Would it be possible to have our own custom avatars instead of / as well as the current selection of bug-eyed animals that is available? Obviously there would have to be ground rules like a specific resolution and no images over a certain size, but it could work.
Do you think? RJS? :D

It`s something I`d love to do, there are however a few important things to note:
1) Copyright would become an issue if we let people use anything they liked
and
2) Inevitably some people would end up with gremlins that don`t look like gremlins
I`m very slowly working on a system that lets you create your own gremlin. You pick a base animal/object, and add 1 to 8 eyes wherever you want, plus a selection of accessories.
This would give people some freedom to muck about, but avoid any copyright issues as we`d have provided the images to start with.

Ooooo, that sounds nice!
Never thought of the copyright issue :(
So when can we expect this new feature? Weeks? Months?

No ETA unfortunately. The technology is there, but the semantics are not. :)

Winning in itself is worth more towards your final score now.
If you look at people who neglect their strength, they seem to be doing well but if you actually total up their stats scores, if they are in the same ballpark as yours you still beat them usually.
