Summary
Welcome delegates, to the first proper episode of the Delegation Game! Here we see everyone in the few hours before the plenary conference opened, and the Paris Peace Conference as we know it began. There was much to do, there was scheming aplenty and a great deal of opportunistic handshaking going on, as the delegations and the lonely delegates alike scoped out Hotel Twamley which would host them for the next six months.
I am so incredibly excited and proud to present this to you guys - an idea which began around the time of the Armistice in November has ballooned in size and scope, to the point that I can now count 33 delegates, a number which is only set to increase as we go on. For those that have signed up and are playing the game, thanks so much for making this idea of mine a reality. For those that have yet to sign up, I hope this episode will indicate what's in store for you - absolutely every person that is mention here is played by a real person, and the negotiations continue in the Facebook group and the innumerable chat groups which await your presence!
There is far too much going on here to list in detail, but if you want to learn more about what's going on, who is who and where their goals might lead, make sure and access the section of our website where we deal exclusively with the Delegation Game. For more information please don't hesitate to contact me through the usual channels!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome, dearest delegates, to the first episode of the Delegation Game. |
| 0:05.8 | After so many months of planning and preparing and even a little bit of scheming, |
| 0:10.4 | I'm so happy to announce that we're finally ready to go. |
| 0:14.2 | At time of recording, an incredible 33 people have signed up to play the Delegation game, |
| 0:19.5 | and I'm still waiting on some people's |
| 0:21.4 | details, but we have plenty here to make a really fantastic story, and one which looks set to |
| 0:27.2 | change radically in shape as you crazy delegates work your magic. Before we get into this episode, |
| 0:34.5 | a bit of housekeeping should be addressed first. For those immensely confused about what's going on right now, this is the delegation game, and a new |
| 0:42.9 | episode comes out every Friday. If you would like to take part, please click on the link in the |

| 1:01.7 | insanity which they get up to. Alternatively, if you simply want to keep pace with what is going on, |
| 1:07.2 | feel free to simply listen in each week and watch the story in this alternative world |
| 1:11.4 | take shape. If you'd like a role in shaping it, though, you know where to go. And remember, |
| 1:16.7 | you can sign up any time. It would actually be best to sign up in the earlier weeks before any |
| 1:21.2 | solid alliance blocks emerge. But even if you sign up later, maybe you're the kind of person |
| 1:25.3 | that wants to try and take these solid alliance blocks apart. If so, any time is the best time to join. For detailed |
| 1:33.5 | information, you should note that we have a Facebook group for all these delegates, delegation game |
| 1:38.1 | delegates, it's called, as well as several Facebook chats dealing with a whole range of issues, |
