WOW, this is huge news. This makes me feel great to be a part of FCP. Seriously, great job guys. So will our money go along with the transition? Or would we have to withdraw then deposit back in? When can we expect to find out which network we are going to?

Bob said on the FCP chat that worst case, you will get the $5200 for the ticket, but the classic should go as normal. Protege will go as planned... the move won't happen for at least a few weeks. -------------------- :This space for rent:

As of right now guys everything is cool with OnGame. None if this stuff can happen quickly.
On a more personal note, while this is a strange time in the online poker world it's also pretty exciting. With OnGame's decision to pull out of the U.S. that opens up a lot of doors for FCP. There are several options on the table and FCP has a "wicked smart" group of guys looking over all of the options. FCP will survive. Online Poker will survive and continue to grow. The FCP experience will only get better as we continue to grow. Keep your chin up people! Everything will work itself out. It'll just take a bit of time. Thanks for understanding and thanks for the support. --------------------  |

Um... didn't Daniel sell off FCP to the people at OnGame? I guess I don't understand how he can just switch networks if they own the site. I seem to remember that Daniel was just a consultant. So how is this going to work? This would also mean that the actual software would have to be totally redone so as to be a true "skin" of whatever this new network is.
Also, I got an email today that NoblePoker was closing it's US accounts, so I guess we can cross that network off the list of potential new networks. -------------------- "Cards are war, in disguise of a sport." -- Charles Lamb, "Essays of Elia" (1832)
