So, basically this is a thread in which a corp "were hired to war dec a group of griefers", but the OP doesn't know exactly what defines something as griefing.
The comedy alt corp CEO mail aside, the crux of this thread is that the OP is dumb.
Or did I miss something?

I'm actually a purple 3 headed hydra, you won't believe the truth so you will probably believe that.
Hydras have 9 heads.
Actually, whilst 9 is frequently quoted number, the actual amount of heads varies greatly in the Greek texts.

Did you read the actual Greek texts?

I badly translated 2 once with the help of my classics teacher.
Bad days.

That's pretty cool. Do you happen to remember how many heads there were on the Hydras in the various texts?
-Liang
Honestly, no. I remember one gave the impression of a "swarm" of heads, but it was all a long time ago. (My education in the classics, not the Hydra - remarkable though it may seem that was even longer ago).
I could probably check out some of the versions I still have, but I'd struggle with the Greek ones. I would probably be okay with the latin translations I have, but then we are moving further away from the source material I guess.

good thing about greek mythos is that almost any one of them have like 5or 6 variations.
Or 9.
