There should be a waiting period. In case they change their minds. If one doesn’t want to stop then a mediator should get involved. Maybe a pre-ceremony document outlining what the expectations are and what each should take with each other when/if the hydra dissolves

These are wonderful changes and I'm glad to see the mods finally trying to tackle this problem.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I wholeheartedly approve these changes and will be accepting applications for potential hydra partners - if you're interested please fill out the attached form and answer all of the questions and then return to me. Please note that while question 18 does not *require* an interpretative dance to be considered complete, providing one will certainly boost your chances. Points will be given, as always, for style and rhetorical flair.

Does creative use of a flare gun during the interpretive dance count as rhetorical flair?

Hmmmm it's a little hard to argue that *any* component of an interpretive dance should count towards *rhetorical* flair, but i would imagine it would net some style points.

you can rest easy that divorces will not be as straightforward of a process![/quote]

This is unacceptable for you to not have a process for this! My hydra partner is yet to bear me a single scum victory, and it is intolerable that I should be shackled to my partner waiting for your permission to be freed from this ill-conceived union while many suitable potential hydra partners of game-playing age are receiving hydra proposals from gentlemen not nearly as fine or important as myself!

I know this was an April Fool’s joke but I really feel like something along these lines is sorely needed atp
I’ve had a lot of dead-weight hydra partners that probably resulted in me losing interest in mafia
I’ll acknowledge I’ve also had my own issues but I at least try to do my best, even if that often is practically nothing.

If someone tells you they’re looking for a hydra partner to carry them, just say no. :P - unless it’s of course very time specific, like they’re v/la for a pre-determined amount of time. That’s obviously different but not if it’s ongoing.

I don’t mind someone if there at least active behind the scenes and have strengths that I lack say, mech - which has generally not been my strongest suit but if they’re literally not doing anything and there almost impossible to get a hold of, I’d pass.

So, I’d be okay carrying in a mech complex game as long as I had a hydra partner who was proficient in that because I really enjoy those games but I more often than not get tripped up by it,
I’ve really only had one bad hydra experience to date and anyone reading my GTKAS can probably figure out who that is but have also experienced dead weight hydra partners, so yeah - that’s not much fun either.

Look at past games then, it’s extremely unlikely that if they have a history of being active in their other games, the one game you hydra with them they will suddenly become dead weight and vice -versa.

Part of the problem is most of the time they’re RWSTFO people
Norboy and Almost50 are key examples
