F'real, thanks to a bad experience I had else-MUD with rampant snoopers/spyers, I always assume there's a third party watching and emote as such.
Speaking for the hypothetical snoopers/spyers I'd just like to extend our thanks to you for ensuring that the emotes we spy on (hypothetically of course) are properly formatted.
I've become obsessed with Ascii art. I'm pretty sure certain people in my Discord are getting massively fed up with me constantly asking their opinions and thoughts of stuff. I find it really cathartic and a wonderful thing to just get lost in. Here are some of my examples (for some reason it didn't like underscores and won't show them in the picture so just imagine them there);
OH MAN, thanks, that reminded me of my own idea I put in the idea system and forgot. I need code flags for "If using screenreader, ignore this and say this instead"
A confession I became painfully aware of recently:
Whenever I'm emoting, I am always obsessed with making sure my tags ($Stine_him, etc.) make sense not only to the person I'm directly roleplaying with, but any other potential onlookers, secret or not. This means rewriting certain sentences quite a few times until I find a configuration that makes sense regardless of who sees it.
I don't know if anyone else does this, or if I'm particularly weird in this regard. I'LL DIE BEFORE SOMEONE THINKS I HAVE BAD GRAMMER.
I obsess over the same thing, but sometimes it's nearly impossible to get all of the conjugation right
Though I THINK frequently in roleplay, I do not have INSIGHT, or something similar to see other THINKing individuals! I don't ever know Who's out there watching, but I've never been told not to do it.
Besides being asked in the past to do for following good practices, I use them as a metric for figuring if my character is sticking to their character during any particular scene, especially when reading the logs after the fact.
All the Divine are huge fans of THINK. And while it could feel like shouting into the void, it's super cool in RP and hey, sometimes the void looks back.
