RP tools explained

Im trying to make my character live and breathe more. So far i just emote things and smote things. The way i talk is also interesting in this specific character.

Today i saw people talking like this

John replies with a loud squawk "I think you are a lousy jerk! and you smell"

how do i do that!

Also i think people were speaking like this:

rolling on the ground John yell "I'm too fat to get up! Help me!"

And if anyone else has any tools of RP that i can use please help!

I think it's emote says quickly "wow"

pmotes and smotes

If you want to have the first thing happen, you type:

pmote replies with a loud squawk, 'I think you are a lousy jerk! And you smell.'

The game will put your name in front of any pmote. Also if you use pmote, it will insert the word you for a person's name, for example:

pmote smiles warmly at Chayesh.

I would see [blah smiles warmly at you]. Everyone else would see [blah smiles warmly at Chayesh].

For the second one, use smote. Smote is just like pmote except it allows you to put your name anywhere in the sentence, but you must use your name somewhere, like this:

smote Rolling on the ground, John yells, 'I'm too fat to get up! Help me!'

Also, many people set aliases for these so they don't have to type them. That can get somewhat repetitive but it's up to you.

WC is right also. emote will also work. I just prefer pmote for the added personalization that I mentioned. Emotes will appear to everyone just how you typed it.

awesome..

thanks for the quick replies guys!

Not being able to sleep has it perks, just not for me.

WC

umm so.. how do you do it so the text is yellow? like normal text?

It should automatically happen.

WC

Make sure you put your spoken words in quotes.

awesome thanks again! chaps

You can always use props, and props are a brilliant way of starting conversations with people. One of my old chars used to have an elf or fire-giant slave with him most of the time and you can combine those emotes and whatnot with the order command.

order elf pmote turns to Peter, "liek, wtf, my master keeps beatin me up!"

Or the all powerful smote!

For this example I'll use [You, and Player2, and IMM](all three being in the same room)

You(type): smote Player2 snickers at You and says, "omg, this IMM sucks [explicitive deleted]. he should be fired lol pancakes!"

BAM! Player2(that you obviously hate) gets the permban! You: 1 Pbase: 0!

Don't do the above. It's mean. And if you're snooped you're screwed. ...but if you're not being snooped...then Player2's screwed I guess. shrugs Again, don't do it. Unless you feel ris-kay, and really -really- hate Player2.

r u drunk?

raises eyebrow What?

(As for being drunk, check your spelling and grammar. Thanks.)

Urgh...smote abuse. It's like a cheap version of ventriloquate.

smote grannym4n says to Deykari, "rofl harris and his digeridoo"

Don't do it kids!

Ha! Vent'. I use vent' a lot. A lot. It's always fun to pull the multiple successful vents' for say, Athara, and people just stop what they're doing cause they think the imm is actually there.

Yea, vent is pretty cool actually. Haven't had a char that has it for a while, but I'm sure they work differently to pmotes, in the sense that the thing you're ventriloquating doesn't have to be in the room. You can make fountains talk or just confuse the whole room by ventriloquating a giraffe, and allsorts...

Old, blase...done before. Ripped a new one by the IMM in question.

Blase?

Pronounced blasé. (blah-zay)

EDIT: Forgot to ask actually, that last post popped a question in my head - are there any rules regarding ventriloquate, like things to avoid, things that will get you burned and so on?
