In case you are wondering: we decided to just hide the new "Nazdrovia attack" article and just stretch out the stats until Destination went down since everyone was commenting there anyway and since it was related.

By the way, Sbanks was already mailing with Brando when we got glined and frozen, which makes it even stranger.

Since the convo was going on here I thought it was best to lock it so it stays in one place, so feel free to comment on it here (which you do now of course).
My gline is gone since two hours by the way.

I have mailed Brando, Bramblerose, Teckna and "irc" about the glines and Kyra has contacted Teckna on irc, but no response what so ever.

Lol, looooooooooong after the actual incident so everyone calms down and starts to forget. Brando plays this game well it seems.
If you guys were obviously wrong in an assumption you made (you know what happens when you assume right? You make an ASS out of U and ME :p) then your right to rectify the situation. But if I were in your shoes, I would have refused to post an apology until getting clarification on the main issue which was the hack.
Now Omerta got what they want, an apology from OB crew. Doesnt matter what the totality of the apology consists of, doesnt matter its not an apology about the hack, it was an apology none-the-less .. now Omerta wins cause OB said they were wrong ... about something. :p
Nothing more then a public relations/damage control game to Omerta admins/Brando.
Rix at 14:33:10 on 30/09:
Yup that's all correct. We weren't able to ask him about it, I'm still waiting until they remove my gline (which they would do 5 hours ago) and we will probably have an interview with Brando hopefully somewhere next week or so.
ReBorN at 13:52:50 on 30/09:
I just want to make sure I have this straight Rix ...
You guys are specifically apologizing for assuming the hack caused the downtime and releasing the hacked information on this site? Nothing else, correct?
And if my above assumption is correct, then Brando didnt challenge or didnt address the possible hack that may have occurred?
So it is still confirmed that a hack took place that the admins are still denying? I dont think anyone here gave a flying fuck if they hack caused the downtime, they only care that the DB was accessed in the first place! Admins have denied time and time again that no one accessed the DB. Are the lists authentic (as they do appear to be)? Did you have a chance to ask Brando about the supposed hack that didnt occur?
This is the exact reason why I havent donated a dime to this game in over a year, the contempt many admins have towards the player base, the attitude that we are nothing more then sheep.

You still haven't even fucking responded about the hacks.
Omerta got hacked, both the testament and successor lists proved so.
The only thing that got retracted by obn is the link between those hacks and the downtime, which is still a whole lot better then 'well some retard dev put some changes in that trigged some sort of ultra super security system made by some sysadmin which caused 2 full days of 50x errors, woops!' but ok, that's possible.
You still got hacked, you still denied that.
The successor link only got published because you decided 'im gonna bann em for not responding to my email during my working day eventho i live in fucking China thus time-zones are completely off' with Rix posting here multiple times that he had infact responded already.
And still, you got hacked, at least twice since the hackers this story was based around and the ones that published the lists are 2 entirely different groups and still no word about that.
Obn might have been the source for these lists, its still your data thats in them, you know, the data that has been hacked but you still claim didnt happen.
Let me summarize:
Omerta gets hacked.
Obn posts about these hacks, and makes a (prolly correct) connection between the hacks and sudden downtime.
You get your panties in a bunch about it and decide to g-line, freeze and akill Obn accounts since they dont instantly agree with you about a retraction.
Bramble suddenly comes up with a bs story about a source for the then already released testament list, claiming all and everyone on it are in immortal mode for 48 hours, which if comments about that are correct wasn't even true.
Hackers get pissed about you taking a stand against Obn and release another, far more valued list this time containing every successor and subsuccesor.
Just to prove the hack took place, the actual data was a few weeks old but still a lot of fams confirmed the list to be accurate, even after some time has gone by.
And now you get Obn to retract about the hack-downtime link and your holding a victory parade about justice and you standing up for your colleagues.
You still haven't responded about the actual hacks, the subject or even remotely responded ontopic. And its been more then a week that this article has been published, and yet, nothing.
How can you be happy about your 'justice'?
Fucking respond ontopic for once.
And not here in a comment, no, an actual newspost to explain what happened, what the consequences are for players affected by it and more importantly if you did anything to make sure it doesn't happen again. Since all this denial kinda worries me you didnt even fix it, since there was nothing to fix right? Be the boss you claim to be for once, DG would have posted about this a week ago, since he seemed to understand what mattered to people playing your game.
Brando - rly at 09:53:06 on 30/09:
Victory? If you think that OB was opposed to us in this sorry tale you are wrong - they were just used by the hackers for some free PR.
And as for you calling me names - at least I don;t hide behind an anonymous moniker like you, you ********, ********** *******.
I'll come back here again in a few months. Like I said below, cynics, the story was *a pack of lies*
And the 'journalism' - judge the quality for yourself.

Ok so..this latest update means the downtime was not connected to the hack.
Omerta was hacked.
Brando is claiming victory on Facebook now..what a ****.

By the way, I wished they removed Sbanks' and my gline already so I can attempt to get my bot back online. It's been almost 4 hours already.

no you use this platform for many versions alrdy to backtalk omerta
i remember interviews out of 2.6 or before that even where you guys tried discredit bramble
by posting logs about her being married to someone ingame
Rix at 13:02:49 on 29/09:
We didn't made a big thing about it from the start, we just reported it, as any newssite would do and does.
Shizzz at 12:55:47 on 29/09:
tbh who gives a shit about a hack of omerta? Everything can be hacked if it's done by proper people, nothing to be ashamed of.
I don't get it why 1. beyond makes such a big thing about i and 2. Brando don't want to admit it. It happened, don't give them attention and they will stop

maybe the date wasn't correct, the stats are :)
sooooooo if crew says they weren't hacked...
it mean that you guys spread out the stats, so not capable for being crew ;)
This one you can't deny at all, or omerta was hacked OR you (crew) are the ones who leaked :)
===> Crew's fault :)

Dear Brando,
We always like to take interviews or in any other way put anything up on our site other than the plain war articles. However, being that most of us do not like this version at all and since most of us are busy with real life things, such as school or work, or working on other projects, we, at this moment, do not have the time for an interview, even though we would really like to hear the admin's side of the story. For example, out of our current 8-11 crew members, only 2 are online at least once a day, and only 5 once a week. This is our fault, we know, but blaming us for it is not going to change everything.
Therefore, I kindly suggest to have patience until both parties (Omerta crew and OBN crew) have time or, when you want to have your reply out in the open as soon as possible (which I would understand you want in this certain situation), use your extensive freedom of speech on our site and write an excessive comment including explanations on how these three, for us, coherent, events (downtime, database setup leak and profiles infected with code) could have taken place or a description on what really happened.
Furthermore, I would like to repeat a previous notice of mine that we normally would remove posts including excessive name calling and insults on our journalistic integrity. Please see this as your second warning. Thank you in advance.
