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.

Ben usually processes a few at a time so it can take a couple of weeks for the new photo to come into effect. Give it a bit longer and if you're still waiting send Ben an email or PM Sleuth Admin

Yo Ben did you get my pic?...I think that will be most pimped-out pic in the game :D

do we have to send a colour or a black'n'white photo?

Jul-15-2005 01:20

It only takes a couple of clicks to change colour photos into black and white so I don't think it matters which kind you send in :)

hello....
i don't want to use my picture..

You don't have to use your picture. I just found this one on the net. A great thing about submiting a photo is that the picture is unque to you. You're not just anouther clone but a bit more yourself-or whoever you want to be. I pciked my guy because I wanted a Native American picture to add to the SLeuth community. It adds character to the game because the picture you picked out would be part of the regular game.
(Except, my guy always seems to be guilty!)

Hello Ben & Sunny, texan and I were wondering when our avatar pictures will be added in the game. It has been over two months and we're excited about getting to use our own. Thanks for all you do.
