Re: Pmotes, Smotes, Oh My!

Looks like there isn't a consistent definition of pmote/smote across MUDs. Isn't surprising.

I play Armageddon, which mansa has already posted about, but I just wanted to point out that targetting emotes (as Davarius posted about) and starting an emote with something besides your name/sdesc (the @emit feature Brody posted) are both features that come packaged in the normal Armageddon emote command.

For example, on Armageddon I could do:

emote With a friendly smile, @ waves at ~mansa from across the thread.

Mansa would see:

"With a friendly smile, Jherlen waves at you from across the thread."

Everyone else sees:

"With a friendly smile, Jherlen waves at Mansa from across the thread."

So Armageddon's pemote command is virtually the same as our emote, the only difference being that pemotes start with the possessive "Jherlen's" rather than just "Jherlen". Our semote seems like it's something entirely original.
