    We need an Offical Sarcasm font.

    You all heard me, make it happen.

    We need a font to display sarcasm. That way people know its sarcasm and don't translate it incorrectly.


    You may say "Well, if people take it it the wrong way then that person bad at sarcasm." Bullocks. You never get good at something until you do it and fail.

    Bigzoman, I am so proud of you for bringing this up. We need some serious order to this madness known as MMO-Champion. This is possibly one of the most creative ideas I have ever heard. You have my full support.

    a sarcasm font kinda defeats the purpose of sarcasm.
    with a font for it you might aswell say what was intended in the first place. defeating the sarcasms purpose in the first place.

    My vote is for the font that nobody can take seriously:

    Comic Sans

    This makes sense. Sarcasm is usually in the voice and body language, not the words themselves.

    I suggest a reversed italic, italic tilted to the left instead. This way it's subtle enough to be passed as italic (simulating intonation difference) but noticeable if you pay attention.

    I know it's hard to look stuff up online but maybe you'd be interested in the SarcMark.
    Check out my game, Craftsmith, on the Google Play Store!

    The question is, how would you standardize or enforce it (if need be)?

    It can be like manners.

    The mods put it in the official rules, but not enforce it.

    Posters who post more frequently can mention it to newer posters, and soon a non-breakable habit will form.

    We just need to streamline it and get it out there. It'll go from there.

    It's 2016. We need an innovation to shitpostin: MMOC's favorite pastime.

    We can use a font that already exists that nobody ever uses anyway.

    That's efficiency, son.

    We already have the smiley.

    Man, I love WoD so much, couldn't have gotten a better expansion.

    Most nonsensical thing I ever heard. The whole point of sarcasm is that you don't explain it to idiots.

    I was being 100% serious. Sorry if it seemed otherwise. We need some kind of visual aid to help with that.

    No biggie.

    This is why this is such a great idea.
