HALT. *Within* the proposal, proposal cards were created *before* the Speakership was redefined. So the card creation was in relation to the *old* speaker. At the moment this took effect: > AN instance of each position card above is hereby created, with the cards > in the order given above (top to bottom) each being created in the > possession of a different currently active player Champion other than > the speaker, in the order each player was last granted the patent title > champion (most recent to less recent). the Speaker was still defined by the old R402. And it was Wooble. And the creation was not in reference to a "newly created" list but rather a list defined by the above description (rather than by a name). So the card distribution was correct. After that, the order of succession took effect when R402 was amended later in the Proposal, which is a matter of secondary dispute that can be reasonably argued both ways as per our previous arguments. -G.
