In the Vatican: Poll of the Pope

[History Guy]

Attention!

This is the official vote for the election of the next Pope of Spain! As Cardinal of Castile, I am arranging it.

There are five cardinals of Spain at present (correct?). I expect only five voters.

Please vote for one of these two candidates. One will be Pope for a time, until he croaks, or something.

May God ordain the next Pope in this vote!

The voting ballots are open until this time in three day's time.

Couldn't we have something like a Pope-off to decide who gets the job, some truly irreverent competition to see whose got the biggest papal cojones?

[ThePlagueRat]

ooc:
Why start a complete poll, if you only have five voters?
Those who are cardinals can just PM you, or post beneath...

[History Guy]

Senor el Ruby Master...I understand that as a new convert, you may not quite be so reverant as you might be...but...uhhh...that idea is out. Last time we tried...the candidates all died. It was very sad, and I don't think we'd like to try it again.

[ooc] Plague...do you mean send messages to the cardinals for their votes? Right-O. [/ooc]

[Aidun]

I am a cardinal who guides rather than punishes, who forgives like the almighty God does every time that we sin. Vote for me to prevent needless bloodshed. Death may never have the last word

I am the cardinal of the people, vote for me if you cardinals want a pope who knows what's going on in the society, who understand the people, who has been with them, and seen what problems they are dayly confronted with.

Cardinal Aidun Cian the older

[Nuclear Winter]

[ooc]I´d rather say every Cardinal posts here when he votes. Why complicate it with Pming?[ooc]
I voted already

[GodKing]

I am GODKING. I am superior to the POPE. I am the KING of the GOD. The POPE shall BOW DOWN before my GREATNESS. BOW DOWN I SAY. GOOD little MORTAL. NOW, what is this about ELECTIONS! THE POPE is ordained by ME. ME. So, who will PAY the most for this PRESTIGIOUS position....

[Nuclear Winter]

/me walks some steps back and reaches for his sword*

[Aidun]

Please, almighty Father forgive him, he does not know what he is saying.

* Cardinal Aidun Cian the older makes the sign of the cross. *

Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

[Hot Mustard]

Is this where we can get our Pope-on-a-Rope?

[History Guy]

Senor God King might need to be on a rope if he doesn't repent.

Filthy little blackguard.

[Thud]

Seeing as how Sr. Tacticus has yet to make an appearence throughout the history of the church, I vote for Aidun Cian.

[History Guy]

I am afraid you are right. Cardinal Tacticus has not argued his case, and thus probably will lose this election as a result.

As the full votes are in, I will announce that the poll will stay open for the remaining two days for anyone who wishes to change his vote. He may do so by speaking his mind here. I shall keep the tally.

[pikesfan]

Aren’t we supposed to have some mysterious Ways of Scrutiny? And some wood, and some straw to burn?

[History Guy]

Errr...is it just me...or does it appear that there are six voters? Moreover...is it just me...or did Tacticus not post at all here on the Curia since the voting began?

Dammit.

This means that we need to do this with Private Messengers, like Gastronome Neecap, after all...

Unless someone has deep religious convictions, and wants to be a Cardinal...
