11-01 Bad Blood - Lucchese's pledge

Version: 4.5
article
Today a member of the Lucchese top approached the OB news team with a proposal to improve the quality and longevity of versions. How you might ask? Well he states that Lucchese will only blood 4 families this version. Last version was probably the shortest version in Omerta's history and arguably an all time low point for the game, leaving many players wondering 'why even bother?'

Regardless of that, Lucchese is calling out other top families to limit their blood dealings in order to promote a more diverse game with a multitude of different sides. Families should also be encouraged to list their bloods on their fam page again as it was in the past.

We at OB news wanted to know how other families and players feel about this? Are you in?

Of course we realise there is no way to police such a concept, however after some discussion around the OB table we propose a rating system, similar to scores of war, designed to shine a light on those families, whose toxic game play & blooding is proving detrimental to the game.



Here's how it works.

For example;

Fams #1 - #3 = 4 points
Fams #4 - #7 = 3 points
Fams #8 - #11 = 2 points
Fams #11 - #20 = 1 point
Fams #20+ = 0.5 points

For example if I am a top 3 family and I blood family #5, Family #10 and Family #15 my bloodline is at 10 points, understand?

How many points is too many? In our opinion top 3 families should be rivals not friends.



Q) But what if my bloods grow and move up the rankings? That's not my fault right?

A) Of course not. If that happens then you've obviously played well and achieved success together which is the aim of the game. This is targeted at families who blood many big families with the intention of locking the game.

This is just an example to get people thinking. We are including a poll in this article in which we ask the player base to vote for values they consider acceptable.

At the end of the day Omerta is largely shaped by the player base. Admins can change the game but nothing will change unless the players are willing to change their attitudes. The bottom line is if you want to enjoy a fun, fair and competitive game again you will have to agree, as a COMMUNITY, to certain rules that allow versions to run longer and less one-sided.

Let us know what you think in comments below. If your family agrees with the sentiments of this article and want to put your name forward, like Lucchese, please contact an OB reporter in #News.





Gsbaba (Justice alliance top) Firstly, we are happy about the propose of the Lucchese. But to be honest, what about alliances? What about non-shooting deals, secret bloodings, pacts ? In our opinion, im sure when a war appear, for example, 4 fams joined which are bloods of each other and what about bloods of bloods? This attacking families number always reach 10 fams. So, my friends that means it will not effect to length of version. Other than this , If we all want a longer versions we must ask admins to remove that ks shit. It alienate people who are new in the game. We all know that lone families are getting targeted cuz of this shit ks. Additionaly , i will say sths about scripting too. People who are in firsts pages are abusing busting. In the past it was honorable work. We know admins cant do shit about scripting and we are suggesting that the rps which are gaining from busting should be removed.

Trza (Kurosawa top) 1.First of all I'm very pleased that for the first time in the history of Omerta players of this game are finally asking for something. Omerta as a game in some way has long been "extinct" in respect of all the players who play, a large number of players stopped playing and each version of the game are deacrising .Desile are the sorts of things were introduced henchmen, were various cheats starting from scripts, scratch / scratch to the fact that one version was reset in less than a month, because some acount had 200 helte and more.

2.I believe that together, our players who really play Omerta, which powers our games, our of which depends on the game, that we can and must do something to make the player finally feel the spirit of the game.

3.When I saw the proposal Luchesse family was pleasantly surprised simply because I saw it as a first step, that is the first attempt to change something. Proposal from family Luchesse is very good , try to extand the version . It is one of the most important reasons why my family supported this. Limiting the Bloods minimum number is not too bad suggestion, but we all know that it is impossible to achieve this , no one will be able to to influence that gave one family to have 4 or 10 Bloods. Bloods it's a free choice and free will , but the goal is to extend the version is something primary , which would be all of us players were to benefit . I’m personally sick of it that one version is just so much to all ranking to bruglione and ends after 2 to 3 wars , especially now that is made a "new system " Omerta , where now the attached, and we can notice that the manual acount means more the lackey acount also again have Capodecine. To became Capodecina in caporegime there must be a certain number Worth regime . As we still say that they need active players to capo each individual has to lobby for their caporegim , It must attract the game new players , good players and not dupe acounts , because now with the new system, 5 manuel active players in caporegim worth a lot more than 20 empty dups.

4.I have also read a proposal from Gsbaba where they are to lift the killing skills to prolonged version, I think it also is not bad proposal, however, want to attach myself on this proposal. I think it would be better to reduce the criterion killing skill, for one shooting to give 0.5% or even 1% , so it would be reduced ks farm because it would be necessary to kill some 20 acc to have 20% KS, which is very difficult and requires a lot of time, money and bullets. Also in this way it would be wars for a longer period of time where we all get time and also returns to a common purpose, to prolong version.5.There is a problem within the current games such as cities. All focus is on one city Detroit. In Detroit, the big money is, they are all fighting for the city while the other cities to remain in the shadows because they can not make good economic profit. I think that admins must urgently do something about the issue. My personal suggestion is to introduce increased RP in traveling . But there is some minimal rp when you travel to another city but that% RP is very small, even though she is smaller than a bust-out. I think that if the increased % rp per trip, thus players would become much more active, because everyone wants to have a strong acount, to other cities resurrected depending on the price of drugs and drink.And those who do not want to have a strong ACC can continue to sit in Detroit.

6.I also have to point out some things that happened in the last version. Last edition we have family that won Aeterna version and personally I want to congratulate them on that. But one thing I did not like tof Aeterna. Within this family played Righelli, vaffanculo, Yalta members, Luchesse members, Messina memebrs, venture (fidelitas) members etc ... I understand why so played by them, jump to Capodecine and caporezim, the joint forces had many strong family. Worthof family and Worth capo and thus were more stronger .But it was a very bad example to the other players, because it can happen this version to a dozen families unite in 2-3 family, what we all get then? Again the short version where it will take place a maximum of 2 war and everything will be ended .I remind you once again that I believe that everyone should strive for a common goal to extend the VERSION.If we rule combined in 1 family that will not happen.

7.I wanted to also take this opportunity to address the OB news reporters . From the supplied I see that the author of this article `` Donau Sixx. Name article is "Bad Blood - Lucchese's Pledge" I think `Donau` Sixx that this title is very bad from the simple facts: -in this way the family Luchesse sticks out so much, and will not support the simple spite, complex, maybe some family at war with Luchesse and it is also one of the reasons why the public would not have sounded so here ... -just as I am sure that the family Luchesse not need any kind of marketing, because they are many years in this game and most of the players had heard of them Because of these facts but largely you can notice in the comments sentences like "Luchesse Admin family" "Luchesse trying to get out of upcoming war" etc etc ...
And all this is not abouth Luchesse,it is abouth players of Omerta Because of this `` Donau Sixx i think that article titlle should be changed. If we want to all the families and players to join here and support one goal, and that is to prolong versions. It also does not need to ignore the family Luchesse first one made up on the subject and take the initiative.

8.To emphasize once again that I am very happy to be finally happening drastic changes within the games and that these changes will be better for the players. The goal of extend version should be primaryto us all. To stop us from throwing our money every month. That our players / Members feel the spirit of the game, and stopped to get tired in the short version, to give them the motivation and desire to play and to Omerta as games finally came to life .To this Kurosawa gives its full support and also wants to rest family join it, to jointly make better things for players and the game. WE WANT the long version.

Kurosawa family.

I agree with Gsbaba about the rp on bustouts. Don't even try to convince me that you did your 100k busts manually.

Exactly! Kill the bustscript Omerta and open your eyes to what is actually humanly possible. Take away where busters can make rp, awards, the 5k and 10k where you bust yourself and someone else out, the gf advantage to busting, etc. and see how many people will actually keep that script on lol. Sadly you wont though because you will never admit your lackey addition many version ago was a complete failure to this game and all it accomplished was an incentive to massive duping, a failed game and a script you refuse to get rid of or deal with the people who are using it.

Oh yea Gsbaba, nice post I agree. As much as lucchese is a trademark name, a fool would trust this family. They had their share of duping proxy abuse and scripting like most other fams, now they want to come here acting self righteous to save a game they molested on their own. (Should be a compliment, it's a crime game). Well that was fun, I hope I make more fantasy text faggots get jumpy with my posts (k) :p

You rascal!

I prefer to be called a Goonie around here, I'll even do the truffle shuffle .
But rascal works.

Oh yeah I agree with everyone, we're all lazy faggots with virtual tommyguns, but why?

@Gsbaba - "People who are in firsts pages are abusing busting." Yes, there are for sure some who do, but not all. Accusing EVERYONE just exploits your ignorance about the subject. I can say I know 100% there are multiple people on the first page that DO put in the work to bust manually and DO NOT script. It's not easy hanging with the scripts, but it IS doable. So to be fair, unless you KNOW and have PROOF of such accusations, you shouldn't speak on it. If you wanna have a top 20 RP account, i suggest you invest in ray level 10 special, sell some dcs and clear your schedule. Don't hate those that have the time to play because you do not. Fucking idiot.

Some admin invervention is gonna be needed to fix the shitty game experience we've reached.

* Limitate KS farming by giving KS only if the target was in a fam with certain fam-worth.
* Make busting a play style again instead of a ranking resource, mainly script-abused.
* Foment re-ranking by inheriting a high % of b&n experience on rebirth

And please, find a way to encourage people to travel.
When lackeys were first introduced, noodles started stealing cars at Detroit by default, regardles the city the gangster where, so every OC/MOC/Heist happened there. I find it very lame, not just in the objets profits, but also in the every day gameplay.

Once again for everyone who thinks the people not following through with the idea of this will mean it doesn't work - you're wrong.
It's not a bad thing that secret pacts/agreements and of course whatever else is discussed between families exist and happen - this idea is about getting families to agree to a GUIDELINE, a honorary code, a morality of what is "acceptable" - if then a family goes way out of line or decides to break that code to win a version they CAN, it's FUN, it's ALLOWED - but it is game breaking if EVERYONE does it.

So what does this article mean then?
Get everyone to realise that if every family does it, the game will die out.
Set the standard of blood back to something everyone thinks is not game-breaking, and go from there. Any family still mass blooding or making secret pacts etcetera can be dealt with once everyone actually agrees to what is acceptable and what is not.

MORALITY people, it's a concept not a rule. This is meant to remind you all of how it can be done instead of just using the "They do it, let's do it aswell" theory.

Gsbaba: You are in favor of this idea in a way of massblooding is a no-go and alliances/pacting is bad for the game. Knowing this is not about rules but about sending out a message by all families that the mass playing style is a bad thing; will you as justice alliance follow the example and only blood 4 families instead of making an alliance aswell?

Because everyone is saying how good of a thing is it to downscale but so far the only families that actually have the balls to back up their words are Kurosawa and Lucchese.

Ofc you can enforce that honorary code, if enough fams sign up.

Just gun down every family that down every family that does not agree/violates that agreement down together, as first order of business and play out a version with your limited bloods after that.

Ofc that won't work, if only Lucchese and Kurosawa sign up to those codes of honour.

I like the idea, though I got to agree with Gsbaba.
This plan is mainly an honorary code and doesn't force a family to follow the 'rules' (meaning it will get abused with nonshoot deals and secret bloods eventually).

Not long ago a 1vs1 plan was written by me and some other tops from multiple families which ment exactly the same as the idea up here. Instead of having a gentleman's agreement like suggested up here, this 1vs1 actually forced people (families) to play by these rules.

next to the fact that 1vs1 removes blooding/pacting/gangbanging from the game, it most definitely will ensure longer versions. if a ladder system gets added with this (i.e. number 1 fam can not shoot number 12 fam or something similair), small and active fams have a chance to pwn a version too.

but no, let's keep scripting and gangbanging cause that is way cooler.


So where is it? :P

Gsbaba
Other than this , If we all want a longer versions we must ask admins to remove that ks shit. It alienate people who are new in the game. We all know that lone families are getting targeted cuz of this shit ks

It's funny you mention that. How many famless LCs did you kill for KS last vers? You're part of the problem yourself, don't try and escape blame :')
Yeah i shot for ks to lcs and not only me and l tried to show its wrong but while everbody was shooting for ks why wouldnt i?

To Aart, mate some people missunderstand me im not disagree about the idea i just wanted to show its impossible to do.

Lucchese is at least willing to give this a shot, which other tops will join us and say the same for the sake of a better game? :)

I knew you guys were going to make a statement, and think it could have a positive influence on the game if other families stick to it as well. My family, for example, would be willing to follow that example. I just forgot to ask something about your bloods maximum. Will you replace a family after they die? Because from what I saw last version, after one or two big wars the amount of active families is reduced significantly. Adding new bloods to get to the maximum amount of 4 could still kinda lock a version in that stage.

(y)

I think there has to be some room to make adjustments with this system. Like some fams will go up in rank now and then, and that wouldnt mean you deblood em. Just like if all your bloods die and you are alone, I think its fair to say that you can grab some new ones if you still live.

Someone mentioned belove that perhaps the placements should be chosen after x days, and still it should allow for some points over/under without people screaming MASSBLOODING.

The essence should imo be that we severly limit the blood amounts shown in previous versions, with a guiding system to make it easier and more fair for everyone.

Well the main point is top fams cant blood each other in this system. If they do theyl have alot of points straight away. Thats the point - Big fams are meant to compete, not get together, lock up the game, and roflstomp everyone. Thats lame and boring. Also if all your bloods are dying shouldn't you be like helping them and either surviving or dying with em? But ye as a concept there should be quite a bit of leeway. It's more of a guideline than a set thing.

It sounds nice in theory. But it's not about top fams that blood eachother but the general way the game is played. You can have 4 bloods as levi, and gravano can have 4 bloods, and pentagram can have 4 bloods, and lucchese can have 4 bloods. But there's nothing stopping 2 or more of those sides from working together to get rid of one of the other sides. If that other side see's it coming it has 2 choices, get gangbanged and wait for reset, or add some protection. Guess what most families will choose.

Then don't attack with more than 1 side you say? Ok, let's try that. Now 1 side attacks another 1on1. The first side is victorious, but lost a lot of accounts, which can be expected in a 1on1 war. Now sides 3 and/or 4 swoop in and kill side 1. So again a choice presents itself, attack 1on1, be killed the next day and wait for reset, or just to be save add another side to your first wave to cover your ass. Guess again what most families will choose.

And this you see version after version again. It's a neverending circle that won't change unless the game mechanics are changed. Cause tbh i doubt anyone is happy about the way the game is played these days.
