Hello all! What, or whom are hydras? This is my first game with them. What role do they serve? And why is there so much discussion about them?

"Issac?"

"Yes, Maria mah dear?"

We got Issac and the Rail Tracer in the Cash Cab haha.

So I looked up Hydras on the wiki and I would just like to make sure, the hydra accounts are controlled by the same player right? But the randomized roles still apply to Hydra accounts, correct?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of a hydra. Why would two people play the same account? And they both have to agree to vote someone, but they play on the same account? This is very confusing to me, and I apologize. SOS not wanting to put a vote on FuDuzn looks scummy, but if he requires the synch like he says then disregard me. Once I better understand hydras I'm going to re-read the thread.

Using SOS as an example, can only one person post on his account? Or at any point could his partner post under his name?

Dessew and SOS, you are both correct in thinking I am scummy for not having placed a vote yet. I wanted to make sure I understood hydras before I posted further/made a vote. I feel like if I posted without somewhat of an understanding it would only be hurting the townies and I since I could potentially mislead them. That being said, it is scummy of me to not have a vote down yet. Thank you for the explanation of the hydras SOS, it helped me a lot. I also want to apologize to the group for contributing to the "hydra nonsense" but it helped me, so thank you.

So far HP, and Rail seem town to me. FuDuzn is kinda scum so far, especially in (116) where he just sort of gives up and resigns to his fate after fighting it quite a bit. Could be an appeal to emotion? I definitely think there are some scum on his wagon though.

I would also like to know why you voted for me Dessew. We have quite a few players not voting, why pick me?

Vote: Fegelein

In post 103, Dessew wrote:Yes, he's certainly the scummiest player now, imo.

I want HC to react to #98&99 first.
Dessew, I am reading this as "Yes, I think FuDuzn is the scummiest player right now. I want HC to react first." Is that correct? Or is it "Yes, I have a reason for keeping my vote on HC, HC is the scummiest player right now."?

Welcome Daniel Bryan!

Also, I guess I forgot to include it in my post, I think Fegelein is scummy at the moment. He hasn't posted anything worthwhile and seems content to fly under the radar. I'd like to see more from him.

Anybody in this game would have been an easy name to call out with pressure on me-FuDuzn, Fegelein, me, you, etc. The difference between you and Fegelein is that you already have contributed to the game much more than he has. His two posts have been pointless so far. If I didn't think he was worth my vote I wouldn't have put it on him.

"What do you gain from asking questions such as "Could it be an appeal to emotion?" rather than simply stating "It looks like an appeal to emotion."? Asking for other players' opinions on a potential opinion that you're suggesting but not adopting, rather than just running with that opinion on your own, is distasteful and, for lack of a better word, scummy."

I try to treat this game like a conversation, and I try to involve the rest of the players as if they were in person with me, where I could ask them questions and so on. I apologize for being misleading.

"Huh? What wagon? And who do you think is scum on this "wagon"? And if you think FuDuzn is scum, why not vote him? Why Fegelein, since you didn't even mention him in this post?"

Dessew, SOS and you were suspecting Fu. Dessew strikes me as suspicious, but I'd like to him to clarify on his post first. As for the second part, I posted about it right after the the post you are questioning.
