Omerta, free online mafia game

[BishopMVP]

Bishopmvp in Philly. Anyone want to swap testaments?

[Vince]

Well that's a pretty sweet way to end the day -- just nicked a Mercedes 125 with only 16% damage. I could sell it for $120,000 or so -- but I think I'll hold on to it and try to race with it a bit. I've already got a Tommy Gun, Bulletproof Suit, 5 bullets (woo-hoo!) and 1 bodyguard.

And I'm now 0.2% killing skill :)

[bw1488]

I was all the way up to thief I think and I got killed for no damn reason,still don't know who did it or why.Kinda turned me off and I ain't played since.I tried starting over but it pissed me off cause what used to be easy was now hard.I figured on my new one I would do nothing but get my kill skill up,only managedto blow my damn foot off a dozen or so times and hit the bottle once.I love the game but kinda got disheartened when I got smoked forno reason other than some guy higher ranked than me wants to build up his skills.I'm sure I'll start playing again once I get over my whinin. ;)

[Poli]

Bad news, though. I can't kill the guy. He's a mobster in a family.

[Poli]

Guys, just read the rest of the thread. If you do want to put me down on your testament, I will get you your money back. No problem there.

Defensively, I have three bodyguards, and all the protection devices (the vest, cycle, Lincoln, and stuff), the tommy gun and some ammo.

I'm looking to buy a DC-3 next.

[Poli]

I just thought of something. Perhaps we can place an anonymous hit on peter.

[Castlerock]

Castlerock in New York. I listed you as Testament.

[vex]

Vex,
I HAVE YOUR WITNESS STATEMENT!

You have witnessed Peterpost kill Vexroid. To auction this witness statement use the following id: 67773

Thanks a million AE. Yeah, an anonymous hit seems to be the way to go. I'll take care of it in about 2 weeks.

[vex]

Thanks for the repayment, SI.

[Poli]

Try the kill page. That may help.


edit: Message to nevstar.

[NevStar]

I logged in today to find myself at 50% health & having lost all my bullets (i had about 150). I assume somebody tried to hit me & failed, but I have no idea. Wish I had gotten a message or something.

[Icy]

As this game seems to be really addicting and we are already a good amount of players that would like to be a big official familly one day, what about if we start as a unofficial familly now? As to keep talking about this into just a thread is going to be a mess soon, I can have a private forum setup today, all us would get acounts there, web space to host our sigs in the game etc and there we can discuss all about the game, plan our statregies, revenges, etc, like other games clans, what do you guys think?

BTW Vice, thanks for the offer, i'll setup you now in my testament and with this our blood pact with be sealed :)

[Poli]

sounds good to me.

When's the first Vegas contingent meeting? We should have it in the back of a deli.

[NevStar]

ardent,

Yeah, that shows it. Somebody named Loura tried to hit me. She's a local chief for the Risuscitato family. I fired 140 bullets backfire & did absolutely no damage.

[Poli]

Wow.

[Ramzavail]

Ill join the fam. Ramzavail in Philly, Im a shoplifter, 22%

[Poli]

Yeah, it's a bug. You'll need a gun for the bottle bit.

[Castlerock]

Following advice, I tried to hit the bottle. I just get a blank white frame. I don't have a gun. Do I need to buy one first? Anyone else see this?

[Icy]

Btw, i'm working now on the website for the fofc familly.

[GoldenEagle]

I hit the bottle twice in class this morning. My new killing skill: 0.2%

[condors]

i definatly need to check this out.

[Icy]

The good luck is with me today, sold the Mecedes for 80k, and i'm on 150k now at the casino playing roulette!

[scarface132]

Damn I just nicked a Mercedes benz with 3 percent damage and sold it outright for 143, 000 and some change.

As a scrub, 9 percent Picciotto, that's a pretty sweet deal.

WOOT!

[scarface132]

After all the hard work, getting my first real car sale (over 500.00) I deserve a trip to Vegas and the casinos.

AHHHH!

[Icy]

AHHHH!

Learn from me, the 150k are 5k now at the fucking casino, next time i'll have my mouth closed, lesson learned.

[scarface132]

Dola!

I won about 20,000 at Roulette and bought a bulletproof suit, a .357 magnum and one bodyguard, not bad for a 10 percent Picciotto!

[rafini]

Just to check something, when you take target practice at the bottle, do you actually physically do something? I always just get a screen that comes up telling me I was too drunk or whatnot. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything (besides the bottle, obviously).

It's that way when you fail, if you hit it a message will sy it, but there is nothing more than luck about it.

I'm at 0.2% right now, and probably tried it a dozen times. Usually I end up getting caught by the police and arrested; but at least it accounts for some kind of improvement with your rank.

[JeeberD]

How much does a Tommy Gun cost? I may have to trade in my .45 and get one.

Of course, I suppose neither one does me much good without any bullets...

[rafini]

It's been a good morning ... I got myself a Tommy Gun, finally hit the bottle for the first time and nabbed two cars so far, including the Mercedes-Benz W125 that tops out at 205 mph (although its 18% damage and will cost me $54,000 to fix).

[JeeberD]

I put JeeberD down just as a random name.

As your testament? I'll be sure to return the favor...

[Bearcat729]

I've got a Tommy Gun and a body guard now. Hopefully I can hit a bottle few dozen more times to get my skill up

[hukarez]

Anyone know what's the deal with these 'Points' I see at the top frame? I've got 3 points, and I'm not sure what I did to earn those. I'm only a Picciotto for the time being...

[JeeberD]

I've suddenly got four points and I only had two when I went to bed last night.

*shurg*

[JeeberD]

So I have a witness staetment in my inbox. Would it be a good idea to auction it off or is that just asking to be killed?

If you guys do this, I'd like to see you keep it on the FOFC board, though perhaps in a separate folder like hattrick. I love reading this thread (it's spectacularly insane when you've never played the game), but I don't trust myself to actually play a game this addictive.

Sounds good to me!

Although I do agree with Weinstein. Keep it here in a seperate folder.

Nevermind, my timeframe to auction it has passed. And it was a local chief who I saw killed, so it might have got me some cash. Damn...

It would be nice if 'ole Skydog would set us up a seperate forum.

[JeeberD]

I think we would have to have multiple threads all over the place for that to happen. The only reason he did it for Hattrick was because that garbage ( ;) ) was pushing everything else off the front page...

Was this a random thing? Getting witness statements in your inbox? I got bailed out of jail from someone called "Yourangel". 2nd time I've been bailed out by someone I don't know...hope he/she isn't looking for compensation!

Yeah, I had no idea it was in there and nothing significant actually happened in game...

[Poli]

As long as you auction it off anon, you should be fine.

I had someone I don't know break me out of jail. Apparently he likes to break people out because his profile said that was his job.

[JeeberD]

I gots 69K in my pocket and in Vegas. Let's party. I'm sick of missing this damn bottle.


No kidding. I must have shot at it 50 times by now and have yet to hit the fucker...

My thoughts exactly. FOFC is known for flocking to the hot new thing but then burning out on it in a few weeks.

We'll see what kind of staying power this game has here...

[rkmsuf]

Wurd...first hit.

Well done: The beer bottle exploded, cool. Your aiming skills got improved, but don't try to kill someone yet. Practice some more and you'll be ready to rule the streets with your gun!

My thought was more about what I'm going to have for lunch. ;)

[hukarez]

I've shot myself numerous times in the foot while trying to hit the beer bottle. Are my health points going to regenerate over time (I've got the Health Insurance), or only if I travel to another city? I'm assuming I should go to the blood bank or what not to restore myself back to 100%, but wasn't sure if there was a timer that'll let you naturally heal...

Man. 200 crime attempts, and 90 car nicking attempts. I'm still lousy! I haven't had as much success as I did with my first account, been failing and getting caught quite a bit. At least, my killing skill is at an awesome 0.3%!

[hukarez]

Guys, make sure you check out the "ignorance is no defense" link on the right hand panel.

Btw, I assume if you die, you can sign up again, right?
Yeah, that's what I did. Never figured out who killed 'Hukarez', so I started up 'Juicyfruit' just a day or so ago.

I can't ever find any bullets, when I did find 200 available, by the time I bought them seconds later, someone online beat me to them. Later I found 3 bullets available and scooped them up, however I have to wait an hour from the purchase to buy some more. :eek:

is it that hard to hit the target succesfully? If so, once I start I am knee deep in it.

[hukarez]

It's pretty difficult. With each success, you only get .1% improvement. You don't need bullets to shoot at the bottles, I've found out...just a gun of some sort.

[scarface132]

It doesn't cost bullets? Sweet.

[JeeberD]

Mine is 0.0!

[scarface132]

Damn I shot myself in the foot!

[scarface132]

I only seem to get Mercedes. Except for one Model T that was 99 percent damaged, I have only been able to sell 1 for more than 500.00, though the one I did sell that was above that was worth a sweet 142,000.

136,000

Party time!

[scarface132]

I've never seen that. I always get my money back with interest?! Maybe it's the town?

[hukarez]

what's with the bank? I put money in there yesterday, come back today and it's gone. besides the interest is there a reason to have your money in the bank?

I didn't even get the interest at this crooked bank.
You should have that money you put in the bank on hand, no? I think after that period of time has expired, it puts it back into your pocket with the added interest. Then, you'd end up having to deposit it again or what not (if I recall correctly...)

[JeeberD]

once you get the interest all of the money automatically goes into your pocket. Has it been 24 hours since you deposited it yet?

[TazFTW]

If you die and named a testament, the testament will get 40% of what is in your bank account. Cash on hand goes to no one.

[JeeberD]

GODDAMMIT RKMSUF!!! GET ON DYNAMIC2 SO I DONT JUMP BEHIND YOU EVERY POST, BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JeeberD]

but if the money gets getting applied to cash on hand everyday what good is that since it's likely nothing is in there when you get hit.

As soon as your bank money gets put in your pocket, put most of it back in the bank. Then if you get hit the 40% will go where it belongs...

[rkmsuf]

You should have that money you put in the bank on hand, no? I think after that period of time has expired, it puts it back into your pocket with the added interest. Then, you'd end up having to deposit it again or what not (if I recall correctly...)

Oh maybe it says I have zero in the bank but it got applied to my cash on hand and I didn't notice.

[TazFTW]

The money stays in the bank account for 24 hours, then gets put back to cash on hand.

What were your Counterfire settings at?

[Icy]

Well family members, i have created this forum if you want to use it.
This doesn't mean we won't use this one, but for the private stuff we can't talk in an open forum as any omerta player can come here and read about our plans as we develop as family. anyway if you don't want to use it it's ok, i just spent some time on it while stealing cars so don't worry. If you want to use that one as any other game clan, i can setup a website around it, and host the family members sigs for the game (you can upload your custom sig at omerta) or anything else we could need as family (once we create the real family, that is far from now, the game provides us a private forum too, but for what i have seen, their forum software is not that great and i preffer to keep our own forum separated from the developers one). Ok, just tell me what do you think and if it wil be usefull for us.

I know we started a board but have we started a family yet in the game, or does the person starting it need to have a certain level or money amount? if it's a money issue at a certain level, we should all pitch in a bit. I have 200,000 in the bank and 50,000 on me. I know it's not alot but I just started. lol

[Poli]

Nevstar's Witness Statement is on Obay. It expires in nearly 6 hours. We need to make a determination on who's going to buy it so we don't outbid each other.

Unfortunately, I'll be at GNC at the time.

[scarface132]

5.2) Create A Family
You may create a family, but you are bound to a city. Every city has their own maximum of families and sizes as well as their costs to set up. If you want to create a family try and find an empty spot and if you can't find one, wipe out a family first and take the empty spot. Remember: if you buy a head-quarter for 50 people you will never be able to enlarge that amount.

Does that mean if we are from different cities we can't join one big huge family? :(

[Poli]

I've spent a lot of time in jail lately. I've been making up for my blatant ignoring of busting people out of jail, as well as my attempts for narcotics and alcohol.

Lesson learned: Incorporate this into your regime early on. It won't promote you as fast, but you won't spend as much time in jail.

Also, my capo has suggested a way to earn exp and cash, but it involves obtaining a million bucks and buying a DC-3. Fly from Baltimore to Chicago and sell. Rinse and repeat.

[NevStar]

Nevstar, I got your cash. Let me know your next user id and I'll pass on the 12,800 and 3 cars to you.

Keep it. Grinding for 2 1/2 days, keeping to myself, not making any enemies, only to be killed by some 1337 d3wd who's only explanation for killing me is "OMG DIE!!1" doesn't really seem like something i want to do again right away.

Maybe once the FOFC family gets established & we can be protected somewhat, I'll restart.

Does that mean if we are from different cities we can't join one big huge family? :(

It doesn't mean that. The family headquarters can only be in one city. Mine is in Baltimore.

[Poli]

Keep it. Grinding for 2 1/2 days, keeping to myself, not making any enemies, only to be killed by some 1337 d3wd who's only explanation for killing me is "OMG DIE!!1" doesn't really seem like something i want to do again right away.

Maybe once the FOFC family gets established & we can be protected somewhat, I'll restart.

Gotcha, but I still may try and off the slug.

Am I the only one getting a little weary of this game?

I have only 800 bucks in the bank... I'm a "Picciotto" (whatever the fuck that means), with about 5% progress... and I've stolen one car (worth like $2400). I've been thrown in jail for about a dozen car theft attempts today.

I'm getting a little tired of being broke and ineffective.

You gotta keep plugging away, the more you fail, the better you will get. The only thing that really bugs me thusfar is how hard it is to work on your marksmanship. I have yet to hit anything other than my foot in about 15 attemps. lol

Franklinnoble keep trying and the % improve a lot, i have robbed like 10 cars today, and hit 5 times the beer can, but then lost 150k at the casino and my moral went down a lot, but i keep trying and trying as i do some other stuff. If you get burned then just take a rest and keep playing later... if you can win against the addiction :)

Elusive Italian Mobster Has New 'Face'

By FRANCES D'EMILIO
ROME (AP) - Police in Sicily gave a new ``face'' to Italy's No. 1 fugitive on Monday, issuing an updated composite of Mafia boss Bernardo Provenzano in hopes of ending the Corleone crime chieftain's 42 years on the run.
Authorities trying to capture Provenzano have only five photographs to go on, including two police mug shots, dating back decades when the suspect was a young man.
The computer-generated image shows the now 72-year-old mobster with receding, white hair and haggard cheeks. It was drawn up with the help of testimony from a Mafia turncoat in 2002.
Investigators have said they believe Provenzano has spent most of his years as a fugitive moving from house to house across Sicily, thanks largely to the help of Sicilians' reluctance to inform authorities.
The fugitive went to a clinic in Marseille, France, for prostate surgery, said investigators, who showed the new composite to clinic personnel.
``The French doctors said this face is that of the patient they examined,'' Palermo Prosecutor Piero Grasso said at a news conference. ``The doctors said that, compared to this composite, the man was even thinner and older (looking) because he was suffering.''
While at the clinic, Provenzano reportedly used the name of a 73-year-old Sicilian baker whose son was arrested earlier this year for allegedly providing protection and logistical support to the boss.
Grasso said authorities hoped distribution of the composite would spare some citizens unpleasant run-ins with the law, the Italian news agency Apcom reported.
He didn't elaborate, but he appeared to be referring to a Palermo man who was recently detained at the airport in Rome for 12 hours because authorities thought he looked like Provenzano.

You can't. You can put a "I'm protected by so and so" in your profile...which is supposed to make people think twice about killing you.

If Ardent did form a new family, wouldn't his current family order a hit on him?

Is there anyway to find out who are running families?

You stole a car, but because you were too nervous, you crashed against a tree along the road. Luckily you didn't hurt yourself.

You can pay that to get out of jail. However, starting out, you only get thrown in for a few seconds, up to about a minute and it takes longer than that to make the cash back.

I am buying Nevstar's Witness statement. Do not try to outbid me please. If the bid is over 60k, then someone is trying to outbid me for it. At that point, bid away, please.

As this game seems to be really addicting and we are already a good amount of players that would like to be a big official familly one day, what about if we start as a unofficial familly now? As to keep talking about this into just a thread is going to be a mess soon, I can have a private forum setup today, all us would get acounts there, web space to host our sigs in the game etc and there we can discuss all about the game, plan our statregies, revenges, etc, like other games clans, what do you guys think?

BTW Vice, thanks for the offer, i'll setup you now in my testament and with this our blood pact with be sealed :)
Considering how much this thread has grown in a day (I've only read to this post so far today, and have 200 plus more posts to read), I'd say this sounds like a very good idea.
