Yusei Fudou Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hello, fellow card makers. I was thinking that saying "Thanks" to your kindness isn't enough, always "Thanks" "Thanks" "Thanks" on topics, PMs, etc. Noticing that I've became, with no bragging, a skilled card maker (thank you all who have said that about me), I decided to make an online academy here, helping people who are weak at card-making improve. Anyone can join this academy, it's The Octavius Academy. I'll teach anyone who wants, starting from next week, weekly classes about card-making, and they'll be more fun than they seem, as I will do my best to not make you bored, and entertain you at the same time you're getting improved, by your own will. I'm not going to say that I'm the best card maker on here, never will do, but at least, I can teach you what you really need to do to become an average/good/great card-maker, as I've noticed some newbies on here that need help. The Teaching Method: 1- You must have MSN/Yahoo.2- When you want to take a lesson, post on the upcoming Academy's forums in the Registration Room, describe what are you good at in card making and what you're bad at, and what do you need to learn in addition. Then, if the registration is applied, you can enter, PM Mare your MSN/Yahoo and you'll be added by "The Octavius Academy" MSN. If you need the E-Mail address of the academy, simply say that in the PM.3- The method of teaching is seperated into two ways, you choose of each lesson:A- Dialogue ModeB- Lesson ModeThe Lesson Mode simply puts the lesson in 2 parts, no parts if it's small, and even sometimes 3 parts if it was long, while the Dialogue Mode is explained by talking, and sentence by sentence, you can discuss with the teacher and other. RonnieMagia (the first student) preferred the Dialogue Mode. I'll be releasing forums for homework and Academy managment (note I linked to YCM in them alot ^^), and they're not for advertising. They're all about the Academy and card-making at YCM. They'll be released when the teaching starts. For each week, I'll be posting schedules, when will you take the lessons, as I can't stick to one date and disappoint you. ^^ I hope I've helped, and I hope you don't think I'm some kind of brag-lover >_<. Who wants to be in before the delay in accepting registrations starts, post here please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry OldMaster Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Good. But we have already a card maker's Academy, right? And I am not in need of one.... Thing is, no-one ever rates my cards, but that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusei Fudou Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Mhm, we do have a Card Makers' Academy, but can't be there 2? If that's against the rules I will delete this immediately, regardless of all I prepared. I just want to improve the new generation of card makers', and I hope I can help. I'll rate your cards. =P Everytime I find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry OldMaster Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I can be a "teacher" but I'm not much on........ Sometimes I feel like people hate me. I always have a direct link to my best and only pack, but no-one clicks on it:( And it's a poll so people don't even look at it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightspeed Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Sounds cool, you certainly peacked my interest James. ^^ Although, I don't think I'm bad at card desinging. My only problem is knowing when 1 of my card effects is overpowered or not. ^^; So I was wondering if at some point you could look over a few of my card effects and give me some imput please? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Academy doesn't focus enough on teaching others how to become better, we have the Card Review Thread, but it hasn't been doing so well. I would like for you to join the Card Maker Academy as a Senior Member and merge our Academies together. I would very much like this thread to become a division of CMA and members can come here to improve their card making skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilrow Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 What there should really be is a Jude/Rater club who looks at everyones card's and posts comments and constructive criticism. I feel that many good cards are underrated on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaden Yuki Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 hey Mare if there is a place for a teacher that teaches how to make good warrior cards just pm me :D it would be an honour to be a teacher in your academy. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see my plans for the "Opening Week", when the weekly classes start. hey Mare if there is a place for a teacher that teaches how to make good warrior cards just pm me Very Happy it would be an honour to be a teacher in your academy. Very Happy Well, to be a teacher in the academy, you must be a good card maker. If you'd give me a link or PM me some cards of yours, I'll think about it, and if I want some more things I'll tell you to add me on MSN. The club idea by Gyrus is good, and I'm thinking about a division of The Octavius Academy that would have a club like that. But just in the right time, when the academy has more students.

Lilrow Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 I don't like the OCG term as it is easily confused with the OCG meaning Origonal Card Game for the Japanese TCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
