Why do I have the feeling that I will have to deal with Uritsky one of these days? That is if I don't get purged in Sokolov's purge of the NKVD.
Good question; truth is, I don't know (at the moment) if Uritsky will be a persistent character or not.

He is #3 in the NKVD, putting him just bellow Pasternak, and making him a threat to him. You mentioned that he is now head of security. I am wondering what that entiales, because I am in charge, or at least before Yagoda's death, of security for members of the Portburo. I just want to make sure he is not taking my jobGood question; truth is, I don't know (at the moment) if Uritsky will be a persistent character or not.

I could have been so many rubles richer if I wasn't a voting member. I might have been able to afford a car that doesn't breakdown.
Well, I imagine the NKVD is quite a mess right now, it probably is taking Sokolov, Uritsky, and me all working together to keep it functioning in some form.Counterespionage. You did read the update, right?
The question on everybody's lips, though, was how far would he go?
Privately, Stalin could not have been more pleased with Yagoda's assassination. While Stalin did not trust the Red Army, Yagoda had an irritating habit of actively stirring up discord between the NKVD and Red Army...

Why can't he? He did Stalin and the politburo a big favor.Very nice !!!! Shame Uritsky couldn't enjoy his rise to power !!!!!!
((Well, we had the majority to demote Yagoda anyways (and there's not much chance, that a guy demoted by popular vote get's ever promoted again). We just argued about the definite terms (as what to do with the NKVD, who get's what piece of the cake and so on).))Why can't he? He did Stalin and the politburo a big favor.
Wait, you wanted to humiliate a murderous sociopath and leave him alive? Are you insane? Or do you just have a death wish? You don't piss off someone like that and then turn your back on him. I put myself into his shoes while playing him, and even toned down I despised him. I know exactly what he would do in such a situation. I would rather be locked in a room full of cobras than do what you are talking about to someone like him.((Well, we had the majority to demote Yagoda anyways (and there's not much chance, that a guy demoted by popular vote get's ever promoted again).

EDIT: Also, he assasinated Yagoda. The practice of assasinating people someone doesn't like is the major reason why most people were upset of Yagoda.
Well, we cannot kill someone by vote ((I guess you would've chosen a new character anyways - playing as a candidate with that history shouldn't be much fun...))Wait, you wanted to humiliate a murderous sociopath and leave him alive? Are you insane? Or do you just have a death wish?
Actually, if I could have stomached him any longer, playing him in that situation would have been interesting. There would have been pure mayhem and multiple assassinations though. I was never much one for evil characters in the long haul. Not that I played Paladins by any means. I usually prefer Chaotic Good characters. Yagoda is pure Neutral Evil. The most amoral type around. At first I expected him to be Lawful Evil which is a little more palatable. I represented that by making and keeping alliances. Though Marshall sure was quick to step over my corpse. LOL. But as I delved more into the character, I could see that he was "lawful" only to the degree that he was held in check by Stalin. Once he/I felt Stalin turning against him, the amorality really started to bubble to the surface. That was when I began to withdraw from the character. Alkinsis is much more palatable. He is Lawful Neutral. A strict disciplinarian who has a job to do and wants it done right. He will most likely never rise above candidate status, but that is ok too.Well, we cannot kill someone by vote ((I guess you would've chosen a new character anyways - playing as a candidate with that history shouldn't be much fun...))
To be honest: The risk that Stalin only sentences Yagoda censure was too high for me.I'm sure we could have. The allegations were serious enough, the support was there to pass the guilty verdict, and I reckon Stalin probably would have gone for capital punishment.
Well, you cannot assasinate someone else than your own character...There would have been pure mayhem and multiple assassinations though. I was never much one for evil characters in the long haul.
