New Full Tilt Avatars

#1 30th January 2008, 6:35 AM

This is kind of pointless, but I want to know what you guys think of their new avatars. I was disappointed when I saw them. My friend notified me, and I got all excited that they would actually have something cool. Oh well.
Take a look:

#2 30th January 2008, 6:50 AM

As soon as they came out with the stupid halloween ones, I turned 'em all off. Now I just see names and amounts.

#3 30th January 2008, 6:55 AM

Is Full Tilt preparing for an invasion?

With a few exceptions, I don't like their avatars. They need to fire their graphics designers and hire random people in their place.

^^^^This.

Mine is set to the fish because I figure I might as well tell the truth once at the poker table.

The avatars can be annoying, but there are some that are fun. I don't know, maybe I am just childish.

#6 30th January 2008, 8:05 AM

IMO, the only thing dumber than cartoon people avatars are cartoon people avatars that actually have emotions you can choose to display feelings at the table.

I keep FT avatars turned off at all times.

You have a point there.

A few of the animal avatars have some realistic emotions, but most others are just no good.

I use the 4th option for layout with just the name and a small emotionless avatar. It gives me information on what avatar people selected. Not sure it is useful, though

I have noticed that the turtles are usually strong players. Just an observation. lol

I don't mind the avatars. And I've grown quite fond of my little gecko.

#10 30th January 2008, 3:19 PM

#11 30th January 2008, 3:38 PM

I was hoping to see FT add the Dario Minieri avatar...

#12 30th January 2008, 3:40 PM

I like the avatars, and I like the shit eating grin that passed for a smile on my doberman.

One good reason for avatars- Multi-Tabling.

At FT, PS, and a few others it is no problem fixing your place at a table, but on the Cake sites (for instance) you can't peg you seat, and an avatar helps locate where I am.
In the case of railers, an avatar can help locate our hero's faster as they move from table to table seeking the big prize.

That is true. Well, 1/2 true.

#20 30th January 2008, 6:23 PM

Maybe they should give one of the Google logo designers a night job. ..

#21 30th January 2008, 6:29 PM

I always turn them off anyway, there more annoying then anything else.

#22 31st January 2008, 5:30 AM

Wow - there's a definite theme to them, isn't there...

In general though I don't mind the avatars, normally I leave them on.

I find they help a little bit with remembering action: "the donkey on the other side of the table is playing like this, and the smoking granny is playing like that", for example. Without the avatars, they'd just be two names and chip stacks. I'd probably still pick up the patterns, but I feel like the avatars help me retain the information quicker.

I don't mind the avatars on Full Tilt. I like to check out the avatars for the pros. I really want to see Mike "The Mouth" change the emotion on his some time when he takes one of his famous donkey beats.

#24 4th February 2008, 4:56 PM

I find the avatars much less annoying since I switched to the "racetrack" configuration. They're less noticable, hence less annoying.

I can't get enthused about them, BUT, if they ad an El Kabong avatar, I'll def. make the switch.

#25 4th February 2008, 5:04 PM

I guess this is their way of honoring the US military.

#26 4th February 2008, 10:28 PM

I'm just tired of all the same hot latina girl with big bazongas. I doubt they all look like that.

My avatar is the Rooster.

I always thought that the term "friendly fire" was a terrible misnomer

Greetings. Quite a few feathers over here recently. Been here a while now and enjoy the site. More poker related material.

FT gave me the dobie at random when I joined and I've never changed it. Good to see you - look for you on the tables. Welcome to C/C ...

Take a look:

Seems like FT would let players chose their own Avatar, as does PokerStars.

IMAO

Believe it or not Ian, that is what I picture you to look like. So if I should find myself walking along the road anywhere in the UK, and I see some guy dressed like that, please call 911 as I am suffering a sever acid flashback.

#33 7th February 2008, 6:03 PM

I did see a guy called buzz using one of these new avatars, which made me ask whether he was Buzz Lightyear

Calling 999 would probably be more effective also you are quite likely to see them in somebody's front garden in the UK
