Summary
After a week of conspiracy and controversy, the fallout must be confronted. An exhausted and demoralised cast of delegates are challenged with creating some kind of policy approach to Russia, to listening to one another without going crazy, and with remaining wary at all times of former enemies, or should that be former friends? Regardless of what they planned to do in the future, there could be no denying that what they had done in the past had left Paris a haunted shell of its former self. The question remained to be answered - would it all be worth it in the end?

| 0:00.0 | Thank you. Hello and welcome, history friends, delegates, all to episode 8 of the Delegation Game. |
| 0:43.1 | Last time a whole load of Death's Darkened our doorway, with George Clemenceau, Karenski, |
| 0:49.1 | and perhaps even Kain Weizmann kicking the bucket, all in a space of a single episode. |
| 0:53.9 | You people are mad. This episode |
| 0:55.6 | promises to contain less murder, but still an awful lot of conspiracy to commit murder, nonetheless. |
| 1:02.7 | We have had a very productive week as well as our alternative Treaty of Versailles continues to expand |
| 1:07.6 | with several resolutions successfully passed in our voting booth. |
| 1:12.5 | Where there has been success, though, there's also been an incredible amount of controversy. |
| 1:17.1 | The Italians, it would seem, have left the building, as everyone's favorite meme maker, |
| 1:22.7 | Bonifacio Fidel, managed to get himself caught up in a grand conspiracy and was subsequently thrown in prison. |
| 1:29.6 | As a protest, Vittorio Orlando made a statement to the press, bailed his comrade out of jail and |
| 1:35.4 | returned home to Rome. Absolving himself of any association with his leader, apparently, |
| 1:41.0 | Fidel has now thrown his lot in with the Zionist delegation, which would have been |
| 1:45.1 | a much more effective gesture had its de facto leader, Kyle Weizmann, not vanished. Nobody has |
| 1:51.4 | seen heads or tales of Weitzman in weeks, but it was the discovery of Alexander Kerensky's body |
| 1:56.1 | in the River Seine, only a stones throw away from the Hotel Zachary that truly sent the doomsayers over the edge. |
| 2:03.6 | The Big Three, which now consists of Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George and Albert Clavel, supported by |
| 2:10.7 | René Miscegely, was feeling particularly gloomy at the end of last week's installment, |
| 2:16.0 | but in the meantime, they managed to make a |
| 2:18.1 | critically important policy decision. The Allies, in league with the accredited German delegates, |
| 2:24.3 | determined at some point last week to actually commit to a proper, organized campaign to crush |
| 2:30.4 | Bolshevism in Russia. That's right, your vote passed. This firm decision was objected to by Lloyd George, and Woodrow Wilson wasn't so sure either. |
