Many of the emotes are different depending on the gender and primary class of the character emoting.

Male Warrior - Vincent Vega's dance from Pulp Fiction.
Female Warrior - Mia Wallace's dance from Pulp Fiction.
Female Necro - Zombie dance from Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Male Elementalist - The Elaine dance from Seinfeld.

I got it from sitting around for 36 hours once a month. Just trial and error, which is why I'm sure I've missed some.

When I discover new ones myself I'll insert them into my original list and add them to the bottom next to the "EDIT" so you know they are new.

Another note about the dances: the Mesmers do very nice matching Irish Step Dances, a la Lord of the Dance.

Can anyone identify the source of the "hula stripper" dance shimmied by the female Elementalist?

Yeah, we reached 50 emotes!

Turns out that /paper had 2 other emotes associated with it: /rock and /scissors

You can use them to play a game!

EDIT: 51 /fame (as soon as I get 3 fame I'll post what it does)

EDIT: 52 /rank (seems /fame and /rank both check rank, I submitted a bug report)

420 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 15, 2005, 07:33:21 PM »

Up to 53 (sorta) /yawn was discoved by Celestial1 only a couple minutes into his first time playing GW! (Hmm, that doesn't seem lie a good sign does it)

Unfortunatly the /chest emote no longer does the "chest bump". There may be a different word for it now so if anyone has some ideas test them out!

Celestial1 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 15, 2005, 09:16:25 PM »

Lol, I guessed it... we were waiting around at some point... heh, the game rocks though (That tower was AMAZING!!!)

I list some of the dances in the first post, I would call the necro male's dance a "headbanging slam dance" or a "mosh". Is that the proper way to use the word mosh? Can I say a "mosh dance"? I obviously have very limited experience with concert environments. Mostly I spend most of my time a concerts threatening drunk teenagers.

Fighting Routine Dance? O.o And here was me, thinking it was just a show of acrobatics...

Celestial1 · « **Reply #23 on:** April 21, 2005, 01:09:54 PM »

(If I remember correctly...) Both the male and female do spinning kicks, or at least the jump for one, overextended-tension versions of palm heels, and other fighting moves while they do "acrobatics."

I don't take karate for nuthin', man.

I believe it is called a "Celtic Jig", gotta be acurate on that if we're gonna be Culann's Hounds.

I'm not up-to-date on tapdancing.

Throbblefoot · « **Reply #26 on:** April 22, 2005, 03:23:06 AM »

I think, if we're to be fair, the average bear mght call it "clog dancing" but the real fanatics call it Irish Dancing: http://www.trinity-dancers.com/

Spooky.

Oh, and this about Irish dancing and tap dance:
"Even the Irish clog dance wasn't much to rave about until Blacks took it over and turned into something called tap dancing, which became a whole tradition." - Jamake Highwater
