Never change OB. Glad to see it's dramatic as always here. I'm interested in playing in the upcoming round. Is there an IRC channel I can loiter in to find some old folks/families to run with?

Because? They didn't get caught cheating? That doesn't mean they don't cheat.
If you call teamviewer cheating and admins could find out a way to find tv users(imposobile) then allmost all Hrs/capo's/top3's would get akilled for cheating.
Now or you can accept that or you can complain the rest of your life about about cheating on a rpg newssite and Meanwhile Everybody keeps on 'cheating' and giving a shit about your Blabla about cheating on obn.
Or of course, you can start cheating also to compensate.

Not sure this is a legitimate argument. 'Not a single person in their family has been caught cheating but everyone cheats so they must be cheating.'

As someone who is contemplating returning to the game after a 5 year sabbatical, I have a different argument as to why the game is dying. Cheating has always been pervasive in Omerta, ever since the early days. But I don't think it's the reason for the exodus of players.
I believe that the reason for so many players leaving is by and large 1 reason which was brought about by 2 changes to the game. Those changes were the introduction of Lackeys, and the quick versions.
Let me explain.
Lackeys.
Up until 2.9 or whenever Lackey's were introduced, If you wanted to rank competitively, you were on your computer, and you were manually ranking. This forced players to focus on Omerta, whether that meant talking shop with friends on IRC, or pondering other aspects of the game... basic classical conditioning. And this wasn't just higher ups, this was everyone. Now, thanks to lackeys, aside from the higher ups, all the grunts have no real incentive to loiter around IRC and spend time actively involved in the game. This led to people spending less time in general investing themselves in Omerta. When people wander, they tend to lose interest, or find other things that appeal to them. This makes it way easier to walk away.
Quick versions.
I'm astounded to find that versions nowadays last little more than a month. This de-incentivizes players to create new accounts after death. The result? This means that once you die, there is once again a time to wander, and therefore lose interest in the game. Previously, with longer versions, players had a sunk cost investment in their families and friends. Essentially, they had put so much time into building their family and social circle in addition to their own account, that walking away after a single death just wasnt worth it... since with such a long runway, ranking back up and contributing ina meaningful way was a realistic aspiration. With such short versions, taking time off is incredibly easy as well (going AWOL for 1-2 versions), which further reduces the chances of a player returning, and ultimately damages the integrity of the community, because social circles have a constantly revolving door of people.
Conclusion.
Ultimately, the gradual decline in Omerta is not the result of cheaters, it's the decline in community. Less general activity resulting from the above decisions made by the powers that be. It's the reason everyone flocks here to discuss their ideas... besides being an open forum, everyone who is active also hangs out around here, and people can discuss their complaints ad nauseum. Why do you think #omerta is so dead all the time... why are public family channels silent. At the surface level, people find themselves becoming disinterested, and of course the first reason they think is, "cheaters make this game less fun"... but cheaters are just one unpleasant part of the game, and the dying community exacerbates their perceived impact.

This exchange 2 posts below me is pathetic. It's petty exchanges like this that make walking away from this game easier than ever before. If you guys want to have a dick measuring contest take it off beyond and into PM's. It's ridiculous that people have to sift through shit like this in order find pertinent thoughtful remarks from less abrasive users.
Shut the fuck up.

This is a terrible idea. The best discussions are the result of statements that cause disagreement. The criteria to have a post removed shouldnt be 10 votes, it should be something with the ratio of votes...
As in, minimum of 10 votes must've been cast, and if greater than 80% of the votes are dislikes, then the post gets deleted.
Alternatively you could improve everything by adding points to the mix. Everyone wants more points, and better posts will earn more points. People wont want to lose points as it will damage their cyber ego and as such less stupid shit gets said.

You should stop being bitter about dieing. KA has no relation to all these families that back in 3.2 would have been ranked #50-80 and in 3.2 had to wait 2 months until most decent families went down before they could get started.
Mickay at 17:40:03 on 29/05:
The present family numbers would be fine if the admins didnt do such a thorough job of fucking the KA
Deston at 16:12:18 on 29/05:
Because when a decent amount of families were allowed to start this version, everyone cried and we got a 23 bonus to HQ's that were only needed for families that generally speaking don't have more than 15 players.
Brusakin at 15:41:11 on 29/05:
Yeah Mangano awesomeness! Could anyone explain to me why there's so many useless families around?

Ha, my bitterness has nothing to do with dying, as many can attest, I'm never too distressed about losing an account. My bitterness is the inability of strong accounts to properly defend themselves any longer.
And your wrong, KA has plenty of relation to how spots are used. Your saying that when pure numbers in a family is more valuable than the strength of accounts in that family, that there is no effect on competent players leaving to establish their own families. That is false, pure and simple.

There's a reason the smartasses winning the casino are the same people time and time again. And I havent had any qualms about sharing my strategy with anyone who asks. Maybe instead of assuming I cheat in order to outperform you, you could ask what I do, like so many others have. Or you can just hide behind the wall of anonymity and bash me because you can't explain how someone could possibly outplay you. I can be reached on IRC with the nick Mickay
