Omerta held their breath as there seemed to be a second massive war in the air for the second consecutive day. But all that changed, when the "That family doesn't exist" messages started to be /amsged. Catania was downed.
But no players were involved. It were the admins that killed Catania. By killing 1 GF and 2 CDs they brought down the family in 1 ferocious swoop. Leaving Catania and pretty much the rest of Omerta stunned.

Ari (Top Marazzino): This is not the first time admins having an influence in this game in a bad way, they made several families retire and just added another great one to the list. Its just a shame how this game is operated when its already loosing more players version after version. The arrogance and the attitude is unbearable. Thank you for a great version Catania, you will be missed _O_
All famless Catania members are protected, if we find ws you and your family will pay for it ;)

I uses for 1... They shouldnt invite noobs into there family... Then make them capo on top of inviting noobs to join them. 2 instead of cease fire agreements. Try firing bullets at your targets and not hugging each other's balls to survive. Even if this fam were to end a version surviving... How can you even remotely call yourselves winners and not huggers??? Please explain HDMD??? Lol :))) I remember you made "blacklist" fam in 3.0... You atleast died with honor then. Can't say the same about this shit fam. Gl to you in the future versions bro. :))

The fact that they akill our don and both successors indicates they have no proof at all. (...) The fact that it's not even open for discussion only shows how corrupted and unfair they are and what has become of this game.

Why does this show they have no proof at all? Maybe they could only find proof against these three players. I don't see no reason at all to support your view on this, anyway. Also, if admins have something they consider proof of cheating, there's nothing to be discussed from their point of view - and from the point of view of most omerta players. It has been like this for ages and history just proves those who got akilled are those who manage to shout the most.

So, since everyone has been asking how TeamViewer usage could've been proven, here are some theories:
Teamviewer ID leaked to admins
Port scanning
Anyway, I'm still concerned about this and hope they didn't just akill those accounts on a whim. Using TeamViewer is no proof of account sharing. There's no rule against using TeamViewer (or comparable software) and there are a lot of legitimate reason.

The remarks made by H`HMD might be useful here. It seems admins have been cross-checking IPs/ports used for ranking, IPs/ports used on IRC and users actually present on IRC (by checking the Capo-channel) at several points in time to confirm some suspected information about an IP or port used by tv. Fairly interesting.

why let them survive when H`HMD said they were gonna shoot prov tonight? They will do it soon or later, prov needs to react to this and kill them.

All people that have a little respect wont shoot at famless people now... We all know who big admins fucked it up... Let the people join familys and let the game continue...
Great tops will send family msg to fam members not to shoot people now...
I think its a sort of honor code... since admins are fucking playerbase all the time... we have to stick togheter in this sort of situation, and all tell them this isnt the game we know from the past...

I guess this is where we say goodbye. Regardless of whether anyone beliefs it was justified or not, allow me to explain where we stand.
This afternoon crewmembers started joining and leaving our capo channel. I went to #help myself to ask for an explanation and what they answered it 'we are investigating you, we will not tell you why'.
We were ready to shoot tonight, and would have done it if all of a sudden the don (myself) and our successors got frozen. Yet again I went to #help to ask for an explanation and they answered 'we caught your family abusing teamviewer, we will not show you any proof or discuss it and akill the family'. You saw what happened after that.
The fact that they akill our don and both successors indicates they have no proof at all. The exact moment our family is taken down is questionable as well. The fact that it's not even open for discussion only shows how corrupted and unfair they are and what has become of this game.
A personal thank you to everyone that has been a part of Catania, i apreciate it.

anyway, if it is like u said, idk what the fuck admins are doing here...

rip, see ya \o

So, since everyone has been asking how TeamViewer usage could've been proven, here are some theories:
Teamviewer ID leaked to admins
There could be a lot of scenarios leading to this. Either someone leaked IRC logs to the admin or the admins were actively monitoring IRC or ingame messages for this kind of information (though I do not believe this would be legally permissible).
Given the Teamviewer ID, it would be possible for the admins to find out the IP address of the user (even without connecting and knowing the password, as long as TeamViewer is still running).
They could then check accounts who've been accessed with those IP addresses - aaand busted! :)
Port scanning
I'm not sure about this one, but it might be possible that TeamViewer is listening for connections on a specific port. Admins could then scan those port(s) to check whether TeamViewer is accepting connections.
This would probably only work if the PC is connected directly to the internet without some kind of router and/or firewall in between.
Anyway, I'm still concerned about this and hope they didn't just akill those accounts on a whim. Using TeamViewer is no proof of account sharing. There's no rule against using TeamViewer (or comparable software) and there are a lot of legitimate reason.
People might be using it to bypass their company's proxy which blocks sites like barafranca.com (by connecting to their home PCs through TeamViewer). Or they use it to access Omerta from their phones because Omerta isn't working on the mobile browser (that's the case on one of my old phones, for example).
And then there's the spot owner situation. I claim that it's basically impossible to keep any high-profit spot running for more than, say, 1-2 days without either sharing or scripting (unless you somehow manage to survive without getting any kind of sleep). So there's definitely work to be done in that area.
