I think you normally get messages along the lines of "this is a test" for this, to which the customary answer nonetheless seems to be "I object." (Strangely, I vaguely remember that that custom *predated* Apathy being added to the rules.) More recently, I've taken to using normal game actions for this sort of test, e.g. voting, to reduce the risk that people suspect that I'm up to something. (When I am up to something, I typically prefer other people to not realise it, in case they work out what I'm up to and stop it somehow. When I'm not up to something, I again don't want to raise suspicions about what I might be up to, in case people end up making life difficult for me trying to stop the nonexistent scam.) -- ais523
