Someone may have had minimalist, yeah.  TDS did claim to get two copies of changeling D1.  Of course, he might have actually been changeling'd first, I don't know.

Hold up.

OSG.

You have radiant and reflect?

What in all flavor of damnation are you up to?

[origamiscienceguy]

but all three? The chances of that are astoundingly low.

[4maskwolf]

And since I asked OSG what he's up to, I may as well say what I'm up to.

My build is intended to nullify attacks on me by most other builds, namely every build I could get my hands on a way to prevent.  Which also left me completely powerless to do anything but vote to get anywhere.

[origamiscienceguy]

I misunderstood radiant when I bought it. I mixed up actions and powers. I thought that if anybody used a power on me, someone random would get that power. For example, I thought if someone used reflect on me, someone random would get the power reflect. Seemed too powerful not to take.
Yea, I'm selling that when I go shopping today.

[Varee]

as all three power come as a package, minimalist might gave them together

[Deus Asmoth]

Tiruin, what happened to your three changelings?

Hector, I wouldn't really call that buddying.

Mask, I cleansed myself and removed one flaw. Then again, I'm circumspect so I'd know if someone poisoned me anyway.

[Shakerag]

Holy shit.  Could you guys be any more chatty on the weekends?


flabort:

So, tell me, how is tunneling supposed to catch scum and be town-sided? Don't be vague about it either.

Sorry about that.  I believe the general idea behind the Toony Tunnel was to intensely question one person to see whether they would crack under the pressure (scum) or be able to answer the questions without any issues (town).  Of course, that does seem like it would give inaccurate results if you had a particularly level-headed scum player or a fairly brittle townie.  From what I remember, it did seem to be decent at rooting out scum at the time, hence why the name and method stuck. 

I do feel like there has been some fuzzing of the term (tunneling, in general) as time has gone on to include just any amount of repeated, pressured questioning, even if the questioner is not focused on only one person. 


4maskwolf:

Yeah no actually I change my mind.  Unvote, origamiscienceguy, do you honestly think that people wouldn't give up when put in a seemingly impossible situation?  Particularly a new player? 

I'm pretty sure OSG is a new player as well?  From the standard BM opener:

Spoiler: A List of Common Scumtells (click to show/hide)

Resigning yourself to being lynched.
Saying something like "there's no way for me to avoid being lynched so I won't bother trying"
Blackmailing the town, like "You can lynch me, but you'll be sorry when you see I was town all along!"
Voting yourself for any reason.

hector13:

Speaking of which, Shakerag, why did you leave what appeared to be an RVS vote on Peradon?

We have a hector13 and a persus13.  Huh.  Anyway...
It was initially a pseudo-RVS vote.  I was suspicious of Peradon asking a bunch about powers, so I figured I'd take that initial hunch and toss a vote and a ridiculous assumption at him to see how he reacted.  He got defensive and panicky, so he never gave me good reason to unvote him after that point.

I'm going to have to process the weekend's activity in chunks.
Rereading bookmark: hector's quoted post above

I see... so it sounds like you'd have to be super active at all times of the week, day and night, in order to 'toony tunnel' enough people to be on par with traditional spread-out scum-hunting. Agree or disagree?

Are we claiming powers?
I currently, not including changeling shenanigans, have a self cleanse, a self-protect, another power or two that I can't remember right now, Flexible, Death resistant... and I have a few free-inflates.
I designed it to have very little day1 power, be safe on day2, and have much utility on day 3 when I sell another inflate.

[4maskwolf]

Shakerag: I've seen that list, it's horrible, and it should go burn in hell.  Those aren't scumtells, those are tells that someone is fed up or can't see a way out of their situation.

[origamiscienceguy]

Flabort,
Your powers are listed in your PM's. No memorization is required. This sounds like an excuse not to tell us your complete powers.

[Deus Asmoth]

OSG, why would he tell us his complete power list in the first place?

[hector13]

And why does it warrant suspicion?

[origamiscienceguy]

I would understand if he said "a few more powers that I don't want to reveal" but he said he can't remember them. Sounds more like an excuse than a reason.

Maybe it's nothing though.

It was a pfp post. Cannot view a PM and write a post at the same time. Sorry, I'll gladly dive into my inbox and find my most recent build once I get home.

[Deus Asmoth]

Why are you so willing to reveal your powers in any case?
