so I was thinking, allot of us like to design profile pics and use our own as examples, so here's my idea, why not set up a system that allows users to pay for second and third pics to scroll across on their profile?

examples: You have 5 pics you've made for this account, you pay .10 credit to add each new one and as your profile is viewed they'd rotate out.

an extension for this would be selling pics in game, you pull up a page in put name, price and pic location, and hit send, if the person likes the pic, they can buy it right then, or, maybe, in put a counter offer. The selling "app" could cost say 5 credits or 500k. The app would add your current name to a list of sellers players could choose from, and in order to send a pic, the player has to go threw the store and "commission" a piece, to prevent spam.

easy fix to keep thieves from stealing, tag the pic with a ghost "sample" across it, so you can see the sample, and if you save it, it'll have the ghost writing on it when they post it, making it obvious they stole it. Like this:

To be honest, if people wanted multiple pictures they could just create a .gif file with everything they want in it.

I also think word of mouth is the best way to advertise and sell profile pictures... I don't see what's so hard about seeing a picture you like the look of and asking the person who it belongs to, who made it. This game is about creating connections and actually talking to people, not just clicking buttons to get what you want :)

Got to agree with DeadlySin here: Though I have no idea how to make Gif files, and I doubt im the only one. But there are loads around here that are always willing to help.

Ive met many people through discussing profile pics and asking to hire their services.
