Over the head emoticons on certain emotes

[Sundance]

I really really like this idea, honestly don't see peoples problem with this? Something a bit more substantial than "I don't like this" or "It doesn't fit the game"..

I understand Ed's concern that it would need to be minimal so that it doesn't distract from the text box. If anything, the use of the overhead emoji's should encourage players to review the textbox. When you have for example, a shuttle full of people, the textbox itself becomes fairly useless between screaming, farting and people hitting anything and everything.

So for example when someone current speaks it shows as this. This already occurs.
However someone with a ! at the end of their sentence it would appear like this!
As is someone asking a question?

The fire, bomb, cash, gun, health.. I would fear those would be too shorthand and fall into the realms of people using these emotes over talking, which should not be the purpose of this.

The smile, sad, thumbs up, middlefinger, tick and X are not shorthand and would encourage chat. For example, when someone shakes his head, the X would appear over.
