Well, as I see it, it would still be rather easy to see through. In this specific case, it would be obvious, that you are not in a fight.
Anyway, I doubt many would use it in such a way, and it is even possible to abuse as the emotes are now, fx:

Rune has summoned you.

Anyway, I think it would be a great idea to improve on the emotes. Maybe also some system, where you could put your name in the middle of an emote like this:

A branch snaps as Rune approaches.

Anyway, I am not the coder, so :P

    - Nope, I've seen someone garbled and they weren't garbled emote-wise, I tried it myself and it wasn't garbled while I was, I posted the bug, but I'm just restating that here.. nt Death_Claw 13:30:25 12/8/2000 (0)
