OK, I wondered about this for a while.

When I started this game, I arrived here to play a game. Picking some random avatar, even one that is male (while as most of you know IRL I am a female), was not something I even thought about.

Now, as I am in this place for the community, and the game almost becoming secondary. I feel carrying the avatar that I do is almost strange.

Even more so, meeting my first sleuths in real life, and now knowing 100% sure, that they will remain real life friends. Carrying this strange guy (though a friend of Ben and Sunny's) as an avatar seems even weirder.

Anyone experiencing the same feelings?
Does anyone have an opinion about using your real picture as an avatar, or purposely not using your real picture?

After a lot of thinking, I sent Ben a pix of myself today. If Ben can give me sex change, I should sport myself as an avatar. :)

I am hoping others will join me. But this is obviously a personal choice.

Looks like Ben performed a sex change on Calalta and myself as well.

Gosh! I will really have to get used to these pictures now!

Not like I haven't seen a pic of you before, jstkdn. It is just weird now because it is in Sleuth.

Now we need your picture up here jojo!!!

Mar-15-2005 19:43

haha! That'll be the day!

I will think of sending one through email...maybe.

It isn't coming onto Sleuth though!

Mar-15-2005 19:50

Or maybe I should let Ben seen it. And Sunny. And almost the whole sleuth community.....but not jstkdn. :)

That sounds like a good idea. :)

Or maybe someone should, oh, I dunno.....

...start a petition???

; )

yes, that's me (when I was 18, anyway!) Gosh, it's wierd seeing me there! I like it, i feel like i'm playing instead of my character now! I've had to read the board all over again tho, it's almost like a different conversation with different pictures! Mind you, I don't actually know anyone i'm speaking to so I guess that heightens the effect. A big thank you to Ben who evidently had a busy day yesterday!:)

Caitey, I am experiencing the "weird" factor right now as well. Hahahah. I have to get used to my own mug.
