| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome Delegates from all over the world to the Delegation Game episode 6. |
| 0:29.9 | We have hopefully enjoyed our well-deserved break from all things Delegate. |
| 0:34.8 | I for one really enjoyed my time off, but I'm ready today to get back |
| 0:38.3 | into the swing of things. Matters did not sit still while Woodrow Wilson and all of us |
| 0:43.2 | returned home, and in this packed episode we catch up on several matters which our little |
| 0:47.7 | holiday had kicked down the road. Judging by everyone's willingness to drop off the radar over |
| 0:52.3 | the last week, I'm going to take that |

| 1:32.4 | alternative history tale and bringing a narrative back up to speed in the process. Some actual events |
| 1:38.1 | like the assassination attempt on George Clammonsoe still took place and Wilson still returned to |
| 1:43.9 | the United States to present the League. |
| 1:45.8 | This time around, though, as we now know, thanks to the results of our poll, you delegates have voted to support Wilson and commend his efforts. |
| 1:53.4 | This gesture of moral support will be invaluable to the beleaguered president, and he will certainly be relieved to note that |
| 2:00.2 | Theodore Roosevelt was not gunning after his role as leader of the American delegation in |
| 2:04.8 | Paris. Roosevelt remained head of his own delegation, and in this episode, as we'll see, |
