2 ideas for simple ways for people to telegraph their intentions and interests

Wouldn't it be nice to have a simple way for people to telegraph their intentions and interests?

I wish there could be a sort of sub-header that would appear under your glitch's name, maybe about 15 characters, and that could be changed as often as you like.

Here are some possibilities:

Solitary Miner
Emblems 4 sale
Trying to die
Need quest help

I also think that people under level 10 should automatically display their level on that line because everyone loves to help newbies.

Another possibility would be to have programmable hot keys that displayed frequently typed messages. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to just hit one key for phrases like: Thank you, You're welcome, Leaving now bye, Do you need help, I mine alone, Can I mine with you, etc?

  • The ones that seem like you're trying to control how people interact with you, that just seems like asking for mischief.  It's not so hard to go somewhere quiet to die; and I feel like solitary mining is something people need to take care of themselves by trying to go where others are not.  What if you go to Callopee at 10PM EST/US and find a street occupied by three "solitary miners" - do they own the rocks?   I would totally "help" them all on purpose, and I'm not really that kind of player.  ;)

    The sale thing is probably going to show up again with that trading interface they tested at the end of last year.
