He offers to tell you your fortune. But you're already two hundred paces down the street by the time you hear him.

If you're going to deliberately emote that you notice someone as you pass by in the hopes of catching someone who is not asleep at the keyboard, great. But don't expect any kind of batting average with that if you curtly walk off five seconds after mashing your Enter key. ;)

If you see someone talk like that, and intend to respond, pressing the D or A button (as appropriate) lets them know you're there and intend to respond.

Yep, just a slight shift of the direction your character is facing shows that someone is indeed home and that a response is forthcoming.

Making a post to voice every frustration about Amia is pretty welll. . . .frustrating.

It's an RP-tease. You get just enough to think someone will roleplay, and then they preclude that possibility by walking faster than you can type. When it happens enough times, you start ignoring the bait.

And another thing. The more words that you add to an RP-with-me emote, the more chance you have of sparking some interest. Three is just not enough. If you use more wordy emotes you run the risk of wasting fifteen words on someone who doesn't respond, but there's more where they came from. Sometimes I feel that I'm getting the equivalent of ration packs slung in my face.

I'm not voicing a frustration. I make a suggestion in your general vicinity. ;) You can tell by the lack of tongue-sticky-outies.
