Summary

Episode 12 of the game sees our focus hone in on one eventful day, 19th April 1919, where three separate meetings were held, and where dreams were debated and dashed. The Japanese put forward their long anticipated racial equality proposal - which you will have to vote for - and the dominions made their cases before a packed plenary council meeting. With Poincare present, as the Premier of France or shill of Foch depending on your perspective, the stage was set for some memorable exchanges and weighted debates. Then, at the last moment, a bombshell was dropped which promised to dramatically alter the future of Russia, Europe and the world! From the grave, the Tiger's roar could still be heard...

Bavarian, Hungarian, Serbian and Russian situations all come under our microscope, and of course, we have much more in store.

We didn't vote on anything last week, as I attempted instead to let all that happened sink in for you guys,

and as I hoped we would all be able to just get along.

1:23.6

To my pleasant surprise, this is mostly panned out, and it seems that everyone is just a touch less active in the last week, probably because it's holidays for some of us lucky ones who maybe don't have to talk to themselves for a living.

Today, anyway, we have a proposal to vote on which reflects the historical period in which it was negotiated.
