Vendetta is a 200-player Mafia Simulation depicting the rise of
Organized Crime from the 1920s to the 1970s. It's the only game of its
kind on the Web. Vendetta is played online using just your web
browser; no downloads or plug-ins required. The latest,
massively-expanded version of this award-winning game design is now
nearing the end of in-house testing and we will shortly be launching a
full, open Beta Test.

We are now accepting Beta Testers for this latest version of the game,
for which we need 60-200 players. We will run additional playtest
games if the first is over-subscribed. There are no costs involved and
you are under no obligations, other than perhaps to give us your
comments & suggestions to help improve the game and to report any bugs
detected. You may cease playing any time you like. No experience of
playing Web Games is required. We would actually prefer some players
to have very little or even no experience at all, as we also need to
test the theory that our game is very easy to learn! All you really
need to play & enjoy this game is an interest in the subject matter.

If you would like to apply to join the list of beta-testers please
visit our small pre-release site (more information about the game is
available there) and complete the online Beta Test application form:

-Or else we'll send the boys round to have a quiet word... ;)

With respect,

John Sinacola
Project Leader,
Vendetta Simulations.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the nature of the subject matter certain
aspects of this historically-accurate & very realistic simulation
might be considered by some to be suitable only for adults. Please do
not apply to join 'Vendetta' if you are easily offended by the harsh
realities of the imperfect society in which we live.
