The 2021 Boston Massacre was held digitally due to the Coronavirus emergency. Rather than crowding into a hotel ballroom for a weekend, 25 players crowded into a Discord server and played three rounds of Diplomacy over a Saturday. Games were played on the Backstabbr interface, and negotiations were done via individual Discord rooms on the aforementioned server. All of which, though it doesn't perfectly replicate the conditions of a face-to-face game, sufficed for our purposes. We had some faces familiar to the face-to-face crowd, but a significant influx of primarily online players as well; for many of these, Massacre was their first real-time tournament, and we hope this experience will encourage them to join us at future face-to-face tournaments, and specifically face-to-face Boston Massacre!
