I'm not sure why Jon Valjean didn't just whip out the claws and shred everyone. Les Miserables was a confusing movie.

That joke was well received over here.

Ditto. What was worse is that he had the worst vocals in the movie.

Catwoman, a Vampire, a Witch, and a Gladiator were also in that movie, taking over wouldn't have been as easy as you think.

I don't understand The Godfather III.
Who is that Swiss guy and why does he get whacked?

Because someone has to get whacked

You aren't the only person who doesn't understand Godfather III

Since Mafia is about the uninformed majority (Town) versus the informed minority, and since my Random Generator give the majority more information than average, what is the better balance:

Give the Town the potential for 2x Role Block, Misdirect, and Tracker so the Mafia has a higher chance to get away with claiming one of those three since 2 townies would have to call them out.

Or

Allow the Janitor to also learn the role along with the character of their target, giving them more knowledge than average, as the Town has extra knowledge (the question would be if this extra knowledge for the Mafia would be too much in comparison to the extra knowledge of the Town).

Just got back from NYCC.

I'm getting old because I am pooped after a half a day of strolling the convention center.

He is the accountant who is the accomplice of the head of the Vatican Bank. They conspire to rob Michael Corleone of $600M, but they fail. Instead, they get whacked by the Corleones.

I know I've said this before, but weddings with an open bar are a very good time. About 55 people there, 17 of whom were children, and we had an awesome time. My son danced with both flower girls and it was a terrific time had by all.

Oh, and had a Fear Itself Month 5 today. I lost the last round because the other guy had map choice and Nerkkod. That piece is nasty under water. Was a great tourney nonetheless.

How did they plan to rob him?
Michael Corleone deposited $600M at the Vatican Bank to help them obscure their deficit. In return he expected to get the controlling vote of Immobiliare. They did not want to give him the controlling vote. Couldn't he just have withdrawn his money from the bank?
And who was behind killing the pope? And for what reason did the Corleone family try to save the pope?

Yeah, played in one Saturday, finished third (since the judge played, it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and fellowship) with Genis-Vell, Ant-Man (and a Wasp to morph into), Sin, and Valkyrie.

In other news, my father seems to be breaking down physically, and honestly... I have to think it's the alcoholism. And it's really just tearing me up, because I can't do anything about it. I mean, we've (my mother and I) had talks with him about rehab, but he just refuses to do it.

Sorry, I had to say it somewhere, and if I did on Facebook it'd get back to him in a New York Minute (or my relatives would gossip like hell about it).

I hadn't actually considered the town being able to bust claims based on knowing the set-up. I don't really know how to combat that.

I can totally relate, man. My dad has been slowly killing himself with booze for the last ten years. To the point that the docs can't believe he's still alive. His liver, kidneys, and pancrease barely function, and he bleeds from mroe places than normal. He even bleeds right through his skin on his really bad binges. It's not just me imagining how you feel. It's an every day reality. I'm sorry you have to go through it as well. be thankful that you have a brother to go through it with you. Mine is nearly as disfunctional as my dad.

Michael Corleone has recently bought up enough stock in International Immobiliare, an international real estate holding company known as "the world's biggest landlord", to become its largest single shareholder, with six seats on the company's 13-member board of directors. He now makes a tender offer to buy the Vatican's 25% interest in the company, which will give him controlling interest. Knowing that Archbishop Gilday, who serves as head of the Vatican Bank, has run up a massive deficit, he negotiates a deal to pay $600 million to the Bank in exchange for the shares. The deal is quickly approved by Immobiliare's board. However, it must be ratified in Rome by Pope Paul VI, who is gravely ill. Without his word, the deal is in limbo.

Michael tells his Nephew, Vincent to speak with Don Altobello (a secret traitor) and tell him that he is planning to leave the Corleone family. Altobello supports the idea of Vincent's switching his allegiance, and introduces him to Don Licio Lucchesi, a powerful Italian political figure and Immobiliare's chairman. Michael realizes that the Immobiliare deal is an elaborate conspiracy among Lucchesi, Archbishop Gilday, and Vatican accountant Frederick Keinszig to swindle him out of his money, and visits Cardinal Lamberto, the man favored to become the next Pope, to speak about the deal. It is assumed that Lamberto is favorable to Michael's cause.

After the death of Pope Paul VI, Cardinal Lamberto is elected Pope John Paul I, which means that the Immobiliare deal will likely be ratified. The new Pope's intentions come as a death knell to the plot against the ratification of the Immobiliare deal, prompting frantic attempts by the plotters to cover their own tracks. This is the reason that Cardinal Lamberto (John Paul I) is poisoned by his enemies.

(The $600M was a secret deposit to the Vatican Bank. The Corleones couldn't just wuthdraw the money without revealing that they were in fact purchasing the controlling interest in Immobiliare. They needed the Pope's ratification of the deal, hence Gilday and company wanted John Paul I to die and the Corleone family opposed them. Unfortunately, in the end, John Paul I did not survive, an element which is based on the stoty of the real life John Paul I - who was Pope for just 33 days before his death in 1978.)
