Because not everyone gets /s and I thought it would be something fun to see.

Do you have a suggestion as to what image should appear?

RE: New Code suggestion
If it's hard to think of a suitable image then whatever is finally decided won't work because no-one will get it.

Preamble definition :-

Witty language used to convey insults or scorn. Saying one thing whilst implying another in ridicule

Response :-

1. The smiley should to indicate two levels of meaning, one innocuous and one barbed, like being tickled under the arm with a feather, but it bleeds.


2. Maybe words with some clever inversion. Here's some :-

Quote:17 Words That Mean Something Totally Different When Spelled Backwards

https://www.buzzfeed.com/kellyoakes/word...dl406MVDp6

I don't mean to use the words on that site, but it's the idea.

3. I know a guy who used to fly his hand over the top of his head like an planner, to indicate that the target of his wit just didn't 'get-it', (the meaning had gone over the other's head).

Maybe these ideas will stimulate, to come up with one or two new smileys.

Best of luck,

Maybe an upside down emoji? I googled emojis for it, but there doesn't seem to actually be a specific one for it. 

I don't know. It was just an idea, really. I'm not artistic so I really don't know what sort of emoji we could use. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of if we did something like we do with the "UNVOTE" tag in Mafia, with the word sarcasm, it could show up in a different color, like red, maybe?

I say, just like the unvote code, we should be able to use a sarcasm code that would show an emoji of some sort or bold the word "sarcasm", whenever we want to convey a sarcastic point.

Oh, that's a BRILLIANT idea.  Honestly, this is the most exciting idea since the microchip. I can't WAIT to see it implemented.  Please, technical people - drop whatever it is you're working on and implement this IMMEDIATELY.  This is what I've been hoping for all of my life...

Actually, it's sorta fun to see people get bent out of shape or say "huh?" when they don't get sarcasm.

I think there should be a code "tvd" meaning The Valkyrie Disapproves. And when it is posted it provides a picture of me looking out of the post with a sneer or intense look on my face!

I think a bloody scalpel will suffice.
