Hello,

The old email address that we used to receive new avatars is now so overrun by spam as to be pretty useless.

So, from now on, please send any pictures you would like to use for your detective avatar to this address:
sleuth.avatars@gmail.com

The rules:
1) This offer is only open to current subscribers.
2) Portrait photos only. No cartoons, illustrations, full body shots, etc.
3) Try to stick with the style of the game.
4) We reserve the right to refuse to post avatar images for any reason. The most common reasons we refuse are:

It can take up to six weeks to turn around avatars, so please don't freak out if you don't hear back right away.

If you sent an avatar to the old address that has not yet been posted, please resend it to this address.

Thank you! (And thanks to the volunteer avatar wranglers who help get these prepared and posted).

Yes. There area couple of Grace Kellys. A couple of Ava Gardners. Humphrey Bogarts. Marilyn Monroes. I have started telling people to try elsewhere where I know there's 2 or 3 of the same person. Otherwise Ani is right, as a rule you can't have the same avatar as another player. Ben has made exceptions to this rule, but not often.

Oh and I'll jog Ben's memory about the last batch since it doesn't seem to be up yet.

lol... define 'problem'. I don't think so, Ben's just busy I suspect getting the ship err ship-shape and ready for launch and hasn't gotten to the last batch of avatars yet.

ok there's probably enough for 'another' batch in the email folder. So whilst we're waiting on the last one I'll do a new one this week as well.

Not nearly as hard as getting a whole, brand new expansion up and running on time, I bet.

Now, now... let's not get hasty.

The batch before this just came out April 24th. It hasn't quite been two months between there. I think I submitted soon after that. We just got a whole new expansion that Admin has been working on since before that. I'm sure the Admin will get to it. It's not something he charges extra for. So it's not really a requirement for him to get it done.

we're not paying for it but it's a well-established practise within sleuth to get an avatar changed, no? i, along with many other players have been waiting patiently for a long time now, without questioning or "complaining". polite reminders from other people didnt seem to work either. that's why i wanted to voice my opinion. i thought that might speed things up when nothing else had worked so far. no offense intended.

I'm sure Ben is responding with the appropriate amount of enthusiasm that your opinion engenders Sgt Troy.

Happy Sleuthing.
