Just Another Papal States AAR

[Jonny]

I'm back from my trip, but now I have school, so I don't have that much time anymore. Now, here's an interesting little interlude.

Interlude

"Advisor, you have done well leading the nation while I have been on the field. You are now the Grand Governor of the Papal States," said the Pope to the Advisor.

"Is that good or bad?" asked the Advisor.

"Well, you're basically in control of the country, but you need a new advisor."

"Where am I going to get the new Advisor?"

"I have an idea! Charles, bring them in!"

Charles walks in the room with three men behind them. "It's time to play the Advisor Game!" Charles announced. "Here we have 3 men from around Europe that want to become the Advisor to the Grand Governor of the Papal States."

"Okay," the Grand Governor said. "Advisor #1, who did you work for?"

"King Splangy of Saxony."

"Advisor #2, same question."

"King Splangy of Saxony."

"#3, same question."

"King Henry of Navarra."

"Okay, #1, what is your favorite saying?"

"Hurry up, tea time's 3 o'clock."

"#2?"

"PaNtS ArE FuN!!!"

"#3?"

"Doo Dee Do Da Daa"

"Okay. #3, what is your favorite ratio of Infantry to Cavalry to Cannon?"

"1:1:1"

"#2?"

"3:0:1:3"

"What's that fourth number?"

"ThE NuMbEr Of PaNtS."

"#1?"

"3:1:0"

"I have made a decision," announced the Grand Governor. "I pick #2!"

Charles says, "Congratulations! You have picked an insane Saxon to be your advisor!"

The Grand Governor says, "What have I gotten into?"

Hoodyhoo!
You have made the right decision! Now nothing stands between you and world dominance!
The world is your playground, noble leader.

I was going to update the AAR Tuesday, but because of the tragic events of that day, I spent my time watching the news instead. I also had lots of homework. In the next 24 hours, there is a 99% chance that there will be an update, and probably a screenshot as well.
