Hmm...this emote system seems really complicated...the example would make it seem like your MUD actually converts contractions like 'you're' to 'you are' and searches for pronouns 'you' and 'your' and then changes the first 'you' to the targetted character's name, and the other 'you's to 'him' or 'her', then changes 'your' to 'his' or 'her' and then correspondingly conjugates the verb (in your example, from 'are' to 'is' ). Is your system really that advanced or is that a bad example or is it just a hardcoded emote?

I'm just curious, because it seems pretty nifty if it works the way you show it.

(Heh, maybe its much simpler and I'm just getting confused, by the way. Sorry if that's the case.)

EDIT: I thought I should just add that I was referring to the process by which the game converts from "emote @zadmar thinks you're your own worst enemy..." to what you see, which is "Your character thinks Zadmar is his own worst enemy."
