Title: Think Emotes
Post by: Kankfly on November 05, 2009, 09:27:24 AM
Every time I RP using the think command and include emotes, it always takes me a second to rephrase it in my head, mainly because it's got the 'feel' thing before it.

>think *amused* This guy is funny.

>Feeling amused, you think: "This guy is funny."

But I've been thinking whether the 'feeling' is really necessary, because sometimes I just feel like doing it this way instead:

>think *sighing inwardly* Krath, this one is taking his sweet time.

>Sighing inwardly, you think: "Krath, this one is taking his sweet time."

Thoughts?

Edited to add: Not sure if this was brought up. If it is, link me!

I have always wanted this, and I tend to not use think command emotes because adding 'feeling' at the beginning makes them seem tacked on and lifeless.

I've always wanted this too. But then I got over the want and just emoted after thinking, while using the 'feeling' to get over another road-block. Switching them around could become annoying, seeing as I don't regularly use the "feel" command.
As much as I like this idea. I have to say, no.

I love the idea, it would make the think command more versatile.

Debating with yourself, you think:
      "Yeah, but it's only -one- peice of candy from a stranger."

KNOWING better, you think:
      "That's all it takes if it's poison."

Yes plz.

I just change my writing to fit the think command.

think (a mental sigh) Damnit.

think (like you know better) But it looks yummy.

think (like a scream is being held inside) OW.

I'd rather staff fixed things like mount not being a command emote than to do this.

I agree with Gimf though, you can get most anything within the confines of the think command.


think (your hands wrap around the hilt of your blade) There be Gith about.

think (nauseous waves of pain shriek through your body as the the Gith twists the dagger) Huh, I thought it'd hurt more...


You are very hungry.

Feeling weak from a sudden pang of hunger, you think:
     "Krath, when did I last eat? Was it that tuber earlier or--"

A yellow-skinned gith stabs you very hard in the head.
You reel from the blow.

Feeling that maybe you shouldn't be focusing on food, and instead focusing on THE GITH THAT IS ATTACKING YOU, you think:
     "OUCH!"

Except I think it'll allow more flexibility, instead of spending some time figuring a way to detour it. Which is why I barely use think emotes myself.
