I think both suggestions have a lot of merit.<br/><br/>I think Artemis' suggestions should be implemented but the risk to the rest of the city is awfully high and a few riots, unjustified killings, rapes, and whatever else is a very quick way to have the people turn against the Emperor, nobility, and champions.  On the other hand, this could be a very good sub plot or turn of events for the story.<br/><br/>An imperial legion, or two, pulled in to help support the City Guard could work along with Irish's suggestions.<br/><br/>Really just talking since little of this matters if Skies doesn't want the game to grow larger than the tournament.
