World Diplomacy Convention
August 22, 2008 - Diplomacy, Games
I’ve been attending the World Diplomacy Convention 2008 at Burg Lockenhaus in Austria last weekend. From Thursday the 14th to Sunday the 17th we played four rounds of Diplomacy to find the new world champion. And now guess who made it… *drumroll* …not me!
I managed to get to the Top Board - which is more or less the finals for those of you who don’t know about Diplomacy - but that’s where it stopped for me and I could only watch a fellow German player, Julian, to win the game and take the title.
With the competition being that big - there’ve been players from all of the world - I am more than happy that I managed to place 3rd in the end. Up to now my best result in a Diplomacy tournament and that in a world championship, not bad in my books. This also scored me the “Rising Star” trophy which was awarded to the best player of all those which attended their first world championship.
For those of you interested in how a face-to-face diplomacy convention looks like and what a beautiful location we played in I uploaded a couple of photos my girlfriend took during the convention.
