Oh, no, not at all. I just was at work and didn't have time to write a
longer reply. I appreciate you nominating me, but I'm not able to take it
on right now.

Okay. Sorry if that came off mean, but you are a bit... unpredictable. Did
that just make it worse? (Sigh.) I'm not great at talking to people.

Thanks. Before e thinks of it emself, I'd like to politely request that
Alexis doesn't just come in and take this one. E's already Referee, and the
rest of us have to have some fun. I'd really like to have something to
do. Besides, at this rate e may be speaker soon.

I'm aware, but as I've been a slacker for a whole month now, no
announcement of intent is neccessary in this case.

Bear in mind that deputisation requires intent, unless the office is
empty or the action is more than fourteen days overdue.

Oh, I was thinking that if there was actual desire for a new Speaker, I
wasn't going to override the rest of Agora on that. It wouldn't be very
effective because I could still be ousted by proposal; there's not much
point in scamming when obvious counterscams exist (and if I had a
method of blocking arbitrary proposals, I'd save it for a time when I
could get more out of it than just the Speakership).

Additionally, political power in Agora atm is fairly useless because
there isn't enough of an economy to interfere in.

Thanks, that's a relief! No, calling an election is not neccessary, we
can use deputisation instead. I'll neglect to mention the state of the
Proposal Pool when I distribute the current Proposals tomorrow.
Because I haven't performed this duty for over a month now, you'll then
be able to assume the Promotor office via deputisation (e.g. "I
deputise for the Promotor to publish the following Promotor report: The
Proposal Pool is currently empty.")

I was kind of hoping that current Speaker ais523 might demonstrate this power 
to keep eir office :).

The intent has in fact timed out; having pointed out the Speaker-changing 
possibility I'll let others re-intend/fight it out if desired...

Also: last few weeks unexpectedly busy, should catch up reports myself in next 
week, apologies.

I'm afraid I oppose. The office of speaker has veto power,  and I'm not
sure if I trust em that much after es (Is that the right pronoun?) last CFJ.

I looked at the responsibilities, and it doesn't look to bad. I'll take it
in the short run and see how it works out. Do we need to have an election?
