- I agree with you about the atmosphere, everyone is keyed up at crown
- tourney. Even the artisans are on edge becasue the Kingdom A&S
- competions are held on the same day or the day after. The size of a
- crown tourney also stretches the resources of the host group to the
- limit, meaning that all of the autocrat and cooking staff are even more
- stressed out than normal. I'd never go out of my way to see crown. The
- only people who go are people who have business there.
