I was just wondering what smileys people think would be used regularly that aren't in the list.
I can see bunnylump using this one frequently.
I was wondering why there is a choice of devilish ones, but nothing sweet and angelic for when she offers Scurra an arsenic sandwich?
And perhaps someone could enlighten me as to the proper use of the topic icons.
(This isn't meant to be a criticism of the smiley selection, I think they're quite a good choice, but more a discussion topic)

This one might come in useful
and I frequently feel like
(Which could be titled time to ask MBH for advice)
I haven't found kicking onesself, which might come in handy once the puzzles begin to flow

I said frequently. Solving a puzzle can be quite a rare event

Maybe that's what a puzzle would look like if represented by a smiley. Big , hairy and scary.

Actually I think it's the symbol for a certain Other Person in the Other Place, whose biog seems to indicate he's a werewolf...
But I think I'll have it anyway!

Perhaps this one
needs breaking down into a variety of facial expressions (particularly in a place like this) from
"mildly bemused"
through
"I have an idea, but I'm not ready to share it yet"
to
" I seem to have walked in on a group of people talking a rare Martian dialect"

Don't worry, I've found one for you.
This is the best one I could find for Bunnylump:
