Emotes
Emotes are another means of communicating with your fellow crewmates. Sometimes you're a mime desperately trying to warn them of the nukies around the corner, but usually it's just a way to indulge a little deeper into roleplaying. Regardless of intent, emotes should always be used to convey actions, not meaning - save that for talking (and if you're mute, there's a reason for that).
Custom Emotes
To display an emote in chat, either open chat and switch to the emote channel or from any channel type "/me" (or one of the emote symbols such as @ or *) followed by the emote text. An emote will always be prefixed with your character's name, instead of the usual "Name says," or similar. For example, "/me laughs." would display "Name laughs."
At all times when using the emote system you are subject to rule 4 of Server_Rules#Act_like_a_human_being: "Do not use custom emotes to bypass filters on normal speech, or use them in an incredibly lazy manner."
