EMOTES TRICKS

Emotes and Actions

THERE™ emotions and actions are the way we reinforce how we are feeling with our family, friends and strangers. A simple emotion added to your words makes the difference between a joke and an insult, so use them wisely!

There are several ways to show these emotions [or EMOTES]:
1) using common "smilies" or acronyms that are often seen in email or chat rooms, for example, :D :) ROFL
2) Using the emotion buttons on the THERE™ status bar, or
3) typing in specific words that have a facial or body actions associated with them, with a single quotation mark/apostrophe in front of the word.

In addition to the "smilies" noted below, specific words are used to exhibit emotions or body actions. In most cases a single tick (the single quotation mark, i.e. ' ) must be typed at the beginning of the word. For example: 'blush

If you wish to make your emote typing invisible, (so that it won't show up in your chat balloon window), in some cases typing another single quotation mark at the end of the word will cause the action/emotion to occur, but those around you will not see what you typed to cause it. (Note: this is not true in all cases, and YOU will see your own typing in a faded gray text, even when other's do not see it.)

To begin using these emotes, just type them. Unless you are in am IM, they should show up in your balloon chat, and your THERE avatar will perform the facial features or body movements associated with them.

A BIG CLUE! If you are using an emote to send kisses to someone in a group, its a good idea to "look at" the person first. In a chat group, you will see a light blue circle on everyone's chest if you move your mouse cursor over them. That menu allows you to LOOK AT them. Do this first before you start blowing kisses unintentionally to someone you don't know :D

FYI:
If you want to JUMP, just click the RIGHT mouse button. If you want to LOOK UP, hold the CTRL key down and move your move away from you (or toward you in some cases). There are a few more emotes that are only usable while standing on a stage such as 'gavel. They appear on your menu if you are the event/class leader.
