True. I do read them differently. But, the posting head is usually pretty obvious. They don't troll the same way.
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.

Never. If you can't tell the difference from the content then you knowing probably isn't that important or useful to you.

You should be able to tell posters apart if the content is deep enough for it to matter. The only time people ever mix up me and my hydra partner is when I'm hydraing with AP, but we message back and forth enough when we hydra that it really doesn't matter who posts what because we agree on most things.
Basically, all of this.

If you can't generally tell the posters apart, you don't know their meta well enough to be making decisions based on who wrote what, as those decisions are all meta. Everything else can be figured out in the context of the game itself, and there the hydra heads should try to present as unified a front as possible and be clear when they are not in agreement.

That said, if people want me to sign, etc. I'm likely to forget, but I just hydra with my alts anyway so :hitoshrug:.

I'm only slightly offended that you used the same terminology as me but didn't quote me.

I signed my posts all the time! It was very important to me that people knew where the message was coming from.

I hate signing posts. I probably don't have a logical argument for it but I'm stubborn and I think it's pretty obvious when I'm the one posting in my hydras anyway.

We should hydra again so we can actually get an entire page of that.

I don't see the point in signing, it's a detail I've going to skip over as it means nothing to the game, and if I've already started skimming past signing, the rest of the post is also going to be effected.

I don't purely based on the uniqueness of my posts, though it was quite distressing when my posts kept being mistaken as Mastin's (of all players)... :P

Most people should sign though. Unless you're faraday (who spends more time imitating others anyways), hydra postings usually aren't unique enough to differentiate.

Disagree wholeheartedly. If posts aren't signed, it makes it incredibly difficult to get reads because when skimming you don't know who's posting and thus your gut doesn't generate the same reads as it otherwise would. Reading posts in-depth screws up gut reads.

i don't sign my posts when i Serene because i figure if you can't tell the difference between my posts and DGB's or fakegod's, then you deserve to suffer



and plus, signing our posts is generally too pro-town for Serening

I feel like Serene is being too pro-town if it's not fakeclaiming masons with random people.

no because i always just pick one person to represent the entire hydra and call them by that name


so like, all mollie hydras are just mollie to me, AP hydras are just AP, etc
