If you genuinely don't care about helping players improve then you're free to not sign up as a mentor. Conversely if you do and sign up, I'm confident you'll do your best to ensure that your shadow learns something about the game. It's only as bad an idea as people care to make it.

I'd consider it a subset of hydra-ing. telling the host is probably good because the host might be like "hey toad it turns out john is scum in my game blah blah" or something if he doesn't know you're involved in a game

well if that happens you obviously stop it but I sometimes get the occasional "hey are you reading game-XXXXX? Could you read my case over *here* and tell me if I'm paranoid and my case doesn't make sense at all or what your thoughts about it are" when I'm not in the game myself and I never told anybody about it because I heard a lot of people are doing that and it's fine.
I just never read a statement about it.


spoilered it. Guess I'm too offtopic here, sorry


If I ever found out that someone did this in a game I was hosting without letting me know, I would modkill them. That's pretty much like being a hydra.

Telling people what you're doing or playing as is one thing. But asking them to give you advice and analyze the game for you is not ok.


eh i think someone offering advice is fine provided its things like, "stop thinking with your emotions step back and really think about what your doing."

Analyzing the game obviously is a bad bit but people routinely rant or ask a non player if they are reading x game and ask for things like "am I retarded for thinking blah" etc..

Marv, don't get too down. Personality was an anomaly.

You've certainly helped me become a better player.

If kurumi's cool with it I'd be fine with talking to someone as I play his red game thing.

Only requirement: be on IRC at all times, and I play during european day hours. 10:00 GMT (+00:00) - 02:00 GMT (+00:00).

Usually more active in the evenings.

I'd love to shadow someone and learn more about thought processes when reading/posting during games.

Add me to the list!

It should be noted that this is an "active participant" program, in that people interested in shadowing should "actively" try and find someone to shadow, rather than sit around and wait for someone to contact them.

Frankly I'm not sure why GM put a "student" section in the OP, I'm certainly not going to try and find someone to come watch my posts in a game. Conversely, if anyone is interested in watching my posts in a game, I welcome the opportunity to share my thought process (for better or worse )

Because I like lists, you're right that its the students initiative to find someone to shadow ^_^

Playing/watching with VE in your ear is good for anyone. You must trust me. Grab VE for his next game it will change your life. Or probably anyone who is willing to participate as well. Me and VE are the original pair and it's really fun. Just remember you'll get out of it what you put in.

Scum also like lists. Generally speaking. Not that I'm calling you scum. Or am I?
