I'm sorry if this leaves multiple people unhappy, but it's the decision I feel gives the most reasonable amount of both worlds, so this is my call:
I will allow the two three-headed hydras
.
However, this is
not
unconditional.
While I'm holding all players to a higher standard, the first condition for the two three-headed hydras is that I am holding them to the
highest
standard. And NOT on the same subjective scale of "Bins+RR's higher standard is different than Salt Squad". I am going to make some players mad with this decision. Some may even out because of it! So I am expecting the absolute BEST behavior from BOTH of you. Be shining examples of what hydras should be.
I will not allow any further 3-headed hydras
. Yet alone, a 4-headed hydra. This should help address the concerns of the game becoming overwhelmingly a mess.
Furthering this compromise,
As of this post, no more hydras will be allowed in the game
. Now, by that, I don't mean "only the players already definitely a hydra can be one". Errantparabola and LicketyQuickety both expressed interest in having a hydra partner. They will be permitted to have one. But I think that, to compensate for the risk of chaos that 3-headed hydras may bring, I should draw a line
somewhere
, and this seems to be the best place to make that call.
What I'm hoping this will accomplish, is to allow everyone who wants to play in a hydra, to have that option...while also addressing the concerns of those who don't like what 3-headed hydras bring. While I can't address concerns about "advantages" a hydra (yet alone, a 3-headed hydra) may or may not offer, this ruling should hopefully help to address the concerns on the chaos factor feared from 3-headed hydras, which was the main complaint I saw voiced about them. (If you have issues with the players within a hydra, again, you can either discuss it privately to me or voice your concerns publicly, which...a lot of you seem to be doing already. Work it out as much as possible right now.)
I'm sorry that I can't make everyone happy. I am open to discussion on this until the game begins, but as of this moment, this is my current executive decision. I gave it as much thought as I could, and this was the best option I could come up with to meet in the middle for both sides. Again, my sincere apologies if this is not the outcome you were hoping for.
Well... okay, but you should make your next 28-player game 3+ head hydras only, no single players.

Some of your stuff is......out there but I will protect you.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Tell them I said something more important is going on.

You may continue talking in here until I announce all role PMs have been sent. At that time, I would request you move your conversations over to the game thread, which at that point will be open.
