Yep you did just fine, welcoming is fast and loose; I just recommended
players grant themselves welcome packages to have them use various rules
from the get go. It didn't have to go to Agora business even :)

Welcome!

By the way, for all new players (or anyone that wants a refresher?),
I've been working on a new beginner's guide. You can see the rough draft
here: https://gist.github.com/nixnull/7926bf2363d9076af6605c10d3eced02

I hope it's useful, and I would love any feedback to make it better!

Welcome!
I recommend that you grant yourself a welcome package (that's effectively a
stamp of your own type!)

Also this is my first time welcoming someone so if I’ve done something wrong 
someone please let me know!

I think there needs to be some kind of change so that an unwilling delegate
stop being one. As is, someone else would have to volunteer, since you can
only make the delegate *yourself* with Agoran consent. I don't like that
someone with a bunch of offices could burden someone else with all the
office work for 30 days, who'd be forced to go inactive if they can't
comply or can't get someone else to volunteer. Also what would happen if a
delegate "resigns"? I think it'd be a good idea to have it be defined, and
could fix this issue. Maybe throw in a clause about deputizing when there's
no delegate and an officer is on vacation, the deputizer becomes the new
delegate.

I reread the discussion from when this was first proposed (in May of
last year!). Back then, the concern was striking a balance between
insuring someone would fill the role, not creating "dynasties" where the
current holder chose their successor, and making this all timely so it
wasn't a hassle. I hope this method is a good balance. The officer can
just choose someone if there is nobody, but a simple Consent decision
can always assign someone. If people don't agree with the officer's
choice, it's over-rideable.
