Just got my Pale (MK Kingdom newsletter). Reading through the various letters, it seems that Fall Crown will be invite only.

O.o

OK, first, very glad we changed our minds and plans about a number of things recently. Or I'd be really PO'd.

But one wonders what they're thinking.

Well, probably they're thinking that they can "up the quality" of the candidates. One recent example has peeved a lot of people. But, frankly, their are just as many a**holes and douchebags IN the Chiv as outside it.

And, given the recent atmosphere that at least implies a lot of cronyism and has generated accusations of attempts to fix Crown, does this really seem like a bright idea?

I await the shrieks of outrage and yowls about Peers trying to make sure they control ALL routes to the Peerage. And there will be justice in them.

They're probably also thinking that making Crown Tourney "Special" again, by making it invite-only will inspire more people to fight and again, up the quality level.

Nobody is taking into account the economy and how that affects decisions to fight.

It smacks of trying to fix the wrong problem and I predict much angst and flaming.
