August 21/22/23 -----> PS3 & PSP

Yeah yeah. I know what you think. You can't trust the guy anymore. My bad, sorry, can't recover from this wipeout virus. It's in my blood now. I'll do my best to host good sessions this time again, but to be sincere I couldn't host like I did before. Fantastic news, Cat is already up to be part of the cheeky monkeys this time again. Hope some friends could join the crew, in order to host multiple GG spots this week-end!
ooh by the way, and maybe the cherry on the cake, we'll probably launch a jointed operation with Kigo's eliminator league, we still have to talk but I'm sure it can be done. Crazy week-end on the way guys & gals!

Please Pm me for ideas/errors/suggestions, or if you think I need a break LOL

:hyper One of the best things about Avalon is the names you come up with, Kanar. Well we could say we told you so, quote ourselves etc, but in the end it`s all great news mate. Should be a Fury Avalon!!

Thanks Lunar! Cat found it lol, we hesitated between some crazy dumb names then she found that good one. And I've already the name for september LOL

Liar !

Lol mate, i knew this will happens :beer

LOL yeah, Liar. I couldn't stop like that. I love too much this game, I love too much these special week-ends where the world is racing all night long. I'll try to host some bunch of hours, not like last time, but I'm sure we could arrange multiple spots/hosts. And the eliminator league will represent too for sure.

Noooooooooooooo! *echo*

I'm working nightshifts in that weekend from friday eve until monday morning :/ No cheeky hosting business and little racing for me this time as I am already sure I will not be able to trade those with a colleague during the summer..

Kanar, since the monkeys have become an integral part of this you might as well include the crew picture Cat brought in at Endgame in the flyer ;)

Argh AnErare, baaad news. I was secretely hoping you'll be around. Damn. Hope you could at least join us a little bit at some point in the week-end anyway! nice pic addition in the fed btw lol

Damn great, Kanar! I´ll be joining for sure! :lol
Orders to be taken ...

I will do my best to be there for as often as I can.

Won't commit to hosting duties at the moment but if needed I can help with pleasure.

Really enjoyed the last one especially all the chat so will make a big effort to be there.

good to read that guys!! Silver I'm adding you to the list, and we'll see how the things run. Already 3 hot spots scheduled for this week-end, sounds great!

I'll have used up all my vacation time by the end of August, but hopefully I'll still be able to join these sessions in the evening hours. Looking forward to getting blown to bits by the pros! =)

kanar! You will never leave this arena :banzai And that is great :hyper

Haha, kanar is here with a new title once Again! So it's in about 37 days. I'm in for this. Hosting Pulse sessions! I'll try to prepare something big for the team racing!
Oh ****, joint with KIGO's league? This is just awesome! Thanks for everything, kanar! ;) See you on Pulse sessions!

Good on ya Kanar, haha. :coffee

This should work out quite nicely. Gives me a few weeks to suss out Eliminator online issues, and im praying that there are no Vista pads in online gameplay in Eliminator mode. If its like Pulse eliminator mode, then that shouldnt be too much of a trouble, because the weapon pads always stay on.

We'll talk about the time arrangements for this weekend in the close future. Alot of timezone differences that will need to be brought up also.

Also i including what OBH suggested in the Eliminator League social group of have doubles would be great, not sure how i could incorporate this into the weekend though.

Looking forward to this:)

Yes! thanks ALOT for the feedbacks guys! Arch, so glad to read you could set up a good pulse event! I'll be away from my ps3 during 2 weeks, means I'll try to practice a little on my psp by that time, in order to join you guys at some point on the handled event.

Kigo! Gooood news! yes we'll have to co-ordinate our hosts and schedule, but for sure we can set up something great all together. Oh btw, Red Bull is not forbidden in France since july 2008, cos' the french agency couldn't prove its side effects on the body. And we're using toilet paper, not fountain like our Japanese friends!

I'm recruiting ALOT of cheeky monkeys atm (host crew, keeping an eye on the record table). Feel free to pm me if you're interested. The unique objective is to offer a good game for everyone, all over the week-end.

rofl at the comments :P

I could do a sneak-peek on friday at the beginning but I'd better not ;)

Looking forward to this coming event. With having both Wipeout HD and Wipeout Pulse, as well as full weapons involved as well as no weapon involved races should not only be a great event for all Wipeoutzone, Wipeoutarena and Gamesfaqs members, but also is a great and brilliant way to promote Wipeout, and to get more new people interested in the game.

BTW thanks Kanar for that answer that was buggering the head out of me. No Red Bull available in France yet you guys still perform well in Wipeout, shiit im lost. Kaori told me this a little while ago as well. Asa didnt, i think he might be smuggling some Red Bull into the country, and maybe he's selling it between you fokes, lol. Quick bastard he was a few nights back on HD.

What's the name for this weekend? Is it still a Avalon weekend?

yes kigo, i think it's again, and "against all odds" lol, a new avalon week-end, even if i won't host like hell this time. I'm counting on a great host crew to help me in this huge task. Cat & Silverfox already signed up, hope i could bring more friends into the fury. Archman is up for the pulse part, and i'm sure the crazy Ace-flo and Alex will be around to help him. And of course, we couldn't organize a big party without the eliminator league. The more there will be people online and hot host spots, the more it will be goooood! wipeout unity FTW!

Eliminator ...hmmmm that sounds a good mission for Rapier Racer and me, i am pretty sure he or I could possibly host few batch of races, let's see how it goes with this new Fury coming soon.

Btw sorry Olivier couldn't answer your phonecall will do it now ;)

I'm so glad Avalon is back. It seems like a very long time since I was involved in one peeps... And Kanar, ofcourse Alex and I will be there to help in anyway we can. These avalon events too good to miss, and now with Pulse being released via PSN store, I'm kinda hoping more interest is generated form new pilots for these events too. The Pulse scene has been a little quiet lately, don't know why that is - it's a brilliant game!

This time for the Pulse sessions, I'm expecting interest form NightArh, (as well the usual masters of disasters) who has shown a lot of promise online, and has progressed in his gameplay at a good rate... SO get involved dude!

I normallly hate the weps off races, I'm a carnage hungry type, but had a few races Weps Off with Arch and Smad recently and they werent that bad, so yeah, sounds goooood!!!!

Asa! so good to have news from you! thx for the call! and i've already saved the phone message you guys sent me during your crazy convention last we lol. Ace! good to read you'll be around! I've one more good news too, 60/70 % sure i'll be home alone this particular aug. week-end... means hosting like hell, breaking timezones... ah ah. Apologies in advance for my baaad skills, i'll be probably out of training, not even mentioning the fury part. But i can't wait to race with you all on my beloved tech de ra! (forward lol)

to christmas and beyond! Thanks so much for the help Cat, yeah too bad AnE has to work this particular we. Hopefully silverfox just joined the crew, and we'll have probably more friends back up soon. gah, my last ps3 hour before a 2 weeks break. will be hard to survive without my wiipeout hd machine!

Always a pleasure my friend :) Won't be able to host too late into the night now that I'm living in a house with paper thin walls...but I'll carry on until the complaining starts :D

AnE will just have to quit his job....:p

Eeeeh yes and I guess you'll provide shelter and food for me then? :P

The shifts in that particular weekend were up for grabs and I took them because I've taken the following 3 weeks off and the bonus money is pretty good :P

I will claim compensation if I will be able to settle a trade ;)

Awesome, Kanar! I hope I can make it! :+

Hey L&P, hope you could make it too! And yeah AnE, quit your job please lol. Ok one more good news, Eric(d7m) just joined the host crew. So we have now 4 network solutions in the Euro zone, in theory. Hope we could balance the lag aspect with some American/Asian host spots maybe. Gah, 2 weeks away from my ps3, hopefully pure & pulse are great games lol. See you soon everyone, I'll be around from time to time during this period.

cheeky monkeys crew atm (To be confirmed) : -EURO ZONE- Kanar, Silverfox073, Stinkleroy, Ericd7m

That wont be necessary!

The one option I had available turned out to be a much favoured card trick :D
The nightshifts have respawned the weekend before and I'm the weekend off. Only obstacle is Friday eve, I have to work then but I'll arrive home around 00:30 GMT+2 to join in a bit later.

Hope you guys wont quit my job for me now! :P

Well I'm not going to quit my job, it's just getting good, but I'll certainly book a day off (because this is still better). :D

Although it's true kanar, I'll never trust you again. To think I learned nothing from all the childhood stories, shame on me.

LOL Sat, you're right, the boy who cried wolf is a great allegory! Well to be honest, and you probably know that, I tought I could calm down a little, stop the fight in the SL tables, chill and rest, playing LBP or KZ or something else... NO WAY. I'm addicted, way too much. I'm actually in honeymoon, making the trip of my life, going west, Grand Canyon, Vegas, LA, Frisco, Monument Valley, and so on... And I'm still lurking this place when there's Wifi access in the motels, torturing myself with your Fury reports! I'm addicted to WZ and WO, this is weird, crazy, but... I've just accepted it. Gah huge thunderstorm on Page, AZ now. I should turn the laptop off. I'm glad you're planning to book a day off Sat. And AnE, I'm so glad you could join the party too. I'll be right on schedule for Avalon, Icaras FTW. See you all soon friends. As i said,

Cool stuff kanar. There's a lot to do in Fury plus catching up with the frenchies, so I might even have to take a week off work. I feel like there just aren't enough hours in the day right now. How can a game take over my mind like this? It makes no sense to me, and yet it feels so right. It's good to know you're on a honeymoon and that a Wipeout addiction doesn't destroy all hope of having a normal life too. :D

You have been to Nevada, Kanar? I hope you didn`t forget to look for the NX1000 test site. I know this hasn`t happened yet but it has to be there somewhere.

You could also check out Florion Heights and look out for the remains of our zone ships ;)

Have a great time out there, that`s a holiday I would love to do one day.

:cowboy

Woop woop woop!

A joint venture with Eliminator League would be wicked, I like the idea! And I think just about everyone will after seeing this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tufArMCRkKs

Be prepared, a harsh sneer comes up at some point :g

Yeah AnE, great stuff indeed. Tried it in campaign mode, it will be pure fun! Hope Kigo or some other eliminator ownerz will be around to organize that in addition to our regular "avalon stuff" hosts.

Well... As you saw, I'm back from my trip, and OMG the return is kinda hard to deal with. Jet lag to the max; insomnia, some more side effects I won't talk about here lol... And a weird fuking hyper hand sweating problem who finished to ruin my Icaras training camp of this week. This hand sweating is probably linked to my foolish attempt to stop dope, -drug free for 20 days now, smoking TONS of ciggies to compensate, yeah that sucks, next step is cigs.- LOL, maybe I should post in the well known cannabis thread, just to say "Leungbok and wowo are my heroes" :).

I really hope I could appreciate again this game as I used to, I'm realizing now how dope changed me, how it regulated my life, my behaviour, my taste for things... like wipeout. Kinda lost atm, hope I'll regain my speed lap taste real soon. I'll do my best to be right on schedule again for this event, but I doubt to be competitive. Hopefully Yeldar just joined the fantastic host crew. "with a little help from my friends..." sounds like a Joe Cocker song lol. Anyway, with or without me, show must go on (oh 2 more song titles lol):guitar

Gah can't believe I must go back to work monday.

I used to get crazy sweaty hands playing games and playing guitar and just generally. Now I drink more water and it has helped a lot. It might not work for everyone - just a quick suggestion. :)

oh sure, thx for the suggestion, you're right Sat, too much pepsi max, not enough perrier. Bought a special lotion too, I'm confident in fixing that real soon, will be probably easier than my detox.
