Jim updated his website. I remember a few April Fool jokes he's done:

Dola...I think it must be April Fool's. He hasn't updated the Company Information part of the website.

"Candidates should have their own passport and be self-sufficient. They should be good researchers and understand, at least on a basic reading comprehension level, at least 50 foreign languages, including Swahili. They should be adept in the art of disguise, because in certain parts of the world, it could be dangerous to travel openly as an American. They should be versed in some of the martial arts. Mountain climbing and bus driving skills are a plus."

I mean...dude!

We'll even include football clubs in remote lands like Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Bhutan and Bora Bora.
Apparently the Canadian Football League's marketing efforts are not going well.

The best April Fools joke for Jim to do would be to code the game so that if it's opened on April 1st, it completely messes with all the game info..moving players around, changing stats, ratings of players, etc., then returns back to its original state on April 2nd.

I guess Primelord is slacking off a bit, and Jim needs someone to fill in the gaps...

Don Smith won the job!
There's got to be some inside joke there for the long time FOF players...

I am insulted by that. I am slacking off far more than just a bit!
