Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 05, 2004, 06:31:33 PM
This is a cool maffia game (30's style, text based) u start as a random criminal and u gotta make ur own empire, ive just started playing and i like it, a cool thing about killing people is that sum1 is only allowed 1 account and if u kill the person he can't create a new one  :)
also we could start our own 'family' or something (its like a clan, with a 'don' and all, i'm not in one yet)

anyways, here's the link, check it out:

I would, but registration is closed, and I can't seem to find a page with all the game info.  :miffed:  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 06, 2004, 05:38:14 PM
ah it's closed again? damn...  well they're trying to keep it small, as it isn't überfast now either
(also i found out starting a family isn't easy, as you'll have to take over an other family (buy one, and it's expensive, u gotta be good first before u make enought money)

that looks so cool.  :angry: stupid registration


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 28, 2004, 07:53:31 PM
if sum1 is still interested, i believe registration is open again :cool: be fast tho
and i really like the game, i quit KoC and this is my new addiction :)

hey, does it matter what city i start out in?


Title: Barafranca
Post by: Galmort on February 28, 2004, 08:18:07 PM
I picked Las Vegas :)  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 28, 2004, 08:18:45 PM
vegas it is then. :)  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 28, 2004, 08:19:01 PM
nah not really, just don't start in one of the italian cities (corleone and palermo) cause you'll be stuck there for a while if u do

what are ur names? cause i could loan/give u people sum money to start out with, so that u can buy a tommygun, or invest to do booze runs (if u like the game that is)

btw my name is mathotman


Title: Barafranca
Post by: Galmort on February 28, 2004, 08:23:04 PM
Galmort :) . Not a very swell mafia name huh?


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 28, 2004, 08:26:28 PM
not too bad, ow and the game kinda sux if ur just starting off (you get cought by the cops a lot) but later on, when u can join a family and such it'll get better.
if u have any questions (about most profitable booze routes and other things u gotta know) ask me here or mssg me in game, i think i should be able to answer all ur questions :)  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 28, 2004, 08:38:44 PM
:P well, evilknight is my name. so bleh.
also, when i type in the code to do a crime, it says i didnt enter it right.  2 5 y. do you put in the spaces or just type it like it is? either way it's telling me i put in the wrong code.


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 28, 2004, 08:41:42 PM
yeah u have to use capitals for all the letters :P
i'll send u some money now (it'd take u hours to get that amount of money when u just started) Galmort has to wait, as i can't find him  yet...


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 28, 2004, 08:42:45 PM
LOL, ok, thx.
is there any way we can both be in teh same family, even if we're in different cities?


Title: Barafranca
Post by: Galmort on February 28, 2004, 08:46:44 PM
i haven't done the verification yet...i'll do it soon....


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 28, 2004, 08:47:20 PM
well i'm in a family allready, and most (i think all) families only accept members if they're ranked assassin+, which would take u a while... also there's a limited number of families so you can't start your own (unless u free a spot by killing a family and buy the new spot, which will give you war)
the city doesn't really matter, as you can travel between different cities (if you have a plain you can go everywhere, otherwise you'll have to stay in the US and u can travel less frequent)
also the big difference between KoC and this game is that wars actually do matter, as if you get killed, you're just out of the game and you'll have to start all over again, so you gotta watch out more with who you insult (and you got to know the right people so you'll have protection) also people don't start a war just for nothing in this game...

and about the start, i suggest you'd buy a tommygun with the money i sent you, and just do crimes and make your rank go up, it'll be hard in the beginning but you'll like it afterwards...


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 28, 2004, 08:51:15 PM
k then.
/me goes off to extort kindergardeners for their money.
man, i can only imagine how much lunch money im going to need to buy enough bullets. :(  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 28, 2004, 08:53:10 PM
hehe if u want to kill a guy that just started like you, i'd need 1500 bullets i think, which would cost me around 1,2 million :P if i'd want to kill a godfather i'd need around 30.000 bullets :huh: also i'd be dead because of the backfire he'd give me :ph34r:  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 28, 2004, 08:55:15 PM
yeah, but right now ive just got a tommy gun and 2 bullets. and it gives me a 6% success chance at extorting a kindergardener for their money. man that's sad. i mean, if a guy walked up to me with a gun and even had a single bullet in it.....damn, these kids must be pretty badass


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 28, 2004, 08:59:10 PM
hehe
U GOT BULLETS!?!?! u must've been sooooo lucky you saw them... i only saw them like 10 times in the time i played this game :( i'll get out of NY and baltimore (the most  busy cities because of the booze route between them) and to italy and i'll hope to buy a few thousand bullets soonish...
but i don't think you should buy bullets right now, i don't even really need them yet, just save for a Douglas DC-3 and in the meanwhile improve your rank and at some point start doing booze runs, that's the way you make money, you shouldn't even think about killing people yet, bullets are useless when you just started


Title: Barafranca

k opper, im in....


Title: Barafranca

i sent you some money too, and now don't go gamble with it ;)  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: Galmort on February 28, 2004, 09:03:52 PM
yes i see, thank you much, but it won't let me put it in the bank, it let me put my first 500 in there though.. <_<  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 28, 2004, 09:06:05 PM
k opper. i only got 2 anywayz, so i should be set for now. btw, those % signs that appear next to crimes, that's your chance for success, right? and if it is, how do you improve your chances, besides buying a bigger gun?


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 28, 2004, 09:06:33 PM
well putting it in the bank will only get u 3500 in a whole day, which isn't really worth it, i think the best idea is to buy a tommygun with it...

also after that when you've got some money to buy booze, you should travel to baltimore, buy whiskey there, travel to new york, sell the whiskey, buy amaretto there and travel back to baltimore
just continue doing that until you've got your million (and do you crimes/carjacking in the meanwhile of course)

evil your %'s will go up with your rank (experience) which means just do a lot of crimes, steal a lot of cars, and travel a lot... my %'s are all over 90% for the extorting and robbing the hot dog stands allmost allways


Title: Barafranca

yeah, each crime you commit increases your percent for your next promotion.
right now, im a pickpocket. so now each crime only increases my % by 1.5 for my next promotion.

i'm an assassin and a long long way from local chief (at 0,02% every succesfull crime), but hey i have like 80 cars :cool: gonna crush 'em all tomorrow tho, they give 12 bullets each, so keep the cheep cars (from 1000 to 5000 worth) and sell the rest... oh and keep all the caddy's and roll's royces under 25%, they are suitable to do organized crimes with later on, if u got a higher rank (if u do an OC now, it'll cost you more then you'll win...)

the barafranca thing? well it isn't good to just play barafranca, but it's good to combine with chatting or games like runescape and such...
i don't take it too serious either, my plan is just to kill one of the big guys and get shot by the massive backfire and quit after that :P
the reason i play this is actually because my friends who i know in real life play it... and are good at it :) i know the don of my family and some other powerfull players


Title: Barafranca

Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 29, 2004, 03:45:37 AM
depends on your level. as an associate, i have to wait more than two minutes to get out, so i usually just pay bail and then rob a jewelry store, which covers almost the entire cost. so, if you can offset the cost of bail with crimes and thefts, then it's worth it. :)
AND WHY THE FUCK DO I KEEP GETTING CAUGHT BUYING BOOZE? :angry:

Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 29, 2004, 05:10:16 PM
ok i read quick trough all these pages, and first advice: never bali urself out, i never do as it really doesn't pay off (only if ur about to do an oc and don't want your people to wait i'd consider bailing myself out)
and the bank thing, i never get my money out of the bank because then the 24 hours to get your interest start over, and the only purpose of putting your money in the bank is getting interest, the money isn't safer over there (and i think the reason you'll have to get all your money out first is that otherwise it would get too complicated to calculate your interest and when you would get it
another thing, all the associates out there should save up some money (sell all your cars that are worth over 5k except rolls and caddies that have under 25% damage) and do booze runs with as much booze as possible between baltimore and NY, that's the way to make money, in the beginning you'll get cought a lot but when you keep trying that'll happen less and less (also the number of booze you buy does not affect the chances of getting cought, so buy as much at once as you can carry, which differs per rank)

i dunno if i missed some questions...

keep committing crimes, it gets a lot easier as you go up. move from kindergardeners to other crimes as soon as you can, the payoff is much better.
also, does buying a plane make it so you can travel more often? or is it just so you can go to italy?

Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 29, 2004, 09:41:32 PM
i think travelling as much as possible (with booze runs) is the best thing to do, as travelling gives your rank quite a boost (more then stealing or carjacking) also you can make over 1000 profit per unit, so it's quite a large money generator too, it gives me around 25k an hour...


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on February 29, 2004, 09:47:02 PM
just wondering...
the game doesn't seem to have a visible counter for booze runs.
then how can you be sure that you get caught less and less as you try it?


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 29, 2004, 09:47:13 PM
but is it good to have a high rank? i mean, people with high ranks tend to end up.....you know, dead. :(  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 29, 2004, 09:50:36 PM
if you don't make any enemies it's very unlikely you'll end up dead, just because nobody will know you... and nobody's gonna spend a few millions on killing you just for nothing
high ranked people tend to end up dead as they are more likely to want what is from other people, like casino's and especially bulletfactories, and you'll need rank if you ever want to join a family, as they don't take people that are less then assassin

and gandalf i'm not sure if it happens less if your rank increases or with the tries you give it, but it gets less... i hardly ever get cought anymore


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on February 29, 2004, 09:51:58 PM
opp, thanks.  just noticed the 40k transfer ;)

not sure what to do with it, so i'll try a booze run and see if i can get 15 of the costliest...


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 29, 2004, 09:54:50 PM
no not the most expensive... the most money you'll get with booze runs works like this:
buy whiskey in baltimore and sell it in NY, buy amaretto in NY and sell it in baltimore, and again...

Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on February 29, 2004, 09:58:31 PM
dude, like everybody started there.
first, start doing crimes. you get caught a lot, but keep doing them and you'll get better over time. then, save up for a ticket to either new york or baltimore. if you went to new york, buy amaretto and sell it in baltimore. if you went to baltimore, buy whiskey and sell it in newyork. of course, keep doing crimes and jacking cars while your at it.

*no im not high* :)  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on February 29, 2004, 09:59:33 PM
i haven't got the slightest idea... if whiskey is under 2700 get whiskey and go to NY, if amaretto is around 1500 get amaretto and go to baltimore, i think that'd be the smartest thing to do

Do the carjacking chances ever go above 40%?
Just that I don't think I ever seen it go much higher...

What's everyone's position anyway? (I assume that's the equivalent of ranking?)
Mine's:
#6500

(hmm... 30% of the way to Assassin...)

opper: just noticed in your quote(in the game).... stealing a car with 100% damage is NOT good, from the game mechanics... the car's completely wasted with a 100% damage. (they seem to give only 1k no matter how good the cars originally were)

sell the audi, only keep caddi's and rolls' at low damage to do oc's the rest are only good for money (and if you ever want to join a family, save all the 1k cars, as you can get 12 bullets from them)

but then i guess i should wait till i get a few million, one for banking, another for protection, another for buying bullets, and 200k for the best plane (already have Fleet 7, and 260k on hand)...
that'll be 3.2mill... hmmmm.....
40% left till i become an assassin

Even then, I think it's just easier, cheaper, and safer to keep the cars for OC or just to sell...
I mean, you want to risk losing the car? Even if you win, the car's going to get damaged anyway.
And during the seconds that you're wasting on car races, you could be attempting OC with a few friends... (which i'm going to try as soon as i get to assassin)

Cadillac 85 Fleetwood   0%   $83600   New York
8-9 more cars in New York and Baltimore, all of them worth only 1k each...

Stats:
Crime attempts   827
Carjacking attempts   289
Rank progress   91.8% in Soldier.
(currently in Baltimore, i think...)
the site stopped responding <_<
i killed it?
i'd be getting myself to Assassin if i could continue...

and once again, can anybody translate this? eej meedoen aan een oc
it's dutch  :) lots of dutch people in the game, as i it was made by a dutchman too, it means:
'hi do you want to join in on an oc?' (oc=organized crime)

also i saw sum1 that repaired a bentley to 0% and another one got confiscated, once more i say sell ALL you cars (that include bentley's) except for low damage caddi's and rolls', caddis and rolls' are the most suitable for doing oc's
and yes car racing is just for fun and it isn't worth to race with expensive cars, if i race (only did it like 3 times) i race with a $1000 car and just for fun (and defenitely don't ship them...)

and the motorcycle nor the lyncoln can be confisquated... they're just protection, just like the suit


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on March 02, 2004, 11:21:54 PM
hey opper, i suggested your name as weapons expert for an oc. im the driver, but all ive got is a 0% bentley


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on March 02, 2004, 11:26:19 PM
ehm a bentley is no good, we'll need a caddi or a rolls... and it's best if we only do it with assassins as that gives the least risk of loozing money and will increase the profit
who where the other people you suggested? or should i fix some guys


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on March 02, 2004, 11:28:45 PM
well, one of them is named wormermario. the other guy i dont know his name. i deleted his message after it got translated. but if you want, i can always just tell him im not interested, i can make up an excuse and then u and i can do an oc. :P  in fact, i think ill do that.
*goes off to make an excuse*


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on March 02, 2004, 11:30:57 PM
yeah i'd like to do an oc with u guys, but if i get asked by some friends of mine to do an oc i'll take it, so it'll take another 12 hours, timezones kinda suck here
(we needed a driver like 7 hours ago and i knew galmort had a caddi but he wasn't there... :( )


Title: Barafranca

i think these are the best odds ive had for a crime.
 Extort A Kindergarten 99%
 Rob A Hot-Dog Stand 93%
 Make A Drug Run For A Crack Dealer 99%
 Bribe The Local Police In Name Of A Drugs Cartell 91%
 Rob A Jeweller 70%
 


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on March 03, 2004, 04:07:31 AM
also, since gandalf is an assasin now, and im only 40% or so towards being an assasin, im just gonna let him use his car and sell mine, k?


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 03, 2004, 04:15:11 AM
After thinking about it all...

Keep a lot of junk cars (ones worth only 1k) around.

It probably raises the chance of the feds coming around and confiscating a car, but the upside is, they're only worth 1k, and it'll be less chance for them to confiscate the cars that are worth a lot more.

I have about 12 of them around aside from a Rolls Royce Phantom 21% and two Cadillac 85's at 0% and 34% each.  :D


Title: Barafranca
Post by: evilknight on March 03, 2004, 04:17:11 AM
kool, then this shit is so sold.


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 03, 2004, 04:45:59 AM
Wondering how far "repairing" is worth...
Cadillac 85 Fleetwood   55%   $14630   New York
That car'll cost probably near 50k for repairs...

Is it better to repair? or no?
(same goes with the other cadi, and the rolls i have, mentioned in the other post)

other questions:
is there a difference in the kind of cars you can steal depending on the city you choose? how about place(the 4 different choices)?


update:
sold off that 55% cadi. got myself another cadi at 20%. (all the Cadillacs are at NY, strangely.)
15.4% through Assassin(positioned at  #3663).  Currently in NY.
Got 145k on hand (lot more in bank) for anything.
Lemme know when you want to do OC ;)

money on hand isn't really a problem... already doubled it by now.

does busting out people give you rank progress?

there was something else i wanted to ask, forgot what it was....
oh well.

i'll stay in NY for the rest of today
anyone up for making a family? :D it sounds interesting...


Title: Barafranca

Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on March 03, 2004, 03:57:42 PM
and after that you'll need 25-100 million to buy your spot... and you need connections so you won't killed on your first day

about the cars, i only repair/keep them if they're under 25% damaged

ow and you'll need a max of 100.000 for an oc (and 100 bullets if you're the WE


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 03, 2004, 09:18:01 PM
bought 200 bullets... should have bought from the local mafia instead...

guess i'll be making a lot more money then... (and from the looks of it, if i can't do an OC tonight, i'll have to wait till friday)


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on March 03, 2004, 10:48:47 PM
why do you make more money you think?
and for an oc the time zones really suck, i checked if you where online this midday cause we needed a 4th man but none of you were here... so we waited till a friend of mine came online :unsure:

Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on March 04, 2004, 01:41:02 PM
barafranca also has it's own chat-channel, if you really want to do an oc you can go there and there'll prolly be people who want to do one (especially if you have a car or don't mind being a weapons expert your chances are good i think)
ow als o the people who are assassin+, i might be able to get you into my family, so you can do OC's with my family members too (we also have a channel, but i think everybody speaks dutch there...)


Title: Barafranca

yeah or just don't come in the chat... not much people come there anyways, and you can allways just ask if sum1 wants to do an oc, not being dutch is not really a problem as i believe we have a candadian too
ow and i just did an OC with my family members, we made 2,3 mil :cool: made a $486000 profit out of it :)  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 04, 2004, 03:52:43 PM
damn you...
was part of an OC here:
The organised crime you where part from made $1,284,000.

But have to pay a Rolls Royce for it...? Ouch.


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on March 04, 2004, 03:56:39 PM
1,2 mil isn't bad for your first OC, check my profile for all my OC profits (and no the $0 is not a joke, the site went all berserk just when we did our OC <_< t was my first OC too, luckily my leader gave me the money i invested back as it was partly his fault)
and u were the driver? well it isn't bad, giving a rolls and getting around 270k (that's my estimation) isn't too bad is it?


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 04, 2004, 04:10:10 PM
well, the money's not bad, but it hurts when you have to give up your only Rolls Royce...

Title: Barafranca

he asked me if i was involved in any family before, or played Omerta 1... i said no, but any importance?

mmm... 10mill a day? wouldn't be a problem if someone had 500mill in bank all the time... hahahahaha

damn.
/me goes off to look for more cars.

i read through some of the meeting logs: if you successfully bust someone out, you DO get a small amount of rank progress....

not sure if it's implemented already or not tho

i'm not sure if the creators actually meant to make the safehouse for cars a mere flat one-time fee of 10k each... i mean, safehouse for players and bribing feds from taking away your cars have prices in minutes... exponentially.

oh well, 67% more and i'll be a local chief  :ph34r:

but i have to be sure:
transfer 222,223? or simply 200,000? (one takes care of the transfer fee, and with the other Jinza will receive only 180,000)

it's a difference of only 22,223, but...

Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 05, 2004, 05:30:02 AM
People, let's keep in mind that when you're doing a high-risk operation like OC, USE YOUR BEST EQUIPMENT.
If 3 out of the 4 people put in $100k+ worth of equipment/etc, but the 4th person only $50k, your whole operation is screwed up.

Example: 2 Tommy Guns for the team of 4 got my team barely $380k.

Get my point?

My share didn't break even with the 100k I spent on C4's and the travel cost from NY to Vegas... :angry:

Another 12hrs til I go on an OC... sigh.  I'm making rules next time I join a team. :hmmm:

Update: Woot! Halfway to Local Chief :D
Gonna start living off bank interests... (earn 140k every day without doing anything? sweet!) Have to do something about getting protection, and mebbe bodyguards... bleh, push that off for another day or two


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on March 05, 2004, 05:22:41 PM
you don't need bodyguards, they'll only protect you if you have a casino or a bullet factory, which you won't get anytime soon...

and yes you should only do oc's if everybody buys the max, which means 4 tommyguns=$100k 100 bullets= ~750k, C4= 100k and a rolls or a caddi= ~90-100k

ow and gand if you got the witness statement of sjunkie could you pm it to me and to me only (well and to the don, but not anybody else in the family, we kinda suspect sum people can't be trusted...)

Post by: opperdude on March 05, 2004, 08:23:30 PM
congrats on your rolls :) if it's at a low % you'd better stall it

and about the jail thing, you are choosing the ones with the highest % are you? (i do the jewelry only if my chance is 40%+)


Title: Barafranca
Post by: Crash2950 on March 05, 2004, 08:24:54 PM
Stall??  Tell me how to do that.   I'm picking the one with the highest % but no hot dog stands, or kindergartens.

Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 05, 2004, 09:00:07 PM
After doing a thousand or two, you start to simply get "failed" results instead of going to jail...
And when the three high-paying regular crimes have less then 40%, I usually say to hell with it and rob a jewelry store.

and i'm really wondering about the carjacking %'s...
because i don't think the actual successrate is anywhere near 1/3...

Local Chief now! with $3.6mill in bank :)

90-somewhat cars crushed for bullets! woooooooo
Too bad the feds started confiscating cars big-time a few hours earlier... lost over 10 cars in 2 days

How do you make so much money?  I'm sitting at 500k and just not seeing how to make it happen.  


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 08, 2004, 08:32:20 AM
well, i just simply do the things that opper recommended in this thread:

keep the rolls royces and cadillacs that are less than 30% damage, but sell the rest(keep the ones that are worth less than 5-7k though, if you're in a family)
travel inbetween cities fast with a plane, and do booze runs by buying when they're low and selling when they're high (the whiskey and amaretto's inbetween NY and Baltimore)
do regular crime while you're waiting, the money and experience helps
do organized crime whenever you can with the best equipment, don't be cheap

Honestly, i don't find organized crimes worth it at all...
Nearly half the time, my share of the money barely came close to 100k... less than adequate to break even with the amount of money it costs.

Booze Price Chart (http://web.njit.edu/~ttn4/barafranca.txt)

Just to help anyone out there.

Would help if people post up booze prices of other cities...


Title: Barafranca
Post by: Guest:Lyban on March 10, 2004, 01:43:18 AM
The booze prices do change INSIDE a city I've found. It's on some kind of cycle from what I can tell. And if you hang on to cars for too long they get stolen  :(

Also, the probability of success seems to change as well, even though your number of attempts go up. About the most I've been able to find out about that is that it's supposed to represent the police cracking down on different crimes at different times.


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 10, 2004, 02:12:58 AM
i put caddi's and rolls at 25% damage or less in storage(won't get confiscated), sell off everything else except the junk worth less than 6k each, because i get enough cars every day to stop worrying so much about cars confiscated....

and about booze:
as long as you buy/sell in the city(ies) recommended, you're alright... (mainly the whiskey/amaretto from NY/Baltimore)

not i...
proxies/etc don't really matter in this game, since it's not about clicking away into the top because of the waiting times...

nearly halfway through Local Chief...

And OC finally decided to be nice to me:
My last two OCs turned out with:
The organised crime you where part from made $2,517,500.
The organised crime you where part from made $2,019,300.

But when you look at the results:
The organised crime you where part from made $2,517,500.
The organised crime you where part from made $2,019,300.
The organised crime you where part from made $1,381,700.
The organised crime you where part from made $1,284,000.
The organised crime you where part from made $1,127,520.
The organised crime you where part from made $963,360.
The organised crime you where part from made $777,600.
The organised crime you where part from made $681,100.
The organised crime you where part from made $476,280.
The organised crime you where part from made $470,400.
The organised crime you where part from made $405,450.
The organised crime you where part from made $371,295.

Average earnings come out to $143915 per OC when I subtract 100k as the costs... (and since I was also a WE a few times, which means costs were even higher)

srry for the double post...

but maaya you got quite some cash right? do you wanna stay genovese or do you mebbe want to get to be don/another high position if the diablos will ever get back again...
cause there are some plans and quite some cash allready, and we might kill scu soonish... if you're willing to pay mebbe you can be our new don... it's kinda the highest you can get in the game
but we're still planning, still a lot of work to do (like fixing some protection from genovese or something :P)
if you're interested join #diablos again and speak to me/baro/deejay ok... (still the old ingame nicks...)


Title: Barafranca
Post by: GandalfTheOld on March 31, 2004, 08:33:19 PM
haven't been playing regularly, but yeah... 34mill count as quite some cash? :D

still have to work out my bullets though


Title: Barafranca
Post by: opperdude on March 31, 2004, 09:53:42 PM
yeah before you get in the picture, you'd better have at least 30k bullets (the max you can do in backfire) 60k is even better... not that that will save you when some1 wants to kill you... if someone is prepared to shoot 45k bullets at you you're dead no matter what...

but if you really want to invest 34 mil in it i'm pretty sure you could become don of  a new family :)
dunno if you have the ambition tho...

btw opper can i join the family when i become an assassin too? i've taken some time off but i'm about 79% of the way there. i don't have many bulllets tho so i'll work on that before i apply to join

Uh.... Noxious? :huh:
Donbas wants to know why you tried to kill him...
Most of all, why are you, as an Assassin, trying to kill a Chief...?
Probably the only reason why you're not dead yet is because he's my capo member and you're in my friends list...
But he wants to know why you did that  :hmmm:

ow btw i won't die anytime soon i guess, i killed my target and he didn't have enough backfire to kill me so now i gotta buy more bullets again before i'll die :)

and the new omerta (omerta 2.1) is coming soon as you can see in the news part so mebbe you want to start doing something with your money before you'll get a reset :)

Eh, the whole game is in an uproar....
The worth of these stuff are going down the drains, because with so many bullets going around (30k every few hours at each local mafia BF, aside from the individually owned...) anybody with the stuff becomes a target...

(I've jumped up by 10 positions within a 2hr period)
Nah, I'm not gonna buy anything in particular with my money, unless I see cheap bullets available.(which I don't because so many people get them before me)

[5:16pm] <perdition> my bet is that you won't live to see next week
I'm still alive, beyotch! XD
And planning to stay that way.
You won't be finding me with a BF or any casino tho.  Because THOSE things attract greedy bastards like flies...
Families are going down, man... capos, sottocapos, consigs... they're all dying.

And you know what? I'm actually benefiting from it all... Positioned at #15 now :D

Probably.
But by then hopefully I'll have a good 200k bullets or so. (right now 120k)
and I still have 85mill in bank ;)

EDIT:
GODDOOK IT, opper, you're dead :|

:) yeah i'm dead, i died as a hero though :P
i killed the don of Enzo, Ener, he was the ex-sottocapo of SacraCoronaUnita (yes, my friends :P) and i died in his backfire :D

Ener died from the wounds you have inflicted. He's swimming with the fishes now.
You couldn't contain your enemy's backfire. You died from the wounds he inflicted.

he felt the revenge of Diablos, the shitsquad finally stroke back :cool:

now i wish you good luck dieing and stuff gand :P (make sure you go with a bang) you got 120k  bullets right? you'll only need 60k bullets for backfire, if i was you i would start killing people like a madman and have some fun  :) you're gonna die anyways, you don't want to die without ever killing someone would you?

reminds me of The Godfather part 3 when the guy gets revenge by shooting Michael Corleone's daughter

I finally logged in after almost a month and i've jumped 2000 places without doing anything

well... there's only 6861 players still alive on the game instead of the usual 20k, so that might have helped ;)
