[Elfsea] Defender/PED's and the Calender

[an angel in black ink]

Greetings Elfsea!

  An excellent slew of ideas have been offered up on this topic already and I feel obliged to
  add a few of my own.  
   
  To begin, I agree that the 'quality' of events has seemed to have diminished a little over the 
  years.  Our southern and northern cousins are no longer drawn to join us in our once well 
  known revelry.  This thing has been effected by the cost of gas, yes, but the problem had 
  arisen quite a bit before we had this economical shift.  The main complaint was that 'Elfsea 
  wasn't fun enough anymore'...That, my friends, is our own fault in a way though I feel that 
  blame may be too harsh a word to place upon any of us.  It seems that we've simply 
  forgotten how to make the events more interesting by allowing ourselves to settle into our 
  current state of familiar comfort.  I have, however seen quite a few good ideas on how to 
  'shake the tree up again' out there and I commend you all for taking a new interest.
   
  I think that more single day events would be an excellent idea or even dropping Spring Faire 
  for a kingdom event but suggest an optional 'off calender' fun event to take it's place.  Singe 
  day events probably won't pull in anyone else but the locals right now anyways.  Few people 
  can afford to day trip from afar, seeing it as not worth the effort and cost.  Is there any 
  reason we couldn't simply make a greater effort and try for both?  I can promise myself to 
  the attempt once our big dumb white dragon gets out of the vet.  
   
  Forgive me if I ask too much for I may be making an unreasonable request without 
  knowledge enough to know better.
