Neither coaching or shadowing lets me do that, to my knowledge.

Coaching covers that, but if you want that without having to play, probably like shadowing a coach is what you want.

Coaches aren't really allowed to tell me specifically how good my reads are, and they can't tell me who I should be reading and why. So yeah, shadowing a coach seems good, if that's possible.

It's not a bad idea though, because I'd like to see how someone really good plays the game. The Coaches I've had so far have been fantastic to me. What makes experience in mixed games good? Or perhaps different?
Mafia is a very hard game to learn generally. Experience is the best teacher over all.

TBH, don't necessarily expect that from our QT. Take for example any of the top players. They all gather reads differently. Some are shared, but for the most part people do very different things. I tend to town hunt and often rely on meta to read people one way or another. Other players wholly ignore meta, like I don't think Marv does much meta. Some players, like raynpelikoneet, just scumhunt in thread.

I have noticed it's incredibly difficult. It's amazing how quickly it moves in one direction or the other. It's just something I honestly want to learn to do well. =) It's been pretty fun so far.

OK, the signups list is updated! Any new players, if you have questions or want to learn more, I recommend you check out the guides linked here. I'm also available for Q&A here in the thread before the game start. I'd expect it'll take a few more days for this game to fill up.
/thanks
I'll surely check the guides while this starts.

OK, updated the signups list. Looks like we still have 4 slots, plus room for 2 more coaches. Eden might move over to a coaching role if we lack coaches and have plenty of signups.
