Emitting, technically, is when you use the command @emit to start a text with something other than your name in RP. For example, typing @emit With a sigh, Aerrin sits. will show up in the room as With a sigh, Aerrin sits. This is used in many ways. One is what I just showed you - to start your pose with something other than your name, just for variety and readability. Related to that would be something like "I've never seen him before," Aerrin states suspiciously. Here, you're starting your pose with dialouge - again, just for variety. The other main use of emitting is to create people who aren't really there. Maybe you need a doctor but there's not one online - you can emit an NPC, basically roleplaying the doctor and your character at the same time. Because of this ability, you can also do what's called spoofing. That's when you emit an action and attribute it to someone else - a /big/ nono. So don't go around emitting Aerrin does a boogie. I might not like it.*See Spoofing, NPC
