Pepe there are somethings you might not pick up.
Yes this is a game of interpretting actions but there are some language nuances which may or may not be scum tells.
For example with Ragian I did not like his "don't feel comfortable with Voting for Max" line.
"Don't feel comfortable" to me is a phrase that is honestly used when either you are being asked to side against a friend, or when you feel someone is being picked upon.
Rag hasn't explained "not being comfortable" as either of those.
Therefore I think when he used that phrase, he consciously chose to use that phrase - so I wonder why.
Perhaps he just didn't want to say I'm against or opposed to voting for Max.
If so perhaps its innocent because he didn't want an outright fight with me at that point.
Or perhaps he chose the phrase because he wanted to downplay scummy motives.
I do think it was a chosen phrase though.
Other people may disagree with me, I may be accused of being a language Nazi.
But nuances in language and whether they indicate something to me are things which I might pick up on, and in which I may be correct or incorrect; but they are things which a person whose native language is not English would find very difficult if not impossible to pick up on.
