Arthur Field banked 72 Laurels from his second straight Harold Siegelman Award at Euro Quest and never looked back in running away with top Laurelist honors for 2005, besting 2004 Caesar James Pei by 34 in overtaking Pei’s 56-laurel lead going into WBC. Arthur outscored Pei by 80 in the six days of WBC to claim his first Caesar title. He also managed to keep the top honors all for himself by sweeping the Consul competition by 52 Laurels over his nearest competition, Dennis Nicholson, for sole bragging rights over his BPA realm.

Former Caesars Pei and Marvin Birnbaum finished second and third in the metagaming competition with Nicholas Anner, Bruce Reiff, and Bill Crenshaw rounding out the top six. Field became the first Caesar to reign using Euros as his weapon of choice—taking firsts in Battleline, Saint Petersburg and In the Shadow of the Emperor for 80 of his 224 laurels. Only eight of 2004’s Top 25 remained ranked in 2005. Only Field and Reiff have been ranked all four years.
