I noticed most people in EVE speak with colons around the most random words and its TOO funny. I want to know how they do it.
For instance this dude was in local and he was like :smith: HAHAHAHA I bet he meant the guy from Men in Black haha, that movie is hilarious. Will Smith is a great actor. Or maybe he meant Smith from the Matrix LOL, I love that guy. Matrix is a classic movie
So :question:
How do I use colons like EVE veterans and everyone else in :EVE: , or just generally be really cool and hip in EVE
LOL XP : P : |

Your next question could then be how to use ~tildes~ correctly, that one is also fascinating. And with that accomplished, perhaps that many uses literally in place of figuratively.
EVE lingo is a weird and wonderful thing, you could lose your sanity if you dig too deep. |

I've noticed this first from people from NZ.
It's interesting.
Specifically german speaking people or maybe even western europeans in general tend to use *action* ... actually that seemed to originate from german speaking countries, when I recall this correctly.
English speaking countries seem to stick to /me mostly.
Nowadays it's all mixed up mostly, but in general I can say that *action* hints at german speaking people and /me hints at english speaking ones.
Seriously interesting topic. Quote miiral: 'umm, looks like your "busy" ;)' :3 <---- means you have balls hanging from your nose (: :) |

I'm English and on the rare occasions I RP a character I use * action * unless there's an emote that covers it, then /command (emote). |

I think it might be a Twitch thing. :kappa: is a Twitch chat emote, and people started using it outside of Twitch even though it obviously doesn't work, and then they just started using other words instead. |

Remi, because of your post I finally googled what 420 means. So many things just got clearer. Invalid signature format |
