Omerta, free online mafia game

[Icy]

Doing a random search in the net i just discovered this game and signed for it. It's a free Text sim / RPG about starting your career into the mafia, you can join families, start your own, steal cars, kill other guys, bribe the police, etc etc. I'm reading the manual now but looks fun, have any of you ever heard about it or played it? Maybe it could be fun to start there our own FOFC mafia familly.

Here is the manual/FAQ (http://faq.barafranca.com/help-faq.php?lang=en)

[KeyserSoze]

And an Spanish Mafia clan ? :D You still have to "agregarme" to the messenger man!

Hey mate, i forgot as i almost don't use msn, do you use AIM or ICQ?

[wade moore]

I'd be interested in checking this out if we get a group from here...

[Poli]

Bump. I actually got into this game a via Hattrick, but it is an interesting game.

[Ramzavail]

It is interesting, I play it.

[Poli]

I'm "ardententhus" there. Darn limitations.

[hukarez]

What's the deal about the 11 click thing? I waited for a bit (5 minutes), and was able to start clicking again. Is it supposed to pace you or what not? http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif

[Ramzavail]

Yes, you can't click more than 11 times in a minute, I rarely do it.

I don't know what the point is, but maybe there is one.

[hukarez]

I don't know what the point is, but maybe there is one.
Ahh, okay. I wasn't sure what the rules of the place was. Figured, it was a 11 click thing a day or something. Excellent. This'll keep me entertained during those long downtimes at work, even though I think some of the prices at the shop/market are atrocious.

[hukarez]

How wonderful. Someone already killed me. All that work, too! http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif

[Poli]

Gah!

[hukarez]

I knew I should've maxxed out the protection options instead of getting that silly plane.

Or perhaps, I should've up'ped my killing skill or whatever. Though, I did shoot myself in the foot on more than one occasion. Argh! Too lazy to register and create right now!

Bollocks, I say! BOLLOCKS!! http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif

[vex]

What city is everyone in? Is there an FOFC family?

[Poli]

I'm in Baltimore, part of the Cupola family.

[Ramzavail]

I am a part of no ones family, and I am a shoplifter currently.

I don't think there is a FOFC family.

[hukarez]

Neither was I. But, well. You fly over to Vegas, and suddenly get killed. It was never this way in Chicago for me! http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif

[vex]

I'm in Chicago. Vegas must be rough. I'm currently a Piccoto or something. Someone bailed me out of jail though last night. Was it any of you?

[Poli]

Are you the same there?

[vex]

Yeah, but it's Vexroid

[hukarez]

Before I got wasted, someone did bail me out of jail in Chicago. "Mcnorm" something, I think. Next time I start up another account, I'll stick to Chicago. I had figured going to Vegas to do some jobs would help speed up my ranking and all, but I'll probably leave Chicago after upping my 'protection' and 'bodyguards' bit.

[GoldenEagle]

I just signed up as GangstaGE in Detroit. Repersent.

[JeeberD]

I signed up this afternoon as JeeberD in Vegas. I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than put some of my cash in the bank, though...

[GoldenEagle]

Does nick a car mean steal it?

[GoldenEagle]

I tried to rob a freakin' hot dog stand and got caught by the cops. Sweet.

[JeeberD]

I've been trying to extort kindergardners and either keep getting caught or fail but get away. I don't think I've succeeded once yet...

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Success you made $ 4 out of it

YES!!!!!!!

[Cap Ologist]

I signed up this afternoon as JeeberD in Vegas. I couldn't figure out how to do anything other than put some of my cash in the bank, though...
Sweet, let's take this town over.

[3ric]

I just signed up, I'm Pauliewalnut in Chicago

[Icy]

I'm Icekill and i'm in Las Vegas, i signed up when i started this thread but this is the first time i login into my acount. Seems it will be funny now with some fofcers, i hope one day we will have our own familly :)

[Poli]

I do know of a Hattrick family. Hattrickelli, I believe.

[Bearcat729]

I signed up as Bcat in Vegas.

[Icy]

Umm i don't underestand it well, so i can keep trying to steal stuff the whole day? just waiting for the minutes spent in jail of course, but is this game real time? can i be the whole day doing stuff in it?

[3ric]

Yeah, that's what I've been doing today while playing FM05 at the same time - I'm up to 60 crime attempts and recently gained the first level... keep trying!

[Icy]

Uff finally i managed to rob A Hot-Dog Stand!!!
Success you made $ 53 out of it

[Eaglesfan27]

This sounds like this might be a good time waster while waiting for FM to process.

[JeeberD]

Uff finally i managed to rob A Hot-Dog Stand!!!
Success you made $ 53 out of it

[Happy Dance]

I just managed to do it too!

Success you made $ 179 out of it

[/Happy Dance]

[Airhog]

Its best to just put your money in the bank for now, that way when your busted you wont lose any money!

Also, go for nicking cars right off the bat. It will increase your levels faster.

[Eaglesfan27]

Well, Eaglesfan27 wouldn't work because it won't accept numbers, but I'm EagleDoc :)

I'm starting off in Philly.

[Eaglesfan27]

YES! My first success. I extorted school children for 6 dollars :)

[Eaglesfan27]

I made 139 dollars robbing a hot dog stand. I'm 25% of the way through my first rank!

This game really is a great background diversion (particularly while FM is processing.)

[GoldenEagle]

I made $332 doing something. How can I tell what my percentage toward my next rank is?

[GoldenEagle]

I have $1781 in my account.

[JeeberD]

Check your status, GE.

[Icy]

Lol what a simple game and how addicting it is. I'm going to keep trying to steal cars while watching tv with my wife.

[TazFTW]

I can't nick a car. First I tried stealing one from outside a stadium and was too drunk and caused a spectacle. Then I noticed that the car I was going to steal belonged to the Don. Then I forgot my tools.


I did finally get a successful drug run for the crack dealer.

[3ric]

Woot, I finally have a gun, funny how I get to keep the Colt .45 even though I get busted by the cops... :)

[Cap Ologist]

It takes a long time to steal a car. I've seen tons of funny excuses, I've broken into two or three cars that had people having sex in the back. Out of 41 attempts, I've stolen 1 car. I wish this game was better documented, there lots of things I wish I knew what they meant.

[NoMyths]

If this kind of game is up your alley, try Kingdom of Loathing (http://www.kingdomofloathing.com).

[Cap Ologist]

Crimes seem to be alot easier to commit once you get a car. I think I've just robbed 5 jewelry stores in a row without being caught which hadn't happened up until now. Could be just coincidence.

[vex]

Not enough time to waste now,lol

[vex]

Is there a strategy behind selling booze? Everytime I try to sell it I get arrested.

[damnMikeBrown]

I just joined up as Drunson in Chicago.

[Travis]

Dammit. Finally nicked a car only to crash it and ruin it during the get away. Wasn't hurt at least, but man, that would have helped for a level up.

[ntndeacon]

I am playing as Ntndeacon in Chicago.

[GoldenEagle]

When can you start nicking cars?

[vex]

Wow, look at the car I just got! It has 98% damage and would cost $298,00 to fix, even though it was only 150,000 new, how much sense oes that make?

woot! I finally shot my first beer bottle with my new Tommy Gun. Bad news, it only raised my killing skill by 0.1%.

[vex]

How in the world did that just happen?

[TazFTW]

Yay, got my first car. A Model T!!! With only 8% damage inflicted.

[Travis]

I'm on there as Chillie, based in Detroit. That was only about the 25th name I tried :|

[Franklinnoble]

I'm FranklinB, in Vegas. And I suck.

That is all.

[Travis]

That's cool, I witnessed a murder, and have the option of selling my account of it on Obay for $$. Wonder if I could get any bidders...

[Eaglesfan27]

Wow, that is very cool. I'd be worried about a hit being put out on me if I told anyone.

[Travis]

If I'd been around longer than just for today, I would be, but if I die now, won't take long to get back to where I am, though I got an offer to for protection (and even busted out of jail by another guy), so I don't know what direction to take right now.

If I could only nick a few cars and get some $$ saved up so I could buy some of my own protection, things would be easier.

[vex]

How exactly do we start an FOFC family?

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm guessing we need to have enough money to start a family. I know I'm far away from that. I only have about 9,000 saved up.

[TazFTW]

Woot! I stole my 2nd car, a BMW 3/15 Wartburg Roadster with 18% damage.

[Cap Ologist]

I'm in Vegas too as CapOlogist. I think we'll have to destroy another family first and then take their spot. I think they have limited spots for families in each cities. I just bought a tommy gun and I'm about 50% through the Picciotto rank.

Add Clevelander to the family....

"Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But uh, until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day."

[CleBrownsfan]

How exactly do we start an FOFC family?

I will donate my $$$ to help start the family. Don't know how much we need but I do have close to $60,000...

What rank are you guys... I'm 23.56% in to Picciotto

[Poli]

I'm a pickpocket and 20% to the next level.

[damnMikeBrown]

Same, Picciotto, a little over 40% through. I've got a Tommy Gun with no bullets. . .they seem like they're a limiter, a bit hard to buy. I've got a bullet proof vest, and a body guard as well. I'm still mucking around with crimes and hoping on the nick a car. . .

[vex]

I'm 53.36% through Piciotto level. I have a Tommy Gun, 18 bullets, 1 bodyguard and have cars in two cities so far.

[vex]

I'm in Vegas too as CapOlogist. I think we'll have to destroy another family first and then take their spot. I think they have limited spots for families in each cities. I just bought a tommy gun and I'm about 50% through the Picciotto rank.

That's how I understand it. Looks like the best bet might be for us all to goto Vegas later on. There are only 2 families there so if we can befriend one, we might be able to overtake the other. That and booze is extremely cheap in Vegas. Last night, I bought 3 units of whiskey at $1,800 a pop. Came back to Chicgo and sold all three for $3800 a unit.

[vex]

Since it's going to be close to impossible to create an FOFC family right now, which one do you all think we should try to join? Hattrickelli is recruiting, but they seem to be mostly Spanish speaking. Cupola? Chikara? And we need to remember to look at buyout fees. For instance, Hattrickelli is only $999,999, while Chikara is $1,999,999 I believe.

[Poli]

I'm in Cupola.

[vex]

Is Cupola recruiting, and/or can you get us on?

[vex]

I see we have to be 10 days into pickpocket level to get in. This could take a while.

[Poli]

I kind of got lucky and got in a little early.

[Icy]

Great, just lost all that i had from my crimes gambling at the Roulette that is even more sad as i'm a casino webmaster.

[Poli]

That scratch and win has taken more than it's fair share from me. I keep going there in hopes of scoring some bullets.

[Icy]

WOW i just made it on my pants trying to steal a car!

"On the verge of breaking a window, you realised that this was the car of the don of one of the big families. Therefore you left it untouched"

[CleBrownsfan]

WOW i just made it on my pants trying to steal a car!

"On the verge of breaking a window, you realised that this was the car of the don of one of the big families. Therefore you left it untouched"

After smashing the window you noticed a couple making love in the back, luckely they didn't come after you!

[Icy]

CleBrownsfan, i have read i can donate blood for money, but when i enter at the blood bank, i only see the option to purchase, where is that?

[CleBrownsfan]

CleBrownsfan, i have read i can donate blood for money, but when i enter at the blood bank, i only see the option to purchase, where is that?

That's the only option I also see - not sure how to sell blood...

[rkmsuf]

I could be the worst hotdog stand robber in the history of Vegas.

[Poli]

I think you have to be a shoplifter to sell blood, guys.

[JeeberD]

I want to nick a car, dammit! :mad:

[JeeberD]

Dola-

How do you add friends?

[rkmsuf]

How many times can they pick you up on trying to extort a kindergarden before I think that crime may not be for me?

[vex]

I read that you can actually no longer sell blood, regardless of your rank. So can you sell, AE?

[vex]

Dola-

How do you add friends?At the very bottom of the "toolbar", it's the quick lookup function. Enter their name there.

[JeeberD]

Woot! I got a car!!!

Success: you stole a Packard 1100 Sedan with 34 percent damage

Hey Vexy, I'll race you for $100!

I think we have to be in the same city. I'm in Vegas currently.

The game says that you've accepted but that you need to select a car. Is it not letting you do that?

[JeeberD]

3.5 minutes? No prob...

[rafini]

I just joined up (TRafini) and have been arrested 6,745 times in the last 10 minutes. I don't know if I'm cut out for this life.

Keep trying and trying, the more times you try, the better get the % of success.

[vex]

I think we have to be in the same city. I'm in Vegas currently.

The game says that you've accepted but that you need to select a car. Is it not letting you do that?
Oh, I'm in Chi-Town right now, but I have a car in Vegas.

[Poli]

I read that you can actually no longer sell blood, regardless of your rank. So can you sell, AE?

I have done it before, but I haven't done it in a while. I'll try later on when my work is slower.

[CleBrownsfan]

3.5 minutes? No prob...


Damn you won!!!!

Good race ;)

[JeeberD]

Thanks! Guess my car isn't as crappy as I thought...

[bhlloy]

WelshMafioso... haven't had much time to play so I'm pretty low level right now

[3ric]

Jeebs, I challenged you for a $100 race...

[JeeberD]

Where in the heck doI find my car ID?

[JeeberD]

It's always said that my garage contains 0 cars yet I know I've stolen one (two actually, but I sold the crappy second one)...

[3ric]

In "Garage" under "Crimes" maybe?

[Poli]

If you race and the stakes are too low, you lose your car regardless.

Also, it does appear that donating blood is not an option any more. Fair enough, there are other ways to make cash.

I'd suggest you shoot the bottle for crimes and keep trying to nick cars. Cars are less successful but can be pretty rewarding after a while. Shooting the bottle is two fold, you're more dangerous as a killer and as a target. The other crimes just don't pay that well, anyway.

Shooting the bottle is still incredibly hard for me. I've only hit the bottle 39 out of infinity times. Still my 3.9% killing skill is better than nothing.

[Poli]

Dola: I'll write the first person to send me honor points into my will. :)

[Poli]

A good example of why nicking cars is much better. :)

[Franklinnoble]

Maybe somebody stole your car.

[3ric]

Oh well. I canceled the race in case something went wrong...

[Bearcat729]

Oh Boy I just extorted a kindergarten for $2, and then stol my first car. A Reo Royale 8 Convertible with 32 percent damage worth $31,000

[Poli]

Darn bug. My good example post should have came after Bearcat's.

[Poli]

I lost my hook up early on in a $1000 race. I learned the lesson the hard way as well.

[JeeberD]

If you race and the stakes are too low, you lose your car regardless.


That was probably it, lost it during the $100 CBF race. :(

Thanks, AE...

[Poli]

I'm assuming that you need bullets for that? Spending nearly a grand on a bullet is difficult for me to swallow...

It doesn't cost bullets, which was my initial fear. You should be able to do so without a gun and without bullets.

If you're including all FOFC'ers and not just one's from a certain city, you can add Chillie (in Detroit) to the list. Provided he hasn't died since I checked this morning.

What is the minimum amount you need to race for then?

[Ramzavail]

Add me, Ramzavail, I am a shoplifter. I hang in Philly.

[Poli]

What is the minimum amount you need to race for then?

Actually, it looks like that may have been changed. I don't see a limit there anymore, where as I'm almost positive there was once. 10%, hmmm. I don't see in the FAQ what NB stands for.

Oh well. At least I've won one. :)

[sterlingice]

Man, the bullets are never in stock at the local (cheap) bullet market. Anyone seen a patter to when they are for sale?

SI

[sterlingice]

So if you buy somebody out of jail is that a bustout?
Nope. Thankfully it only cost $250 to test that theory (found a cheapie).

[iceberg414]

I am zsberg and I am in New York. This game is HIGHLY addicting. We should have a group in each city. That way we can relay booze and drug prices to each other. Then people can make drug and boose runs.

[JeeberD]

Oh man, I was just able to get another car but it's worth $120k. I want to keep it, but I think the cash might be more useful!

Gar!

You have to have a gun. That is the only way it worked for me.

No, it just seems like an error, it shows a white page in the central frame, nothing else.

Blingin'! :D :D :D

So how do I go about getting that 1% fixed?

Edit: Nevermind, I see how to do it now. Soooo awesome! :D

[Travis]

Been a good day for nicking cars. Couldn't get a one last night, probably nabbed 6 during the day at work. Too bad only 1 was worth more than $5,000, but hey, I'll be able to afford a gun soon.

I hope.

Finally my first car, but was a crap one that just sold for $500.

Bugatti Type 38 Torpedo 27% $3,273 Las Vegas

The cheaper one is the faster one (87 miles/h vs 85 miles/h) so i'm going to sell the more expensive one and buy my first gun!!

I'm only 36% into Picciotto. I'll let you know when I level at the end of the week...

OK, I finally see how to bust people out. Pretty obvious...

Banner day for cars, I just stole my seventh. This one I sold for 12k. I now have nearly 150k total after starting the day with about $2500... :)

[JeeberD]

And stole another one... :cool:

[JeeberD]

Double dola-

Is it a good idea to name someone as your Testament? ANd if so, which one of you goons should I choose?

Man do I suck at stealing cars. I've only succeeded once. Seems like my guy is always tipsy :)

[Eaglesfan27]

What rank do you have to be to steal a car? I'm a Picciotto and my chance to steal a car is 0%

[TazFTW]

I'm a piccioto and have stolen 5 cars.

[Vince]

I'm 1/32 in car stealing right now. My percentages are anywhere from 10 to 25% on average.

[JeeberD]

It took me a while as a Picciotto before I stole one, but I've managed to get like eight or ten today...

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Just start trying, Doc. The more attempts the better the percentages will become...

[Bearcat729]

Hmm I still have about 85% until my next rank. I did steal another Mercedes-Benz W125 with 73 percent damage so I sold the first for $500

When Vexroid walked out of the casino he saw a couple of guys wearing black suits standing on the opposite side of the street. As soon as they saw Vexroid they pulled their tommyguns and gave him a couple of extra holes to breath through. Vexroid is swimming with the fishes now.

[sterlingice]

I wish there was a way to find out who did this.

SI

[vex]

Interesting...

Where did that come from?

[TazFTW]

Interesting...

who killed him? i had like 40 detectives lookin for his ass and wasted my money becuse you got to him before me. no hard fealings though

[vex]

The RIP Forum. Someone called Rubberface

What is his rank? Family?

[TazFTW]

There's a link called RIP forum. It lists the people who just died, that message was posted in your In Mememorium thread.

[JeeberD]

My friends, they're dropping like flies. I want to get some revenge!

[Bearcat729]

Where did that come from?


The RIP Forum. Someone called Rubberface

[Cap Ologist]

I came home and found out that I'm dead. That stinks.

[TazFTW]

Rubberface belongs to the Aguilera family, he is an associate.

[Eaglesfan27]

Sorry to hear that you guys died. Should I be trying to steal a car even when the percentage is listed as 0%?

[Cap Ologist]

yeah, even if you get caught it helps speed up your progression to new levels. plus, i don't the percentage will change unless you attempt and then have to start a new search for places to jack cars.

[TazFTW]

He kissed his wife goodbye,
Minutes later people heared her cry,
He threw the wrong dice,
Got shot in the head twice,
She never knew why.

In memoriam: CapologistSorry Cap.

[Eaglesfan27]

Excellent, after a few attempts my percentage has risen to 1%.

[Airhog]

Isnt there a thing called a witness statement?

[sterlingice]

Perhaps we should trim down our friends list a little. I'm guessing that's what attracted attention to vex.

SI

[Eaglesfan27]

Interesting theory.. (goes to start trimming friend list a bit.)

[hukarez]

My previous incarnation had no friends listed, and I still got capped! Though, well, I did have some kind of portrait action going on. Plus, it happened just when I shifted over to Vegas from Chicago...

Sucks big time, though. I'm taking it real carefully with Juicyfruit, though.

[sterlingice]

Interesting theory.. (goes to start trimming friend list a bit.)
I figure people would think a low level with lots of friends could be a threat someday.

SI

[Airhog]

Im not sure how you can deduce that sterlingice.

[TazFTW]

Woo hoo! Just stole the second highest car in the game, the Mercedez-Benz W-125 with 7% damage.

[sterlingice]

Im not sure how you can deduce that sterlingice.
I could also be very wrong, too :)

I just figure in a game like this, the families will take a decent note of some of the new people joining to keep competition down before they get good.

Or who knows, maybe there's a rogue FOFC assassin ;)

SI

[Airhog]

I bet AE did it :D

[GoldenEagle]

No one messes with FOFC. Just wait till we get powerful. I think that really takes away from the game. I am going to buy some protection. What should I invest in?

[Airhog]

I am beginning to see what you should do. Dont go for rank from the beginning, just practice shooting the bottle. Then get cash, and buy a gun to defend yourself :D

[Vince]

Sweet -- I just stole a car worth $30,000. What to do with the money...

[sterlingice]

Sweet -- I just stole a car worth $30,000. What to do with the money...
Invest in a gun seems like a good idea considering how things are going.

SI

[sterlingice]

Might want to make sure everyone has a testament so that if someone is knocking off FOFC'ers, the stuff doesn't go to waste.

SI

[TazFTW]

I sold my Mercedez. :(

With the money, I bought a bulletproof suit, a tommy gun, and 20 bullets.

[Vince]

Invest in a gun seems like a good idea considering how things are going.

Seems like a good idea -- but should I wait until I can scrounge up another $1,000 or so to get the Tommy Gun? Or should I go for a magnum right now?

[sterlingice]

Seems like a good idea -- but should I wait until I can scrounge up another $1,000 or so to get the Tommy Gun? Or should I go for a magnum right now?
Should be able to get 1K pretty quick. Best to get quality :D

Under your profile

[hukarez]

Might want to make sure everyone has a testament so that if someone is knocking off FOFC'ers, the stuff doesn't go to waste.

SI How do you go about making a testament anyways??

Before I was killed, I had about $200k in the bank, and was only 20% away from Shoplifter. Not to mention a Tommy Gun with 40 bullets, and a vest. Then again, well...I should've started practicing with the bottle, if I wasn't in such a hurry for $$$. http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif

EDIT: Nevermind! Saw post above.

[Airhog]

You can set a testament up in your profile

[GoldenEagle]

What would be the point of setting up a testament?

[hukarez]

What would be the point of setting up a testament?
Kind of like a 'will' for some other player to inherit your cars/cash in the bank, I think.

[Eaglesfan27]

Exactly. I'm trying to decide which one of you to make my beneficiary. I'm saving up for a Tommy Gun (still a long way off.)

[Vince]

Should be able to get 1K pretty quick. Best to get quality :D

SI
Yeah, it didn't take very long. Now all I want to do is buy bullets though, and I'm broke :)

[Vince]

Well, I'll set someone up as my benificiary, if they will return the favor. Seems like a good idea, mutual protection pact and all that.

[Bearcat729]

I set up Ardent as mine. I figure that he could at least give me a bit of my money back should I die. And he probably has the best chance of not being killed of the group.

[hukarez]

I put Sterlingini as mine. Pretty much the first name on JeeberD's list on page 3 that I saw. http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thanks. Tho, I had already made arrangements with someone else for my testament so that may change your mind. I would be grateful and pledge to avenge in the event of your death but if you choose someone else, I would understand :)

SI

[sterlingice]

Obay has a witness statement about who killed Capologist (but it costs 60K or something).

SI

[Cap Ologist]

so the punk who killed me wants to make 60000 off of it. i won't accept this killing. i'll be back stronger and more powerful than ever.

[Cap Ologist]

What exactly does a witness statement do anyway?

[GoldenEagle]

Obay has a witness statement about who killed Capologist (but it costs 60K or something).

SI
If we maybe give 3k each we could buy it.

[Cap Ologist]

No it doesn't waste one of your bullets. I wouldn't bid on the witness statement, you might be signing your own death warrant if you do.

[Eaglesfan27]

I put JeeberD down just as a random name.

[GoldenEagle]

Does it waste one of your bullets if you practice shooting it?

[TazFTW]

Does it waste one of your bullets if you practice shooting it?
No.

[Icy]

Sorry to hear some of you died, we will revenge for sure!!

I have 30k now, as soon as i reach the 35k i'll buy the tommygun and will start to practice shooting for a while. Btw, i agree about the testament, we should protect each others, who wants a exchange of testaments with me?

[Travis]

Anybody else here staying in Detroit? I've got a car, a gun, a bodyguard and a bullet proof suit, so I'm hoping to stick around for a bit and maybe race a few times ;)

[Vince]

Icy, I'll be happy to set you up in my will and testament. My character is Cressio, in Chicago right now.

As for shooting practice, my character seems to always be drunk -- I've tried it like a billion times, and I've been arrested at least 10 times, shot myself in the foot once, and missed the damn bottle every single time.
