For pemotes (Which I use all the time) it's just displayed in the third person for the person issuing it, may as well do that for a targeted emote.

First post of the thread wrote:
What are the chances of us getting something like temote?

A substantial amount of players in SK love Fountain RP (tm), but besides the socials, emote, and pemote, our 'motes' are kinda limited. In the past, players have suggested emotes where their names go somewhere in the middle of the sentence, that got shut down quickly, as it was said that kind of mote's reserved for the immortals.


What is temote? For the sake of this idea let's call it target emote. The end product's name can be anything.

Let's say there are three PCs in a room:
Mary - a lithe female half-elf
John - a muscular male human
Ben - a chubby male giant

I'm Mary. I want to emote nodding and then smiling at the giant. So I enter: emote smiles and nods at the giant. From John's perspective, this works just fine, but from Ben's perspective, he sees that Mary smiles and nods at the giant. It is awkward, because he is the giant. Similarly, doing the emote smiles and nods at you. doesn't work well for multiple obvious reasons.


If this gets implemented, Mary can type in:
temote smiles and nods at chubby. (not greeted)
temote smiles and nods at Ben. (greeted)

John would see:
Mary smiles and nods at a chubby male giant. (not greeted)
Mary smiles and nods at Ben. (greeted)

Ben would see:
A lithe female half-elf smiles and nods at you. (not greeted)
Mary smiles and nods at you. (greeted)


Please! + Thank you.

Hi everyone. Some of the other forum threads contain discussions of roleplaying, incentives to roleplaying, and quality of roleplaying. It reminded me of this thread. Curiously I searched for it and found that it has already been a year long since this was created. I still strongly believe this would be one of the greatest implementations and additions to SK, and the public poll of these forums coincides with that belief.

Please, if we are considering implementations to further support roleplaying in Shattered Kingdoms, please add this into the list of prospects. Please. Thank you.


PS. This is not a troll post.

I mentioned something very similar in another thread so obviously I agree with this VERY much.

I thought there was something really buggy going on since it had me already having voted for this, before I realized how old this post was. Yes, please, yes, yes, yes!

It would also be nice to get away to say and emote at the same time.
Something along the lines of:

,laughing 'You idiot!
Joe says laughing, 'You idiot!'
And then maybe we could go back to having emotes know no language barrier. Or at least give them a much better chance of being understood.
