    The pandering in this thread disappoints me.

    What makes you think she has a saying?

    I like the Liz Taylor Image. Not sure whether or not it fits our Caity as an avatar though.

    You've apparently been stumbling blindly around here for the past half year or you'd know that titles are given to you by the community based on character and personality, not your own choosing. Yeah you can give your opinion, but the higher ups have the final say.

    And posting a picture of herself here has nothing to do with having a shred of sense or not. The majority of members here have, and as far as I know, the Evil Tree hasn't come to claim their lives yet. Can you magically tell when anyone is posing as someone of the opposite sex over the internet?

    Your pointless whining about the discussion of a thread to which you refuse to contribute anything enlightening of your own, all while under the assumption that anyone cares, disappoints me.

    Now, so I'm not just greefing the cause here, I'll put up an idea.

    I like the sense of curiosity and craftiness the woman portrays. And she has that dominant "don't fuck with me" look in her eyes, same as Caity's posts.

    Yes its a banner and I don't have Photoshop so I'm not altering it. If you don't get the Spiteful thing then I'm not explaining it.

    I like what Vorak put up, but it would actually disturb me to no end to see somebody with that avatar having BDSM flirtation with papadog.

    I do not agree with Vorak. Thus, I must present alternatives...

    Because she would be the one who posts the picture. If she would, in fact, prefer a user title along the lines of being a writer, then her incentive would be to not post a picture as that may lead to an alternative title.

    Read above; I was referring to her incentive to post a picture and not about any form of say she has or not. In fact, I composed a detailed post explaining how avatars are selected for posters (I only mentioned avatars as the OP only inquired about them and not titles):

    Hey GarfBarf, perhaps you should just not post in this thread. :)

    I don't think that Lady Death is quite fitting, simply due to the sheer paleness of her. However, this was always my favorite LD:

    I like both the LD in red and what Vorak posted. So those are my votes.

    I personally think the WoW female gnome mage is hilarious.

    I see now that Arthgon has relinquished the title of Captain of the Failboat, we have a rightful heir to the position.

    GarmFart, if you were really such a definitive source on the subject, you'd realize that avatar and title bestowing goes hand in hand. The concept you proclaim of her posting a picture of herself having any impression on what avatar and/or title she ultimately gets is pure fabrication. DE made an offhand remark that she was short and hot. I made a harmless jab at his sexual preference saying that because she's never posted any pictures, his assumption of her being a woman could be taken as an ironic pass at who is actually a guy. And it's just as likely that a guy could be considered (most likely by a member of the opposite sex) short and hot. No where was any connection between what gender specific features she possesses and what avatar and title she gets made. It's all based on character, demeanor, seniority, and contribution to the community.

    Thank you for taking something trivial and blowing it way out of proportion.

    The fault was not with me but with those who lacked the insight the understand the concept I was conveying. What happened was that you and wobbler lacked the insight to figure out I was referring to incentive to post the picture, and not to any form of say Xiao would have. This is why you both felt the need to inform me that individuals have no power to choose their own titles, even though I already knew this, and provided evidence for my knowledge.

    There are a lot of nerdgins on the nets who want pictures, and yeah, you could be one of them. People tend to joke to convey their hidden wishes to others without having to admit the existence of the wishes.

    Yup.

    Heck, it's a given really. Xiao is Chinese for small.

    This thread urgently needs more midgets!

    [​IMG]DANGER! The Following quote contains a high quantity of asinine bullshit provided as a pitiful attempt at a defense against a logical statement![​IMG]

    Anyway, what're the current ideas? I'm still loving my Tank Girl idea.

    p.s: that's a different, new pic. ^_^

    The logic was perpendicular to the issue I was dealing with.
