Calling all HD/Pulse Warriors:
Kanar has done it again - The insane crazy Pilot has seen to it that our Gaming Thumbs will be flatter than ever before... But, are we complaining? Are we ****!!!

This is the reason why we all compete - why we all wanna push the boundaries, get to the edge, and take the plunge into an experience not easily forgotten, and more often than not - fondly (if a little shakily) remembered...

These tournaments on HD and Pulse do come with warnings:

1: Be prepared for Long Long - (I gotta stress this / Stinkleroy mentions in one of her posts that she was online for 9 hours) - Long hours of very very intense Piloting action.

2: Be preapared for eye strain - keep your eyedrops handy, you'll thank your fore sight for this.

3: Make sure you have fed/watered yourself adequately enough, as during racing time - you won't wanna move from your cockpit.

4: Be prepared for Chronic Adrenal Release - All Pilots who partake in Avalon will have excessive amounts of adrenal depletion, which leads to the creation of - get this - Creatine (the same substance sporting professionals take to boost their performance)

5: Mobile Phones and communication devices - it is advised you let Family and Friends know of your AG competition - Having to answer phonecalls and the like during gameplay is a definitie no no - and can make your racing lines suffer.

6: Take care of all matters pertaining to the disturbance of your experience - Avalon is not just a competition - it is a sacred trust between wipers across this planet - our one unifying bond which allows us to experience each others passion for the game, through active organized competition.

7: This legacy which Kanar has so kindly, and selflessly given to us, is a place of extreme violence and competition - this is not an easy racing format to master - it takes courage, will power and extreme dedication to the sport. Eliminations are common, and all who enter - enter knowing that this is a possibilty.

8: Practice: It is advised that one gets plenty of practice beforehand - this is pretty self explanatory - we don't wanna hear excuses about why such and such's piloting skill was not up to standard due to lack of practice - I personally suffered very badly due to my lack of practice leading up to the May Day events - so I'm living proof of this statement... I won't be making the same mistake twice!

9: Respect - for eachother, we are all in the same boat - paddling in the same direction - these tournaments ensure the longevity of these formats and furthermore - help to ensure that future titles stay in the pipeline. Kanar created a scene which has turned into a worldwide legacy, something we can all be proud of - so respect each other, be kind to each toher - we are family... But on track, it's another story... That is where we battle it out - this is, in my opinion - the NEW sport of Kings (and Queens)!

10: Enjoy: these events are meant to enhance our enjoyment of the game - and they do. In all my years of Piloting history - I can honestly say, I have never enjoyed competitive racing as much as I did over the Avalon May Day events. It was my first experience of Avalon - and I kick myself for not knowing about it earlier...

That said: I wish to say one thing more only - I'm so in!!! Let AfterShock commence... Thank you so much Sir Kanar!
