DF_smileys?

Why not?
I propose using dwarf-glyphs for smileys around here.

Surely hardcore DF smileys are simply different coloured letters?

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Assuming that by using dwarf-glyphs as emoticons you mean using the in-game graphics, we'd first have to select one particular tileset as the standard.  I can see that being problematic.

Also, Angry Lawyer, your avatar?  The first PC game I ever played (barring a 5-minute stint in U5 where I couldn't even open a door -- 5 year olds don't need no stinking manuals).

The standard grafix as a start,
but maybe with polls and competition for those extra dwarfy emoticons like 'throwing tantrum' and 'hammered!'

What standard graphics?  The game ships with two distinct styles:  bearded and ☺.

Bearded version is more distinctive. I'd use those.

Also, Lostereadamy is :awesome:

I prefer the nonbearded version because it makes it even HARDER to differentiate between male and female dwarves.


That said, for forum emoticons I could totally see both being added.

I submit that we develop a set of modified dwarves as emoticons, much like my avatar in style, but less awesome so that mine still reigns supreme.

I support this idea, so long as someone with experience with SMF tells Toady to set them up after they've been drawn. We don't want him to be distracted from programming!

I made (okay, someone else made them, but they were too big until I resized them) a bunch of these a while back when avatars were introduced to the forums. They aren't the right color, for some reason, but they'll work.

Name a size and I'll shrink them.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

(images)
The current smileys are 15x15, so something around that size would work. Though, just having different colors wouldn't work very well. You'd need different emotions on their faces, which will probably have to be added on in a comical, not-quite-fitting-in method, such as with Reasonableman's avatar.
