Awwr, no groom and wag emotes.

Lobos can have wag, but groom has to be shared with, if not owned by, aslaran. (I've been suggesting that one since before the thread started.)

(I think you mean that you have been suggesting it since before the first thread was started)

How about since before this forum existed?

I think all the furred-races should have groom, including Igasho.

But there isn't any hypnotism in Lusternia.

Cantor's Guild Emote!!!

First Person View: You take a moment to compose a few rhyming lines
about the daring deeds of EMOTEE, and then sing those lines to an
improvised melody for all to hear.
Third Person View: EMOTER looks thoughtful for a moment, then serenades
you with a brief ditty about your daring deeds.
Message to others in room: EMOTER looks thoughtful for a moment, then
serenades EMOTEE with a brief ditty about EMOTEE's daring deeds.

Please let this be considered.

That should be for all bards, really.

Nooooooo!!! It's an emote with double value. First, to show your mudsex lover you're enjoying it, and to freak out people by doing it randomly after a certain topic is said.

Like being so happy 'I think I'm going into orgasm!!' (Note: Douglas Adams quote, if you recognise it, you rock!)

I have never liked things where you say something, but you don't actually say something. Imagine if instead of talking to someone you just did "emote says something extremely witty", or if your priestly class's rituals were all "em carries out an elaborate ritual of breathtaking beauty and solemnity" instead of actually making and carrying out a ritual. If you want to make a few rhyming lines about the daring deeds of someone, go ahead. Make actual lines that actually rhyme and are about the actual deeds of that person, and then sing them. Don't lean on an emote to not-do your work for you.

So, is COLDSTARE going to be implemented? Even as a regular emote? I think many would like the use of that one. There so needs to be way to icily stare someone down.

Some loving for bards:

TUNE

You hum a cheerful tune.

Linwe hums a cheerful tune.

Listening closely while playing a scattering of notes, you adjust the strings of an ebony and moonhart mandolin until it is perfectly in tune.

Linwe seems to think you're an out-of-tune instrument.

(Obviously you should never use this targetted at a person, only at an instrument, which is why the last one is so silly -- it's just an error message of some sort. It'd be better if it could be coded to be different if used on a person vs. an object, of course.)

I intend to do some more work on emotes very soon. If you would like to see poses added to any emotes add your suggestions here for them. Make sure you do a targeted and untargeted example. There are a scant few I will not be able to add poses to so don't get upset if you don't see one added.


ORGASM will not be getting a pose.

Amen.

Thats quite extreme and yeah no, a pose for ORGASM isn't good, or right. But still, keep it in. The perverted ones need love too!

BITE and GIDDYUP added.

Be sure to GIDDYUP Charune when you see him! Muahahaha!!

Add SPASM to the list of new emotes.

A million million thanks for the bite emote.

SLOWDANCE

1: Lifting your arms as if locking them around a dance partner, you begin to glide gently about the room.
3: Linwe lifts her arms as if locking them about someone else, and begins to glide about the room.
1t: You lift your arms in order to hold Person close, you lead them in a slow dance.
2t: Gazing into your eyes, Linwe wraps her arms about you and holds you close before carefully leading you in a dance.
3t: Gazing at Person, Linwe wraps her arms about him and the two begin dancing together slowly.

EDIT: took out a couple things that sounded awkward.

Do note that my antlers are not just for show, if you try and giddyup me.
