Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Smileys

I have nothing against you Toop, I appreciate your efforts and determination, A LOT..
But as time goes on, your smileys are gradually getting worse and worse.

Please, take a look. 05d88a90b15b4fd6baf467e9129d8764.png

4 first rows we have the old smileys (except indian)
Starting from Indian to Fanboy II we have the Mr.Shoe era
From gingerbread man to the end, we have Toop's graphics.

These smileys looks really creative, indeed, no one can deny that. The issue is that they are TOO creative and they don't look like smileys anymore.

I really think we should do some cleaning. I'm sure a lot of you would be sad, but it would certainly play a big role in the renewal of a good Everybody edits: In the reboot perhaps?
We could have a survey to fill with a list of every smileys, and you would have to choose between 3 options on each smiley: Keep, Indifferent, Remove.

Depending on the pourcentages of votes, staff could choose to keep or remove a smiley.

What do you guys think?

Re: Smileys

also remember that TOOP revamped some of the Shoe Era
let's see...
Change the Devil Smiley, it looks more square than an actual smiley, other than that, it's fine. I know that TOOP didn't make this one, but it still needs to change.
I recommend something like this:
jnzub8Y.png
Change the Hazmat Smiley, to me it needs to look more like a smiley.
No smiley deserves to be removed, they're all great, even if they're terrible.
Change the Police and Postman Smiley, they look 'plastic' and have incorrect anti-aliasing.
Recommending these things.

We don't have anything against you (I hope), we're just trying to help.

Re: Smileys

Absolutely agree. Over the years the smileys have become completely inconsistent and random. We often have 4 smileys of basically the same thing, or smileys that really have no reason to be in the game.

A massive liquidation would be greatly appreciated. We don't need 140+ smileys.

Re: Smileys

There are a lot of topics spouting "EE is doomed!". All focus on the numbers, but I also think about how ee is creatively bankrupt. What do we got left? Maybe two more effects and an instrument pack before we run out of ideas? With the current server code I'd assume it's impossible to add any ground-breaking additions such as moving platforms or enemies. It'd probably be easier to make it from scratch. And suppose that the new team does pull through. New blocks are stacked upon a forgettable array of thematic packs that, alone, aren't so bad, but don't resonate well with the rest. Some morph while those that could don't. There's no autotiling for those that could benefit. It's distasteful. I guess it was also inevitable that we'd have to use tabs and a search bar to sift through it all.

Also COME ON THERE ARE LIKE 11 CHRISTMAS SMILEYS. Bruce stays.

Re: Smileys

I find the smileys really good!

I love Toop smileys! //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/big_smile

The opinions of the players are too personal, not because 99% of people don´t use a smiley we should remove that smiley.

Everyone have different tastes, if you disagree with a taste, that is your opinion, the opinion of majority must not have influence in the opinion and tastes of the minority.

Everyone is free to choose freely, EE smileys must represent every player, not only a percentage, moderators don´t want to belittle the minority tastes.

Re: Smileys

I just want to know who changed Laika into a generic 'Dog' smiley. I must've missed it during my hiatus, but that was messed up.

The space pack + Laika smiley was released as a tribute to Laika, the first animal to orbit Earth. It was a really sweet homage, and it bums me out that someone went out of their way to change that.

EDIT: changed "kind've messed up" to "messed up"

Re: Smileys

I feel like smileys like the bee, butterfly, eyeball, and so forth despite being smiley-shaped, don't fit the general style of Everybody Edits.
I can understand that the bee probably has that style because the stripes need to be visible, but does the butterfly need them because it has to be all pretty, or because it's a bug too?
The eyeball ""smiley"" is tricky, it would look stupid with a smiley face, but again, it just feels weird to have it in Everybody Edits.
Also, the clockwork robot looks really off with bright red eyes.

Re: Smileys

I agree, but we should actually just remove all the smilies except for the //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/sad

we all know //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/sad is the superior smiley. No need for anything else.

I also think we should remove all blocks except for the grey basic block

we all know players today have grown fat on their luxuries with their effects and their switches and their portals

back in my day we only had the humble grey basic block and we were grateful that we were lucky enough even to have that!

classic millenials today....

I think that this is a wonderful proposal and that the staff should take this heavily into consideration.

I would also like to see more smiley achievable from contest only! //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/smile

I only appreciate the smileys because I like the weirdness and because I can't do graphics.

Re: Smileys

I don't really like this idea. Sure we have A LOT of bad smileys, but i'd hate for people to vote on which ones stay, and my favourite ones disappear forever and i'm stuck being forced to change smileys. The large amount of (even somewhat terrible) smileys give new players a choice to be different and wear what they want. If we got rid of like 60 smileys, everybody would be wearing the same thing. If you don't like a smiley, don't wear it. Simple as that. No point in taking away from others.

Re: Smileys

Before smileys used to be a normal yellow smiley with an face emotion example - XD, XP, Kissing and others. Some times they had hats ex. bully, commander, builder, santa and the others. In the holidays "events" (classical smileys that you can buy with energy only once) they used to be special like no other smileys ex. ghost, witch, grinch, piligrim or indian and others. Sometimes they were mixed, but they still fit. Then the MrShoe era has begun where they were all mixed and random smiley ideas came like pope, viking, pirate came in. Now TOOP's smileys are random ideas smileys out of the theme ex. hazmat suit, raindrop, eyeball, christmas soldier, fairy, clockwork robot, swamp creature - in 2011 those should've been classics (they don't even have a name for it, seriously?) I'm not saying that TOOP's smileys are bad, but they are completely random. I suggest making "packs" again and somewhere like once a month "3 random smileys" and please put some more work in it so they look like the old ones...

Conclusion - Smileys didn't use to be so fancy, we were happy to see some with a hat on it, and right now they are just different random creatures.

Re: Smileys

honestly i dont see whats wrong with them and imo the circle shape is exactly what makes it a smiley. if it isn't, then what is?

well thats just one point of view
let me add on top of that on the smileys that you highlighted
20428bb007584f8aa70daedacb7f6495.png
to sum that up, the only smileys that imo are really useless and could be removed are the werewolf, the green halloween thing, the gold version of //forums.everybodyedits.com/img/smilies/smile and thats it
even though theres more smiley that i did not cross out, they are still more or less fine despite not being used by people often. i dont think they should be removed completely

Re: Smileys

The updated Smileys after 2015 makes me frustrated. So much was changed unnecessarily. I mean, my profile is centered around 1 Smiley that was perfectly fine, and had no reason to be removed.

Re: Smileys

Or leave those alone and just continue making new smilies. I think they are all ok and shouldn't be changed. I mean it wouldn't be the end of the world if they did change some, but whatever man they're ok how they are.

Re: Smileys

What you're basically saying is because you don't like some "smileys", nobody else should be able to use them. That's like me being on a diet and telling you not to eat cake because i can't eat it. Taking away smileys isn't gonna get people to play EE more. It'll do absolutely nothing but make the people who like those smileys mad and probably quit altogether.
