This looks interesting Doylen!
i, like lrva, would like to see it in action tho.
One question tho, if the *reason* for doing this is to avoid chat-death wont u still have to be careful of animation death?
I assume you only chat-die when trying to chat *while* a mob is beating on you so does this mean that you will use the emoticons while being beatin on? And if not, then why not just type?
Unless this is just "your thing"...thats cool too. If thats the case you might also want one for "I need help" (but hopefully they are close enough to see the animation)
I also suggest:
Lying face down on the ground----------please revive me when you get a chance...
j/k
good luck!
