Posted: 24 Aug 2006 04:46 PM What does it mean?!? Do you stare blankly into distance and drool? Do you stand open mounthed and let flys fly in? Do you pause in shock and horror? Do you get suddenly baffled by intellect response? Do you take a short pause to let your words sink in? Do you idioticly just stand there doing absolutely nothing? Do you blah blah blah... ??? GRRR!!! I HATE IT! Are you people too lazy to explane the reasons of your silence? Now let's let the "..." burn in glorious flames!!! Bwahahahaaa!! Okay, that went into overacting. Nightmare this may be, but it's not a dream.  Mykal Joined: 06 Feb 2004 Total Posts: 1633 Send PM   Re: ... Posted: 24 Aug 2006 04:55 PM What does it mean?!?

Posted: 24 Aug 2006 05:05 PM Ditto. And, when properly timed, I find it to be the most perfect and funniest response there can be. Remember...efficiency is the key to this game. Emote all you want, but as for me, give me just what I need. That's my two cents.

Posted: 24 Aug 2006 05:36 PM I find it useful for situations where characters are simply taken back by the complete stupidy of someone. Like Fennigan. Very useful when your around Fennigan.  Saintraven Joined: 18 Oct 2005 Total Posts: 89 Send PM   Re: ... Posted: 24 Aug 2006 05:37 PM Glad you peope didnt take it too seriously. Though i do find one word emotes and such to be a litte lazy replys, but most as true it is, they "efficient use of time". Not that when i'm playing something (NWN for example) I'm not in a too great hurry... FYI - Dont take me too seriously. This is what I'd call getting caught on little things that hardly matter at all. EDIT: Guess i'm trying to say: Relax, take your time and dont be hasty.

And its variants ! and ?! etc. Its a piece of punctuation and a pure image simultaneously. Its classic comic book dialogue too. We can't do those radiating lines that signify rage, or the drops of sweat that say "I'm scared as heck!" but we sure can go !!! Just a hair away from emoticons, I know. I think it counts as text. Sorry about the translation issue Saintraven -your bitter one-liner - I have absolutely been guilty of responding and responding and responding as though someone had gone away from the keyboard. I'm a fast typer but I'll try and be more conscious of having back-and-forth talk. "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about dying." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It means lying in the ground with dirt on your face and holding your breath forever." -Burt Reynolds, "The End"  Saintraven Joined: 18 Oct 2005 Total Posts: 89 Send PM   Re: ...

Posted: 24 Aug 2006 08:08 PM Heh, a bunch of my friends in the Battle Grounds community communicate primairily in German, and they know I have a vague understanding of it, but never realize just how vague it is.

Posted: 24 Aug 2006 08:24 PM As James said, when properly timed, it's the most hilarious response you will ever see. Seriously. And I have to say, Glor is the "..." master. Nothing in the world brings me more glee than saying something particularly shocking, outrageous, risque, or whathaveyou, and getting one of those loaded "..."s. Never has someone put so much expression into those three little dots. /bow Consequences Unsent It's hard to say it, time to say it...

If I had feelings they would be hurt right now. Confusion is a powerful weapon. Harmless stupidity is a powerful disguise. .... What?
