I had an idea of an emote system could be implemented for chat containing client-side emotes. This would mean words you have in a specific list could instead be changed into an emote which is stored in a folder (i'd assume it could be a skinning element ?). I'd imagine that they would be similarly used like twitch.tv emotes; typing something in a certain way turns the word into an emote. Them being client side would mean that you could make your own words become emotes you make, so other people can make emotes for the game, essentially making another platform for community contribution.
I thought of this because I see many people use say Kappa and DansGame in osu chat, but its kind of lame without the emote. I believe emotes will strengthen the community and give it character as seen by how successful twitch is its chat community (sometimes the main reason why people watch a stream is for the chat).
