Who do you want to see in 2v8 next?

Couldn't post the link to the feedback survey so figured I'd just ask for peoples opinions here. What killer do you want to see in 2v8 next?

Personally I would love to have the Artist, the Hag, Unknown, or Pig added to the mode. Artist and unknown feel like a natural pair to add together like they did for Wesker/Nemesis. It would be cool to make them both do Weakened and Swarmed so they could follow each other up.

Hag I would like to see because I think she would be kinda simple to balance and work with and Trapper, Hag could get so silly. Playing trapper in 2v8 is already way better than playing him 1v4 and I bet the same would hold true for hag. Having the time to set up webs while your partner disrupts gens and then ramping up in the mid-game as your prep starts to come to fruition is a great gameplay loop.

Pig I just want to see because she's fun, but she is probably on the Danger list with Plague and Sadako where they might be way too good in 2v8.

So what are your thoughts who do you want to play? Who do you want to pair with your already-in-the-mode fave?

Anarchists and Tankies could benefit from a Codex Alera 'Gadara' relationship a.k.a. trusted enemies

I was listening to this series on audio book in the shower when this occurred to me. 'Gadara' is a fantasy species of wolfpeople's word for enemies that are respected and even trusted. A worthy foe sort of thing.

The idea is that the predatory wolf people believe friends can betray you, but an enemy can be trusted to act in their own self interest if they show themselves to be an honorable sort. Each party to the relationship maintains their status as enemies and expects the other to kill them if given the opportunity, but also can work together against threats to both. Being a gadara to someone also confers a bit of protection with your gadara's allies. A gadara can vouch for each other, and have laid claim to the honor of killing the other. So vouching for a gadara is saying "I want to be the one to kill this one, please respect that and leave them to me."

So to bring this around, an understanding between individual tankies and anarchists where both parties understand their ideals are incompatible, but the other can be trusted to work against fash would be a pretty useful arrangement. If we don't look past each other to the greater threat of fascism we won't be around long enough to get to have our fight in the end.

Maybe this is why they cancelled the show rule

Trump is really trying hard to make Robert Jordan look like a prophet 💀

Explanation: Trump has some really strange parallels to Elaida from Wheel of Time. Their ego, incompetence, and obessession with "restoring greatness" are close enough to be weird, but it only gets weirder when you think about Elaida bulldozing the warder grounds to construct her own palace and abducting kings to restore the towers influence
