No, says me. If I must log in to give credibility to my argument, so be it. I manually ranked in 2.1 too, when I was in school and had no responsibilities. Times have changed, and as the game is not bringing in any new players, lackeys are the only thing allowing the older folk to keep playing at all. Without lackeys, this game would not exist right now. They're here to stay, they're keeping the game (somewhat) alive - deal with it, and move on.

says the anonymous don of the anonymous fam? :D:D
I knew respectable high tier players in 2.1 who did the same without lackeys :D:D
go play skyrim if you can't play omerta. the active player base was the life force of this game. and now the game is dead. make facts from this too ;)
oh! moron

So what you're saying is...the only people who should be playing are those with no life, no job, just full time Omerta? I do well balancing a career, family life and a bit of Omerta wherever I can - and I still manage to run respectable ingame families and build great accounts.
You're either a child, or a certifiable moron.

this is a game goofy. play it or leave it. scripts are not a good excuse under any circumstances. if you have a life, go there and leave the game. if you have work, go there and leave the game. if you want to play the game, play it as well as you can

Ok, one family has 50 manual rankers, and 5 people who use IRC. Another family has 50 lackey users and 30 people who use IRC. if you think the first family is more active, you're delusional. Now, we both no there are no families with a considerable amount of manual rankers - but that does not mean there aren't families who are active on IRC and have fun playing together.
If manual ranking is all you're interested in, as you seem to be spouting in your gibberish, then it doesn't matter where you play really.
Me at 16:46:29 on 06/05:
I laughed :D:D
any suggestions?
wait! don't tell me that a lackeys family is an active one
now, suggestions?

That you were in an inactive family comprised mostly of dupes. You should consider moving on.

If you believe the codes are crap, I'll answer that it's a way to keep players around. and I agree that wars are very interesting as well. but since I passed from irc in a major war lately, I can tell you that I counted 10 ppl in the war channel. what does this tells you?

There's more to the game than reading captcha codes and clicking. If manual ranking is the only thing keeping you playing, then I would suggest you really think hard about what enjoyment that gives you. There are elements of fun to be found in wars, planning, tactics, banter on irc and the general social aspect of the game - none of which require manual ranking to participate. Which is exactly why people are happy to let the lackeys take care of ranking while they enjoy the parts of the game which are actually fun, without having to waste their lives on the boring crap.
I can tell you for a fact however, that you are not the last completely manual player in the game.

It is my belief that the game died when lackeys were introduced. and since "scripting" is legal nowadays, nobody's interested on akilling dupes. Players are happy to rank fast and shoot 60k bullets easily and admins are happy profiting. win-win. For me, as the last completely manual player, the most fun part of the game, is while you're trying to gather a million for your first plane. The rebirth feature I liked. But still it's tragic to pay a machine to play a game that you should. If you don't like the game, just leave. If you like it, play it

Manual ranking is still possible as it has allways be. I most of the time ranked manual every version since 2.1 and did work at the same time. Lackeys made the game as dead as it could be. The playerbase has been dropping ever since so has IRC. There used to be more fun on irc than it is now. As long as lackeys can easily keep up with manual ranking people just set lackeys and log in every 3 hours to do some group crimes. We shoot in 1 or 2 big wars and version is done. This way its getting more boring with the version.

Meh, they lost so many players now that the game has become very predictable. I don't think they have the right priorities, they are focussing too much on the design and lay-out.
In my opinion more simple things like adjusting rankspeed, adjusting KA, adding some new market items, adjusting item prices and adding new bodyguards would make the game much more exciting.
They seem to be falling into the 'social-media' trap. Omerta is not an social facebook game and it will never be.
I think this is just a raw first draft. They rewrote the code so they can implement things much quicker in the future.
The objective is a good thing, i think. Tho we'll have to see how it plays out. The ingame chat is a nice addition, where i found my first couple of heists. Cooldown timers for group crimes are halved, which is good. Gives manual rankers more of an edge.
Now they need to build on this. KA is fine imo, but you should have more ways to gain account strength. Implement racing in account strength and group crimes for example. And have shooting skill that works kinda the same as busting skill. In that it gives you higher profits on group crimes and more account strength, without making it overpowered.
Wasn't the time or group crimes on .dm cut to half anyway, or am I remembering it wrong?
When i played, it was the same as .com. You just got more cash from doing it.
They were cut already before the changes, nothing new about that.
