So, we're agreed? Smiley counters are this minute being installed by the techno minions in the sub basement?

What do you believe this smilie adds above and beyond ("beyond the animation")?

[ZEE]

YES!!

It adds little. As do more than half of our current smilies. What do we need useless smilies we never use, like the new bts, civ4, great person as such smilies? None will ever use them, and rightly so. If I want to discuss great persons in civ, I hardly will use my time on looking for and using smilies like that. Why would I want to write a sentence like "The system in is well enough, but I still miss some of 's elegance."?

I suggest a counter be inserted into the link for each smiley. That way we can determine which ones can be done away with. You know, take out the trash.

The Viking sucks. NO ONE uses it.

QFT! Instead of those silly ones, we need:
-frog
-vomit
-better crying
smilies

DQ, you're right not to let our techno minions near this, it's too important. As LS suggested, Sub continent the work out.

No, those smilies aren't great in that context. However, they can be useful when making strategy posts that, for example, list the effects of various stuff or discuss advantages. Writing something like:

Great Wall: prevents Barbarian entry; +2

or, "so at this point, my capital was: 35 , +8 and 21 "

These things are better, can make for some convenient reading, given that they make posts similar to how the info actually appears in the game.

Or something like "Today I WTF (went to France). I ate a :frog:, and then had to go :vomit:. I felt like :better crying:"
