There is currently no reward for Deputisation (except we might say thanks :) ).
The relevant part of Rule 1607 is here:
The Mutability Index (MI) is a Budget Switch.
A proposal that was in the Proposal Pool at the beginning of a
given week is a pending proposal.
The Promotor CAN distribute a proposal which is in the Proposal
Pool at any time.
In a given Agoran week, the Promotor SHALL, as part of eir
weekly duties:
a) distribute MI pending proposals (or all, if there are
fewer than MI of them) such that the sum of the
Distributabilities of the distributed proposals is
maximised, and
b) distribute all disinterested pending proposals.
Since you CAN only deputise something that SHALL be done, what this means is,
in order to deputise, you have to distribute the correct set of Distributable
proposals and ALL disinterested ones (you can't just do some, if you try to
do some, you won't have fulfilled this duty, and the deputisation fails).
ANOTHER option, though, is to Assume the office, distribute a few of them,
then resign the office. That way, you're safe from doing it wrong.
