I also accept your offer to help keeping the order in case the Devil wanted to misguide the cardinal again, but you must follow the rules as we do, so no food or drink during the meeting.

As prospective first Knight of this Order I am prepared to go without food or drink for as long as required to sort this situation out to Divine satisfaction.

I think I shall call this rite a "Vigil" after the annoying little servant that keeps waving the Vienna Squid Bites in my face.

I am the one that brought the news of monotheism to Spain when I returned from one of my voyages. I saw the light and became converted by the almighty God.
Before this conversion I was already a respected priest like señor Tacticus and señor Calamari too.Since my conversion to christianity I have studied the Bible and preached the word of the Lord to anyone who wanted to hear about.
I have followed the example of the Lord: I forgave those who sinned against me, I helped those who needed my help, etc.

For these reasons I claim to be cardinal.

My mission is to spread christianity over the world. I want to be a shepherd who herds his people like sheeps: take care for them and bring those people who leave the flock back to the flock. I see it as my mission to guide people to the eternal life, to recieve the grace of God.

[OliverFA]

Señor Aidun, the evidences that you have presented to me are considered valid. By the power the King has delegated in me, I recognize you as one of the cardinals.

[GeneralTacticus]

I claim to be a Cardinal on the grounds that my family have been among the religious leaders of Spain since our nation was born, and had substantial influence in setting up the Catholic Church.

[OliverFA]

Señor Marcos Navarro, your family is well known for being priests since the early days of the founding of Madrid. You are also by right one of the cardinals.

[History Guy]

I am a Cardinal of the Church. I was appointed Cardinal of Castile by the King, and I am leave this day for the Squidimark to anoint the dying in this terrible plague that is devastating my family. If I die in this plague, allow my son to take my place as Cardinal.

[ooc] I am leaving for a funeral. May return in a week. [/ooc]

As for the elections, I'm terribly pleased that someone else has managed to get them organized.

May God save the King!

For the King, and for the God!
My family studied this MonotheÃsm scriptures for long ages (remember who found the iscription of the Father god? it is is La Academia), and it was our family who arranged the buying the holy Gospels from Vox Controli.
Even thus, I have heard a mighty voice yesterday. on a dream. I saw a great balck mist, and the burning-red eyes of great Demons were seen inside the mist. It was on a road, and I could hear the claims of Innocent people being torn appart by them.
Out of sudden, I heard the thunderous voice of His, our most sacred Lord:
´´Go and free the people from suffering and pain! Make the roads to freedom and goodness safe for the honest once again! GO!You are to rid this world of evil. You are to aid the poor! SOn of Polaris Winterius you are, and learn that arguings and disputes for power are not for you. You are to create an army of Crusaders, knights of the Holy Cross, and Liberate the Holy Lands from the Pagans!´´
And a shiny sword, sharp as nothing, floated amidst the air, and did cut the mist, and the light that came from it scared the vile demons.A huge demon, dressed like an Arab, came nearby me, and threatened me, but the sword cut him apart.
As I woke in great joy, the sword lay aside me, and covering it there was a beautiful piece pf cloth with a red cross drawn over it.
This shall be the simble of this ´´Crusade´´; I shall leave in piligrimage for now, and I shall return when I am phisically and spiritually fit to comand an army of worthy warriors.
See you later my friends,
The son of Polaris Winterius and ex-Cardinal of Santiago,
Pablo Winterius the I
[ooc]This character will only be seen again when we discover cavalry, or when we start a crusade against ND, whichever comes first[ooc]

[OliverFA]

Señor Calamari, certainly the documents I have in my power credit you as Cardinal of Castile. I've taken note of the sense of your vote. You may enter meditation again is you wish.

[OliverFA]

Señor Winterius, certainly La Academia and the interest your family has shown about the Holy Scriptures show you are a cardinal. However, I would advise you to pay attention to the voices in your head, for they could be the voices of the servants of God, but also the voices of the Devil trying to misguide you.

All this speech about those crusaders is great, but now it's the name of meditation, not of weapons. (looking at the cardinals weapons) In fact I don't believe you need your weapons at this moment. Please señores hand your weapons to the Señor Juan de Molay, for him to keep them safe until the pope has been elected.

* Looking at the other men at the room who hasn't yet defended their right to be cardinals

And you, señores, what do you have to say about your right to participate in the election?

Would that be Pope on a Rope...

Lord Fernández, I was consecrated a Cardinal by Cardinal Calamari on the 7th of April of this year, for cannot a Cardinal create a Cardinal? Here is a commeorative document in proof signed by Cardinal Calamari himself.

[pikesfan]

I also refer to the words of King Togas, who said (in case my scribe has forgotten to bring me the document),

“Those who are not Dukes may choose to be Cardinals.“

Too slow, Senor Tamali. I believe GK's post was in response to mine, right above his, which you must have missed:

[Aidun]

Señor Fernandez, I am not the one who opposes the cardinalhood of senõr Pikesfan, but I do oppose the way he was consecrated:
- There was no discussion witth the other cardinals, Cardinal Calamari did it by himself alone. I do oppose this way of handling.
- Cardinal Calamari did it DURING the elections. Whether señor Pikesfan would vote in favotr of me or not, I oppose the idea that people can be made cardinal during the elections to vote in favor of some party. Senõr Fernandez, If you approve señor Pikesfan as a cardinal with a right to vote for the pope, I request that you keep the opportunity for me to get my friends become cardinal so that they can vote for me. If we play this game of getting your friends to become cardinal, both parties should have the opportunity to do so, isn't it?

Cardinal Aidun Cian the older

[OliverFA]

Señor Pikesfan, I do not oppose you being named cardinal, but señor Aidun has a valid point here in saying that your nomination happened during the first attempt of election. Provided that I am not a Holy Man but a manager in charge of getting this issue solved, I base on the known facts to legitimate my decission, and I'm recognizing the five cardinals consacrated prior to the begining of the election. That is, by order of consacration: Cardinal Calamari (HistoryGuy), Cardinal Tacticus, Cardinal Aidun, Cardinal Winterius and Cardinal Quixote (Thud).

However, I declare this list as a provisional one, and the first Pope, inspired by God, may want to revise it.
