The Odd Emote Pack

TL;DR: It's a funny looking emote pack. Just give it a shot. Filesmelt link at the bottom.

The Odd Emote Pack features a few strange speech bubbles to shout out at your enemies. The essential Ladder Emote was left in for practical reasons, but Gold and Fort emotes were replaced by a Check and Cross emote to more easily display your agreement/disapproval.

Skull- Why scare your deceased enemies and rub salt into the wound with a nasty old skull, when you can be pleasantly ironic with love and companionship in cube form? An obviously overdone nod to a well-known franchise, Companion Cube emote will keep your enemies coming back to jump on your blade, just so they can be with their (insert witty descript here) companion once again!

- Exclamation Marks are a fantastic way to show danger or distress in the vicinity, but how about showing your companions exactly what state you want that nearby enemy to be in two seconds? Bloody Shout emote (Now with pearly teeth!) will have your foes thinking twice before attempting to siege your vault, sending them back to their tents with the need for a new "I'm a disgrace" emote.

:)- Smiling is great. I love smiling. But even better, I love smiling with a ten gallon hat. Introducing the Clint Eastwood emote, which allows you to smile with pride those moments when you feel like you just pulled a Clint Eastwood. Did you just steal a bag of enemy gold through hordes of enemies, escaping without a scratch? Well show your peeps you just made out like a bandit, like never before.

;p- Give that nasty knight following you the past half-match a good slip? Mock your enemies with the Green Guy tounge-face emote on the other side of that cozy fortress wall, or stick that supposedly strongest muscle in the human body at your fellow workers when you just have no idea what they're doing to that fancy door you just built

>:(- GRAAAAAAGH Show your RAGE with fire in your eyes with this stereotypical Devil's Fire emote. You've got fire in your eyes. Better put them out with your enemies blood.

D:- Show you're sad/scared while scaring your enemies with Boo The Ghost! This iconic emote will make sure you keep your pride while running in fear from five angry workers, who wish to shove those shovels somewhere else than dirt after you blew up their beautiful fort! Just make sure you're not looking your enemies in the eyes, you pansy.

];- Are you down in the dumps? Did that fall-death glitch get you again? Sure you obviously didn't land on your feet, but don't be afraid to show your Sad Inner Tiger every once in a while! People can feel generally sympathetic to animals, but a sad looking animal is almost too much to bear. Just don't die with it up or PETA will be riding your ass back to your spawn tent.

#- Standard Ladder! Looks beautiful as it is, efficient, and totally necessary. So why change it? Merely outlined with a black box for easier reading!

V - Sometimes you just need to admit to someone they're right. A simple Green Check will get the job done! Nothing fancy, but useful none the less!

X - For those rare times where you're actually right, here's a Red X to tell that fool that he's made a mistake by blocking you under five layers of stone. You silly worker, you.


These are still kind of sloppy, but it's my first shot at something like this. Hopefully someone out there likes it!

Would you know how to directly place an image into the post? RIght now the best I can do is link to a URL

Yeah I figured as much, so I tried to keep the emotes close enough to their counterparts that you'd pretty much be conveying the same message. The exceptions to this are the Boo, which is normally a shouting happy face (close enough), and the originally mentioned tick and cross, which were previously gold and fort respectively. I only drastically changed those two because I don't see many people using them, especially the fort. If anything you could say 'X marks the spot' for gold, if you feel like stretching their representations, haha.

I just thought this would be a fun change of pace every once in a while, and (as unintuitive as this mentality is) assumed players would remember that they're really telling the majority of people 'GOLD!" and "FORT!" instead of tick/cross. :)

Glad you like the tick n' cross! Love the originals too, awesome expressions, and I'm looking forward to your future edits!

 

Thanks a lot, was trying to figure this image thing out for a while and appreciate the compliment!

And no worries, I saw it as a heads up only :p Just wanted to explain further what I replaced too with a reply so not to add to that page stretcher of an original post

 

Might I suggest the Idea of later in the game there being ingame faces that you can chose from? A sort of charecter customization thing. and these would be once that anyone could mix and match, but their opponents would see what they are saying, not what it would have been otherwise.

You could add in things like someone blowing a razzberry :P or a trollface (Problem?) that you could assign to the number keys, so players could mock if they liked.
