by Sentiel Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:21 pmI had an interesting conversation with my friends about the meaning of the 
gesture and it made me wonder how people view different gestures and what meanings they asociate with each of them.
Showing respect to my opponent in duel, before and after the fight.
Pleased to meet you gesture. Used when greeting host as a phantom.
Waving a farewell upon parting, or to gain ones attention to me.
Victory! Perfect after beating a difficult boss.
Happiness. Celebrating something nice, or funny. Also, showing approval when someone does something correctly. Of course, also used for victory.
Whatever. I mostly use this when something goes wrong, or to show disagreement.
Come at me bro! Or opening my arms to welcome a friend. I never saw any malice, or taunting in this gesture unless I was told that people use it with those intentions.
Aplogozing for doing something bad, or unwanted.
Come here! I mostly use this to make the person come to me, or to stop goofing around.
Showing direction, but can also be used as sign for victory.
Showing direction. Perhaps can be used to choose an opponent, like "You're next!"
Asking/ordering someone to wait. Trying to show a dropped item. I can see some taunting in doing this after a fight, over someone's dead body. This is the only gesture that if done after a fight ticks me off a bit.
Repeated use of this can be viewed as a t-bag, other than that I really don't see any meaning to it. Could be used to make someone think you're casting a Miracle?
Facepalm, for situations when epic fail is all over the screen.
Sunbros for life! Although popular, I really don't see any meaning to it. I sometimes do it randomly, just for fun though.
There other two, that aren't exactly gestures. The animation your character does when it's unable to cast a spell and unable to use an item.
No Spell :arrow: Showing embarrassment.
No Item :arrow: Showing anger. I mostly use this when Summoning failed message pops up.
Is the way I translate gestures wrong from the general meaning they have for Dark Souls community?
What meanings do you give to each gesture?

I always figure this to be "was this all you've got?" you kind of shake your head at the end.
I always bow after a fight, there must always be a gentleman even if the other is not. Unless I am in the painted world then I use this 
to show my administrator power to welcome you to a cold hell. Expect this
when something pisses me off.
gesture to indicate the host should summon another phantom at the certain spot.
I know it can be kinda slow, but I used to use my keyboard for that all the time. =/
