What is the significance of the "Slap" action?

Mainly because I can’t slap myself.:-)

 

I find this to be a major shortcoming in the emote system.

Yea. This is one of those. 

Yup. It began and never stopped till now. 🤣

Disclaimer:To all the people who has /e slapped me and whoever I have /e slapped back in the game(if you manage to guess who I am ingame), please don't think that I am trying to blow up any issues by making this post to ask the question.

 

OP... I think you are wildly overestimating your impact on other players and imagining a level of interaction that just isn't happening.

 

Nobody knows who you are or cares what you're doing. Nobody on this forum "recognizes" you or is interpreting your posts in any meaningful way. It's unlikely that anyone from this board has ever teamed with you.

 

None of this is real or important. None of this can affect you.

For the record, I think the original question does have some validity to it due to the original devs' addition of the teabag emote. It's cute and fancy but seemed like it was an answer to console gamers' ability to crouch down and "teabag" fallen adversaries.

 

I'm pretty sure that was the only hidden meaning emote added to the game, though. Unless you count the inner tube emote as some kind of "discount hemorrhoid donut seat cushion" reference and everyone using it to flag themselves as not being able to sit still for too long by having their character sit still for awhile as they go AFK to stand up and move around for a bit.

Not sure if its still possible but one could setup a set of binds to use slap AND smack in a row.

On live it used to be possible to endlessly rapid chain-slap-smack people 😄

Depends on the following conditions:

 

1) It’s a backhanded slap

2) It’s accompanied by the phrase “Dammit Janet!”

3) I’ve gotten into someone elses personal space (I swear to god, the pets shoved me, it wasn’t of my own doing!)

 

Any of those apply…..well, I’m being reprimanded.

 

Otherwise, it’s an open invitation to ERP.  And depends on if I’m in the mood…..

Yeah. I had an experience like that. Only thing was that I was there first and the other person logged into that spot later. This slap was obviously meant  to be hostile. Really, some people acting like it's their territory that they own. Pfft

TBF, Cap'n Mako's alternate animation for Knockout Blow is pretty much right out of the TOS fight manual.
