Caller's Arguments:
From Rule 2438 (Ribbons):
Cyan (C): When a person deputises for an office, that person earns
a Cyan Ribbon.
The question is whether "temporary deputisation" is a sub-category of
"deputisation" (deserving of a Ribbon) or if the qualifier makes it
something totally separate and not ribbon-earning.
From Rule 2160 (Deputisation):
5. the deputy, when performing the action, announces that e is
doing so by deputisation or by temporary deputisation
[...]
When a player deputises for an elected office, e becomes the
holder of that office, unless the action being performed would
already install someone into that office, and/or unless the
deputisiation is temporary.
The "deputisation or by temporary deputisation" implies they're
distinct things and not sub-categories, but the "unless the
deputisation is temporary" implies one is a sub-category of the other
(these are the only usages in the whole Ruleset of the term
"temporary".
It makes some kinda sense that a ribbon reward is reserved for when
you actually take on an office, but I don't have a prejudice
otherwise: FWIW when I wrote the "temporary" rule I didn't think about
ribbons at all so there was no particular intent.
