[terra-wrists]

Yeah, Saturday was crazy fun in those phantom rooms. Looking forward to the youtube vids kpop

Avalon was a freaking blast!! Everyone kept talking it up and getting my expectations pretty high, but all I can say is you guys undersold it!! It truly is the best gaming experience there is, there wasnt a single race that wasnt fun, all of them produced good fun and I was truly honored to have shared the track with so many legendary drivers, to name a few tarquinfarquar, novide, KGB, mad-ice, OnlyKpop, dreamyelf, ragsus, colonel_gadafi, ZothOmmog, murcielago-mlrz, azurooth, Drmannevod, and the incredible Dark_Phantom (seriously, this guy inspired me) I thank all of you for being apart of AVALON and giving this rookie the opportunity to share the track with you guys I had a blast! And also huge thanks to all of the regulars who I see on the servers throughout the week for keeping the racing alive, truly an amazing community we have here!

I had a great time in there, wanna thank you all for a great time, just to name only one: Pontiac400, this guy was hardcore, can't remember a game he didn't participate in. what kind of redbull did you drink?

I went through 12 cans of the blueberry redbull, vodka mixed in a few
my goal for Avalon was to log 24 of racing throughout the weekend, and I was able to tally up 26 total hours!! you put some pretty good hours in yourself miete, it's always a good time when your around, your a great pilot and you always make the chatroom much more fun!! And let me as soon as you get that Zone Battle uploaded!!

I expected to have fun with this and, wow! Although I suffered some nasty surprises while racing (hi Mr. Plasmafier, wherever you are)

Haha! That didn't happen on metro rev by chance did it? Because I'm guilty of a plasma elimination on that track haha

[GekkoP]

Needless to say I hope to see Avalon back soon. I'm not online a lot these days, but it was so much fun. Oh, and Dark_Phantom_89: I'll never forget that missile on Chengou Rev.

[AnErare]

It's been another mad bad blast of Avalon! I think all together we've seen 50 hours of hosting shared between us, maybe more! And so many old pilots joining in and many more new(ish)!

Cat has been with me for the whole of the weekend, sometimes even racing as well and winning! Physically it's a bit hard on her as her health is making her feel much more anxious than she normally is but she's still got it She's been a great support all weekend for me and in the chat as well To whoever doesn't know who she is, it's stinkleroy, we actually met in Avalon 5 years ago lol and now living together ;p How's that for bringing pilots together

We've realised we've been silly staying away from this game for so long, we still love this game so much and many others do. The community here is just great, it's seen it's ups and downs but it's still going! Besides, we don't know how long the servers will stay live for so we should take every opportunity we get time allowed lol

Thanks everyone for joining all the races and the chats and making this event what it is!

Btw, Blackwiggle that's a nice proposition but I think we can do better and host something sooner We'll see!

See you all around

[terra-wrists]

I popped into PSN and then chat, and saw that avalon2014 chatroom was still pumping with pilots - so I joined.

Well, by the looks of things today, avalon was extended lol. Some crazy flash races and tournaments hosted by me. Brilliant races, very violent and tough. BUt for those reasons, so much fun... and the chat was hilarious as usual.

My thumb is absolutely wrecked and I can feel my old RSI coming back, so I will have to give it a break for a few days while I recover my wrist - and let that thumb heal. One Fat Thumb

and Stin... go to sleep man, I know you're reading this

[Hellfire_WZ]

For anyone interested, the Avalon group has been reactivated if you would like to use this for any future discussion of this weekend's event or perhaps anything you'd like to see in the future

[Mietepiet]

When I drove to my work this morning, Air Force One was somewhere flying over my head. All I could think of was that poor guy Obama, didn't have an AG flight

Blagwiggle, Thank you for all the effort you put into this great stuff, and Mannjon as well for making this happen. And Hellfire for always doing a great job.

[onlykpop]

For anyone who is interested, here is an almost 2 hour long (yes 2 hours lol) video of Saturday races at Avalon from my POV. First race is a warm up. Weapon off is my forte! Enjoy

With more to come,
kpop

[terra-wrists]

y u no like embedding?

watched it on youtube... you in a triakis on chenghou LOOOL, too funny man, well played

I really want to thank everyone and mention their names(psn) here but I raced so many people over avalon that I fear I may leave someone out, and I don't wish to offend.

So, THANK YOU ALL, this was the most anticipated avalon event for me to date, and it's right up there with the best. The NEW GEN have some serious talent, and the LEGENDS haven't lost their skill at all, well maybe 1% hehe - either way, it made for some really exciting races and banter in the avalon chat rooms.

Special thanks to the hosts who spent hours upon hours keeping rooms open for pilots to jump into, amongst notifying pilots that there are slots available - frustrating work, so kudos to you guys, you are the bones and the flesh of this event, we just skinned it by being present

A special mention to Stevie or Golf champ, you're a complete champion to me mate. You kept racing even though your eyes have bags that would make prada and gucci jealous (how do you do it? and don't say "addiction to wipeout" coz I'm also an addict) seriously, you was probably the most present pilot in avalon, everytime I logged in, you was there...

...AnErare - dude, if I have to pick a host in future, it would be YOU. Such fantastic hosting, gentle banter and a generous personality which shows thru the chat and the hours you dedicated to hosting, along with the others has humbled me and added to why people love this game so much.

I hosted a flash room on Saturday and today also (strictly speaking it wasnt avalon today lol) and those were some very tough races for us all. My thumb is completely numb on the DPAD yet, when I touch the hardened skin, it feels really sore - go figure - numb on the dpad and sore to touch? How does that work? lol.

I think I overplayed this Avalon. My thumb is complete BS lol

I know I'm not the only one... y'all have my empathy, we in the same boat, paddling with one oar lol going round in circles... paddle any faster and we'll create a whirlpool and sink.

Ok, I'ma stop talking ****

[novide]

THX to all who make this great avalon-weekend possible and to the hosts.
Good to see a lot of legendary pilots again.

There was some funny connections-issues, one race i was flying as Liod19 (sry for flying bad with your name).

I hope the wohd-servers will run for a long time and next avalon will be soon.

[Liod19]

Lol novide, no worries. I don't think you are bad at racing and even if I screw it up often enough myself
Thanks to everyone who made this avalon happen, the people I raced with, the hosts and the organisers. I'm looking forward to the next one, hopefully it will happen again.

Happy flying and see you on tracks.

[Mikahail]

A little late, but it was a great week-end depsite the fact I didn't played really much. Busy, busy, busy...^^ Couldn't race with every pilot I wanted but I've had enough amount of great races to be satisfied.
2 new PRs, few podiums and great mayhems in elims (quake, bomb, quake : owch !).^^

See ya !

[Cipher]

Thanks for the races everyone, was great fun, hope to see some of you sticking around! Sorry i had to leave so suddenly on sunday evening, unexpectedly had more important matters at hand.
See you all on the track some other time

[Ragsus Maxima]

Haha! That didn't happen on metro rev by chance did it? Because I'm guilty of a plasma elimination on that track haha

No, that plasma kill was on Tech de Ra.

[ericd7]

It was great to race with you all again and i'm looking for the next one.
Thanks a lot for making this happen, hope to see you soon !

[Snakenator1]

Hold the phone guys I just remembered something cool ^_^

Long ago I played a game called Ace Combat The Belkan War which is a dogfighting game with modern day military jet fighters.
I just remembered that the second to last mission was called AVALON O.O

and here was the official song with the mission also called AVALON
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCcTMviUKWY

Its so awesome it should be the official theme for the WipeoutZone AVALON events
(obviously won't happen though, copyright laws)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Here's my video from Sunday evening

[DIXI200]

Wonderful event and many videos ... unfortunately I could not be there, the next event .. so I will have time to practice more .. practice a lot to keep leading the race ..

[blackwiggle]

The next BIG [and special ] AVALON event is already in the planning stages people.


The AVALON RACING LEAGUE [in the forums group section has been reactivated at last ] so if you were a member before you will find you can now post in this section.
Sadly previous postings [with attachments ] are long gone , so we are basically starting from scratch again, no big deal really.
This was basically the organizing committee for AVALON events, it's a Invite only group, but everybody is welcome, if you want to help out organizing a AVALON event, shoot me a PM and I'll send you a invite.
Or just look at the top of the page you are one now: Community > Groups > Avalon Racing League > look for somebody already a member and get them to invite you ... the more the merrier [we had 300+ members at one stage ], which sort of explains why the last Avalon event was so successful, nearly all attendees were past members.

OH, and by the way.
Two ex SL people said they enjoyed the last Avalon event as well [they said they were QUOTE : THRASHED badly, but enjoyed it all the same ] and were impressed that "Their Game" still held such a following and devotion.

I asked if ever a new WO were to be commissioned, would they want to be part of the team that made it?
No reply as yet.

[terra-wrists]

This is good news BW. Your hand has been guiding this event all along and we appreciate this a lot. I'd like to get involved in this, namely to help organise the flash rooms for avalon. Many phantom pilots mentioned how this speed class requires alternative lines and knowledge getting air in the most unlikely of spots to stay ahead of the other ships. It's a different kettle of fish to phantom and quite under rated.

I used to race exclusively on phantom but 3 yrs ago I got my behind handed to me in a flash race by uber legend WizardplayHD. Since then I've been racing all speeds bar phantom. And though my phantom game suffered because of this - all it took was for me to get used to the speed again and phantom was fine and dandy. In fact my love for the phantom speed has been revived this avalon and I will be entering phantom lobbies in future.

Once again thanks for all the work u put into this BW.

@HellfireWZ, the recording quality is excellent bud. My missus (oxkatnipxo) learnt this game by watching your videos and she was really excited to race in the same room as you. I've just whatsapped her the video and she's gonna watch it tonight - she told me to tell you "say thanks to hellfire for me please" so thank you for this
