Throw in a little financial planning and other misc. business advisory clients and its kind of a hodgepodge of business consulting.

I'll keep that in mind BH - I too was a big firm gal, back when it was Big Five. Guess which one I was fortunate enough to work for?

Been there, done that. Mrskippy made many appearances. Over on the OOTP boards. Didn't do so well from what I recall. I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection from you guys.

kcchief19 · 12-15-2005, 05:30 PM

I don't doubt for a minute that this is a bittersweet moment for the Rahns and I do feel for them, but I think this is a better day for everyone involved, except for maybe whose initials are J.S. or commonly uses a screen name that rhymes with "Suez."

Without pointing fingers, I think .400 was a symbol for some very unfortunate things in text sims. There was a personality involved that really brought an ugly element to the genre, and I think the company "culture" was a negative influence on the people involved. I certainly don't mean offense by that. But I think OOTP is better without .400 and I think Arlie is better off without the pressures that came with .400 too. Right now, BBCF is a heck of a lot better than TPF was at launch. Maybe it's because Arlie's better, but I think it has more to do with lessons learned.

Based on things that were done and said, I would never have spent a single dime on another .400 SS game. I still have some minor beefs that I'll probably never feel real well about, but I'll give BBCF a shot and judge it on its own. I wouldn't have done that for a .400 game.

From an outsider, it sounds like Farrah and Arlie are a lot better off creatively (and hopefully financially) without .400, so I say good riddance. Close that door and move on.

Hot. It is the red-head thing that puts her over the top.

Tekneek · 12-15-2005, 07:18 PM

Are the prices different than what is posted on the website? An afternoon at an ice rink does not cost me $24.95...so something must be wrong with the Face Off Hockey price.

I'm ready to close that door and move on, as I said, but I'll be completely honest when I say that there were things that happened as a result of .400 that I don't think I need to get over, but I don't see any point in rehashing that now.

I wish nothing but the best for everyone who was involved in .400 and I think they are better off without .400 than they were with it. I don't think the demise of .400 is anything to get wistful about. I think it's time to close that chapter and move on to a brighter future. If I didn't make that clear originally, I apologize.

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 12-16-2005, 04:54 PM

My pleasure guys. You've all been so supportive, it was the least I could do.

Julio Riddols · 03-18-2012, 02:09 AM

I so wish I could play CAD right now.

sovereignstar v2 · 03-18-2012, 09:30 AM

Julio Riddols · 03-18-2012, 09:33 AM

Because I can't afford to spend 35 bucks at the moment and I remember it fondly. FBCB will be mine soon, but I miss my CAD Radford team.

DanGarion · 03-18-2012, 01:13 PM

Isn't the statue of limitations up, can we find out what really happened now?

Julio Riddols · 03-18-2012, 01:36 PM

Ooh, good question.

This still makes me laugh. 3 pages of Farrah saying it's over and he asks about an update to the game. Outstanding comedy.

Arles · 03-19-2012, 06:24 PM

Thanks for bringing this back to life

Honestly, there isn't a ton to talk about. Joe and I just went separate ways and both of us seem to be doing pretty well now.

As to CAD, FBCB is such a better game that I wouldn't even bother. Take the time you would have spent waiting for a league to be created in CAD, go mow a few neighborhood lawns and then take that money and buy FBCB

Julio Riddols · 03-19-2012, 09:07 PM

I plan to take that advice, aside from the mowing of lawns. I'll just set aside some cash from my next check as a little birthday gift to me.

sabotai · 03-20-2012, 04:20 PM

I don't think you can actually buy it. I just downloaded the available file and ran it. So, I guess more accurately, the demo works.

jbergey22 · 03-20-2012, 04:26 PM

Here is my code for it. If it works go at it. I havent played it for a very long time.

Pulled

Pretty sure its not for sale so I dont feel bad giving out this code. Didnt think it was a big deal since its not for sale but someone advised me I risk getting banned for it. If someone wants it just PM me.

Arles · 03-20-2012, 06:18 PM

I still own the pre-elicense version and would be glad to give it away to anyone bold enough to play it

Let me look and see if I have all the old codes and if anyone wants a copy - just post here and I'll see what I can do.

BaltColts · 03-20-2012, 10:09 PM

Arles, I would like a copy if you still have it.

Lathum · 03-20-2012, 10:15 PM

Arles, I'll take a swing at it. Always looking to kill my brain with some text sims while the wife and I watch TV at night( FWIW BBCF has been my drug of choice lately)

Apathetic Lurker · 03-20-2012, 10:26 PM

MizzouRah · 03-21-2012, 08:49 AM

My fault.. it's been a LONG TIME since playing this game.. you can add 3 conferences upon start up.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-21-2012, 08:59 AM

Back in the day I did purchase the game but no clue where the code would be. I would be interested in a code Arles if you locate them. I spent hours playing CAD back in the day.
