[Elfsea] Re: [Bards] A Question of Timing in Elfsea

[Cathy Polakoff]

Hi there,

The five minute limit doesn't bother me too much, although there are some 
really good pieces that simply couldn't be done in that time. I'm a little 
surprised a title bard competition for a large barony is only one round, 
but like Martha said, it's probably a time constraint thing.

BTW, when is Springfaire?
