That is somehow even more annoying than "you win the thread" or "/thread" or "thread over."

Yes, :am: is former BYOB poster Atomic Monkey. I have no idea if he still uses that username. Yes, he bought his own vanity emoticon.

Generally if a smiley has an unexplained origin, it almost certainly came from BYOB. That forum was a massive moneymaker for Lowtax simply on avatar changes alone, I'm surprised it was closed.


actually one of my friends bought it going along with what the crowd says makes you a cool kid :am: . i don't remember who since i only still talk to like 2 people from byob on here.

it's not really a big deal anyways :p it kind of adds to my already 'enormous legend' (faggotry).

Looking at my previous post, there's a lot of emoticons that don't have an explanation beyond "byob".

I still want to know why :holy: is the holy dance.

The man in black fled across Middle Tennessee, and Pierre followed.
Just saying that :ocelot: is finding quite a bit of use in this thread about a kid who's name in sign language looks like a gun (but actually it's some dumb sign language drama between the parents and the school)

Goes to show that sometimes even the LP single use emoticons can get a second wind.

Yeah, the Dwarf Fortress mood and behavior AI is both incredibly complex and incredibly stupid at the same time. One of the older jokes about the game is that a dwarf is a creature that balances out to happy because on one hand, he just watched his wife get eaten by elephants, but on the other hand he just ate in a really nice dining room. Also, many a fort has fallen due to a Dwarf opening the front gates to go loot a pair of shoes off a dead soldier, or when one dwarf's tantrum breaks some other dwarf's stuff who then throws a tantrum...

It was more that the dwarf has no concept of 'fire', so to them there are these strange epidemics of severe pain and vandalism against things not made of stone or metal.

My personal favourite - although it's been fixed for a long time now - was when someone falls into the lava moat, and every other goddamn dwarf in the fortress would immediately rush to the moat and hurl themselves in trying to take the dead guy's socks.
