ManorCon Results 2005

Individual Diplomacy Results

This year saw the smallest ever ManorCon Team Diplomacy Tournament, with just five boards in the team round. However, the other rounds were a similar size to recent years. But more important than the size is that everybody who took part enjoyed themselves.

So, the final results were :

Other Awards

As has become traditional at ManorCon, an award was given for each nationality from which a player was present. The recipients of awards were selected by the players in attendance from that nation.

Most French player (who is not actually French) Millis Miller He lies only once per turn.
Most American player (who is not actually American) Gihan Bandaranaike He’s just that bit louder than the rest.
