Help page 4 - How to Emote.
Introduction.
The emote is a special case of the say or tell command. Your name is placed in your message in
front of anything you type so you can then describe what you are doing. In this way you can talk
in the third person and even hold an entire conversation using emotes. Emotes are tricky to begin
with, just remember to place a verb (or "is") at the start of any emote and then build it from there.
Warning! - Use emotes too much and you'll be happily walking down the street thinking to yourself
(put your name here) walks down the street. Before you realise it you'll be talking in
emotes in the real world too! ;-)
Examples.
Sabrina could give a simple emote to the room by typing emote
waves hello. Everyone in the room would see
Sabrina waves hello.
If Sabrina just wanted to wave to Amy then she would just type remote
amy waves hello. This way only Amy would see the text
Sabrina waves hello. on her screen.
NOTE: You can use : and ;
in place of emote and , in place of remote.
