Avalon: Typhoon - From Makana with Love

Well, this is a reckoning for me. This could end up being my last Avalon depending on how DP and kanar think I run this particular example of our weekends of WipEout racing. There was no match in January mostly due to the WipEout HD Cup but also partly due to my mounting schoolwork and a lack of time to do very much with it. But I'm back, and I may run another Av event in late February as well if I can pull it off. I haven't forgotten this and how so many people seemed to enjoy it.

One thing that seems to have been popular are multi-player friendly tournaments, though it seems a few people seem to only stumble into them. I've added slots below for you to mention your interest in participating in a 4v4. Ask me for an invite to the Avalon Lounge chatbox if necessary, and hang around there in the evenings. The 4v4s tend to be the last event of the night, so you can probably expect them from 10:30 GMT onwards, maybe later.

I'll be hosting various races, but one of my limitations is that I'm on an SD TV and it's difficult to read off the lap times. If you win a race, please record your times for the purposes of bothering me with updating the leaderboard. The only times I will make a habit of recording are the endurance races, and don't worry - I genuinely will be hosting some of those. Just don't run screaming out the room when the counter goes up to 20. :P

ONLocke is kindly keeping the Mumble server up, and I should be on that over the weekend when I can, as well as on the previous Sunday (the 30th) for the Mumbvalon Mini Event. :) If you haven't signed up already, please do check here. http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7766

I'm once again throwing the possibility open for Zone Battles this Avalon, though how many I'll actually host will be a moot point. I would imagine the better Zoners will host a room together, perhaps Triboy and his posse will set a nice one up. :P

I doubt there'll be a home meeting this time, but if you want to go to the WipEout museum or even if TwitchySpitfire's still got a party going at his place, I'm sure that can be arranged.

Remember, newer pilots are always welcome, and older pilots need to be there to teach the younger whippersnappers a lesson. ;) If one of these 4v4s could be old hands versus hotshots, I reckon that could be an interesting arrangement. >3

[Oryx Crake]

ok I'm in but I still think I need to learn the ropes a bit XD also where do I fall in the categories old hand or hotshot? <.<

[Woopzilla]

I'll be in for the 4v4s. ^_^

[Connavar]

Could be fun!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'll do some hosting and I'd love to take part in a 4v4 at some point. :)

[Challenger #001]

No worries Woop, just tell me what days you're available. I'll try and do it first come first served basis, but if you've got multiple days and someone wants in, you'll get a boot I'm afraid.

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

Interesting...it coincides with Chinese New Year. Not sure about when I'll be going to relatives' homes to wiss them happy new year,though

[yeldar2097]

I'll be doing pretty much exclusively Edurance (Weps off ;)) :)

[Aeroracer]

i wanna 3 on 3 gotta talk to luna and medusa first see if we can all get there on time..

also like to see a bit of variety try rapier and flash as i dont see this at avalons ive been too..

[mikrucio]

since im outa the cup. may as well partake in the festivities!
count me in ya'll

:mr-t:+

[icarasDragon]

Well, If it's any WipEout FuRY action I want in!
Just depends on the times converted to GMT+ 10...

[KGB]

Well it's a certain little boy's birthday on the 4th (no not you Big G :P) so I won't make the first day, but should be about for the Saturday. 4v4 sounds fun.

[Challenger #001]

All those wanting to do a 4v4, could you say any particular days you're free? Would help me organise the lineups. :nod

@FEISAR, what Chinese new year is it? And sorry to hear you won't be there.

@jasmine, I've nothing against Flash or Rapier happening during these events, but I won't set them up nor take records. Mostly because I'm lazy and I don't want to have to set up brand new threads in the already stuffed first post for Flash records. But ACE-FLO has all the ability to make Avalon-style Flash races.

@DialgX, Well, add 10 to all the times I'm hosting, I should be on there for you. :3

@KGB, Good to hear! Don't let us bunch of geeks keep you from your son's party. :3 See you on Saturday though.

[R3BU5ER]

When I can get my girlfriend something to do and my little girl is in a good long sleep I might be there on Saturday :)
Maybe I'll join the chatroom for a change ;)

Grtzz

[Medusa]

I'll join for parts of it at least...the Friday looks most promising at the moment.

[Aeroracer]

@ Challenger #001...

dont think ace can set up a flash avalon event to well cos he is banned from woz..kinda makes it tricky posting in the avalon flash section...:P

though i do understand that you would have alot more work to do if you set it up so i accept that..just was inquiring really.

oh..........btw......... it's jasmin not jasmine...:P

[Challenger #001]

As far as I was aware, Avalon is open to all, not just Zoners. ^^ If ACE or anyone else wants to run flash events over Avalon in the Avalon format I'm not going to stop them. It's all about enjoying the game after all. :)

And shall I put the Pussycat Pilots down for the 4v4 on Friday Night then?

[UB3R~JKP]

avalon?!? holy crap count me in bro!!!:nod:+:+:+:+

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'll definitely get some good filming done for this event. :+

[yeldar2097]

and more record pinching no doubt ;)

[Challenger #001]

I dunno. I reckon we could see a few new faces up at the top. ;) Triboy and Woopzilla have tasted blood and they want more. :twisted

Also, all guys (not gals, you've been very helpful. ^^) who've posted before. What days will you be able to do 4v4s? It'd just help for me to have it all sorted out before.

And for the record, I'll be flying a Zone Battle Qirex throughout the whole event. If you ever lose me in a race, just aim for the guy with the glowy ship that doesn't want to get off the track.

[SaturnReturn]

I won't be able to make it at all this weekend afaik. I will be at my cousin's wedding. :(

[Challenger #001]

Sorry to hear that Saturn - you're usually a good host. Have fun at the wedding. :) That goes for all of you that can't make it - I'm not going to keep you from RL duties if you need to. Just make sure you enjoy them if you can. ^^

[UB3R~JKP]

well I regret having to type this but last night at 9PM my WipEout blu-ray ceased working due to a small crack that has slowly expanded since last summer...guess my WO days are over for now.
sorry I can't make it guys :(

[DreamyElf]

Sorry to hear that Ub3r...Hopefully you'll find another BRD soon or download it from the psn(even though the save it's incompatible i think).

Regarding Avalon, i wasn't around in the last one(GT5 issues) so i'll be around as much as i can this time.
Looking forward to some 4vs4 and enduros^^

[Medusa]

I just read the first post properly, and saw, "The same ship cannot be repeated on different teams."
What does this mean? Each team is racing a certain ship? Or what? I don't quite get it...

[Nutcase:259]

If you need someone for the 4v4 i dont mind :) ( Ulterior motive is that i check out my round 3 HD cup opponent ;) )

Also dont get the ship thing, although you could probably spell it out & i'd be oblivious :P :lol

[Challenger #001]

Basically, no using the same ship on both sides. So you can't have an AG-Systems on both side - only one side can use them. ^^

Typhoon will be going from about 2 GMT today. Buckle your seatbelts everyone. :D

[UB3R~JKP]

well Ive just been told there are NO bluray WOs at my local gamestation and Ihave tried those psn gamesharing websites but to no avail:( gonna continue looking though!

[Nutcase:259]

Nabbed a record in a AG-SYS after a moment of Auricom madness:D

excellent. its all falling into place
Mwhahhahhahahahahahah aaahhahahahahahahahaahhahaha

[Medusa]

Had a blast racing you all today, thanks for the fun races! I don't think I'll make it on avalon the rest of the weekend, life looks rather nuts. :(

[DreamyElf]

I had fun too last night, thx everyone for the races!
I had the chance to race with Medusa for the first time, DP got a WR on TJ rev, i've raced some old pilots so everything was great. :)
I hope today will be as good or even better!^^

[R3BU5ER]

Yeah that were some Nice races yesterday, I even forgot about my 1vs1 match against Leungbok lol, I was too stoned yesterday lol, maybe I'll be there for Ã* short moment somewhere after midnight, but I'm not Sure. Thanx to all! :)

[Challenger #001]

Just got off one of the team races that seems to crop up a lot in Avalon - thought you'd like to see the results.




Team FEISAR vs Team AG-Systems vs Team Mirage vs Team Icamau

2v2v2v2 12-race tournament, Phantom Class, BRs, Weapons and Hints On.

FEISAR - DreamyElf + nutcase:259 = 48 + 50 = 98

AG-Systems - LUNA_bgd + challenger001 = 60 + 28 = 88

Icamau - triboy + P_Denton = 62 + 21 = 83

Mirage - Dark_Phantom_89 + Oryx_Crake = 53 + 24 = 77




---

Thanks for racing, chaps and chapette!

[Oryx Crake]

oh dear my shame immortalized on the forum XD its always an honour to be racing with you guys if not always as pleasurable (had a truly atrociously bad day on wo today) lets do it again sometime though :)

[Challenger #001]

Day 2 of Avalon ends a lot better than Day 1 I have to day. Best Avalon day I've attended so far, let alone hosted. ^_^

Thanks go to R3BUSER, morfeo, Dark_Phantom, DreamyElf, Oryx, Luna, Denton, triboy, Qjon, Tarquin, Andybob, skrotos and many others who I've forgotten who helped make this a super day. Credit to all of you. :)

[Challenger #001]

Heya all - just to let you know if you're browsing and wondering what happened to Avalon today, I got pulled away for school business. But I'm on Mumble now, I've in the Avalon Lounge and I'll be hosting races in 15 mins. ^^ Hope to see you there!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Sorry I haven't been around much today chaps, I'll poke my head in a bit later tonight.

[SaturnReturn]

I tried multiple times but was never able to sign into the PSN today. :(

[leungbok]

...and many others who I've forgotten

you didn't forgot to shoot them with f****g missiles ! :lol

[Challenger #001]

Oops, sorry Leungbok. >.<

Anyway, so that's me done. Thank you to everyone who took part, who put up with my AFKs and slow race times, and my apologies when I didn't turn up for most of Friday night. Sorry to all those who I didn't get to race, those who I may have been a bit dirty with and those whom I held up in the chatboxes.

You've been great guys throughout, and I have to say that Avalon isn't the same without all of you, at whatever time of the day you get together. It proves once again why WipEout is probably one of the most precious in my game collection - because each and every one of you is in there somewhere, even if it's just a distant lap time I'll never get near. ;)

Managed to get my Qirex back to full loyalty, and moved up from rank 42 to 44. ^^ I think I got a grand total of about 8 wins over the entire event. :P Not quite a High Speed Revolution to be honest. But I had fun especially on Saturday. But I'm officially WipEd Out. xD Don't expect to see me online again until next Saturday. I'm taking a break from this. ;P

Until then, fly high everyone. And don't forget to PM kanar and DP as to whether or not I should host again, or to someone more competent.

I haven't snazzed up the links with descriptions yet, so think of this as a game of roulette - which race will each link take you to? :p

[Nutcase:259]
