Where's [gin] when it's needed?

Starting a new thread as this would sound rather off on the one to which I refer.

I find the Zombie 'home fire' thread incomprehensible. Not because I disagree with it, or want to spoil it or anything.

But because person after person has posted just blank squares. Now, I assume they are a non MN emoticon of some sort. But they can't be read by all devices, and whereas usually you can guess by context you just can't when that's the entirety of the post.

Which got me thinking about MN emoticons again, and ask - as in the thread title - where's Gin when you need it?

I can't get it I'm on the app on apple.

It works on the website. Think everyone could do with a bit morale boost. Thanks Justine

Mother's Ruin was gin wasn't it?

Yes, because rough gin was an abortifacient.

I think you need to restart the app for it to be picked up...

UnbornMortificado · 30/01/2017 17:54

Thank you Justine. GinSmile

By the way, Justine, I think that that makes you - at least an honorary - a Phalanx member. You could post a Ginon Zombie's thread to make sure. Smile
