I didn't see it mentioned here, but I'm currently playing a game called "Omerta".

It's a pretty decent text-based RPG revolving around the mafia. I like it. I just wish that there were more...well-read...people there.



I feel odd talking about Puzo to people who seem to be illiterate. Not that all of them are. Just the younger ones. Oi!

Very confusing game! I tried it out. How the hell do you make money in this one? How do you communicate with others? I've done many different crimes and can't make a dime!

Well, here's a little tutorial.

1. Crimes. You start out with absolutely no "rank progress", as seen on the status screen. Every time you commit a crime, attempt to 'nick' a car, bust someone out of jail, or 'travel'; you gain a small fraction in your rank progress bar. If you select the option to shoot at the beer bottle as your crime, and you succeed - you gain 0.1% progress towards your "Killing skill".

You need to get both of these up, so my advice is to shoot at the bottle EVERY TIME, and then do the rest. You can make money by succeeding in the other crimes, betting at the casinos, or nicking cars; to start with.

You can usually nick a car 1 in 7 or 8 tries, after a while. I'm nicking one 1 in every 4 or 5 tries; and I'm only a "Shoplifter" by rank.

I make a GOOD bit of money nicking cars, and my killing skill is slowly going up. Bullets are a rare commodity, so you try to get a load of them. You'll need 'em.

Any other questions?

(Just for note, the 'reference' I get from the link only provides 'honor points', which are just a way of "respecting" another member or some BS. I'm not quite sure, yet. )

Ryot what is your username? I am also playing omerta. My username is the same as the one on this BB.

I found "Omerta" while searching for the Puzo book sharing the same name. It looks like it has potential, but I don't care for the format. It looks too busy: too confusing. There are a lot of things I don't understand. But I'll give it a try, my username is of course: TonyLove.

I decided to try this out because I was super bored, and I'm kind of enjoying it. I'd enjoy it a lot more if I could successfully pull of a crime, but what the hell.

Try InTheMafia.com much less confusing, better gameplay...

Anyone having problems on this site where the secret code things aren't loading? Everything else is working just fine, just those confirmation codes.

I tried joining it, but new accounts are disabled right now. I wonder why.

Are there any members of this board that are currently playing Omerta??? If so, I would like to converse with you and keep in touch while playing the game. My username is DapperDon.

I just joined... By the way happy new year, Pallies! Long time no see

I suggest "The Mafia Boss", can be very addictive, and it's very weel organized. They have many families, cities, fair rules, etc.
