Idk if I buy this explanation, you seemed aware that him being fine with Rag meant that he wasn't scum reading her, wanted him to elaborate on that, and in exchange you'd tell him who to vote and why. Otherwise you're saying you thought he meant he was fine with vote Rag, yet he doesn't know who to vote for and wants suggestions on who to vote for - info that is pointless to give if you believed he was saying he wanted to vote Rag.You see, this stemmed from me misinterpreting the meaning of "fine". I thought it meant he was fine with lynching Rag, not that he wasn't scumreading Rag anymore. So the original intent was to get him to express his opinion on why it a rag vote was fine, and backfired because I'm apparently dumb. Then I felt obligated to keep up my part of the bargain and see what happens.
Granted, misinterpretations can happen, I just don't know if your write off of it as so is true.
