Hydras IRL

Hydras on MS is one of the controversial topics on the site.

But what about hydras IRL, in Mafia games or otherwise? Pretty weird to think about, but I’ve played in and with hydras IRL before. This happens when too many people want to play a certain game (e.g. 5 people playing Bridge), so two people team up as one and act as one player slot, sharing each other’s cards and discussing strategies etc.

Recently I’ve played a game simlar to Mafia (Triple Agent app) irl. As we had 9 players but the app only allows 7 players (we didn’t have paid version), we formed two hydras and played as seven slots. Did not seem to ruin any experience.

Have you seen a hydra in an irl game? In an irl Mafia game? How was it?

I had a two person Hydra when I played skyrim. We walked off a bridge and died.
This is my life now

i once played a game of magic with my friends who were being a hydra
it wasn't much of an advantage because one of them didn't know how to play and just wanted to play the cards with the coolest art
Invisibility is actually AWESOME!

Marriage is pretty much doing life as a hydra.

We've played a few games where hydras have been a thing. In situations, for example, where singer can read quadz perfectly every time, it makes more sense for them to play together than apart.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.
