BGA Premium and Rank

[Liallan]

I interpreted it the exact same way Jest did. OP wasn't exactly clear. He did say the stats "in the premium accounts." That's not the same as the stats that are all over the site that premium members can see. It was a literal interpretation.

The reason there's nothing funny about the interpretation is that people say all sorts of strange things around here, or have you really not noticed that?

Please remember that not everyone is a native English speaker. Op is from Poland.

Actually most people on BGA are not native English speakers. In an international context it's especially useful to always keep in mind that not everyone commands the same mastery of the language used to communicate. So there can be misunderstandings, especially about humour (because there is also a cultural element there) and irony (because it's sometimes difficult to grasp by nature even for native speakers of the same language).

And this is exactly why I was pointing out that I interpreted it the same way, and why it's not at all an odd interpretation of what was said. It was other people questioning why Jest interpreted it the way he did, and someone else who was getting a good laugh over that. I was pointing out that he wasn't the only one and that there really wasn't anything funny about it.

And there was nothing "bad" or "good" about my interpretation (which was the same as Jest). Maybe someone doesn't even see there's more than one interpretation in order to pick the "best" one. I'm sorry, but that makes no sense to imply we chose the "bad" one.

I was defending Jest against other people - and it was someone else who decided to get a good laugh from his interpretation. Perhaps you should be talking to them, not me.

I didn't mean to imply that. Sorry if I did.
I mainly wanted to express that there is always other possible interpretations. So even if we don't see any other one we should not be too sure about our interpretation

I'm talking to everyone actually
(also to Jest who often uses irony that can be hard to understand, not always sure to understand it all myself )

No worries -- sometimes I don't even understand my own irony.

Well... you did quote me. But thanks for explaining, and I mean that.

(And maybe this is why I "get" Jest when other people don't.)
