Official Petition for New Emoticon
 
Just had to give this a shot since I think this emoticon rocks and can be used in such a variety of places and situation it should not be missing from any forum.

Yay or nay?

AlexFili 03-20-2009 02:33 PM

I'd prefer to see a fuzzle or grey faced emote.

Hobo 03-20-2009 04:40 PM

What the fuck is that? A watchmen smilie?

Nate 03-20-2009 04:45 PM

WTF is it meant to be?

And, yes, I looked at the filename and saw that it was meant to be emo. I don't get why. And, frankly, emo culture and emo-bashing is soooo 2007. Stop living in the past, Havoc.

Havoc 03-20-2009 04:50 PM

It's called emo but it's mostly used as a emoticon that looks to be crying of laughter.

Nate 03-20-2009 05:02 PM

It looks like it's crying blood.

Also, either it's got patches on the corner, or some crappy jpeg artifacts. Either way, not pretty.

Wil 03-20-2009 06:01 PM

I came in expecting a proposal to replace the grey emoticon set we have, and trying to keep open minded about that idea. I don’t like this emoticon. Artifacts aside (they can be cleaned up), this just doesn’t stand out as what it’s meant to, whether that’s emo or tears of laughter. Emoticons should be virtually as easy to read as text, not require some scrutiny.

But I’m not against implementing a ‘crying with laughter’ emoticon if someone wants to find or make a clearer one.

Havoc 03-20-2009 07:36 PM

I guess it looks better in it's native place :). Petition retracted, carry on people.

Bullet Magnet 03-20-2009 09:01 PM

I can make emoticons. Send me specifications.

Pilot 03-20-2009 09:03 PM

Don't you ever get tired of being called BM?

moxco 03-20-2009 09:41 PM

Best emoticon ever:

:hobo:

It cannot be beaten.

AlexFili 03-21-2009 12:38 AM

I like the grey emotes, they look nicer and fit oddworld better. I'd rather see grey emotes than the yellow ones we see everywhere these days.

E'l Scrabino 03-21-2009 03:53 AM

Agreed.

alf's brother's mate 03-21-2009 07:06 AM

Sudo grey emoticons.

ABM

Wings of Fire 03-21-2009 07:08 AM

You mean pseudo, right?

OANST 03-21-2009 07:16 AM

He said sudo and that's what he meant, damn you.

Somebody has never used a unix operating system.

alf's brother's mate 03-21-2009 07:18 AM

No you spoon I meant suuudooo

Pilot 03-21-2009 08:14 AM

Shirley you meant 'sumo' right?

How about we both administer some Unix?

sudo aptitude install owfspambot

I petition that the new smiley be a can of soda. The shortcut for it will be "Number".

It's such a dick move.

Pilot 03-21-2009 11:10 AM

Why, what are you intending to do? Stick your dick into the soda can? That would surely do a number on ya, though I wouldn't want to move it very much while it was in there.

Especially if you did it while peering over a bathroom stall. Right, guys?

Pilot 03-21-2009 11:27 AM

LOL I read that as 'peeing over a bathroom stall'

You so cwazy! The can would inhibit that silly.

OANST 03-21-2009 11:28 AM

I should have foreseen that problem.

Pilot 03-21-2009 11:32 AM

Well... the real problem is the pee pressure would build up to the point to make the soda can go bursting forth off his penis in a fashion a la shaking up a soda can and throwing it.

Can you see it spurting and shooting around in self-propelled circles through the air, getting everything wet?

Wings of Fire 03-21-2009 11:32 AM

You need some way of building up air pressure. The new wave of dick powered can launchers is just beyond the horizon.

EDIT: I can't believe me and Pilot just came to the same conclusion at the same time D:.

Pilot 03-21-2009 11:34 AM

Just pee really hard into it. http://i.fokzine.net/s/emo.gif

Wings of Fire 03-21-2009 11:41 AM

But if your dick didn't have a tight enough fit it'd just overflow.
