Solitaire Miniature Football Association: Anyone interested

[jimmie]

EFLfanatic there is only a area for solo coaches we are thinking about having just a little more like games shown on online how to do, rules chats about games played pics a lot lot more!!

of another website or anything to that nature.

Just like 46defense stated, we enjoyed shairing our time talking about the game on the telephone. There is only a place on here that talks about solitaire rules. So don't read things into the word of "association". Please don't.

I just think that guys do not discuss the topic enough and I like picking the brain of guys who see the game from that perspective.

... all of it is or can be available on the MFCA Website and forum.

Reg, I am not opposed to a Solitiare Association if that is what you want. I do admire many of the things that you do and you certainly have been one of the great innovators of this hobby. There are so many things that you have to contribute. Why not use the solitaire section of the forum? I don't know why people don't use it. Maybe because it is kind of hidden in the Rules Section. Maybe we need to change that and make it a totaly new forum section. Maybe start your own Blog. I may be totaly off base here. But that is just my opinion.

But surely the game/hobby is advanced in the public consciousness with more, not less, forums/blogs/websites? Also, the existence of another website devoted to solo play does not obviate against continuing contribution to existing forums/blogs/websites. This is not a zero-sum situation. More information freely traded in the public sphere contributes to the spread of the hobby, not less information. The test will be, as always, to see if a new site is sustainable on its own merits.

Comrads:

Anyway to expand "America's Most Underrated Competitive Sport" is great news and fine with me.

Gentlemen,
Lets move this to the "Your not alone" blog on the main page.

Chris,

I could care less about contributions that I made in the game. I just find it odd that until now, this subject of solitaire was just an afterthought. Now that someone wants to take the bull by the horn, it has to be monitored and criticized.

I am not one who likes re-inventing the wheel. I did not know that there was a section for Solitaire speak. I thought that section was for strictly putting your solitaire rules up. I never gave it much thought because no one was really exhuberant about talking about their solitaire experience.

Any association that I speak of was not intended to create a website. Lord knows I don't have that type of time. I do enjoy getting in conference calling and talking to guys who like to play the game from the solitaire perspective and exchange ideas. I would definitely like to meet some of these coaches, hang out with them, and associate in a manner that is a little different from league play.

So there's no need to read anything into this association other than encouraging guys to talk about their experiences in solitaire. You never know how your words can encourage someone else. Also, you may be willing to share ideas with these guys that may not fly in the competitive arena or tournament arena.

Just my thoughts,

Reginald

The MFCA is owned by the members. If a number of members express the desire and want for a more visible or different forum for solitaire coaches then I don't see any problem with it. The more things we can do to accommodate the coaches and provide them with the things they enjoy, the better it is not only for the coaches here but for the new coach also.

Solitaire Coaches-Just let us know what the ultimate solitaire forum would be and then we can see how that fits in with the software capabilities and set it up. Most things are easy to do within the vbulletin program.

Also, Chris Markum heads up a blog for solitaire coaches on the main page called, "Your Not Alone". This is a great place to also get involved and talk. We are experiencing a huge number of visits to the new site and are getting linked up all over the place.

lurking somewhere! That's what I love about you my friend!

I am not sure how amny guys are thinking in terms of solitaire but I would not mind it having a stronger presence as a potential category alone. But that's just me!!

That's why I had created a section for my NFL Greatest Teams Solitaire League is because I wanted to share with guys the type of fun and excitement I am having with the solitaire thing. Right after I put it out there, I had several calls and emails discussing solo! I thought that was great.

Even 46defefense and I had a long discussion about the game and we got each other so fired up, it was scary! So I just like being able to go into a discussion on the main page because these guys are just as much players as group leage players or tournament players.

The problem is none of them (us) have a loudmouth or bigmouth like myself!

Don't be so sure...and you're lucky english is not my first language too ! If the forum was in french, it should be really a french tsunami here


More seriously, solitaire game is very interesting. First, I didn't understand what solitaire could bring me...but I readed, and readed again...understanding the interest of it (especially YOUR way to play solitaire, mixing modelling, game and even a little roleplaying in the thing) and some posts I readed from you are the cause of my interest
