Normally, when a new office is created, it's given to the author of the proposal (rule 1006). The Promotor's job is to distribute proposals; it's the Assessor who actually resolves them. As such, the office of Promotor has very little impact on the way players are allocated to offices. (The Promotor might end up in a new office when a proposal is resolved, if e happened to be the author of the proposal, but that would be unrelated to eir status as Promotor.) The officer who tracks offices is the ADoP. E does have a small advantage when it comes to gaining offices, because the vote collector for an election has the ability to break ties (rule 955). In any case, it's more common for Agora to struggle with finding anyone who has the time/motivation/ability to run an office than it is for it to struggle with people fighting over who should get the office. -- ais523
