I dunno about this one. 2048 character emotes, for what exactly?

There are good reasons for having a message limit, and I don't know that having huge-large emote length is a good thing, either. Text already takes a while to render when you're speaking large sections of it.

The default SS13 message limit is 2056, and CM back in it's hayday ran fine with the default limits in play. I've noticed whenever you play on a server with a character limit higher than the default is when things start to chug, and that's generally on servers hosting more than 20 people at a time on top of extending the character limit with some spaghetti code so the game doesn't have a stroke. Plus we have green shift and having your message cut off because of a limit as comically low as 256 is just bad for practice and stifles certain avenues of RP. Maybe I left CM and changed, but some great stories came out of CM back in 2014/15 because of said character limit. Albeit rare, it was always fun to see

And I wanna spite Aero and Columbo post (4k character me;) just to make them angy.

256 characters for an emote length is pretty low. 2048 was a random, arbitrary number I picked. I can put it at par w/ say, if that's better for you. I don't really mind- I'm probably just an outlier, but I have actually genuinely had my emotes cut off.

^ This is above the emote limit, by the way

To add on; in most normal rounds, it doesn't matter. In greenshifts, it hurts a lil, and I think (iirc) it has happened to people other than just me.

I think a limit of 2k is good, but that is just my dumb ass, and it is bellow the default cap as it is. Dare we spaghetti code a 4k character limit?

1024 is more than enough, let's leave it there. It is one of my stronger opinions that RP should be back and forth rather than thrust upon someone else and responding sentence by sentence makes it easier to engage in a back and forth rather than paragraphing at each other awkwardly (which I find to be unrealistic but maybe that's just because I'm ADHD and can't stand conversations that slow).

nah this is also true

one of my biggest pet peeves on ss13 is someone dropping 5 paragraphs on me at once as i stand there awkwardly staring lmao
