20100701 Emotes for extra roleplaying

Bran 18:00, 1 July 2010 (BST)


Suggestion type
Minor flavour to help roleplaying.


Suggestion scope
Everyone.


Suggestion description
Either add a new "action" field next to the "speak" field, or allow us to use /me in the speech field to denote an action (like in IRC and many forums). Right now the only way to make a roleplay-only action is to say it, which wrecks immersion somewhat.

Example:

  • Bran Rainey said "*jumps up and down*" (6 minutes ago)

could become

  • Bran Rainey jumps up and down. (6 minutes ago)

The user would just put "jumps up and down" into the action field (or "/me jumps up and down" into the speech field) to have this result. It would have no effect on the game whatsoever other than making it look a little prettier. That sounds pointless, but I think one of the biggest draws of Urban Dead is the roleplaying, so that's why I'm suggesting this.

Keep Votes

  1. Keep - "/me waves" makes "John waves" rather than "You see John wave", and thus it's not quite a dupe. Also, It's a great idea that works wonderfully with zamgrh. VVV RPMBG haz brang zah bra!nbabah -!!!!!!!!!!- HP. (19:31, 1 July 2010 (BST))
  2. Keep - What TripleU said about the dupe. Also, how does this affect zombies with their death rattle? -- Spiderzed 20:12, 1 July 2010 (BST)
  3. Keep - It's simple, effective, implementable, doesn't affect the fundamental balance of the game and adds another layer of immersion for those that wish to roleplay. If this is a dupe and has been shot down in the past, I'd be intrigued to know why... --BOSCH 20:24, 1 July 2010 (BST)

  1. Dupe. Good effort though. Why not join the cool kids on Developing Suggestions. Oh and How would you avoid a zombie going "/Hi zombies theres a survivor on 4hp next door?"--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 18:40, 1 July 2010 (BST)

  3. Do you know who I am? According to you, I'm a sexual pervert. An animal, you said. You know who I am now? They never lynch children, babies—no matter what they do they are whitewashed in advance 22:06, 1 July 2010 (BST)
