LoL that's almost as stupid as Provenzano shooting on Gravano with Lucchese xd

Really nice war, with really old and forgotten attack style. Catania was not really logical target for me, but things change. Also it's really funny to see how last version bloods Catania - Gravano and Lucchese find each other on opposite sides. Guess talks before this version started were more than fun :P

It's kind of surprising 1st war for me, I expected something else to happen but still this is old school fight...
Lucchese pretty much won version with this, I don't see anyone who can really take them down after this, cause I guess they're bloods with Leviticus since they're shooting with them now and families like Jannisary can't wipe their own ass without Levi. I can not imagine Provenzano blooded to Lucchese, hell they hate them so much in past but I guess things can change. If Provenzano isn't blooded to Lucchese than this has to be one of stupidest moves they could have made but time will show.

Atm I don't see any force or side strong enough to really make this a challenge for Lucchese but I could be very wrong at that, especially since I don't really know ties in game.

Still better joke than Cockada...

Yeah sorry, I couldn't remember name of ISPP, so I called em Quirites considering they had maybe 1 or 2 tops same. Gonna edit it now :P

EDIT: Or not, seems I can't edit after I make another post :p

EDIT 2: I just saw Inzerillo is back as well, that family was always a lot different for others. I hope they manage to play important role in this version as well, simply cause people leading that family are crazy as drunk pirates, so really wanna see what they can do.

This is pretty good analysis of current state imo.
I don't have idea about ingame relations atm but I can say I'm happy to see family like Illusion back in game with old tops, they were real terror back in days with Conflict Righelli Curse...
Also seeing Provenzano Leviticus Krays Memento strong is pretty good for game. Honestly I think this version has potential to be pretty open, without larger groups shooting where wars could be more like 2.5 or 2.9 wars than in past versions, it's strictly up to family tops what they gonna make of it.
It's up to families to create their own way to winning version, I just hope for once if that's possible anyhow we don't see huge gang bangs and chain reactions, even if that's probably the best way to fight wars these days...

Events from last version made so called "pact' pretty shattered and left divided over Quirites death, and Quirites and Messina made some stupid moves that led to that death so imo departure of Messina is expected cause they fucked up last version pretty big...

Lucchese is in pretty good position about deciding bloods imo (probably the best atm), they have wide choice and I don't think they'll make mistake there considering experience they have.

After Lucchese, Leviticus has really good position as well, cause for 1st time since 3.2 they have breathing space on start, and it's only up to them how will their game go. I'm pretty interested to see what they have in store for this version cause this could be their version to shine again.

Righelli and Gravano are in slightly worse position than last version, however I find both of these families smart and capable of turning things into their advantage, for clash between them honestly I expect it to happen but nowhere near version start. They're both in this game long enough to know how it is played.

Sacracorona's and Illusion's return to the game is biggest surprise for me, and I am really eager to see what will they do. I want to see will Illusion stick with the "winning recipe" and form strong group with Lucchese and Righelli. Sacracorona should make it clear to all nonbelievers that they're not Messina, so I expect to see some moves (bloods wise) in that direction.

Provenzano well if I know something about Bergzilla that's that he is hater, so I expect to see same old from Provenzano, trying to kill same families with same families (hint Gravano). I don't expect much difference in play from Provenzano, but that doesn't mean that their role will be small.

Marazzino... Now that's the biggest surprise for me. Last version they blew my mind, I never expected they could be loyal and make smart moves, not in a million years, yet they made me eat my words last version with really solid play. Now it's up to them to either continue that way and make name that people will start to respect and fear, instead of laughing stock of Omerta. I really hope Marazzino can do it, cause their player size deserves better than to be laughed at. I wanna see them maintain small amount of bloods, very similar to the ones from last version and to keep doing as they did, going their own way.

Krays, biggest question for me about Krays is what will happen between them and Marazzino. Krays acted like older brother to Marazzino for so long tolerating their stupid moves, until finally 2 versions ago they got bored of it and slapped some sense into Marazzino, weirdly enough that had very positive effect on Marazzino. I'm really interested in seeing what happens there. Way I see it Krays has blank page atm, and can do pretty much anything. They always had cool heads and very good decisions so I expect them to play one of main roles in this version.

Cristera is family to look for. They might surprise a lot of people... They're pretty good at doing their own thing from the background, they did some really tricky moves last version and I really hope they still have some ace in the sleeve saved for this one too. Considering how close they are to Kurosawa I think Cristeria could bring real upsets to the game, and turn things around completely.

Memento I don't expect nothing new from them, think they'll stick with their ways. Considering last version I think Memento and Fidelitas will kill each other very fast, and I don't see any way of that not happening very soon after if not in 1st war. However role of both of these families will be pretty big if that war is usual gang bang (which I really hope wont be the case).

Jannisary I don't expect anything from them, the way I see it they're just human shield. They could only end up winning if they stick to some family, don't ask much and just do as they're told.

I don't see Violenza in game and that's a surprise for me. I might as well be blind or simply couldn't find them on family list.

I got bit carried away writing about each family, but this version looks really promising from spectator position.

Well I'll call you out for bullshit then.

I as former top of Magliana remember this really good. Magliana was idd 1st family, and I remember drama that was created cause we as some noobish morons bought 3 spots while we didn't have successor at all, and our 1st successor was quite behind Dementia (Joey on irc).

Dementia account was never akilled, in fact it was suicided by hacked account (Firrari) further in version. Also you got hijacked that version by zenga, and night later Magliana got hijacked by another account of zenga who was recruited by Reflexive as Chief from Provenzano who wanted invite in different family after hijack. Only reason why Dementia (Joey) stepped down from don position was cause turkish part of Magliana (PhenkyHenky, DonCyprus and jackalaa) didn't like her and they even wanted to get her killed if she doesn't step down cause she didn't really want to listen to them and do as they please. So to keep family peace she stepped down and Mastermind (Vc) became don as Chief which later that week got us hijacked.

Reason why that article is written that way is cause writer of it was really biased towards Affinitas, and in general this site was used for trash talks, only difference is people back then didn't hide behind fake nicknames but most of em did openly. Also if you don't believe me check article before First Family up in 2.7 It's about scripters, and author of that article is calling out admins for not akilling Dementia. Funny fact is Dementia account didn't rank much faster than other accounts did in future versions (or even that version), same period about 7-8 days till family is up, problem was that account belonged to Joey and she was marked as cheater by people who didn't like family who she ranked for. For example version later Rigazotti managed to get to LC in same time as Joey did, but you never saw witch hunt for Rigazotti, nor anyone question his fairness in ranking.

Nah panta's ingame was Nameless, he was later don of Inzerillo and #1 in RP but he wasn't 1st LC nor Inze founder

2.3 was Los Tigers, Balubear was 1st Bruglione but not 1st LC if I remember correct
2.4 was Arwen (Joey) and Vincitori
2.5 was someone of Conflict's alliance, as someone wrote before it could be Terranova, if I remember correct Panic was ingame of 1st LC in 2.5
2.7 was Dementia and Magliana
2.71 was Iznerillo think it was Rigazotti who was 1st LC but not sure
2.8 was Natarelli, though I remember day after Natarelli went up Curse shown up with almost 30 assassin+ or something, making everyone else look really small...
2.8a Castiglia and Lovendetta (forgot ingame) I remember huge akill wave before 1st family went up which left only Swindlers and lower alive at that point. Something like 1st 4 pages were akilled...

rest I don't really remember...

Gratz to Kurosawa

Lackeys were only logical thing after Brando failed to stop scripts. There are no manual rankers, honestly I can't imagine anyone going back to manual ranking after trying lackeys or script. Ranking is utterly boring process that is not rewarding or interesting at all. It doesn't get more fun the more you do it, it gets more and more boring.

Brando will never do that, it will be final nail in Omerta's coffin. Lackeys did destroy game however, now big families have 80+ brugs, back in days if you had more than 15-20 brugs you were considered huge. To shoot 80+ brug fam even if you have double that, you need at least 3 or 4 more times that number, simply cause from your 120 brugs maybe you can get 20-30 online on war night at your most active nights. And you can't risk leaving 40 brugs alive just cause you don't know how active they are.

People been dying from cheaters since this game exists, every and I mean every family has cheaters. This game is won by people who can cheat better. You can deny it but it's how this game is. Saying Lucchese (or anyone else) is winning by cheating, and talking about BS/Yigidos Turkuz as they're Brando's little angels is laughable, these families produced more dupes/sharers than some families have members. Only reason why they didn't make their own script or abused bugs is probably cause they didn't know how. And Lucchese has huge history about cheating, they had their own script. Same as family you used to be member had guy in top who is famous for "hacking", scripting, using multiple accounts and what not...

Why people are pissed is that all this is one big joke. You really think Brando and his capable crew fixed these bugs over night? It's all lovely and good now so we can reset and you can buy DC's again. Don't fool yourself, nothing changed and I hope someone steps up and shows it to everyone. Brando is not capable of running good game, his post on facebook last night where he says they didn't reset to get money is laughable completely. Only thing he cares is getting money, if he cared about game he wouldn't let it come to this point.

Honestly I even doubt Omerta has real devs, it's probably some people working in other companies who Brando hires for a part time job for a day or two to program game.

Yup, same game came to my mind Gangster 2 was somewhere in 2002 or so, maybe even before... Later there was also simillar game called Chicago 1930 just it wasn't turn based if I remember good.

I want free copy idd. Brando show us you aren't greedy bastard as we all think!

LoL Yeah just checked, don't know what to think honestly. I saw games like this before, I don't even know is Omerta ltd. behind it. If they are and this game ends up with some online mode it might even get some nice amount of players. If it's pure singe player game price of 40 euros for that kind of game is way too much. It looks outdated to anything that comes out today with same price.

Didn't know it's sold on steam, thought it's some Facebook app game. I gonna check it on steam, but God if anyone familiar with how incompetent these people are buys it, that person is beyond moronic...

ow yes they can :')

Brando's real name
4 hours ago
Right. Who'd like to buy a pub in Hull with me. It brews its own beer. Can be made into a successful lil' business IMHO...

And he is advertising new mafia based game... Guy needs money!!! So hurry up people buy DC's like you never did before, lets give this good man a pub :D

How to make things worse on Omerta 101 by Brando and his magnificent crew,

PS. He is actually advertising new game (probably Facebook app) on same topic where he says they have to reset current version cause of too many bugs and bug abusers. This just gets better and better. Earlier today he asked is anyone interested in buying Pub in England with him. So people buy DC's lets give Brando a pub!

I don't know did anything change but back when I played donating codes were really cheap in Serbia. It was less than 1 euro per dc around 90 cents or something.
I made some nice money with letting ppl from EU send me money, buy them DCs here and leave some money for myself. Kurosawa could be doing same but instead of saving money, buying DCs for members.

Isn't that known bug from few versions ago when people would make password games for 2 and play all day till they get exactly same cards and then go in with absurd amounts of money and in the end both players in game would get winnings?

Also you said blood bug made players still die easy, so basicly having 199 blood meant nothing?

So Righelli and Lucchese people didn't get cought for health bug cheat?
I thought they were cause 1st time I saw and heard about this bug is in this article, so I thought they got cought for that + hitlist thing. And yes ofc health bug seems just game breaking, but I didn't hear for it before. I don't think that bug existed from 2.9 - 3.2 when there were really strong accounts (including yours) it had to come later. Also I wonder how did OB news got info about this bug, and is it known (with proof) who has been using it?

I'm not saying Messina is not cheating, I honestly have no idea are they doing so. Considering all their history there's strong chance they are. Yet there is no clear proof of them doing so atm, but people (not you, you actually talked pro-messina as you said yourself) still talk about them doing this, while there are 2 other fams who clearly did it.

It would be like Messi cought using substances and people talk about Ronaldo must be using something too cause he is also really damn good, ignoring Messi completely...

Also it's huge shame for Omerta that something like this happened, if something like this (or all previous cheating cases) happened in serious mmo game it would mean it's end. No one wants to play game where you get beaten by cheaters and incompetency of admins...
