this is why lackeys ruined this fucking game BRando. idgaf about ur excuse that it fixed the script problem, it didnt fix shit they are still around and u created even more of a problem with massive duping, I mean MASSIVE duping. but as long as ur gaining money ofc u dont care.
Its YOUR job and YOUR CREWS job to catch scripts but instead u take the easy way out and fuck the old school manual rankers who have slowly left with each crappy version u have put out since introducing lackeys! face it, you failed big time

what about typing? I mostly type. ;(

No sympathy for life-less people who sit and click all day long. Times have changed.

The stupidity of this game in short:

27-05 19:21:12 (BF) Sweetcorn Swindler :online less than 6%
27-05 19:21:12 (BF) Mandzukic Swindler :online ~57%

So thanks to lackeys person with 10x more online time get shot by some shitty lackey account - justice?

This is why it sucks to be a manual ranker. This is why using lackeys "pay off". This is why people are leaving this stupid game. This is why people are using lackeys. This is why Brando+ gets the money.

This is why it's so easy to smile and not play this game - I don't feel empathy.

Because this is a place where we can discuss it. I support the game, but I don't support its current state. Is it so stupid of me to discuss this matter on a fansite, then?

7% increase in the Donation code price @ paypal, guess you are in are in need of coin to make more soup, brando.

Look Brando. I dont think you're a bad dude or anything. And i'm glad you managed to keep this game going for all thise time. Cuz we all had our moments of joy while playing it.

This doenst mean you posting here is freaking hilarious. Since you will try to defend urself here for a few days. Get into arguments and give a shitload of promises ( or atleast promising things that will happen in the future ), which we all know wont happen. And if you ever really wanted to get serious input from the community, which you hated and tryed to silence for so long, you are a little too late. That ship has sailed.

So you go girl. Teach some fella how to drive a car. Get some ghetto boys to go go college and shit. I'm sure no one here gives a crap. In the meanwhile i'll enjoy this little show you will do for us every now and then. Keep doing them i find them entertaining.

Maybe because your crew overmoderated them and almost nobody posts there anymore. Your supportive measures in the past included your typical rants, account freezes and sometimes even bans.

Didn't some Austrian-German dictator from the 1930 also have a dog, which liked him?
I think it was a German shepherd....
So that's the qualification needed to run omerta! Can't say I am surprised.


Ahum, didn't your crew hunt and close down irc chans, in which your community (when it was bigger) tried to organize protests? I am all for cynism (obviously). But what you are doing here, is like one of those big US companies working down in Mexico fighting the creation of Unions (often times even by force) and then claiming their worker were obviously content without one.


You obviously can. That something like that wouldn't last long on the omerta forums is a giveaway, on why the forum has become so horrible over there. Hint: Overmoderated. Whether it is a smart thing to flame your customers, that is an entirely different story. But that's up to you. But you have always defiled common sense and shown it is really not that common altogether. So I am eagerly awaiting for you to tell the next customer over here to screw himself.

It is a fair point - I support freedom of speech. But our forums are horrid.

No wonder you don't see much of the longer serving crew in there - we like work on something we hope will be an improvement - launch it - and get a total unmitigated shitstorm from oldschool players - yet when I run votes to check if you lot even agree with each other

You don't.

So we become an easy target - surely if you hate us with one voice you will assume some kind of flimsy unity?

I dunno.

Just ordinary people working hard for the game and its community. I walked my dog down to town this morning and came back with tomato purée, because I will make soup for the kids when they come in. Are you sure I am the scheming asshole you make me out to be?

My dog seems to like me and my soup is pretty good too. Any applicants for my job: you know my address. Don't forget to list your credentials besides 'anonymous forum troll with tiny little doll-testicles'.

Oops. I just trolled. I need a vacation. Wasn't directed against you Redspeert.

Anyway. I kind of like it that I get to say what I want here, too. Fuck Kredu, for example. Not only is he a money-grabbing little shit, but he is shorter and hairier than a real live hobbit too.

I need a coffee :)

Sorry. I am only human. We actually are just ordinary people who work very hard. In return we come in for a lot of criticism - some of it quite personal - often tiresome and frequently rude.

That's kind of exhausting.

I *wish* I could hand over this job to one of the more vitriolic critics here - armchair critics make lousy presidents.

Yeah yeah 'you do too' !next

:-)

It is a tragic day when I am taken as being 'a parody of myself'.

:'(

Surely by now you have all learned my slightly pompous writing style?

There are three reasons I can't afford to do this.

1. I am in China and the contrast in time zones means that there's almost nobody online anyway.
2. Those who hang around on their own on IRC tend to want to talk a lot about a very little
3. See 1 & 2 - I am incredibly busy & see my earlier post - I don't really manage this shit anyway - it manages itself using some reporting and giving everyone a lot of freedom and responsibility.

I never get anything done if I log into IRC. Maybe if we get some new people in this can change. I hope so!

We've done all sorts of good things with the income of Omerta - but mostly we just paid salaries to good, honest, hard working people.

We got rid of a dev a couple of weeks ago who was not functioning well. We hired a new one who is great - he is working on the new chat applet and he did some light fixes on stuff like casino spot numbers during the week.

We should bring in one or two more in the coming weeks. Kcode was busy for weeks moving the game to new servers - and he is a legend & has my total support.

We have also been working for over a year to finally fully replace the (ancient) source base of the game.

When you don't see *new shit going live* it means we are *fixing deeper stuff for the future*

1. Rumours of my ill-health are vastly overstated. Mrs Brando ran & I jogged 12 Km in the blistering heat the day before yesterday. I am creaky but not in need of artificial stimulation to any of my greater organs, yet.

2. It may be a misconception of 'all you well-organised Mafia types' but *I don't run Omerta* - well - or 'I don't run Omerta well' - in fact I probably don't do either. I am a non-manger and only exist to provide the facilities which my colleagues need. That is why I joke about 'making the coffee'. I will freely admit that we need a better general manager and that *I am not he* - we can't afford one yet (this is one of the reasons why I am looking for outside finance - we need a (proper) social media manager, a proper general manager and a couple more developers - (and you need me to hang up my cafitiére).

3. We paid Grad and Undergraduate students an advised (and negotiated) wage. Short term placements were mostly for local schools in Hull and to be honest 'slave labour' is inaccurate - it takes more time to 'train' a school kid to do simple stuff than they stay in the chair for - but the kids like it, their schools like it - usually they get to review games for www.thirteen1.com - and usually we publish these too - but we hardly rely on schoolkid reviewers.

NB. Our graduates and postgraduates have all gone on to do very well indeed and we have some great testimonies.

4. That iceberg? All I see is slushy, where it used to be. The little boat is strong.

To be honest though - you don't seem to like me very much (generalising) - nor our crew, even though they are all ex-players - people from your own ranks. You don't like our developers and some of you seem to not even like the game - to wish it ill, and so on.

I am mystified as to why the haters amongst you (generalising) are still here. I was at a concert once and a heckler was giving the artist some sh*t. The artist (Ivor Cutler) was an elderly Scottish gentleman (who had been a friend of the Beatles and co during the psychedelic era) said this:

"I don't see any chains holding you down, sonny".

If I can find someone better than me (maybe half a dead chicken?) to do my job I will quit - then you'll be rid of me.

Deal?

:-)

That may be what you want, not what I want. Why are you on an Omerta fan site if you want it to die?

Yeah, so you want my irc nick then? What are you going to do? We've seen several attempts of people who registers and tries to talk with you, and the outcome is still the same. So I still say, gtfo and let the game die its slow death.

haha you are allowed your opinion ofc. Ok i played this site a year this instantley makes me some noob in your humble opinion, thats ok i can sleep on that you get your chep thrillz calling me some noob. :-)... you was not the feedback i looked for, give detailed answer to my questions or shut up! you're no help! vjust giving yourself some egoz trip lol good for you. i won't attack yo i don't know you.

i saw a lot of negatives people around this game and you sir, are a good example! you are part of the rot keeping new players like me away.

moving on anyone who can answer my questions without calling me noob cause i only played some year ?

Regarding the first hightlight: Noob
Regarding the second one: That explains everything
Regarding the third: i rlly cracked the fuck up !
