<div dir="ltr" align="left"><span><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial" size="2">I have to agree with Grimolfr's comments. As long as
Northkeep is using this style of competition, I, too, will not compete.
All too often, I've been the one who is too polite to say "no". And,
frankly, I'd rather judge one bardic competition than 30 throughout the
day. </font></span></div>

competition and who isn't. Are they available right now for a
"bout"? Can we find a judge? One we'll agree on?

<br> Not every bard will like every style of competition. Some bards don't like competitions of any kind. <br><br>Robert<br></div><br></div><br>-- <br>"If you haven't found something strange during the day, it hasn't been much of a day." John A. Wheeler
