Version: 4.4
Involved families: Crew, Catania
article
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.
statements
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 ;)

There probably are more cheaters. They just didn't get caught yet. They'll get caught sooner or later and they'll be crying and blaming the admins for the fact they got caught cheating just like Catania does now.

Take it like a man.

I just cant understand how the crew can see if anyone uses Teamviewer.
Ok, the irc crewmember can idle invissible @ the top channels, so they can find info.
But when they find info about Teamviewer in that topchan, you still need to proof youre case.

To do so you need to login @ the teamviewer of the player. Then you can see the logs op ip's that made connection etc etc.

Only then the crew can really proof their case.

I dont know about other countries, but this is forbidden in the Netherlands.
Trespassing to get info is simply not allowed.

If i were the akilled player i checked the incoming IP's, if someone from the crew was trying to login... Omerta LTD is really screwed!

On the other hand Typical you are confirming that people are cheating. These people are doing it at their own risk and probably we all know that a lot of people are doing it, but noone is undertaking any action in the players community. Stop cheating use ur smartphone etcetera to login during a war. the only thing the admins did wrong imo is that they only killed of catania when there are probably a multitude of families deserving getting a-killed??. The way the admins get their information is illigal i agree but cheating is aswell and it is in the admins good right as owners of the game to kill off people. probably there isn't even written in the law that they need a justification for it?? i think thats just ethical.

I totally agree, if you cheat and you get caught, sry for you. Thats the risk. I dont like cheaters eigther. But sadly there are enough of them...

If the crew had another way to find out they were using and abusing Teamviewer, i said nothing.

Buth when they did i the way i said, that just aint cool. Trying to break in a pc, you got personal stuff on your pc etcetc

And yess, if there are other fams that cheat with Teamviewer, we see a lot more akills coming:D

what the fuck are you talking about breaking into other peoples pc? they just crosscheck irc logs

They aren't rly on your pc, they're just scanning the ports being used finding out one of em being TV. But like the guy below me said that's not solid proof that person is actually using the TV to get on that specific other persons pc with it ... There's prolly more like monotoring ingame msg and the irc check wheather someone is rly there and in the end find it enough evidence to at least make the assumption they where cheating.

It's not necessary to login on TeamViewer to get the IP address corresponding to a TeamViewer ID.
In other words, you don't even need the password. Simply the ID is enough to get the IP address.

Then again, this would only prove that there's an active TeamViewer installation behind that IP address. It's not necessarily proof for account sharing (since there are other reasons why you might use TeamViewer).

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. :))
"huggers", think again

You watched how many bloods die.... Made multiple cease fire agreements during multiple war this version. Then try to hug marrz balls like they don't have the largest hugging history of any fam that makes an impact on omertà. Bitch please keep them balls in your mouth to stay silent ;))

I think the point most people are missing is, IF they were cheating, why do the admins do this now?

- They could have done it anytime, yet they purposefully do it on the day when everyone knows there is going to be a war?

- They could have done it during the day, yet they do it at night when they know there is no high admin around to fix things or explain it, so the frozen players are just forced to wait around forever, ruining everyone's plans even more.

- Also when they do it at night, a majority of the players are going to be offline, so IF they think that these 3 players are cheating, why a-kill a whole family at night? Lots of players are going to be offline and famless until they log in, and as everyone knew it was going to be a war day, that set a lot of innocent people up to be killed by random families for money/KS.


And then of course as it has been mentioned several times and I've discussed it at length with people on IRC last night, how do admins even prove that someone is using teamviewer? The most possible way would be to use the server side logs of IRC channels, which would just be privacy invasion, which would explain why they refuse to show the "proof" they have. And as others have stated by now, if they can prove that people use teamviewer, why is there only 3 akilled players/1 akilled fam? Everyone knows that 90% of the spot owners use teamviewer, there is no other way to keep the protection at 100% 24 hours per day.

Overall it seems like an absurd attempt by the admins to affect the game, again.

Points 1 and 2 yes...time of akills were inconvenient to say the least.
Point 3 why the fam...that is another good question, i don't know how many of the tops are considered as "cheaters" but it looks that the new statement is: more than 50% of tops, down the fam goes.

They now punish a whole fam for a handful of "cheaters" in top positions.
If you join a cheating family you get punished...its the same with joining a car where the driver is intoxicated, yes he could drive you home, but you can as easily end up in a coffin too.
Trust is an important part.

I'm not here to judge any Catania (or other fam's) players, tops or not.

Having said that I am going to state that a lot of tops in this game have previously cheated or are still in some way cheating. Simply because of the fact that they (95% of them) are experienced players that have been playing for a while and have come in contact with things, it's just how it works.

Now apart from that...

Simple fact is when you started playing this game, registered your account... You agreed to a rule that states Admins can do whatever they want within the confines of this game at any time and dont have to explain anything to you if they don't want to.

Wether that's fair or not is pretty clear, it's not. But it's what's been happening for a long time already. Catania is not the first and I'm guessing will not be the last that was affected by this rule.

Then...

From what I've been reading it's pretty reasonable to deduct that Admins had been watching the 3 Akilled players for a while both on IRC and Ingame and decided to Akill them after they believed to have reasonable grounds to do so on. Again, pretty unfair as I understand it would rely a great deal on IRC and uptill now all IRC related proof has not been admissable as proof against players cheating, so pretty inconsistent by crew.

before a-killing that kind of a big family, i think crew thought about it for a long time.

off the topic i didn't appriciate catania's moves this version, when big fams starts to make a lot of mid-game or mid-war agreements, then this fam looses respect of their friends&enemies.

as an example i didn't see that much moves from conflict, so its a big family that people follow and listen with trust.

on the other hand you can expect nazd blooding or making as1 with an alive family in the middle of a version. and they will offer ceasefire in most of the situations

that difference makes a family big and respectful, and make a name for itself. some fams were in that category (gravano,catania) but they moved to that regular family class

as a side note: i like nazd crew and respect them personally, and what i wrote is not bashing
i understand your anger on cata
our ceasefire was only with cata and it was because of other bloods
in the other wars we shot till end
if u mean the past we only did one ceasefire and it was with your fam(xzone)
so plz dont say shitty things like this!!

EH sorry couldn't control myself. As a fidelitas top/member you just judge Gravano? God damn it.
Time to be retired for good manhell. It was biggest humiliation for you kanka.

i'm trying to make an objective comment, not with the view of a family. and i wasn't fide top anytime. and i'm not considering fide in the class of conflict.

gravano lost that respect when they blooded/dealt with jannis/ascension and more fams in the middle of the version, just to stay alive. if you have 6-7 strong bloods+their close bloods, you can direct 10 fams with your strong name. catania had 7 fams to shoot when they were attacked, there would be more fams that will shoot if that war was longer. you don't have to make lots of deal/sellouts with that type of power in your hand.

I agree, fucked up moment to a-kill :) and a bit anti climatic :] maybe they were investigating it through the day and wanted to a-kill them before they made any casualties that needed to be revived after. I don't think that the admins are TRYING to influence the game eventho it does happen at the worst possible moment. On the 90% of spotowners part.. We always text our capo's during the night. But then again.. we are in palermo.. not much shit happens there :D

Begin this year, admins said they were busy with a ''program'' to track TV users.
I guess they found out a way to do it, coz normaly they dont give a shit about logs.


Great program it is then :) since i see many fams / accounts alive that can check their spot protection every 30 minutes around the clock for over 4 weeks now! Guess they are zombies..


or they use fb msg or whatsapp or w/e to tell eachother go fix the spot, we do the same.
