[MR] Event Bids and Driving Distances

[polearmed at nc.rr.com]

This might surprise some of you, but I am all for the extra layer of hierarchy and would rather see two principalities(north/south).  What I would not like to see is any Principality Law.  Princely law would be simple whim of the Prince and Princess.  Investitures would be so much easier on the Royals, and the fighting community would flourish since the Principalities could be rivals.  We would all attend more local and smaller events.  Kingdom events wouldn't change that much, I do not believe, nor would it solve the problem of receiving only one bid and then extending the deadline to demand a second choice.

All for it if the kingdom remains in tact, so first Princey to go kingdom is a whiney little turd.
