Thought Verb - Sawrock - 04-21-2018

Can we have a verb, similar to Say, Emote, LOOC, etcetera that is used for one's thoughts? Many people roleplay their thoughts, but some others (such as myself) experience such roleplay as interruptions to roleplay. For me personally, it breaks me out of character and instead puts me into the position of a reader, as opposed to an actor invested in a role.

Thought (or think) would always appear in the "talk" tab, but it would have a toggle to appear in the "all" tab.

I, personally, think that roleplaying thoughts is bad form and shouldn't be done. There is no way to react to them that isn't metagame, so it's pointless masturbatory writing.

I'm more in the realm of mind that Sawrock is (crappy pun intended).

I mean, if it comes with three options of toggling, it can satisfy everyone at once:

- Off: This is ignored, you can't read what you think, or others think.
- Dynamic: You can read your own thoughts, but others come as "X seems thoughtful for a second." Like when you're deaf and an emote replaces your words.
- On: Self-explanatory.

I agree with Megablues in the sense that it isn't really necessary or possible to react to.
