I will be hosting a special Triathlon event on
Sunday 29th August at 6:00pm BST which is approx 5:45pm Server Time. There is a
confirmed rare prize awarded to the winner of the event. I'll only say the prize is very rare, valuable, and related to movement.
Participants will need sign up by posting their account name in this thread. Alternatively you can forum, or in-game, pm me your account name.You will also need a horse in order to compete in the horse race. Please make sure you prepare a race horse for the event. If you need help getting a horse contact me or any FAQ in-game and we'll try and assist you. Boats will be provided for the participants as well as 50 cannonballs each (you'll have to bring more of your own if you think you'll need them).
Note that while Trials are permitted to sign up they will only be able to take part in the Kart Race as trial restrictions prohibit them from the other races. There will be rewards for each separate race so trials can still benefit from the event.
Event Rules
There will be three races, you'll be awarded a set number of
points based on the position you finish each race in. The winner will be the player with the most points at the end of the event.
In the event of a tie for first place all those contesting the position will take part in a 3-lap kart race to decide the victor. Your position in the race will be your overall position in the event.
1st = 10 points
2nd = 8 points
3rd = 6 points
4th = 4 points
5th = 2 points
6th+ = 0 points
Any attempt to interfere with racers will be punished. For the sake of the event i urge people not to disrupt the event as races will most likely not be re-done due to their scale. Participants should also be aware that
checkpoints and race leaders will be watched
Horse Race
Starting point: Santerrian
Checkpoint(s) (in order): Harmonia gate, Bomboria east gate, Hirithia gate
Finishing line: Tanarthia Gate
Must pass through each checkpoint by going through the gate. Your route between each gate is yours to choose. Failure to pass through them may result in race disqualification.
Kart Race
Starting point: Kart track blocks
Checkpoint(s): Complete 1 Lap around the track
Finishing Line: Cove Town bell
If you lose your kart on the way you can attempt to rejoin the race by grabbing another kart. Unsticking is not allowed.
Boat race
Starting point: Sea south of Bomboria
Checkpoint(s): Line represented by two parallel boats in CP waters
Finish line: Ship dock by Bomb trade
No sabotage until ships enter pirate waters. Once back into main waters sabotage will cease.
The key to winning is to keep your boat intact for the finishing straight.
Hijacking ships is not allowed, you'll have to return with your ship or not at all.
Winner is the first ship back to Bomboria that has crossed the checkpoint line in CP.
