Do any of you know when Diggy's Metropolis RPG will be opened to the public? Also I have a good idea for the clan - why don't you guys offer one-on-one tutoring sessions? It would benefit the community and potentially give Blockland better builders and hopefully more quality servers. I will just say this, we all learn from the best of the best.
Truthfully I do not get this. The most help I got about building something was that you should try to finish the project. In the past I have learned that others learn from example, this is not a good way. Wedge has some really neat post about how people
cheat and steal ideas than one day they come up with better ones than they are stealing and this is where we get good builders. The idea of tutoring lessons would be clan members showing people older things they built and asking them to replicate them like learning penmanship. But I have also learned that if we keep teaching this way no new content is introduced.
Really learning how to build is something a person has to do on there own. One must learn how to quickly use the numb pad and super-shift for efficiency rather than getting use to manually placing bricks like most newer members do now in days. They must than master navigating the brick menu to find the large bricks they need. You can also find newer members using a lot of smaller bricks not for detail but for not having an idea of anything bigger of the same size to fit the needed area. The last thing a person must learn is how to finish what they started. You can have good builders who masters the first two but only great builders come out of the ones who master all three.
Tutoring a person how to build will not work for you are only showing them items to replicate but they will not use the replicated ideas well or find use of them. What you really need to do to teach a new builder is have them master the controls in building. A person could have a great idea but without knowing how to build it they can not. So to really teach the next group of builders they can not be taught how
you build, from the best since they are simply copying them. They must learn how
to build, so we get more original content.
do you have any ideas that could be implemented in the site?
With this said I suggest Sylvanor adds to the website a section where anyone with an account can upload building techniques of ways to construct the details and the larger parts of a build. This will circulate and introduce new ideas for more original content, Cohort member items are specially marked. A new guide is also put on the website showing off how to control the numb pad giving examples of what each key does like in learning typing. This will make it easier for people to build and so they will build more and quicker. Navigating the brick menu and patience is something we will all have to learn alone. But I really do not see a future in building classes.
with this
- People get ideas as Wedges thought and we introduce new ideas to others.
- People learn how to build faster and better making community projects easier.
- Less stuffty builders as Caribou said.
Any thoughts?
