I was about to engage in a frivolous session of cybersex with my friend but realised that #w #me doesn't work, is that true or did it just change?

underlined may or may not be true

He means type "#w #me takes the man in his firm arms."

Which does not work, indeed.

Nor does the whole "click on the hushed lips and #me", and hasn't done for a long time. Your emotes are shown to all.

This function was a bug. And Nitram fixed it June 09.

Aww, it was useful for showing emotes to people that are close to you that only them can see, don't remove a nice feature just because of a buncha cybersmexers!

#w #me discretely slides his hand into his vest, firmly gripping onto his dagger and hinting its shimmering blade to the woman as he mutters quietly, otherwise not attracting any attention.
#w Come on lassy, your gold, else I'll take your purse drenched in your own blood.

Then why not take Hadrian's suggestion?

#w *discretely slides his hand into his vest, firmly gripping onto his dagger and hinting its shimmering blade to the woman as he mutters quietly, otherwise not attracting any attention.*
#w Come on lassy, your gold, else I'll take your purse drenched in your own blood.

Works the same I'd think

I would think anyone can see a hand sliding into a vest that happens to be watching. Another way to handle the same thing.

#me slides his hand into his vest discretly giving a winsome smile yet eyes watch the woman carefully before whispering.

#w I have a dagger in this vest lassy, say not a word and give me your gold else I'll take your purse drenched in your own blood.

It does, but it looks ugly. :(

I always thought this was a feature, not a bug.

That was a bug.

You can't hide your actions!
We see everything!

Sorry for hijacking this post but since it has been resolved and since this is sort of related..

Why doesn't, blah blah blah #me blah blah blah, work? It would be nice to have #me in the middle sometimes, to break up the norm.

I don't know how difficult it would be to script an #me in the middle of a post *gives a small shrug* however certain posts can get around that and is accepted by all.

#me tilts her head appearing thoughtful "..and of course you can also post speech inside an #me"

This is something which I have done for years and has never seemed to present itself as an issue. It turns the dialogue into a bit more of a narrative format.

#me shrugs his shoulders, a timid expression defying his boldly-stated words. "Indeed, that -is- what I think," he says, yanking the longsword from its worn sheath.

As opposed to..
Shrugging his shoulders, and with a timid expression that defies his emboldened words, #ME states, "blah blah blah"

Still, two ways of writing the same thing, yet #ME's don't work mid sentence.

Like wise,
"blah blah blah", said #me. -doesn't work.
Especially when the narrative is about you and not #me..
"Off with her head!" yelled #me from the back of the crowd.
"Burn the witch!", heckles #me. Sure I can write, #me shouts "Liar!" but that makes me the subject as opposed to the Liar.

On to another thing not about but related to #ME's
Orc:[Orc:************************] but with #ME's "things between quotes are all part of the mote and as id the quotation marks don't exists" Any way of making "the things inside quotation marks come out like a normally stated sentence in a native tongue. eg #ME spurts out his wine and coughs out "whaaaaa?!" to anyone that knows the pixie language but everyone else reads, #ME spurts out his wine and coughs out "*********"

:idea:

If you have so much complicated things to say, perhaps you could use an enter?

#me coughs and speaks in a wheezing tone
Thar be pirates in that cove lass! Pirates
#me takes another swig of beer

One last bit.

A way to refer to other s in #ME's so as to use the greet checks. eg #me takes <Janes> hand and kisses it. Those that don't know jane will see John takes the elfess hand and kisses it or if they labeled her, queeny and don't know me, A gnome takes queenys hand and kisses it.

If there is someone there and you aren't certain they know the elfess you are hand kissing, simply:
#me kisses the elfess on the hand.

Or, if theres more than one:
#me turns to the elfess in leather, and kisses her hand.
