Or to simply fuse together and know each other's alignments so that they don't have to yell at each other for one game. And talk alot like masons that only have half a vote.

 

[#HBC | BadWolf]

.... or that

 

[#HBC | Joker]

Having someone to bounce things off of, that you 100% know is on your side, is a pretty big deal. It's way more helpful when you draw town, because it basically doubles your brainpower for spotting suspicious things. It can be helpful for mafia too, but kind of less so. Two heads are just, generally, always better than one.

 

[ranmaru]

Yeah for mafia it gives you a pillow partner to hug when people attack you for being scum when you are scum when you really are trying your bestest to convince them you are not and yourself. (It's always better to have a hug buddy when you are getting guilty of your own crimes)

 

[Orboknown]

Hydras cover your blind spots as either alignment, or at least the good ones do. Look at watt in ryus toonami or am the seperate heads get the things that the other ones dont

 

[BSL]

Hydras benefit mafia because its a stupid ****ing get out of jail free card that everyone lets slide.

"Why would you do X unless you were mafia?"
"Oh that was my other head, I can't explain that sorry :3c"
And then it's over cause people think that's a valid excuse.

Nobody has ever accepted that as a valid excuse in the history of mafia.

I feel very "ehh" about this. It is true that having someone who has a different perspective on things (see: Xonar being about people in E&A mafia that I was wrong about) can help your reads, but it can also hamper the slots overall reads when two people with okay reads are trying to compromise,creating **** reads.

It's interesting that some people use hydras to cover up for activity issues, because I personally find hydras to be more work than going it solo (see: FFT mafia). The only time hydraing is easier for someone is when they're not actually playing that game (see: my hydra with soup where I from the start told soup that I wasn't actually going to be playing the game), but at that point why even bother signing up for the game at all?

Truth. "The other head did it" can actually happen, btw. Like, you can actually be town where your other head makes the slot look scummy, so I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as an excuse all the time.

But yeah, in all my mafia games I've been in I've NEVER seen people just get away with this scoot free.

Truth. Hydraing with Xonar is a good insurance policy in case I roll scum.

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

Cause when the other scummy head rolls around you can just pester the **** out of them.

If they keep playing it, merc it. We don't accept it for a reason.

Embarrass

 

[Rajam]

In the OP, is it possible to put the names of the hosts of each game? :O

 

[#HBC | Kary]

That's a good point. It's Circus (small) and Kantrip (large) right now, in case you were wondering.

 

[Swiss]

Swiss.... hydra? :D

Just saw this.

Yes.

 

[Raziek]

Updated Das OP.

 

[adumbrodeus]

Just saw this.

Yes.

What game you up for?

Edit: Lemme rephrase that, what mod that's coming up relatively soon actually makes pretty normal games?

 

[ranmaru]

Probably Gheb.

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

My small soon is a Fire v Ice open like set-up so there is that.

 

[Handorin]

Why am I not in the small game queue? I signed up ages ago. You can't withhold the masses from the lonely island.

 

[Raziek]

Did you get the setup approved through Marshy/S2?

 

[Kantrip]

I should also be in the small queue, I have gotten my game approved by S2.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Gheb.

Fixed.

 

[Handorin]

Marshy always approves of TLI. But I could show him the actual setup or something. I don't do crazy games.

 

[Mari]

/In Luigi's Mansion

 

[Raziek]

I'm going to refrain from adding you guys to the queue for the moment, only because Marshy has an actual numbering set-up he's using now to track this business. Contact him, and if he can't get it sorted out within a few days, I'll add you to the queue.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

i added yall. lookin forward to the upcoming opens

 

[Xivii]

What is this numbering system, hm?

 

[#HBC | marshy]

its so mods can switch between the small and large queue provided theyre only on one with the timeframe they joined at still intact. so if 46 wants to switch to the small queue he will stay 46 when switching over to the small queue instead of being kicked to 236 or whatever were at behind a bunch of ****** who signed up after him

 

[Xivii]

haha swag

 

[~ Gheb ~]

a bunch of *****s who signed up after him

Story of my life

 

[Swiss]
