I chose not to have an avatar. Back when they first introduced them (before my cable modem days), I noticed a severe lag in load times. When I turned Avatars off in my personal settings, that lag went away. So to help out, I chose not to use an avatar. I think that the load time lag was resolved, but I didn't follow it all that closely (avatars aren't really all that important to me). And I'm just too set in my ways to change, now.
Back on topic, several of my games have requested that I find replacement players for my turns while I'm gone. I have no objections to that, but when I looked at Walmart, I couldn't find them anywhere. I asked a clerk about it, but he just gave me a funny look, told me to "get a life, man" and walked away. Anybody know where I can get one of these nifty things?
