What about adding emoticons like ( . . .) into the game himself ?

I would actually like to see a cleaner chat area on TBN at the very least, something about toribashs current chat setup is very IRC-ish in a Discord-ish world, emojis could make for a nice addition honestly, I believe the actual suggestion could use some polishing up but shit posting responses aren't doing anything.

I'd support to an extent

I think it's good idea.
When the emoticons popped up on the tori head like /em command.
