Actually, it could also be turned into the most marvellous A&S free-for-all 
ever!!  Just think -- people vying to create the most beautiful things 
possible, in hopes of catching the eye of their own monarchs firstly, who 
might then choose the item as part of the trove to be given away to other 
kingdoms! All in the name of making it possible for one's own kingdom to be 
named the most generous, most hospitable, most friendly .... 

What a great way it would be, to foster good border relations and have a good 
time, and make or do neat new stuff, all at the same time!!!

But yes, it would take a lot of planning .... 

But we could do it ....

It's worth a dream, isn't it?
