Keywords are:  'emotes emotions feelings actions emoticon'

Emote allows you to echo something to the room you are in as though you
actually did it.  An example would be:

>emote kicks Dentin solidly in the butt to get rid of lag.

Would send to everyone in the room that can see you:
(Your name here) kicks Dentin solidly in the butt to get rid of lag.

Emoting is most useful for roleplaying, when you need to convey meaning
through body language or actions not covered by socials or simply
talking.
