Possible Solitaire Newsletter?

[eflfanatic]

I know it was brought up before about a Solitaire Coaches Association and Newsletter and I was oppsed to it http://www.miniaturefootball.com/for...ad.php?t=14575 ,but with recent events in my life and to one of the greatest solitaire coaches in the hobby, would anyone be interested in seeing this happen?

[the french guy]

I'm always for more info, especially for solitaire gaming.


For now, I'm happy with my hobby practice. I paint, I customize, train my gaming skills too (passing, tweaking), and learn new things each day here. I play one game with my brother at least one time per month, and stills have to initiate other friends in the future.

But I start to thing seriously about solitaire gaming. Because, to be honest, in my direct family/friends, I didn't find a serious interest in MF or football. So, one day I'll certainly get bored to tweak teams for casual MF players, and bored to play with only beginners or casuals. SO....two solutions : I go to USA, I'd love it, but I can't afford it (offer me a job!) , or start to play alone.


But, like I said : I'm happy to come here on MFCA, talk, share, and find a place where all aspects of the hobby are presented. Finding all the stuffs on one website/forum is very convinient too.

So....more visibility for solitaire : I'm really enthusiast, but I'd prefer to see it here ! For the newletter example, it's perfectly possible to create a "stick" topic, where you can place a newsletter type content, and everyone interacting in that newsletter topic is able to suscribe for it and receive an daily or weekly email to be aware of new topics.


You can also use the MFCA.org solitaire category to post easy to find and to follow solitaire information !

pardonez moi, les francaise est "not so good", n'est-ce pas? LOL!

Hey, great idea! Have you seen the Solitaire world I buried myself in years ago?

I have an entire archive of THE TUDOR TIMES SOLITAIRE EDITION posted online!

This section of the forum did come about by the discussion from the aforementioned thread between myself and Reginald Rutledge so yes I am reluctant to take anything away from here and the MFCA.

I do believe we have everything in place already, but just needs some refining.

I like your ideas Dimitri. And welcome back Glenn. Your website has always been one of my favorites.

This can be done!!! The coaches are many and diverse. Let's start this ball rolling again.

You guys want to start another newsletter! I probably should just shut up but my frustration is over the top! If I misunderstand your intentions then I apologize in advance.

Here is a suggestion that would help...How about doing your newsletter on the main page of the forum and we add a category so that the posts would be under a solitaire heading. I have a test example up using French posts. http://miniaturefootball.org/about-the-mfca/test/ It would be just like having an online newsletter/magazine. You can even have a banner that goes up with each edition and a download as a pdf. All of this is already there for the taking...use it. We have hundreds* of new people that go to the main site every day, but the only one willing to post anything new is French Guy and me when I can find the time to grab something that is on the forum and stick it over there. It is our number one promotional tool, but I can't get you guys to use it or even explore it. WHY!? You want new players don't you? Well the new players DON"T COME TO THE FORUM FIRST...they find that main page and IF it has something interesting they explore deeper. You are all missing the boat and I can't do it without you.

*(last month-5373 real visits, they spent an average of 6.33 minutes on the site. 21% were completely new. That is 1128 new people that came to the site either by search, mistake or curiosity)

There, my piece is said...hopefully it results in action, but I'll put my money on the under.

maybe to get a SSS (super solitaire section) in the next edition of the Tweak to take about our own rules and maybe exchange each others about the way we play miniature football....alone

What do you think? feel free to send me a PM or an e-mail at: canadatabletopgames@gmail.com

P.S: I'm currently busy with my custom table hockey game (more to come for those interested) but after the christmas holidays, i can go with tthat project.

do something like this for the Tweak and I will be getting with many of the solitaire coaches on what's going on in their leagues.

Something to this effect is coming down the pike. Now, if you want to take this next article and write it, I would be obliged!!!

I think it might make sense to get a good-sized solitaire story/pictures package for The Tweak before we try and do some other kind of newsletter. Let's put the bricks down in the ground first before we put the roof on the house.

If Reg already has something in the works for The Tweak, then let's work toward supporting that.
