Summary
The situation in our alternative universe continues to heat up, but some might say, for the better. The President Marshall of France, Ferdinand Foch, having survived the recent vote, now has his regime confirmed, but not all delegates have to like it. Foch's regime was buoyed by several successes over the last week, including one development in particular which will leave some delegates happy, and some furious - that, I'm afraid, is the nature of the Game! Remember, get scheming if you want to resolve this situation; change your character if you feel like your situation is hopeless, or change your perceptions altogether and work for a better peace for this world (yeah, right!). Either way, remember that if you want to play the delegation game and shape this world, you need only sign up for $6 a month! We cannot guarantee you a warm reception, but since the delegates involved only have three months left to make this final treaty, we can guarantee that you will be very busy indeed!

| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Hello and welcome Delegates All to episode 11 of the Delegation Game. |
| 0:29.5 | Last time we dropped some very significant events on you indeed, |
| 0:33.9 | as President Marshall Ferdinand Fosch, having launched a coup for the presidency in France, |
| 0:38.9 | had his regime confirmed by adoring crowds and the Chamber of Deputies alike in the first week of April 1919. |
| 0:46.0 | So, he then decided to follow this up with a statement of intent. |
| 0:50.2 | The 16 points was this statement, and I'm surprised, but happy, to say that these 16 points passed |
| 0:56.7 | by a single vote this week. This makes everything much easier for me, so a huge thanks to everyone |
| 1:03.6 | who voted, and if you didn't get the link, you've been added to that list of delegates and should |
| 1:07.7 | get it next time we send out a vote, which will be probably next week because there is no vote at the end of this episode. |
| 1:14.0 | And don't worry, you're going to find out why that's the case soon enough. |
| 1:18.0 | Before we do that, though, we've got some other issues to get through, such as welcoming the new delegates. |
| 1:23.6 | Something you should know is that several players swapped their delegates out for new ones in response to the situation. |
| 1:29.3 | I'm waiting for confirmation from some of them, as well as an academic, a new player. |
| 1:34.3 | Dr. Steve Cloutier, hope I'm pronouncing your surname right there, Steve. |
| 1:38.3 | He has signed up to join us. |
| 1:40.3 | Crazy, though that may sound. |
| 1:42.3 | Welcome, Steve, and I look forward to hearing what delegate you'd like to play as. |
| 1:45.8 | Those players that I have assigned delegates to, I've yet to hear back from you, and some |
| 1:49.6 | other players are taking up double duties now, so expect Edward Benesh and Sean T. O. Kelly |
| 1:54.6 | to become more active as a result of that, because players that are playing as other delegates |
| 1:59.4 | have taken up their delegation duties |
| 2:01.4 | too, so that hopefully I get less mail. |
