TOURNAMENT TROUBLES!

Automators (the real ones) aren't a bug; I personally have nothing against them. But there are pseudo-automators (like ArtMoney, or maybe others), and those are already CHEATS. Since there's no way to determine who used what, the best solution is to avoid the need for both.

P.S. I'm against showcasing battles (1 fairy against 1000 of something).

Can it be completed in an evening? And how much of that evening does the battle with the elementals take?

I defeated the elementals (using the ballista) 3 times:
Pyra - a little over 2 hours.
Alamar - I left it running overnight (6-7 hours)
Orrin - 3.5-4 hours (I don't remember exactly)
