who is gayvano ? another bug fam ?

Ah c'mon, he only has the best of interests at heart. Well his own best interests.

Without mocking Brando any further, but wasn't that heart surgery you are refering to, not you getting a pacemaker? At least I remember a rumour of you having received one a few years ago.
If it actually was for somebody else, kudos.

BUT you are not getting bashed here over the charity you do. You are getting flamed over your captaincy of the that cruise ship called omerta. You know that tiny boat you managed to hit the iceberg with... So stop telling people how awesome you are outside this community and actually do the job this people pay you money for: Straighten out your crew and fix your damn game.

And your study placements... You ought to mention how much you pay those poor souls, while they work for you. If I recall it correctly, your funding of study placements was free labour for omerta ltd.

i heard gayvano is coming back

A New fam from NL to join the pact, plus the usual suspects with new ingames and new famnames due to embaresment/fear... so not much new at all :p

I wouldn't believe him if he told me grass was green.

Log on to irc .. Speaks for itself.. Someone better start caring :')

I really don't mind the money I donate goes to heart surgery and if you really did that then that's a noble thing to do but when I read those statistics I start getting my doubts. If you would've said there is a part time coder working on omerta I would've believed it.

We never get new features, no marketing, no bug fixing (even after reporting it needs to be posted here on OB and mass abused before a fix comes), no admins to actually listen to the community.

All I see is kcode, the incompetent (volunteers) in #help, the bramblerose who only comes online to give away the weekend voucher and some idiot volenteer admins banning everyone who criticises you of the omerta forum.

You can say you contract people but what do you guys even do? Are they contracted to sit and amuse you?

it's legit. Confirmed crew members even have a special badge-thingy (yes, that's the official term.) on their OB profile.

Wait, is the account registered Brando on here actually Brando? I was pretty sure it was a parody acount, considering some (actually, most) of the posts it made. The recent reactions to Brando's posts, however, suggest otherwise.

Couldn't agree more mate, but as we have seen in the past years his priorities are somewhere else.. At least not in this game. :)

Atleast they can write what they feel here, without beeing hunted down like a witch in medieval europe...like lets say forums inside omerta.

And to your heart bleeding post. Its all well and dandy what you have done, what you are doing and what you will do...But I do not give a damn that you pay for someone going to the university, paying heart operation etc...All I care for, and the majority of your ever-shrinking playerbase is that you RUN and FIX the game.

And like Jordyrp said - "So what is it that *you* do? - & thanks for your interest." In general we are PAYING your salaries and apparently giving money to heart operations, giving people the chanse to study and teaching people to drive. All in all your whole Braveheart speech wouldn't be possible without your average omerta player so you should change your tone quickly mister, before you loose even more people and have to find a real job.

You Sir, deserve a medal for doing your job.

/sarcasm off, don't convince me your company is doing a good job for the community convince me that you will remove bugs, hire decent people for in #help and find a new playerbase.. If you don't you can't do all those great things you mentioned anymore and maybe will end up just like us, clicking for a game where nobody clicks anymore..

Pwnd

Pay for your salaries.

So new fams this version?

He does a big mistake. To play this stupid game...

Anonymous peeple. So Brave. Strong. Much perception. Wow.

Nattekikker is right and I can confirm that this is the main project we are working on. This comes even before the hoped-for Mobile version.

That fund came and went - a missed opportunity maybe - but we didn't expect to be offered that money and were not harmed by not getting it. We will still run a crowdfunding bid, but later in the year.

We are also recruiting new developers & talking to the bank, as to private investors.

I don't believe that I said I 'needed 300k' - but perhaps you didn't understand the first time (& may not understand this).

Actually I am proud to say that we always ran the business without making a loss and have grown it from a small personal loan which I took out against the value of my house - a £10k loan, if you are interested.

With this we have been able to provide over 50 salaried jobs in total, so far, fund over 300 work-experience and study placements, fund one hard-up student all the way through university, train four people to drive and pay for a life-saving heart operation. Frequently criticised for being 'greedy' etc, we pay staff salaries before directors salaries and invest almost all profit in personnel costs.

So what is it that *you* do? - & thanks for your interest.

Lol @ Brando posting here.


Brando you need 300k again?
