2 questions: Has a game like this ever been played? Is the follow-up shadow game going to be played in this thread or a different thread? | ||

/shadow if people will have me then. Same boat as fubadooba though---if I'm too 'experienced' give the spot to someone else. | ||

This would be a bad idea because the shadows get the alignments of the players they shadowed. If someone knew who your favourite player was and he flipped scum in this game and you were first on the list, you'd be in some serious trouble  | ||

I am of the opinion that the best way to learn is to compete with the best possible players (at least for me that has always been the case regardless of the subject). I don't want to be disrespectful to the other shadows but this is the exact reason why I didn't play more than one Newbie game. It is vastly different to play a Newbie compared to a real game especially a big one and you learn that the hard way - doesn't matter if you played Newbies or not. Maybe that's an egoistic mindset but I don't think I would enjoy playing this game even though I am probably no better player than any other shadow. | ||

Seeing as I've taken a couple 1-year breaks in between games, and I can only remember a couple games long past in which I was actually happy with my play, I really hope I get the opportunity to have one of these guys learn me some mafia. | ||

However, I've never had the opportunity to really discuss game play with the better players on this forum, and while I've read a lot of these players, it's completely different to get their insight as they are playing. Seeing as I've taken a couple 1-year breaks in between games, and I can only remember a couple games long past in which I was actually happy with my play, I really hope I get the opportunity to have one of these guys learn me some mafia. See, that's why I would like to shadow one of those guys. Playing the following game is a whole different story.

Perhaps for you, it works best to drop yourself into the deep. Others might find playing against people of their own level more motivating, and get the confidence from it that they need to analyze the big fish too. Furthermore, the idea isn't that you copy the player's entire gameplan, but to learn from it and apply a few things you have learned in the following game. Either way, it's an experiment. If it works out, great. If not, we'll still have had a great invitational and "novice" game, and we can use the lessons we learned for a sequel. Obviously people are different. That's why I said "at least for me". I didn't critisize anyone of a different opinion and I didn't say this project isn't a good idea but the things I said are the reasons why I personally won't join this although I would like to shadow a good player. WoS asked why and I answered. | ||
