How will France cope with its shattering loss of the father of victory? What other schemes were ongoing? How did a Pole sneakily dodging between several delegations fit into proceedings?

| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome, history friends, patrons, |
| 0:25.2 | delegates, and everyone else in between to episode 7 of the Delegation Game. |
| 0:30.5 | First of all, an apology. |
| 0:32.5 | Oh, this seems familiar, doesn't it? |
| 0:34.1 | But yes, I need to apologise for the fact that it's been a crazy month |
| 0:38.3 | and an insane last two weeks in particular, so I'm really sorry for having another break |
| 0:42.8 | so soon after the last one. On the right side, though, this means we'll be running all the way |
| 0:46.6 | to the end of May with no breaks, I believe, so that's a good bit of news. Perhaps we'll be able to |
| 0:51.7 | build up some momentum along the way, and those that |
| 0:54.7 | seem to have withdrawn from the chats and schemes somewhat will be welcomed back with open arms. |
| 1:00.0 | Those that continue to light up the discussions, you know who you are, and you've been very busy |
| 1:03.9 | indeed of the last fortnight. Here, as we would have done on our regular Versailles Anniversary project, |

| 1:15.1 | to Paris only to get down to some grim business, the funeral of one of the big three who had |
| 1:19.7 | since been killed. That's right, you crazy delegates, voted to off poor Clemenceau rather |
| 1:25.8 | than allow him to recover as per the actual history. |
| 1:28.4 | I had to say, I was quite surprised about this, but it does make for some interesting times. |
| 1:33.0 | We'll talk about Clemmy's replacement in this episode, and also how it affects the procedures of the big three. |
| 1:38.3 | We're also required to get rid of a few delegates who stopped paying their visa fees, so you can look forward to that as well. |
| 1:43.3 | Some strange diplomacy on the Polish side has been undertaken, which we'll have to get into, too. |
| 1:48.2 | We also saw several proposals fail to pass the voting stage. |
| 1:51.8 | A disappointing outcome for those that were just trying to be as moist as possible. |
