Sign up thread: Wanna get tutored by Namix & take others to school? - Page 2

namix · 01-25-2013, 05:23 PM

Word up fellas.

It's about writing and creativity, you can take it or leave it. Vets, Semi-vets, Newbies - don't matter.

It's about a collaborative system for evolving one another's writing skills.

Cyphers, feedback, collaborations. Just for real heads. No egos, only growth.

We all have shit to learn from each other, and I'll put methodical effort into this.

In the end: most people are more "innately" good at this shit than I was. What I could do is come up with crazy concepts, and then I learned how to be effective enough in my wording to run through most heads, even with those crazy concepts. So if you can learn what I know, and apply it to your own skills, you can be better than me.

Simple as that. I wasn't naturally talented at this shit, I was just smart enough to look like i was, and I plan on teaching a small group of people that are interested how.

I'm in if there's a free spot. I join these forums to improve anyways. Doesn't hurt to try something new.

Strikta · 01-26-2013, 10:16 AM

bro i still don't even really understand the concept of trolling lol...

this is dead serious. I am leaving this open for about a week longer, and then will send out the next steps to the group.

worst case scenario - I am one of the better feedback providers around, and will prioritize this group -- and encourage others in the group to give each other feedback as well.

everything else will be shared with the group directly --- but word, not trolling at all.

NOTE: if you're interested, please say so in this thread vs. PMs - just to keep the list centralized for my sake lol.

word, i made this thread in direct response to Sn00ps post re: ideas for a tutoring system....

i probably came at it the wrong way, this was meant to be altruistic.

Pancake: you have good flow and decent concepts, but I would be able to help you on your conceptual flow to make your wording more impactful. I also think you'd be able to offer some sound advice for other up-n-comers - you sure you do not want to participate? all jokes aside - but word, if you think you're too evolved for this concept then we can go back to hating lol.

Strikta · 01-26-2013, 11:17 AM

Nam I'ma hit u back when I get to the comp later. I got the msg tho bro.

lol, i've long since outgrown the desire to be net-worshiped bro. I'm a good mentor - but am just as willing to learn as i am teach and to follow as i am lead.

really i was just the first to act on an idea that came up in the mod forum - but I will be methodical and organized with this shit. the success of this process will become obvious over time, but i will nonetheless measure it and refine it to make it, and us, better.

Joe Metts · 01-26-2013, 02:29 PM

If namix has the desire to help people. More power to him.

Its a good thing.

Swerve · 01-26-2013, 02:29 PM

How about I tutor you first Nam? Get you ready? ;)

namix · 01-26-2013, 03:31 PM

lol - sure Patrick. less wordplay more flow?

i see very little 'good' imagery punches these days - wordplays about the same - but it looks like 'tying a couple personals to current events/modern references' does the trick for most heads lol.

Swerve · 01-26-2013, 03:34 PM

Seems like it, I've switched my style up accordingly though. I'm ass in comparison to where I was though, or at least it feels like it.

Joe Metts · 01-26-2013, 03:35 PM

Image punches are now looked down upon and called 'statement' punches.

When i first came came all i heard was that's statementish.
