Solitaire Miniature Football Association: Anyone interested

[46defense]

first let me start by saying i love to play against other coaches one on one,and yes i get my behind kicked, but what i enjoy the most about one on one competition is the fellow shipping you are involved in when you are with that group of guys in or outside of the league you play in.but as a young child when i began playing the game it was mostly by myself so that's why i have this special place in my heart for solitaire play.the one special thing that solitaire play does for me is that you play by a set of rules that you yourself established,you play at the pace you want to,and this last thing is real important to me because guy as much as we enjoy playing in our league games or playing against that one coach you have always wanted to play there is always that one time where it gets heated and you argue about some form of the rules interpetation that has happened during your game.in solitaire who am i going to argue with i made the rules,so i am not going to argue with myself.and if i read where this one coach has this certain way he does something in his solitaire league,i can say you know that might work better for me in my solitaire league,so i change my way and use his way.you can't do that when playing in your local compettion league.that's why when i had that phone conversation with reg and he was telling me how he was going to do things in his solitaire league, it reminded me why i love solitaire so much. i'm sure there are a lot of coaches out there that play in leagues, but also so love to play solitare.norbert is a friend that i know is a awesome coach and plays in one of the best leagues in the country,but i did not know he loved solitare until i saw him at the miggle convention buying teams to get his solitaire league started and reading where he talked about starting his solitaire league.so by all means i am not saying i hate playing against other coaches,because i enjoy that type of competition also,but solitaire has a special place in my heart that will never die!!!!!!!!!!! so i know reg was not talking about starting up another association,he was just letting that love for solitaire come to the front,and i know there are many coaches that share that love also.

Solitaire guys-Let me know what kind of forum or whatever you want and WE CAN BUILD IT.

Wolf, my suggestion would be to move the Solitaire Forum from the Rules forum and make it a completely new and separate forum unto itself. The only question I would have is do we make it open to members only or a public forum.

I love solitaire play more than any other form of the game and enjoy talking and reading about it just as much as any form of miniature football. Like alot of people, as a kid that was the only way I could play the game because none of my friends enjoyed it as much as I did. I spent countless hours playing, ordering my favorite teams, repainting teams to the teams that I wanted to use. Kept a notebook full of play by play game recaps, statistics, and records. 10 seasons worth, before life got in the way. And now since it is so hard to find people in my area to play against, solitaire play is what keeps me most interested in the game. It is the only reason I spent so much time and money developing the kicking cards, knowing that there was not ever going to be a big market for them, but just something that I could do to add to the game and hobby. Sorry, but this is just something that I am extremely passionate about.

Wolf,

I agree it should be pulled from the rules section and create an entire world for it. Maybe click on a link from the main page and it takes you the Mfca SOLITAIRE world with its own opening home page with all the extras.
But all solitaire coaches much contribute mucho information in order for it to work. I imagine the solitaire blog and chat will go hand in hand with it. It all depends how deep and detailed the solitaire world would want this.

That works!!!

It's about time this area of miniature football got a little recognition instead of being treated like the ugly stepchild.

This is probably the only league where artistic freedom will not be questioned or second-guessed. This will probably be the only league/forum where you will get more people coming on to see all the innovations of what a league could look like.

I know guys like Effanatic, Clmdesign, 46Defense, French Guy, Mark Robin and others are some of the more talented guys in the game and the inspiration that each one of these people can show each other on the "front page" will be super!

I like the elfanatic solution : More visibility, but no isolationism : Reginald 's got the vision for the artistic side of the hobby, wich can be developed in the solitaire play.

I explain, it's like the wargaming world. Some players are searching for the perfect combo, no matter the identity of the army they're supposed to play, and no matter the look of the figs. Some other players love to paint and custom their armies, and play it on tournaments like the way the army was designed by the concept artists and writers, to respect an identity, some kind of role playing aspect. No matter the result, since the player lived a little adventure following his mini heroes.
And to conclude, some players...doesn't play a lot, and focus on miniature art.


You see the common points we can make between MF and this example.

Some of us have been posting on the Solitaire section, but being hidden in with the rules section sort of makes it easy to overlook. I think all we need to do is make the Solitaire forum a seperate one, perhaps between the Rules World and the Photo Gallery. Also, I think it would be important to keep it open to visitors, because it would most appeal to new people.

Reg, you said " 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.
Perhaps you missed my entire season and playoffs, complete with game summeries and season long stats. I had alot of fun playing and writing it up, and hoped that those who followed it enjoyed it as well. I can't wait until I can add a few more teams and play again. If only I can get my video camera to uplink with my computer...

chris i don't think you need to apoligize about the passion you show for your kicking game cards.they are great, i use them in my solitare league,and i think i was one of the first to get a set,because i beleive i bought them from you at the south bend miggle convention(i think but not sure) i think that's when i first met you.and later to again cross paths at the baltimore convention when i bought those awesome titans with the light blue jerseys you had painted.i also use clm designs play chart in my league and reggies box chart too.this is what i'm talking about when i said that i see something from somebody else and use it in my league.this is one of the many great things that could be discussed in the solitaire forum that could get guys saying you know that might work for me.because the only right way to play solitaire is the way you choose to play,no debate about the rules,they are yours!!!!!!!!

Make the solitaire section to the main menu instead of inside the rules section. I would visit the solitaire section very often myself!
