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

That is my reading week, can't say if I will be doing anything with the family but if I'm not then I will for sure make it.
Judging by the title of the tournament, will this be the last Avalon?
No mate, Dark_phantom is maintening the league now, I had no more time to keep organizing these events. Hopefully Dark_phantom accepted to handle this. I just changed the pic today, because of this black friday.
appropriate :) Black Friday... that's gonna stick mate! Good one! :D
Hey guys, despite the bad news today, we've still got a scene. Now I really have to give Kanar big respect because at times like this when Black Friday hit us with a low blow, Avalon seems to shine a ray of hope for the future (pending online games server being left on) of this format... as long as we show an interest, and attend online events such as avalon, and get actively involved the newly formed Xpand League for TEAM RACING, or just go online regular to race - someone out there with a large wad of wonga will see an opportunity to rekindle wipEout. And before we know it, we could have WipeOut HD Fury II ... yeah yeah, I'm an optimist, someone has to be!
The future is euro? whatever mate... We are the future of this format. We let it die... it dies! end of! ;)
True mate ! Members here acts like if someone had removed wohd from their ps3 :D WE ARE MAKING THE INTEREST OF PLAYING WOHD !! Not sony, not SL, US, THE FANS. And events like avalon are doing that perfectly ! ;)Quote:

OK, so to celebrate WipEout for its unifying force between an international community, today between midnight and 1am GMT I will host an avalon type event, in the form of a tourney (6 races then break) with weps on and off... I request that all who read this try and attend. Furthermore, if the room does by chance become full (hopefully), you can start your own room in the same format - that way, anyone who cant get in to my room, can see another in similiar format and join... remember, this is for us, to celebrate wipEout!
We shall ride the currents
without regret
with no remorse, and no revenge
just recompense
Ride to race, not for place
remember why
we ride on high
(ok, it was an inspired moment, my buzz has worn off - time to roll another one) :lol
You're so right Ace & Leung...
I believe one of the best thing we all can do to thank & support Studio Liverpool right now is to play online. Like we never did before. I'm a speed lapper from the start, I always prefered to play offline & work my lines, brs and so on. But today I think I must show to those Sony bastards how much I love this game, and the best way is to BURN their servers to death. So...
DECEPTICONS... MOBILIZE!!!
ACE, that poem is not too shabby. Nice work. :)
Thank you, Lance :) :) Mate, I don't mind admitting something here - I had a tear welling up whilst I wrote that... I also ended up playing til 4am - right up til my neck gave in...
I rode on high until I just couldn't anymore! :rock
DAMIT!!! i never look in the arena and just now i remember wanting to take part in pulse torny......DAMIT!!!
Hope you could attend to this pulse session mate, MrSmadSmartAlex will confirm soon the schedule. Kaori will join you guys too for sure. We'll arrange a Pure session too, through Ad Hoc Party, and like with Pulse we'll confirm the schedule and which ad hoc & Pure version we'll use for that in the next few days. -9! Need to fill my fridge with Red Bull ah ah

Count me in! I will be around that whole weekend (aside from Saturday night)! Can't wait! :hyper
good to know you'll join us L&P, that's going to be freakin awesome with my two friends at home, with 2 ps3s plugged in online. Regarding the competition, TorquedSoul proposed me to calculate Elo scores for each racing result we could record, that's why I added "Elo recordings" near the names of the hosts who's going to record the results, in the first post. Oh btw, MrSmadSmartAlex confirmed the pulse session for saturday, feb. 20, 18h00 GMT. Hope you guys could join him for another amazing handled tournament!
Kingdom of Heaven, here we come! -despite my lack of practice lol-

Great move kanar. Appreciation for Studio Liverpool in these harder times much welcomed I am certain.
If only I could play in this, but impossible. Good luck to everyone and to the makers of the game as well.
The complementory videos will come from me if there's a room with 8 zoners in ;)
Glad you could join us PS! Damn drell, sad to read you don't have wifi, would have been cool to race you next week-end.
good stuff DP! And we'll try to shoot some here at the bunker, and maybe we'll do some victory dances too lol; the legend of the drunken avalonians XD!

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

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

i'll be your favourite Saracen, Kanar, :) the Saracen for the skies... all I need now is to ditch my trusty Fury Spec AG-SYSTEMS, and get me a MEDI-EVIL ship, ala PURE FX300 :g and i'm set :D
I might be able to borrow an HD camcorder btw, lets's hope I do... ELO rankings are a good idea, big up Torqued Soul fer dat :rock
Sweet, bar some sort of natural disaster ill be able to participate for at least 2 of the 3 days!
A new bad joke by Sony :turd : http://community.eu.playstation.com/...10133301#M1767 :turd
I can't find the english version of this thread, but I think translation is useless ! The servers of WipEout HD & Pulse will be down saturday from 9.00 to 21.00 GMT :bomb
Plus, they confuse Pure & Pulse...
I have replied them :turd ... I encourage you to complain too !
Gah, just can say nooooo! in music... Be sure friday will be a long, long day then. We'll probably skip the regular bed time, and wait for the maintenance to sleep a little. Then we'll try to arrange a huge Pure/pulse meeting through ad hoc party, if it's possible and if some people are interested. Then we'll come back to hd online right after their dumb maintenance, for the second part of the competition! (and again, delayed bedtime ah ah).
I was wondering too, maybe we could try to go online through our foreign second accounts, and escape this regional maintenance; I dunno if it's possible, but we'll check that.
Great idea with Adhoc Party for Pulse, but you'd have to get somebody else to host as I don't have a PS3. ;)
How is Pulse on Adhoc Party btw? Any smoother/less buggy than the infrastructure mode?
MrSmadSmartAlex, do you think you can host friday or sunday, cos' ad hoc party isn't as good as the psn servers, and as you, not everyone has a ps3. We'll try an ad hoc party pure session saturday, and I'm saying "we'll try" cos' we're going to host like hell all friday night 'til their ****in maintenance scheduled for sat, 10h00 gmt+1. Gah just back from the Nordic Sessions, OMG that was sooo awesome lol.
It's you who were the Special Guest Star ^^
I finished 2nd behind O_BR mate!! that was AWESOME, despite the fkin psn disco, big thanks to Golgo, DrMannevond, JJPAP, Fabimus, Mik-dk, Zoth and of course O_BR! that was a fantastic night, a fantastic warm up before next week-end and our longest wipeout day ever, from friday afternoon 'til saturday 10h eh eh!
OK, I can move it to Sunday 19:00 GMT. ;)
yes, great stuff mate, and as far as I know, it's your regular weekly session lol. So we'll try some pure saturday, if we're not exhausted, through ad hoc (probably the jap one). We'll confirm that soon. gah should go to bed now!

What a bunch of fools at Sony France for doing a server maintenance on a Saturday.:dizzy:frown::-:turd:brickwall ,and out for 12 hours as well.
Off with their heads!
They always schedule it on a Wednesday /Thursday everywhere else.
glug glug, pilot r&r i guess... NOT! Sony doing it on purpose lol
yep guys this is really a ludicrous situation, weird move of Sony Europe. As I said we'll skip the bedtime lol, and we'll try to escape this maintenance with our foreign second accounts, not sure it works but who knows.

Just checked. The maintenance is announced on the scandinavian PS forums as well. Damn. Must be one hell of a patchupdate, since they need 10 hours to complete it...!
(oh, Kanar, it was a nice surprise to see you at the Team Nordic lair yesterday :) )
The pleasure was mine mic, really enjoyed that night with all of you guys (maybe cos' I surprisingly did well too lol). Big thanks again for inviting me. Nordic Session is an awesome competition, not even mentioning the great times we spent in the chatbox too. We should organize the same kind of stuff with my French mates each sunday, some kind of French connection lol.

Hi Kanar
Will try my hardest to make this avalon event.
I have been playing again recently for the first time in a long time.
I won't embarrass myself at phantom speed yet as it just feels too damn fast but slowly re-learning all the tracks at flash and rapier.
I know I can't make Friday night as I'm in a PES competition but will do my best to make some races on the Saturday and Sunday.
Hope to see you soon, Foxy
Damn PSN maintenance :-
Still, Avalon will still be great :D
Foxy! so good to know you're back to wipeout! Noticed TearsToShreds was back too, really glad to see old wz friends back in the zone; as I said competition will begin thursday in the night (23h00 gmt to friday morning 04/05h00), then I'll sleep a lil' lol, and I'll put my wife in a train friday morning ah ah, then I'll pick up kao 2 hours later at the railway station (what an exchange lol)... Wotan will arrive by car around 12h00; and we'll be up for some crazy hosting from 13h00 to saturday 9h00! Good Luck in your PES competition mate, hope to see you saturday night, just after the psn maintenance, 21h00, 'til sunday afternoon. Oh yeah DP89, this avalon will be good I'm sure, despite this dumb but necessary maintenance. These psn disconnections are a nightmare for everyone.

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