Split Papal Votes?

[LorDBulA]

Yea this is funny.
When my cardinal was running for Pope i tried secure Votes of Poland and France (both my allies) using cash. But there where totaly not responsive to my proposals.
So imagine my surprise when i got all Poland votes (many cardinals there) and half of France votes and my Cardinal was elected new Pope (it was my first Cardinal in council by the way).
Thats totaly stupid. If you are going to vote for me anywhay why not take the money?

I had the same issue in a papal election; I tried to get my ally Milan to vote for me (I didn't realize that if they were allied with you and didn't have their own candidate they would vote for you) by promising a big chunk of cash, and they refused, breaking our alliance. But they voted for me anyway.
