Emote Cheating during Ban-Talk
Valid Emotes
What makes a valid emote?
1. Use PHYSICAL ACTIONS that can be SEEN
e.g. '/me nods' is ok, but '/me agrees' or '/me thinks so too' is not.
Nodding is a physical action. People can see you nod your head. But unless you say so, no one knows that you 'agree' or that you 'think so too'. That is to say, 'agreeing' and 'thinking' are internal, unseen actions. So saying 'me agrees' is really a way of saying "I agree". Which is cheating.
Warning: actions that makes noises or sounds (through the mouth) are treated as talking. e.g. '/me laughs'
2. Use PRESENT TENSE only
e.g. '/me looks sad' is ok, but '/me is looking sad' is not.
Emoting should be done in the present tense. Using the continuous tense not only sounds weird, but uses 'is'. The problem is, 'is' and 'has' are common ways to cheat. e.g. '/me is hungry' or '/me has money'. There is no way for people to know this unless you tell them. Which is cheating. Which is why 'is' and 'has' are banned. Using PRESENT TENSE only avoids this issue. And you won't sound weird.
3. Avoid VOCAL SOUNDS like laughing, giggling, meowing
Though not technically words, laughing, giggling, meowing, etc. are vocal communication. Because that's like talking, it's banned. This means saying: "lol", "rofl", "lmao" is also banned.
Other things you should know
If you follow the above criteria and some common sense, you should be ok.
The LULU system is self-learning and continually improving. Even if you successfully game the system one day, you might trigger a breach the next.
If you are on Gag Training Mode (formerly Gag Trials), it's best to be very cautious and not to take risks. An emote breach will immediately end the current Training session.
