Summary
With the launch of the Delegation Game only a week away (on 18th Jan 2019) I thought it'd be beneficial to set out some detail about this fantastic explosion of nerdiness, and what you need to do in order to take part. We look at some tools which the game will avail of, investigate what kind of impact your scheming can have on the proceedings, outline the structure of each episode going forward, and close the episode with some FAQ's, so that we're all on the same page.
The Delegation Game is a seriously exciting effort by yours truly to engage more completely with the source material and era which the Versailles situation provides. I've already been blown away by the interest and enthusiasm shown, but if you'd like to know more, then this episode is for you! We launch in a week, so make sure you take your seat in Paris! Thankssss, and I'll see you all there soon!

| 0:00.0 | Hi there, my name is Zach Twomley and this is an episode designed to inform you all about the Delegation Game. |
| 0:07.3 | The Delegation Game is something very special that we are going to be launching in exactly one week's time. |
| 0:13.4 | It's incredible that this time has really crept up on us, but I am aware that most of you still have questions. |
| 0:18.7 | In the last week or so, I released a document and put it on the website, |
| 0:22.4 | informing you all about, well, basically, how this game would work, and why you should be super excited. |
| 0:28.8 | It then occurred to me that since the best responses I get are from reading things out to you guys in episode format, |
| 0:35.5 | why don't I just read that document out to you so that you know what's what and so that |
| 0:39.7 | you know the details without having to read anything? |
| 0:42.0 | Wouldn't that be nice? |
| 0:43.0 | So yeah, that's basically what this episode will do. |
| 0:45.8 | If you're not interested at all in the delegation game, then don't listen to this episode |
| 0:49.8 | because it won't be very interesting to you. |
| 0:51.8 | However, if you're curious, and even if you're not |
| 0:54.5 | searching for a sales pitch, you just genuinely want to know how it will work, then this is the |
| 0:59.0 | right place to go. I'm only going to say this once in the beginning and once at the end, so you |
| 1:03.3 | don't get sick of it, but the best way by far to actually go through this whole process of |
| 1:09.0 | signing up is first and foremost to listen here and make |
| 1:11.8 | sure this is all for you, then to go and fill out the form which is available on the website |
| 1:17.1 | and then send out that form to me via email. If that filling out the forum process sounds |
| 1:23.1 | long and convoluted, it'll take about five minutes if you know exactly what you're doing. |
| 1:33.5 | It's only simple things like who your delegate is, what he likes or doesn't like, what he wants to do and what he wants to avoid, that kind of thing. Nothing too convoluted like what you had |
| 1:38.5 | for breakfast or anything like that. So don't you worry. There are a few concrete laws and things that we have to get through in this episode, |
