There was SCU alliance too, in that version. :D
Hundred of players,...
:w

Catânia sounds familiar.
CCCE MMTC PIMPS ASA
I was there.
In Cuore: Affinitas Aliance.
Old good times.

Since it's the end of the version i'm just going to throw my two cents in here.

Regarding the current state of the game I think it's unfair to blame the crew for it, eventhough they have have been severely lacking when it comes to:
1. Actively trying to counter cheaters, mostly when it comes to dupes using teamviewer and running a nearly 100% online time within the first 72 hours of the version.
2. Following up on reports of potential cheaters.

This is mostly a result of the crew being under staffed, as certain people are more focused on Brando's new employment app (https://twitter.com/canyudo - which hasn't shown any development since October 2016, but that's another story) and generally careless behavior from the crew members that aren't involved in that project. I don't believe the few players that are actively sharing their accounts have too much of an impact on the game, but it enables certain families to get the best spots in the game. Everyone lingering in detroit these days and the detroit spots being OP as a result of that, is another thing the crew can be blamed for, since they don't bother to implement changes to alter that development.

However, more importantly the current state of the game is that there are 2,5 powerhouses. One of them is Siberia+ (sure, you can consider me a part of that side), Anarchy+ and to a lesser extent Merciless since they tend to implode, get akilled and generally aren't big enough to have an impact on versions where either Anarchy or Siberia is playing.

Now, those powerhouses can't be blamed for being huge; they mostly have a very large player base and whenever they put word on the streets that they're going to play people will show up and play with them as they normally do.

I strongly believe the families that are to blame for recent shitty versions are the ones that either:
1. Merge into them, or
2. Decide to blood them instead of playing their own game
(minus the ones that historically play with these families, like Gravano etc.)

The current state of the game is what it is, and it has been like that for a while now. While v2.x for example had 10-20K active players, we now have about 1K and since very few people are attempting to put effort into bringing old families back, we need to adapt to that state. In my humble opinion, that means that smaller families without much history (i.e. Horde, Fortress and a bunch of smaller ones) should decide to play for themselves rather than joining the biggest side only to have a shot at survival. If we can manage to create an environment where large families are willing to play their own game rather than joining an already large side, maybe we'll be able to relive old times despite the declining playerbase.

And while i'm fully aware that what i'm talking about will only work in a so-called utopia, this is what needs to change to get omerta back on the track. Rather than just pointing fingers and talking smack on here without showing your name (which is the what most people do and is the easy way out), maybe have a look in the mirror.

As an example of proving that this might work: me and a bunch of friends have spent 2 versions on recruiting people that have been retired for 5-10 years and we managed to put Catania back up with roughly 80 active players, but we got shut down because families like Horde, Fortress, Fucilare etc. decided to join the bigger side (which backfired on them, as you can read in the war reports). If it wasn't for that I believe even a version like this could have been interesting.

Anyway congratulations to those who won, you folks put in the effort of putting your families back up as well. It's just a shame that you accepted bloodships from weak families that can't fend for themselves, which made it rather one-sided.

Be funny if everyone sees your stupidity :D

Be funny if winterhill just shot anarchist family now.

Making the HOF family now. Owh how sweet it would be if admins just did not let anyone win this round cuz of all the cheating :P

Also if people fucked off all the cheating it might be fun again!

Milestones has potencial, it will help with making versions longer.
But overall v5 layout is crap, slow and full of lag.

Milestones is good, but I think they already removed busting for rp on every version again. So v5 is like v4 with a lot crappier lay-out and milestones. Then i'd just stick to v4 and input milestones there yeah.

V5 sucks really, better leave .com at V4

No one knows, sadly.

So what's the deal with V5? Is there an ETA or ...

horde play alone wtf horde is a fucking dog family they will always beg for a bloodship to an other big side family... but i hope gravano will not play with anarchy again just for the fun would be nice stop this we were always blood... back then there was more strong families ypu could do that but today its impossible same to siberia or an other families stop this blood shit 1 family and nothing more if u wanna fet some sis families first make a war kill that other one and take the bf but this bla bla is closed bla bla belongs to us wtf is that :S u guys are desteoying the fun of this game... not the admins aalone u are a part of it


hope to everyone fun next version...

Pretty sure it's gonna be dead.

Siberia have said they wont come back to .com anymore before V5.
Merciless will not go up.
So I guess the same families go up as went up this round. Well, perhaps Pentagram instead of Anarchy or Winterhill but still pretty much the same people so...

But since everybody agrees that this was a shite round, perhaps Horde, Gravano, Fortress etc. will play for themselves and let Anarchy (if they go up) play alone. If so, we might have a decent round after all.

whos gonna play on next round, will be another dead round or at least better than this one ?

Haha xD

Hello Rangers,

As we all realised, this has been a lot boring version at all since "bigboys or steoboys or dumboys"(thats how they call themselves) ran away when they realised winter is coming.
We have fought well against the families who had balls to make a fam still.So respect for all those people. But first of all respect goes to you all. thanks for being with us in a such a boring version. hope to see you all with us once again later on.

After the family vote and other things, we have all decided to go on a duel with the remaining of the families.There will be a fam made with the name of Northside ( as a hof family)DONT shoot anyone from Northside family. The other fams will shoot each other. The ones who dont wanna participate in this war, can pm any top to join Northside family. Northside family will stay out of war. so as Winterhill we shall show them who the real warriors are.

Get ready on Sunday.

People who wanna shoot , be ready on irc @ 16 OT on Sunday. We will all hire at 17 OT. And Shoot around 18 OT.

Winterhill + Exception + Occultum + Purgatory vs anarchy+Gravano+liberta+saints

Get your bodyguards and bullets ready.

Its MORPHIN time.
