Greetings Elfsea!
*Climbs upon an unmarked soup box*
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.
