I thought it would be completely ingenious for Notch to add ink pens to minecraft. Craft them with one stick and one ink sac, and then write on paper just like you can with signs. What do you guys think?

That would be nice, first notch would have to add paper as a block though, right now its just an item.

I think it needs a bit more to be a useful suggestion.
One thing is to make mailboxes. The ink pen can write on paper and be saved somehow, then you can put it in a mailbox. The NPC villages could also have mailboxes, and the NPC's can react in some way to it. For example, if you draw a diamond, they will bring something to trade for your diamond. Accepting the offer (by giving the diamond) will give you respect, and declining the offer would sadden them. Another example, if you draw a penis or write a swear word, they will be very mad at you and attack. Though that would be EXTREMELY hard to code for NPCs as there is a crap ton of possibilities you could write or draw, so the main reason is to make a note and place it in a mailbox in SMP. Better than signs, as you have more pieces of paper than reasons to waste a sign. It would be a good way to leave a note to someone who is AFK or offline.
@funky3000- No joke, that is almost exactly what I was thinking after I had posted that :laugh.gif: And thanks to everyone for supporting this so quickly, hopefully it will be added... eventually.
