Freeform 09/05/2015 11:56 PM CDT
SMILE, FROWN, and PONDER are cool things, but having only those available as freeform verbs is a bit limiting. I wish ACT could lose the parenthesis, but I'm aware that's unlikely to happen. So barring that, would there be any way of converting more verbs to allow for freeform emoting so there is a bit more flexibility? Ones that come to mind that would be ideal are SIGH, BOW, FRET, FIDGET, and SOB. They're pretty generic as-is and with the exception of SIGH (which wouldn't be detracted from at all by conversion) don't have anything else going for them at the moment.

I like freeform! I feel weird using ACT because of the parentheses, so this suggestion would be cool.

Sigh is sort of freeform. You should be able to "sigh softly" or "sigh loudly."

I don't think it's quite as expansive as smile, iirc it's just one extra word but I can't test it at the moment.

Yeah, it is just an extra word right now. It'd be nice if it was expanded to be more like SMILE!

I personally like this idea, but I'd rather see emotes added to BOW than to make it freeform.

In fact.. That sounds like an excellent September submission/contest.

Mega stoked about the BOW contest.

I wanna add GESTURE to the list of suggestions for freeform stuff too... if anyone is taking a look at that anyway!

GESTURE is used for a few things like casting warrior mage cantrips and shifting moonbeams, so it's probably not a good candidate for freeform.

Gesture is also tied to cleric resurrection

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.
