Communication

Inbox
Where all your ingame messages are stored. Notifications such as promotions, heist messages, (m)OC messages and bustout messages will also be found here as messages.

Send Message
Well, sends one of those ingame messages you can find in your inbox ;P You can send messages to up to four people, by separating their names with a ';'

Forum
Well, it's a forum. Not much to say about it. You can arrange Heists and OC's, talk to others about all kinds of topics, and have your name revealed to everybody. Some people seek targets amoung the Forum posters.. It's advisable to join a family before you start posting in forums (or fora).

Chat
The most important part of Omerta. IRC (internet relay chat). A real time chat program all the experienced gangsters use to communicate. This is the real world of omerta. Where gangsters meet, where crimes are planned, family plans start to gain shape, you make friends and enemies and many times where wars start too.
The real world of omerta is here.

In this menu you have 3 options:

# The Omerta preconfigured mIRC client (Omerta-skinned) (easy install)
Download it and install. It's the easiest way to have omerta's IRC server up and running so you can join all the other gangsters and start growing as one yourself.

# Use a version of mIRC with the Omerta servers (old tutorial)
Already have a mIRC client? Get it ready to connect to Omerta's server.

# Use the webbased applet to connect to IRC
choose which version of IRC you want (preferably .com, where everybody else is) and choose a nickname and launch. No download, easy to use Java version of IRC. It's crappy though... IRC is much more user friendly.

# Some usefull commands:

/nick (to change your nickname)
/j #channel (to enter a channel)
/quit (disconnect)
