poke nudge item

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?

There is probably a few things you can do here as you have said.

Those ideas listed are all pretty sound, and you should go through with and implement hopefully each one(Gift cards, could be just a long winded PM or if anything ever comes out of this thread might come in handy)

Since forums are a social thing, I would also recommend something that is out in the open next to posts rather then tucked away in profiles.
Maybe utilizing this Item here since you say your images are animated.

or if you've fine with stills, altering the EggAvatar with pokes or backslaps sounds kinda cool as well.
