I like the idea Ben very good
Re: [Idea]Triathlon - Ben - 12-28-2007
Also an idea for the prize, just a base line idea.
Sign up fee : $5000
3rd Place : $200
2nd Place : $1000
1st Place : $6000 [So they actually gain something from their entrance fee]

It's an interesting idea in my opinion.
I think the players will like it -- as long as there's more than one person doing it.
Though for some reason, I can never swim well.
Maybe it's bad luck, or a character stat -- but other players swim much faster than me for some reason.

What system sounds familiar?

Re: [Idea]Triathlon - Ben - 12-28-2007
Really?, i could swear i got that off the top of my head...
anyways, im starting to have doubts about my idea, i like the triathlon idea, but the track doesnt look to appealing, what are other management members comments on this?
Re: [Idea]Triathlon - Fry - 12-28-2007
One very important thing about brainstorming ideas, especially horrible ones, is that it's simply a guideline -- a thought provoking thought, in a sense.
The developers/management might not make it exactly as you thought of it, but if they like it, they'll probably keep the same basics. A triathalon. Three segments. There's many ways to do it
Your track idea is very good.
There might not be other places on the map that combine all three elements in such a way that each is equally balanced to give the players a challenge, but not too much to bore them.
Good luck!

(I almost always have it on in SAMP.) Another option if you want to keep the limiter off because of a nice smooth high framerate is to dip the camera below the surface of the water; that seems to help as well, but you have to hold it there.
Back on topic, I like this idea so long as the course is short enough that it wouldn't become tedious; the original suggestion looks like it's short enough but I haven't actually tried it out yet. As Nooblet mentioned, though, biking is normally the second piece.
