Communication between heads is only allowed in the PT. Outside communication is considered a violation of game rules.In post 25, zoraster wrote:how do you force a hydra to use a PT?There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.- Bins

To be perfectly honest I have never enjoyed playing with or in a hydra as any alignment so I might be biased hereThere's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

After being in a few myself, I think hydra-ing should be against the rules. I agree with you there.
I don't think they need to communicate in front of the mod, though. That's unnecessary. What are they going to say outside of the game that they can't say in it that the mod needs to see? If they're treated as one person, it's sort of as effective as giving everyone their own PT and saying "write your notes in it I have to see them."- zoraster

The issue as I see it is that unlike QTs, you can't edit PT posts. Hence you're unable to redact certain things that were said, be it things that other players may find offensive (such as determining the competence of the various town players, which is a common scum discussion), scum strategy in general, and other personal stuff. When you force scum teams to release PT post-game, it severely hinders what the scum can discuss. The whole point of a scum QT is so that scum can have uninterrupted conversation.Fluffy fluffy~~~ |"READING KATSUKI IS LIKE SOME SORT OF POSTMODERN ARTFORM"- GreyICE

Not as a player last I checked?
I've always had to request for mods to redact, and it's a lot of work for the mods involved.
The other annoying things with PTs is if I mis-type something, I can't go back and change it.Fluffy fluffy~~~ |"READING KATSUKI IS LIKE SOME SORT OF POSTMODERN ARTFORM"- GreyICE

Editing posts isn't a lot of work, even for a mod. And what's the big deal if you make a typo in a PT? Just EBWOP.In post 35, Katsuki wrote:Not as a player last I checked?

In the begining of mafia scum the idea of posting the scum qt was not thought of so it was not done. Then people started doing it. And people started not wanting it done because they said something they didn't want others to know. Scum teams should have to unanimously agree to release the scum pt at game end to avoid iratation
I personally never say stuff in scum chat that I got issues saying elsewhere. I still give scum chance to withhled their scumchat in stuff I mod. I ask them all at game end if they want it live. if any scumo votes NO then it stays privateWhen I joined this site, I was a software tester for mobile business applications and the song PokerFace was not yet written by Lady Gaga
Now I test lottery and gambling software as my job. It's funny how my life has turned out. Somewhere a Time Traveler is laughing madly- Katsuki

And mods don't like you very much if you have a large number of posts that need editing. Plus its tedious trying to go back yourself in MS format, and making a note of things that need to be redacted as the game goes along just clutters posts.Fluffy fluffy~~~ |"READING KATSUKI IS LIKE SOME SORT OF POSTMODERN ARTFORM"- GreyICE

I don't like using PTs for hydra chat
Easier to just text or FacebookJoin me on my quest to play every NES game! Some of them are awful.
Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew- Accountant

I'm thinking of mandating that all hydras in my games can only communicate through 64-bit encoded morse messages tapped out on a legendary artifact resonating through the sewers under Vatican City at midnight, while wearing an occult robe and soaked in the blood of the fallenThere's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
