An "action" idea.

This may be a stupid idea... but whatever...

I was thinking about that /me command that was available in mIRC way back.... it's not used in an incredible amount on the boards but I know that some of us do use it in our posts to show actions once in a while. I was wondering if you could program something that would make that /me turn into your nickname when the post is made, so that it looks like an action. "Frost ducks behind a desk..."

I'm sure you get the idea. Would this be possible to do AV?

Why is marijuana not legal? Why is marijuana not legal? Its a natural plant that grows in the dirt. You know what's not natural, 80 year old dudes with hardons. Thats not natural, but we got pills for that. We're dedicating all our resources to keeping the old guys erect but we're puttin people in jail for smoking something that grows in the dirt.

it's difficult to detect that in a post. in IRC it is always at the very start of the command but it's not really a viable option for this. Besides, you can just type * feels silly * or whatever.

huskies - such fluff.

Okay, how about doing a command like uhm, hmmm... let me think here...

something like the [] commands? [/me] would equal your name? Is that difficult as well?

If so, I'll stick with the *

* arcanehl saved six keypresses by using "[me]" over "* arcanehl" and is very proud about being able to be even lazier!

* Freak is reminded of that time in high school when he spoke in 3rd person for a month just to piss people off.

Turn off the internet and go play outside.

* darkism thinks it would've been more amusing if Freak had referred to himself as Freak during his one-month stint in the third-person instead of his real name.

Or did he? * darkism wonders....

* DarkTreader is rather happy, since * DarkTreader has a semi-lengthy name. This will save * DarkTreader a good number of keystrokes whilst typing.

* DarkTreader sends his thanks to Av for helping out.

Interesting... when somebody uses the "me" code, and someone else quotes it in a reply to that message, the name changes to the person replying to the message. Don't know if anyone cares, just noticed it, is all.
