Subscribed players can submit their picture to be used as an avatar. Please go to city hall "submitting content to sleuth" for details on how and where to submit. Avatar changes are however a freebie donated by the sleuth team and community volunteers. Reason why it is for subscribed people only is because too many avatars were received to keep up.

The process:
1. People submit avatars which all end up on the sleuth mail server.
2. Once in a while volunteers (Secret Squirrel and myself) pick up the avatars, and get to work if there are more then 5 avatars that we can approve.
3. We approve, and "sleutherize" the pictures. This is a process I won't bore you with.
4. We send the approved and sleuthererized avatars to Ben.
5. We post in this thread who's pictures have ben sent for upload.
6. Ben uploads, and they are live.

There is no need to keep submitting your avatar if you don't hear anything. Avatars sending is as reliable as email is. And we don't log in daily, hence why we are not answering you. There is no need to PM us either as to when we are going to do them. We will get to them, when we have time. If you PM us, that's exactly what we'll tell you. Just keep your eye on this thread.

Avatars that didn't get approved will receive email as to why, and with instructions how to fix the problem. They can them make the next batch.

Common reasons for rejection:
It is already an avatar submitted by someone else in Sleuth. It is not a picture of a person, ie. cartoons, drawn pictures, animals, objects.
Extreme poor quality (too poor to even be properly visual), Pictures that may create offence, copy righted pictures, people submit an avatar for someone else, and want it to show up without that other persons knowledge or permission, not adding the detective name to which they like the avatar to be added, other pictures that are for some reason not in line with the many avatars we already see in this game.

And please, please please Ben, make it possible for us to use all these great avatars in scripted mysteries.

Zoriah: if you can believe it, she's just a free photo I found thru a search engine. I was looking for someone tough yet charming - the full pic is a three-quarter body shot, and she's aiming a tommy gun. I love her! I feel so much more sleuth-ier now. . .

I hope my avatar I sent in passes scrutiny. All the rules confuse my little brain.

A question about avatars: will all avatar pictures be used as suspects in new mysteries? I have been looking forward to see my avatar picture in the most evil schemes the Sleuth engine can contrive, but no luck so far.

Thanks Lady Jas! I started to read from the start of the thread and got tired. Sorry! Hope someone casts me as supervillain in a SM soon (my bad self crawls and writhes inside me, demanding recognition) ;)

"Oh and whilst Ben has stalled the use of submitted avs for Random Mysteries all (or most of) the submitted avs are currently available to SM authors to use for their suspects, hence why you will see in the newer SMs faces you haven't seen in the random mysteries."
