#### sign carrying

i have often thought it would be useful to be carrying a sign that can be read by anyone passing me in the street.
i know we have notes, but we have to drop them and people have to interact with them to see what they say.
the ability to carry a sign would be handy for a lot of things, like "i am fixing tools for free" or "i'm playing a goofy trading game" or even "i prefer to mine alone".
i do not know how it should be implemented; maybe it would be temporary and timed, or it might expire as you pass to another street. it maybe should cost you something to hold and certainly require a skill or two.
i'm not very fussy about the details, but i do know i have often thought that a sign would be a handy thing to be able to carry.

- I know that the folks in our mine would love a permanent sign (or semi-perm, whatevs) to alert visitors to the guidelines we've set up and all follow.

- I'd like to be able to post a sign next to my egg tree that says: DO NOT TEND
  ...So I'd remember I'm trying to get down to the last egg. I often forget and will never finish the danged quest as a result.

- Instead of a sign, it could just be a permanent "thought bubble."

- Maybe it could be like the speech bubbles from the Garden Gnomes, when someone comes near you it triggers and your message can be seen?

- -1 for signs. It will just be advertising and spam, which no one needs more of. Anything like this especially shouldn't be put in place until they fix the existing bugs where you can't see or get at items behind the map box or local alerts, or read dialogs hidden behind the magic rock's book.
  -1 for the very idea of "our mine," everything not in your inventory or house is a public resource.

- Honestly, I think that signs would be okay, but they should have to be approved in order to verify game-related material. That would eliminate spam (though it would also be a headache for those in charge).

- So long as its an option that can be turned off and a learned next step in penpersonship I'd be for this

- I like the idea, with the above caveats that some thought be put into how to discourage advertising (thumbs down / thumbs up options, with X number of thumbs down responses removing the visibility of the sign? no external links allowed?) and the option to hide/show signs.

- I think it would be cool, but I think it would only work, if you really had to "carry" your ign, and not just leave it there, on the ground because i would be too much visual plution. And it would probaby have to be an energy cost (these sign are heavy, after all).
