act

  • verb/1 The command which causes your persona to appear to perform some minor action, eg. 'act "adjusts his tie."'. Act doesn't actually make any change to the game, however, and is purely for the benefit of observers. It is abbreviated in actual usage to colon (':') or semi-colon (';') followed by an implied string. The command is 'pose' on some MUAs, 'emote' on others. It is subject to accidental abuse by baloonatics. See ROFL, LOFR, LOL.
