Forced Emotes - Learn what it is I'm surprised at how many throw words like "Roleplay this" and
"Roleplay that" around as in themselves being topnotch roleplayers.
Saying that and -not- knowing that Forced Emotes is a nono.
A forced emote is when you decide completely on your own what happens
to someone else's character.
Joe: *casually trips Jane when she walks by*
Joe: *spits on Jane's shoe* (mind you, "spits at" is okay, it doesnt say it hits)
Joe: *slaps Jane in the back while she's eating her soup*
Had it been a PvP server I would have attacked on several occations when
someone had annoyed me with a forced emote. "Emote your way out of this, moron"
Generally forced emotes are only acceptable between players who know what's
okay and not. And for those who lead the story, usually the DM.
There are always exceptions to the Rule, like scribbling stuff on someone
who's unconscious or minor things like shaking someone's hand when he offers
it etc.
If you are thinking "I'm way quicker than him, he can't avoid my blow" then
use the dice bag. A lovely tool.
