#me actions

Just a small idea about making another small section in the site.
The idea is to make some standard #me commands and briefly describe what they mean (the description part doesn't have to be included). This is also good for newbies in illarion. Start the list with simple actions to rather unusual actions. For example:
#me laughs
#me giggles
#me sighs
#me grumbles
This may sound newbish...but it's good for people to know about...maybe they want to perform a certain action and can't get the right words.

#me smirks - one of the most important ones *g*

The only fear that I would have about such a proposal is that the suggested actions may become like a crutch for new players to the game. I'd rather see a section that includes tips on how to use the #me command fairly and correctly, and then also list some creative uses of it.

#me angrily grabs her axe and follows the would-be-sneaky bastard as he walks away with her cabbage thinking he got away with his crime but what he doesn't know is that the pregnant farming queen lady sees everything because shes moody and now he's gonna feel exactly what happens when someone steals from her and gets caught.

This is the correct way that it will be done.

Heheh.

Not quite what I was after. Although I'm sure that you're aware of it, I have seen cases where a few players do not realize that the #me command displays what the other characters see, instead of how it is seen from their point of view.

While

#me scratches her head, seemingly thinking deep thoughts.

is acceptable.

#me is thinking that Quinasa is a very nice lady.

isn't. Quinasa might be a very nice lady. That doesn't mean she can read minds.

Damn right she's a nice lady.

And then there's the always faithful #me pokes her cheek. And for another char... #me appears to be no more than 16 years old, still short and dressed in a long grey cloak that is many sizes too large for her. Two scabbards, one at each hip hide swords that brand her a master of weapons, her light brown shoulder-length banana curls bouncing as she moves her head from side to side shine in the sun like her girlish grin.
