in RL you can't see who someone is laughing at though, unless they are standing right in front of them laughing or something...

A man is his twenties says "yeew lowly whyper of other peppels bottoms".

We already have something similar just needs som changes to make it more versital. It's called point my make it a little like yahoo does theirs'. If you indicate someone it works one way if you don't it works another way. IE

g1asswa1ker points
g1asswa1ker points at a man in his twenties
g1asswa1ker says thats =west=
g1asswa1ker laughs
g1asswa1ker laughs at =west=

you see what I'm saying.
Somehow you strayed and lost your way,
and now there'll be no time to play,
no time for joy,
no time for friends
- not even time to make amends.
You are too naïve if you do believe life is innocent laughter and fun.

Maybe the person could just laugh and maybe then point. Then everyone will know who he or she is laughing at.

The idea is good, but the present system with *...* works fine.

For us who like the RPG part, a more refined system must still be as flexible.

I agree with Jos.

Bcause i use the freeestyle often if i talk to a person with an unknown language.
I say something in my language and describe the gesture i make in *gesturing*.
Or if i wpold point on different known people in one sentence.. eg.: *pointing on Mr X. Mr. Y & Lady in red*
So the others must not scroll half an hor to know who i am pointing on and read my sayings..

emotes

Postby g1asswa1ker » Thu Oct 23, 2003 5:09 pm

I'm begining to be more inclined with the emotes cause if they are put in and you make a list of of gesture. You coould play on some of these other languages with out know it fluently. the *...* works great but this would give some who are not so inclined with an avenue. Mybe encourage to RP a little more.

What about reversing it?

Instead of emotes and alternate button instead of say.

666-6: You see a man in his twenties thwap a man in his thirities.

Created by a new button called "DO" instead of say.
You would type in "thawp <PLAYER ID=123456>" then press the "Do" button.

Or a little easier than putting the "Do" button on the events page is to put a "Do" icon on the people page. You would click the "Do" icon (just like the talk to icon) and is would bring up a "Do" screen which looks just like the "Talk to" screen.

Type "Smashes a grape on <Player> forehead"
