Suggestions for increasing the overall fairness of the game and increasing the length of versions:
rEmOvE pLaTiNg!!!
But seriously, remove plating. I think the idea in general is good, but it can not be implemented without too many negative consequences. If plating should, or must, be kept, then have it expire at a random time when a % of players have past X RP% of Chief (or something like that).
The second change I would make is limiting the amount of families engaged in war at any given time. Specifically, you can ONLY engage in war against families in the SAME CITY as you. Conversely, no out outside of your own city can shoot you.
Once you have defeated all of your enemies in your city and have 100% control of your own city then, and only then, can you expand from your city and engage in war in ANY other city.
In order to win, your family must have 100% control over your base city (the city you first started in) and you must have established your family in each of the remaining 7 cities - create a family spot and boost the boss of that spot to Underboss (similar to Capodecina).
Oh, and 1 more very important change - NO name changes. The family that 'wins' is the family that wins. No more name combo's to make 7 families feel happy about winning together. There should only be ONE.
Sure, families can still work together, and WILL have to work together - especially to eliminate their enemies in cities they dont share, but at some point those two families will have to determine who is the master and who is the slave and take one of them down - either willingly, or by force.
Killing your enemies will now be much more difficult and by not allowing cross-city wars it will give (at least 8) families room to grow and build. You want to eliminate a threat in another city? Either financially back another family in that city, or start your own family there to take them down! Or, you can simply grow your own family in your own city until you own 100% of the city and then strike!
There are several possible ways to implement this. And the main advantage? It absolutely eliminates gang bang wars.

you are not objective.
ie: embattled viddani. those 3 families shooting you were 1. total retards or 2. had no bullets in the first place to take care of you, how many deaths last 24 hours?
"commandable job": says you, the protagonist.
constant attack: really? -> how many deaths last 24 hrs?
and praising the killing of 2 of those shitfams.
your intel is correct, your writing is not subjective. this is why people don't report on their own fam's wars. and if they do, they would put up something like:
Kerberos+, Leviticus+ shooting Viddani+, end of. this is just a post to make yourself look brave, using your privileged position on this news medium to do so.
you should know better and ask another news writer to report on this war, and provide a top statement for your 'propaganda'
PS: no offence, nice stand and rip

I can write so colorfully because I know the exact circumstances of what happened and how it happened. Most reporters don't have that much information. When the war started we had almost 0 bullets against families that had far more than us. We were constantly shot everyday for 5 days. It's not my problem that they have no idea how to shoot. But yes, I would consider that embattled.
And as far as the use of the word commendable: I would use the same exact word had Krays stood for over 1 day under the same odds. Any family that can survive constant shooting for 5 days with no source of revenue and no help and very little bullets - while managing to take down two attacking families - should be commended. I'm sorry if you don't feel the same. Next time I see it happen I will report it exactly the same way.

viddani is now heroic for shooting lati just because lati has some sib people? fuck off... all of viddani was 1 big charade.
after all bloodlines were closed and warplans were discussed saros showed up in viddanis bloodchans and warchans and we see once again who is actually behind this family...
don't fucking trust these puppets because it's just aeterna hiding there and ready to massblood and stab their way through the version again. they had no reason to shoot lati except for wanting to shoot siberia and now lati fucked them.

I try not to comment here on the crap that people spew, but this is just ridiculous, lmao!
Aeterna has nothing to do with Viddani. I hear Saros is around somewhere but he's not in 1 Viddani channel - top, blood, or members.
Seriously, keep it coming. I need a good laugh today.

@ reborn : you blooded into the pact at the end to survive.
no matter how lame this version turned out to be, i feel your post is inappropriate. your *job* is to report, not write biased articles like this (imo)
and let's all listen to kaw: stop joining lame families like krays. do join colossal instead, you might be the next don after bruce gets his family akiled again.

We did not blood into the pact to survive. If you need an explanation as to why we did what we did at the end then go talk to your buddies over at Hidden, Im sure theyll be more than happy to explain it to you.
As far as my reporting, I am as much a reporter as I am a RL gangster. I report on this game the best I can. That being said, this is the most objectivity this report deserves because actions like this are destroying this game! Honestly, does anyone believe this is an acceptable way to win a version? If so, then its time to leave - you are whats wrong with this game. And I feel a responsibility to point that out.

I'm not yelling at you, I'm just surprised this nowadays is worth a topic while it hasn't been the last 2-3 years where they've been repeating this trick, sometimes on an even bigger scale in an even shorter timespan than this.
You're right for pointing out this is a problem, but come on, do you think people really care at all? It's clear people will merge into them, blood them or as1 them whenever they have the opportunity to stay safe for a while and it won't ever change, despite all the stabs, despite all the sells, the same thing keeps going on and will keep going on simply because they'll merge and recruit themselves to 400 members again next time they're playing and everyone will fall for their shit again just because they have the biggest dick.
We just decided to give up playing in versions they reside in because it's not worth the time or money to play just to end up fighting them alone on chief and see everything vanish not because of skill or strategy, but because of numbers of the lack of interest of other fams that are just glad they're shooting you instead of them for the time being.
ReBorN at 21:04:50 on 28/12:
Im not really sure why youre yelling at me. We joined in the first war. I was upfront with what our small family could handle and we took out the targets that were given to us. Sure, I had about 3 or so members that could have killed 4 or 5 more Chiefs, but what was that going to do? We licked our wounds and tried our best to get something else going.
Critycal at 20:49:33 on 28/12:
Everyone? We've been addressing this problem for years now and every fucking version people fall for the same fucking trick to an extent where we honestly don't even care to play anymore.
Numerous families here have been feeding this group over and over because they thought they'd make super duper smart 300 IQ plays with it, only to get fucked in the end. Their biggest haters nowadays were their biggest supporters back then or vice versa. Everyone knows them, everyone knows their tricks, people just prioritize HoF greed and opportunism over getting rid of them.
If you honestly wanted to get rid of them you'd have been campaigning against them since the very start of the version and you wouldn't back out after a minor setback. Hell, we've been fighting this side when we had nothing but 3 families against them while basically everyone that wasn't countering on us for them (around 14 families) was just sitting back and watch it happen just because they thought they were super smart for doing so. This has been repeating itself for years and if nobody wants to actually do something about it because they're scared they get rekt in the process, only to get rekt in the end, honestly, why bother playing versions when they play?
ReBorN at 20:40:32 on 28/12:
Everyone is culpable in this. I never claimed to be innocent. Could I have blooded into the pact? Sure I could have. Could I have shot more into the pact? Sure. But I will not take responsibility for the overall outcome. That rests on the shoulders of the members who decided that this is ok.
Critycal at 20:37:26 on 28/12:
And you played no part in their win? Maybe it's new and stuff since you've not been around for a while, but EVERY Winterhill/Anarchy (yes dark it's not the same but the versions unfold itself the same way so I'll name them in 1 sentence) goes like this. They have loads of members, everyone wants to blood them in the hopes to survive and then the side turns out to be huge.
Ceasefiring with their side isn't helping anyone but them in the end, because you'll only lose likeminded people where they'll only gain them.
In my personal opinion, this is an absolute disgrace.

I totally understand the frustration. This is my first time experiencing the size of their vagina first-hand since Ive been retired for a while.
I made the topic because the timer was started and the version is ending - its a news worthy event in this spectacularly lackluster version. I just wanted to make sure it was documented in the article how it was we got to this point.

In an even more shocking turn of events, the Syracuse family (#1 in the game at the time) has fallen with the death of their Don - Biloaga. It appears no successors were set causing the family to fall and Montenegro get all of their spots in Chicago!
Successors were set, successors were killed.
Thats always possible ...
Expect he was last online @ 1430 and died @ 1554. The only Syracuse member to die in that time frame was Threat @ 1444. Even if Threat was the successor then either successor #2 was not set or set improperly which is the same as not setting one imo :p

Great defense by the defenders? or bad assault by the attackers? xD
Why is it personal?
Its a catchy title to an article about AKills. One could make the case that with the large amount of AKills this version and the amount of families the Admins have brought down that it almost seems like a personal vendetta to them, hence, "Now its personal".
