18-01 Doping in Omerta?!

Involved families: Lucchese, Righelli
article
Bugs Bugs Bugs?!

We just saw a few akills, which downed Righelli & Lucchese. So OBN started investigating what happened, speaking with some people to find out exactly what happpened.

A Top from a an unnamed family told OBN that he abused several bugs in Omerta. He only told Beyond about 2 in specific, but there are way and way more he told us. But these are the most used.




1. Bloodbank bug → When you have for example 99% health and you would go to the bloodbank and add the following DOM value in the input field "100e-2" you would end up with 199% health!

Here we have to ask, how long is this going on? Are there more families who knew about this? And what if they had all their members at 199% health, they just wouldn't be able to be brought down. I think of yesterdays war where tops of the attacking families state that Righelli highranks for example just didn't die. Same goes for countering families that said it was impossible to kill Messina accounts, while Messina was an agressor in the war, thus needing to have attack BG setups.

We have no proof here, but these are our first thoughts of course. We are not pointing any fingers!

2. Hitlist bug → So you want to hitlist a person but you don't have the required money? Another simple solution! If you would fill out "100e+6" in the input field you would hitlist a person for $100 million omerta dollars and it would only cost you $100 omerta dollars. Sounds like a fair deal to me!

We saw a lot of Messina people who got hitlisted a few days ago, and i think opponents of Messina may have used this bug to hitlist them.




Update: Some reporters saw, especially this version, rather weird bumps of money ingame. It was suddenly way higher than it ever was. An abuser explained to us how they did this.

They looked for a target, when they found him, they put this person on the hitlist and shot inmediatly. → free money!

Update²: If this is possible in the input fields at the Hitlist and the Bloodbank. Is it also possible to fill these codes in at all other input fields? If this is true it would mean that every aspect with an input field of the game could be abused by this bug. SH Time, Bullets used to shoot, Gambling, EVERYTHING.


We recieve images and logs from everyone that the bugs are also used to get extra RP and more bullets from the local factory then allowed.

A anonymous person showed me he bought 1337 units of beer as swindler and gained about 30% rank progess!

Another showed an image where he bought 10.000 bullets from the local factory. → http://i46.tinypic.com/2d7wqix.png




Should we start doubting at omerta and the "winners" of omerta the last few versions?




Lance Armstrong came clean yesterday, he told Oprah he used forbidden substitutes to perfom better and win the Tour de France. Did certain families also used these "methodes/substitutes" to win a version? or came out as winner in certain wars?

My last post under this topic

I will start wit my family RIGHELLI ( yes i am very proud of that )

Yes, we had 4 people who abused bugs amongst 145. Yes some were tops amongst 10 tops and no our love for them didn't decrease beacuse of this. Cheating, bugs have always been part of the game sşnce omerta was first launched. Obay, blood, garage, poker, casinos, pillory etc... Don't hate the players for using them, cheating is part of life in many ways, it sometimes getting infront of the line on ticket box. But blame it on incapable crew for letting people constantly cheating. Akill are right for sure, but i don't give a damn to them. It doesnt change the value of ppl in my eyes.

Those who pretend as bug abusing happens or the first time on omerta, although their members have been doing this for versions re just hypocrites. I don't see any family around which is whiter than white.

Righelli will always be righelli, this won't change anything for me as the rest of righelli people think alike. Those who vommits their hate in our pms with fake nicks on irc, and those who re from one certain family, dont blame us for your failure and dont pretend as big boy after blooding more than half omerta.

Anyway, don't reset the game, first figure out the other bugs cause there are some other families to akill:)

Ps: for those who blame 2 families for everything, bugs weren't figured out by those people, they just paid to get info about it. Like i said before after scripts this is new way of making rl cash for some people. Last version i was offered by a guy whose nick starts by P and ends with M, to buy ometa cash in exchange of rl cash and many big families from last version bought cash from him.

Profestum?
hes been cheating for many version yet he still allowed to play here. shame on you admins :r

The bug works for everything that has an input field. Seen pics and logs of ppl using it on other versions, buying alot more than 1k at LBF and also buying rather large amount of booze/narck wich gives alot of cash and alot of rp.

I dunno the basics but 4 abuse is more than enough dude
I see 100 fuckin million dollars mentioned up there
4 people makin it once = 400 million
thats more than enough for every single highrank in a fam

"ps:" there are also people selling drugs, you don't have to use it
you should call the cops/admins instead :'D

then what if those people who happen to sell the drugs are your close friends, would you call the cops on your own friend dude? thats low really low

haha, you're right, dude, thats what's "really low" in this whole story :'')
I cant argue with such logic :')
but if you think on it some more, I'm sure you'll realise how pathetic that was

which story? i was only talking about the point where this game was related to real life, where it seems you would rat on your close friends, which in my point of view is low :)

but thats being some kind of misdirection :)
main point should be how some people fucks the game and players (versions over versions, probably)

and anyway if that was the case, your friend should go fuck himself and you should find some new decent friends who doesnt think on "how can I gain smth for myself through fucking/harming other ppl" (:

I'm kind of new to this, but what exactly is ROM and what does it do?


ROM means "reset-o-metter", and players can vote wether or not to reset the version and start a new one. Have fun :)
Ahh thanks, any idea where I can vote? :D

Side bar, it should appear under "Vote of the Day". Ironically, it's not working...because of a bug.

I know this is a CRIME game. But then again, there are limits to crime and cheating. That's why it is called Omertà. There is a freaking code of honor that should be respected by every family playing, and that code was broken when cheat money and fake bullets started circulating all over.

Yesterday lots of players were killed, and the same happened in the day before. If Righelli and Lucchese are proven to have cheated, do the players they killed during both wars deserve revive? And what about the players in those families who weren't using bugs and made their moves rightfully? And what if the players killed were also using bugs and the admins didn't notice (which is perfectly believable at this point!)? We can't go on with the game as if nothing had happened and we cannot revive everyone. So, yes, I vote for a reset, a tighter code for next version, and may the best one win fairly :)

RIP to all.

Also, with these many bugs, and following comments where people say they PAID REAL CASH for them, how can we be sure the crew wasn't involved in this side business?

I think there werent actually that many people abusing the bug. The only thing that makes it significant was the fact that most of the abusers were tops of fams

Oh ffs. This thread is painful to read. The Omerta news post was also painful to read.

Bugs/Hacks are really nothing new >.< Remember someone hacked the game n was giving or taking peoples money as they wanted a few versions ago and admins never gave it back? There was a bug with lackies at some point too where they didnt fire properly or something also. Vaffanculo were accused of bugs/cheating in 3.0 and 3.1 and mass a-killed for it.

For me there was a few major points to take from this whole episode.
1. The omerta code is both extremely bugged and poorly written, but no one has the effort nor cares enough to fix it (this goes with the KA argument too).

2. Its a common known fact that if there is a bug people will abuse it. I read a post on the WoW forum about people killing raid bosses by using terrain to evade their attacks completely, or freezing over 60 adds at once etc. It happens. People are creative in solutions. But it really shows that no one was watching the game to see that hey the money just jumped 100m, oh look 199% health. Total complete admin ignorance. Surely anyone who was paying any attention to how the game went would have seen this. How can it be possible in the first place to allow health over 100%?

3. And the ROM is back up. Yay we akilled half of you so lets reset so you can buy more dcs to rank back on par with everyone else. *sigh*. This game is completely doomed.

This pretty much is the best post I've seen in this topic.

I wonder if in the next days will there be more akills. Obviously these bugs were being used by several fams, and mainly the tops of fams. I wonder if the admins can only catch the bug use if it is actively being done, or can you go back and see what the accts have done in the recent past. Someone dimed out righelli and lucchese, but it's fairly well known now that some other fams were also involved. So they akills stop here or will there be some house cleaning? This could end up so nasty that a reset would be needed. Omerta needs to fix these bugs that have been circulating now for multiple versions...
