WHOA! I never did my Pope Vibe for the new pope! Read and then enjoy the rest of this megathread.
Pope Leo XIV was a substitute teacher at your primary school and everyone LOVED it when he was in coz he'd draw animals you requested on the blackboard in a cartoon style and he was SO good at it.

An excellent thread on an interesting game in interesting times.
The brouhaha over the game Raid over Moscow illustrates this very well.
In 1985, #Finland was nominally an independent democracy with democratic institutions and freedoms, like freedom of speech.
But in reality, those freedoms were greatly circumscribed by fear, opportunism and self-censorship.
