avalon/MAGEC : Jan. 09/10/11 Featuring Asayyeah & kaori

[Darkdrium777]

Yes it is because of internet connection. Sometimes I'm lucky, like yesterday, where ships generally follow a good line (Which is what I taped), but today all the ships were flying as a scrambled mass I couldn't get through, and once that mass caught up with me, that usually meant I was going to fall back to the back.

[rdmx]

Sometimes I get knocked around too, it's not just connection speed to blame. It's the lag correction that the game uses combined with high ping.

[Darkdrium777]

Your connection is much faster than mine. I get knocked around all the time.

[rdmx]

I was trying to say that even with a decent connection, I still get knocked around

[blackwiggle]

Are you telling me this is down to Internet connection speeds because I nearly quit too last night as i was sick of being clipped by someone, resulting in me going from first to last in seconds. Every time I came into contact with another craft i was the one coming worse off, and I mean every time.

I wouldn't blame connection speed for getting clipped,hell that happened to me today by Asayyeah, just the merest touch at the very moment I was using a boost on ubermall.....went flying into the arches,respawned and everybody had overtaken me,so that was that race down the toilet.

What's happening is that when racing against fellow forum members in Avalon or the like,we are all pretty much in the upper league of wipeout players world wide,so if something happens to you while racing your going to get overtaken by everybody, and the chances of catching up on any of this lot is going to be pretty remote, unless of course if something happens to somebody else and they get knocked back as well.
You have a bit more of a fighting chance in a weapons race [depends on luck with pick ups]but not that much more.

[djKyoto]

I get bashed around all the time, GTP threw me into a tower block on Metropia Reverse, I usually get the worst of it, but I just put up with it, hey nothing I can do about it.

I tend to fix this problem by being out infront.

[Danterich]

hey whata freakin´f+++in´awesome weekend ! Tank you all for this great event, especially the hosts. It´s like the dream of a little 2097y wiperboy has come true I hope for more 2day.
Yes, staying ON track is an additional challenge in Avalon. For me it helps, at least sometimes, pitching down mooore often.
And laggy internet-connection is frustrating. I feel with you guys. C ya on tracks !!!

[KGB]

Someone should explain to me why internet connection speeds affect the out come of a collision but maybe in a different thread, all i know was that i was getting bashed about by every ship going and it seemed more than just bad luck or piloting skill.

Anyway thanks a lot Kanar, Asayyeah and Kaori for hosting loads of great races, your maybe all in bed still, what time are we starting today?

PS My son Louie says hello too

[Asayyeah]

Ahhhh Louie is your son ! now i get it
Just a question mate : why do you put Louie into a flight to Honk Kong ( hong kong flag he owns) is there a Kid Acedemy Magec agency in Hong Kong?

Cheeky blighter :O the new generation is knocking at the Elite door

About the Avalon league , we are already in host configuration today with Kaori racing against WZ pilots.

Don't worry guys for the ship collisions, even it's frustrating most of the time seeing his ship going 90° and rammed into a wall ( mag strip for instance) the FUN being together browsing all the time zones from New Zeland to USA is more important.

Kaori is leaving Nîmes today around 4 pm and me around 7pm : we shall have 1 or 2 weeks to recover from that helluvah Avalon weekend

[KGB]

Louie was in bed as all 7yr olds should be at 3am.

I used his name to set up a Hong Kong account ages ago and was looking on their Store, then i thought "one little go on wipeout SL", then "ill see who's online", had a little go on Rapier which was a bit boring, so i then saw your name and thought "why not".

I don't make a habit of doing that but i seemed to do better under a different identity with a different ship ( I can sense a change of craft coming on).

Ill Maybe introduce you to my 2yr old today Asa, He's based in the U.S.A.

[SaturnReturn]

hey whata freakin´f+++in´awesome weekend ! !!!

Ditto! Avalon has to be the best thing ever. I find I get smacked about a lot, especially if some of my lines through the corners aren't that great. But trying to claw your way back into the fray after this happens is just another kind of fun. Except on Sol2, get knocked off that track and there's no come back for me.

Anyway, thanks to the hosts and to this awesome community. Great to see such good natured competition.

[guillaume]

Hey there!

I don't know if I'll make it this afternoon, but is there a time where you guys will probably be flying? or is it too late?

[kanar]

.... Awesome here... Blast... those 2 guys are incredible lol... AND TO ALL OF YOU GUYS : A HUGE THANKS FOR COMING. keep playing 'til 16h00 GMT (kaori's train) non-stop!!!
sorry for not reporting too much here, I simply can't lol. more later

[RJ O'Connell]

*sigh*

Never had a chance to get on the PS3 all weekend...:\

[kaori]

Yeah! Great week-end at kanar's place. I met him for the first time, after 6 month to speak with him on the WipEout arEna chatbox, he is a fantastic guy & player. This week-end was too short for me, and probably for him & Asayyeah. Asayyeah has not changed, he stay the same extraordinary guy. I really love this two guys.
I lived inside of avalon, very intense experience!
I hope everyone had fun this week-end, on our side, it was too cool!
I never saw so many good players!
Hard to select the bling brigade!!! Good luck kanar for that.
I want to thank kgb1971 / louie2001, you are too funny man.
Wellington86, you are the best player, the most incredible! I am sure you can break 1.45.00 on Sol 2 R. But you aren't alone! Luxoflux, incredible time on Moa Therma! Mad-Ice always present! (when a team to the Netherlands?). TheFrostE & haydn, yeah, too fast! Team ANZAC, with djKyoto, trendf, Kigo & blackwiggle (Congratulations to your enormous progress). The french connection : kingheim, Wotan, leungbok, pirhapac (please help him to get Bling Brigade trophy ). emwu23 who has played longer than us!
I add some new players I've never seen before this week-end, yalder2097 & SaturnReturn & Daguet_Rapide
I stop there quotes, because I will probably forget a lot of people, but you're in a corner of my head, I will find you well in other online races later: D

[eLhabib]

Wasn't able to connect to the servers for the whole weekend :- Catch ya next time folks!

[feisar rocket]

do u hav a psn acount and wipeout pulse

[eLhabib]

??? yes, of course I have a psn account, and no, I don't have wipEout Pulse - what would I need that for?

[djKyoto]

Good fun, it seems that Sebenco Climb is quite firmly my home turf.

Blackwiggle - You've been practising, keep it up.

[kanar]

We missed you RJO’, Elhabib… Hope to race you soon!!! Yeah this week-end was freakin’ awesome. I’ve a thought for all the pilots who encoutered this awful lag/bashed/respawn/DNF problem, probably increased by our 2 host multiplex. Can’t wait for optic fiber for all. I’ve a thought for Mad-Ice too, hope you recovered mate. We missed you SO MUCH (lol Kaori couldn’t imagine an Avalon without you). Now, here’s a try to report what I could call “a special week-end”

I’ve never met Asa & Kaori. But I already knew these 2 were nice guys. And absolute, crazy, freakin’ wipeout addicts. After a short 2 hours warm-up alone, I quickly understood that some wipers here in the zone completely achieved their MAGEC formation (not like me). It ended with a nice chenghou reverse psn freeze, right on time to pick up Asa at the train station. When he saw me with my Icaras sweat he immediately hugged me. “Kanar!” he said. LOL. I was dreamin’. The virtual “WOW” (World Of Wipeout) suddenly appeared right in front of me. One of my wipeout heroes, was here with me. From that moment, and I really want to apologize to all of you guys, the Avalon “protocoles” completely disappeared out of my mind. I just enjoyed that week-end, despite the fact I’m living in a f-----g place (like you Kigo), with f-----g freaky neighbours featuring f-----g car-jackers, so I was obliged to bunkarize my friends. More, my actual place is so small that it looks like a cave. Can’t wait to move from that s—t. I’m actually living a difficult period in my real life, you 2 guys had contributed to heal my wounds. Back to topic. The first night was already awesome, & freakin’ fast, We truly passed the night in the Matrix. All the parameters were reunited to disconnect from the real world. We raced with aliens the whole night. And for the first time, I had an alien with me too. We passed a huge time talking together about Wipeout, & the zone… Sorry we totally f----d up with the schedule, we almost never answered to our psn messages… We said really weird stuffs in the headset, with our awful English… And it was even worse with Kaori’s arrival. What a nice guy too. We definitely not spent enough time together. With Kaori, I had the weird feeling to see myself, 10 years ago. Anyway. So, 3 aliens in the same room. What a chaotic Avalon event, but definitely my best wipeout moments ever. I really hope some of you guys have recorded some of the races, I completely f----d up with that too, I was unable to make videos. Yeah I really suck. I would like to thank all the zoners who stayed with us the entire week-end, there’s no words to describe what happened here –and online-. I’ve edited my first post. To the question : “so… how was the competition guys”, we can say Wellington was awesome. But he wasn’t alone, & that’s freakin’ awesome too : after 3 months, there’s a real army of superfast phantom pilots. I definitely couldn’t restrict myself to only 2 bling brigades. I must stop now. 2pm here, I must disconnect myself from this fantastic universe. I love you guys. Asa, Kaori, the Zoners… Thanks a lot.
