We have a (relatively) simple syntax that lets you add special words to your emotes which will be displayed in various useful ways to observers.
You can specify a target for the emote (and right now, only one target is allowed) by doing stuff like @person, where "person" is their name. Other words can then be used to refer to the target in magically formatted ways.
@word: | target sees: | everyone else sees: |
@me | Your Name | Your Name |
@you, @<person> | you | Target Name |
@my | his or her | his or her |
@he^, @she, @they | you | he or she |
@him, @her, @them | you | him or her |
@his, @their, @your | your | his or hers |
@hers, @theirs, @yours | yours | his or hers |
@myself | herself | himself or herself |
@himself, @herself, @themselves | yourself | himself or herself |
The emote system doesn't care if you get the gender wrong... you can use @he or @she interchangeably regardless of your target's gender, but the game will just display the gender-appropriate pronoun.
