DanielNegreanu 141 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 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. Link to post Share on other sites
EmFactor 0 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 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.

EStormOk 0 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I don't think they said Daniel sold to ongame, just that he sold to a offshore corportation, at least that is what I remember. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Ongame or FCP xxxxxxThanks Bob for the updated info when you have it. Actually, I would probably advise anybody who wins a seat to not go to the Protoge this time around. Not so sure it's a good idea right now. I understand that some of you might not agree with that statement, and am curious to see what your reasoning would be that it WOULD be a good idea.
