Hey imms! Me and Chobchob would love to have more emotes in the game!! We’d love to make suggestions, as I’m sure other players would too!
I know you can do something like
emote does a pirouette and clicks her heels and catches a butterfly out of the air while embroidering a pillow cover!
but it’s just not the same :(
You are welcome to suggest specifics and they will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
The requirements for building an emote include 9 versions of the message for the different scenarios of actor, actee and observer. The more that you have thought out the more likely it is to get implemented (though always subject to review for appropriateness to game).
Please submit them to the wizlist at your leisure.
Cheers,
Clink

It might be helpful if you enumerated these, please.
I think there are in fact 8 versions, which are:
1 issued with no target, message to self
2 issued with no target, message to others in room ($n is you)
3 issued with target, message to self ($N is target)
4 issued with target, message to others in room except target ($n is you, $N is target)
5 issued with target, message to target ($n is you)
6 issued with invalid target
7 issued with target of self, message to self
8 issued with target of self, message to others in room ($n is you)
Where I say “$n is you”, the following substitutions are made:
$n your name
$m him/her/it as appropriate for you
$s his/hers/its as appropriate for you
$e he/she/it as appropriate for you
Where I say “$N is target” the same substitutions apply for the target, but all uppercase. For example, here’s the messages for “growl”:
Grrrrrrrrrr…
$n growls angrily, like a fierce animal.
You growl at $M.
$n growls at $N.
$n growls at you!
Growl at who?
You growl at yourself.
$n growls at $mself.
Note that you can submit emotes but we may or may not put them in depending on whether we like them, we aren’t promising anything.
Will start on it! :cackle:
Where can I find a list of current available emotes?
They’re known as socials. ‘commands socials’ should bring up a list of all of them.
Another suggestion: to add Braille alphabet to the braille spellbook or to help file. I can post here this alphabet. :^)

Where do I email it to? :(

Where and what is the wizlist :(
Sorry, I’m really new :(
coders:at:slothmud.org is probably your best bet.
