Sounds to mde the only place to have a fighting tournament is in the library in the DR, spectators can line the catwalk and losers won't have far to go.
No can do... The people in there are dead, they ain't in a cheery tournament mood.
As for the lack of stands, tents and whatnot in the field... we have the bookie, beverage salesman and whatnot to keep the party going.
It is not the job of GM's to keep the event flowing, it is the job of the people, the team and myself. I think we can do it.
As a last note, The tournaments are in as much a testphase and development phase PS is in. I'll try and I'll fail. I'll learn and improve.
However... I will definitally talk with Talad and the GM-team to see if there's an IC way of doing things, but that'll make sure that Proglin's entertainment ends there. It'll become a GM event, thus "destroying" the magic of player events, which I so desperately try to stimulate

GM events are brilliant and great fun, but they're not player events. Mayhaps i'm nitpicking once more... but hey, that's what I'm here for.
