Smilies!

[Pil]

I know there are sooooo many smilies and it is just a privilidge (soooo sp?) but i really think there should be one of someone crying! :(

[Bonos-Girl]

awww...why do you want to cry????

[A! Elbereth]

Well, remember when we talked about the saddest parts in LOTR? Well, right about then it could be useful :)

[Illuvatar]

It was about time for an update anyways.....

So here you go my children....

Three new smilies have been added for your enjoyment, they are...

For the sad.....mecry

For the histerical......roflmao

And for the sympathetic......:cuddles:

Have fun and enjoy!!

Illu

PS...The scary rofl guy has been replaced with roflmao.....if anyone realllly liked the old one let me know and I can bring him back as well...

[Bonos-Girl]

thankyou, they are sooo cool. now all we need is that beheading one....

[Illuvatar]

Sorry but there will not be any beheading smilies.

It just looked like a smilie laying on it's back...sorta......

[Catz]

Hey Illu, any chance of getting a fish slap one?......:grin: just wondering.....:cool:
:catz:

[Illuvatar]

Haven't seen one Catz, but I'll keep my eyes out for one.

That maybe something that's particular to our crowd.:cool:

[Catz]

:catz:

[Pil]

[HobbitFriend]

[Fatty]

Great smilie, Illu :thumbs:

[Illuvatar]

Thank you both!!

We aim to please!! hehehe

:cool:

[Pil]

There's one on another forum that my friend was on...it has a smilie poking another smilie with a stick...it's sooo amusing! :thumbs:

[Miruvor]

Illuvatar, it looks like you can never please all of the people all of the time, huh? So the others are now complaining about RED arms on the "huh" smiley. Could they be made less bright? Maybe yellow, or beige, or flesh color? Thanks though, I appreciate your work.
:huh:

[Illuvatar]

Ahhh...yes this is the place...and I will be making them white.......lol

This was my first time at this.......lol

Expect a change soon;)

Illu

[Miruvor]

I hope white is not too shocking, also.
And that we never have to default to a white background.

[Illuvatar]

Nah...should be fine......look at the thumbs smilie above.....and we have many with white....

For example!:duh: :angel: :wiggle: :wave:

[Illuvatar]

Okay....well...the white wasn't shocking, but it didn't look right either! lol

So...here you go....:huh:

Your choices are either red arms or yellow arms....

Let me know.

Illu

[Miruvor]

Oh, how cute. I love it! Thanks a bunch. :thumbs:

[Princess Greenleaf]

What about a smilie smacking another? Cuz sometimes I'd like to do that to certain people...;)

[Illuvatar]

Well....we've got the trout one, and that's basically to slap one with a trout! lol.....

Some of the others, I'm not too keen on..


I will have a look....

[Princess Greenleaf]

well...yeah, but I like the smack too...

[Bonos-Girl]

i have one saved on my computer which is a smilie hitting another with a mallet....very amusing!!!

[Miruvor]

Hi Again. Illuvatar? Is it possible to make the whip on the whipping smilie into a wet noodle? (change whip color to light yellow?)
Is it possible to change the witch to an Orc by making the hat into a helmet and change it's name?

[Illuvatar]

I can try.....:p

I'll let you know mate!

I can probably do the whip easy enough, but the witch thing may bit a bit out of my league! lol

[Catz]

hey Illu......i think we need a drool git.....the fan section is in dire need of one lol lol
so how about this one (http://www.imagemagician.com/images/catz/smilies/as-drool.gif)
im also looking for a good swoon one heheheh, but the drooly guy is cute n'est pas? tho he may need tweaking for size.....
just a thought;)
:catz:

[Miruvor]

Catz, I think he is puking, not drooling! Green is more of a pukey color, don't ya think? roflmao
But we could use that one too, for the CRINGE thread. lol
Why do we not have a simple little red heart? Or a heart that is pounding. I always thought that would be a very useful one and not very hard to make. Easier than this one. :loveyou:

[Catz]

ummmmm its blue actually, not green....oh and i do have an Orc too Illu, but ive not put it onto the host yet......doin a big graphics clean out of the puter lol....ill give you a link when i get it moved, kay?
:catz:

[Illuvatar]

Okidoki.....I'll look at these and looking forward to the Orc one as well......

Thanks

[Catz]

k, heres the orc (http://www.imagemagician.com/images/catz/smilies/war3_orc.gif)
now that ive transferred over all (well...most.....)of my gits i find that ive got around 258 of the beggars :elfeek:...now some just wouldnt be suitable for here but a lot would, so if you want to take a look Illu just let me know and ill PM you the details
:catz:

[Illuvatar]

Yea....sure thing.....

Let's me have a peeksey!! lol

[Illuvatar]

Okay.....here.....

For all you fan-girls:drool:

And Orc...here's one for you as well.....

May I present.......:Orc:

[A! Elbereth]

YAY!!!! THE DROOL SMILEY IS HERE!!!:grin:

[Miruvor]

Thanks Orc. Come around with that again sometime when I am snoozing at my computer!
:snooze: :trout:

[Lurtz]

you guys need to get a little uruk hi slapping someone lol then my life would be complete.... ha ha ha

[Catz]

im looking , im looking.....i do have a little pycho guy lol lol
:catz:

[Lurtz]

ha ha ha ha ha lol lol lol

[Tar-Ancalimë]

:drool: <-- hey Illu! why don't you, like, enlarge this one a little?

It looks just a tad out of place among the others.

but :grin: don't mistake me I love it! l think l use it too often. lol

[Illuvatar]

Okay...

I noticed it was kinda small.....lol

I'll see what I can do!

[Lurtz]

catz, how is the uruk trout coming? and if you guys want a cow smilie, i can email catz or illu one...

[Catz]

still looking mate...ill letcha know if i find something......heheh best talk to Illu about that lol
:catz:

[Bonos-Girl]

we should have an eagle smilie......or a beating heart......or both!!!

[Illuvatar]

Okay folks...

Let's please not get carried away okay?

I've gotten most of the standard ones, and the new additions I'm trying really hard to keep them Tolkienish, hence the Orc guy.

I'm also trying to put in ones that I think would be apprapoe, like Mr. Drool, he worked cause we have sooooo many drooling fan-girls and boys...hehe

But cows, etc?

I'm not too keen on building a farm...hehe

Plus images like smiles chew up bandwidth and slow things down a bit......

Sound good?

[Orc]

So, what's this you got against cows? Are you saying you don't like cows? 'cuz that's where cheese curds come from, and I know how much you like them......

Though I do like the Uruk-trout one.....

I'm sure that are probably a couple of smiles that we already have that aren't used very often that can get bumped to make room

:Orc:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

yeah pleez chack out which is the least used smilie... in Prancing Pony

[Wilwarin]

We need a trout bashing an orc. That would be used a lot in Orli's Army!

[Lurtz]

no fair! if he picks either of ours, the uruk troutting smilie comes first, b/c i said it first! lol ha ha ha i would laugh if he even acknowledges our requests...

[Wilwarin]

I saw your post! But if you get one, then we got one too! Or else none of us get one! It's only fair that way. pfbbt


What do you say Illu? :thumbs:

[Illuvatar]

Well..what I say is................

I'm creative folks....but not THAT creative!! lol

My skills are limited to modifying existing animated gifs, like changeing the colour of something, or cleaning it up etc.

But, as far as actually creating a brand new one....

Well, that's beyond me folks......

I'm sorry...mecry

However if any of you skilled peoples can come up with appropriate animated gifs to use, I will put it to the staff to see whether or not they should be incorperated or not.

Please bear in mind, that we are close to the limit as far as these go. Running animation like this chews up resources and can impact the performance of the forums in general.

[Bonos-Girl]

yeah...we wouldn't want it to take forever to load would we?
i'm on another forum and their selection of smilies is brilliant but it takes forever to load each page....soooo annoying!!!

[Bonos-Girl]

sorry to double post but i was just wonderimg if you'd be interested in a drun smilie for the prancing pony...or a human combustion one.....or a crazy one.....etc...etc....etc.....

[Arwen Elf]

Do you know if you could do a stereotypical nerd/geek/dork smilie, you know, for when you fel really stupid for liking or saying something that is normally considered "weird"? Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
A. E.

[Tar-Ancalimë]

try a grin.... :grin: thats what i use anyway

[Elrenia]

How about a Pinnochio one for lies ???? Could be fun no ? Nose growing...

but again it is just a suggestion :grin: :grin:

[Wilwarin]

That would be funny!

[Lady Ashley]

How about other ring-smilies? Galandriel and her Ring are a smiley...how about Nenya and Vilya?

[Isiltári]

I'd like to have one that looks snotty........like sort of "Hmmph!" You know.....eyes closed, nose in the air....lol.

[Bonos-Girl]

that would be REALLY cool!!!! lol

[Iarfirithwen]

Alright I mentioned this in one of the other forums and Ithielnor suggested I come here. I am sooooo excited by the prospect of seeing TTT (every little bit of it - especially the SEE-DVD next year - OMG thats 12 months away!) that I could explode. So how about an EXPLODING SMILEY! Because I'm finding it hard to keep all my excitement in check.
[By the way I absolutely adore :cuddles:]

Iarfirithwen

[Iarfirithwen]

Don't get me wrong here, but the pinnochio one could look very ... well non-PG rated shall we say if wasn't done right ;) :blush: if its'nose' was growing for lies.

[Bonos-Girl]

hmm....i can't see that happening somehow!!!!

i think that the exploding one's avery good idea!!

[Iarfirithwen]

exploding smiley
screaming smiley
smiley falling off chair while laughing lol
lip-smack'n smiley
Xmas Smiley
hit-self-on-forehead smiley
dreaming smiley

Okay, sorry Illuv I got carried away.

Just exploding smiley would do nicely :grin:

[Illuvatar]

Okay all.....

I will loook into these and see what I can come up with! ;)

[Lady of Rohan]

... your smilie selection here at WotR is fantastic and does not need to be augmented in any way! :thumbs:

i love the smilies here... :grin: they make me veryhappy :) lol

go smilies :gofatty:

lol

[Iarfirithwen]

Yes the smilies here are excellent. I think I had too much caffeine this morning and that combined with a really bad cold/flu thing doesn't make for the best... well I was probably just a little hyper shall we say. I was probably going a bit overboard being facetious to get a response from Illuv.
So Illuv, you don't have to look into them I was being silly really. I think you probably have much better things to be doing :grin:

And Illuv to make up for it, and just this once mind :nono:, I'm going to sign off as
Larfirithwen :grin: ( well he should get it )

*slinks back to bed with hankies, tissues and several blankets & doonas and doesn't believe the person who just tried to tell her its 25C outside*:snooze:

[Arwen Elf]

So, I didn't really feel like going through this thing, so I don't know if anyone posted this before, but could there be a Gandalf/wizard smilie? That would be the epitome of cool!!!

[Pil]

I'm thinking....a christmas smilie....just for the season....you know how my life must include as much festive fun as is possible! :) Pleeeeeeeease! :p

[Iarfirithwen]

Gandalf with a red hat Pil? lol

[Bonos-Girl]

yeah!!! kinda like a cross between santa and gandalf!!!
