Yeah, it's a player account used by more than one person. The function of Hydras has been clearly defined and accepted by enough of the site's population that it's not going away.
And if you think Mith's going to ban them, consider that him allowing hydras in California Trilogy is one of the big reasons they are as popular as they are today.

Why are hydras a huge advantage?
I can say based on my hydra experience with Sotty, our town games do benefit from our differing approaches to the game, but our combined scumgame is substantially weaker due to my shortcomings in that regard. (Where as she is a very strong scumplayer.)

Tell me your top 3 reasons for using a hydra.
One of my reasons is so I can play mafia with my wife, where as playing in different roles in the same game is a bit complicated for us in any long term game due to pretty obvious reasons.
Second reason is because it allows me to play large theme/normal games I'd never consider playing on my own because of the volume of the games.

Hydras are not as inherently strong or advantageous as people think they are. I say this having extensive experience with a hydra partner I jive well with.
Even if it was true, it's because of the combined skill we bring to the table which is no different than the skills a single player brings to the table when they play. To say skilled hydras are unfair is the same thing as saying a skilled playing is.

After some experience I don't really feel that hydras belong in normal games anymore than they belong in newbie games.
Banning them doesn't narrow and limit normal games at all. It doesn't affect anything on the design end of a normal game at all. It certainly wasn't before 2009 or so when hydras didn't really exist at all.
