I probably missed a few webDip players. Top7 proceed to the final board. Vecna lost it on tiebreakers, so there's only two webDip players there. I believe exactly 100 players played, making this the largest (v)FTF tournament ever!

There are 13 awards in this tournament.

Top3: Undetermined yet

Golden Blade, Player's Choice and Whoopsie-Doodle: Votes are being counted.

(One, or two, best country award could still be overtaken by the final board, but that's historically unlikely)
Best Austria: Maxim Popov (14 centres)
England: Farren Jane (a solo on 19 centres in 1908)
France: Claesar (15 centres)
Germany: Nicolas Sahuguet (Woland on webDip, 17)
Italy: Christophe Borgeat (15)
Russia: Christian Kline / JJ Raymond / Chris Campbell (all board tops at 9)
Turkey: Jaxon Roberts (17)

tiebreakers are fun

Farren Jane is on WebDip as farrenj, but not very active.

85 VillageIdiot also.

You were robbed and you can blame ghug for it!!

First time I'd played in a vFTF tournie (or indeed played at all for a couple years ), highly recommend it for people in future. Game times were a bit rough for a Brit so I only played in two, but they were clearly designed so that someone in any timezone in the world could play at least a game or two. Very well organised all round, too - Especially given just how big some of the rounds were.

Alex you gem!! I nominated you for players choice for dealing with our shenanigans with such grace :)

I am Marcus Edholm. Could sadly only play 2 on Friday rounds this time as I was busy yesterday .

Also missing the Diplomacy Games Podcast guys!

19 Ken Gordon 100.00 130.00 136.00 366.00
79 Gavin Atkinson 0.00 60.00 60.00

No, I had Amby in the list. Ken Gordon is Kaner, right?

And then I presume:
51 Alexintour 80.00 60.00 4.00 40.00 180.00

yes, Claesar. Alexintour is correct.

Thanks.
did my best trying to survive the ruthless rush to the west!
It was a tough night and in the end just the beer saved me.


Also got a chance to play with Hellenic Riot if I'm not wrong!
