Emoting

[cedarbridge]

Out of curiosity, and I have suspicions, when is the last time you actually used the /me command to "do" something. Obviously mimes do it periodically (when they're not just getting around their vow with their PDA) but I can only think of one or two people who have actually used it for its ordinary purpose.

[SaveVatznick]

Occasionally, but not often. You can only use it if you're having a conversation, something that doesn't happen often. Mostly I see people use it to signal they're mute .

[teepeepee]

I use "/me salutes" when I see my superiors for the first time in the shift as sec officer and "/me rubs his hands" when I get someone to sign something as lawyer, I throw some shrugs and sighs where necessary too

[imsxz]

i use it pretty frequently, most of the time for styling on people though

/me dabs.

[BeeSting12]

i do shrugs and laughs and stuff like that. dont normally do custom emotes though.

[knacker48]

I mostly use it to wave at spacemen through windows, or the other way around

[PKPenguin321]

I like to throw a blink or cough during awkward pauses when conversing with slow typers

[Eskjjlj]

/me headpats the catgirl.

[Nabski]

Same purpose, but nod and sigh.

[Super Aggro Crag]

/me expels a long and loud fart while maintaining intense eye contact for the duration of the flatulence.

[ThanatosRa]

The last time I played. Then.

[Shaps-cloud]

I use *frown as a catch-all response

Assistant accidentally punched himself in the face? *frown
Clown slips the HoS? *frown
Someone tells me a bomb just went off in medbay? *frown

I also make use of custom emotes a lot for things like squinting or giving people thumbs up.

phoebe sad

[CDranzer]

I had to emote a sad face because I couldn't help the brain-damaged miner I was tasked with saving through surgery a while back.

[PKPenguin321]

Oh yeah and I like to scream a lot

*looks sad*

or

*makes a sad face*

[CDranzer]

I may have used the word "dejected" but I can't remember

[confused rock]

either way is worse than just frowning

[Cobby]

when im deaf and have to "point to p_his() ears"

[zxaber]

you can still talk while you're deaf.

I used emoting the other day when a wizard gave everyone brain damage and I rolled losing the ability to speak. Though, I didn't use it a lot because I was on the way to explore space and had most of my gear ready by that time.

[Cobby]

some people are too dumb to realize aoe deaf means you can't hear either so everyone is trying to talk to each other.

[Farquaar]

Fairly often. Typically in conversation, to salute an officer, or to signal that I'm bored for waiting on the other guy to finish typing his reply.

[gum disease]

If another player is deaf, I'll mime things out for them if there's no nearby paper.
