Title: The Conclave of Wintreath: On the Prophethood of Dan Quayle
Post by: Crushita on February 07, 2018, 01:51:50 AM: ANNOUNCEMENT OF A CONCLAVE
An Announcement from the Apostolic Palace by His Eminence

HIS EMINENCE Crushita I, Potato Pope, has decreed that on February 9th a CONCLAVE shall be held to once and for all determine the truth or falsity of the Prophethood of Dan Quayle and finally end the great Potato-Potatoe debate. All interested parties are encouraged to announce their presence in this most holy of events here. May the HOLY SPUD show us all the truth of the matter and once again determine what is the proper doctrine of The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

In Starch
Crushita, Solarum Tublerosum Ecclesiae Episcopus

There IS food this time, right? Last time all we got were complimentary Conclave pens...but those aren't edible (believe me, I tried).

What in the name of Spud is "tater tot casserole"? Sounds like a true abomination.

That's practically shepherd's pie right there.

The kind they made when I was still in school was just really cheesy and with hamburger.

God I loved that stuff.

Post by: Crushita on February 10, 2018, 05:48:23 AM: *Looks at date*
Well. Its February 9th SOMEWHERE.

LET THE CONCLAVE BEGIN

The format shall go as follows: First those who are in favour of declaring Dan Quayle a prophet of the Holy Spud shall have 2 days to make their arguments. They shall do so in BOLD TEXT to differentiate arguments from the general chatter of the conclave. The side saying that Dan Quayle is a false prophet will then have two days to make their arguments, followed by a day of voting, to finally solve this question once and for all.

START. YOUR. THEOLOGYYYYYY
Title: The Conclave of Wintreath: On the Prophethood of Dan Quayle
Post by: BraveSirRobin on February 10, 2018, 05:38:34 PM: Esteemed theologians and fellow members of the College of Cardinals, I rise to speak of Dan Quayle, a man who, so moved by the spirit of Our Great Spud, on the 15th of June, 482 Anno Tuberosum, wrote the pious spelling of Our Starchy Majesty, the Tuber of Greatest Wisdom, Lord of the Fields of the Earth.

It is for this event of miraculous and divine intervention, that I stand before you today to urge the canonisation of the great Dan Quayle, and I propose a feast day of 15 June, in honour of this great achievement. But this is not the only time that the Great Potatoe has blessed Dan Quayle with wisdom beyond his years. After all, "My friends, no matter how rough the road may be, we can and we will never surrender to what is right."

And if, in this greatest of tasks, the Conclave does not canonise Dan Quayle, if we do not succeed,
we run the risk of failure. Thank you.

Post by: Crushita on February 19, 2018, 04:43:11 AM: With no votes, and only one argument I declare the issue to be... A matter of Rite and declare the official creation and sanctioning of separate Potato Rite and Potatoe Rite churches.

THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.

With no votes
Wait what? I thought you were going to open the voting or something?

Post by: Doc on February 19, 2018, 05:57:18 AM: Crush announced the order in which things would occur, instead of opening each phase with a statement. So...it was opened starting Feb 15th, and he actually left it open 2 extra days.
But...that was probably confusing for people who are used to people saying 'okay that was the Pro-Quayle arguments; now open the Anti-Quayle arguments' and so on.

Given the lack of posts, it appeared as if it were just inactivity on Crush's part. Especially since he delineated the format for the Quaylians to give their arguments when that began, but then never described how the anti-Quaylians would do so, nor how we were supposed to vote.

Post by: Crushita on February 19, 2018, 05:24:33 PM: With the current debate going on, I will open a vote on whether the conclave should continue and my previous decision be ignored, or if it should be upheld. It will last 2 days, closing on the 21st of February at 11:59 EST and will immediately come into effect at that point.

Wait if the voting is supposed to close at 11:59 why does the poll have a different time?

I seem to set it wrong! Just listen to the poll then.

Post by: Crushita on February 22, 2018, 05:50:40 PM: The people have spoken! We shall reopen the conclave.
Since there was so much time for Pro-Quayle arguments I now call upon arguments for all of those against the prophethood of Dan Quayle. They will have 2 days from this post to present their arguments.
Title: The Conclave of Wintreath: On the Prophethood of Dan Quayle
Post by: Crushita on February 26, 2018, 06:31:13 AM: Well I gave an extra day for anti-Qualyian arguments and nothing was presented!

There shall now be a public vote in this thread! All interested parties may cast one ballot for or against his prophet hood, keeping in mind the argument(s) presented! I of course, as pope, will not vote.
