    We need to liberate the avatars from the clutches of falsely priviledged SP-nobles... Bion, you roll some stones while I break into the avatar vault. :p

    I'm suprised no one has mentioned that there already is a red dragon, or have you all already forgotten about Rastor :p . I feel a battle of the dragons coming on as two reds fight for the power of SP! Will ancient red defeat the younger wyrm, or will the geeser be put in his place... or maybe they can learn to live in harmony and live happily ever after... :rolleyes:

    Bion, you speculate too much... suffice it to say that it doesn't work like you've imagined it.

    Rolsuk, Rastor's avatar is not a dragon; it's a red abishai.

    Aha! Your denials only prove that there's an active conspiracy at work behind the high hedges! (Of course, an admission would have proved the same thing; it sure is great to be a conspiracy theorist! :lol: )

    @Morgoroth: happy now? Huh?

    What new avatar? Oh, this old thing?

    It's just a ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore.

    (Though its answer little meaning - little relevancy bore.)

    What's that? someone muttering about a new avatar?

    `'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
    Only this, and nothing more.'


    So know we've a Magpie and a raven, we're getting towards a veritable aviary, to be sure!

    What!? Carcaroth too? :eek: You mean he's no longer some kind of cloud/yeti hybrid thing?!?!!

    Frankly, I don't know what the world's coming to any more. I need a lie down! :aww:

    Yeah, he's a black panther, and it looks even cooler than mine. :p :sosad: :wail: ;)

    P.S. If Bard changes his, I've got dibs. :nono:

    Carcaroth - that's a good one. Always bet on black.

    Cheers, I was torn between this, the Crag Cat and the Polar Bear, I also had a soft spot for the Badger. The Jaguar isn't bad either but I think the man himself should have first dibs on that one.

    I like the Raven, it's the better of the bird portraits.

    Makes me wonder if I should have only signed up for three months so I can change it again in the (nearer) future. Perhaps Tal could set it up so it can be changed in the profile - another site I occasionally frequent allows this.

    I'm going to have to change my character in the SPS forum, I will resist going down the Drizzt route!

    Come-on you Gems, there a whole world of Avatar choice to chose from now. The exchange rate is pretty good for non-US as well.

    [​IMG] Carcaroth, if we allowed everyone to pick their own portraits, it could be done in the profiles, but avatars and portraits here are a more select feature, so it can't work like that.

    Oh. Rally, Please don't change your avatar. But do get your SPS account back. Nakia is getting lonely. Now she doesn't have anyone to talk to but Bernard at least 'til Atari Man wakes up. :(

    @Carcaroth, at least this one you could play as a shapeshifter of somesort, or be someone's familiar, or.....

    I was sort of partial to the chicken . . . but decided against it.
