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.

Georgia, all the uploaded avatars get used as suspects in the mysteries. If you send in a pic for your avatar, no one else can use it for their avatar, though.

To all those who are wondering about where there avatar is (if you've sent one in),

Ben messaged me about them after I inquired. It seems that the wretched outages that have happened not long ago are causing him to slow down the process for most of the things in Sleuth. He is sending the avatars to people who have done it before (namely jstkdn, Blueberry Hill, and ^^TnT^^). You can expect them soon (in a couple of days). In the meantime, if you want a unique detective, SEND IN YOUR PICTURES!

The Hercule Poirot photo is humorous as a suspect. Only one thing is needed to take this game into the realm of legend: an avatar photo of Jared from Subway. Who hasn't wanted to pin a murder on him? On a related note, if you used a photo of O.J., would you get sued?

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Are the submitted avatars going to be used in cases anymore? I was told at one time that an attempt was being made to match the avatars to the different cities - oriental, caucasian, middle-eastern, etc. Then someone else told me that Ben was not going to use avatars in cases anymore. Anyone know anything about this?

Well at the very least I think all the submitted avatars will be used in FM's as there's the option to choose from any current Sleuth Avatar when assigning faces to suspects. (lol even the Wicked Witch of the West I see)
