    At least is was voted on in staff. I was hoping that the delay in a response meant that.

    Yes, I revolt against it, cuz it is corrupted by the real world! EoFF Religion should be free from reality! *starts protesting*
    Actually, an EOFF pope would be entirely free of religous affiliations so as not to affend anyone.

    The only thing I disagree with here is that I, personally, feel that each pope should get thier own second account, as opposed to having one. That way, all of the Popes user profiles can be accessed even when thier papacy is over.
    Asking for one allowed second account wa hoping for a lot. ( You can see it got denied ) Multiple people with second accounts stood no chance as far as I could tell.

    I don't think there needs to be a second account. Second accounts are only used for keeping track of the major awards, and I'm not sure what this pope account would be doing outside of posting, something you really only need one account to do.
    The Popes official job would be of course to congratulate members who win in contests in a silly way of formal recognition. Other than that, a second account would be useful simply because even though it has no real power such as the staff does, it could be considered an official position. True all it could do is post, but thats all the other second accounts do too. They do it in an official position as the one who runs the elections or Ciddies or so forth. It most certainly will have nothing to do with any "real world" religous aspects, but instead lead the community here at EOFF.

    it's an interesting idea, but what if the member gets tired of using the Pope screen name?
    Another reason for a second account. They can post as their regular self with their regular account and use the Pope as the "Official spokesperson". If they get tired of being the Pope then it would only take a PM to staff to get sniped early. Staff only steps in to make the decision to snipe when they feel a new Pope is needed.

    It won't be anything official. No special title or usergroup, no second account, etc. Sorry.
    If the case I proposed doesn't change your minds then please just say no again.

    It wasn't voted on in Staff (that would be an even longer delay) because we generally don't get involved in these kind of things. You'll also note staff has nothing to do with the Ciddies, the EoFF Elections, etc... we only get involved when it's something to do with rules. Also, we've discussed giving "official non-staff positions" recently (within the last two months or so) and the idea was rejected. Also, I personally can't see any real point in this, as you said "they can only post, that's all second accounts do" - that is exactly why 90% of second accounts get banned. Only AG & EB are excluded due to the massive amount of PMs they receive for their respective events. The only other second accouts that are authorised are used by admins to test usergroups - I think only clout and I have one each as far as I know.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    It was worth a try. It felt nice posting with intelligence too.

    I would win. My wholesome username would get me the conservative vote, while my avater (being a robot, shows I suppost progressive advancments) would get me the liberal vote.

    I don't the that he realizes that there already is and EoFF sniper. It was before his (and my) time here. At least, I think that's the case.

    You forced me to read the whole damn thread including those freaking long posts. There were no clear indication that you are pope!

    So I can be pope!

    Things got a little HECTIC. That time is one of my all time favorite memories of EOFF, and everyone involved seemed to be having so much fun. And while it may look like Flying Mullet took over the papacy, he never came through with his plans to succeed me.

    There is no more home in this wasteland! Only despair while you sit on your big fat throne (and most likely peeking out from your fancy window like some creep) doing nothing!

    I call for a vote of no confidence!
