Smilies.

Psch, just because you're the 'RP guru' doesn't mean I hafta agree with you

 /me says "I was only trying to offer my aid-" he pauses and looks at the floor sadly "- but I'm afraid it did not turn out too well..."

Would take the same amount of effort but would look so much better, at least in my opinion.

I'm sure that doesn't go for everyone - I was mentally conditioned from forum-based RPing (where it's done in past-tense, and *'s are discouraged. There's also a lot more detail and thought put into it because since it goes post-by-post you have as much time as you want to write it well).


It'll be hard to change the mental relations I have between *s and noobs

I totally agree. As much as I like you UTM, and agree with you in most cases, it doesn't mean you can just decree that you are right and infallible.

I would like to change what I said before. It really irritates me if people are constantly using LOL and :P in open chat. Im stood at harnquist while an arguement is going on and it is most irriating.

[Parallo]

I'm nearly positive this wasn't happening when I arrived. Has roleplaying in PS slipped that much.

[Nikodemus]

Maybe it wasn't RPing?

anyway, on topic.
With the options filter incoming messages and outgoing messages it is almost sure that noone ca loose there. Those who can benefit from converted smilies will do it and those who won't, just set the options as they wish.

If someone want to see it in game i propose to prepare the edited file and bug a dev about it. Since it's easy i suppose, but time taking.

I think you must be right. I dont remember it ever being as bad as I just experienced.

Thats kind of the point, if its in open chat and not in [] then it should be RP.

That would affect all channels, I like to see and be able to do such things in guild chat and other channels. I just dont want to see it in main chat.

Also, no matter what filter you use, you can't turn LOLers into proper RPers. It's not magic...

I don't think they are against rping.  I use it to signify my character smiling after a statement or something.

[Idoru]

* Idoru wonders 'what is wrong  with the alternative'

* Idoru sighs

[Karyuu]

shorty13: By the same argument you could use "lol" to signify that your character is laughing out loud ;)

You're not going to see smileys in a novel, and I think the same "rules" should apply to roleplay text in the game. Text is what your character speaks. You can't pronounce ":)"

colon close bracket?

Like Idoru said, would it be so hard to use
'/me smiles after making the statement'.
Or
'/say <statement>'
'/me smiles'
Or even
'/me states "<Statement>" and then smiles.'

Whoops. sorry folks, I should have added /humor to my declaration.

The main point is that you can not fight the rain. You can just shield yourself from it.

Oh, and I think you would pronounce ' :) ' with no voice, and a sideway snap of your neck. Like "se-crick!"

[emeraldfool]

Whoops. sorry folks, I should have added /humor to my declaration.

I got that you were being humourous. Thus the face: I was mirroring your tongue-in-cheek expression.
Parallo didn't get it 'cause he's an eejit, but everybody expects that

Maybe not, but we can sure as heck whine about it

And thus the PS forums were born
