Update

Solecismic · 11-04-2003, 12:51 AM

I have some bad news.

A family emergency calls me back to Michigan immediately.

I'm trying to prepare my notebook computer with my development environment and other essentials, but I'm guessing I will be out of communication for a few days. I have a flight out of here early tomorrow.

I will try to release the game while I'm gone. I'll certainly be able to get the demo finished and active.

I apologize for the delay.

BishopMVP · 11-04-2003, 12:53 AM

Good luck, I hope all goes well with your family.

Neuqua · 11-04-2003, 12:53 AM

Too bad, good luck with everything.

VPI97 · 11-04-2003, 12:53 AM

Hope everything turns out okay for you and yours.

Glengoyne · 11-04-2003, 12:53 AM

Ack!

Best Wishes, and don't worry about any delay. You do what you have to do.

MrBug708 · 11-04-2003, 12:54 AM

Not a problem

JeeberD · 11-04-2003, 12:57 AM

We'll be here waiting. Take care of what you need to...

TroyF · 11-04-2003, 12:57 AM

Family is a hell of a lot more important than this game. I hope things go well for you and your family Jim.

TLK · 11-04-2003, 12:58 AM

Take your time Jim...... Hope all goes well.....

Vince · 11-04-2003, 12:59 AM

Thoughts are with you and yours...I hope everything is ok.

Tasan · 11-04-2003, 01:05 AM

Take care of your family.

Don't mind us, we'll just be twitching. ;- )

NYFAN · 11-04-2003, 01:15 AM

Hope everything is ok!

GoldenEagle · 11-04-2003, 01:22 AM

Good luck and we will be waiting on the game when you return.

Icy · 11-04-2003, 01:44 AM

Good luck Jim, familly is above any bussines or game fans.

HornedFrog Purple · 11-04-2003, 01:51 AM

No worries! Family is a billion times more important and besides it gives us more time to speculate.. like when you see that present wrapped under the tree and wonder what it is. Thanks for letting us know.

KJDelaney · 11-04-2003, 01:55 AM

Don't apologize at all. Family is first and foremost, period.

Take care and God Bless.

Ben E Lou · 11-04-2003, 03:20 AM

Oh wow.

Jim, you and yours are in my prayers.

--Ben

SegRat · 11-04-2003, 03:31 AM

There are so many things more important than a computer game. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. When time is right I look forward to playing the new game.

JAG · 11-04-2003, 03:41 AM

Don't worry about the game, take care of what's really important. We'll be here when you return.

Northwood_DK · 11-04-2003, 03:52 AM

Its just a game. Hope everything is OK.

Take care

From Denmark

Francis_Cole · 11-04-2003, 05:38 AM

Good luck..

CamEdwards · 11-04-2003, 05:51 AM

I'll just echo the thoughts of others and say go take care of what's most important. We and the game will still be here when you get back.

Senator · 11-04-2003, 05:52 AM

The game is a non issue, best of luck.

Noop · 11-04-2003, 06:01 AM

I hope everything is ok... family first always in life....

FBPro · 11-04-2003, 06:14 AM

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this situation, take care of the important things first.

Bee · 11-04-2003, 06:18 AM

Hope everything turns out ok Jim.

FrogMan · 11-04-2003, 07:14 AM

no apologees needed Jim. Hoping for the best to you and yours. You'll be in my thoughts.

Thoughts and prayer for you and yours.

Eaglesfan27 · 11-04-2003, 07:27 AM

I hope everything turns out ok. Don't worry about the game. You and your family will be in my prayers. (I also just went through a family emergency with my mom going in for a cardiac bypass surgery and realize how stressful situations like this can be - she came through it well by the way.)

samifan24 · 11-04-2003, 08:09 AM

Thanks for the update, Jim. It was hardly necessary given your situation. Good luck to you and yours, you will be in our prayers.

mckerney · 11-04-2003, 08:16 AM

Hope everything works out alright for you

.

cuervo72 · 11-04-2003, 08:17 AM

We certainly can wait, Jim. Take care of what you need to, and I hope everything turns out ok.

MissionComplete · 11-04-2003, 08:23 AM

You're in my prayers, the game has to take a back seat, as family etc takes a much more important role than a simulation football game. The game is a close 2nd tho

Dutch · 11-04-2003, 08:30 AM

Same here, I hope everything turns out okay with your family member. We will see you on the flip side.

Honolulu Blue · 11-04-2003, 08:43 AM

I hope everything goes well for you in this trying time.

P.S. You're not going to be very far from where I am.

Castlerock · 11-04-2003, 09:10 AM

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. My wife just lost her mom two weeks ago. It is at times like this that you realize that family is what really matters. Life is so precious. Take care.

dolfin · 11-04-2003, 09:12 AM

Good luck, I hope everything turns out okay for your family.

Bonegavel · 11-04-2003, 09:14 AM

We'll keep the home-fires burning Jim.

oykib · 11-04-2003, 09:14 AM

Sucks to wait for a game. It sucks with the same gravity as when your spoonful of Raisin Bran doesn't have any raisins in it.

Don't even worry about the game from an us waiting standpoint. As soon as we get a raisin we'll be happy. It could be this spoonful or three spoons from now.

Good luck.

SplitPersonality1 · 11-04-2003, 09:17 AM

Family first Jim. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

We can wait for a game.

Celeval · 11-04-2003, 09:33 AM

Hope all goes well, take as much time as you need.

QuikSand · 11-04-2003, 09:57 AM

I am very buoyed by the sentiments expressed here. Seeing how much anticipation was in the air surrounding the impending release, it's really a show of character to see people respond to gracefully to this bad news.

Well done, FOFC.

Subby · 11-04-2003, 10:10 AM

Aww, thanks Quik.

*applies noogie*

Coffee Warlord · 11-04-2003, 10:16 AM

*Insert slightly reworded statement of above sentiments here.*

Hope everything's alright Jim.

FBPro · 11-04-2003, 10:17 AM

Very true.....

Darkiller · 11-04-2003, 10:33 AM

Hope everything is all right Jim.
We'll wait for you. Please don't rush things for us, family is the ONE thing that's important.

God bless you.

Kodos · 11-04-2003, 10:37 AM

We can wait as long as need be. Family comes first. I hope everything turns out well.

Gallifrey · 11-04-2003, 11:27 AM

Family 1st. I think everyone at FOFC thinks that, and will be here for your game whenever you release it, knowing what is really important.
