Feeble I was thinking of using your egging avatar item and just adding more options to it but I wonder if it might be better as its own item as it would do slightly different things maybe?
I was reading the facebook info page (see gift item post) and they have another feature for giving members a nudge or a poke.
Facebook includes a "poke" feature which allows one user to send a "poke" to another. In principle this is intended to serve as a "nudge" to attract the attention of the other user... They can do various things using these applications such as hug, pinch, bite, kiss, bitchslap, tickle, or trip.
I was thinking it could change the custom title or personal text to ' Fred was nudged by perplexed...' and maybe send the member a pm with a nudge in it or whatever you want to send them.
I was thinking maybe animated smileys which is why the egging item wont work as animated gifs wont work with that.
So maybe it would do the following:
1. change their custom title to say 'you've been poked...'
2. send them a PM to say who poked them
3. add a poking/nudging/bitchslapping/kissing smiley to their post/profile 'somewhere'?
OR send them a greeting card with the poke in it by using the display item and relevant code?
Failing that I could just add to the egging but I wondered what you thought of the idea?
