Hello.
This is a compilation of the most common gestures you might see me do in-game. This list pretty much covers most of what I do, but that's not to say this won't be edited at some point.
Gestures and Their Meanings
- Bow + Headtilt = Usual greeting / Hello. / How are you?
- Nuzzle = Greeting to close friends / Love you lots! / I've missed you...
- Headtilt = Questioning / You okay? / What's up?
- Rear + Nod = Excitment
- Taunt = Annoyance / Knock it off! / You're annoying me.
- Taunt + Nod = Range of things / Yeah, that's right! / Ah! I like that!
- Nuzzle + Taunt (Or any "anger" emote in general) = Flirting / Hardly serious; just playing around * Done only to close friends
- Standing up + Staring (When sitting down) = Sizing up / Intimidation / What do you want? / Don't even think about it.
- Staring in general = Watching something / Sizing up / Intimidation
- Sniffing + Headtilt = Inspection / Do I know you? / What's this?
- Shock + Taunt = Usually done in play; mock anger / Hey there now! / Oh, why you!
- Pawing ground + Headtilt = Wanna sit? / May I sit here?
- Pawing ground + Moving off = Follow me!
- Pawing ground + Nod = We'll sit here. / Chill with us for a bit!
- Sad + Bow (+ Nuzzle, with friends) = I have to go...
- Any emote + Laughing = Playing around, having fun
- Standing over someone = I'll protect you. / Mien >8(
- Sitting/Standing under someone = I feel safe with you.
- Nodding + Head shake + Quick listen = Grooming * Ultimate gesture of affection; done only to close friends
- Placing head over shoulders, rear (Or head, when other deer is sitting down) = Affection and comfort / I love you. / I'll keep you safe. / Don't worry, I'm here for you... * Done only to close friends
Extra Notes
- I, being a butthead, tend to be one of those that won't bow unless I'm bowed to. If I am not bowed to, I will sniff instead as a greeting.
- If I'm doing something in-game, and I suddenly stop, it's most likely because I am IMing someone.
- Proximity is a touchy matter for me. Generally, I don't mind strangers sitting with me, provided that they don't activate my friendship circle. I am very touchy about a stranger activating it, and if it is, I will move away.
- When I am attempting to do the Mini pelt glitch, I will not stop for anyone, or greet anyone until after I complete the glitch. It's nothing against you, I just don't like being naked 8c If you want to say hi to me, or play with me afterwards, just follow me, and let me complete the glitch.
- There are times where I might show that I am annoyed or angry without taunting. If I turn away from you so that my back is facing you, and I sit down, that shows disappointment, anger, annoyance just as much. It's basically a way of cold shouldering someone.
