Yeah I think communication would be fine, but I would think that it would almost have to be a 1 way road. THat is the person actually playing can explain what he is thinking/doing to you but you would have to say as little as possible to him (esp if you are in communication with people outside of this thread for the game - i.e. coaches or obs threads etc).

Well, I think the host will provide the rules for that and I will happily oblige. Like I don't think you can obs and shadow at the same time.

Yeah, I just think that even if you have no information but are allowed to carry on conversations with the person you are shadowing, the person you are talking with gets an advantage because they now have an extra perspective on the game that is not their own.

coach tells a person how to play and answers questions that don't really relate to game specific information - tells a person how to approach the game in general

shadowing is so that the player can explain his thought processes to the player who is shadowing and explain how HE approaches the game and what he's thinking etc, can be asked specific questions about what he's thinking but not in a way that would influence the game

kind of like that

Alright well it is probably best that someone replaces in then I guess :o. But thanks for being honest and not playing when you will be gone :D.

My $0.02 is that there are always going to be people who are on reduced activity, so it might be better to get started and some people will just be quieter than others. But obviously I'm very new, so feel free to ignore me

There is a minimum activity required of 10 posts per cycle (in other words, 10 post per 72 hours), which is already low. I don't like games where people have so much low activity that it is impossible to have an idea of his/her alignment. The only way to play forum Mafia is to write posts. If there are no posts, there is no game.

I've talked to mtamburini and he will be on the replacement list. So there is one spot for any player who wants to sign in
