Here are my submissions for the best Zine articles from the archives:
I have deliberately only mentioned one article per author. They are in
alphabetical order by author.
Brandon Clarke: Discovering the Religion of Donism (W1997A)
A great yarn about the tournament scene in Australia in the late 90s
Jamie Dreier: Master Class: The Endgame (F1995M)
An idiosyncrinatic choice. Not necessarily in the best 5 articles but
appeals to my mathematical side to learn about virtual wins in
Diplomacy (I'm still to see this concept appear in a real game that
I'm playing)
Chris Martin: London (S2003M)
The fleet in London should go to the English Channel. Clearly the
highlight of the special 34th edition.
Paul Windsor: What's Your Point? (S1999M)
Really any article by Paul Windsor could go here.
John Wooley: Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Diplomat: The Double Elimination Conundrum (S1995M)
I wanted to include a Sherlock Holmes article in this list since it's
such a vibrant and traditional part of the Zine, so I chose the first
one.
An honourable mention to the Bismark Lectures, but since they're
reprints, I don't believe it is appropriate to vote for them here.
If you wish to e-mail feedback on this article to the author, and clicking
