Such announcements, in case of closed setups, would affect the secrecy of the closed setup itself.Silverwolf wrote:Hydras work in any setup. They are extremely common in theme games where I come from-role madness, complex games. They were announced ahead of time that there is a hydra and who is in it. It was a requirement to sign your posts and not post in your regular account. Other that that, there is no difference between a hydra or a regular account. Hydras are just two people and one role. It really didn't effect games at all. I am going to allow them when I host a game. I would like this site to experiment with them because they are a ton of fun and people in hydras generally love doing it.Ricochet wrote:I could see hydras work in a sock game, if the dual role is presented or made clear in the setup, but in any variation of a closed setup, the others just wouldn't what/who they're dealing with.
There's BTSC for this, even civilian one at times.Silverwolf wrote: Also, they are a great way to get to know other mafia players and to learn a lot about other's playstyles which is very beneficial for any person in any game they play. I see no reason not to at least try them here at some point.
I'm not writing this, however, by any means in refusal of testing out hydras in the future.
