is there a problem of being no more than a pun about hydras?

It's a pop song title...

I think the implied violence could be construed to fit with the lynching motif.

i mean, the term "Heads Will Roll" is a very common phrase, long before the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

well idiom search says it means "people will get into severe trouble"

yeah. as in "people are going to get punished/screamed at/etc if this thing doesn't happen." or "if they don't fix my cable by six tonight, heads will roll"
but yes, the violent implication (i.e. people are going to get their heads chopped off) is enough to make it appropriate for a mafia setting.
Still, I like Hydrated better.

Heads will roll also somewhat fits with Mara's tendancy to go after her scum reads really hard when she's sure of her read. As well as a nice reference to her hydras

Does Mara win more as a hydra than she does as a solo?
Because if so then maybe Two Heads Are Better Than One?

that's starting to get into too long territory.

I reckon it'd fit, but just. It's about on par with SaberKitty's "

This is everyone ever.

let's ignore that and focus on how this quality that [people who play mafia in general] have meshes well with the hydra reference that is actually what makes mara distinctive

But Heads Will Roll sounds like she's devoutly anti-hydra.

that's actually a really good point. can we save that one for someone who hates hydras?

Aren't there a lot of us, though?
Posted: Tue Jun 25, 2013 10:34 am
by zoraster
yeah. plus someone who really hated them and managed to reduce their use would probably better be
Hercules

Speaking of Hercules,
Get Up On The Hydra's Back
could be a decent one maybe? I'm entirely too lazy to look up her winrate with hydras (or if she's 'town leader'-esque), but if it's high:
- Hydra reference
- to put someone on their back = to carry = to be the sole reason for victory (basically)
-
meme reference
[edit] I was thinking of this before catching up on the thread and zor provided the best segue <_<

Actually Get up on the Hydra's Back sounds pretty good,
Since at least in my hydra with her (Amethyst Actor)
She tends to be the leader of the hydra. (Other hydra buddies of hers opinions may vary.)
