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.

Not really newbie question but if you look back Or up before Mickey Sticks and 2 Da's preceeded by a Silverhand you will find well not A. Rock but P. Rockwell!!! He pretty much sums it up, nice job Rockwell!!

How long does it usually take for the pic to show up on your avatar? I sent mine about a week or so ago, (not that I'm rushing, or being impatient)..just wondering when to expect the change.

I depends. Maybe a new featured mystery is coming up, maybe Ben is upgrading the server, or maybe Ben and Sunny are out on a date :D
But soon, and probably ASAP, there just might be more pressing issues to deal with first.

I sent mine around july I think and I only just got it, but it's deffinatly worth the wait.

Yeah Ben and Sunny have been very busy moving. It shouldn't take as long as next time though. As several people have offered to volunteer to help.

Is this still allowed? I would definitely like to submit my picture. The pleasure of busting myself would be unsurpassed.

Oct-22-2005 20:24

It's always allowed. I personally sent my pic in some time ago. Ben, where is it??

Oct-25-2005 14:39

I send my photo couple weeks ago... How long should I wait??

I suggest waiting as long as it take, after that you can stop waiting.

:)

and Ben is busy-this isnt' even his full time gig (excellent Zelda web page though, by the way) so breath, go play outside, it wll all work out :)
