Hey, we're enlightened and we're tired of the pole-pushers calling the shots.
Originally posted by Freddie2006History has already been changed by replacing the reigning pope with Pope Ivanhoe the Paranoid. That's a good reason to start reformation early.

Originally posted by Freddie2006I don't think it's that late. If I remember correctly, the game started in 1320, and assuming one year per turn, it's now 1326 going into 1327. I think you got the 97 from the Napoleonic game.
I think someone said it was 1397 which would have made it Pope Boniface IX.
Great name 😛

Originally posted by NordlysThis is hardly a reasonable objection, since most players have adopted character name changes.

Pope Ivanhoe has already given the Duke of Bavaria a "Sicilian kiss" and looks forward to seeing the Duke's head on an Italian halberd by 1330.

Ok, guys, I am back.
I had sort of a personal crisis this last week that demaded my attention in a rather brutal way. I am an insulin-dependent diabetic and was admitted to the hospital with DKA (or diabetic ketoacidosis). It's when your blood gets filled up with ketones (a by-product of inefficient fat metabolism caused by high blood sugar levels ). Then to make things worse, I delayed going to the hospital, thinking it was just dehydration. By the time I was admitted, I also had labored breathing with tachycardia (my pulse was 160-ish ).
This being Sunday, I was discharged just this afternoon and will be taking a couple days off work this next workweek to get back to 100%. I feel tons better than when I went in (obviously, hehe). One benefit of this hospital trip is that now I'm on a totally different type of insulin that may help keep my sugars more normal.
So, this is why I didn't send in my orders. I do plan to stay in the game, so no worries there.
Ok, sorry to interrupt. Please continue your normally scheduled ranting.
