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 : lol

It's interesting.
. I must have missed the memo, I've usually used *action* like in the old days of usenet.
Indeed, back in the days of Usenet and newsgroups the asterisk was used for emphasis as VDUs didn't have fancy stuff like italic fonts. I'm sure you could find a copy of Emily Postnews' Guide to Netiquette if you dig around a bit :) |

Personally, on the forums I prefer *, mixed with italics when not on my mobile.
In realtime chats I go italics all the way, because /me is stupidly limiting and does not allow for a proper experience with my "make it feel real" technique.

The obvious colon jokes having been exhausted, I don't have a lot to contribute to this conversation except that for a very long time I have used apostrophes to set off words I wanted to italicize if a system lacked the capability.

Fiber. LOTS of fiber.
And coffee. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

its prolly the same as *something* which means Acton
for example *dances across the room and falls off the deck*
you can also use /me which will actually make an action emote in chat. OMG Comet Mining idea!!! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=331766 |

I have a vague memory of colons historically being used for text markup.
That dates back to the serial terminal days though, so my memory is a bit flaky about it.
I do know that _word_ and *word* still works in Thunderbird (e-mail).

I think that I am now a goon in spirit . And you guys are really cool. I think CCP should make this part of the new player tutorial.

English speaking countries seem to stick to /me mostly... Actually people using /me tend to be those that have been emoting in games the past 10 years or so. WoW made the /me command popular, though it wasn't the first MMO to do so. If you go back to the days of yore you'll find there was a time that the /me command simply didn't exist so people used the asterisk * to suggest an emote.
Using /me is hip & trendy! Using * is old skool! Carebear Extraordinaire |

It takes practice.
First, you need to stretch. A lot. Really work on limbering up your back muscles.
After a few weeks, you'll be able to bend over far enough to stick your head up there like an EVE vet, and then you'll be using it properly. "i advice you to go spit on the back of someone else because you are fall on the wrong horse." - Meio Rayliegh |
