Agora often has a mechanism via which proposals mustn't be distributed unless they're pending. Typically pending them, when a pending mechanism exists, requires a payment or is limited in how often you can do it. The idea is either to keep proposal distributions smaller, or encourage players to think before proposing. (The "pend" and "submit" actions are separate for safety reasons, in order to prevent Agora dying as a result of nobody being able to submit proposals; generally speaking, proposals that have been submitted but aren't pending CAN still be distributed, but the Promotor isn't supposed to do so.) All pending mechanisms seem to have been repealed as of October last year, though, so right now it's just a meaningless word. -- ais523

Re: DIS: Re: BUS: More Politicking
And given the Politics system was written by Alexis, I reckon it's almost certainly intentional, although I can't figure out how it was meant to give em an advantage. I suppose the Clork could use it to autocratically decide every election, but Alexis wasn't the Clork first time around. Hmm. -twg ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On Monday, February 18, 2019 12:20 AM, D.
