[antir-heralds] lol answer to Tir Righ Re: Fwd: AquaterraSpringIthra

[James D Sena]

Stromgard feels comfortable going up against Egil's.  Sport of Kings 
would have conflicted with Adiantum's Warrior's Revel (An Adiantum 
Reserved Weekend - which doesn't mean anything to Three Mountains since 
they are in a different Conflict zone / not in The Summits), except 
Adiantum decided to not hold Warrior's Revel this year - it'll be back 
next year.  Autumn War and Acorn War directly conflict this year (And I 
suspect Acorn War will suffer - Autumn War is the weekend after Crown at 
the same site as Crown - Randle).

  Conflict Zones are supposed to help, but by and large they are to 
rigid to work.
