Quite a few interest through Facebook wanting to play Pure Pulse sessions today :) I will let you know the outcome or Mad-Ice might arrange?
stevie:)
I've just posted a list of hosts for the event.
And clarified the few racing rules for AVALON for those who have never attended one before.
Since most available for hosting duties are all living in pretty much the same timezone, and that we have roughly half the amount of hosts that old AVALON events could get together, I just went through the posts in this thread and listed peoples availability.
After mulling it over, I didn't think it would go down too well if I were to try and enforce some sort of hosting roster upon people, I've left it loose.
The success of this AVALON event will be up to you people out there who love the game.
What I think would be cool is if we used this thread over the weekend to announce who is hosting at any particular time.
We tended to do that with previously AVALON events anyway, so I know it works.
If somebody who is hosting needs a break they can just announce it in the chatroom [and / or here] and get somebody else [preferably to somebody who is on the hosting list on the first page] to agree to take over hosting duties, then post the change of host in this thread so everybody knows what's happening.
Same thing if you are hosting, and want to request somebody take over from you at a certain time.
Any questions or requests?
Right, I'm off to check that Sony isn't planning any PSN maintenance over AVALON the weekend
This sounds like great fun and i'd love to join in :)
It will be my first avalon but i read through this thread and think that i have a grasp of whats happening. I am happy to host or be on the host roster if you need an extra one.
psn ID - idloveacupoft
T/Z - GMT+0
Available anytime (except 21:00 - 02:00 GMT+0 on friday and saturday night)
Is there anyway we can only participate on certain days? I'm only available on Friday and Sunday as I am seeing my Girlfriend on Saturday, so my schedule is a bit all over the place at the moment.
So far I'm available
Friday GMT 4pm - 11pm
Saturday GMT 3pm - 9pm
I really want to participate but this is my schedule right now so please tell me if I can miss out Saturday and still participate like this.
lol I think you young guns are taking avalon a little bit too seriously it's a free for all participants whenever, whereever, just join in and have a laugh really. we compete but we compete for fun... well a little bit of glory and status too I suppose but the main thrust is just to enjoy the community and share a few laughs over the thing that brought us all here.
Also BW you can put me down for some hosting duties, no set times though, I'll host as much as I can over the weekend though.
gmt+1 is my timezone.
I can attest to your hosting - I never got the chance to thank you for hosting last nights flash room, excellent selection of tracks and timing between races. Room packed up nicely also. Was a bit like avalon warm up when I think about it :)
Cheers. :+

The way it will probably pan out, hopefully [?] ....... well the way it used to pan out was, those at GMT started the AVALON event off and as it got later those in say the USA or anywhere else at -5/-6 GMT started to take over hosting, then those at -10 or +10 started taking over from them, then the UK/French/Dutch started coming back racing again...... that's how it could run continuously for several days.
Sadly we have very few pilots in timezones other than +/- 1 or 2 GMT this AVALON event, so it will be interesting to see how well it goes overall.
I sort of expect a huge surge on the online boards for the first 5 to 6 hours, then slowly tapering off for a while, then a surge again as we pass through the various timezones.
We always used to have a few IRON THUMBS, who played for stretches of 12+ hours at a time :dizzy
If you can host at all that's great, but just turn up when it suits you, and if you are asked to takeover hosting duties and you can, well great, if you can't that's OK too.
How do we tackle the 16limit chatbox restriction?
Do we make a special thread on here and have each host have a psn chatbox?
I don't want to be a part of Avalon, that's all I like to say.
why is that kronic? we'd love to have you mate.
If ALovelyLilith is going to be at Avalon I'm out.
@Kronic - I only ever respond or make a comment to you whenever you start to stir up drama. You can keep sending me messages but don't expect a response...
You are welcome to race just like anyone is, but if you try and start s**t with Lilith again I will make sure to exclude you from any room I am hosting. She is a lovely young girl who I have met through the WO community and a friend. There is no room for posts like " If ALovelyLilith is going to be at Avalon I am out."
I only know you as "bad news", so please try to change my perspective and stop singling people out. You and Lilith drama is history. History stays in the past. Lets keep it that way.
I'm done, tell the admin to delete my WZ account. I'm sorry.
Well when you try to join the chatroom it will tell you how many participants it has already.Quote:

So any spill over from the AVALON2014 just start a AVALONIANS chatroom, send a invite to those you know are in the other one and want to communicate with, and if they accept the invite they will still be able to read your messages coming up on the right side of the screen, as well as the original chatroom.
If that second chatroom fills up start a AVALONIAUTS or AVALONATICS [whatever you want to call it - actually those who wish to race AVALON at slower speed classes might consider using one of those names ]
I only see a chatroom lock out problem over the first 5-10 hours of Friday, people will join, race for a while, leave, then return again a few hours later, so I suspect there shouldn't be that much of a problem.
Saturday ...mumm, don't know .... I think we should get by ... then again, that's when I suspect some of the Old Legends to make appearance on mass, as most will probably just drop in after work on a Friday to test the waters, then have the weekend off work and kick butt on the track Sat/Sun
I'm able to host anytime that I'm playing :)
Thanks mate :)Quote:

Has anyone got a hi-res version of the Avalon logo? Planning on putting something together to go on the FB/Twitter pages and the largest one I can find is is about 250x250.
Il b around this sunday. Busy satday though booooo!
I suppose either Leungbok or Kaori would be your best bet.Quote:

Sweet, I'll pop them a PM.
Yes I like to be a part of Avalon, but I don't want to because of one person. ALovelyLilith. If anyone wants to talk bad about me, I'll tell the admin to delete my WZ account and that is final.
As far as the Wipeoutzone goes, if their is any personal attacks the moderators give out a warning, temporary barring from posting or in extreme cases complete banning from the forum.
If it's abuse over the PSN, well use the block feature [I have a few pests on my block list] it works fine.
If abuse continues under another PSNID, well report it to Sony, which you can do via your PS3 or more directly via a official Sony Playstation forum.
It seems strange to me that you are letting one person cause you so much distress, by letting then get to you so badly that it makes you want to give up doing something you enjoy, that's racing HD/FURY.
Personally if it was me I'd be thinking to myself, F*)% Y#$, I'm not going to let you stop me from enjoying racing, blocking them on the PSN, and racing away to my hearts content.
Try laughing it off, you will in years to come when you look back and see how trivial the whole thing is in the big scheme of life.
@Blackwiggle there is literally no point trying to talk any sense to him, trust me I tried. Not going to discuss it over the forum though. Aaaanyways, back on topic here. I have this weekend free so I will 100% be playing. I miss having a good online session.
All anybody has to do is contact somebody else.Quote:

A reminder to everyone, if something comes up before the weekend, I won't be able to join on this.
Got my schedule booked in for Friday and Saturday, nothing but pure AVALON action these two days. Ready for the action, me and my FEISAR are good to go :D
mannjon: Awesome. Here's a link to the thread with the image I'm referring to, it's the biggest one I can find.
http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/sho...ghlight=avalon
And KR, I've no plans to see anyone excluded from this meet-up over personal disagreements that have happened off-site unless they have been so severe to have also merited action on this forum. Beyond posts that I have directly dealt with, I have not received any notifications or reports from anyone so it seems this is not the case. Lilith will be there. What you do is up to you, just join a different chatroom and lobby to Lilith and you'll never have to come into contact - problem solved.
Everyone else, whether he joins or not is down to him and him alone. Let's move on.
^^ Amen haha good problem solution there ;)
I was about to say what is @KronicReaper's problem with @ALovelyLilith, but since @Hellfire_WZ solved the issue, I'm not going to bother asking the question.
That's ok with me. issue resolved.
I'm in!
PSN: keg_11
GMT +11 (Aust. Eastern Daylight)
Host: when online, not between 1PM - 9PM GMT (12AM - 8AM AEDT)
btw, the records on the 1st post, are they up to date?Quote:

Can't make any promises for Saturday afternoon / evening, but on Sunday I'll be on from 2.00pm til the end.
I'll be using my Colonel__Gaddafi account. See you all there, can't wait :)
I don't know if I will be around for the very beginning of Avalon [it will be 8am Sat morning my time], as I won't finish work till late tonight and I have certain chores I would like to get out of the way beforehand so I can sit down and race uninterrupted.
So if I'm not about by all means somebody start the event off.
I suspect there will be more than a few putting in a few practice races before the start, Wotan and KGB1971 said they will probably turn up for the beginning sessions
Hi I'm new here. :D
There will be a volunteer to do some livestream :) would be fun to see how fly the best!
welcome to the forum PB and welcome to avalon. If you have any questions about what the best are doing I'm sure they will be glad to answer, other than that good to have ya and enjoy the ride.
