** EMOTES ** ?

[tooh]

Is allowed use ** bla bla bla ** for emote anything the char is thinking at moment or are some other tag or rule to follow ?

[Thomas_Not_very_wise]

You were emoting, **When the druids walk in, it suddenly smells really bad.**

For all you know, I put on perfume this morning, <3

Personally, I'm in favour of emotes being limited to physical actions, facial expressions and body language - Not things like otherwise unknown insights into a character's mental process;

*Thinks X is dumb*, etc.

Emotes for the world at large, and circumstance of other players' characters, should be left to the DMs.

But reactions to the above are obviously fine, if not encouraged!

[tooh]

Make sense. thanks both.

There is one. At trog caves.

[Wern8]

Certainly not. At the meantime I must say that I am beginning to suspect ScottyB's moral integrity.

[Conan The Conqueror]

I like to bathe in the toad pond.

I can say that as both a DM and a Player nothing breaks immersion for me more than lots of unnecessary emotes, that do not pertain to actions, or appearance. And even the appearance ones can get silly, like-

*looks like a raging badass* or *is wearing a super nifty trench coat*

Things like this are only really funny for the people writing them. For everyone else, it's just sort of a turn off.

[Secutor]

I like the occasional emote that hints at thought processes. You can't always get an emote properly across with the adjectives one usually limits to facial expressions or physical motions.
eg
[Mac smiles viciously at Biff as though suddenly struck by an evil thought.]

[I can has fun?]

I like it when people write thirty-word emotes to describe the gloss of their character's hair.

[Kiaring]

Or the marbliness of their skin.

*possesses a mane of magnificently lavish, lavender hair, reminiscent of a thousand perfect rose petals that one had blended into fibers of pure beauty, were beauty to actually be harvested in such a form, and rose petals truly possible in the flavor lavender, though not to digress, ultimately, the crescendo of elegant threads flow softly, sparkling as rays of the sun shine within and through, as a reflection of bright skin below resembles the seductive scent of, along with the smooth surface of flawless marbles, so distinct that even the most soiled and gnarly of humanoids could sense it from acres away*
