OR NOT AT ALL SARCASTIC

Effective use of text to convey intent/emotional context is a skill that not many really have.

In business school, there are classes on effectively conveying feeling in internet communication. They push the use of emojis, remembering to +1 posts, all that. The strange thing is, that I am sure it is taught also to ESL users, because I can see the similarities in the way they post (esp in the land of Raves, Vodka, and IT). On the other hand, I think westerners probably do see it as sarcasm, or taking the piss; which only adds that extra bit of hilarity.

Really? That is disappointing. I can not stand emoji use in professional communication. I can see the value in netiquette, but emojis just make things seem too casual and even juvenile. Also, as a project manager I'm not your buddy, I'm here to make sure communication flows and stuff gets done.

Well, as a manager of project managers, I'm not your friend, buddy.

I felt that way as well, being an supervising engineer, project manager; except they judged my communication too cold, and I was needing warmth. Which I laughed (to myself), I mean, they want warmth from a 50 year old engineer? Talk about looking in the wrong place. However, having used it more on the actual business side, in professional, and employee emails, I do think they are correct.

PS. I've never seen any Critical Role, so I can't speak to it specifically, but how did this thread get derailed so fast?!

Sorry. It was my crystal clear hatred for traditional D&D gamers, you see.

All these years of playing, and I never sussed out that 5e Fighters and Rogues are apparently the same class, ditto for Clerics and Wizards.
