Probably haters gonna hate, but i have to express my opinion.
It is simple: Lackeys is the best thing that ever happened to Omerta.
I never understood one thing, exactly: why in order to achieve something, you have to spend endless hours just watching at the boring screen, doing crimes, car nicks, booze runs and so on. Why the hell time spent doing worthless and IQ decreasing crap is a factor that determines how good player you are? What is heroic in typing 50 000 codes in 2 months?
I am not really proud to admit that this game wasted about 5 years of my time (with breaks), that could definitely be spent for something more useful. However, i loved the game and the people. And i still do. And i always wanted to have my conscience clear of any cheating, so in order to keep up i simply ranked.
In order to achieve something like personal account strength, you had to become a lifeless bastard spending days and nights at the PC and ranking, ranking, ranking. If you were also a top, in addition to that you had to spend lots of time in IRC. I do not blame the IRC. IRC and killing are the most important parts of the game. But when you had to rank with your red eyes, just to keep up with others, it was simply too much.
Most tops did not have enough energy to last longer than 2-3 versions in a row as tops. Look around and see how many tops either retired or demoted themselves during the period since 2.2 to 3.2. From those who i knew closest - Ezhov, Crazylegs, Halfsoul, Satyr - all went away just to live their lives. They still loved the game, simply it was too much time-consuming. I am pretty sure you yourselves would come up with way more names as examples.
Most of us are of age 20-40. Those are probably the best years of human life. Yes, games are also part of life, and as a PC games fan i would never consider them as a waste of time. However, a game should not become a job. Fun parts in this game are: IRC, WARS, and maybe group crimes. That's it. Period. Ranking and clicking? Even if someone is attached to a wheelchair - there are WAY MORE ways to have fun than typing codes (as for MMORPG, i can mention LOL, WOW, SWTOR and probably a dosen others, where you get satisfaction of killing others, however gaining your rank is also fun). That's just about gaming, i wonder if some1 here would prefer to read a book or watch a good old movie instead of ranking.
So, we come up with conclusion - account growth should be a lot less time consuming. It still needs to be slow, otherwise you wouldn't value your account at all. However it does not need to take 80% of your life.
What lackeys do: they give you free time, still allowing to be in the game. Simply - they disable the need for mindless clicking, and let you deal with your own business, which allows you to manage your time better, so you could come online when you are needed there. Those who enjoy sitting and chatting, they still can do that. Those who like mindless clicking - they can also still do that and earn more money. However lackeys eliminated the need to sit online 24/7, and that is a good thing.
I was retired due to my busy works, and i thought i was retiring forever - although i still had sentiments and wanted to play. Without lackeys i definitely wouldn't be here. And there are way more of players who still enjoy the game, but were forced to leave due to their personal life. They have a chance to enjoy it now.
Of course, situation is not as beautiful in the game, as i am describing. But this is a fracture point where whole outlook of each and every player must change: not the lifeless bastard who clicks all day is a cool guy. A guy who knows how to manage his time is a cool guy now!
Players do have to understand that it is important to maintain the communication, and be reachable (simple example: sms status), despite no need to always be online. If they do, family is capable of something. That's job for the tops, to educate them. I'm not a top since last year so i cannot really advise anything specific.
In short: wise use of lackeys enables you to play this game properly and not waste your life to it, and that is an improvement only blind people cannot see.
Now please eat me, haters :D

15-05 Vincitori attack
09-05 Death by scratching
Then, 666ers killed many blitzkrieg members in one wave at about 6OT the night after the start of the war. They eventually got countered in what was nearly 24 hours since the war started. (shooter unknown)
Whilst this was happening the family of Palladino hired and attacked the attacking families. Palladino were killed with the help of the AsFu alliance and eventually went down.
The war was divided in groups as follows:
Liberta + Firenze + Carneglia + Aspava → Gambino
Turkuz, Leviticus, Spamfam, Fusion and Catacomb are shooting Vincitori.

Woah, I had no idea there were so many brugs.
Just checked myself, nearly 1200 brug+ yet only 23 gf/fl's left in the game, of which about 15 or so are asfu/xzone. I guess the average bullet count per brug is 30k with maybe half the brugs in the game having 60k or so.
What the hell are people doing? :')

Reset will be next year.
And why should there be a reset tbh? It's several strong pacts and about 900++ brug/brug+ left. If they want a reset, make the highrank number drop drasticly and stop buying DC's.

sfu version is still open
Probably haters gonna hate, but i have to express my opinion.
It is simple: Lackeys is the best thing that ever happened to Omerta.
I never understood one thing, exactly: why in order to achieve something, you have to spend endless hours just watching at the boring screen, doing crimes, car nicks, booze runs and so on. Why the hell time spent doing worthless and IQ decreasing crap is a factor that determines how good player you are? What is heroic in typing 50 000 codes in 2 months?
I am not really proud to admit that this game wasted about 5 years of my time (with breaks), that could definitely be spent for something more useful. However, i loved the game and the people. And i still do. And i always wanted to have my conscience clear of any cheating, so in order to keep up i simply ranked.
In order to achieve something like personal account strength, you had to become a lifeless bastard spending days and nights at the PC and ranking, ranking, ranking. If you were also a top, in addition to that you had to spend lots of time in IRC. I do not blame the IRC. IRC and killing are the most important parts of the game. But when you had to rank with your red eyes, just to keep up with others, it was simply too much.
Most tops did not have enough energy to last longer than 2-3 versions in a row as tops. Look around and see how many tops either retired or demoted themselves during the period since 2.2 to 3.2. From those who i knew closest - Ezhov, Crazylegs, Halfsoul, Satyr - all went away just to live their lives. They still loved the game, simply it was too much time-consuming. I am pretty sure you yourselves would come up with way more names as examples.
Most of us are of age 20-40. Those are probably the best years of human life. Yes, games are also part of life, and as a PC games fan i would never consider them as a waste of time. However, a game should not become a job. Fun parts in this game are: IRC, WARS, and maybe group crimes. That's it. Period. Ranking and clicking? Even if someone is attached to a wheelchair - there are WAY MORE ways to have fun than typing codes (as for MMORPG, i can mention LOL, WOW, SWTOR and probably a dosen others, where you get satisfaction of killing others, however gaining your rank is also fun). That's just about gaming, i wonder if some1 here would prefer to read a book or watch a good old movie instead of ranking.
So, we come up with conclusion - account growth should be a lot less time consuming. It still needs to be slow, otherwise you wouldn't value your account at all. However it does not need to take 80% of your life.
What lackeys do: they give you free time, still allowing to be in the game. Simply - they disable the need for mindless clicking, and let you deal with your own business, which allows you to manage your time better, so you could come online when you are needed there. Those who enjoy sitting and chatting, they still can do that. Those who like mindless clicking - they can also still do that and earn more money. However lackeys eliminated the need to sit online 24/7, and that is a good thing.
I was retired due to my busy works, and i thought i was retiring forever - although i still had sentiments and wanted to play. Without lackeys i definitely wouldn't be here. And there are way more of players who still enjoy the game, but were forced to leave due to their personal life. They have a chance to enjoy it now.
Of course, situation is not as beautiful in the game, as i am describing. But this is a fracture point where whole outlook of each and every player must change: not the lifeless bastard who clicks all day is a cool guy. A guy who knows how to manage his time is a cool guy now!
Players do have to understand that it is important to maintain the communication, and be reachable (simple example: sms status), despite no need to always be online. If they do, family is capable of something. That's job for the tops, to educate them. I'm not a top since last year so i cannot really advise anything specific.
In short: wise use of lackeys enables you to play this game properly and not waste your life to it, and that is an improvement only blind people cannot see.
Now please eat me, haters :D
+1
if u have time to click all day, play WOW, it's more fun.
lackeys should be cheaper btw, because ppls who doesn't pay RL money for DC should get the credits more easily.
if lackeys are cheaper then dupe count will rise? then admins should take care of proxy connections. and there will be always dupes. you can't change that fact
