGO coming about. Just sent messages over the PSN then. Looking forward for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong overdue chat session. Keep in touch :D

Thanks Kieran btw for the message :)

[Woopzilla]

I'm about right now, sitting in the avalon lounge channel.

Just doing a ton of randomized 12 race tournaments vs the AI to get myself used to WOHD again. The world cup break has robbed me of some skills. :g

[LurifaxFlux]

Time to load up on some coke and snacks :g
Let's do this!!!

[KGB]

Whose online now, this is my only opportunity to play this weekend :(

[KIGO1987]

KGB. Woopzilla and I are in the Avalon Lounge feel free to join:)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I managed to get home earlier, so I'll be online in a sec.

[mic-dk]

I hope ya'll are too tired to race properly when I get online tomorrow afternoon :D

Have a fun first night!

[ACE-FLO]

Joining avalon lounge :g

[KGB]

Sorry for leaving abruptly before, the wife came back from work earlier than expected, suffice to say I wasn't doing what I should of been doing :D. I'll try and get on later if I can.

EDIT: Next time I'll turn the message notification back on, I thought it was very quiet in the chat room ;).

[yeldar2097]

Hosting an avalon room with OBH atm :)

[KIGO1987]

Andy at your joint now with you Gareth??

[yeldar2097]

No he's coming tomorrow :)

[DreamyElf]

i joined some races earlier, that was fun! :)

unfortunately the heat is unbearable here (37 deg C...) and i couldn't stay for long. :(

i'll try later if there are free places although i don't want to block the place for a better pilot...

[OBH]

Gareths a funny bloke, though wipeout is not going well at all. Im having a break and a smoke from avalon for a bit, starting 8th more than 15 times in a row is enough to drive a man mental..... :cold

And how hes "used" to his piss poor connection i seriously dont know :) im going to be pulling out what little hair i have!

[kanar]

I'll join you guys tonight for sure, just need to prepare my tracklist before. Rusty wiper incoming!

[LurifaxFlux]

^ Awesome :)

[KIGO1987]

Avalon Voice Chat Room Active

-ACE-FLO

-KIGO1987
-TarquinFarqhuar

are all in the voice chat room atm. Other people are welcome to join and have a yarn as well. Administrator Robert Foxx might be joining in the room later along with Yeldar2097.8)

[kanar]

...must admit I'm hyped. Will do my best to enter the matrix as soon as I can, and as much as I can this we. 8)

[KGB]

Cheers for the races, that's it for me as I'll be out the rest of the weekend. I may of upset Yeldar as he kept eliminating me after I called him posh :).I really meant southern, it's the same thing to me :g.

[Challenger #001]

Same as above - thanks for all the races guys. Sorry if I came across at rude at times - I've had a splitting headache since midday but I didn't want to turn down an opportunity to play with you guys. I guess I need to work a lot more on my technique as well...

In other news, could one of those in the voice chat room invite me for tomorrow night? Got a mike, but haven't received an invite to enter yet.

[yeldar2097]

KGB you cheeky so-and-so ^_^

[KIGO1987]

Great start for the first day of Avalon. Good rooms going on. Slim went brilliantly online and everything. Didnt have a chance to race Gareth and Haydn though:( was grateful for my cousin for him allowing me to nick his PS3 for the night :)

[kaori]

Thanks for the races !

[KGB]

Take some photos of whoever is at your house if possible yeldar, it will be nice to see......naked if possible ;)

EDIT: Can't believe I actually posted that, I was meant to preview it first, too late now it's out there.

[brainbeat]

thanks for the great fun, lol kgb

[LurifaxFlux]

Lmao KGB

I am now also known as the other guy with the same name as Luxoflux, or what was it KIGO? :g

[ACE-FLO]

lol Larifaflux ^ btw was your headset working in the chat room?

@Challebger#001, I'll send you an invite when Is et up the next one :)

Ok, I said i'll host the graveyard shift, so here it is... online in 10 mins or so. I'm totally toast atm, done so much fake smiling at this pre-wedding dinner party that I'll have to sleep standing up for week just, just so my facial muscles can go back normal :bomb (Batman, if you're reading this, I'm not your arch nemesis :D)

Avalon Graveyard shift : sarACEn stylee... :g let's roll til I drop :D

[yeldar2097]

ACE you do know Avalon involves weps off races too you know :P

KGB I never knew you felt that way... :lol
Had me in stitches that one did. You're on form these last few days :g

[LurifaxFlux]

ACE: No I don't have one for PS3 (I just wanted to hear/see you guys :D), I tried later hooking up my webcam, and it's mic was compatible (but not the actual cam), but for some reason the mic freaked out and made some extreme noise once in a while...

Woopzilla: Where will I find the videos? (link to youtube account?)

Anyway I really need to get some sleep now, my thumb is so sore too.
Never played this much WipEout in one day xD
See you guys tomorrow! :)

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Any rooms at the moment? I wanted my Avalon fix but I had to let my selfish younger brother play the PS3 at my expense last night

[DreamyElf]

thx for races everyone^^
i hope to see you again today! :)
FEISAR i'm pretty sure everyone is sleeping right now after the long first day!:D
i'm going online in a sec, if there aren't any avalon rooms, i'll host for this morning ;)

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Currently (attempting) hosting an Avalon room.

[Woopzilla]

@LurifaxFlux I will be uploading them today. Once I have all Day 1 Races uploaded I will post links to them in the videos thread. :D

I've went through them and got rid of all boring races (the ones where I'm eating tons of rockets and mines and just racing on my own +6s behind) but there are still a lot of videos that I will upload. ;)

[Danterich]

Currently (attempting) hosting an Avalon room.

we just had a few nice races, cheers for hosting feisar :beer

[OBH]

What a nutter, the man doesnt eat, doesnt like beer, and barely sleeps.

Hes just a living breathing wipeout machine :) swear he sees the world in green numbers like the matrix :beer

[UB3R~JKP]

That was fun! Don't get me wrong I was the unviersal Avalon punching bag :lol but that's my own fault for neglecting WipEout for Blazblue these past 2 weeks, will be playing again tonight hopefully more competitivley, well played guys!

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

Hes just a living breathing wipeout machine :) swear he sees the world in green numbers like the matrix :beer

Who?
Nice races I had when I hosted the room...dunno who has taken over or what has happened to it

[LurifaxFlux]

^ He's talking about yeldar :lol

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'm gonna head out in a sec to pick up some Avalon supplies then I'll be online.

[LOUDandPROUD]

I'd appreciate an invite to any chat rooms (both text and voice) you've got set up! I'll be on at some point today and tomorrow. Got a little Avalon time in last night with Yeldar and OBH, but generally had trouble finding a room. C ya later!

[stinkleroy]

Had some great fun last night..especially in Ace's host...damn you will do anything to avoid no weaps races :p :p Was a blast though..more fun to be had tonight, see you all there :)

Oh and thanks to Brainbeat for sticking around till 5am with us ;)

Edit - Jason! Great to see you back :D AnE invited you to the avalon lounge last night so should be in your chat room list, hope to see you later!!

[KIGO1987]

My cousin called me before 5pm today, asking if he could get his PS3 back. Ive just come back from his place then. Showed him how the PS3 sync works and the PSN and everything. So i wont be able to show for any other Avalon sessions this weekend since i have no PS3 to us now.

I was fortunate enough to attend one day, and have a good yarn with Danny and Luke so im happy for that. Just a little bit cut as the people repairing my PS3 said it was ready just before they shut today, which is on the other side of the city, so i wouldnt be able to make it there in time. Bastards could of called me at morning or lunch time at least! would of had a damn PS3 for tonight and the next day. Well i should be back on the PSN coming monday. so i am happy for that.

One avalon day attending is better than not attending at all so i am happy and grateful i manage to attend one of the avalon session days. Thanks for hosting Luxoflux. Good room, there was barely any lag in that room. A rarity at best now days in the game.

Catchya guys on the PSN next week :)

[kanar]

yeah greeeaaat fun to race wth you all once again, & definitely up for more! will try to join the online universe as soon as I can.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Edit - Jason! Great to see you back :D AnE invited you to the avalon lounge last night so should be in your chat room list, hope to see you later!!

Hey Cat! Good to BE back! I'm soooooo rusty though...and I'm still terrible on all the Fury tracks, haha. I'll be on in a few minutes for about an hour, so maybe I will see you! :)

[brainbeat]

Great races today loving being in work see ya all later. Is there a night shift again

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

I want to rant about something and I will:
I have to leave the room because my dad wants to watch his fracking show,leaving me out of the action.Firstly,yesterday I had to let my fracking unreasonable younger brother play his MW2 mid Avalon.NOW,I have to let my dad watch his show,during a WipEout event! Why the FRACK must THIS happen to ME?????

[Ace3cube]

I will upload all races I made with all of you ;)
I encode them ;>

[stinkleroy]

I look forward to seeing all the vids you guys have made!!

Will be uploading vids throughout the weekend here http://www.youtube.com/user/stinkleroy

:)

Ah Jason, I wouldn't worry about the Fury tracks, I'm terrible at those too ;) Will be on in about an hour, hope to see you around if not then...later!! We'll be around till late ;)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Had some great races this afternoon, was really fun stuff. Giving the PS3 a rest now after a near 7 hour run, but will be back later tonight. The party is still in full swing though :+

brainbeat - It's very likely that there will be another night shift tonight. I stayed until around 1 am last night, but Avalon was still going on long after then.

FEISAR - I know how you must feel, but it's always a pleasure racing with you my friend.

[brainbeat]

Yeah I was racing with anarera? Mispelt I think till about 5.30 lol. Then got woke up at 11. In the mood for it tonight. Sticking with hd Icarus now on phantom I'm not flaky with it

[leungbok]

I opened a syncopia room, c'mon avaloners ! :D

[Woopzilla]

Right, I'm done for today... my sleep pattern is a bit wonky so I don't think I can stay up much longer. I'm owned. Looking forward to the last day of Avalon tomorrow!

Just sorted through some of my vids and will be uploading overnight... but I've set them to private for now and will release them all at the end of Avalon. ;)

[kanar]

woa never been to syncopia before, and online please; lol big thx Leungbok! will be back for more later guys;8)

[mic-dk]

Hehe Leungbok, you finally did it. All those races on TdR... ;)
I hope the room lasts all weekend!

[leungbok]

^^ i wait to leave the room to someone aware of the process, lol.
;)

[Challenger #001]

All hail to Leung - online Syncopia was excellent. ;3 Now lets' try for Corridon 12

[Kyonshi]

Hey guys, hope you're having fun, i know i said i would host some races but today i'm not home until later tonite (midnight/1am East -5GMT). I can check out if there's still some people racing at this time, if not i will host during the day Sunday.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Had some great races on Syncopia (finally.) Thanks for getting it working Leungbok :clap

We also have some new Avalon records. I've updated some already, but I'll do the rest tonight.

Also, MrSmadSmartAlex has kindly offered to host a Pulse session tonight at 7.30pm GMT time. Get your PSP's out and start racing!

[DreamyElf]

thx leungbok for syncopia^^
i holded the room for about an hour and then DP took over :)
see you later guys on some avalon races! ;)

[ACE-FLO]

Right first of all - Sorry, :redface: I didn't et back until dayight last night / this morning so couldnt host :( anyway, I'm al berroca and redbull atm, shattered. Just about to go to the giveaway ceremony, then I'm back hosting avalon...

So, around 5pm-ish onwards, I'm hosting :)

There was a syncopia room open? wow, now thats progress loolol :D

[UB3R~JKP]

Oh man, Avalon has been great so far, The events, the banter in the "avalon lounge" Everything has been just awesome. My 1st Avalon and defos not my last!

Will be racing with you tonight Ace!

[leungbok]

thx leungbok for syncopia^^
i holded the room for about an hour and then DP took over :)
see you later guys on some avalon races! ;)
Ha ha, sounds great ! :D With a bit or organisation it can be possible to maintain a syncopia room during all an avalon event. Choosing the hosts regarding their timezone and availabilities ! Only problem on public rooms is to leave the host to a newcomer which will quickly change syncopia for anulpha ! :lol

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

It was really great hosting for a while. Thanks for the races guys! Thanks for your kind words DP89,though I feel that some are quite an overstatement(I'm trying to be humble)
I wasn't having seizures before I left the chat room. My controller and keyboard went screwy and I seemed like having "seizures".

[novide]

Big THX to all pilots (special thx for all hosting pilots) for this great
avalon hardcore wipeout weekend.

Sometimes i felt like a punshingball and a lot of mines and :bomb tasted good ; )

I have done a few videos in bad quality, there you can see how it is, to fly behind the wipeout masters...

http://www.youtube.com/user/novide9#p/c/C2379D1C067266EC

cheers :beer

[ericd7]

Thanks a lot for this week-end, it was great to race with you again :beer
Have fun if you race again toonight, i really need to sleep this one^^.
See you soon!

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

The Pulse room is open. :D

[mic-dk]

Thanks a lot for this week-end, it was great to race with you again :beer


Indeed. Even though I'm pretty far from top form I have had a lot of great races this weekend. I would have hoped to race in the evenings euro-time to see what Yeldars sleepover would do, but maybe next time :D

Thanks to all I raced, and see you soon again :+

[UB3R~JKP]

Well, that's the end of my 1st ever Avalon; And I can't explain how friken' crazy good it was! The banter, the racing and everything that goes with it was top Not ch. :D Cheers DP for organising this event, you have my gratitude man :) It's been intense szit. All the Zoners made it a great experience and it has me itching for more of 'dat sweet avalon sugar :lol



5 thumbs up man, thanks to everyone who took part and the organiser himself, dark_phantom_89 :D. Once again thanks everybody

[LOUDandPROUD]

Thanks to all for a great weekend! Especially the organizers/hosts! Despite how rusty I was after such a long layoff, I really did have a blast. I hope to see you all on the tracks again soon! (if I can pull myself away from playing Dead Space, which I'm absolutely loving right now...probably the most frightening game I've ever played, but in the best way possible)

[AspenExcel]

Wow awesome racing today. Raced with yeldar2097, AnErare, DialgiX, brainbeat, stinkleroy, and Lurifaxflux tonight and I had a great time. Wonderful getting to chat with all of you. :D

[LurifaxFlux]

Last race ended 5:40 GMT

Thanks everyone for the fun, it was awesome!!! :D

[icarasDragon]

My first Avalon was great!

Tell me, was I the first Rank 16 (professional III) Pilot to Win an avalon race? (Anulpha forward to any one who remembers)? :| :g

Thankyou Avalon hosts 8)

[OBH]

huge thanks to everyone for a great weekend.

so good to race against names both new and old (had been so long amorbis, greenix, leungbok & many others! :D)

of course a special thanks goes to yeldar for inviting me into your home, and andybob for having a hilrarious case of short-man-syndrome! :beer both you guys are top blokes, and are more than welcome in my home if you find yourself nearby.

my own performance this weekend was pretty poor, especially saturday!! but glad i saw yeldar in action, 19 perfect laps on a 20 lap Chenghou race FTW... ive never met someone so smug, yet so humble in all my life :beer cheers again mate for being a more than hospitable host! :+

[KIGO1987]

Is Andy a hobbit? Damn didnt know that. Doesnt look like a hobbit at all last time i had a chat with him.

Bullshit i missed out Saturday's session:(. But at least i managed to attend one day and say hi to everyone and have a good yarn will some great mates and have some clean races also:)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Seriously everyone, I can't thank you enough for making this Avalon event a really enjoyable one. I had a great time, all thanks to you :rock

[Woopzilla]

Had some good sessions this event! :D Thanks to FEISAR, Saturn, Yeldar and of course DP for hosting most of the games!

It seems the turnout was higher than last time.. games were nearly always full with zoners only!

Still uploading me vids. ETA: Probably around 10pm. Those endurance races are gonna take a while. :robot

[KGB]

KGB I never knew you felt that way... :lol

You had me at hello. ;)

[OBH]

I swear there's more homosexual undertones between you two with every passing day :beer

[yeldar2097]

Yay I'm red instead of pink now ^_^

Thanks to everyone for a lovely weekend, especially to OBH and andybob who trekked all the way to the arsehole of nowhere just to find me and my Wipeout hovel :g

Wasn't too long before Haydn was making excuses either, I'll count that as a success :P

I really should have filmed some of it, would have been awesome...but then I suppose I wouldn't have been racing and that'd just be plain wrong :D

Big thanks to DP for all your efforts, and to everyone else for yours!

[KIGO1987]

roaches ftw wouldnt you say Gareth?

****ing need to come up during my summer time.....

Talking to Andy now.

[stinkleroy]

Ah what an awesome Avalon this time around ;) Was great to see so many people online and playing Wipeout again and also to meet some new, and frankly violent individuals (I'm looking at you Luri :P). I kid, we had a blast and made some new friends to boot, awesome stuff :D

Think AnE and I hosted for most of the graveyard sessions, usualy going until 4 or 5am (thats why we weren't around during the days). Great stuff and great chat!

Awesome to also see the likes of Greenix, Amorbis, JJohnEames and kanar again. You guys are missed :)

Will be uploading the plethora of videos we recorded during the next few days on youtube. Thanks to everyone we encountered over the weekend, you guys rock :)

p.s. oh and Dialgx...yes you did win on AP in Avalon...Woo hoo, a star is born :D

[AnErare]

Yes love, absolutely right and true! We didn't even sign up for hosting but it turned that way as we progressed through the weekend ;)

Woop woop woop! :cowboy

That was one super weekend again :D So many races with so many fast pilots! Even some aces of old and the legend of Avalon himself! Kanar, so awsome you could attend as well :hyper:rock

It's always such a pleasure to meet a lot of the pilots you're racing with in the chat and talk a bit or just see them banter about :)

Thanks DP for arranging this weekend, Yeld for setting up a nasty triage of himself+obh+andybob, everyone for attending and bringing with a lot of fun, and of course Kanar for giving us this legendary spectacle :guitar:pizza8):sonar:pirate:banzai:robot:mr-t:g

See you around!

p.s. video's are being uploaded as we speak to http://www.youtube.com/stinkleroy and more will start popping up at http://www.youtube.com/AnErare

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

Had a great session last night, after a shaky start; my worn out old UMD (I was on awesome ofw XD) starting causing glitches and freezes, and gave me a disc read error before booting me from the room! Worst format of all time. :D
Thanks archman and Tropic for assisting in hosting when this happened (luckily, my PSP settled down later on). Flashback_Jack, Triple_Lei and phurawsity were also playing, and Medusa dropped in for a few too. There was much high-speed carnage, and the weapons on races were impossible :lol. But it was great fun anyway, and some new records set. Thanks all. :)

93 videos total... enjoy! :D

[Dark_Phantom_89]

O...M...G :hyper :hyper

Woopzilla, that is AMAZING! Seriously mate, I can't thank you enough for making all of those videos. I'm gonna spend the whole night watching them :rock

[AspenExcel]

Epic list Woopzilla. A little off topic here, but I saw you do this in one of your videos. How do you disengage auto-pilot early before it runs out???

[Woopzilla]

Thanks guys! :g :g

@Unc Heh, I don't really think about it... I think it's the absorb button. :D

[yeldar2097]

Yep, absorb button :)

Umm, Woopzilla, great videos and all...but would you kindly let me have some of your bandwidth as you clearly have more than enough?

:P

jk, great stuff :beer

[Woopzilla]

Haha. :g

Just if anyone's interested: 4h22m48s of videos totalling 8.67GB at 95MB per file average. Took me around 30 mins for each vid.

Been uploading for 3 nights and 2.5 days. :P

[yeldar2097]

Try 5 hrs for a 100MB Time Trial -_-

Question: Is that direct feed or do you have obscene camera alignment skills?

[Woopzilla]

Ouch... 5 hours?! :S

Yea, its a direct feed. I play in SD and use an old 'Dazzle Platinum' USB capture device.

It's a right headache though, since it uses some mpeg-2 codec that won't open in movie maker and virtualdub. So I had to download a specially edited version of VirtualDub to open and recompress them a bit more (180mb -> 80mb). Other problems include the video files it outputs being reported as 720x576 whereas they are actually 1024x576, . So, I have to also resize them (although no actual resizing occurs) to somehow fix the issue of it telling video players to play it at some stupid res. :S

[UB3R~JKP]

Man, you rock Woopzilla! Kudos man. My favourite is Vineta K reverse *endurance: Seeing my name jump in and out of the bottom 3 was hilarious xD, I really need a shorter PSN Tag :lol
