[MR] Kingdom level event bids

[Nicholas S. Malone]

How about if a rotating schedule is made among the Baronies, for 4+
years and each is required to hold 2 kingdom events in that period.
Similar required hostings were common among British and HRE reigns. If I
know I have 1 + years to pull off an event I think I could get it done.
I know kings like to select some locations but it is not working. Of
course I would allow baronies to trade events like companies trade tax
credits etc. There is no reason this could not be made a requirement to
hold any active status barony.  This would not preclude Shires and
colleges from doing Kingdom events and would settle planning issues well
in advance.  This sort of thing is done by other national and regional
organizations to schedule qualifying matches and such and is a time and
cost burden equally spread over the course of time.

There that ought to get a few feather's ruffled.
