This group existed throughout the Soviet era and continues today throughout the republics of the former Soviet Union.

Thieves' Code of Conduct - There is a traditional code of conduct within this old style of organized crime in Russia called " Vory v Zakone," or thieves in law. It is quite possible as organized crime has changed in Russia, so has the structure of these groups. Strategy and planning is done only at the top echelon in order to minimize the risk of detection.Īccording to law enforcement sources, those structures described above would fall into the old style of Soviet criminal enterprises.
Street operators are not privy to the identity of their leadership.
At the bottom of the structure are criminal cells specializing in various types of criminal activity or functions such as drugs, prostitution, political contacts, and "enforcers." A similar structure places an elite leadership on top which is buffered by support and security personnel from the street operators who are commifting the crimes. The principle behind this structure is to minimize contact with other cells that could lead to the identification of the entire organization.Įach boss, called a " pakhan," controls four criminal cells through an intermediary called a "brigadier." The boss employs two spies that watch over the action of the brigadier to ensure loyalty and that he does not get too powerful. Knowledgeable sources within the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) 12 have provided one model of the structure of groups in Russia. 11 Organized crime groups in Russia are not nearly as structured as those in the U.S., such as the LCN. Although Russian authorities have currently identified over 5,000 criminal groups in that country, Russian officials believe that only approximately 300 of those have some identifiable structure. These groups were comprised of an estimated 100,000 members with a leadership of 18,000. 6.Russian Organized Crime Groups and Structure in Russia - In early 1993, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs reported there were over 5,000 organized crime groups operating in Russia.6.7K Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition.403 Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition.88 Persistent Worlds & Multiplayer for NWN (not EE).392 Custom Content & Community Exp Pack.Um, yes, so, I reluctantly choose the Shadow Thieves. They are symptoms and symbols of everything that is wrong in the world, including in our real world. Vamps are unnatural, horrible, abominations. Sometimes, I am tempted to play a cleric just for the fantasy of epic level Turn Undead, where I can activate my holy symbol and make vamps of Bodhi's level and below explode just by looking at them. Ironically, as implemented, BG wolfies are probably about the most helpless class you could play against vamps. I would enjoy playing BG as a wolfie, if that class had special attacks against vamps.
In Twilight, or especially in True Blood, I would probably be one of the wolfies. In the fantasies of Buffy and Angel, I am Buffy, and in Twilight, the Vampire Diaries, True Blood, or Anne Rice, I make up my own character who destroys the vamps at will. In the Dracula fantasy, I play Van Helsing.

I often use the Alternatives mod to avoid the issue, which also gives me the pleasure of destroying both the thieves and the vamps.īut, if I must choose, I hate vamps! As in, I consider them ultimate evil corrupters, tempters, Faustian dealmakers, sell-your-soul-to-the-devil, give-in-to-your-darkside, succumb to their sex appeal and commit murder every night forever so you can be with your Maker, horrors! I'm not fond of the choice of having to "choose the lesser of two evils", as presented by SoA.
