It's the Zany Popetastic Sede Vacante Supergame! Tom Send a noteboard - 07/03/2013 06:00:53 PM

It's simple to play. Just tell us the following:

  1. Who the next Pope will be (full name as it appears today)
  2. When he will be elected (exact day)

AND (bonus points)

  1. His Papal name upon ascension.

Scoring is as follows:

Correct name: +50 points
Correct day: +25 points (15 if one day off either way, 5 if two days off)
Papal name: +75 points

Whoever has the most points win.

Pope away and have fun!

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Take your fake answer elsewhere if you're not going to play seriously. *NM* - 07/03/2013 11:48:57 PM 577 Views
*is chastened* That was the only remotely possible answer I could come up with w/o research. *MN* - 08/03/2013 04:13:44 AM 1032 Views
So go do the research! It can't take as long to perform as one of your standard diatribes... *NM* - 08/03/2013 09:29:57 PM 513 Views
