Yes but you cannot ICly have both at the same place. And you can put one after the other. Because if you have them together at the same time the Market will be pretty darn barren. And if you have them one after the other the turnout will be more or less even for both events. So... What the hell did you mean in your post ?
I meant just the opposite, obviously.
Festivals are, and should be, messy. And each event draws people to the other. In short, you cannot ICly have them far away from each other. It only makes sense for mechanical reasons. As for dragging a crowd from one place to another, eh eh...
(...) placing it around a mage is frankly... Idiotic. This event is a market\tournament. So why would Levrus be interested in being bothered with that.
Hydlaa's wizards (NPCs) are organised and have interactions and conflicts. A magic event which doesn't involve at least one of them isn't the best fit in the setting. Honour guest, any? A social event usually tries to include the highest personality it can. If you can drag along one of Hydlaa's archmages, that's prestige.
No, we don't agree on Levrus. You agree on Levrus. You say yourself that he is a merchant, as well as a mage. As a matter of fact, he is The merchant in magic. And reasons to be outside of town are plenty. Yet, every mage or would-be mage frequently goes to his tower.
For the comparison between the ridge and Hydlaa East, I won't argue for the sake of arguing. I'll only point out the advantage of the latter: a different map than the plaza, if avoiding lag is to be considered.
I realize i come off as annoyed. Don't take it personally.
Darn! I wanted to. Ok, then.
But I fail to understand how you reach any of your conclusions.
I don't promote any place. From people previous posts, I merely note 2 broad and early options here:
- either a frequented place, with the risk of lag and noise
- or a quieter, more manageable place, but with lesser or none accidental participation. That's ok, with enough IG advertising, remembering that many people do not check this forum.
Maybe you could estimate the number of stalls in your market before choosing a spot. With 4, you can put them pretty much everywhere. With 20, they can form a large circle and have the duels in the middle (and that's just an example).
