The mechanic can be worked around by always casting a vote from your main (even if it's the player you're already voting for) immediately after making a post from the hydra account. It'd be like signing your post, but with a vote (that's unfakeable) rather than a signature.

As S_S mentions, Tracker + Jailkeeper is one of the most common broken combos to be included in a setup by accident. The roles don't do much with 2 scum alive and are both overpowered with 1 scum alive, so the game basically turns into a weird (and somewhat tedious) form of White Flag (a mechanic that doesn't really work in 8:2).

Just following GuyInFreezer's wishes here (although the game was linked earlier). If a mod of a game tells us "please don't run anything like this again", it's probably worth listening to that.
