well... this little thing you call gridiron dynasty only came into my world 3 months ago.  I have really enjoyed this game and wish you good luck at your new start up. 

Thanks!

WIS better have a non-compete clause in your old contract. Otherwise, this whole engine revision and joining a new startup would seem mighty suspicious...

Anyways, best of luck in your future endeavors!

Wouldn't it be this? 

Doesn't seem like a WIS competitor.

I've been on and off of this game for the last five years. I've had to leave quite a few times due to the old job I had, but I always came back. I've had my share of "what the hell is this" days as well as plenty of "hell yeah" days. Joe, I want to thank you for an entertaining game that has kept bringing me back and providing something for me to look forward to checking in on everyday. I wish you all the best with your upcoming changes.

No. Tarek Kamil founded WIS in either 1999 or 2001, either way, Conte came on board in about 2004. I'm guessing Kamil is bringing Conte along as his Number 2. That's a Dr. Evil reference btw.

94fifty inc. sounds more like a training organization targeting high profile atheletes.  Not a gameing site.

Thanks Joe for everything. I've always had your back in this game but you are going to have to do some work on that ball. I had one of those and I maxed out every measurement on it. They kept sending me new ones and the same thing happened. So if you guys want to pay for me to fly in so you can do some testing on me and rework the max readings on that thing I'm more than willing to help out. I'm just not sure what caliber of athlete was used in the development. And if they are bringing you in to develop the football version it would probably be best to build it ground up off of my measurements.

As far as you coming back to GD that would be more than welcomed. I kinda miss bullying you around in recruiting and on the field. Feel free to site mail me for advice, I still do some mentoring occasionally as I have the time.

And I would appreciate your end of term pardon on all my previous forum violations and I'll have an eye on my reward points.

Jeff

Joe, I am no longer playing the game and have been an unapologetic critic of the new engine.  Regardless, I have to look at the entire body of work that WIS produced during my seven years of playing GD.  You of course were a huge part of that body of work.

I have to thank you, overall, for a very entertaining and addictive game. Those cyber-players became real.

I wish you nothing but the best in your future.

So Conte had this other job lined up before the update came out. I think Tarek promised him a job if he would screw up GD so bad to get back at WIS for letting him go and also in hopes of luring its customers to a new site run by Tarek and JC........hmmmmmm! Sounds like a pretty good conspiracy theory to me.
