    [​IMG] Yea, it's finally here...

    But there are rules on changing, oh yes...

    1. Changing an avatar to a portrait is OPTIONAL. You cannot change an avatar to another avatar, you can only change it to a portrait.

    2. The choice between a portrait or avatar will be available to everyone who contributes to SP in one of the ways listed at http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/faq.html#custom FROM NOW ON, i.e. to anyone who does not have an avatar yet at this point, or to anyone who contributes/donates AGAIN FROM THIS DAY FORWARD.

    3. Anyone who has previously donated or contributed to SP MORE THAN ONCE can PM/mail me about changing their avatar to a portrait. Portraits are listed on the same page as avatars, so don't mail be about the url, look it up, you already got it once.

    4. Currently only NWN portraits are available. Feel free to send me a portrait from another IE game yourself if you desperately want it, and I'll set you up, but I would prefer that the NWN portraits be used first.

    5. All members of the SP crew, or anyone assisting/helping on the SP website/boards can change their avatar to a portrait without meeting the above requirements.

    I think this about covers it... If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

    Say someone got himself a portrait ... can he change it back to an avatar? or is it just avatar - portrait only?

    [Obviously just one or the other.] -Tal

    /me is pleased that Tal let us have the choice but thinks he'll stick to bobbing around as a floating skull :rolling:

    /me hands the polish over to Sir Dargorn, who seems to also need it now.

    Firestorm you can go [URL REMOVED] here to see all the custom portraits and avatars available at Sorcerers.

    [He can go there, but others can't unless Tal changes his mind to show it publically. Everyone else who deserve the avatar change may come in IRC for the link or use PM for it] - Ex

    [This message has been edited by Extremist (edited July 14, 2002).]

    Ah, sorry Ex, didn't know it couldn't be seen by just anyone.

    *sigh*

    All these cool things you can have as custom avatars and I can't get one.

    I blame the parents, not allowed to buy anything from the net or send e-mails with attachments.(yeah right)

    Gopher looks like a band member.
    Ragusa looks like my uncle
    Z-layrex looks like a final fantasy hero
    mine looks like an evil monk

    But Mat's is the best. his strangly resembles Wolverine from X-men. (cartoon version)

    [​IMG] Bel, you look like an idealistic paladin with a cold! ;)

    [That was my first choice, but my wife's veto pointed me towards my selection ... mostly because of the slightly red nose issue. She called him Rudolf the Happy Paladin. :lol: :spin: ]

    Heheh, Poodle:
    Wtf!? Was that supposed to rhyme or something? Oh and by the way, not in a band no longer! Our drummer (who's two years below) had an argument about potatoes or something with our Lead Guitarist, and left. :(
    Ah well...
