What will the "special announcement" be?

Ben E Lou · 02-16-2008, 04:55 PM

This is screaming for a poll...

Izulde · 02-16-2008, 05:05 PM

*hopes it's TCY2 released very soon*

Icy · 02-16-2008, 06:23 PM

TCY2: to be released months away

Joe · 02-16-2008, 06:29 PM

when has there been an official announcement of something to be released months away? Usually just a few days before release, right?

I hope so too, but think it will be TCY2 to be released months later.

st.cronin · 02-16-2008, 08:48 PM

I think he will announce he is retiring, and selling his company to Wintervalley Custom Software.

gottimd · 02-16-2008, 10:37 PM

He is running for mayor.

CraigSca · 02-16-2008, 10:51 PM

I'm crossing my fingers for a TCY2, but I'm thinking it's probably a licensing or publishing deal.

PilotMan · 02-16-2008, 10:54 PM

It's nice to see that there is a consensus on what it is going to be.

Doesn't the first American Idol Round of 24 show air about two hours before the 20th?

I am trying very hard to read into this for clues. So I hope this wasn't just some random thought.

Okay, lets break this down

first American Idol = 1st game
Round of 24 + 2 hours before the next day + 20th = 24 + 10 + 20 = 54 cards in a deck.

Dammit, it's the card game.

st.cronin · 02-16-2008, 11:53 PM

54 cards in a deck?

Yes. If you include the jokers, there are 54 cards in the deck.

FOFC has its share of jokers and we aren't afraid to include you.

It's a horse racing sim. But instead of horses, you'll be raising young Russian tennis playing girls and try to win the French Open and Wimbledon.

Well, half of us were wrong, heh.

Heh. Lots of card game votes today. No fair.

A-Husker-4-Life · 02-20-2008, 05:39 PM

What type of Card game, is it going to be hold em..???

Logan · 02-20-2008, 05:53 PM

I definitely missed the thread that first discussed a possible card game, and I just tried searching for it and got my first white screen "fatal error" message in FOFC history (bad omen?). Can anyone explain/link a thread?

I pretty much know I'll have no interest in this, but if it's priced well enough, I'll throw Jim a bone and give him my money.

st.cronin · 02-20-2008, 06:00 PM

Jim talked about developing a card game in a thread where he asked people to send photos of their wives/girlfriends for use in the game. I don't think he ever described the game, other than it would have something like a Shakespearean theme.

Solecismic · 02-20-2008, 06:37 PM

We have a lot going on here tonight, holding our own celebration and, of course, watching Idol. So it's probably going to be well after midnight before I close the sale and update the main page.

adubroff · 02-20-2008, 06:41 PM

Jim what did you vote for in the poll?

Understood.

Anthony · 02-20-2008, 11:56 PM

"Well after midnight" = more than an hour, I'd imagine. I haven't seen anything, and I'm going through my F5 key more than I do on IHOF Bowl days.

Izulde · 02-21-2008, 12:02 AM

I'm tempted to sim the 1983 Super Bowl and write up the game report to pass the time waiting.

Anthony · 02-21-2008, 12:06 AM

i think the announcement will be the card game. so with that in mind, i'm going to manually bring myself genital pleasure, go to bed, go to work tomorrow and log into this website and find out what the news is.

Jim G. · 02-21-2008, 12:26 AM

Well, I'm glad you're pleased, even if your exuberance is a little unusual in its manifestation.
