Yet that's the thing, its painting the picture in your mind about what exactly is going on, and eyerolls. Regardless if its overbearing, its still better than "insert speaking here at a monotone level without any emotes" I would rather read the dramatic emotes then talk to a wall. In fact, I'm going to start treating characters that seem to do that, as robots, either that or constantly angry, regardless of their actual mood. After all, if the dramatic ones gets eyerolls, then then the none existent ones get ignored.

So you're going to make assumptions (or out right invent?) things about another character's motivations and actions.

"Hi, how are you?"

"WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SO ANGRY?" *stares at the enraged person speaking in a robotic monotone with a look of utter bewilderment and then starts sawing at their wrists with a dull knife while tears stream down their cheeks because they just can't take all this hostility anymore, they just can't*

Okay. Have fun. :)

"What is a robot?" *she wondered out loud, suddenly reliving her suppressed memories of the robot war in her old country* "M-my head hurts." *but inside she knew it was her heart that was truly hurting, and she sighed*

*with a sinking feeling of despair as she remembers the old gypsy woman's words, and what must befall her now that she had encountered a robot, she falls to her knees, clawing at her face until streaks of gore run down and and letting out a series of piercing shrieks, though not in an attention grabbing way, as the curse takes hold*

You say: *appears shocked and affronted by the man's rude request for work* "Ugh. Help me drag this newspawn off until he learns some respect, I won't be spoken to in that tone!"

The discussion started on the last page. Some people get annoyed at a lack of emotes, some think over the top ones that break all the rules of polite RP are funny/annoying/annoyingly funny. And now, courtesy of OC we're pretending like any sentence said without an emote attached is automatically robotic or angry. *she explains, her thoughts on the Mexican food she's about to go eat, though she successfully hides her distraction from Rmak even while his angry monotone causes her heart to weigh heavy with unshed tears*

*Walks away upset that Marian just called her a man, not in an upset teenage way but more like an upset your husband just confessed he has a Tattoo of Beyonce riding a Dolphin on his ankle type way*

*he blushes in shame, his right hand unconsciously rubbing his lower back, where the tramp stamp of Beyonce riding a Dolphin is gloriously emblazoned. THEY MUST NEVER KNOW, he thinks*

****Reports Father Brian for emoting his thoughts****

**Rethinks earlier action and takes it back. Brings in a psychiatrist and a couch. Sits back and nibbles on popcorn**
