There are two common requests that we can tackle simultaneously. The first is that people want to submit their own picture to use as their detective's avatar. The second is that there are not enough different suspect pictures.

So, if you would like to submit your own picture, I can set that as your avatar. In exchange, I would like to add those pictures to the pool of possible suspect pics. I'll set it up so that nobody else will be able to use your picture for their detective, but your face will make appearances in the various cases in the game.

I don't want to automate the process because then people will upload all kinds of junk that would detract from the game.

So, if you are interested, send in a photo of yourself to
ben@hypotheticalsoftware.com
I'll take care of the cropping, resizing and desaturating. By sending in photos, you are granting permission for use in this game.

Hi, Ben. Could you use the photo Jstkdn sent w/ my pic? If you can't let me know and I'll resend.
Thanks

Um...how long does this take. I sent my photo in a few days ago but no change yet. Was it not received or are you backed up? Try a piece of fruit!

anyone know when the last update was done??Anyone updated in March??

Mar-19-2005 20:07

The last update was mid week. Mine and Jstkdn's as well as a few others were changed then. Since Ben is away on business this week it may be until next week before any more are changed.

Wow I didn't realize I was supposed to include the URL...wait maybe I did...I can't remember!! How will one know if one's picture is unacceptable, will I be sent a PM or email?

Oh boy - Thanks, James Lee - I'll have to tell my wife that someone thinks I look like Giles....

Would this be a bad time to mention that I am, in fact, a librarian?

And its nice to see a whole new batch of photos in the game, over the last day or two - thanks to everyone who's sending them, and thanks to Ben for adding them!
