A person could claim they were ventriloquated.

I'm taking that as staff approval that I can learn every language and RP not knowing certain ones.

You -could-. You'd just have to bow to the mechanics of the game, instead of whining about them on a forum. Guaranteed - any experienced player of the game is going to learn most (if not all) languages, in a rather expedient manner. If you want to RP through emotes, RP through emotes. Just don't expect everyone else to pander to your expectations.

I do believe I ALREADY SAID THAT.

On topic:
I agree with jhorleb that it would be preferable to keep emote and language separate, and then police abuse.

That being said, it takes no effort at all to just learn the languages and understand people's emotes. If you really wanted to, you could learn the languages and then rp that you don't actually understand what people are saying.

I tried doing something like that once elsewhere. I said I couldn't fly, even though I codedly had wings. I was RPing that they were too damaged to carry me. Another player forced me to fly.

I'm not going to get things like that here... right?

Hahahahaahahahaah hAHahAHahahahaha that is so extremely awesome!!

As was said already by several people, and was acknowledged as being understood, socials are the universally recognized gestures. If your RP requires a social that doesn't currently exist, we would be more than happy to consider adding it to the social list if it is well thought out. It's not a matter of adding code, so they can be added while the game is running quite quickly.

As far Le Petit Prince's allegations of favoritism by sleeping with people, I refute that it has ever happened. More than a handful of imms have been kicked out for cheating over the years, but I cannot remember a single case of this even being alleged, much less proven true. As always, if you suspect an imm is cheating, my email box is always open. Your claim will be impartially investigated. But if you don't have any proof, don't expect me to start kicking people out just based on your say-so.
