The "tunneling from one player to the next" is how I play. I usually end up tunneling every player at least once. Now I'm off to figure out my next target.
1) Do you have other examples of you playing that way?
2) Similarly, asking somebody to contribute hardly qualifies as "tunnelling". If what you're saying is that you play a game of whack-a-mole with lurkerks (voting each one in turn until they say something), that's not at all a productive way to play.
1. My only completed game is a newbie game, and my playstyle hadn't developed into the tunneling until after the game. But I have mentioned this style in other games.
2. That wasn't tunneling. It was pressure.
Off to read Kwanton.
On 1), maybe I am misunderstanding you, but it seems to be completely misleading to claim that you "play" a certain way, when you don't appear to have any track record of playing that way. Please quote for me where you "mention" this playstyle. Needless to say, my BS-senses are tingling.
I cannot quote it to you, because all the games that I've used this style are currently ongoing.

Okay...so:
- First, you tell me that you "play" a particular way
- Second, you tell me that, whilst you don't actually have any record of "playing" that way, you have "mentioned" this in other games
- And, now, you are telling me that, despite you having just brought up said "mentioning", you can't actually quote it because it's in an ongoing game. Needless to say, if you weren't going to be able to back this meta defence up, you shouldn't have made it to begin with. (To say nothing of the fact that there is no way in hell that I am going to accept a meta defence based on ongoing games, unless you have actually flipped in those games).
Also, the "don't discuss ongoing games" rule doesn't have any application here. The rule is directed against DISCUSSING ongoing games. Quoting from an ongoing game is fine, since it's something that everybody could access if they wanted to. The rule just requires that there be no substantive discussion of that other game.
