relating to the clan community and the competitions and so on. first edition, so still rough and whatnot.

http://tinyurl.com/soldatjournal1 Get it while it's hot. produced by Majoman, with help from me.

weekly? lol...I doubt you'll get enough interesting material every week.

FliesLikeABrick · « **Reply #2 on:** April 03, 2011, 08:43:32 pm »

I dunno, it's very possible. Soldatmag was reasonably popular back in the day

Blacksheepboy · « **Reply #3 on:** April 03, 2011, 11:00:12 pm »

yay for extra blank page! I read it. fairly impressed. I was expecting worse tbh.

Rename to HiHo Times. Next please.

i.e. It's ok for internal(clan) consumption but do not expect it to take off. Soldatmag was barely popular when soldat had a considerable audience.

And I suggest to change confusing "MM" signature to a full nickname, coz it's associated with Michal M., not Majoman

Meteorisch · « **Reply #11 on:** April 05, 2011, 03:40:59 pm »

Michal doesnt give a s**t about soldat anymore, so why would he care for some journal.

It's not confusing at all.

It really is, and it has nothing to do with whether or not MM works on Soldat anymore. Everyone in the soldat community knows of him and calls him MM.

MM in the context of anything Soldat-related means Michal Marcinkowski, end of story.

a) It's not just in his head Meteorisch.., and certainly not really FLAB's problem if you fail to see the context.. If I use the word ADD with my dungeons&dragons mates (had I any left) they wouldn't necessarily associate it with Attention Deficit Disorder, and vice versa, were I to use the very same word during a psycho(therapy/logy) seminar. (ref: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/ADD )

b) Michal himself has made quite the effort of using this shorthand to register every account imaginable (see: twitmm, videomm, mm.soldat.pl, zazzlemm, and so on).

c) So bored at work..

d) I use the term AD&D to distinguish from DnD

Hey I give credit to this guy, it looks like he put some effort into this...I could help by reviewing a bit of the English and by putting in my own articles that could be introduced or included.

I recommend talking about server maplists or just servers in general, and any cool maps or mods. Plus maybe some info on development of soldat also and some shit like that. ^^ otherwise its cool i support

Monsteri · « **Reply #21 on:** April 08, 2011, 02:44:34 am »

Yeah, and make Soldat-based jokes also.

scarface09 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 08, 2011, 08:10:24 am »

Stop expecting shit...if u want it to be in there just do it urself and ask for it to be added. It's not that hard.

Kind of hard considering the only thing I know how to write is requiem and patriotic poetry, and my sense of humor is shit.

AdamD · « **Reply #24 on:** April 10, 2011, 11:52:53 am »

thanks for the feedback, we've got a new issue coming on in a few hours, taking a lot of your advice on board. things to expect:

- first impressions of 1.5.1
- interview with Shoozza
- TACTICS with zerostatic
- other consumables

and yeah we're still open to contributions of any sort. #soldat.journal on QNet or just send one of us a PM.

Illuminatus · « **Reply #25 on:** April 11, 2011, 12:34:02 am »

I just skipped through it, so here are my rough thoughts:
- content-wise it's a big improvement and it seems like I'm gonna actually read it (tomorrow)
- the new design also is a huge step but still: get yourself some guy/gurl who knows how to handle indesign/scribus. it makes no sense to release a pdf where all the texts are images actually. it's a pain-in-the-ass to read long text passages with that pixelated font at 100%. and pls use columns. page 3 looks the best btw (maybe a bit less text shadowing).

either make it .jpg and add it as picture in here or give a proper look, as in zoom in possibility etc.

AdamD · « **Reply #29 on:** April 13, 2011, 07:41:24 pm »

the bonus issue is now out. we rushed this one so its only an image for now, sorry about that, but we're working with new graphics guys and will hopefully have an improved look/usability very soon.

yeah that will be coming up next issue! this is our sort of half weekly non-serious edition, just a page or two with funny quotes or whatever. only this time it seems to have me in a dress.

Well, either make them (In general) work on Mozilla (The issue before the bonus didn't work) or make the file size smaller somehow, I'd love to see it.

jrgp · « **Reply #34 on:** April 14, 2011, 02:25:50 pm »

Couldn't it have stuff about the non-sctfl/clan minority of the soldat community?

And wtf @ that red meat comic. Seriously, the fuck is that shit?

SCTFL forums are 3+ times more active than these forums during on season. Wouldn't really call it a minority.

With on-season lasting the whole year thanks to all those events (SCTFL, SRL, SRWC, SWC, SCTFC...).

issue 4 is now out! check it out:

also, we have stuff about the non-sctfl/clan community of soldat, and i've asked so many times for contributions from them. i'm still asking for stuff on game modes, but i've had 0 response so far. last issue i did a thing about maps. we are trying. also since majoman got hacked stupidly we're waiting to reupload all the old issues. once we've done it i'll update the first post in this topic.

AdamD · « **Reply #43 on:** May 02, 2011, 09:12:37 am »

yeah i should have mentioned that. it was written in haste though and i think i got most the info there.

also i guess it was implied that i was talking about the gather available at #soldat.eat-this! so i dunno

If any of you, public players, ever wondered how does a competetive soldat match look like, you might want to check out our streams from this season's sctfl play-offs.
