It may or may not have whatever desired effect the player was going for, but didn't speak, but something will happen.  I'm not going to ask for more and if the player doesn't get the desired outcome, perhaps he will realize that next time he should provide further detail.Player: "I try to convince the king."Me: "How?"Player: "I diplomacy."Me: "Are you okay?"None of my players would ever try to speak that way, so it would be a sign that something serious is wrong.Player: "I want that king to listen to us."Me: "The king hasn't been listening to a word you have said and he doesn't seem interested in listening to you.  He continues to talk over you when you try to speak."Again, there's enough there to give a response, even if it's not the one the players are looking for.</blockquote>
