:mmh:I still have :unamused: no idea :idea1::idea: what :question::questionwhite: to post :openbook::clipboard: in this media :vhs::videocamera::pager::newspaper:.
So let me :nogood: just say :thumbsup::tonguewink: nice to meet :moyai::seenoevil::alien: all of ya! :hibiscus::rose::tulip: :congratm:

As part of the reason I put so many emoticons in my original post, was to get used to using the new emotes, and so I would lose my apprehension of using them at all. So a few comments on the Emoji and Smilies.:speechballoon:

For one; they are a little small and hard to see just what some of them are.:leftmagnify:

This one::moyai:, I had to magnify 300% before I could see it was some kind of face of stone, and pointing at it , brought up the name:Moyai; a search brought nothing, so what is a moyai:question:

Then this one::nogood: looks like. at first, a person crossing their arms, but pointing at it and you come up with: no good; which I don't believe Gennypearl, in the above post, meant to say about herself; so I don't think I'm the only one that can't see what they are. Too bad they can't be enlarged. :telescope:

Another thing is; the Emoji smilies are down right homely, not vary expressive, and mostly showing negative emotions. Where are the smileys for a pat-on-the-back, need more howdies, hellos, and just more friendly emoticons.

Hello Trishri1:exclamation: Boy; you made me put on my thinking cap to interpret this entrant, and it hurt :cyclone:cause I don't have much left under the cap:exclamation:

But, as close as I can make out it is saying::speechballoon:

" Hello, CF flock. Welcome to preaching for strength/powers. I'd love to pray for members before they leave."

Is that close:question: The one that threw me was the large arm:question:, I kept trying to put "arm wrestling" into a sentence.:confused:

Now counting normally;:234: I come up with 13, but because of one of the sub-rules,;) unwritten but very powerful, "when no words are used in the sentence but you can still make a sentence; the iconitoms are worth 2 points." And for using ingenuity. So Trishri1 has 26 points and is our new leader!:checkeredflag: way to go Trish!:thumbsup:

So the score so far is:
Brinny: 3
Cassia: 22
Mnorian: 14
Grumman: 25
Gennypearl: 22
Trishri1: 26

Than we laughed and played our instruments and sang songs."

Hi folks;:wave: now we have our second entrant from Grummy to our contest. So lets see what we can make out of this:division:

"I drove my car to the convenience store to buy some music sheets for my violin. I'm in a band. While at the store it rained. My music sheets got soaked. I placed the music sheets by the fire to dry, but it caught fire. Arrrrgggg!"

Was I close:question:

So that's let me see; .... 31:exclamation: So now Grummy you are our new leader:checkeredflag::exclamation: Congratulations I hope you get some more sheet music.:)

So the score so far is:

Brinny: 3
Cassia: 22
Mnorian: 14
Grumman: 31
Gennypearl: 22
Trishri1: 26
Jewels: 20

p.s. I just noticed something; in the copy of your post, it says "I put the music sheets by the, but it was smoking," the "but it was smoking" wasn't in the original post; wonder what's going on there?

The. last part of the post was too long on my screen and I had to fix it. I am horrid typist. You were probably looking at it while I was trying to fix the lines.

That must be what happened; and now with the corrected entrant we have 35 emoticons in two lines:exclamation::) So that puts Grummy way out in the lead:D:exclamation:

So our new totals are:division:

Brinny: 3
Cassia: 22
Mnorian: 14
Grumman: 35
Gennypearl: 22
Trishri1: 26
Jewels: 20

Now I am:ahah::blush1::cheer::clap:for the day. :)

Hi Gennypearl; and thank you for your second entry to our contest! This one is choke full of our little friends the emoticonies; so lets see if I can decipher them:division:

"Hi people the alarm clock woke me up very early today, feeling tired, lost and a little out of it and still wanted to sleep and dream some nice sweet dreams; but I saw it was a bright sunny day, and feeling happy and wanting to dance, I felt recharged like Sayan, took a car ride and a boat ride. I ate banana bread and sipped some coffee. now I am happy and celebrating for the day. Cheers."

Some of that may be :capitalp:araphrased; but how close did I get:question:

I thought you had the top spot, it looked so full if emoties,☺ but the total comes to 33 right under a strong effort by Grummy:airplane:; so that gives you second place, congratulations :exclamation:

So our new scoreboard looks like this:division:
