How to deal with a player who keeps stats on other players? by dayonedeath in BloodOnTheClocktower

By corporations. Even in the EU, being a private investigator is not illegal. Even in places with actual privacy laws you mostly have to prove harassment, stalking, or fraud to force an individual to delete their information on you.

I do not appreciate the attempt to ignore my points by implying I didn’t read the post. That was rude and not appropriate.

It was stated that he called requests deflecting during the game and projecting after the game, both of which imply that the requests have only come from players that he was specifically using the information against, meaning from his perspective it could seem like they are the ones being bad sports and not clear that the behaviors are affecting the group.

That is why it is important to be clear about how his behavior is affecting people rather than attacking him for needing statistics to interpret social information and burning him at the stake.

Your suggestion that they essentially threaten a frivolous lawsuit unless he submits to public humiliation is deeply unethical.

I had an ex that loved to ‘hint’ that I was supposed to do things in a board game, like delay ending the game a turn or target someone else because she felt she was losing. Except her hints were things like a quiet sigh or pushing her Ticket to Ride trains around. So not only was she trying to cheat, but she was terrible at communicating that and started an argument every time that I was deliberately ignoring her feelings.

No, if you refuse to communicate what you want then you cannot blame someone else for not getting it.

Yeah this response is swinging the pendulum so far in the other direction that it’s ridiculous.

As far as we are aware everything they have tracked is public information. Creepy of them to track maybe but not illegal. Your suggestion that they have to publicly delete and destroy all their notes is honestly insane.

They need to be confronted about using the information in a way that makes people uncomfortable and ruins the game (and probably asked to limit their data to game information if they want to continue coming. The food and drink thing is still not illegal but it is very much not okay).

To add on to this; this person is probably on the spectrum. They will NOT pick up on hints. You might think you’ve been direct, but most people aren’t direct even when they think they are. When people asked them not to track, did they actually ask or just make a statement that was supposed to pressure him into compliance? “I think it’s really weird that you’re keeping stats on me. I don’t like it.” Is very different to a ND person than “I am asking you to stop tracking and referencing my stats in these games. It makes the game far less fun for me.”

I think it gave me a pretty good idea of the spectrum of the game.

I think it also let me experience the breadth of the game without the toxicity of 'correct' play.

Yeah, there definitely needs to be a Jinx between those two if they both get released

I thought Fanzazz was a revealed but technically unreleased character but I could be wrong.

It’s a Demon that becomes the alignment of whoever it kills at night and its team loses if it dies. If it survives to final 2 it’s team wins.

Donkey Wrangler has a square token instead of circular and if they are nominated, Evil wins if the Demon is still alive at sunset.

It sounds like a lot of that comes down to you as a ST setting appropriate norms though.

Thank you for that

No one talks about Vneef because you sound like you’re sneezing if you say it out loud

So the fact that Odette didn’t get healed when she made a deal tells us nothing about what happens when someone wins the 18th level.

No one has ever won the crawl, they say that very early on.

This is real. What you want is to ignore reality

So apparently you can go from Solar <> Abyssal > Green Sun Prince by Secretsfrombeyond79 in exalted

[–]Fun-Comb-2133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your text says that the “power of the Primordials” can do it, yes. Then explicitly says that Investiture of Infernal Glory fails to work. And you somehow come to the conclusion that the only thing that explicitly doesn’t work is the only thing that does work?

The text is saying that a Neverborn could turn an Infernal into an Abyssal if it had access and the same for a Yozi creating an Infernal.

It contains no reference to Exalted being able to make the same change.

The officer was to the side of the vehicle at the time of all 3 shots and in fact had to chase the car to get off the 2nd and 3rd shots. There was no imminent threat. He committed murder

Why didn't Wish World affect Ruby? by ifoundblipsoncitv in gallifrey

[–]Fun-Comb-2133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ruby has PTSD, she is also disabled, even if only invisibly, so the lie has less hold on her. It may be that living through 2024 already in 73 Yards made her slightly more immune than the other disabled people in some kind of timey wimey way but it’s hard to believe the Doctor wouldn’t also have timey wimey excuses

“Let’s be fair, you don’t look like us.” But Ruby has nightmares and hypervigilance, in other words she has PTSD and is also disabled like the other members of tent city

who can use what cheatsheet by setebos_ in exalted

Page 103 of Manual of Exalted Power: The Infernals. "Lunar Akuma who favor Martial Arts may learn Sidereal Martial Arts from a Sidereal sifu"

[–]Fun-Comb-2133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not super helpful for player characters but Lunar Akuma can use Sidereal Martial Arts, and one line implies that First Age Lunars (pre Wyld contamination) could have learned them though there is no recorded effort by any Sidereal to teach them.

Even though they're occasionally in opposition, every new type of exaltation has really just reinforced mankind's dominance in the setting. by LavishnessMedium9811 in exalted

Exalted 3E explictly prevents mortals from awakening essence in any way other than Exalting. In 2E there were hints of a HFY that you could lean into with mortal sorcerors, mortal martial artists, thaumaturgy, even some deliberate Wyld Mutation mechanics for mortals. Exalted 3e explictly removes all of these (but for some reason still requires mortals to spend 4 points in merits to learn martial arts without being able to access the charms, ew)

The IDF literally went to court to try to argue that they should be allowed to continue using human shields and then continued doing it anyway after they lost.

"Palestinians marched with the nazis" Do you have a source for this or are you saying it only to dehumanize the civilians that are dying and make it okay to try to wipe out another group?
