This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I've kept the same avatar, although at some point I'll bother to increase the size to match the max width. I considered using a shot of my own face, but I didn't want to make you all jealous of my transcendent awesomeness.

No, I think the only people on the board using unretouched images of themselves as avatars are you and Caesar Slaad.

Quote from: Seanchai;217221I'm seeing a lot of new avatars with familiar names. I've changed mine. So why did you change your avatar to it's current state?

It's just a new take on my old "consonants" concept, done in a larger size.

It's basically an inside joke with RPG.net, when I was unregistered and just typed random letters like this "gikgkjgkg" for my name.

I didn't change because Brett or one of the other mods suggested we stick to the old ones. And, as you know, I'm all about getting along with everyone.

I don't do Avatars, never have.

I may dig up the old Eeyore Avatar the nutkins gave me, I sort of liked that one for some strange reason.

Edit: Or I could go with this one... it sort of represents my reaction to the online world much of the time.

Well I have never used avatars before but decided to start giving it a go. It's boring having to search for a pic you like and fit the *precise* guidelines of forum A, B or C.

The bald, bearded dude looks so unlike me I thought "Gotta have that one!".

Does this make sense?

Apparently everyone here. Jorune's fifteen minutes was in a WtF thread that was briefly popular around here last year. I'm almost envious of GrimGent, at least he get's to talk about Nob when the game is attacked....

Quote from: Dr Rotwang!;217287Walkerp, does my habit of aways including a pink tie help you out?

Yes, I can work with that.  I did feel that the Conehead truly captured your attitude best, but I like the consistent pink tie theme.  I'll know it's you.  As it is now, I'm going to have to re-figure everybody's personality all over again.

Not with me man - My avatars are always my face, ...I'm just wearing different shirts or jackets depending on the picture.

Yeah...but I wish the attacks would be the "your game is going to destroy gaming as we know it" variety....:D
