• Those wishing to contribute to the game by making suggestions (both small and large) should read the following before doing so.

    Bushtarion largely runs completely automatically, and has been designed intentionally to be as self-maintaining as possible, with mechanics and balance considered at a completed point.

    Please do not spend large amounts of time coming up with complex suggestions in the hope that they will be read and possibly implemented in the future, unless you just enjoy the discussion, theory-craft, and such.

    The most likely changes will be rules-changes, specific number-tweaks to units, techs, and similar sorts of changes, and only if a large community consensus is reached as "proof" that a change would, overall, be an improvement, and are more likely to be done in batches, occassionally, not as a regular thing.

The following errors occurred with your submission:
  1. You have included 9 images in your message. You are limited to using 4 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

    Images include use of smilies, the BB code tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator[/B][/COLOR]
    [/LIST][COLOR=black]Is there anyway we can remove smilies from that list? or are they really that bulky.[/COLOR]

    I remember we used to have whole conversations in smileys -=P

That's pretty awesome actually, didn't know about that. Posts with a hundred smileys shotgunned all over it kinda made my eyes bleed and my brain sad anyway.

So yeah, I disagree. A post with nothing but smileys in is spam in a can anyway.

To be fair, yes a post with all smileys would be deleted from most forums as Spam . However we do have the spam forum and some more personal threads like Hello/goodbye where words don't say enough =P

That whole saying about a picture speaking a thousand words doesn't really apply to smileys in my book :(

I've increased the limit to 25, that should cover more than the average post!

Hmmm, is it not possibe to just change the smiley limit? Cause 25 large pics can really mess things up...kinda makes the limit pointless

true but seriously If anyone was to do that outside of a spam thread of the funny pics type I think they would have earned their ban.

Ohh I dont think that many people remembers that pos of DarkGods about Dutchies.
It was hilarious.

Actually, I do remember that post. I was pretty good I admit. But that's pretty much the only exception I can think of. But DarKGoD was always awesome anyway.

To be honest I don't think we need such limits at all, we have mods for a reason.

If it is spam and not in the spam section then delete it. Sometimes there are useful ways of using a lot of smileys without them being spam.

I remember someone once create something connected to BlackWofl and his ViruS using smileys (an evil vampire smiley surrounded by loyal smileys or something like that) and it was quite original. Just a small example of how a lot of smileys can be used about something else than spam.
