Couldn't agree more mate, but as we have seen in the past years his priorities are somewhere else.. At least not in this game. :)

Atleast they can write what they feel here, without beeing hunted down like a witch in medieval europe...like lets say forums inside omerta.
And to your heart bleeding post. Its all well and dandy what you have done, what you are doing and what you will do...But I do not give a damn that you pay for someone going to the university, paying heart operation etc...All I care for, and the majority of your ever-shrinking playerbase is that you RUN and FIX the game.
And like Jordyrp said - "So what is it that *you* do? - & thanks for your interest." In general we are PAYING your salaries and apparently giving money to heart operations, giving people the chanse to study and teaching people to drive. All in all your whole Braveheart speech wouldn't be possible without your average omerta player so you should change your tone quickly mister, before you loose even more people and have to find a real job.

Sorry. I am only human. We actually are just ordinary people who work very hard. In return we come in for a lot of criticism - some of it quite personal - often tiresome and frequently rude.
That's kind of exhausting.
I *wish* I could hand over this job to one of the more vitriolic critics here - armchair critics make lousy presidents.
Yeah yeah 'you do too' !next

Wait, is the account registered Brando on here actually Brando? I was pretty sure it was a parody acount, considering some (actually, most) of the posts it made. The recent reactions to Brando's posts, however, suggest otherwise.

Log on to irc .. Speaks for itself.. Someone better start caring :')
Log on to irc .. Speaks for itself.. Someone better start caring :')
There are three reasons I can't afford to do this.
1. I am in China and the contrast in time zones means that there's almost nobody online anyway.
2. Those who hang around on their own on IRC tend to want to talk a lot about a very little
3. See 1 & 2 - I am incredibly busy & see my earlier post - I don't really manage this shit anyway - it manages itself using some reporting and giving everyone a lot of freedom and responsibility.
I never get anything done if I log into IRC. Maybe if we get some new people in this can change. I hope so!

I really don't mind the money I donate goes to heart surgery and if you really did that then that's a noble thing to do but when I read those statistics I start getting my doubts. If you would've said there is a part time coder working on omerta I would've believed it.
We never get new features, no marketing, no bug fixing (even after reporting it needs to be posted here on OB and mass abused before a fix comes), no admins to actually listen to the community.
All I see is kcode, the incompetent (volunteers) in #help, the bramblerose who only comes online to give away the weekend voucher and some idiot volenteer admins banning everyone who criticises you of the omerta forum.
You can say you contract people but what do you guys even do? Are they contracted to sit and amuse you?
Brando at 04:56:20 on 26/05:
That fund came and went - a missed opportunity maybe - but we didn't expect to be offered that money and were not harmed by not getting it. We will still run a crowdfunding bid, but later in the year.
We are also recruiting new developers & talking to the bank, as to private investors.
I don't believe that I said I 'needed 300k' - but perhaps you didn't understand the first time (& may not understand this).
Actually I am proud to say that we always ran the business without making a loss and have grown it from a small personal loan which I took out against the value of my house - a £10k loan, if you are interested.
With this we have been able to provide over 50 salaried jobs in total, so far, fund over 300 work-experience and study placements, fund one hard-up student all the way through university, train four people to drive and pay for a life-saving heart operation. Frequently criticised for being 'greedy' etc, we pay staff salaries before directors salaries and invest almost all profit in personnel costs.
So what is it that *you* do? - & thanks for your interest.

We've done all sorts of good things with the income of Omerta - but mostly we just paid salaries to good, honest, hard working people.
We got rid of a dev a couple of weeks ago who was not functioning well. We hired a new one who is great - he is working on the new chat applet and he did some light fixes on stuff like casino spot numbers during the week.
We should bring in one or two more in the coming weeks. Kcode was busy for weeks moving the game to new servers - and he is a legend & has my total support.
We have also been working for over a year to finally fully replace the (ancient) source base of the game.
When you don't see *new shit going live* it means we are *fixing deeper stuff for the future*

Ah c'mon, he only has the best of interests at heart. Well his own best interests.
Without mocking Brando any further, but wasn't that heart surgery you are refering to, not you getting a pacemaker? At least I remember a rumour of you having received one a few years ago.
If it actually was for somebody else, kudos.
BUT you are not getting bashed here over the charity you do. You are getting flamed over your captaincy of the that cruise ship called omerta. You know that tiny boat you managed to hit the iceberg with... So stop telling people how awesome you are outside this community and actually do the job this people pay you money for: Straighten out your crew and fix your damn game.
And your study placements... You ought to mention how much you pay those poor souls, while they work for you. If I recall it correctly, your funding of study placements was free labour for omerta ltd.

1. Rumours of my ill-health are vastly overstated. Mrs Brando ran & I jogged 12 Km in the blistering heat the day before yesterday. I am creaky but not in need of artificial stimulation to any of my greater organs, yet.
2. It may be a misconception of 'all you well-organised Mafia types' but *I don't run Omerta* - well - or 'I don't run Omerta well' - in fact I probably don't do either. I am a non-manger and only exist to provide the facilities which my colleagues need. That is why I joke about 'making the coffee'. I will freely admit that we need a better general manager and that *I am not he* - we can't afford one yet (this is one of the reasons why I am looking for outside finance - we need a (proper) social media manager, a proper general manager and a couple more developers - (and you need me to hang up my cafitiére).
3. We paid Grad and Undergraduate students an advised (and negotiated) wage. Short term placements were mostly for local schools in Hull and to be honest 'slave labour' is inaccurate - it takes more time to 'train' a school kid to do simple stuff than they stay in the chair for - but the kids like it, their schools like it - usually they get to review games for www.thirteen1.com - and usually we publish these too - but we hardly rely on schoolkid reviewers.
NB. Our graduates and postgraduates have all gone on to do very well indeed and we have some great testimonies.
4. That iceberg? All I see is slushy, where it used to be. The little boat is strong.
To be honest though - you don't seem to like me very much (generalising) - nor our crew, even though they are all ex-players - people from your own ranks. You don't like our developers and some of you seem to not even like the game - to wish it ill, and so on.
I am mystified as to why the haters amongst you (generalising) are still here. I was at a concert once and a heckler was giving the artist some sh*t. The artist (Ivor Cutler) was an elderly Scottish gentleman (who had been a friend of the Beatles and co during the psychedelic era) said this:
"I don't see any chains holding you down, sonny".
If I can find someone better than me (maybe half a dead chicken?) to do my job I will quit - then you'll be rid of me.
Deal?

It kind runs itself = you let it run.
Which is true, but not an 100% accurate describtion.
You let it run to the ground. That looks like the best way to describe your managerial (dis-)abilities.
"I have however been here for eleven years, though. If you have not: you don't know shit :)
If you have: we can't be all that bad :)"
Let them eat cake.
Glad you took the responsibility on yourself to say something on that scale and you did not outsource that to bramble or so.
Let's just hope your subjects are still such gay little fellowers to buy DCs this version, despite zero inovations or improvemets.
Though as an anomynous mudslinger, I feel obliged to respond with something equally witty to your "shut your pie hole and gimme your bread money"
While your head is still stuck in your rear end and not lying in a basket next to you, you are still the biggest basket case to have ever been in charge with anything, in the history of everything.

1. We work on improvements all of the time and there are always several strings of discussion to this end.
2. Omerta's worst sickness is it's age – it is still stuck in web 1 in many ways and though the community and concept are fantastic *in spirit* the interface needs a lot doing to it before we can hope to retain casual first-time visitors – we have analysed data which proves this beyond any doubt. Sadly the game source is extensive and the necessary improvements have not yet been delivered – but this too is a work in progress and some parts of it can be seen in the current Pt version and will be rolled out to the others once these are proven to be secure.
3. Omerta's greatest strengths are its community and its team, whatever you might like to say under the tatty cloak of anonymity. I value both and consider there to be more similarities than differences. After all, crew are ex-senior players as are our sysadmins and devs, most of the time.
4. It isn't run 'into the ground' we just opened a new office and hired two new developers and are advertising for more developers and hope to appoint an art director in the coming weeks.
5. I never outsource statements out-of-the ordinary to *anyone* - some of your ideas defy rationale! You consider me 'reticent to comment?' – right...
6. Zero changes this reset (we are testing on Pt and working on these
7. I'm sure you are much more than 'an anonymous, semi literate forum troll' but I am still waiting for your witty remark. Should I stay awake for that?
8. I share your hopes for our players but not your cowardly insult for them. You are another lucky punter who lacks the nuts to log in before pouring out watery spite.

1. A better rebirth system to make rebirth accounts less useless.
2. A clear end point of a version, i.e. x number of fams remaining (this is what we want instead of the RoM, just so you know).
3. The villa to work like it used to, not instant and indefinite - offline is overpowered.
4. More scripters and dupers caught, without having to report them.
5. Some way of avoiding gangbangs - there were several suggestions of how to solve this. None have been implemented, despite being requested.
6. A bigger reward for families who shoot often.
7. More group crimes, available more often.
8. Tiredness/activity to be scrapped, or improved.
9. Ontime limit to be scrapped.
10. More variety in casinos, like the ones that are still closed.
11. the return of KS, implemented in a fair, non overpowered way. Again, there were plenty of suggestions of how to do this, all of which were ignored, despite being requested.

I welcome your suggestions. Please feel free to number these in order of merit/desire/value w/e
I/my team = too busy to enter into 'immediate discussion about all of these' but I can tell you:
1, 2, 8 are actually being worked on right now.
3. - need more info, please.
4. Is 'sort of' being worked on with something more like 7, but to achieve the same end – actually retarding automated accounts (not just scripts but lackeys too) and dupes.
For me 11 is a little bit murky. Can you recall the suggestions please and maybe post them in a concise list?

He said he has people from 2.1 on his whatsapp, not that he has people since 2.1 on his whatsapp.
With that degree of reading comprehension you could easily get hired as press secretary by Brando.
I mean, I am all game for bashing Brando for his piss poor management of the game, and there's a lot of legit criticism of his way of running things. But the kcode rage is simply misplaced in my book. But if you want to talk about social networks. I know that profestum (aka the man with the multiple accounts) had brando's son on msn. That didn't save Prof from getting ip banned for a some time though. Ok, that didn't exactly stop him from playing either.
But Kcode's whatsapp list is a total non-issue.

Yes, you can have a go at whatever you like. Knock yourself out. I just took the liberty of pointing out, that I disagree with your target selection. But like I said knock yourself out, and try to get something going from that non-issue.
GL, sir.
OH MY GOD YOU HAVE OMERTA DEVS ON WHATSAPP.
That is shocking. It is well known that Omerta devs are a. Stupid and b. Morally corrupt.
THIS MUST MEAN THAT when you send them a message via Whatsapp THEY DO PRECISELY AS YOU SAY.
The world is a terrible place and our leaders are really hamster-swallowing aliens in human-effect zipper suits.
I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I READ IT ON THE INTERWEBS.

15-05 The ROM
02:50:36 - 21-05
The RoM
The RoM is a creature of conflict. Designed by myself and Matty (ex-dev) it was supposed to be a response to the player's eternal wish to 'push the button'.
As with many cures, it caused more illness than predicted, in some ways.
Let me first of all state that *crew was very divided* about its genesis - and remain so. It has more detractors than fans. Matty himself did not like the idea, but coded it because he's a good guy.
Bramblerose loathes it but uses it because *there isn't anything better*.
Recently the Pt version re-launched and from the beginning ditched the RoM - why? Because they wanted to manage the game more directly. This has been a success, mostly.
So instead of getting what the community wanted all along - the community goes back to direct management by the version's management - and loses the RoM.
Probably the RoM will be switched off 'permanently' - parenthesis because most probably *you will begin asking for it to be switched on again*. Such is life at Omerta.
It seems hard to please most people. What would *you* do?
Here are the alternatives I know. I am unsure about each. I just don't know...
1. Let the game run forever without resets.
2. Run the RoM from day one and operate a fixed quorum vote for a reset.
3. Switch the RoM on when the players ask for this, the management decided it is time to or similar.
4. Run a game round of a fixed length.
Each alternative seems to have pros and cons.
Maybe you have a better solution? I hope so...

You seem like a very gay chap!
I have never claimed to 'be running Omerta' - it kind of runs itself.
I have however been here for eleven years, though. If you have not: you don't know shit :)
If you have: we can't be all that bad :)
Pwnt.

quick answ, are u guys wanting omerta to die cause of ur new game?? if so sell it please.

A quick FYI that we are increasingly disenchanted with the RoM.
Probably the version manager decided to reset his or her version.
I am so ill-informed that I don't know which is to reset - though I am assuming that probably NL and Com will be reset soon as demographics as displayed on this site seem to suggest that they ought to.

We don't have 'a new game' - I don't know what you are talking about. Omerta Mobile is contiguous with the current version of Omerta (and it is a paper-exercise until we actually make it...)

Brando, stop fucking pretending you care about any of our opinions. Just gtfo and let the game die its slow death.
guess u wont see him here anymore for 4 weeks
Anonymous peeple. So Brave. Strong. Much perception. Wow.
Atleast they can write what they feel here, without beeing hunted down like a witch in medieval europe...like lets say forums inside omerta.
And to your heart bleeding post. Its all well and dandy what you have done, what you are doing and what you will do...But I do not give a damn that you pay for someone going to the university, paying heart operation etc...All I care for, and the majority of your ever-shrinking playerbase is that you RUN and FIX the game.
And like Jordyrp said - "So what is it that *you* do? - & thanks for your interest." In general we are PAYING your salaries and apparently giving money to heart operations, giving people the chanse to study and teaching people to drive. All in all your whole Braveheart speech wouldn't be possible without your average omerta player so you should change your tone quickly mister, before you loose even more people and have to find a real job.
It is a fair point - I support freedom of speech. But our forums are horrid.
No wonder you don't see much of the longer serving crew in there - we like work on something we hope will be an improvement - launch it - and get a total unmitigated shitstorm from oldschool players - yet when I run votes to check if you lot even agree with each other
You don't.
So we become an easy target - surely if you hate us with one voice you will assume some kind of flimsy unity?
I dunno.
Just ordinary people working hard for the game and its community. I walked my dog down to town this morning and came back with tomato purée, because I will make soup for the kids when they come in. Are you sure I am the scheming asshole you make me out to be?
My dog seems to like me and my soup is pretty good too. Any applicants for my job: you know my address. Don't forget to list your credentials besides 'anonymous forum troll with tiny little doll-testicles'.
Oops. I just trolled. I need a vacation. Wasn't directed against you Redspeert.
Anyway. I kind of like it that I get to say what I want here, too. Fuck Kredu, for example. Not only is he a money-grabbing little shit, but he is shorter and hairier than a real live hobbit too.
I need a coffee :)
