I am in my 30's, and I remember a time where gamers communicated without words.
For example I played a game called James Bond Nightfire Multiplayer (pc) a first person shooter, and when you would stand with your face to the corner, it meant you were AFK and nobody would dare touch you.

Then when I later played Halo 2 and 3, people would teabag the ground to show they were friendly, and other players would respect it, mostly. (of course teabagging a body is not friendly at all)

• staring into a corner = AFK/do not kill
• crouch spam / teabagging the ground = peace or friendliness
• spinning in circles = non-hostile
• firing into the air = ceasefire/challenge
• dropping weapons/items = trust

I sometimes feel like this code of ours is getting lost ...
