Archon 2011 Wrap-Up

I had a good time this year. I played the Duke of Wellington, you know, the guy that defeated Napoleon at Waterloo. I was the highest ranking English PC and the de-facto lead negotiator. I negotiated away British Columbia to the Americans in return for cash for the crown, Russian pressure on Japan and a little slice of the pie for my estate. Too bad I never got to cash in. Riots consumed London and I was assassinated by a jockey. Never trust the Russians.

I did win a nice prize for "Best Aristocrat", a book, The Long, Cold Walk to Mars and a nice print of some pirates talking about what appears to be a spyglass. I guess my sweet mutton-chops, prop cigar and older gentleman slow manner of speaking won the judges over.
