We need a sarcastic tag. In order to do this...I need suggestions of what the text inside a sarcastic tag should look like.

Suggest away, motherfuckers.

Ugly Bastard · 02-15-2005, 07:52 PM

How about flashing red lights that say "Bullshit" on either side of the sarcastic phrase?

ninjaface · 02-15-2005, 08:04 PM

Flashing lights might work. I'm sure you could find a siren animation easily. Or make it function like a hyperlink, except instead of going where ever the person wants, it goes to the definition of sarcasm on an online dictionary. And instead of the text being yellow, I would suggest orange or red.

All sarcast text should be DEFINITELY be orange or red.

Ugly Bastard · 02-15-2005, 08:18 PM

Or just Orange.

I don't know if this is such a good idea. A big part of sarcasm in my daily life relies on whether or not the person can tell i'm being sarcastic or not. It says a lot if you can't tell; All you have to do is do a simple comparison with past behavior. Example: When I said the Matrix movies sucked, yet i'm advocating the movie Constantine, about a supernatural detective that can travel between heaven and hell, it's probably safe to assume I enjoyed the Matrix movies.

Sarcasm over the internet is nearly indetectible unless you know the person really really well.

All too often the thought is "well he could be being sarcastic, but that would be giving him too much credit"

Maybe alternating red and orange letters.

I have an idea, when you say something sarcastic, signify it with a number following the statement (from 1 to 10) saying how sarcastic you are being -1

In reality we are being somewhat sarcastic with everything we say.

Oh yeah, raping babies is a great idea! - 8

I think Canadians are just great! - 5

You get the idea.

It's really a pretty good system -1

If you don't like it...you don't have to use it.

Mr. Blonde · 02-15-2005, 08:56 PM

Good point. I guess it was more my opinion on the proper application of sarcasm.

Ironic Mustache · 02-15-2005, 09:05 PM

Raping babies is a great idea!

Ironic Mustache · 02-15-2005, 09:05 PM

That's all.

Orgazmo · 02-15-2005, 09:27 PM

I don't like the idea of the text being a set color...because it won't necessarily blend in with all of the templates. Having the text the same color as a certain element in each template is doable, however.

Also, the encasing in sirens isn't necessarily a bad idea...though it could get very annoying.

victim · 02-15-2005, 09:53 PM

I think this is a great idea. Subtlety and nuance are overrated, and definitely outdated in this modern age of instant messaging, email, and online forums. In fact, I think all text should be color coded to signify meaning, rather than the old method of deriving meaning from context.

Blue text should represent the poster is being a total badass. The classic color of cool, blue fits perfectly. Ex. I use my giant cock to slap bitches and fuck your mothers. I rock.

Pink text will signify the poster is being a pussy little bitch. Ex. Hey, I'm underwater. You assholes should stop making fun of me... OR... OR... I'll just keep posting like this!

Green text suggests the poster is under the influence of alcohol or some sort of drug. No longer will Nubblites get posts between sober and intoxicated people confused. We all know how hard it can be. Ex. Fuuuiuucckkk duudes iol'km all masdiased up an sshda SHITasdl and sokmne biaqrych and tyheyhn caockl.

Brown text symbolizes that the user is posting on a laptop with a wireless connection while taking a dump. Ex. Urrrrrrrrrrgh... What the hell? That's a lot of corn... WAIT! I KNOW WHAT I CAN DO!

Yellow text will signify the poster is absolutely brilliant. Like, brilliant enough to know when Stephen Hawking is bluffing when he plays Hold'em (he drools more). I could think of no better destiny for the official color of Nubblies. Ex. Imagine this entire post in yellow. It'll be like that.

Black text (black text) will convey that the poster is a fucking retard who has nothing worthwhile to say. This will save everyone a lot of time. Hell, we could even make it the default posting color for a few people on here. Ex. I'm VOL, and I think Hitch is an excellent movie. I give it 5 out of 5 Golden N's

You see, these color codes, in addition with a sarcasm marker will make life so much easier for those Nubblites who strain to make sense of it all. That is, except for the color-blind Nubblites, but hey, fuck them, people with disabilities are inferior and should be left to die at birth!

I don't mean to be self promoting here:

But I think my idea of having flashing red lights that say "bullshit" is far and away better than all of you guys's ideas combined. Thank you.

-Ugly Bastard

Orgazmo · 02-15-2005, 10:41 PM

Yeah, I don't think a siren will be annoying or anything.

Ugly Bastard · 02-15-2005, 10:43 PM

Flashing red lights that say "bullshit" will be even better.

-Ugly Bastard

Saint DH · 02-15-2005, 10:48 PM

anything flashing will annoy the hell out of me. Color coding text will never get any use. The rating system is by far the greatest idea of them all - 10.

I think sarcastic text should be in the offical nubblies font, the one that the logo is in. I don't know how easy that would be to implement though.

edit: actually in my attempt to discredit DJFC's idea, I may have just reinforced it. Oh well.

[ February 15, 2005, 08:13 PM: Message edited by: Dirty Harry ]

Orgazmo · 02-15-2005, 11:40 PM

It'd be really simple to implement...but, unless you have the font installed on your computer, it'd show up as the default font.

02-16-2005, 12:01 AM

I think the rating system is completely feasible (3).
