THE BIG HYDRA EVENT OF 2016
Double the players, double the fun!
Due to popular demand, I'm organizing this hydra event, which compared to the Mafia Championship will allow more people to represent their communities in a cross-community setting. Consider this an off-season "for fun" event with no pressure - it's all about meeting people from other communities and just showing off the unique qualities of your home community in the hopes that new bonds can be formed.
For those who don't know what a hydra is, it's when two players play a game on the same account (two heads of a hydra).
This is to be determined based on your input. Please vote in the poll (if you are playing) and feel free to give your thoughts in this thread.
For now, this is the plan:
- Everyone who signs up will play in a hydra game consisting of 13 hydras (i.e. 26 players on 13 accounts).
- In the likely event that more than 13 pairs sign up, multiple games will be made, which will also allow players the choice between different dates and types of setups. If a pair wants to, they could even play in multiple hydra games.
- I.e. let's say 39 pairs sign up. 3 games of 13 players each will be made. These will likely start on different dates, be different setups and have different phase lengths, and you can then sign up for the one that you prefer playing in.
Sign up with a friend from your home community by posting in this thread. Be sure to name the community you're representing and the name of your partner. There is no limit to how many hydras a single community can send.

No matter what setup is chosen, expect this to be the mechanics and rules of your game:
Mechanics: Deadline lynch w/ majority option after Day 1, in the case of a tie the lynch will be randomized, no lynch is a valid vote.
Night Chat: Not allowed, the thread is closed during night phases.
Out of Thread Communication: Each hydra pair will be assigned a private thread (but are also allowed to use any other means of privately communicating with each other). Besides this, only the mafia team may communicate outside of the thread.
Minimum participation requirements: 5 posts per game day. One strike and you will be warned and asked if you can improve. If you don't respond, you will be subbed out. If you promise more activity and don't deliver, it's mod's discretion whether you will be modkilled or force subbed.
Expect your game to start between late September and mid October. As long as you and your partner can start your game somewhere in that timeframe, we should be able to fit you into a game that suits you.
