[il_mago_di_Doz]

Just a question mate: is this a team or a solo event?

If I'm getting it right it's a 1vs1 league, isn't it?
I'll promote the event to my wiper-friends, but I'm more of a "team-player" I think :)

[kanar]

yeah it's a 1 vs 1 cup mate, we already have the double league and Xpand teams, thought it would be great to organize that kind of cup once again (like a tennis tournament btw). Would you be up for a try?;) Big thanks for spreading the news btw!

[assoartu64]

thanks kanar for the invite!!!:)

i am only good players ....for fight in a team players...
i am more fighter ....no more fast
in 1 vs 1 i have no chanches!!!

i show your avalon-race 1vs 1 to my friends.
there are some faster pilot in the flying Pizzas ...(the team italy group)

see you soon and good wipe

[UB3R~JKP]

Hey mate cheers for the invite! At the moment it's a unfortunate no, I haven't played wipeout in ages but I will get back to you!

[blackwiggle]

Kanar, if you are going to allow the choice of type of race to the two people who are racing, well you might as well let them do any style, type and speed of race they want.
Flash eliminator or Zone battle for example, if two people from different teams agree it isn't going to matter really is it.
And this way it will stop all the shouts of "Elite Phantom racers only" like we had in last years WC, that made a lot of people feel left out because of that.

Just make it a set amount of 1 point for 1 win for each race, with a bonus 2 points if you win all your races against your opponent, it can't get any simpler than that.

[kanar]

Argh sorry I didn't explain well my idea. I meant a cup like Kaori did a while ago, tennis-style cup, with direct elimination. No team involved, as it's a solo event. But thanks for your ideas BW, I've added the possibility, as you suggested, to choose your mode if the 2 pilots agree with something they prefer both. So, you're in BW btw?

[KGB]

Count me in :). I missed Kaori's version last time, it seems like ages ago when he did that.

My feelings on it though is that we should keep Eliminator and Zone Battle out of it as it has nothing to do with "Avalon" but I'm all for Weps on/off at any speed class.

[mic-dk]

I'd love to participate!

[kanar]

YAY! thanks guys! Kgb I agree with you, but I would be glad to satisfy everyone. Would be awesome to have the biggest cup ever, gathering all class/modes pilots. As Mr De Coubertin said :

"The most important thing is not to win but to take part!"

[JJPAP]

Super initiative, Kanar :+
Keep it strict and simple - then it should be quite manageable.
Looking forward! :)

[miizu3]

Thanks for the invite!

Can't play Phantom, but if there's an option to play lower speed classes, count me in! :)

[kanar]

thanks a lot guys for your inputs! miizu3, yes of course there will be a possibility to make your round at a lower class, if your opponent is ok; let's take an example :

Let's imagine you're opposed to me; As I'm a gentleman lol, I'm ok for a custom round instead of the standard one : you're choosing the modes for 3 rounds, and I'll choose 3. The last one will be the same for everyone, defined before the start of the rounds. Standard mode is here if no agreement can be reached.


Super initiative, Kanar :+
Keep it strict and simple - then it should be quite manageable.
Looking forward! :)

Thanks for that my friend. Just updated the rules, should be "the universal acclaim" now lol. Custom mode allows you to choose 3 rounds over the 7, any class, anything you want.

[Hellfire_WZ]

As this is such a big project, I'm coming out of retirement to take part :)

[AspenExcel]

Really wish I could be a part of this, but I'm leaving for school in a week and I won't have my PS3 with me. :(

[triboy]

Merci pour l'invitation mon ami ;) Sure, I will join that, sign me in ;)

[Aeroracer]

something for everyone..

i want to register..:)

[carlos69nash]

Hello oliver :) yes count me in

[xtriko]

I'm going to win (alcoholic coma)!!!

[kanar]

Yay more pilots! thanks a lot guys for joining! eh eh hell yeah that's going to be epic!

And to -definitely- clarify the rules and regulations :

Avalon mode : (Phantom Class, Weapons on, best of 7 races, each pilot picks 3 tracks, the last one will be the same for everyone per round.
=====> Only in case of total agreement between the 2 pilots

Custom mode :
-Each pilot chooses 3 rounds (Class, mode, weapons or no weapons, green)
-the last one will be the same for everyone per round
-best of 7 rounds
=======> All the other cases (default mode)

[concrete_d]

I want to participate, sounds awesome 8)

[Challenger #001]

I will participate, yes. Though I don't feel much hope of winning, I'd love to race Hellfire - the guy who taught me how to fly properly. XD

[LOUDandPROUD]

I appreciate the invite, but with all of my other obligations I just won't have the time for this too. Good luck though! :)

[SaturnReturn]

Just one or two questions and suggestions kanar...

When you refer to Avalon or custom 'mode', and then refer to game 'mode', perhaps use a different word for one of them so that 'mode' doesn't get confusing. (It probably wouldn't happen, but with an international forum/event it's best to be sure).

Also, I'm assuming that, given that it's best of 7 races, that each round is a race, and that the game 'mode' I choose can't be a tournament with 16 races.

So, it's something like that attached image? That makes me think of another question. If it's an Avalon mode event, and the track that is the same for everyone is, say, Sol 2, then can I also choose Sol 2 as one of my own tracks?

Finally, would the avalon mode thing not be best as weapons off as that's part of what makes avalon unique? Not a big issue, was just wondering.

Unfortunately I don't think I can commit to this right now, as I'm never sure when I'll be home from work on any given day, or if I'll need to work at the weekend. I had thought things were settling down, but then today everything went a bit tits up...again. :(

[LurifaxFlux]

Count me in!! :D

Question: Are you allowed to choose same track more than once in a row?

[kanar]

hey Luri, big thanks for joining! Working on the rules atm, thanks to Saturn thoughts, so yes, you could pick a track twice, if the last round isn't already the track you want to pick.

[blackwiggle]

Argh sorry I didn't explain well my idea. I meant a cup like Kaori did a while ago, tennis-style cup, with direct elimination. No team involved, as it's a solo event. But thanks for your ideas BW, I've added the possibility, as you suggested, to choose your mode if the 2 pilots agree with something they prefer both. So, you're in BW btw?

Ok, I understand now.
Maybe you should call the comp Wipeoutledon [wipeout/wimbledon in case it wasn't obvious ;) ] since it's more of a tennis championship than a world cup.

I'll try to be in it if I can, I start a new job today [see how this one works out] so I don't know what my availability will be a in few weeks time.
It's the dreaded +10 GMT timezone difference that is always the overriding factor in my case.

[kanar]

oh yeah BW, glad you'll make a try to participate to this wimbledout lol. Hope the 2 weeks delay per rounds will be enough to arrange the rounds.

Sat, nice pic there, that's exactly what I'm talking about, except I followed your advices regarding the avalon battle; it will be no weapon based as suggested. But Custom battle will remain the DEFAULT mode for everyone, allowing people a fair competition for all-round players. Argh just updated everything now, you guys will let me know if it's ok.

[Mr Phlanj]

i would love to join in (just like how i would love to join all the other games you guys play here) but i still need to get a ps3 :p

[mikrucio]

Thanks for the invite mate But i only win 30% of my races at best.
And alot of those dudes on the list iv raced and some iv beat and some iv lost. But mostly lost... :frown:

*shakes fist at Bloody_Harry_89

[kanar]

hey mikrucio, I'm a super goat myself, but no worries, would have been great if you could participate though; did you check the default battle mode (custom), allowing you to choose half of the rounds? (speed class, zone battle, eliminator...) Best way to have a fair competition for everyone, no matter your skill level. Anyway, hope to see you soon on the tracks.

Mr Phlanj, I would buy you a ps3, and one for OBH if I could:frown:

Jeez rules and regulations are pain in the ass lol. Added the "FAIR RULE" in custom mode, which could be applied in case of disagreement on the 7 rounds progress : for example an eliminator expert couldn't pick more than 3 times this mode, same for zone battle or single race. Woah I think I'm done with that now lol. Feel free to let me know your thoughts!

[kanar]

I'll come (If i can make sense of the rules :paperbag )

LOL I can undertand that, it still looks :blarg but I'll do my best to clarify that quickly. Anyway you guys have the definitive version first post, just need to explain that a little better. (I :turd in english)

ok, just updated the 1st post, and now let's take an example :

1st round, I'm opposed to a zone battle fan. Pre-defined round 7 was decided as an eliminator round (tech de ra, rapier, blah blah) for everyone
We're agreeing for custom battle :
-I'm choosing my 3 rounds, same for my opponent.

case 1 : we have 3 races & 3 zone battles, last pre-definined round is an eliminator one (+ no more than twice the same track version)

case 2 there's more than 3 times the same mode : for eg. my opponent took 3 eliminator races instead of the zones ====> the last pre-defined round was decided as an eliminator one = 4
====> fair rule request if necessary ==> one eliminator round must be removed. Same goes for zone battle or single race, but I highly doubt that scenarion will happen.

Hope it's not even worse than before regarding my explanations lol

[mikrucio]

wait a minute! did i hear zone battle?
Im in. I own zone battle! ( well most of the time)

[kanar]

wait a minute! did i hear zone battle?
Im in. I own zone battle! ( well most of the time)

Lol I was sure a lot of people will be disturbed by my rusty brain. GLAD you joined mate, and please spread the world, and particularly among the non phantom single race nutters eh eh, this cup is opened to ALL MODES/speed class/everything -almost-!
see you soon on the tracks

Aaargh updated the first post once again, insisted on the fact it's an all-round event 8) mmm realizing this custom mode will add a huge tactical aspect... Nice!

well done kanar, great job on organizing this!:+

Yeah mate too bad you can't make it, as for Unc and some other friends around here. Thanks for your support btw, and well this isn't done yet lol, still need to bring a lot more pilots here :P. I did my best to find the fairest challenge, trying to include everyone's best skills, regarding your favourite wipeout hd game mode. MAYHEM :dizzy.

hasnt been enough 1vs1 setups, and ive massively enjoyed what few there has been.

enjoy guys :):+

[KGB]

I'm not really sure how well Eliminator will play out with just two people in it, it's not really designed for such low numbers. You may end up with the longest games in history :|.

Can't wait for lag free racing, empty tracks and no bombs/mines that I get caught out with like a rabbit in headlights :eek

sorry had to quote that entirely cos' these are great remarks;

-True, eliminator could look awkward with just two people, but I would be happy to welcome guys like PEPEDA (happy bday mate btw, if you're reading this) or another eliminator maniac into this competition. For sure the majority will choose single races, maybe some people will take zone battle, but I think it can be fun to have this possibility too. Of course the dead end is someone crazy enough to put the eliminator scoring to the max as you said, so please guys let me know what could be the fairest/regular maximum goal (as for zone maybe).

-LAG FREE!!! yes Kgb, I saw the recent complaints from JABBERJAW, (yeah a LAN option would have been awesome...) of course this issue is driving all us crazy lol. So a cool 1vs1 will probably have less lag issue, but to be sure I hope Mr Haiku could answer to that question if he's around

I could go for this, if everything will be wrapped up by October? Otherwise I may have to pass (I have a rule not to take my PS3 up to university).

[morfeo378]

Count me, a question, schedule and knows when the pairings?

[kanar]

Hey guys, thanks for your interest and your input here! Well everything is running well so far, and we're on our way to reach the 64 pilots subscriptions :rock. Sadly I'm finding 128 entries kinda unrealistic so the following will be fixed up real soon :
Subscription deadline is scheduled to the end of august/early days of september, as soon as we will reach 64 pilots in fact. I'll draw lots RIGHT AFTER I GOT the full list (remember, like tennis, wimbledon)

First round will probably start mid september (maybe earlier), with a maximum of 2 weeks delay to fix your 1st round match with your opponent ( a dead line will be fixed).

So to answer to your question Deathjester87, only round 1 (remember guys, it's exactly like Wimbledon, except we're playing wipeout and we have to arrange an online rendez-vous with our opponent) would have been played by the end of october. If everything's running uber well, we'll have 2nd round right after, and so on 'til the final, expected way before christmas lol. People unable to play during the week could arrange their match over the week-end if possible, for example...

Awesome!
Really hyped about it :D

[Storm_FF]

Thanks for the invite kanar! :)

Even if I'll go out in the first round, count me in :+

[kanar]

Yes, Storm, :rockthis is the spirit I'm talking about! Quoting that once again, cos' I believe it's the most important thing to know about this cup :
Custom Battle :pizza:
-Each pilot chooses 3 rounds (speed Class, single race (weapons/no weapons/green, lap number) OR zone battle/eliminator
-best of 7 rounds (you can pick the same track version twice only, counting round 7)
-the last round will be the same for everyone
Just in case : if a contender feels disadvantaged regarding custom battle choices :

"TEH FAIR RULE" :rockCAN BE ACTIVATED --->no more than 3 times the same mode, counting round 7 (optional rule, only activated in case of disagreement)
==============>CUSTOM BATTLE IS DEFAULT MODE!!!:hyper:hyper

[Chet_BG]

I'd like to take a part in this, too. I'm not very good at the game and I'll be happy to even pass 1st round, but participating is what's important so... :D

PSN: Chet_BG
I play Goteki 45 and I'm still not used with Phantom Class, so please don't make me play Phantom :D

[Dark_Phantom_89]

This is great stuff Kanar, a big thumbs up to you for organising all of this :+

[kanar]

Thanks DP, just trying to offer some good times to all the wipeout pilots around, like you did with the big avalon week-ends so far. HD was released long time ago now, even if it's still one of the best game on ps3, it's more & more difficult to renew its online interest. And the Cup setting doesn't require much involvement, as I'll just have to update the reported results.

[Aeroracer]

Hi Kanar..

I read the rules think i understand..

a few questions about thing i do not understand

whats round 7..it says same for everyone so what is it.

also when you draw lots for the games are you going to do it by random

or

are you going to do it like fifa style with seeding type system
and draw from random from the weaker group and match them with a player drawn from the stronger group to stop top players from eliminating them selves early and allowing weak players a chance to get to the final by luck

lastly i am not to sure about the eliminator and zone battle option..
their are quite a lot of players like me who just dont play these modes at all
their are a few players who wont race full stop and only play eliminator.
if these two types of players meet in a round it wont be much of a contest
as they will automatically lose the 3 rounds on game modes they just dont play and the 7th round will be won automatically by the player who game mode is used.

race player vs eliminator player

racer wins there 3 races
eliminator wins there 3 races
if the 7th round is a race, racer wins if its not they win.

can you explain please..as i am confused :dizzy

[kanar]

Hey Jasmin, you're right, it's time to fix this eliminator/round 7 issue. But first, about drawing lot :

- I'll try to make 2 hats, as much balanced as I can for each part of the board. As for nba playoffs I mean, west and east side. Depending of the vibes/interest here, I'll draw lots "live" at the wipeout museum (playstation home).

-Argh finally the main issue you talked about. Wipeout is first a racing game, so round 7 will always be a single race with weapons enabled (and probably a rapier class). So zoners & eliminator fans have still their chance, even if racing is a little bit favoured. All round player style.

Hope I answered to your querstions Jasmin, & thanks again for your interest.

[Aeroracer]

Thx for ansering questions

final round as a rapier race is good :)..rapier is playable by slower speed players and phantom players so its like middle ground..

two hats is good..would be a shame that all the top players eliminated themselves in round one and the final was between two beginner players.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

How about assigning each participant a number and draw them out of the hat that way?

[kanar]

Yes DP, nice idea. I'll assign numbers to each participant, then I'll make 2 (maybe 4) hats. Hats in order to prevent first killah rounds.

PS : 23 slots left.

[SaturnReturn]

I wasn't looking at the start date before. I should be able to arrange things with a relative level of certainty by the time mid-September comes around, so probably can commit to this. So please add my name to the list.:)

[kanar]

That's awesome news Sat, really happy you could make it :hyper. And I've finally fixed up the rules today, thanks to all of you guys, with your nice inputs. It's time to practice a bit now lol.

22 slots left

[RedScar]

I can probably make it if its september on the weekends. School will have started but It shouldn't be that serious right away so count me in unless I post otherwise.

[Deathjester87]

If you really want to make it like Wimbledon, you should have seeds - would also solve the problem of top players eliminating each other in the first round!

Oh, and I'm in - doubt I'll make it into the post-September rounds anyway, but will cross that bridge if I come to it.

[kanar]

thanks for joining and for your input deathjester! Yes I think you're right there, seeds will be the best way to go. I'll check Connavar website and i'll try to attribute seeds according to the overall rankings of this website. oh btw just 2 another things before i'll go to bed lol; you could choose a no barrel roll race too, and fury extension isn't a requirement. Oh and i would like to know if you guys are seeing a particular interest for elimiator mode addition into these cup settings. argh bed time

[ONlock]

Thanks for the invite.

I would love to join in on this, so count me in.

I think I'm gonna need montage for this: :rock

[Kyonshi]

It's my pleasure to join this great event! May the best reaction instincts win! :D:+

*Seeing is Believing*;)

[kanar]

thanks for joining guys! Just an important thing regarding the schedule, and how the 1st round will take place (noticed some misunderstandings there) :

As soon as we'll reach the 64 pilots limit, I'll draw lots (seeds system based on Connavar's rankings). Then you'll have 2 weeks or maybe a little more to arrange a meeting with your opponent. When you want. No obligation to be connected a particular time or anything, as it's an head to head competition (just like the nba playoffs or a tennis tournament). You'll just have to report the result here or directly to me.

[hacenetchik]

Niiice :hyper

Thank for the invite ,you can count on me too

I'm ready to rush, it will be a great event !
:+:+

[kanar]

My pleasure Hacenetchik! I'm still thinking about the rules, and as some of you guys already told me, I'm finally not sure eliminator mode is a good addition to this cup, as no one demonstrated any interest for it. So I'm asking the question :

Does someone care about eliminator? if not we'll only keep zone battle, with a 25 zone limitation.

[brainbeat]

Count me in :)

[kanar]

Thanks for joining mate! Ok here's the latest news :

RULES :
-Eliminator mode has been discarded. Zone Battle is still confirmed, but with some limitations (thanks Kaori for your advices) :

max target 50 : Syncopia - Mallavol - Pro Tozo - Corridon 12 - Anulpha Pass
max target 45 : Vineta K - Moa Therma
max target 40 : Metropia - The Amphiseum
max target 35 : Modesto Heights - Tech de Ra - Sol 2 - Ubermall
max target 30 : Sebenco Climb, Chenghou Project, Talon's Junction

And finally, 12 seats left before drawing lots!

zone battle (Max ZB=30)

Max zone is 30 or minimum zone is 30?

[kanar]

sorry I meant Zone targets. I'm updating everything right now.

[Aeroracer]

i am happy that eliminator is not going to be in this competition.
it would be much better in a competition of its own rather than being mixed into a primary racing competition..

Question to kanar....you said you will do the seeding based on connavers site.
but isnt connavers site completly out of date unless you update your own times which most players may not be doing or have i got this wrong..

[kanar]

lol true Jasmin, I'm myself guilty for not updating mine. I'll "protect" around 16 people for round 1, placing them into different part of the board like :

-seed
-
-
-
-
-
-
-seed
this scheme x4 for each part of the board

Errr weird example, sorry. Hope you got the picture though. So as I said I'll do my best to carefully choose these 16 seeded players, thanks to Connavar site, online rankings and well, my humble knowledge lol. Ok 1st post updated, 10 seats remaining!

[Aeroracer]

i think i will update my times now on conavars site..who knows i may be the world number one for all i know..:p but it would more likely that i am the pope.

[kanar]

Oh just got a nice input from Fyue on wipeoutarena.net, and he tried to explain me zone battle mode lol. Well from what I'm understanding, main interest of this mode remains in the higher targets. Soooo, the zone target limitation I talked about earlier will be optional, that is to say it will be activated only in case of disagreement regarding round choices with your opponent. So everyone is, once again and from what I know, happy:)

9 seats left ;)

[Nutcase:259]

what happens when we ( we meaning me ) go out first round? is that it? or will we race the other losers to see who is king of all losers! :lol

[kanar]

eh eh, well, it could be funny to organise a "sunday cup" between all the 1st round defeated pilots (I'd probably join it too nutcase lol). But I'm not sure everybody would be up for that, and what about the pilots eliminated after round 2 btw lol. sure thing though, we'll have a little final for 3rd place.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

What happens if a player disconnects? Does it count as a loss? Or will there be a mutual agreement whether to play the race again or not?

[kanar]

thanks for asking this question DP, was thinking about this possible issue today. Well hopefully this is not a tournament based competition, so disconnections shouldn't be a major issue. Just in case, opponents should be able to agree with at least 1 disconnection hazard each other. Maybe two if the psn is encoutering big issues by the time they're racing. So yes, I'll keep 1 disconnection hazard possibility in the rules, first post.

[Colonel]

Olivier,

Sign me up, I'm well up for it. I'll lose royally - especially now the eliminator round has been discarded :-( but it should be fun anyway.

Cheers,

Adam.

[KGB]

Sorry Kanar, another question ;). When we play the games do we have to tell the other players what mode/speed our three races will be before it happens or are we just going to spring it on them at the time of the race :twisted??

[kanar]

ah ah no worries kgb, my pleasure. Well I believe it would be better to announce your 3 choices before the start of the rounds, like by pm, some days after you arranged your online rendezvous for example. "Surprise!!!" mode could be fun though, but I think it's better to know what's going to happen before lol, especially if it's a venom race right after a phantom one :g

Aww sorry btw Colonel__Gadaffi, finally someone who's regretting this mode lol. Glad you're joining anyway!!

You asked where that stuff is taking place
I'm answering you it's in the matrix. It's between you and your opponent

You'll have to arrange an online rendezvous
With your 1st round opponent
You'll have 2 weeks for that.
and so on, if you're passing round 1

It's not a big deal, but do I have to enter every speed lap and time trial time that I have?

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Yep, you have to enter your scores manually. It's not so bad when you get used to it - you'll soon catch the bug as you see yourself climbing up the overall ranking leaderboards.

[Chet_BG]

Thanks again. I'm at work now, but when I get home I'll enter them.

Ok here's the latest news guys;

Registration process is almost complete, which is already awesome. Hope I could fill quickly the 3 seats remaining, in order to launch Step2.

Step2 : I'll send you all a confirmation pm on the psn (so please let me know your psn id if it's not already appearing in your profile there). Please answer to this pm I'll send you, or let me know by any means necessary if you want to withdraw for any reason, because I'll draw lots a few days later.

DRAWING OF LOTS LIVE @ the Wipeout Museum (ps home), TBA schedule
===> I'm not a second life fan at all myself, but I thought it could be fun to organise a virtual party and ownz the wipeout museum for a moment. Hope to meet you all on the dancefloor ;)!

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

I won't be at the WipEout Museum.Why? I cannot access it from my region.

[Chet_BG]

That's ****ed up. I made a UK account so I could use PS Store, but now it shows UK flag, and everyone thinks I'm British. Stupid Sony.

btw @kanar I don't use Home, but I checked it a few times. Where is this WipEout Museum? EU or US Home? And as far as I know, every space "exists" a few times. Because if everyone goes to the Mall for example it will be very crowded, so unless you send an invite there is no guarantee that when someone joins the Museum he will be in the same place as you. If you know what I mean :D

[JJPAP]

HahahaHAHA :lol
Draw at The WO Museum: Hillarious idea!
Gonna practice the salsa a bit, though ...
Erhhh, Kanar - One question: Are you allowed to smoke in the museum?
Maybe you should consider the WipEout2D tracks to be a part of The Avalon Cup (just to make things very complicated) :)

[KGB]

Drawing it in the museum is brilliant ;). I may have to buy some new clothes for it though, can't turn up like a scruff bag.

[kanar]

eh eh thanks for your thoughts guys, as I'm absolutely not a ps home user, I really don't know what to expect. But well this space is probably quite big for all of us. Chet_BG, I didn't know there was different spaces by region even for home, but I'm quite sure the wipeout museum (do a search including all universes) is available in your home version. Hey it's global servers btw? I think it's the case. We'll try to not set an awful GMT schedule for our friends outside europe.

By the way this "meet us @ the wipeout museum" won't be just for us cup participants, the more the merrier you know so hope we could all WZ members, invade this place that belongs to us from the start lol

[Nutcase:259]

cool idea kanar. like footie league draws.
btw has home actually become any good? wen i had it all we did was do the running man infront of people's lanes when they were bowling (haha they got soo mad) and build pyramids with the chairs in my 'virtual house'

[kanar]

Lol nutcase, almost the same experience as you. Only went mad when all the wipeout stuffs were added to home. I think this whole home experience is something great, but seriously do we have time for that often? I mean we're launching our ps3 in order to play games first. But for special moments, well for purposes, this home experience could be fun. We spent ages chatting while racing during avalon week-ends, sometimes we even faced chatbox limitations. So this home Wipeout museum party could be really fun eh eh. A good moment to share some tips or thoughts regarding the wo games, and as I said, show to those psn random errands this place is ZonE property ah ah. i like this idea to approriate ourselves this universe, cos' sincerely, you're pretty amazed by the place if you're a wipeout fan.

[Chet_BG]

Home could've been great, But it's way too slow. If you could enter Home and after you talk with your buddy and you both agree what race and what track you want to play to start the game in seconds it would've been great. But everything happens so slow, that the only thing you can really use it is a free Second Life....

You didn't have to come back with saying about whether or not you can draw.

All you had to say was "it was pic i picked up and used."
and i still would say "quirex handles like a school bus."


and last thing.
You sent the pm asking me to get involve in this thing.

I don't say no when i am asking to joing something.

One last thing, Kanar - is it HD ships only, Fury ships only, or a mix of both?

[kanar]

hey Challenger #001, you're free to go with whatever ship you want. Fury isn't required by the way, so if you're playing a non fury opponent, you'll have only a track restriction.

[SaturnReturn]

Hmm, and a game mode restriction. No Zone battle option without Fury.

[kanar]

ah ah that one was so obvious. Thanks for the reminder Sat. Ok great news; XBARNSTERX and Leungbok accepted to join the cup, so :

Rendezvous Saturday, aug 28, 23H00 gmt @ the wipeout museum (ps home) for drawing lots live. Don't forget to add Kanar_is_back as a friend by the way, as I'll come with this id. This part is optional of course, as you will all receive a psn update by pm right after.

To sum up, ROUND ONE BEGINS SUNDAY (of course you'll have 2 weeks, maybe a little more, to play your match)

[Kyonshi]

May i ask to use a font easier to read, Kanar? This one is great, but it's so smashed-flat its a bit hard for the eyes. Maybe stretch it upward a bit? :)

[kanar]

sure Kyonshi, I'll use another font for the final board that I'll post tomorrow, after the drawing lots ceremony on home tonight.

[OBH]

this is so cool :)
i love 1vs1 competition. time to grab myself some popcorn!

[icarasDragon]

Wait I just need something clarified.
With the seeded players thing, is it that players are randomly picked for rounds or are they picked by rank? :|

[SaturnReturn]

The 16 seeded players are just placed on the board in the first round such that they cannot play each other before a certain round. The remaining players are picked randomly.

In each eighth of the board, there will be 4 matches in the first round. Two of those will involve a seeded player. Each seeded player will play against one of the remaining players who was drawn at random.

Of the other two matches in that part of the board, which don't already have a seeded player assigned, all four of the players will be drawn against each other at random.

I guess non-seeded players basically want to not be drawn against a seeded player in the first round. Although I expect some of us (me) are well out of practice these days and don't expect to put up much of a fight.;)

[icarasDragon]

So basically it's just "wait for your name to be picked :P"
Can't wait for my round!

[KGB]

What's the chances of me playing Hellfire - someone who I can never beat!

Might not be able to make it tonight, I'll try my hardest though.

[Nutcase:259]

i'll be just my luck i get drawn against one of the seeded players 1st round :lol
still never give up :D
might make it to home. but don't know if the ps3 can handle the install
Thar she blows!!! :blarg

[Hellfire_WZ]

What's the chances of me playing Hellfire - someone who I can never beat!

*slips kanar 50 quid* ;)

[Amorbis]

Whoever gets drawn to face me first will have it easy looking at the table, that and the fact I've been seeded as lucky 13!

I'll try to give you a hard time though, maybe some nasty settings or something. A 20 lap no-weapons venom race on Moa Therma should sort anyone out. :D

[kanar]

Sat, big thanks for the explanations above. Regarding the drawing order, I'll begin with shapealot match to eric's one, then I'll fill the right side of the board respecting the same order.

And thanks a lot for your interest guys, really appreciated!

[IDReaper]

Can't wait for the match ups :hyper

I'd love to go up against a seeded player first, it'll make the road ahead a bit easier ;)

[KGB]

*slips kanar 50 quid* ;)

*slips Kanar 60 quid*

[kanar]

ah ah no I'm incapable of being corrupted (mm gt5 signature edition maybe?:nod)

The little papers with all the names are in my psp case, ready to be picked in less than 2 hours now eh eh

(drawing lots live @ the ps home wipeout museum, 23h00 gmt, kanar_is_back will be your host)

direct feed @ the avalon lounge chatbox too, for the people having problems with home or outside europe without 2nd euro account

[ONlock]

Good job Kanar, you got it done!

Colonel gadafi.. I think that was his name. We have to schedule!

[kanar]

what a funny experience we got there lol, never saw as much people as tonight in the wipeout museum ah ah, and when ONlock pmed me you guys are all waiting for me 1h before the scheduled time awww lol. THIS IS a community. Well the ps home is fking dumbass thing with weird controls and it was difficult to follow all conversations, but just the fact we gathered together made this stuff awesome. We should definitely do that again. Anyway for our friends who couldn't make it, here's the final board :

Well... I hope I put some challenge xD

[Aeroracer]

lol..your having a laugh..i got to play andybob35..
he is so fast he will finish and win the 7 races before i even finished one..
i have more chance of winning the lottery without buying a ticket than even winning a game against this wipeout monster :nod

[concrete_d]

I have to race Ace3cube?? :eek There go my chances...:lol

[Kyonshi]

Damn, Hellfire's on me? What the Hell am i supposed to do with this????

You know Kanar, if you didnt want me to take part, you should have told me right away... ;)

[kanar]

lol Kyonshi, yeah round one is already lethal for lots of us; I'm against my mate Xtriko gah for a crazy alkaholic match ah ah. Ok today is going to be a marathon for me, so the board pic & pms will come later in the day. Thanks again for your interest guys, you can already prepare your meetings, anyway you have around 2/3 weeks to complete round 1.

[Challenger #001]

I've never raced Assayeah, but it sounds as if he's good. Damn.

[Golgofier]

Ooh, I had almost forgotten I signed up for this!
Nice job organizing, Kanar! :+
Looking forward to racing novide, never met him before but I'm sure it'll be fun 8)

[mikrucio]

lol


lurifaxflux vs
luxoflux

[mic-dk]

Leungbok vs me... :eek

I can just hope you forget it is a race and BR yourself to an early death :lol

[mikrucio]

don't fret guys. even the pros stuff up!
you could get lucky and get 2 quakes in a row and quake them off the track,

or get lucky with a few good missiles and rockets.
thats the beauty of weapons! gives us not to good players a chance!

[leungbok]

I can just hope you forget it is a race and BR yourself to an early death :lol

Possible ! I always do that ! :lol

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Oh god, I have to face Huntergreg8 in the first round? Dammit! :twisted

Think I've drawn the short straw here - all of my rounds are going to be brutal!

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

Hm...
Looks like I'll be racing against Storm_FF in the Preliminaries(whatever)/Round 1

[Chet_BG]

When will we know what's the pre-defined race?

[Nutcase:259]

^ yeah same

seems im against falcopelle, never raced before so this is a somewhat unknown quantity :cold

Have at you falcopelle!!! :rock :D

[kanar]

When will we know what's the pre-defined race?

Hey guys, at my mom's house for my birthday lol. Just checked the thread ah ah, thanks a lot for your inputs :P;

I'll give you the pre-defined race setting tonight I promise 8), with a psn pm update.

[Kyonshi]

I've never raced Assayeah, but it sounds as if he's good. Damn.

You think he's merely "good"??? You wonder what he would be like?

The Finger of God, man. :eek








Yes, i know.

[KGB]

It was funny doing "the running man" last night, pity there isn't a Conga option :g.

So I got Zoth :frown:. Should be very close.

Well done kanar for organising it all :+.

[Aeroracer]

I've never raced Assayeah, but it sounds as if he's good. Damn.

i heard Assayeah is the chuck norris of wipeout.he can still win races without having to use a game controller or a ps3.i heard he plays blindfolded using his feet to add challenge to the game.:nod

[blackwiggle]

All true.
His one possible known weak spot is an occasional over consumption of Schnitzel.:g

[xtriko]

Asa is THE YODA of WipEout! No Darkside at all. Even if he loses, he always smile and have fun. If someone would be choosed to represent WipEout, He's the guy. No only fast at 1 version... but in ALL of them! That's why I call him "Sensei" :)

[kanar]

yep Xtriko, and I'm really honoured to have him in this cup. Ok guys took some delay with the original schedule, psn update by pm will come tonight hopefully. Giving you guys already ROUND 7 settings :

ROUND 7 WILL BE :

SINGLE RACE/RAPIER/WEAPONS ON/ANULPHA PASS

[OBH]

i heard Assayeah is the chuck norris of wipeout.
:D:+
Asa doesnt barrel roll. The earth does.

[leungbok]

AsSayyeah is a pulse's cheater, and Asayyeah is a legend ! ;)

Asa is THE YODA of WipEout!

You mean the little coward that fled on tunnels instead of facing dark sidious ? :eek
:lol

[Challenger #001]

Ah. Oh. Um.










Anyone wanna trade?

[kanar]

Guys Asa is for sure a legend. But this wipeout community is about to be legendary too (well already done lol We aRe NinE!). We're a small world for sure. But we're strong, and probably stronger than lots of random hardcore gamers playing weirdoe random games. Funny to see how many awesome wipeout pilots are owning other videogames. That's probably because we chose the hardest game ever. And the best experience ever. When I'm listening to Chicane/From where I stand or Faithless/Tweak your nipple, and ridding my Icaras Mark_I for a speed lap session____Or when I'm online, listening to this same music, racing with all my wipeout friends====> I'm just flying real High, forgetting, just for a moment, the weight of real life. Thanks to all of you. Best community ever, but already said that ah ah.
Ok stopping right now with that crap, just wanted to grant you ALL with a HUGE "thanks" once again, cos' seriously ,I couldn't even imagine such support & interest for this cup. Of course, we're just at the beginning, but yeah, sounds like a promising journey in World of Wipeout.

questions for kanar:)

when i chose my 3 races out of the 7

can i pick a track more than once.

can i pick the same track on different speed classes

what happens if i pick rapier races and my opponent refuses say he is phantom only...

what happens if there is no aggreement..

hopefully i dont think i will get this as my opponent can do all tracks top 20 i was just wondering..

many thx

edit lastly

im now confused as to who i am playing i thought i was playing andy but list says chet..can u explain please

edit 2 ..its ok i understand now i got andybob...hopefully he will feel sorry for me and let me win the match so i can go to next round

[kanar]

eh eh thanks Jasmin for helping me with the next psn pm update; good questions.

can i pick a track more than once.

=> yes, twice as the maximum in fact should be the best way, but if your opponent is ok wth 3 times the same track (version, means for ex. vineta rev x3) why not? But he could refuse that, twice max remaining as default settings.

can i pick the same track on different speed classes
=>Of course, just try to stay as I said, with twice the same track version, for more fairness

what happens if i pick rapier races and my opponent refuses say he is phantom only...
=>Custom battle is default mode, means you're choosing 3 rounds, & your opponent is choosing 3 rounds. That's all, you must own his playground, and he must do the same for the win. All-round player style!

what happens if there is no aggreement..
=>The only points that could lead to a disaggreement are :
-zone targets (please report to the first post of this thread for optional zone target settings)
-Well that's all?

Hope I could answer to your questions Jasmin!

[Aeroracer]

thx kanar...

btw i really think you have done a good job of this setting up the torney..

you have put a lot of work in already and got the players together

you also have done a nice job with the avalon league.

you have put as much into wipeout keeping it alive as SL did bringing wipeout to life well as much as is realistically possible...

other people have made fantastic contributions to towards the game which i have not forgotten but im talking about you personally at the moment not them, and thank you for all the extra things you have brought to wipeout online.

a big thankyou from me..

[kanar]

aww :redface: I'm fallin in love ah ah. Thanks for your words Jasmin. See you soon online!

[Aeroracer]

look forward to it.....

Moler.

[kanar]

You're facing triboy Techno, and phew round 1 already looks like a death sentence for lots of us ah ah. Took some delay with the psn update by pm, but I'll do that today I promise!

[icarasDragon]

*Spits out coffee* So if i win on ericd7m i face DP89!? (Probably :blarg )
:g

[kanar]

hey DialgiX, no, if you're passing this round you'll face kyonshi or Hellfire (well, tough guys too :blarg)

[DJ Techno]

well triboy?

can wait while i take two things...

I have a boxing match or spend the extra hundred bucks on doctor tooth.

plus when i looked at the outcome of the first rounds on my pointing
i thought the arrows were pointing to infox.

great i got to change my words i said about this thing on facebook.

[kanar]

yeah sorry Techno and all of you guys, the board is really ugly and difficult to follow. Techno if you're passing first round you'll face JJPAP or TarquinFarquar, as your board is going to the left (weird explanation there:blarg)

It's gonna be nice following this thread and competition! The first posts after the draw are already funny! "I'm racing *him*?? Nooo!!" :g
There are so many good players, I'm almost glad for my heart I'm not joining!
Anyway, good luck to all the contenders, and well done kanar for doing this!

Yeah good one OBH, and seriously we're fkin miss you mate. Thanks Guillaume for your post, and well yes, I'm really impressed by the board. 63 crazy aces, not less ah ah. And some of them are even legendary pilots 8). Talking about legends, Rob, once again thank you for joining us on this one, I'm really honoured by your participation. I really hope you could enjoy the moment, and maybe catch the wipeout virus once again?

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

Me an ace? As if.:D
When's Storm_FF online in terms of GMT+8?

[KGB]

Me and Zoth will be playing our match on Thursday at 2pm.

If I was a betting man I would put money on Tarquin doing well in this, he was unbeatable before :g.

[amplificated]

Sorry Kanar, I would've tried to participate if I were active, this looks like a great tournament :(

I hardly even get around to turning my PS3 on these days.

[kanar]

no probs Ampli, I'm coming out of retirement myself after a few months. Really hard to find time for gaming sometimes. Ok guys just finished with the psn spamming cup thing, and sorry forgot to add

ROUND 7 IS : SINGLE RACE/RAPIER/WEAPONS ON/ANULPHA PASS FOR EVERYONE, AND BEST OF 7 MEANS IT'S THE FIRST TO REACH 4 WINS (basketball playoffs settings)

I and Shapealot just finished racing.
All races were rapier, 4 laps, weapons on. We just made a tournament 8)
My tracks were:
Anulpha Pass
Moa Therma
Sebenco Climb
His were:
Sol 2
Chenghou Project
Sebenco Climb Reverse
And the track for everyone:
Anulpha Pass
He won all of them. :(

Alright Kanar

Would love to join the tournament

Which reminds me; do we just post results here or would it be easier for La Capitaine de Route if we pm/PSN you?

[billychanxtr33m]

sent mikerucio a pm on psn, tell me if you didnt get it

[kanar]

Which reminds me; do we just post results here or would it be easier for La Capitaine de Route if we pm/PSN you?

no worries mate, you can use any mean necessary, from the post here to the psn pm, guys just report to me as you wish.

MakyuraJT I'm sorry the competition already started, limited to 64 entries like a tennis tournament. But I put you in the waiting list, cos' everything can still happen, like a MIA pilot before starting round 1. I'll keep you tuned.

Ok, so we have one result already, as far as I understood Shapealot showed his muscles :mr-t; congrats mate, & Chet keep it up, next time _and with practice_ I'm sure you'll be tough enough for a better result!

MATCH REPORT : Shapealot advances to next round !

[DJ Techno]

Passing. As in skipping a match with Boy.
I got the root canal set for tomorrow morning.
I got my pain n antibiotics today.

But i'll wait on boy to show up.
Why not. I'm the one with the handicap

On the board posted here. I'm on the right n so is the boy..
That's how I saw it and got confused with the arrows pointing

[SaturnReturn]

It's not really that hard to understand the board now, if people are familiar with the format. It's actually exactly the same format as was used in the FIFA World Cup this year:
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/index.html

Now imagine that repeated three more times below that and it's what we have here. From the top quarter, Spain would be goddess and Holland would be Colonel_G. Spain/goddess would win that quarter and go on to face the winner of the second quarter of the table. The same would happen between the third and fourth quarters of the table. Then the winner of each half is in the ultimate final.

I think the first post of the list after the Home meet-up was the one which confused some, but you've sorted that now kanar, so hopefully anyone who is not familiar with the format can refer to the world cup link above for a good explanation.

[Aeroracer]

i didnt understand it at first but when i looked at it for a whole 10 seconds wicih is a lifetime to me i understood it..its actually a really good chart..you can even have a guess of who the winners may be of the groups..:nod

[kanar]

Thanks once again for helping me there Saturn, would have been awesome if I had 40h in a day in order to deal with the day at work, take care of my wife, practice my speed laps, play online with my friends, and make a beautiful board for this awesome cup. I had tons of ideas for some funky teasers too, like us dancing at the wipeout museum, hd racing shootings, maybe some Jackass/steve O racing in soap boxes... Argh and this english language. Need some lessons too.

AVALON CUP BREAKING NEWS :
- Shapealot advances to next round ! He's the first qualified, and will meet...
- Kanar or Xtriko, who will do that drunk ... and it will be recorded!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Righto, I've contacted G-Superpilot, so hopefully should have my match during the week.

[kanar]

Jeez DP, that's going to be an epic meeting there. Argh 1st round is already insane for lots of us!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

True Kanar, all of my rounds are going to be insane...

Ace3, concrete_d, Fyue, RedScar, thisisdog, erich123 and G-Superpilot - Gah!! :twisted

[kanar]

Aaaargh. I'm sorry DP89, seems like there's a misunderstanding there; my fault once again, with all these weird explanations from me everywhere.

It's like the TENNIS US OPEN atm, I mean if you're winning Gsuperpilot, you'll meet the winner of Redscar/Fyue3, and so on 'til one single name will remain from your board (so that we'll have 4 quarter finals with all the boards completed). Hope this time I managed to be clear gah, DP89 & you all guys, sorry for these shameful misunderstandings; this cup could be renamed as "the wipeout cup of death" :blarg


... It's actually exactly the same format as was used in the FIFA World Cup this year:

Spain/goddess would win that quarter and go on to face the winner of the second quarter of the table. The same would happen between the third and fourth quarters of the table. Then the winner of each half is in the ultimate final.

Saturn explained the cup following pretty well there, it's exactly like the final FIFA board after preliminary round, with 64 pilots instead of 16 teams.

On a side note, sure, would have been awesome to organize a preliminary round like the FIFA world cup, but I think it would have required way too much implication for everyone; Wipeout is not Call of Duty, so I wanted to stay on a short format, knock-out rounds like tennis, so that we could maybe do that again very soon, with maybe 128 pilots this time ;)

When should I contact ericd7?

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Aaaargh. I'm sorry DP89, seems like there's a misunderstanding there; my fault once again, with all these weird explanations from me everywhere.

No it was my fault Kanar :paperbag. I understand how the league works, but didn't really put it down well in my previous post.

[kanar]

When should I contact ericd7?

Mate, eric will be unavailable next week , that would be awesome if you guys could arrange your meeting this week/in the next few days :paperbag

[Darkdrium777]

I would think that everyone in the round of 64 would have to play at relatively the same time no?

[kanar]

everyone has a 2/3 weeks delay to organise his meeting, in order to sync secret wipeout gaming activities with the weight of real life lol. The sooner the better of course, as it would be awesome to launch round 2 before the end of september.

[Darkdrium777]

Yeah I get that.

What I meant is that everyone in the competition should be organizing/playing their first match now, not just shapealot (Who just got done) right?

Because I'm not sure if everyone understood that point clearly enough. It's just so that there aren't any people left in the dark who didn't know they had to play their match when the current time period for it to be played has ended.

[kanar]

hopefully I spammed 63 people through my ps3, even the administrator of this website lol. Did that for each cup status, woah pain in the ass thing. And I'll quickly make a psn update by pm wth your nice board too. I'm focused on 3/4 people who actually didn't show up since the draw, most of 'em for known reasons (holidays), so the waiting list (1_ Ichigo, 2_MakyuraJT, 3_Z1) could be used once again.

[Darkdrium777]

Okay cool :)

Hopefully it turns out to be interesting ;)

Good luck to all the players!

[ericd7]

@ DialgiX:

I sent you a message.
See you soon

[DJ Techno]

i got the tooth surgery done...

its out of the mouth.

an absessed tooth. i guess having it out is better than dying from yellow fluid produced from it. and then not making the next rounds or anything else.


well. tipboy, t boy.

its not hard to locate me on the psn network
its one work djtechno.

[Nutcase:259]

made 1st contact with FalcoPelle

TBA week after next is the best i can do ATM, seeing as he doesnt want to next week and im not here next week.8)

seem pretty even though (unless hes going easy, or i have an ace up my sleeve...)
so yeah. longer wait makes it all the more dramatic a battle :lol

[UB3R~JKP]

Too late! Bugger! XD
Hope there is another cup sometime ;)

[TarquinFarqhuar]

Me and Zoth will be playing our match on Thursday at 2pm.

If I was a betting man I would put money on Tarquin doing well in this, he was unbeatable before :g.

Cheers kgb, I think I just got lucky with the pick-ups :nod was a good session tho :+

[kanar]

I'm actually studying this possibility UB3R~JKP 8), if this one is a success, and if the community can survive the Gt5 wave, we'll certainly renew the experience.

Nutcase:259, that's ok, you guys will stay in the 3 weeks window so everything's fine. 2 weeks delay was "hopefully", 3 weeks is ok too.

[JJPAP]

Incoming result ... :)

I have the pleasure to announce that Mr. Tarquin is through to the next round :+

A tremendeous battle it was!

Seb FW: Tarquin
Anulpha FW: Tarquin
Uber REV: Tarquin
Metropia FW: JJ
Anulpha REV: JJ
Vin K REV: JJ
(All phantom - No Weps)

And finally ...
Anulpha FW Rapier Weps On: Tarquin

Long time since I´ve felt so much intensity wipeouting.
The only thing that could make it better was if Tarquin and I were actually sitting in the same room sharing some redwine, while wiping :D

Tarquin: Best of luck to you in the rest of the tourney - A pleasure racing with (and against) you, mate :)

I am working on better compression but I don't know if I can get it as close to 50KB but with less quality loss.
I can't.

[TarquinFarqhuar]

JJ, as always, i had a great time racin' wi you. it's a total bummer one of us had to go out on the first round. :(

it was a close one, I was god damn quakin' by the last race, even the wine couldn't calm me. the weed helped tho :nod thought it was a nice touch each of us won our races of choice.

recorded these races, they should be up in a few hours, hopefully

i'll do my best to make sure your early exit counts for something lol, cant promise anythin' tho :D

Cheers

Here's mine and JJ's races http://www.youtube.com/user/TarquinFarqhuar#grid/user/F7ACCAC139B1EC45

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Me and G-Superpilot have arranged our match for 8pm GMT (9pm France time) on Saturday. Should be a close one :+

[LurifaxFlux]

Waiting for a response from Luxoflux, he seems kinda inactive though since he hasn't been on here for some days :P

[Asayyeah]

First of all I would like to thank Kanar about the awesome idea he had, organizing this big Avalon Cup. How can you resist to such dedication coming out from the crazy mind of our beloved Kanar.
As i can see, i am not the only one wiping the dust from HD' controller : that should be extremely interesting and on top of that a great moment to spend with friends we already raced in the past or new faces with strong skill.
I can't resist to quote few members so here it is :

I've never raced Asayeah, but it sounds as if he's good. Damn.
good thing with english language about the 's you can use present(is) or past(was) so yeah i agree i was good at a point :g


You think he's merely "good"??? You wonder what he would be like?
The Finger of God, man. :eek
Yes, i know. lol Kyonshi you ve been contaminated by Al's speeches about me : don't trust a crazy Vermont King :P. And about finger hope it's not the middle one or the 2 in parallel (for UK people) :g


i heard Asayeah is the chuck norris of wipeout.he can still win races without having to use a game controller or a ps3.i heard he plays blindfolded using his feet to add challenge to the game.:nod LOL Jasmin. Hopefully you haven't mentionned how I play with my 3rd leg (yummie yummie :twisted)


All true.
His one possible known weak spot is an occasional over consumption of Schnitzel.:g
Ahahahah funnily enough i still have this awful taste in my mind , blahhh:mr-t

Asa is THE YODA of WipEout! No Darkside at all. Even if he loses, he always smile and have fun. If someone would be choosed to represent WipEout, He's the guy. No only fast at 1 version... but in ALL of them! That's why I call him "Sensei" :) Ahhh Mauro if you were a girl i would marry you in a second :nod


:D:+
Asa doesnt barrel roll. The earth does.
LMAO Haydn. Einstein & Hawking were totally wrong and you proved it ! hats off 8)

@Challenger001 : my psn friend list is full but i will send you today an invite with my japanese account which is almost close to my current nickname; we can organize something this weekend or during the next week ;)

[Colonel]

I've sent Onlock a PM. I've been having trouble getting on here with my Colonel__Gaddafi account so I've created a new one. I'm hoping to play Onlock sometime around Tuesday / Wednesday.

[erich123]

Me and thisisdog race on saterday:D
Don't know much about him,but he's french. And the french are pretty good:P.hehe.

[IDReaper]

Hey guyz, me vs Fabimus at 23:00 GMT this Saturday! Lap count ranging from 8 to 20! Be there if u wantz to see the endurance battle of awesome:g

[Darkdrium777]

Colonel, you should have sent an e-mail to Infoxicated using the "Contact Us" (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/sendmessage.php) form. Duplicate accounts are not favored here ;)

[SaturnReturn]

Still can contact Rob, as he should be able to merge the accounts once the problem is solved.

[Colonel]

Okay thanks I'll do that, been really busy of late. I just wanted a quick way of being able to post, specifically about the Avalon Cup. Will sort it at the weekend.

Wotan still plays?? Cant remember the last time I saw Wotan on HD.

He was even one of the first to join the cup when I initialy talked about that on woarena chat with kaori and him. I'm really glad he decided to come back to the track for this cup (TURN THIS BURNOUT OFF!:g), we're missing already way too much aces like Welly, Kingheim, pirah... lots of great pilots who turned their back to hd.

What a report there Guys!, what a tough one once again! Big congrats to you both. So you can breathe again kgb, 'til next round, Falcopelle or Nutcase 8)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Well, I thought it was going to be close, and bloody hell it was. Each race was around 0.10 secs difference in finsihing times.

DP89 - 3 G-Superpilot - 4

My choices:
Amphiseum Reverse, Weps On - G-Superpilot won
Vineta K Reverse, Weps Off - DP89 Won
Sol 2 Forward, Weps Off - DP89 Won

G-Superpilot's Choices:
Modesto Forward, Green Race - G-Superpilot Won
Modesto Reverse, Green Race - G-Superpilot Won
Ubermall Forward, Green Race - G-Superpilot Won

Compulsory Track:
Anulpha Fwd, Rapier, Weps On - DP89 Won

And so I'm out in the first round. Absolutely gutted, but I had a tough group and an even tougher opponent. Anyway, no excuses, he won fair and square :)

[HunterGreg8]

Indeed it was so close. My heart jumped at every race lol.

[SaturnReturn]

Wow, no. 2 seed out first round - shocker! Congrats G-super. Don't worry DP, I'm not confident about this cup at all and I think I may will be joining you soon enough.:nod

[Hellfire_WZ]

My races:

Amphiseum - Phantom - Weapons on - Kyonshi

Kyonshi's races:
Anulpha Pass Reverse - Phantom - Weapons on - Kyonshi
Modesto Heights Reverse - Phantom - Weapons on -Hellfire_WZ
Vineta K Reverse - Phantom - Weapons on - Hellfire_WZ

Final race:
Anulpha Pass - Rapier - Weapons on - Kyonshi

RESULT
Hellfire_WZ - 4
Kyonshi - 3

Thanks for the races mate, I had my heart in my mouth for a good number of them! Sorry to hear there were a few bullshitty moments your end, it's always an arse when it happens at the worst possible moment.
