A breakdown of how the emote/chat system works in Bo's Bluff, along with an explanation of why it's so important to the game.

Howdy Folks,

Most of you may have overlooked the emote/chat system as a rather small part of the game. BUT ALAS! It is a rather substantial part of the game that adds immersion, builds lore and conveys key information about the game at hand.

The ability to use pre-written chat options and emotes allows players to express themselves, get silly at times, and role-play their character.

AUTO EMOTES - These are emotes that will occur automatically to share specific information about what is occurring in the game. Players do not select these. Most have several options, one of which will be picked at random. Thus it'll take awhile for you to see all the chat options your character is capable of (keeping the game fresher, longer).

SELECTABLE EMOTES - These are emotes/chat options players may select themselves. A key emote here is "Accuse", which is how players will accuse each other of cheating. "Random Banter" randomly selects from a rather large pool of text. A nice thing about this system is that text takes up so little space, we can in theory have thousands of chat options (but we probably won't go overboard). Or we'll be able to switch up the dialogues of each character for special events (like holidays).

Here's a breakdown of how it looks (ps Larry is a demon possessing a llama's body) :
