Hello,

The old email address that we used to receive new avatars is now so overrun by spam as to be pretty useless.

So, from now on, please send any pictures you would like to use for your detective avatar to this address:
sleuth.avatars@gmail.com

The rules:
1) This offer is only open to current subscribers.
2) Portrait photos only. No cartoons, illustrations, full body shots, etc.
3) Try to stick with the style of the game.
4) We reserve the right to refuse to post avatar images for any reason. The most common reasons we refuse are:

It can take up to six weeks to turn around avatars, so please don't freak out if you don't hear back right away.

If you sent an avatar to the old address that has not yet been posted, please resend it to this address.

Thank you! (And thanks to the volunteer avatar wranglers who help get these prepared and posted).

It's frustrating isn't it? I'm not annoyed that it could take someone this long to crop and greyscale a few photos. This is not directed at SS, but Ben rather. And no responses, so I'm not sure if I screwed up or not.

And the selection of generic photos is exceptionally poor. Look at us! I have a double chin. And poor Clift here is wearing what looks like a Super Mario hat. Must we take action? Like a flood of PM's perhaps?

Im with you SS. WHen Admin gets around to putting them up he will. And remember just because you sent one in doesn't automatically mean it goes to Admin once its cropped etc. There has to be enough pictures to actually send over to Admin in one batch.

You'll get it one day, it's not the end of the world and it doesn't affect your gameplay, so be patient. When you log on one day and see your new mug, you'll be excited!

:D

How long did you have to wait Jas? The reason why I'm getting impatiant is because my subscription might expire before Admin wipes the Cheeto crumbs off his shirt and get to it.

If nonsubscribed sleuths could submit requests, I would make about four of them (and never play as them) with avatar demands to meet the x amount the batch needs, since it may take awhile due to the fact that this game hasn't achieved World of Warcraft status as far as popularity.

And for that matter, why does it have to be in batches?

yawns. seriously I'm SO tired. anyway. you can tell when I send them to Ben, I tell everyone here. i usually start looking at the next batch when ben posts the new one. I recognise that can create some lag in itself. doing them individually only increases (a) the likelihood someone will be missed, and (b) the chances of them going astray post me sending them to ben. lastly, it's not a part of the subscription. ultimately, coz the moans far outweigh the thanks in volume and content, it would be easier not to have them so no-one needed to to complain about them not happening. all those in favour of stripping all the players avatars back to the generic 16? please say aye!

they paved paradise and put up a parking lot...

Actually, Clint.. They dont have to do it at all...and remember, the admin have lives outside this game, and it IS a busy time of year so.....just be thankful there is even a SLEUTH to play. You can live with, and play with the avater you have now, it doesnt effect your game playing. Be patient...because as I said, choosing the pic you want as an avater doesnt even have to happen at all.

....and so what that it doesnt have the popularity of world of warcraft...I havent heard of that game (and doesnt sound like it would be of interest to me) but...Sleuth is a dear game to most who have been here for a long time...and to me, in MY opinion, that outweighs the popularity contest.

Be happy and appreciative of what ya got.....and be lucky there are even people who take time out to collect your pic requests, and send them on.
