Smileys allowed in game chat

[kerntheconkerer]

but it would make game chat more interesting and fun.
and if we have turn on/off option then theres no problemo.



gr8 idea

It's a good idea, I don't think it would slow it down very much, but that's why there should be an ON/OFF switch.

Maybe the slowing down and text formatting problems could be solved if smaller, round smiles were used (no bigger than the text) similar to cboxes.

Also maybe nonanimated would be easier.

<-Obligatory smily.

well if its not going to be like this chat, then i don't see why not, bring in the smileys

P.S. Slow down with them, its annoying to read the thread.

Oh, I'm sorry...
Just a little joke that's going on

If this goes to plan you would be able to turn them off, mostly for that reason

This thread is testament to the reason that this suggestion should not be implemented.

OK guys, when I said to make every message in smiley form, I was just kidding. Perhaps it would be better not to annoy the mods into submission with our comments

So you may all commence with full English messages now.

Sorry about that

As I said : it's just a little laugh that went a little too far...

An ON/OFF button should be available for those who don't wish to be spammed in this way.

Let's face it : there's plenty of spam in our games at the moment, smileys wouldn't make much difference; and perhaps the button would make them invisible ??

Must...refrain...from...using...smileys...to...reply...

[ManBungalow]

Do we have any more serious thoughts to this idea??

Not good enough for ya?

Well I'd like to have the eye rolling smiley sometimes. Certain players inspire that smiley...I was literally just in a game where I wished I had some emoticons to non-verbally express to one of my opponents what an idiot I thought he was. The benefit is that the point gets across and I don't have to worry about any misspells

I get that all of the time lol

And there's something satisfying about putting those yellow blobs in a message

Oh, and I never could work out what XD or x: meant...

[hecter]

XD would be like laughing, you find something funny and such... x: is just , some people like to do their emoticons backwards ( like (: ): )': ect.).

[ManBungalow]

We need more votes for an accurate poll !

In other words - bump

[n00blet]

smiley on/off button FTW

[GrimReaper.]

the thing that will be a problem is the spamming and abuse of the smiles.

[n00blet]

Not with an On/Off button. If someone doesn't want to see smileys, their button will make it so they can't see them.

Very true. It's also a good sarcasm smiley which I'm in desperate need of in my game chats. Nothing worse when you tell your opponent "wow, you are so good." and they actually think you mean it.

[Downey]

This is a good idea.
Sometimes emoticons express what words can't...
