I chose my avatar because there was a challenge that required the use of this avatar for a month. I like it, so I just kept it afterwards.

We were surfing the net and something came up as a hairy/hairless dog. We clicked on the image and my avatar appeared - it's a mexican breed and I recently found a friend who has one and brought it to the pub. They are not soft but rough to the touch - like a 2 day beard. All that was needed was to add the spliff. I only look like my avatar early in the morning.

This is only the second avatar I have used here. I changed it for one of the PL monthly avatar themes and kept it.

As a side note, I have no idea what any of the current events are for but felt like posting because I'm cute.

I'm pretty sure generalfault made avatars for every player in the VDLL. I used to have an old VDLL one or no avatar at all, so now I'm wearing this. I actually want a new one, but don't know what precisely.

Its a drawing I did when I was 13 and has ever since been my online avatar.

i was warned upon return from a bogus 6 month ban, for reporting people calling me N-SHOOTER in the forums (this was in no way racist as the admin was unable to find any instance of N-SHOOTER being racist, online)... excessive posts, i believe (yes, reporting every instance of veiled racism against me was somehow wrong)... anyway, upon my return, this admin sent me a PM, which still resides in my inbox and a few other spots... in this PM, he warned me to act as some sort of BLACK JESUS arisen from the dead, back to save the forums. DONE and DONE! the black jesus was born... at first, i used the Piss Christ image by Andres Serrano, just to get a rise out of people... Then I settled on the black iconography portrait of a Black Jesus. at the time, my friend's wife had begun painting icons for russian orthodox churches (quite amazing)... anyway, that is the birth of the black jesus and the present image...-Jésus noir

It was first becomming a new member plus the search of an original nick name. I had some ideas when i entered CC for the first time, in search for a couple games of risk via google.
The red star logo and red letters immediatly gave me right direction and good ideas. So a various range of names popped up like The_Red_Star, Red_Star07, Big-Red-Danger, Red_Alert etc. And as you can see the needle stopped at Code_RED. And i still dont regret it and really like the name and most of the time i also play with red.
Next step was finding a nice ava. Again i opened google and start typing stuff in for funny pictures. And then i thought what if i just type in my name and see what pops up. And there it was a couple pages of different related pics to the name code red. I also found out that 1 or 2 zombie movies are named the same. Then i just picked a simple one and this is the one and only for me.
That was my bed time story,

The lonely gamer and his avatar

They lived happily ever after.... Then end!

After the last avatar challenge with the alien, I wanted to change my avatar. My wife just saw that movie with the robot and found it quite cute. She was there when I was looking for an avatar so she asked me to put this one. I didn't mind.

by **jmyork82** on Mon Jan 04, 2016 6:45 pm

My avatar is General Kael from Willow. It was one of my favorite movies from my childhood. I wanted an avatar that would "strike fear" into the hearts of other CC players. So I chose him because he looked bad ass.

by **kjsnyi** on Mon Jan 04, 2016 8:12 pm

I have no avatar. Specifically chosen by me, because I'm boring. Token, please

-kjsnyi

by **josko.ri** on Mon Jan 04, 2016 8:16 pm

I have chosen my avatar to reflect one of my most admired books Steppenwolf.

by **Silly Knig-it** on Mon Jan 04, 2016 8:35 pm

Two kittens beating feet to get away
My player nam Silly Knig-it, (couldn't take Silly English Knight, too long), from Monty Phython and the Holy Grail.
Their battle cry was, "Run Away, Run Away"
I love cats.

So combining the two was easy.

Sporting my avatar for the entire month as part of the Monthly Challenge for July 2015 earned me a nice General Challenge medal and an opportunity to win a Yellow Star. Unfortunately, I had no luck winning the yellow star!

by **Dukasaur** on Tue Jan 05, 2016 3:03 am

Cool stories! I enjoyed reading them all. It's cool sometimes to hear the backstory for things like avatars and slogans that seem almost random.

13 players participated in the Day 4 contest. The five winners are:
Donelladan
Silly Knig-it
owenshooter
kjsnyi
jmyork82

All will win a Day 4 token by default, but can ask for a different one.

And now you're too late for the Day 4 lottery, but Day 5 begins soon..

by **Dukasaur** on Tue Jan 05, 2016 3:26 am

Day 5 task. Say something nice about another CC member. It must be someone who is currently on the scoreboard, so no dredging up your favourite ghosts from the past. Please make only genuine compliments. Backhanded compliments, sarcasm, or general snarkiness will be ignored. Only genuine (in my opinion) expressions of admiration will be put in the draw.

Go for it!

Josko, nice to see you back. These events are a lot more interesting with 1 of the top players on cc around.

by **MossyMUFC** on Tue Jan 05, 2016 4:55 am

All hail SirGeoffers, a gentleman among the barbarians that we be.

by **Leverpuller** on Tue Jan 05, 2016 5:11 am

I participate quite regularly in tournaments,
Mostly because of great plots but some because of advertisements.
But I just want to put this down on record,
One particular TO is simply top of the horde.
Whenever he sets up a tourney,
I can be guaranteed an amazing journey.
Twists, turns and surprise lurks,
Thrills, spills and the whole works.
This special TO I proclaim to all,
None other than our dear Dukasaur!!!
=D>

Thanks shoop76, the CC incline became with my return

I've tried to think of something nice to say but no it can't be done, you're all wrong-uns...... Just kiddin (not all) - would like to say a special thanks to 'silly knig it' who organised great and diverse tourneys.
