Gratuitous: The origin of the "you get a Cyan Ribbon for deputising" rule is older than the "you gain an office by deputising for it" rule (although the former hasn't been in the ruleset continuously, it was repealed for a while and came back later). So at the time the concept was created, deputising had no connotation of taking on the office at all, only of helping to keep Agora running despite delinquency in the reports. -- ais523
