Crazy Play: Louis Abronson (the No Bulgaria opening)
Mad Play: Pete Dorman (for copying the No Bulgaria opening)

Table Talk:
“Austria equals pond scum.”
“It’s not very polite for the entire board to leave to talk together and they tell you to stay here.”
“When you stab someone your pieces are suppose to move.”
“The opening is a disease and I couldn’t cure it.”
“We do not need to negotiate, I have figured it all out.”

Classic Mis-orders
Fleet Constantinople to Bulgaria (‘but you know where I mean to go”) three different times by three different people.
Fleet Norway to Sevastapol (“are you sure… yes Sevastapol” then…”oh: that St Pete’)
Army Piedmont to Burgundy (“I thought I saw a connection.”)
Fleet Rumania support Fleet Constantinople to Bulgaria, Fleet Constantinople support Fleet Rumania to Bulgaria…Fleet Bulgaria fearing for it life goes to the Black Sea.

2 mentor games and 1 social game were played during the convention. You can find them in the BADAss Game (2006).
