It's the Zany Popetastic Sede Vacante Supergame! Tom - 07/03/2013 06:00:53 PM 1558 Views
I will try my hand at it. Tom - 07/03/2013 06:04:08 PM 1151 Views
Well... I think there is a fair chance that I'll score 0 points. jh - 07/03/2013 07:39:54 PM 1155 Views
There's a fair chance any of us will score 0 points. Tom - 07/03/2013 09:47:49 PM 1129 Views
That's gonna an epic fail DomA - 07/03/2013 08:09:16 PM 1330 Views
Paul David Hewson, 1 April, Pope Bono I Joel - 07/03/2013 09:54:50 PM 1175 Views
Take your fake answer elsewhere if you're not going to play seriously. *NM* Tom - 07/03/2013 11:48:57 PM 670 Views
*is chastened* That was the only remotely possible answer I could come up with w/o research. *MN* Joel - 08/03/2013 04:13:44 AM 1237 Views
So go do the research! It can't take as long to perform as one of your standard diatribes... *NM* Tom - 08/03/2013 09:29:57 PM 612 Views
Tomorrow; I am running on fumes and trying to tell Demotic from demotic at the moment. Joel - 08/03/2013 10:03:52 PM 1254 Views
Still, it only takes surfing quickly through 1-3 articles at most Larry - 08/03/2013 10:48:17 PM 1233 Views
Johnny was married FOUR times: I doubt he was Roman Catholic (the internet claims Methodist.) Joel - 09/03/2013 07:32:06 PM 1268 Views
Demotic is a Greek term, so capitalizing it or not really doesn't change anything. Tom - 09/03/2013 03:13:17 PM 1235 Views
Ah, I did not realize the Greek term was reserved for modern Greek; thanks. Joel - 09/03/2013 07:11:16 PM 1302 Views
Greek letters haven't changed in about 2800 years Tom - 09/03/2013 09:05:30 PM 1231 Views
So we do not know WTF numbers the die represents, if it does indeed represent numbers? Joel - 09/03/2013 10:15:59 PM 1142 Views
There is a simple way to figure out if they represent numbers. Tom - 10/03/2013 03:33:10 AM 1222 Views
That probably answers the positional notation aspect we'd been discussing on the other board Isaac - 10/03/2013 04:12:32 AM 1257 Views
Based on the photo shot, I can't see how the die would be used in a percentile fashion. Tom - 10/03/2013 03:18:43 PM 1186 Views
Thanks, it still leaves the purpose rather uncertain but random number generator seems ruled out Isaac - 10/03/2013 05:10:05 PM 1565 Views
Those are just the first 20 letters (of 24) of the Greek alphabet. Tom - 10/03/2013 06:57:46 PM 1119 Views
One would THINK so, yes.... Joel - 11/03/2013 04:54:05 PM 1421 Views

Billy Dee Williams, March 19th, Pope Lando II Stephen - 08/03/2013 04:15:39 PM 1112 Views
Wasn't Pope Lando I the guy who made the deal to keep the Roman Empire out of Vatican City Forever? *NM* Isaac - 09/03/2013 12:02:20 AM 641 Views
He was acting under pressure, you can't hold it against him! *NM* jh - 09/03/2013 08:27:12 AM 621 Views
True, and the deal just kept getting worse all the time *NM* Isaac - 09/03/2013 03:08:03 PM 687 Views
he had to truly pray that it wasn't altered any further *NM* moondog - 11/03/2013 02:23:06 PM 641 Views
Fine: Christoph Maria Michael Hugo Damian Peter Adalbert Graf von Schönborn, 24 March, Pius XIII Joel - 09/03/2013 07:45:48 PM 1430 Views

Or Lando. Great Lord of Chaos - 13/03/2013 08:56:11 PM 1530 Views
I am very particular about my Landos. *NM* Stephen - 13/03/2013 09:59:44 PM 670 Views
Calixtus, not Caxtillus. There has never been a Pope "Caxtillus". Tom - 14/03/2013 12:55:44 AM 1140 Views
I was shocked it happened so soon. Spriteling - 13/03/2013 07:46:08 PM 1306 Views
Us and most Vaticanists it appears DomA - 13/03/2013 11:49:29 PM 1310 Views
Well, I guess some might say we've gone from the "Nazi Pope" to the "Collaborator Pope" Larry - 14/03/2013 06:34:23 AM 1206 Views
I wondered what you would think about him, given his strong rejection of liberation theology. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/03/2013 06:59:17 AM 617 Views
Outside of what I noted above, I have some optimism Larry - 16/03/2013 07:30:03 AM 1241 Views
if i had known this pope was almost the last pope, it may have influenced my decision.... moondog - 14/03/2013 02:29:09 PM 1066 Views
Pope Suburban (the First) Praziquantel - 14/03/2013 02:09:44 AM 1137 Views
I love that you guessed after it happened and still got it wrong Sareitha Sedai - 14/03/2013 02:18:53 PM 1146 Views
so sue me! Praziquantel - 16/03/2013 06:31:40 PM 1269 Views
I had the feeling it was going to be one of the Latin Americans Danu - 14/03/2013 06:16:10 PM 1085 Views
