I used to be on that situation, as kisser and hugger.. But funny thing here is that nobody ever said to me (In IC or in OOC) that they are annoyed. Instead they just kept quiet and probably did complain behind backs.. Now irl it's easy to read body language and all but on game not so... And I'm not foreteller so how I am supposed to know if nobody tells me? Also i want to point out that if others are quiet... They might get impression what they do is fine.. I did too so I can't be only one.

So what I find puzzling is how people do complain in their heads but don't say it out load (which might help..) or just give some small signs that you probably just shrug off. It's funny how much that is like irl..

In fact irl complaining about really annoying public behaviour, no matter how gently you word it, often results in a big row, a fight, or worse. So most people prefer to shut up and endure the annoyance.
One of my chars actually did ask a rather noisy couple to please be quiet once. The couple immediately left town to never come back!
I think ...

Okay, well that's more about nationalities then :D I know finnish prefer to mutter quietly things and maybe these things again show in game.. Different people have different background etc. But interesting how game can be so much like irl..

*epic saga occurs, 90% in Polish, which I prefer not to translate because none of my characters know any*
I spot what I think might actually be an answer I can understand to a question I've been wondering OOC about.
Throw it in Google translate to confirm.
Google translate tells me it means the exact opposite of what I thought.

Doesn't change anything for my character at all but that's a puzzle and a half >_<

It annoys me when somebody's status is listed as "unconscious" and they still keep talking. It's okay to emote collapsing and uncontrollable movements during the passed out state, but just because it's technically possible to talk, doesn't mean that you should. The reason it's possible to talk is to allow emoting. If you have the frowny face icon, that means you should act like you're unconscious. In the other hand, if you have the brightest keg icon, that means you're conscious but having trouble standing up or staying in balance. I'm not sure if it's possible to see the description on your own character page but you can always see the icons.

A quick guide for reference:

When your character likes so much another character almost at first sight.
Discovering that you have such a freaking jealous character. Where did that came from???!!

Had the same deal. Luckily it worked out and the puppy love moved to a real deal.

I hardly doubt this will move to anywhere... But I wasn't expecting that from this char, really...

During an IC conversation remembering a somewhat related comic which you read long ago and fighting with the strange urge of mentioning of it in a way.

One of my chars wants to cry. The other cannot stop laughing. I feel bipolar. And I have a headache.
