I voted Kefka a while back. That ties it temporarily, I believe.

Nostigia

OH GOD KEFKA IS TERRIFYING
THE OTHER ONE, I VOTE FOR THE OTHER ONE

You son of a bitch. I never learned to read morse. I should really get on that...

But I would have to say that, overall, communication methods should be judged by how convinent, flexable, and empathetic they are. These areas do not have to be mutualy exclucive, but they can be. Like morse. Morse gives almost no empathetic connection, nor is it very convinent. What it does have is extreme flexibility. You can do morse with a great deal of things. Typing, like above, works well. So does the original morse method. A flashlight can be used for morse. Anything that produces a visual or audio effect that can be active and unactive can be used to convey morse code, come to think of it.

And I voted for Kefka.

Wait, what? When did we start talking about judging communication methods? I thought we were originally talking about how emotion is conveyed...

Also, Tack, it's "semaphore".

Wood Blobs give almost no EXP. I certainly can't fish for them, either.

Pictographs aren't all that weird, they were used for a long time, and several languages used writing systems based around pictures. Pictures can carry many meanings though, while writing is much more specific. You can tell when somebody is awed by something rather easily in writing, but not so much in drawings, especially in simple pictograms, though in drawings you can usually tell quite a bit more. You can't really convey ideas such as sarcasm by any means other than speech.
Semaphore is just using flags as letters, though I do agree with shouting and voice distortion. Though voice distortion nowadays is mostly going to be specifically meant to mask the speaker.

Also, you know you're a nerd when you use LotR in a discussion about communication methods.

I meant "weird" as in uncommon nowadays.

Indeed. So, in truth, no other method than speech conveys emotion... (except, of course, in certain cases, like if you were to type "I am sad" - but generally.)

Semaphore is just using flags as letters, though I do agree with shouting and voice distortion. Though voice distortion nowadays is mostly going to be specifically meant to mask the speaker.

It was my understanding that semaphore had a lot of signals, like some flags would mean "help", etc... in this manner it would be much similar to the bonfire alert system that I proposed, in that it would have a limited set of signals that would be for emergency help and stuff, and not be able to convey emotion...

1. Got mixed up with Sophomore. Sorrah.
2. Yeah, Crown. I'm sure there's absolutely No Way to understand sarcasm through text. Not even if someone makes it Completely Obvious, it just can't be done.

[ein]

You're so right, man.
Sarcasm is impossible through text.

[Cheeetar]

I see what you did there.
