While I understand that TS is probably loath to open the whole can of worms that is character animation, if there were room in there for just a few more...
Could you add animations for a conga line? Where I reach my arms out to another glitches waist and stick my butt out and alternately kick out right foot, left foot, as i advance. Surely they have not outlawed conga lines in Vancouver. You could check youtube.com if you are drawing a blank on this.
That way, I could press 5 to trigger that animation and then anyone who choose to 'follow' me would also automatically be switched to that animation. A music switch would be nice too.
