I keep seeing more instances of people typing things like:
*g* or *L*
What the heck his that?
I initially just brushed it off as a typo or... something but I've seen it too many times now for that. I think.
No matter how I turn my head I can't get a convincing face out of either of those... what are they?
-
Well I havn't encountered that, but I'm guessing grin and laugh?
-
Looks like a smiley... :)
-
I say down with that junk! ruins immersion. Come on folks, four more letters? Doesn't it just feel so much more natural to do *grins*? Abandon those lazy text messaging and online chat abbreviations!
We prefer not to see TY, lol, nm, *g* etc. while roleplaying. Please consider avoiding such usages as best as possible. Thank you.
Edit: Wait, Talan were you saying you see this in game or in other communications?
-
Plus, *L* and *g* don't trigger any fire-and-forget emotes in-game. Thanks to the lovely contextual work in Layo, *laughs*, *chuckles*, *giggles*, etc, all fire the laughing emote, and so forth. *L* does not.
-
Agreed. Well stated Orth.
-
if you dont wish to hear the Emote all you have to do is add a star **Laughs* Doing this will get no emotes.
-
We didn't say we didn't want to hear emotes......?
-
(psst... in case you don't want to trigger the auto-in-game-emotes, you can also write: "/o C toggle noemotes")

Heh, acctually I meant in other communications. Well, sometimes in NWN but not IC on layo.
I was just asking as I'm always confused when new emoteish things come around like those non-sideways ones... ^_^ or whatever

oh... well i figured that might be part of the reasion people only say *g* over *giggles*.. ah well *shrugs*
-
I always thought that *g* was *grins*, just as *L* is *laughs*. Regardless, I think it's just shorter to type, rather than seeking to disable the visual/audio emote triggers.
-
I thought *L* was a sudden Alter Self spell to make you look like Leanthar.
*He chuckles.*
-
Is there a list somewhere with all the "/o" emote commands? I know there are probably many I am not aware of, and they make for great game play.....Ive been looking through the search but havent found any...
Thanks
-
"/o C help" will give you a list of all speech recognition help.
*emotehelp* will give you a list of emotes.
Hope that helps. ;)

awesome thanks!, I loved it when you all implemented that feature, so cool!
