Its a lifestyle choice...

By 283566Samri   5/5/2012   0:58 am

Just a thought provoking/ reflective opportunity... how does Omerta fit into your life? Is it something you play because you are bored? Is there something more constructive you could do with your time to alleviate your boredom? Is this something you play because you have loads of free time? Why do you have so much free time... flexibility during study, unemployment, work shift patterns? Do you just enjoy taking your mind off things through Omerta? I am not particularly interested if you write a response; but rather the notion that you have reflected on the importance/value Omerta has in you rl daily priorities and whether this balances with your personal values and priorities. Not directly suggesting that Omerta is a poor investment in time; but rather that without sufficient balance Omerta can be a contributing factor to an unfulfilled lifestyle.

I don\'t give a shit about omerta. I rarelly log in to check the forums, but when I played Omerta was my life and IRC was my social life. Damn I am glad thats over.

Thanks \\o/ But the positive correlation between addiction to video games and poor quality of life has been shown in several studies; effects range from poor physical health such as obesity and lethargy to stunted social skills and depression, which are commonly found in gamers who spend long hours in front of their PC disconnected from reality. Honestly it can’t really be healthy to spend vast amounts of your time pretending to be a member of a mafia crime syndicate from the 1930s, esp since its text based! And sitting in front of a screen waiting for the next criminal enterprise in 1.5mins is just mind numbing... its not like you can do anything constructive in 1.5mins! But seriously the only good things about this game are the great people that you can meet! Back when I played (ing Singhji: v 2.4-2.9b) there was very little that I didn\'t accomplish; I am only a here just to reconnect with some good friends. (Hence only a picci) * Studies that show the correlation of gaming addiction and poor health may not be from reputable academic institution ** Omerta should put a disclaimer preventing liability for wasting people\'s lives with text based psychosis. *** A part of me actually gives a shit about people\'s lifestyle choices

On a lighter note, with lackeys you don\'t need that much online time anymore, only during war times. And i am actually more concerned about players who\'s live would be even more sad and lonely without omerta, just saying that some people would actually deteriorate when they cant play omerta anymore...

I work out and I\'m probably a borderline underwear model. I played this game on and off for six years, studies shown that games online actualy improve social skills. I know people who got married in real life off this game, have kids and are happy in life. I know people who work from home and play to kill time. I know people (such as me) who play to stay out of trouble. You watch TV, you play games, you go to work, you use the internet, you fap or you bang or you do both. Therefore, 1930\'s gangster or gtfo with your gay ass DR. Omerta. What your post is about is a reflection of what the game might\'ve done to you, so you stood away from it to prove your some kind of superhero to try and make any forum reader feel like shit for playing this game. Therefore you fail, go back to white knight school. By the way, playing God? Need some more self esteem? Take the long walk from emptysuit or gtfo.
