Posted by: emo samurai Aug 23 2006, 07:29 PM

I've never seen anyone with a "crying" emoticon. I'd like to challenge Adam to make one.

Posted by: craigpierce Aug 23 2006, 07:37 PM

there's no crying in shadowrun!

Posted by: James McMurray Aug 23 2006, 07:46 PM

Oh no, there's tons of crying in Shadowrun. Whether it's PCs or Players (or both) depends on the GM.

Posted by: emo samurai Aug 23 2006, 08:17 PM

I'm the only "Yes" answerer. TEAM UP WITH ME OR DIEEEE!!!

Posted by: FanGirl Aug 23 2006, 09:05 PM

Here I am, continuing my streak of sticking by Emo because he's my friend. Though I do agree with him in this case. I want to see an emoticon for this: ^_^

Posted by: craigpierce Aug 23 2006, 09:18 PM

so far it looks like only the girls on the board want more emotions

Posted by: James McMurray Aug 23 2006, 09:20 PM

Now that's just not right man. Jeez! Fangirl is almost 20, so she qualifies as a woman.

Posted by: LilithTaveril Aug 24 2006, 02:35 AM

I'd like to see one that is :emosamurai

It would be a smiley beating a smaller smiley, dressed as a samurai, with the BBB.

Is that your new passive-aggressive smilie?

Posted by: Adam Aug 24 2006, 04:45 AM

If other people provide them, I'll consider adding a few new smileys, although I'd really like to pare down some of the ones tht are rarely used ... do we really need 3 varieties of a "rolling" smiley? [the entire second-to-last row in the Clickable Smileys dialog ]

rarely gets used, nor does or or or -- chopping them all wouldn't break my heart.

Posted by: SL James Aug 24 2006, 08:12 AM

I wouldn't lose any sleep over fewer smileys.

Posted by: Grinder Aug 24 2006, 01:02 PM

Second that.

Posted by: emo samurai Aug 24 2006, 01:42 PM

Really, would a crying icon really be counted as a smiley?

Ahh, you want to single me out!!! ;-P

Really I use the

on every second post as a post icon and I use

quiet often as well.

gets used seldom because I´m a nice guy but if it´s needed, there´s nothing that can replace it.

and the

are always used together when I use them

But really. I have no problem with fewer smileys, I´d use oldstyle emoticons if I want to. So there would be no (T_T) if some smileys get tossed out.

That's a very passive-aggressive way to call someone passive-aggressive.

Posted by: emo samurai Aug 24 2006, 05:11 PM

You... you didn't use a smilie... The world is totally gone, man.

Posted by: James McMurray Aug 24 2006, 05:24 PM

Sorry. Here you go:

Is that better?

Posted by: emo samurai Aug 24 2006, 05:40 PM

esssss

Posted by: emo samurai Aug 25 2006, 06:11 AM

AAAAAAAAND the conversation ends.

Posted by: James McMurray Aug 25 2006, 03:46 PM

Of course it does. Nobody comes to this forum. I wouldn't have come here except the politeness thread got moved.

Hey, I use

all the time.

Well, only when somebody posts a funny. Which is kind of often.

gets used sometimes, mainly when I'm being snarky.

The rest can get nuked, for all I care.

Er? I've seen both of them relatively frequently. Grinbig is important because it combines biggrin with an element of silliness.

has some overlap with

, but I think it's different enough in meaning to be worth keeping—though I wouldn't be heartbroken if it went away.

That said, as long as we keep

, I can probably deal.

I voted yes, (fuck, I'm voting in an emo poll), because there have been several instances when I would have really been able to use a barfy or pukey smiley.

Posted by: Lindt Oct 5 2006, 06:23 PM

I personally dislike .gif emoticons. Though with the and the ones I could be made to change my mind. The one isnt needed though. Alt 157 works better and matches your text.

¥¥¥

Posted by: emo samurai Oct 5 2006, 07:00 PM

Alt 157?

Posted by: Kagetenshi Oct 5 2006, 07:16 PM

Option-y.

hold down the alt button and on your keypad type 1, 5, 7.

then you get this... ¥

Posted by: emo samurai Oct 5 2006, 08:59 PM

Doesn't work for me. Does the fact that I use wordperfect mean anything?

Depends on which version, what you want to look up is the help on Unicode character support. 157 is the ¥ symbol in unicode.

Though it's more likely you aren't using windows.

Posted by: Kagetenshi Oct 5 2006, 09:32 PM

Actually, it's pretty unlikely that he is not using Windows. Most of the other platforms WordPerfect runs on are archaic, obscure, or sold poorly on.

Posted by: emo samurai Oct 5 2006, 09:34 PM

Don't know what you mean by unicode. I'm computer-illiterate.

And it's WordPerfect 10 on XP.

Posted by: DireRadiant Oct 5 2006, 09:48 PM

Okay, then Wordperfet 10 doesn't support Unicode, but since you are on XP, you should be able to do the ALT + 157 inside the browser.

So you should be able to post here with unicode, but you can't use it in Wordperfect.

Try ¥

Posted by: Tanka Oct 5 2006, 10:24 PM

You can also try Alt+0165 to get it.

Posted by: emo samurai Oct 5 2006, 10:57 PM

Nope, no unicode.
