Bookwyrm, these smilies are excellent!  Although I'm not so sure about your sarcasm emotion. It seems like it conveys something else... |

Of course, perhaps they're not up to other people's expectations. Would anyone like me to send them these emoticons for review?
Well met
Many apologies, Bookwyrm. I indeed intended to contact you regarding this matter but it has been busy within the library of late due to the pending new material due to appear later today.
I judged that maybe a number of the smilies you send would be misinterpreted by some scribes. However, I will replace exsiting ones or add new ones to the list to see how they are received. |

I don't quite know what you mean by misinterperate, but it seems Shadowlord found the same problem with my entry for a "sarcastic" emoticon.
Perhaps you both could explain this to me in greater detail? |

| Well, I thought the sarcasm smiley should convey something else, since looking towards the upper left hand corner doesn't generally mean sarcasm (or at least that's my interpretation). I would say it might be another emotion, but I can't place my finger on the name right now... |

Hmm. Well, when I make a "sarcastic" face, I don't generally roll my eyes. I look up and right, usually. That's why I did that; I simply assumed that was what most people did, having never tried to find a basic "sarcasm" expression.
I also often give a smirk, so  can, for me, show "amused sarcasm." |

Yes, true, but (ah ha! I finally found words for my feelings  ) your smiley seems to convey a sense of "displeased sarcasm". I much prefer an "amused sarcasm". Mayhaps if you changed the mouth's positioning? |

| Good point. I've just sent you a new one, with two pixels having changed color. See how that does for you. |

Much better. I'm glad I finally discovered how to say what I meant. It made a great improvement to your smiley. And to think, such a drastic appearance change occurred just because of two pixels...  I say, you should submit them to Alaundo now. They look fine to me. |

| I'll do that. Though I'll have to drop out my "thinking" one for now -- it looks too close to "sarcasm." Still, I just did it to get an even four. |

| Yes, but I thought the name "thinking" didn't imply happiness, but a period of intense thought. Well, that's my opinion, anyway. |

No, it's just it looked like the reverse of the sarcasm. It also didn't look like "thinking" to me anymore. So I've switched it for an "exasperated" look: -_-
I've a feeling we'll be using both when refering to WotC. |

| Heh, no arguments there, Bookwyrm. I'd love to see the "Exasperated" smiley as well. |
