Most fun I have had while playing a TW game

[TheDarkKnight]

So I am playing as England and I have a cardinal that's fairly low on the list. I have an assassin that's in the general area of Rome, so I send him down there to have a bit of fun. I actually managed to assassinate the Pope, but obviously I can't get my guy in yet, so I vote for my preferred one. He doesn't get it, so I decide to assassinate the new pope and repeat. My preferred guy doesn't get in, so I assassinate again, and again, and again...I killed seven Popes in a row, and only missed an assassination attempt once. It's down to five cardinals cause the new Popes didn't have enough time to promote any priests to the position of Cardinal.

Finally, I managed to realize that the reason my guy wasn't getting in (after eliminating the preferati that I had preferred with another assassin) was because Milan, who had two votes (out of now five cardinals) was at war with me. I made peace, managed to get my relationship with them to "perfect" and guy was finally elected.

Would this be considered cheating? Lol. My question is, what would have happened if I had kept going and assassinated every last cardinal and the Pope...?

Anyway, what other fun things have people done in messing with the game?

the pope seat remains vacant until a new cardinal is in place. he immediately becomes pope then.

But how is a new cardinal appointed without a pope to appoint him?

Just the rich tapestry that is TW...

[Adamat]

whenever there's a priest with piety 5+ and a vacant seat, he becomes cardinal. If a pope is to be chosen from the college of cardinals, the next one will automatically be cardinal, since he's the only one who CAN vote and only for himself. So the pope will be that cardinal then.

My assasins are always positioned in north italy. Thats where are the princesses, generals, diplomats, priests all go through. They could have a field day there.
