In the Vatican: Poll of the Pope Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

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.

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.

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.

Well, Senor Pikesfan...as a member of the laity...I can consecrate you today as a Cardinal, and your vote would apply...but...it would give us a tie...

However, we've got two days...so let's give it a try!

If you want to...I will consecrate you Cardinal Pikesfan...the sixth Cardinal of Spain.

Alright, Pikesfan is Cardinal Number Six.

In other words, his vote counts.

However, I'm not quite sure if Tacticus actually voted yet.

So, old man, if you haven't been nibbled by a giant squid...then someone is an imposter, and should be fried.

I shall reconduct this screwy mess via Private Messengers now.

I've got my vote already cast...but I've got to contact the other five guys now...

Fellow Cardinals, my reason for not making an appearance was that I was not able to. I was recently making a journey around Spain to see what there was to see, but was waylaid by bandits ont he way back, causing me to be unavailable for some time. I am, however, now back (as you can see), and hence I can argue my case for being Pope (and vote on it, of course).

Now, Senor Aidun has made much of his being merciful towards those who stray from the correct path. This is nonsense. While the Church should always attempt to draw sinners back into the fold and peacefully convert those that it can, death must always be available as the final resort to stamp out the influence of Satan. Better that the unredeemable die and vanish, then be left alive to spread their heresy and poison the minds of innocents.

I, on the other hand, while I intend to make every effort to ensure that the Church tries to guide and educate rather than impose, believe that when evil hold sway and refuses to be cowed by words, we have no other option but to employ arms and death. To fail to do so would be to condemn countless innocents to Hell for no other reason than that we failed to protect them.

I refuse to recognise senor Pikesfan as a cardinal. It is incorrect to consecrate people to cardinals now that they see they can earn power.

And I strongly warn Cardinal Calamari that if he would not refuse to count the vote of senor Pikesfan, I myself will declare these elections unlawful and unfair. And I cannot forgive those who act in an unfair way.

Another question to Cardinal Calamari: How is it possible that 7 people have voted while there are 5 true cardinals?

I propose that we all revote by post so that everyone can see which cardinal has voted on which candidate. Those who vote and are not recognized as a cardinal by all the other cardinals; their votes can simply be ignored.

Why not accept senor pikesfan?
HE is such adedicated man! I understand Cardinal Cian is against it because he was accepted in the middle of an election, and that is unlawfull, but I myself am in favour of the entrance of Señor Pikesfan.
So let us do it this way :
We hal those elections now, and let them start again in a week.
The way of God Is that of jsutice and fairness. Besides, Cardinal Tacticus is yet to speak.

I ask for your support on this decision of halting the elections untill it is better organized.

Tacticus has made an appearance [Post 19]...and the theory is proved correct.

I shall contact all the Cardinals for their votes.

Cardinal Cian, It doesn't matter. This election has been wrecked by the votes of non-Cardinals. Senor Pikesfan is a Cardinal now.

In your zeal to win the election, Cardinal Cian, you must have overlooked my own messages pointing out the fraudalent votes. I must report that some of these votes went to you as well.

So, I will, as I said, contact the Cardinals, or ask them to contact me with votes.

Cardinal Calamari, I don't oppose the consecration of senor Pikesfan as a cardinal, I oppose the fact that it happened during the elections, that is unfair and I will not tolerate it.

Consecrate Pikesfan after the elections or postpone the elections, the choice is up to you. I do not care who of us will become pope now: Cardinal Tacticus or myself, I do not recognize the pope if outsiders are made cardinal during this election.

If you refuse to choose between the two options, I will reconsider my cardinalship in this church

Edit: I will do something that the Roleplayers do not like, but is inevitable = I will reconsider my cardinalship in this church
