Would you like to see an action emote (aemote) as described below?
Yes, this allows for greater RP, functionality, and just flat out looks better. (Or any reason for saying yes) 82%  82%  [ 28 ]
No, I don't see a real need to add this. (or any reason for saying no) 9%  9%  [ 3 ]
I don't give a spit, SK is all about PK anyways. (or any reason for not being a yes or a no) 9%  9%  [ 3 ]

Utterly lame idea, I believe Dulrik has more important issues to deal with than this garbage.

It doesn't seem that necessary to me, not to mention too many times the entire emote would just get hung up on syntax anyway.
Just use races/adjectives. It makes it take more concentration anyway, so that the person actually doing the emote might actually *gasp* -think- about how the person they are talking to looks!

[irrelevance]On a side note, Fougare's post was extremely confusing. And I've actually done the same sort of thing IRL. [/irrelevance]

I don't know anything about programming, but it's a little hard to see why something like this would be a problem even? Isn't there some bit of code or whatever that already does this for observers with all the actions a character does like walking into a room, speaking or fighting? Some way to access this same functionality would be very useful.

I've been hoping for this for a long time. Yes, it can be gotten around with the current things there, but as he said, it gets awkward. The IMMs are always tweaking the pk aspect of SK so much, why not give us who stink at it something too! :P

I just had a situation today that this would have come in handy. I wanted to emote to someone who was invis. I didn't want to use their adjective because not everyone in there could see them, but to use 'the invisible half-elf' would have looked bad.

We already have emote and pemote. Throw the RP'ers a bone.
