Right now, to assist me in picking an avatar. In the future... who knows?

As pleasant as the fire hydrant picture is, I feel this is probably better for this game. What a dashing face!
First thoughts: Boo is using a lot of Cherry-isms and a lot of Pete-isms (spaces before commas for some reason, idfk). Whether it's Cherry or someone who's just using an exquisite corpse of IMDb user-isms, I do not know.
Second thoughts: I like the forest with the little star-looking things. I do not like how the image is cut-off and repeats. Boo (see how it has two meanings in this one post? Clever).
I'll explore more later.

That's my 10 minutes for now. I'll check back tonight. Need to remember to not overuse (read: correctly use) commas here. Also, tentative guess for Elsa = Emer. Could be entirely wrong, but not too bothered about this stuff (yet). Just shit as it pops into my head.

Aw, thanks, Gretmel. I don't, though. My activity in this game may end up being less than ideal (already in Mas' The Genius before joining this). But I'm sure if I can float through for a few rounds, I'll suddenly get super invested and systematically kill all my free time.
Much respect to Kathy and Nat.... ASIDE FROM THE IMAGE BEING SPLIT AND THE REPEAT GNAWING AT MY SOUL, this forum looks amazing, I love the concept/all the characters, and the twist really intrigues me. It's my first mystery game since Lsquared (when no one knew me, anyway) and I'm kind of excited.

Nat Cassidy, SO WHY NOT JUST ENLARGE IT?! i.imgur.com/onvwfkq.jpg  I actually really like the picture (dark yet whimsical forest...).  But that repeat... my eyes just keep going to it and I can't pull them away.  It'll still repeat on the side axis, but the actual dialog part should hide it.  Or crop it to 2/3 the width.  Or just ignore me entirely.  It's a nice picture, and the forum looks great!
Gretmel... I know. Â The social stuff... writing... while I'm at a handicap without commas, semi-colons, big words, "naw" and "bro", and all that good stuff. Â God help me. I might get lazy and just translate everything into Azerbaijani, then to Mongolian, then back to English or something. Â And thank you for the support... means a lot coming from you. Â Maybe soon... have a feeling Woody has a sense of who I am.

Is that better? I tried enlarging it the other day, and it made it worse, but it works now for me. Forumotion makes backgrounds look different for different people though. On my phone, it repeats and on my laptop, it doesn't.

Ha, you didn't actually need to change it. My insistence was a joke. And yeah, it'll display differently depending on the device. It looks good. I'll stop complaining. heh.

OK, so I just read through the previous season a bit, and Pete does the comma thing where , like , he puts a space on each side. So maybe he actually is Boo. Eh. I assume *you people* won't tell me whether I'm right or not, so this is kind of pointless.
There is an interesting strategy element to using a trademark writing style people will recognize... You don't have to ever reveal who you are, but everyone will know. Which means, if you're someone they trust, they'll trust you in this here mystery game. Makes you kind of a magnet to anyone lost, looking for something (someone) they can predict. In Pete's case, no one really seems to dislike him, he's a nice guy. So that could work to his advantage. Assuming I'm correct, I wonder if that's intentional on his part... And I wonder if I should start throwing in a sea of commas and "no worries". Takes a little of the fun out of it, though.
