hydras are turning you all into lazy scum
I have no computer atm and a ton of personal issues to deal with, some of which I've made public. I cannot guarentee any consistent level of activity, therefore I flatly refuse to join a game without any mechanism to guarentee my slot will remain active.


Period.


I'd appreciate you not drawing generalizations without knowing the facts, thank you very much.

i was drawing generalizations because I was not specifically targetting you. Believe me, I know you're situation, and I would completely excuse you of it and not call you lazy. Not having a computer as it is would make me not join any mafia game personally, I'm impressed you play as much as you can as it is.

Well, I normally do, currently it's broken but thankfully it's under insurance so I should be getting it either repaired or a new one in 2-4 weeks.


Which post prompted that post anyway?

Just the discussion of hydras in general, my post was more jokingly as it was

i just feel that mafia is better designed also for a single person to be playing a single role, as two minds are greater than one, it's like a closed mason in a single role lol

which is why Hydras are so beast. Their basically FUSION HAS man. Can't deny those. I can understand that tho.

Think of it like this, single player is like singles in melee, but hydra is like teams.

except not everyone is in a hydra, so it's more like 2v1

They are fun though because then you have the challenge of reading them, and also it would give them a chance to give themselves a nickname which would represent their relationship, with a username and avi.

Plus each head would not know which other char to fight HEY JIGGS OR THE MARTH? ... I DUNNO

Fair enough, sorry I'm probably being rather touchy right now since it's difficult for me atm.


Regardless, while hydras do have a slight advantage over single players, the hydra is also limited by the inherent attributes of the dual player. It's much more difficult to create a consistent impression in the minds of other players. Furthermore, hydras can disagree and this creates situations where there's a push-pull between players. Or one hydramate can be cowed.

Ultimately hydras have both the advantages and disadvantages of the individual player, and they're probably more effective as town then scum since 2 players make it easier to slip.

Of course it's coming this weekend!! Haha, lemme just have a mod post the official "list" here like they always do when a game is full and we can get this race to the finish mafia game started.

Did I mention you'll all be playing with your souls? This is a Shadow Realm game. Nothing can be certain....not even your life. :) Nothing.

Sign-ups for Kataefi's 13 Player Bingo Mafia have begun!

For this one, I believe I'll let Kataefi comment as much as he wants on the mechanics. Also I forgot to ask him for hydras yes/no, lol.

It's just, I don't really like the set-up in the queue, I don't mind it going but I am thinking which one would be the most fun.

Silly Ryker =P

I sent that in when I just started back in August iirc.

Well, I decided against it anyways.

I'm keeping that set-up in and I'll have more time to work on this other set-up.

Plus I already have some pictures my friend helped with for some death scenes.

He's a bit....

You know.


I'll let hydras play! But I'm going to place a cap and say only a max of 2 hydras are allowed. Also this game is a little experimental and I want to see how people respond to some of the stuff thrown in! For this reason I won't go into detail but really it's just a simple mafia game at its core :chuckle:
