Hi,

As some of you maybe be aware, a team of us forum members had been developing a game. Please see here: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&b=8&t=114384&p=0
Because the game is heavily based on the TGC community for one of our levels we would like to have members' avatars cycling in slideshows in certain areas of a map. Basically, we are looking to gain permission from you to use your avatars. If you are interested in giving us this permission please post here. However, these are the criteria we would prefer if your avatar had:

1) It should a be unique avatar meaning not the default ones you can choose from here on the Apollo forums. Preferably something that you yourself made.

2) We would really prefer if well known members could come forward to volunteer their avatars. This means that if you have just joined a few weeks ago or aren't very active at all we are thankful for you willingness to volunteer but we are looking for people who are truly "icons"(if I you don't mind me saying so) of the community.

Any questions please email me or any other TGCH Team member. Also you may visit our team forums if you are interested in helping in any way (note that we are open to anybody willing to contribute time to the project).

Our forums :http://tgcheroes.yourbb.nl/

Thanks

Let's just say anyone would do, but veterans around here would be even better. We'll be randomly selecting them so I'd say: why not?

I'm volunteering mine, by the way, not this one but my earlier one:

I'd volunteer mine aside from the fact its copyrighted to PlaySkool or whoever makes Mr.Potato Heads. I suppose if this game isn't commercial though you can go ahead and use it, fine by me.

Some things will pose a problem though, like 1/3 of the people active use these custom smiley things.

Your about to get pwned.

if I ever get around to making a custom one like I've been planning to, you can use it.

Mine's Invader Zim, so I'm not sure about using it in a game. But, if you want to risk it, go for it

I'd "contribute", but mine is just a resized, cropped picture i found on the net. Would that be ok?

I don't know if i'm an icon here, but i'm fairly active and known well troughout the geek culture board atleast. It's were i hang out with the coolest people on the net.

You can use mine if you want, although it comes from a little known TV show (and perhaps the most significant leap forward since Quantum Leap) called Darkplace.

Quote: "great show"
Deffo. Buy the DVD and get the full version of one track lover. Class. It's a little show that doesn't try to do much, just change the way you think about life.

But remember, I'm not Jesus. I accept that now.... Don't do drugs! Hehehehehehe.... Must watch again...

BTW, seen Sanch in the 2nd series of IT crowd? Practically the same guy. Classic. Apparently he pretty much talks like that in real life, just slightly toned down. Wouldn't it be great if we all talked like that?

Are all these avatars gonna be characters? If so, you're crazy and going in the totally wrong direction. However perhaps many could be a rip-off of pokemon events like when in ssb you threw a pokeball yall know what I mean.

Did anyone saying we're using them as characters read the top post? We're using them as scenery on the Frantic Forums level.

I suppose you could use mine, assuming Mr. Groening doesn't mind. I do have other avatars that I can provide (both promoting my games and just other ones I've made) and alternately, my old yoda avatar or the gman, which is my avatar everywhere else.

Not sure if I've been around long enough. But then, if zombie made then why not me!

Thanks, Dr Manette. I individually promise you now we'll be using the 2nd one - seeing you also submitted him as game character.

Stoopid, yours is stoopid. But it's in the lottery as well, so we'll see.
