Hydras in mini normals

[Mr. Flay]

A lot of players can't do that solo.

This is terrible mindset to be in and you should feel terrible.

Your hydra partner isn't some backup player that picks up the pieces when you flake from a game.

Both hydra players should read the entire game, and discuss fully before making posts that have game content.

Yes, it should take more time and effort to play as a hydra than it does as a solo.

This. Absolutely this (and I hate hydras).

I think the rule should

probably

be maximum fun, combined with mod preference. If three hydras want to play and one player says they don't want to play with hydras, that player should probably wait a game. But at the same time hydras are increasing in popularity of late, and I can see a situation where a non-hydra player can hardly find a game to play in. If that starts to be a problem, we may need to consider an every-other-game-hydra-free rule, or something.

Well, I've always ever seen hydrae rejected in favor of single players before (or players self-selecting out), so it may be a new phase of their evolution.

I do know that almost every non-Newbie Game I'm even vaguely interested in has one these days, it seems.

Dewey didn't lol

Why do you think I played that one?

[Mr. Flay]

Hydra'ing is a bit more than a 'play style'. Let's not be disingenuous here.

Two brains in one 'body' is, or was, abNormal.

[Mr. Flay]

Uhhh, no. Jake is saying that there are actual factors of hydra existence that affect the game. Even if a hydra played PERFECTLY, some of those factors would still be present, because it's not all about play style, it's about having two heads in one role.
