GoKawiilDiplomacy Board Game Draws 80 Players to World Championship at Dixiecon
A first-person account describes competing in the tabletop game Diplomacy against 80 other players at Dixiecon, held in a dorm basement in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The narrator recounts forming an alliance with fellow player Brian Ecton, only to be warned by other competitors that Ecton was manipulating him, before the alliance ultimately collapsed when an English-aligned player refused to support the narrator's army.
