well there we have it. Funcom's gone for almost 300 days now, our one year anniversery is on it's way. Now mystic is looking like it's heading the same direction. Yahoo doesn't want us around anymore, and kicks us to advanced room. Iplay requires 20 bux 1 time for ladder there, but lacks enough output of players to make it worth your while. Then there's hardwood which is 20 bux one time, great graphics, not sure what more to say thre, cause i haven't been playing there much. pogo (yuck) ea (even more yuck) igames (haha) here we have all these options but nothing comes close to replacing what we've lost. I do hope everyone's travels through their online life has been going well. I miss everyone and only wish to go back in time when funcom was still our home. oh yeah... CLO hahahahahahahahahaha what more can i say? surprised such a slap together job was done in 2 years??? haha well i still miss everyone. Wondering where we've all gone now. I know many quit playing online after funcom went down. Still looking for a good place to relax with old friends.Buz

Jeremy,
this 300 days on the run has been a very rought time for some of us. Prancer and Funo will always stay in our memories but there are some other players too who have passed away.Now to answer some of your good questions, i will start about those players that i know of. First of all, pH and East have found a new home at Yahoo Advanced Spades Rooms. I know that it is easy to critizice Yahoo if one only visits intermediate rooms ocassionally but trust me Jeremy when i say that 2000+ rooms have some very great players around. I can also tell that East has now developed such a skill that he can outplay just about any player and he plays FAST. I am honored to have played some close games with East and we have a record about 10-0 against opponents.
Then RD and Legs and some more have moved to Hardwood, i think i saw Broken Silence there too the other night. Mystic had a good start for some of us but even some of the Mystic Oldtimers, that is, guys who originally started at Mystic and didn't have a clue about Funcom Spades, have now started to leave Mystic. HW seems to be quite popular even though it is a pay site and despite awesome graphics the server and gameplay is quite slow.
Now then, if we leave Mystic and HW what's left? Yahoo is the strongest and most vital site for sure. Flipside comes next but for some reason i never liked it like Yahoo. I have 2200+ at Flip but not too much there any more. Pogo and the rest of the sites are more teenager oriented in my opinion.
I saw the post of JamesPMN, Buzz and Mr. Canada if you guys want to contact me the address is still the same:
maindude4u@yahoo.com
Best regards from Finland, it's freezing cold here.

Hi East,
CASES LADDER league at YAHOO sounds fun, can you tell what room you guys play at and what is the URL for Signup page? It's getting more and more rare to meet Spades players with Real Skill online and i am really looking forward to find new Home to spend some quality time playing Spades.pH

Hi there buz_zed long time no see. I am one of the ones who has quit playing all together. Still check in from time to time to see if any of the funcom players are still around and where they are playing.If someone has a good site to try out and wants a partner you can e-mail me at Z_er@hotmail.com, I haven't played spades in a very long time but after a couple of hands I'm sure I'd get the hang of it.
