Over winter break, Rocco was for some reason motivated to learn PHP and MySQL. What better way to do that than to make a game? He worked many a night building the basic design, and was all too happy to bug Ben about errors and problems.

At first the game was a model of simplicity. You sign up, you send your link to your friends, they click your link, and you move up in the rankings. You could attack a little too. YaY. Soon, everybody in our school was playing the game. Within a few days, there were over 1,000 signups and the number of users was doubling every 24 hours. The game was growing too quickly. More help was needed.

Aman and Ben joined up with Rocco to take care of the more technically demanding parts of maintaining a website. Aman stayed up late one night and programmed the armory. KoC was becoming a real game, and attracting more and more members. Many more people registered, and the High School server was getting hit with over 15,000 page views per day. Signups were starting to come in from other states, where users had sent their “secret links” to old friends and family members. KoC would need its own server, and a domain name.

With a domain name, you must have a good site design. Black on White with a table does not qualify. So, Nick, the guy who sits next to Aman and draws straight through AP US history, was brought in to do site design. In addition to a new design, KoC needed a name. Up until that point, KoC had just been, “Chaos”. Intimidating isn’t it? Well, www.chaos.com was taken. So, our new task was to come up with Chaos’s new name. www.[new name here].com. We came up with many possibilities. www.ReignOfChaos.com, www.RainOfChaos.com, www.LordsOfChaos.com, www.ChaosReign.com, www.KingOf.US. Until finally we settled on KingsofChaos. An added benefit of this name, was that you could shorten it to KoC. And K o C just sounds awesome.

KoC was ready to go big. We had the domain name, some sweet affordable hosting on a dedicated server (Kualo), a new design, and the armory was complete. YaY! And the four (then-)juniors said it was good. At least for six hours or so. Then everything crashed. I will try and recreate the event for you in ASCII art:

\ \ \\ + \\ | | // // + / / \\ + __ __ + __ + + // \ | \ | | | | |\ /| / + + |__/ | | | | | \/ | + + | \ | | | | | | + + / |__/ |__| |__| | + | \ // + + \\ / / // + // | +| \\ + \\ + \ \ Figure 1

Figure 1 also happens to be quite an accurate representation of KoC’s launch. Except it was in True Color, ASCII doesn’t give great resolution. If you want the full effect, light your monitor on fire*. Anyways, from then on, KoC spread like wildfire. In the span of about a week, advertised only through word of…fingers, KoC had reached every country from Finland to Fiji, and had grown to 200,000 total members. Since then it has continued to grow, and thousands more young and old from all over the world have bravely marched into battle and trained their armies into massive fighting forces. KoC is now one of the largest online games in the World. That’s good.

* Fire is slightly dangerous. Do not use it against your monitor.

Omerta is a text-based massive multiplayer RPG game, based on the stories about the legendary don Barafranca.

Set in the 1930′s gangster and mafia world, the game is all about status, money and respect. Players get rank points by doing crimes, stealing cars and busting friends out of jail. You can even run you’re own organised crime ring, robbing local banks and holding up cars on quiet roads. As you delve deeper into the dark gangster world, many players find other business opportunities, such as gambling clubs, reselling booze and even drug dealing.

New game players choose to start in a city of either USA or Italy, where the mafia has got a large influence even now. One of the more gambling cities, Las Vegas, allows gangsters to try their luck with a wide range of slot machines, black-jack games, and even roulette tables.

In a deadly and sometimes cruel world it helps to have allies, both for protection and shared wealth. Many game players have set up families, who will look out for eachother until the very end. Families are rich, powerful and can run whole neighbourhoods of a city, so you may want to keep on their good side. As you would imagine, they aren’t too happy if another player or rival family shoots one of their guys or takes one of their casinos.

For those more cautious game players there are other forms of protection, bodyguards, fast getaway vehicles and even bulletproof suits.

So think you’re up to the challenge young gangster? Join the game, everything is free and if you’re good enough, grow strong and most importantly, stay alive, we may just be looking at the next Don Barafranca.
