Tim Plum Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 So who owns a grey dog? Or does it have some other meaning. Inquiring minds want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Here is what Arlie posted over at FOFC "or those of you wondering about the name, my wife and I have rescued greyhounds for a few years now (currently have two) and it is something we both care about. So, I figured it would be a great name for the new company as it has meaning to me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plum Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Ah that explains it, I haven't visited FOFC in a long time. Thanks Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phate Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Sounds pretty wierd, but it's a good name. I think Arlie, Gary and Adam all own the company, but I'm not sure. Phate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McFly Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I think it's just Arlie that owns the company, with Gary and Adam licencing their games to Grey Dog as they used to do with .400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Gorski Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Yes that is correct - neither Adam nor myself are owners of Grey Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott McFly Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I think there may be some kind of legal reason as to why an American football game cannot be made at the moment. As Arlie actually worked for the company and resigned, I believe there is a no compete clause meaning he cannot make or have anything to do with another American football game for 1 year - meaning next August. Don't quote me on that though. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Orleans Thunder Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 no new game for 2 years? So if Arlie cannot work on a new game until August of 2005, it is likely the release of any new game wont occur until late spring 2006 at the very earliest. Wow, long time to mess around with TPF. But lots of time for the game makers to think, rethink and rethink ideas. And I do think you are correct with the non-compete agreement but I am not certain he cannot work on a game until August 2005; however, it seems logical no new release can occur before August 2005.

Bob Hanson Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 A reply from Farrah at the 400ss forums. [quote="Farrah"]If Arlie wants to release a professional football game in August of 2005, he must create it from scratch. As he said, he is walking away empty handed. As far as compatibility, the code owned by .400 was created by Arlie, so I am assuming if he wants to make his future products compatible with a .400 game, he will. He wrote the code, he knows how it works. I don't know what his plans are, so you may get a better answer if you send him an email. [/quote] Arlie can work on a new game. He just can't release it until next August due to a no compete clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott McFly Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Sorry, I meant to say that Arlie cannot [I]release[/I] a competing game for a year. My post seemed to sound alright in my head, but reading it over it clearly is wrong. As you Americans say - "my bad". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
