Action-y thingy of choice?
*uses asterisk*
I think asterisk is more popular, but I know people that use other things.

Re: Action-y thingy of choice?
I usually use brackets of some sort, cause for me, asterisks are more of an emphasis on a word.

Asterisks usually, though I generally take the "when in Rome" path and use whatever the norm for the forum/board is.

"Oh, better far to live and die/Under the brave black flag I fly/Than play a sanctimonious part/With a pirate head and a pirate heart."

Re: Action-y thingy of choice?
I kinda rotate. You never know which one I'll use next.
*thinks*
But asterisks seem to be my main one.

Re: Action-y thingy of choice?
I use asterisks. I like double colons, though.

Re: Action-y thingy of choice?
I use the asterisk mostly as well.
Although I do use a hyphen when I'm going off on a tangent.
I use hyphens a lot.

Re: Action-y thingy of choice?
I use asterisks for what I'm doing (.e.g *Combusken goes to a Starbucks, orders a coffee and pays for the coffee then sits down on a chair and drinks the coffee*)
((I use these if I an talking to someone during a roleplay but don't want to be it actioned towards the roleplay)) (double colons)
I only use captians when I'm shouting at someone but I have never got into an arguement during a roleplay so I've never had to use them.

Re: Action-y thingy of choice?
I used to use asterisks for actions - I probably still would, but I've tried to learn how to convey my message through other means.
Occasionally, I fail, but... *shrugs*
I think the only action capslock really works for is SHOUTING.

I use asterisks for actions.
