When scanning a page, the avatar provides first information to my brain about who I'm looking at. Then I look to make sure the avatar belongs to who I thought it did. With everyone changing their avatars I'm having to read first, and let me tell you I don't like it. HEADS WILL ROLL!
That said, I'm sticking with this avatar, which bears a striking resemblance to me really. Now that Lisa Stevens and the rest of the Paizo crew have changed their avatars to South Parkian models, and Lady Aurora doesn't post much anymore, it's just MWBeeler and I. I think perhaps we share an unspoken tontine... to survive one another and be crowned "the wolf head guy." It isn't much of a life goal, but hey, you know my motto, "Aim low and sort of try."

Since Homer the cyclopeans have been the target of discrimination in fantasy. It is time to bring this to an end.
Why can't we all just see eye to eye?

I agree. I thnk I've had like 12 aneurysms reading this Thread.
It started with the 2nd Post, which I thought was Makurion, but it turned out that after he later referred to Tarren and I hadn't seen Tarren that I went back up and saw that it was in fact Tarren that made the 2nd Post that my head sort of did this twitching thing for a minute.I'm like Daigle. This is my Third Avatar in I think 2 years, but my first one I made maybe 2 Posts with before I became Seoni. I begged Gary for the Calistria Pic from Gods & Magic and as soon as it was available I snagged it. I'll be sticking with it for the long haul unless something else REALLY catches my eye.
Stop changin' yer damn Avatars alla time ya young whipper snappers! And get offa my dang lawn!
EDIT: Although I'm gonna be a hypocrite here and say, "Hey Lynora, I like your new Avatar, pleae keep it!"

What the liquid nitrogen-cooled demilich look doesn't do it for you Flash?
Actually I noticed it earlier and I do quite like yours Pat. It does kinda look like a Monkey Lich doesn't it (which is a scary thought in and of itself - **imperious voice** Bow Down before Curtin, Lich Lord of Monkeys!).

I am also sticking to my old avatar, and noticed with amusement that if one lists the avatars on the order when they became available, mine is the least popular of the first page :)
So I guess I am the resident rusalka by default.

I agree. This is ridiculous.

While this whole avatar switching thing has been making my head hurt, I have to admit that it's been nice having an immediate visual distinction between me and my off-topic character. And with all the positive feedback I've gotten on the new avatar, I think I'll just hang on to this one :) Plus, how can I resist the opportunity to make Tarren feel like a dirty old man on a regular basis ;)

This is the only avatar I've used for my regular posting profile. The only time I get confused is when Tarren's son posts. As far as I know, he's the only other person with this avatar who posts here with any frequency.
I kinda feel for the kid, I'd hate for someone to confuse him with me, considering some of my posts here...

I heard a great variation on that on the radio one time, except it was Steakhouse or Gay Bar.
