While the general appears to perhaps...at least according to his own estimation...invincible...he is clearly not omnipotent as well.
With the friars we have two seemingly investigative powers from the third party non capulet/montehue families. It would stand to reason that there are two lethal third party members as well (the poison dude in the play that gives the poison to romeo and the prince who seems to wield judgement over life and death).
More on the general's invincibility in a minute...but I think dazza claiming friar john may not have been as "retarded" as she has tried to lead us to believe and the claim that the two friars are not connected to each other would be a deviation in this mafia game from Shakespeare's play.
Friar Lawrence gives Juliet a poison to induce her into a deep sleep that looks like death to help get her out of the city. Friar Lawrence then sends Friar John to give Romeo a message that Juliet is sleeping...not dead...but Friar John is too slow...Romeo never gets the message...and Romeo Kills himself...just before Juliet awakes from her potion induced sleep...and Juliet then promptly kills herself with Romeo's dagger.
I apologize to every who knows the story or has looked it up...but I thought a brief summary was in order here to back up my suspicions that the Friars are not linked. In the play they are considered close friends. I'm sure zimmah took liberties with the story to make this work...but it seems something to watch as we move forward.
general's invincibility....
I tend to believe his invincibility claim if he is friar Lawrence (since no counter claims to this point i would probably say that's going to hold up). Friar Lawrence is the last man standing who is the only one to witness the tragic deaths and the only one who knew all of the parts leading up to the end. He is the one retelling the story to the Prince...and to the Capulets and Montegues at the very end.
Therefore I think it is a waste of a vote to vote general...and I would love to hear some more from folks before making a case against anyone. While it seems like the general is combining his role in this mafia game with another mafia game where his role was "town asshole"...I buy his story.
