Speaking in Smilies

[-Jrabbit]

I love the idea of communication through pictograms -- our world's version of hieroglyphs. Recent additions to our on-site library allow us to get beyond the simple " " and " " comments we all use.

In a recent Civ2 succession game, the conversation included a Bloody Monk post re a new plan of attack. I posted the following response:

--> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> -->

Rough translation: "Your idea is naughty, perhaps even evil. I like that! Do it now and we'll be very happy. Then we can party until we're buzzed, but good. Then we'll sleep it off."

So what's the most complex (yet understandable) all-smilie message you've ever posted?

Never tried it? Start now! (Limited to the on-Poly library)

Well, that was predictable...

I've once talked with emoticons with GW over MSN, but really, it didn't last for long as more complicated StP issues couldn't be discussed, so we changed back to normal written words. But the idea is still nice, IMO.

Not surprising. I don't understand most stuff by most poets.

How about JR was so he to get some frustration out but the in his pants went;
Beside doing himself was kinda like and quite. So he made this thread which made the mods over whether or not to him. So they and decided because this plainly gives BW the chance to even more!

Nice alternate use of the BW -- though I gather I should be insulted (or perhaps embarrassed) at your insinuation. (I'll admit to )

Skanky, jammin' with smilies.
