Relationship level emoticons: expand the range for clearer visual distinctions

Relationship -emoticon character relationship-values

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Currently, relationship levels between -3 and 3 (that's 7 points on an 11 point scale), all get the same emoticon. An emotionless face. I think the range of emoticons or colours could be increased to further display the range of emotions/levels of relationship.   I hope these images work and you can see the current range and proposed range. If they don´t work in here, head over to the discussion page to see them:
    I am not suggesting to use exactly the shown emojis, rather simply using more unicode emojis and/or colours to illustrate a how a greater range could look like. Either example will already increase the range of emotions / relationship levels available at an easy glance.   It'd be great if through the use of colours (akin to diplomacy webs) or different emoticons/symbols the differences between a relationship level -3 and 3 were visually different.   Previously requested as: HBFR-2964  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Either each level getting its own face, or every two levels allows people an increased level of awareness at a quick glance at the relationship between two characters. It'd make it a lot easier as a GM to have a visual distinction, for example, as they would be portrayed/played very differently.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

Possibly none, but I am keen to hear what people suggest in the comments.

The Team's Response

This suggestion did not reach the required threshold of community support.   I will investigate this and see how this feature can be improved. Both Ondo's and Ademal's suggestions will also be taken into consideration
