Right, exactly. I don't even really consider myself necessarily to be anti-hydra, but I just do not like the way 95% of players approach it. And, Zach, I've got to say,
you and Sotty were guilty of such a crime.
That said, I admittedly have pretty high standards for players in games (standards that, on occasion, I regrettably don't even live up to myself), and, as FakeGod here is saying, it goes doubly so for hydras. I can count on one hand the amount of hydras I've played with that haven't, either inadvertently or not, sidetracked the game due to frivolity.
I'm well aware that I'm in the minority in this, but I don't want a hydra slot to be person A
and
person B. I want it to, as much as it possibly can be, be "one". So, no, I don't want to see your signature, I don't want to know what's going on in your hydra QT and I don't want anything else to get in the way of that illusion.
That game never happened.
Though technically Sotty didn't play that game. Would have had to have made a single post in the game for that.
In fairness I was never make an argument that hydras should play to Fakegod's standards... though I do have some hydra specific scumtells I do like to rely on. (Some of them are basically everything I did in the game you linked.)
In terms of hydra accounts being one, even me and Sotty kind of had conflicting views on that, as did various players in games we played. There were various players that wanted to know which one of us was posting what at all times, and Sotty was pretty big on signing posts, and I wasn't.
Also that thing Saul posted a while ago about a hydra doing something suspicious and then the other head coming in and dismissing it as the other head being silly. Lynch that, with fire. Hydra scum will only get away with hydra conflicts if you let them.
