Some of these characters are like the Roadrunner. They just won't die.

What about the ones on Macau?

This state sounds like the sort of place where you wouldn't even get a gaming license without greasing some palms first.

Officially religious, but really corrupt as hell, yeah... you'd have to grease the palms.

I think last time I killed the Mafia Queen in all-out turf war. As she's been given writer upgrades into superpowerful wonderwoman and my character's been given writer downgrades into a weak little person who didn't realise he was in a Mafia town (who the hell opens a casino without doing their bloody research) -- presumably designed to make their character even more invulnerable and my character even more vulnerable... I guess I'll have to...

Go with UMN; the Mafia Queen sets off one of my traps. As for anyone who may follow her... My entire office, hell my whole casino, is filled with a maze of traps I can set off at any moment (my vulnerability was a ruse -- I always knew about the Mafia, but feigned ignorance in the hopes I'd never have to use my Mad SkillsTM). Moreover, I never have to leave my casino, as I am a Howard Hughes-like recluse.

I do not rehire Jack.

I want to know why I have a casino first.

It was a business investment :)

Do you take moral issue with gambling? Some people do.

I remember you said you’d have him clean toilets, but I don’t remember the shoving down part

I shove him into a toilet.

Yes, I do. Or at least with the people who use it to steal from people. Anyway, if I do have a casino, then I would rehire him because I don't know if I still have principles in this hypothetical.

If you had principles you wouldn't have the casino, might as well go all in and hire hitmen and gangsters.

Personally, I'd tell her to go stuff it. Jack didn't do his job, and he isn't getting re-hired. She can try to do what she wants, but she doesn't run shit in my establishment. :)

I wouldn't go that far, I don't think.

Why not? You could be a mafia boss!

It’s against Christian doctrine to hire back undeserving employees out of self interest? :)

It seems to be becoming an annual NSG tradition. Along with the re-executing of Nazi witches.

No, no. That's unnecessary. The Lord already has an army.

I suppose that if we're assuming that I don't have principles in the hypothetical, that would actually be a possibility. But I think that even then it wouldn't be something I could do.
