College of Cardinals (Principia Moderni IV Map Game)

The College of Cardinals is the collection of Cardinals within the Roman Catholic Church. Each Cardinal is appointed by the Pope and represents the upper echelon of the Catholic Church.The College is responsible for selecting the next Pope whenever the incumbent dies or decides to resign.

Rules for Players
For more player involvement, each player will be able to decide the vote of his or her respective Cardinals. If you do not sign off in the section below before the next turn after the Papal death it will be assumed that you are not interested in voting and your votes will go to MP. NPC votes also go to MP.

In order to be elected Pope, a two thirds majority must be obtained. As there are fifteen Cardinals, there must be a vote of ten in order to become Pope. You are allowed to vote for yourself, but it is discouraged.

Current College
The current College is composed of fifteen Cardinals alongside the Patriarch of Constantinople, who acts as mediator.

Papal Conclave, 1404-1405
This College was composed of fifteen Cardinals, down from sixteen in the last Papal Conclave in 1389. Strikeouts represent Cardinals who died in the process of selection.

Please cast your votes for a particular candidate below. Because no one was voted in as Pope this turn, the vote will go into next turn. Maroni is eliminated, leaving only Migliorati, Maramaldo, and Mendoza to contest the papacy. Vote below. With nine votes, Maramaldo becomes Pope, taking the name '''Innocent VII. '''
